To be, or not to be Analogue that is the question..

 

To be, or not to be Analogue that is the question and after seeing the documentry that I have below. I think the answer is yes and it was a great documentary so please don't miss it.

My problem is that it costs too much with film and lab. But if I start developing film myself again it should be doable if I buy the cheapest black and white film (Fomapan 400). The next project will be with the Hasselblad 500C/M. 

Is this not the most beutiful picture? I loan it on Hasselblads website and please visit and learn more on Hasselblad history here: hasselblad

Nikkor lenses ~ Love

So the 2 lenses I have for my new (old) Fujifilm X camera are 2 older Nikkor lenses that I borrow from my brother. Pancake NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8 AI-s (1980-82) and a NIKKOR 35mm 2.8 Al (1979-2005). Fully manual focus and I'm really like this 35mm. It's a shame the Pancake lens isn't small with the adapter.

Manual focus is ok as long as it's not dark outside. Then you have to take a few extra pictures to be sure you got the picture.

Cutest little Phalangium opilio on my house wall

Does it not look so shy and cute? I have lots of them on my house wall every summer and fall.

Phalangium opilio (also known as the common harvestman, brown harvestman and daddy longlegs) is a species of harvestman belonging to the family Phalangiidae.

Long exposure ~ 3 seconds

 

If you lack photo inspiration, my tip is to try long exposures. All you need is a tripod. This picture is with 3 seconds, Iso 250 and with an old Nikkor 50mm lens so with manual focus.

Fujifilm X

 

I got myself an old Fujifilm X camera. 26.1 MP so this will work even if I want to do prints, books or other jobs.

And notice soon that I could not survive without a camera. A couple of months without and was going crazy and so depressed. What would I do with my time if I wasn't shooting?
