Das ist mit dem neuen Voigtlaender 21mm gemacht.

Das war am Morgen nach der Eclips mit dem 135mm Elmar aus der Hand.

These are the colours without filter - not quite right.

Without the infrared filter Canon 35/1.8

Six mile creek on the way to Pomona. The day before the water was 1m higher and you could not see the large tree across the bridge.

Another one.

Alle Bilder sind von Zuers. Ziemlich sicher mit der Canon F1 gemacht auf Kodachrome (25ASA). Jetzt werde ich mal den DELTA vo Ilford probieren.

I took the good old Minolta CLE out with the Canon 50/1.4 and bought a Kodack BW400CN. The dynamic range of this film is quite amazing. But amazing is also what sort of quality you get back from a normal lab. Even in my worst times I have never produced as dirty a film as I got back yesterday. If scanned with 4800 you can see the blobs (grain) very clearly so I went back to 3200 and this was quite reasonable.

Can you find the Kookaburra?

The Sunshine coast classic rally came past our house today. Lots of nice cars and a lot of noise. The Canon proofed to be the right choice for this task. Not so much because of the autofocus - it cetainly helped, but more so because I could use the 800 Isoand achieve sufficiently short shutter speeds. The M8 was easier to use because of the viewfinder, you could follow the cars much easier, but the speeds I had to use were too long. This is the slight corner opposite our drive way.

The sunrise is reflected in the glass of the shed.

This is the first test portrait with the new CV75. It seems to be not that contrasty lovely for BW. The Leica mount version of the CV is absolutely great. I think it is even sharper than the old one.

It was the last option when I finally succeeded in separating the head from the body of the 135 mm. It certainly was worth while. Not only is the 135 head a great macro lens it also allows with the bellows a wide range of magnifications.

A bit eerie!

I am going through the Melbourne trip again and found this photo.

This rose is on it's peak it - goes downhill very quickly from here on.

Noosa tricycle tours.Chrome and red was always fascinating to me.

Noch'n Jedicht!

I did some testing of the 135mm this morning and I think I got it right now.

Kai, das ist mit dem justierten 135mm - fast zu scharf (kein extra Schaerfen).

The weather cleared up for the long weekend. The nights are really cold but during the day it goes up to 20 - quite pleasant. I spent my time trying to adjust he 135mm and I think I am pretty close now - at least in the 2 -10 meter range. I think at infinity the lack of sharpness is me I need about 1/200 to getv a sharp shot handheld.

We are in the clouds today and I did not forget to put the SD card into the camera. Its raining (thank you) and the clouds are racing up the hills fom Lake Cootharaba. The scenery is changing every minute.

Two more in the Bamboo collection.

These are done with the Summicron C 40

I love the delicate flowers and the scurile shape and colour of the dead flowers. This shot looks very diffrent (summicron C 90) to the one on the day before with the Canon 50/1.5
