Wray 7" WAR lens. 1sec f/22 on Kodak O.800 9x12cm glass plates. Conventional wet print.
Some undeveloped spots on the negative, and the effects of long shutter speed... also, i didn't think I was supposed to be able to get skies with ortho film?

Sinar-F with binocular viewer

Another spares or repair ebay purchase, the binocular viewer needed some glue, a couple of new screws, a new spring, and (with a LOT of head scratching) me to work out how the internal string wraps round internally so the control adjusts the mirror correctly. That is all now achieved and the viewer is displayed here with a Sinar F on its test outing.

The lens isn't original for the shutter, and you can also see my table of f-number equivalents on a sticky label attached to the lensboard...

Always wanted one of these. This one was not much more than some hefty postage charge on ebay. Described as "for repair" I think the only thing wrong with it is that it needs a new bulb (a fairly standard halogen 6V 20W G4 capsule.) Some are on order.

Very old Flickr bug

In the excitement of new formats and layouts and introducing brand new exciting bugs for us to all admire, let's not forget some very very old bugs. It would be nice to be able to search images reliably by tag, but it's not possible, it seems. (In this case they really can't say that databases haven't synchronised properly after 2 months....)

To get to the above screen, just click the tag in the image, as you should to search for images by tag.

If you search in a different way (but still by tag)
www.flickr.com/search/?q=bfm0313&m=tags&ss=2&...
you will find there are 70 photos (only two of mine) that have this tag. So why does Flickr lie to us? Why is it impossible to search reliably by tag?

This one was a bit of a challenge to make a distinctive portrait with a wide lens.
