I dig an orange paper from the bin and put it in front of the headlight to make it warmer and take some power off. That way I could use longer exposure time and get more of the ambient light from the windows. Also as there was less light, it was possible to use bigger aperture to get a nice 3D feeling to the picture. Worked quite nicely.<br /> <br /> The reason behind selling this camera is that I got offered a digital rangefinder for a price which was impossible to refuse, so I have to sell some of my not-so-important camera stuff to finance it. Also it doesn't help that I just got accepted in to a photojournalism school at Lahti, which means moving into a new apartment, and that in turn means more expenses..<br /> <br /> So, first camera to go is this beautiful Zeiss Super Ikonta III from the 50s.<br /> <br /> More pictures on my site:<br /> <a href="http://www.sikaheimo.com/myynti/superikonta/">www.sikaheimo.com/myynti/superikonta/</a><br /> <br /> EDIT: Just sold this camera, thanks to everyone who were interested.<br /> <br /> ist d and k35/2</p> Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:54:02 -0700 2008-07-28T03:32:54-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (sikaheimo) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/2734425938 Zeiss Super Ikonta III <p>Had a boring night, and as I had to take some pictures of a Zeiss Super Ikonta to sell it on some forums, I decided to try some light painting on it.<br /> At first I tried a led headlight, but it's light was really cold and harsh.
