I still have and shoot with a Yashica Mat 124G TLR on occasion for the simple reason that it slows me down.

WLF (everything reversed) – check
Single, fixed-focus lens (zoom with your feet) – check
6x6cm frame – check
12 exposures/roll – check

I still have a number of 35mm cameras but I can’t imagine using them. Ironically, we did a photo shoot with the local photography group several years ago to celebrate 120 years of 35mm film. Most of the people in the group had never shot film before. It was quite comical to watch! No, there’s no rear LCD. You have to look through that little hole called the viewfinder. Yes, you have to move that thumb lever after every exposure. And so on.

Mike.

Quite a perspective of a bygone era…

I have never had any luck with the inexpensive USB or Thunderbolt to Firewire dongles. However I have successfully used a Firewire PCI card within an outboard PCI card box for years. This (with cards) allows connection of recent computers to all my ancient eSATA and Firewire drives.

Good to know!

Thanks, Chris.

Might just be my eyes – the bird looks great, but the feet look too bright and too contrasty. A fine image overall, though.

The dehaze tool will fix you right up.

All seriousness aside, nicely done!

Forget the camera. Did you bring food?

Re: George Fishing

Huh. Apparently my comment disappeared again.

Happy Fishing, George!

We live a walk from Beacon Hill Park, which hosts the sights, sounds and smells of a Great Blue Heron rookery every year. It means we get to watch the nest building, the courtship, the young fledging and leaving the nest for the first time, and to come across moult feathers and Bald Eagle predation. There was a young bird a number of years back who was kept alive through the ministrations of a local seniors apartment building. They named him Henry and he became adept at snagging handouts. We also live a walk from the ocean and will often see the same birds fishing there.
