Grandfather's Leica Camera

Photographer Discovers an Old Leica and 20K Slides in Late Grandfather’s Belongings

by DL Cade

Photographer John Oliver of Film Foto Forever didn’t know his grandfather-in-law, Jackson McIntosh Holliday, was a photographer until it was too late. Jack passed away on October 11th, 2013, and it was only recently, when John’s wife and her family were sorting through her grandfather’s things, that they found an old Leica IIIC in amazing condition and 20k plus slides of his work.

John’s wife’s family know that he’s passionate about photography, and so the Leica and the slides have gone to him, and he immediately set about scanning them in, getting to know his late grandfather-in-law on a deeper level than ever before.

“I had no idea he was an avid photographer,” he writes in a blog post about Jack, “a fact which I deeply regret not knowing while he was still alive.”

The photos below are some of the first John has managed to digitize, revealing a young Jack with his Leica around his neck, and some images he took at a Grand Prix in Watkins Glen NY, in September of 1956:

Most of the photos above were taken with the selfsame Leica that is now in John’s possession, a camera he intends to pass down to his daughter, Vera Jane. Any photos not taken with the Leica were taken on a Rolleicord III and a Kodak 35.

To find out more about Jack’s history or keep up with John as he continues to upload more of the photographs he finds in the massive slide collection, head over to the Film Foto Foreverstore’s blog by clicking here.

Polaroid 600 Film

Poison Paradise Special Edition Color for Polaroid 600

Impossible has launched three new instant films. "Continuing its approach of ‘innovating’ the classic square white frame associated with Polaroid instant photography, Impossible has created these films especially for Summer adding their own darker twist; deadly snakes can be seen twisted around stems and moving through the tropical fauna," the company says. The Poison Paradise Special Edition Color for Polaroid 600 cameras includes Hibiscus – the darkest frame, using a black background to set off the oranges and reds of the flowers, Fuchsia – the warmest frame, using the purples and creams of the blooms to uplift the orange background, and finally Frangipani, the brightest frame, using a sky blue base to bring the South American flowers to life. These are the first Impossible instant films to have am ‘expiry date’ use by date printed on them, enabling users to know exactly how long they have with the film. Impossible Poison Paradise can be used in any Polaroid 600 type camera and the Impossible Instant Lab.

Impossible Press Release

COLOUR 600 – POISON PARADISE:

THE NEW IMPOSSIBLE SPECIAL EDITION FILM

Inspired by the Summer 14 floral lead collections, Impossible has created another new film - the Poison Paradise Special Edition Color for Polaroid 600 cameras. Continuing its approach of ‘innovating’ the classic square white frame associated with Polaroid instant photography, Impossible has created these films especially for Summer adding their own darker twist; deadly snakes can be seen twisted around stems and moving through the tropical fauna. Each of these prints have been chosen to perfectly balance and accent the colors in Impossible 600 type film and have taken their name from tropical flowers; Hibiscus – the darkest frame, using a black background to set off the oranges and reds of the flowers, Fuchsia – the warmest frame, using the purples and creams of the blooms to uplift the orange background, and finally Frangipani, the brightest frame, using a sky blue base to bring the South American flowers to life. These films are the boldest offering yet from Impossible, as well as creating a ‘collection’ from the three different prints.

These films are the latest in a series of Impossible Special and Limited Edition films that offer not just alternatives to a white frame – black, silver, gold, various colors, and even animal skins – but also different colored film emulsions, including cyan, magenta and sepia. These are also the first films to have am ‘expiry date’ use by date printed on them, enabling users to know exactly how long they have with the film. Impossible Poison Paradise can be used in any Polaroid 600 type camera and the Impossible Instant Lab.

Analog photography is finding an every growing following, owing to a younger generation growing bored with the predictable same-ness of digital photography, Impossible continue to innovate and refresh an art form that many believed to be defunct. 

Alex Holbrook, communications manager explains; “Impossible have always been regarded as the ‘punks’ of the photography world; a young company that pushes to change the connotation, and audience, of this medium. Innovation is the key to awareness and creativity, Impossible’s design team research the worlds of fashion, culture and trends to create something that has never been seen before. Poison Paradise is the boldest move yet, as it can be seen as a seasonal product, but by adhering to fashion calendar with our Special Editions there is always something new.”

For the past six years, the still very small company has exerted an increasing influence on popular visual culture, shifting taste from the virtual to the visceral with a wide range of color and b&w films for Polaroid SX-70, 600 and Image-Spectra cameras, large-format 8 x10, and its own-branded hardware, notably the Instant Lab – which enables digital iPhone images to be converted into real instant photographs. The new Impossible Poison Paradise for Polaroid 600 and the Impossible Instant Lab will be available for pre-order on 14th August through the Impossible Online Shop and selected resellers worldwide.

Drone aerial photography explained: Here's what it is and how to do it

If you want to become a drone aerial photographer, you've come to the right place.
Have you ever watched a film scene where the camera pans over the mountains, stunning vistas, or some other wide-sweeping landscape? Drone aerial photography allows you to capture that same kind of landmark footage, minus the Hollywood effects. Instead of relying on a film crew, you only need is a remote-controlled drone, otherwise called an unmanned aerial vehicle by hobbyists, and camera equipment. And time. Lots and lots of time for practice.
For those of you who want to learn all about about this hobby, which is currently exploding in popularity across the world, Pocket-lint has detailed everything you need to know. We've discussed the equipment you'll want to buy and even some resources and clubs worth checking out. With the tips listed in this guide, you'll be one step closer to soaring and capturing amazing aerial views.
Read on to find out more.

What is a drone?

A drone is a simply an aircraft - relatively small - piloted either autonomously by onboard computers or by a remote control on the ground. Drones have been used for military and special operation applications in recent history, but modern technology has allowed companies to manufacturer commercial versions for consumer use. In this guide, we will discuss how to do aerial photography with drones for consumers.

How to get started

Follow the law
Before you send a flying robot into the sky, check your local law. In the US, for instance, FAA guidelines stipulate that drones and other model aircraft must stay less than 400 feet above the ground and not within 3 miles of an airport or air traffic. Some states are strict when it comes to trespassing laws as well. Steering a drone over someone's house and property could be considered a trespassing violation.
Drones
Now that you've done your research into local law, you can start the process of finding the perfect drone to suit your needs. Introductory models such as the $80Blade Nano QX are ideal for people just learning how to fly, because they're cheap. You will likely crash the drone during your first few flight attempts, so you don't want to invest a lot initially.
After you've practiced a bit, you can consider fully-assembled models such as the $750 3D Robotics' Iris or more popular models like DJI's Phantom series. The company's quadcopters start around $500. If you want a Phantom model that comes with an attached GoPro camera, you'll have to shell out about twice as much. One of the most well-rated setups currently on the market is the DJI Phantom 2.
Other drones worth considering include the Hubsan X4 micro quadcopter, Estes Proto X mini quadcopter, smartphone-controlled Parrot AR Drone 2.0, UDI U818Acamera quadcopter, and STORM Drone 6 GPS. Keep in mind whether you want the aircraft to come with a camera, and if not, the amount of payload you want it to carry. You'll also want to look at how long-lasting the battery should be for your purposes and if you want to control the drone via a smartphone or remote.
Cameras
If you didn't select a drone with a built-in camera, you will need to get a video camera that will provide the best image quality for its size and weight. The GoPro Hero3 Black Edition is the standard when it comes to aerial videography and photography. It weighs only 73 grams and can record video (2,704×1,524 pixels) at 45Mbps. It also features built-in Wi-Fi for downloading your footage and maximum compatibility with OEM and third-party accessories.
But you don't need fancy cameras for aerial photography as long as you ensure there is no vibration, because that'll completely ruin your footage quality. Vibration can come from the drone, its engine, and air turbulence. Small drones bounce around a lot, for instance, so you'll need to use vibration isolators and gimbals (more on this later) to eliminate the possibility of vibration. Fast lenses that are sharp at large apertures will help too.
Stabilised aerial video is made possible with the inclusion of gimbals. A gimbal is a support that allows the rotation of an object around an axis. Note that a gimbal with a brushless motor can provide greater power-to-weight ratio. Gimbals forGoPro cameras are available for as little as $150 and can simply be bolted to the bottom of any aerial platform. The Zenmuse gimbal is a popular example.
Extra equipment
You can't truly experiment with drone aerial photography without getting a few other bits and bobs. You may want to see where you're flying while steering a drone from the ground, for instance. To do this, you can use something like a video transmitter, such as the Immersion RC 5.8ghz 600mw, which greatly increases the range of a 5.8GHz link, and then you can pair it with a Duo5800 or Uno5800 receiver on the ground to get noise-free video.
An analog video transmitter, like the Immersion RC, is used to broadcast real-time video from the camera. You then use the receiver, like the Duo5800, along with a monitor, smartphone, or even LCD glasses to see what the drone sees. The Fat Shark Dominator Goggles are popular glasses for viewing video feeds. An entry-level FPV (first-person view) system, such as the Ready Made RC 5.8GHz starter kit, can also be purchased ready to go for around $250.
And finally, some drones, or rather specific applications of aerial photography, may require additional things like a specialised RC remote or even anti-gravity motors. You should thoroughly research all the drone accessories available and how they can aid you as an aerial photographer.

Tips and Tricks

Photography
There are numerous tips, in fact too many to cover here, when it comes to photography, but we will cover a few. First up: use a shorter lens on your camera, because the wind will knock your camera around otherwise. You will also want the fastest lens you can get such as a professional f/2.9 zoom lens. Fixed-focal length lenses are also excellent. Fast shutter speeds around 1/1,000 second at 200mm or even 1/500 at 100mm are necessary to ensure your footage is sharp.
Keep in mind, when it comes to lenses, anything shorter than about a 35 mm lens on a 35 mm camera or a 24mm lens on a DSLR might include the drone's landing gear. Capturing certain objects may also require a long lens like a 80-200 mm f/2.8 zoom. And if haze is a problem in your footage, and it often is, set your camera to high contrast and look at the histogram. You may even want to shoot with a red filter if getting black and white video.
Speaking of filters, UV and Haze filters tend to not work.
Safety
Read anywhere online about how to get started with drone aerial photography and the first tip you'll come across is practice. Similar to how pilots need to train before taking off in aeroplane, you will need to practice flying a drone. Nothing but time will make you get better at steering or capturing stunning aerial footage.
That said, whether you're just getting started or are a seasoned professional, there are some obvious safety rules you'll need to remember. Always think about what you might hit if your drone crashes. You should never fly over large crowds of people - unless you have a lot of experience and are confidence in your equipment. You should also avoid areas and altitudes where you could collide with manned aircraft or stumble upon unfriendly weather.
Certain low-end and medium-end drones can't even operate in extremely high altitudes because of the thin air (and their motors tend to freeze), so you'll want to analyse all the types of environments that both you and your drone can handle before attempting any flight.
Resources
It's important to have fun when doing drone aerial photography...and part of the fun can be looking into and discovery all the resources available to you. Online forums are great place to learn and engage with other people who love the hobby. Examples include DIY Drones, Multi-Rotor Forums, and the DJI Phantom Users Group on Facebook.
Dronestagram is a year old drone photography community that not only gives photographers a platform to share their images but also holds sponsored contests. Most recently, Dronestagram announced the winners of its first contest sponsored by National Geographic and Go Pro. The 2014 Dronestagram Photo Contest received entries from all over the world, and photos ranged from subjects like eagle soaring over Bali to Filipinos playing in a park on a Sunday morning.
There's also clubs you could join. The DC Area Drone User Group is the the largest UAV club in the US, while the Academy of Model Aeronautics will even teach you how to be safe and prevent accidents.

Photographer uses old-school methods for fresh look at state

Written by Jason Vondersmith

The technological revolution happened many years ago in professional photography. Out went film and slides and in came digital, and even the die-hard photographers went the way of the future. Except Nancy J. Smith. Not yet, anyway.

"I still shoot (slow-speed) slides and film," says Smith, an East Multnomah County/Gresham resident her entire life and producer of one of the finest calendars in the country for 23 years. "I'm still shooting the same equipment (Canon). And the only thing I use (for enhancement) is a polarizing filter. I use only natural light.

"Eventually, I'm going to have to go to digital ... which has got to the point where it's real nice quality. But, I'm also trying to preserve film photography. It's worked."

Indeed, it has worked for Smith, who has won five national awards for her calendars, called "The Majestic Pacific Northwest." Winning calendar contests is a big deal, because big-time photographers and firms usually enter them. In 2013, she won the National and World Calendar Award against entries from the likes of the National Geographic Society, Utah Office of Tourism, Road & Track magazine, Arizona Highways, and Mutual of Omaha Insurance.

Smith scouts locations, tirelessly shoots photos, edits them and self-publishes (and prints locally). That's why it's a big deal. "I've been enormously humbled to compete with giants," she says. She entered calendar competitions for the first time in 1996 and has won four national awards of merit from the Calendar Marketing Association.

Awards are one thing, making money another, but pure enjoyment from the process of producing the calendar — especially the scouting and nature part — drive Smith.

"The biggest thing that inspired me was the beauty of nature," she says, "wanting to capture that and share with other people. We have such beautiful scenery here. I've been camping and going out in the woods since I was a little girl, and I'm always amazed how beautiful it is. I'm a modern-day explorer, I'm always venturing off the beaten path in search of extraordinary images.

"So many people don't have time to go out, or can't go out. ... I can bring joy to a lot of people through this. I send them all over the world."

A great many individuals produce calendars throughout the United States, including the region and state. Smith sells at places from Powell's City of Books and New Seasons to Timberline Lodge to Seattle and, of course, on Amazon.com and nancyjsmith.com.

"I have developed a niche market," she adds. "There is the upper image of something scenic and then information about the place; on the grid, I'll have an inset photo and extensive text of wildlife, plants, etc. People love that part of my calendar ... instead of doing 12 pretty pictures."

But, it's more than about business; it's about a person going out into the wild and experiencing greatness. Smith can remember many days sitting in the woods and waiting for the right moment to take a snap of Mount Hood and other places, watching weather develop, the sky change, "the magical time" — "I've become a weather person," she says.

In the 2014 calendar, the August photo of North Cascades National Park in Washington, the "American Alps" east of Bellingham, offers the beautful juxtaposition of rugged mountain peaks and flowers on the hillside — "it's like you were in the 'Sound of Music' movie," she says. "In a hiking book, it says hikers have been known to break into song."

A most memorable experience was shooting photos at Mount Bachelor after a wind and ice storm left unique ice formations at the top. She remembers one of her first memorable photos after she took up the profession 24 years ago. "Wispy Mt. Hood, an aerial shot," she says. Other than "Wispy Mt. Hood," her favorite shot of our closest peak was called "As Evening Comes" when bad weather forced to her to shoot from a ridge on the south side.

Another favorite spot is Mount Jefferson, where she has been hiking and camping since she was 3.

The 2015 calendar, now on sale, features Mount Baker in January to Mount Rainier in July to a Ponderosa pine in December.

Each year is challenging, she says, even with such beauty in her backyard, like Mount Hood.

"People have commented about my calendar being real about what's happening at that time of year," she says. "I spend a lot of time, painstakingly. ... You'd think after 23 years it'd be easy. But, it's my baby. ...

"Each photo represents a story unto itself."

New Book and Free Book

I’m usually really excited to be announcing a new book launch but recent events have somewhat dulled my enthusiasm. I received the final edit over the weekend and as always my editor has done a great job. I thought about delaying this but then decided I wanted to try to regain some normality. I also had the opportunity to dedicate the book to the memory of my mother.

Despite my subdued mood I am very pleased with the content. I think the book is pretty unique in its approach to developing peoples photography. Having said that I will probably find several hundred people now write to me to say it reminds them of another book.

If you want to take a look here are the links to amazon.co.uk and amazon.com. You can also search for “The Photographers Coach” on amazon.

Additionally, if you would like to get a free copy of my book “How to Avoid and Remove Image Noise with Nik Dfine 2″, this will be available for free download on the 2nd August and 3rd August from the amazon Kindle store.

The links are as follows for amazon.co.uk and amazon.com. If your on my Lenscraft mailing list I will be sending out a reminder nearer the time.

Please feel free to spread the word and I hope you enjoy.

In Memory of Velvia

Wastwater in the Lake District. Captured on a Sony R1. Processed with Alien Skin Exposure 6.

Do you remember Velvia slide film? I used to shoot this stuff all the time. It was horribly contrasty and a pig to scan. It was however the best colour slide film for Landscapes (possibly) and pre digital, all the pro’s in the UK would rave about it.

So why am I telling you all this given digital’s “better”? I just happened to be playing around with this old image shot an a Sony R1, trying different settings in Alien Skin Exposure 6. I was actually looking at the Infrared film simulations but then thought I would check some of the colour slide settings. As soon as I hit the Velvia preset I was transported back in time.

I have to be honest though. The version you see here was toned down a little as I don’t think all you digital users are ready for full on exposure (pun intended) to Velvia. If you haven’t looked at Alien Skin Exposure it’s worth trying the free download.

It’s a great piece of software and no I’m not making any money out of sharing this.

Photography Decision: Digital Or Film?

Photography Decision: Digital Or Film?

Photography, not something I have blogged about for a while but something I have been doing even if I haven’t got around to updating my flickr account (http:\\www.flickr.com/archerctb/) for a while. I have plenty to put up there but I just haven’t had the time recently.
At the moment I am questioning where to go next with my photography in the whole ‘digital vs film’ debate. I have just started a new job having been unemployed for eight months before doing so and the truth is that film photography just ended up becoming too expensive for me. The cost of film, developing (or chemicals if home developing) and so on just became prohibitive so I ended up doing much more digital photography.
I still shoot digital in much the same way as I shoot film really, I’m not someone who just snaps away and taking twenty versions of each shot. Each shot is thought about and done carefully, sure I may sometimes take it twice just to be on the safe side but that is about it. Apart from some exposure comensation on shots I don’t tend to do a lot of post production either. I also love to use my M42 lenses on my Nikon DSLR.
The truth is that I cannot afford Nikon lenses that will give good Bokeh so I use the old lenses for their Bokeh and the look they give the images in general. True, I lose infinity focus because I don’t use an adapter with glass in it (I find it loses some of the look of the old lenses) but I can still get good images. The images my old 50mm Tessar and 135mm Jupiter 37A give are completely different to my Nikon 35-70mm and my Sigma 70-300mm, not that I am knocking the modern lenses as I love them too but I use them all for different things.
I am always going to shoot some film as I love it too much, the look of the images is totally different to digital, but I have learned a new appreciation for digital photography over the last several months. So here is what I am considering doing:
1) Shooting film as my ‘experimental’ and ‘fun’ shots. To be honest, I have had to sell all my medium format cameras to get some money while unemployed so I am down to 35mm now and I think I will stick with that. Expired, redscale, cross processed and other film experiments can be fun sometimes and are best for some projects – sure you can recreate similar (but not identical) effects in post production of digital images but I quite like the unpredictability of using film for this. I will also shoot some black and white to develop myself, more for the sheer fun of doing it than anything else.
2) Use digital for my more ‘serious’ work. Ok, I am not planning to try and become a professional or anything like that but I do like to try and take good pictures sometimes (if you have seen my flickr feed please stop laughing). The only issue with this is my digital camera. Bought second hand as a camera to take on holiday my Nikon D70 is not exactly up to date and real high quality. It doesn’t have a video mode or a black and white mode, the metering is usually slightly off, the auto focus is hit and miss and it occassionally just decides it won’t recognise memory cards unless you take them out and reinsert them half a dozen times, even if it has been recognising it fine for the last few hours. Both my own Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom phone and the iPhone they have given me at work produce images with a higher MP count and they both use technology 10 years ahead of the D70 so they can (if used carefully) surpass it in quality. What I really need is to upgrade if I am going to try and use the DSLR as my main camera, that is a big layout of cash though. Although I should point out I am talking about getting something like a D3200 or a second hand D5200 so we are talking about £350ish rather than the £1,500+ you can pay for a new DSLR.
So, what do I do? Stick with the ongoing costs of film or try and make the one big layout to improve my DSLR?

120 mm film and Hasselblad

August 6, 2014

As I lately wrote in one of my social networks I discovered a new lab in Hanoi which develops and sell as well 120mm film. They do have as well a limited range of antique and old analog film cameras. 35mm film and cameras as well. As good as the films are they sell I didn't know how there develop skills would be. I charged my Hasselblad 500 c/m with Ilford 3200 ISO film and get out even as it was a drizzling rainy late evening to take some low light exposures and see what they could come up with. 

light in the park

All in all they did a real decent job with developping. Scanning on the other hand is quite lousy and I'll have to do it in a better resolution again. especially as they already scanned in jpg. But hey they charge for developing and scanning just 40.000 Dong. That's a deal.

I will scan the negatives once more and will develop them afterwards either in Lightroom or in Photoshop which I already did with two - a quite different outcome. Its the first and the last image. All others scanned by the lab but for a quick reference more than enough.

Time to stretch and for me to push my trigger
