This is a black-and-white photograph depicting a man standing outdoors in a park-like setting. He is dressed in formal attire, wearing a dark suit with a tie and dress shoes. The man is holding a small, vintage-style camera and appears to be aiming it at something off-camera, suggesting he is taking a photograph. The background shows a large tree trunk and several other trees, indicating a natural environment. The ground is covered with grass, and there is a paved path to the left side of the image. The overall tone of the image suggests it is from an earlier time period, possibly the early to mid-20th century.

Got my folder week roll back from the lab, and thought I'd start with this image before we get too far from spooky season.

As an aside; there is a blemish on this image that is also visible on the negative. I see this occasionally when I have the lab process my film and I assume it's a defect from their process?

Redscale image of a backlit plastic skeleton hanging in front of accordion blinded window. A visible water drop looking blemish is near the center of the image that I suspect is a lab defect.

Having a look at my first roll of Phoenix II and I'm a bit unsure how I feel. It does look like they've tamed it a bit while still keeping that Phoenix-ey look. It also seems a little bit more forgiving than the original Phoenix.

The beer is a Czech Pilsner called "Crazy Horse" from (and at) Lazarus Brewing.

From another roll of film I got back today. This was taken with a #Voigtländer Bessa folding camera.
The previous batch I took with this had a lot of poorly focussed shots, so I was worried that something was up with the camera. These mostly came out pretty well, so I guess the previous issues were just user error, which is a relief. It's a very nice little camera.
There's no real viewfinder, you just have to guesstimate the distance and adjust accordingly. Also it's in metric and maybe since I've lived my whole life in the US I'm just not as good at guessing meters as feet.

#WavyWednesday made it to my timeline today, and an image I made over the summer came to mind.

The layered pattern of the walls of a 3d printed concrete structure caught my eye so I got close using a little Agfa Isolette II folding camera and Illford HP5.

A beautiful clear day allowed me to get out and try and adjust the rangefinder of this camera's rangefinder.

The top cover was simple to remove exposing the rangefinder adjustment screw.
Turning the focus to infinity and pointing the range finder at a distant object I was able to turn the adjustment screw until the images aligned.

Now to put another test roll through it to see if the focus matches.

The rangefinder mechanism is fully visible.Terrible phone photo through the rangefinder with it set to infinity and looking at a large sycamore tree in the distance. You can see (hopefully) how the images in the focusing circle do not align.A terrible phone photo looking through the Mamiya rangefinder focused at infinity on a sycamore tree in the distance. The camera's cover is still removed. The range finder has been adjusted and you can see (hopefully) that the image in the focusing circle aligns.
