New Photos, Old cameras

The photographs below have been taken using the old Fed3 rangemaster and a 1980 praktica EE2 both had fixed 50mm lenses on them. there is some light damage to some of the fed3 shots but i think it adds to it.

See the rest on my Flickr pages (see the link to the right).

My new, err...old kit!

Recently decided it was time to go back to basics. so i am now the proud owner of a Fed3 35mm rangemaster. It looks almost identical to a Leica rangemaster but its a 10th of the price! It was made in Russia as a camera for use by the russian army. As its a fully mechanical device to get the best results from it you need a light meter, i thought as its a 1950's - 60's camera i'll get a similar age light meter as this would have been the sort of meter used to help set the camera when it was current.
I'm shooting with Kodak black and white @ ISO400 and as soon as i have something from it i'll post them up.

Recent studio work

The photographs below are of a friend of mine with a wicked sense of humour and great character.

i had no idea what i was going to ask him to do, so i sat him in a chair and we passed him stuff! these were the results.

Norfolk trip

During a 4 day break in Horning, Norfolk after the bank holiday i was able to get out and about with my camera.
whether it was 5am in Cromer on the beach or 1am in Horning at the marina.

Below are a few samples, theres more to see on my flickr gallery (link on the right).
