As seen in the article “Digital to Analog, and Back” on Luminous Landscape, more people then me make use of the old ways ;) After reading my previous post “5 reasons I love manual lenses”, martin on YashicaForum.com gave the link to Stefan Heijdendael’s article from 2004. Thanks for the tip, martin!

A linktip today, I have a wrynecktorticollis (is that the english word?) so no photographing this friday.

Check out Robs blog. He’s a frequent poster on MFlenses.com and ManualFocusForum.

As you might notice Rob has some images form a church there. I love churches eventhough I’m an atheist. I specially like cistercian abbeys, they way they built for the light. One of my favorite books are “Cistercian Abbeys: History and architecture” by Jean-Francois Leroux-Dhuys and Photographs By Henri Gaud, great photographs in there.

While I feel inspired, here’s a perfomence made by the Tallis Scholars. Last year I bought their christmas recording, time to take it out from the shelf again :)

Do you remember the project I wrote about – Something new from DIYPhotography? You swap gear temporarily with a photobuddy. It’s ten days left on the deadline. If you live in the city, I think you should give it a try. Here are some ideas on how to do it.

I’m trying myself, but we’ll see if I make it in time. I need to go on a photowalk with Susanne (if she want’s to? :) ), shoot a roll of film, develop it, write about it…

Something New

If you missed this: Life magazine has published there photos on the web.

Se a Carl Zeiss Planar 85mm/1.4 ZE over at forum.mflenses.com. User LucisPictor has got his hands on one of these lenses and I guess he will post more intreseting things about it :)

Took som pictures in the woods with Yashica ML 50mm/2 about a week ago. Here is a BW-conversion. More can bee seen on YashicaForum.com

Did you think your 126-camera was obsolete? Well, you can buy the stuff at Frugal Photographer. They also give ideas on where to process. Or even load the 126-film cartridge with 35mm film.

Some interesting reading on the film Kodachrome.
