Another new venture for MK1 Photography

I write to you on here like a friend that I discuss things with. I have been investigating trying out analogue film photography again, I stared with Olympus way back when I was 11 years old with a superb little point and shoot camera the Olympus Trip 35.

So with that memory firmly coming back into focus I have bought from eBay another camera it is an Olympus 35 RD Range finder circa 1975 I believe. I have yet to run a film through it but have bought from an online store a 24 exposure Kodak TriX 400.

Very soon I will plan to do one roll of film per month development on line and I will "scan" the negatives with my Olympus Em1x and 60mm Macro taking a photograph of each one.

I plan to record on images I take with the camera by recording my exposure as my phone has a lightmeter app on it. I will record this data and take a photo with my camera for viewers on here to enjoy. Below is a phone shot of the new addition

Merry Christmas everyone ⛄ 🎁☃️🌲❄️

Fuji X100V Daily Photos

Fuji X100V Daily So I decided to build a blog about daily photos with my beautiful Fuji X100V I have been a Fuji X photographer for over 10 years and especially the X100. The fixed lens really helps with creativity This image was shot underneath my car port The top light really helped with the shadows I have found walking out and about with my camera a mindful experience, it helps you balance with nature and slow down in this difficult world. The leaves above seem to show sadness at the change of the seasons resting peacefully on a fallen tree Exposure wise for those that are photographers 1/30 sec shutter speed f 3.6 ISO 500, it’s easy to handhold the X100V for a shot like this. I suppose some would ask why not use a phone for these shots? I understand this but being a photographer you need to use a camera!

Down to the park

Back to Hughenden park... A little picture heavy today but the sun was out and Hughenden park looked fabulous Indi loves being out down there her tail was wagging quite a lot It was a bit of struggle to get Indi into my car which is a Toyota IQ a great small runabout but not ideal GSD transport!

My bird and wildlife camera

I have kept with Olympus and now have an E-M1X an absolute beast in the M4:3 world. It came out in 2019 and was sold for a number of years, it been superceded by the OM1 Mkii but I still believe this is the king of the genre. Of course it's very large in this sensor world but very small compared to the likes of Canon or Nikon with a battery grip built in. I shoot macro and wildlife and of course my family. This camera performed so well in all these types of photography, below are firstly my latest examples of bird photography at which the cameras built in AI tracked the heron.
