Love both of these! The tree is beautiful. I think a big print of would sell.
The other on is a lovely, relaxed, informal photo, beautifully rendered. cheers, frank "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof." -- Christopher Hitchens --- Original Message --- From: Godfrey DiGiorgi <[email protected]> Sent: September 25, 2012 9/25/12 To: SeePhoto Talk <[email protected]>, "PAW Picture-A-Week project" <[email protected]>, BAPhotoShooters BAPA <[email protected]>, PDML List <[email protected]> Subject: PESO 2012 - Balda photos - GDG I've been itching to take the old Balda (1955ish Baldix 6x6 folder) for a walk since it arrived, finally had a chance to do so over the weekend. I loaded it with Fuji Acros 100 for testing. I made a loading mistake this first time which cost me one frame out of the twelve. I know what I did wrong so I'll not do that one again. Otherwise, the camera performed very nicely other than for opening it. The lens standard mechanism is sticky and I think there's something bent or slightly out of alignment in it. It opens and snaps into place properly, eventually, but it takes a lot of careful fussing to make that happen. I'll bring it by the camera repair shop and see what Fred can do to massage it. Otherwise, the lens seems good, the shutter seems pretty accurate and the images have that lovely vintage look to them ... I felt good about posting a couple: #2: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gdgphoto/8019828444/lightbox #6: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gdgphoto/8019827304/lightbox It's a lot of fun to let go of all the bits and bytes with a camera like this. And I still love the look of 6x6 photographs. Thanks for looking! Comments are always appreciated.
