Thirtysix hat and camera combinations from 2015

photo from week 313 - Zeiss Ikon Contarex "Bullseye"

This one was taken in the unrestored area of Sheffield's iconic brutalist materpiece, Park Hill flats. I included the sprocket holes in the scan, as they seemed to suit the grid-like subject.

Another indoor available light photo, I think I was able to use f4 for this one, but the depth of field is still shallow.

Technically this is not a great shot, but it means a lot to me. This is my grandson Eric, who was born six days after my father died. The photo was taken on Christmas eve, using Eric's late great-grandfather's favourite camera, a Zeiss Ikon Contarex "Bullseye".
It was taken at full aperture and a shutter speed of 1/30th second, with a close range moving target, it's not surprising the focus is a bit off!

Week 313 - Zeiss Ikon Contarex "Bullseye"

This is rather a special camera to me, it belonged to my father who died in October, this was one of his favourite cameras. It's a very heavy, but precision made camera, and was the first of the Contarex series of SLRs made from the late 1950s. I've loaded it with HP5 Plus, ISO400 black and white negative film.

Another favourite subject, this time the weather was brighter, and I was able to stop down to around f11.

Another shot at full aperture and 1/25th second, to cope with the indoor lighting. The film is expired Fuji NPC160.
