photo from week 50 - Voigtlander Bessa 1
This week's refelected self portrait was taken in the Tower of Steel at the Royal Armouries at Leeds. The light at the bottom of the tower was quite dim, and this was taken near full aperture (hence shallow depth of field) and with a shutter speed of 1 second, so even leaning against a pillar, I was unable to eliminate camera shake completely.

The continuing snow has reduced my range of possible subjects, this was taken in the car park at work, there is some definate camera shake evident.

Week 51 - Eljy (type 4)
This is a tiny little camera, made by Lumiere in France in the late 1940s. It uses a proprietary film format, taking 8 exposures on a roll of 30mm wide film.
The lens collapses into the body when not in use, and the viewfinder even has parallax correction for closer subjects. Although the shutter speeds range fro 1/10th to 1/200th of a second, they all seem to be the same now.
We'll soon see if there was any life left in the 60 year old film!

Lumipan film
I'm using this 60 year old film in this week's camera, it's quite possible there will be nothing on it!
