photo from week 234 - Samsung Vega 140s

The Vega has a time-lapse facility, allowing you to set intervals ranging from 10 seconds to one hour. I placed the camera on a windowsill and set the timer to one hour, then left it for 30 hours starting on the afternoon of 20th June. The slowest shutter speed is 1/15th second, so unfortunately there is nothing to see on the night photos.

Week 234 - Samsung Vega 140s

The Vega 140s is one of many mid-range consumer automatic point-and-shoot zooms from the 1990s. This one has a time-lapse function, and rather unusually, a "B" setting. I'll be taking with me on a trip to Venice, and aim to try out the time lapse function on the longest day, 21st June.

The turret finder is essential when using a lens other than the standard 50mm. This is the Jupiter 135mm.

Henderson's Relish is an iconic Sheffield brand. This factory is now disused as they have relocated to new premises.

I used three different lenses on the FED, this one is the Jupiter-12 35mm f2.8

Week 233 - Fed 4

 
The FED-4 was made between 1964 and 1980, and like the FED-3 was a move away from the blatant copies of the Leica range that began the FED range. Like the Leica it has a 39mm screw lens mount, and the most common standard lens is the 52mm f2.8 Industar. I also have a 35mm and 135mm lens and the turret viewfinder which caters for 5 different focal lengths.

This window is of great significance in the history of photography, it was the subject of the world's first photographic negative made by Fox Talbot at Lacock Abbey in 1835. I've left this one as a negative image, as this is how it was seen by Fox Talbot.
