The 1946 Kershaw Eight-20 Penguin Folding Camera – 100mm f11 on 3D Printed M42

When I discovered the Vintageglass shop on eBay and saw this lens, I immediately became very excited. I have always loved using old M42 on my digital camera via an adapter. But the idea of being able to photograph with a lens from an old bellows camera from the 1900s, how amazing would that be

DIY Camera Hook Protectors and Carrying Straps

No sharpness tests, pixel counting or other technical mumbo jumbo, just everyday pictures with the intention of showing the view angle, color pattern and character, and my thoughts of the lens. A lens review as I did when I first started with OSP,except for a few extra words about the camera used and the special

PictureFX Superia Sakura v.II

It’s been a while since I’ve created a new Lut, and to be honest my interest in new Luts had faded a bit too. I started making them all primarily for myself, for use in RawTherapee, and with Darktable also used as an editor, and making videos in ShotCut, 3DLut’s or Cube files also have

Back to Normal

Well, the last two years have been a real rollercoaster.We were stuck with Covid 19 for two years.And to be honest, we’re still far from getting rid of Covid I think.Also striking for me was the more obvious presence of the climate changes, something we urgently need to do something about.And then suddenly there was

New Recipe Update – X-Trans III – Kodak GT 800-5 – Fuji X Weekly

The concept of a camera to which you can apply a certain recipe is amazing,the original Fujifilm recipes such as Provia, Velvia etc. are certainly one of the reasons why Fujifilm cameras have become so popular.But, even with the many possibilities that the latest Fujifilm cameras have, creating a film effect remains limited – or

Reblog from Fuji X Weekly : Fujifilm X-Trans I (X-Pro1 + X-E1) Film Simulation Recipe: Kodachrome II

Hey,I had to reblog this article.It concerns a Recipe, more specifically a Recipe for X-Trans I.The range of Recipes for Fujifilm cameras is huge, but always more for the newer sensors, and owners of older Fujifilm cameras are usually left out in the cold.That’s why I’m doing this reblog here, because Ritchie Roesch is already

BlueBells

Sunday today, after a long period of time and mostly at home except for work, we went outside for a walk, to a place not far from our home where bluebells grow in the forest. Hyacinthoides non-scripta, in Belgium we say “forest hyacinths” or “boshyacinten” in Dutch.This tiny flower has the well-known reputation of luring
