Betoverend

Geen paddenstoel is hetzelfde. Verschillend van kleur, vorm en karakter. Met onzichtbare netwerken van schimmeldraden.

Misschien lijken we meer op paddenstoelen dan we denken. Allemaal anders, maar op zoveel manieren met elkaar verbonden.

Ook als we dat soms vergeten.

Phantom of the Opera Nebula(Sh2-173) is a HII emission region in Cassiopeia ionized by massive stars inside the local molecular cloud and is considered to be a star forming region.(per Wiki). A spooky post for Halloween.

I love old Nikon manual glass and Kodak Ektar lenses
I also regret not buying the lomo Petzval lens for F mount because I love optical artifacts
Slides are from 2 rolls of E100 shot with a Retina III f2 Ektar

Throwback Thursday - From a shoot I did in Texas, spring of 2021. I shot this using a 85mm prime Petzval lens, which created that beautiful swirled bokeh.

Star Camera Co. Sliding Box Camera, Darlot 6.5” Petzval, 5x7 paper neg

Hand off camera triggering flash.

This is with the lone Waterhouse stop which I re-calculated here as f8 but that might still be wrong. I like the lens stopped down.

It’s a rad lens, the oldest I’ve ever shot with (1870s-80s), and also the first petzval I’ve tried. The gg is ~8x8 and I was also previously trying to force big full frame square images out of it; but I think I’ve gotta stick with the max of 5x7 that the gg is actually marked for, like this.

A haunting descent into the ruins. The unmistakable atmosphere of 1910s orthochromatic film brings a distinct romantic dread to this Gothic mystery.

Shadows of the Cloister
A sturdy poet holds a sputtering lantern amidst the towering gothic ruins of a collapsed abbey. Shot on orthochromatic black-and-white film stock, his ruddy complexion renders hauntingly dark. The swirling optical distortion of an uncoated Petzval lens, heavy grain, and pronounced halation around the lantern create an authentic 1910s cinematic atmosphere.

California Nebula(NGC 1499) is a large emission nebula lit up by the bright star Xi Persei. It is a faint nebula about 5x the width of a full moon so I used my widest field scope to image it.

Concentration and attention span
Slowly beginning to improve
Long enough to start messing
Around again with Petzval lenses
To create different effects
Hopefully, autumn colours and
Textures will stimulate me
Enough to do more with these lenses

Looking into the constellation Lacerta for 5 hrs and you end up with quite the star field. I just find this amazing. This is through the local Milky Way disk and into the outer arm regions, Wow! There are are over 200,000 stars in this one image.

Finally had a chance to take the Petzval lens I picked up a few weeks ago out today. Have a couple left to develop tomorrow but pretty happy with these- and that I am not entirely out of focus in the self portrait
