This time lapse video I found on vimeo dot com where I have an account. Guess a few of you have noticed it already, through a dpreview notice recently. For those of you who haven't seen these fantastic images from the ISS, enjoy! Well worthy of your time, I'd like to believe.
I believe the link to be working, - click underneath the frame) even if says 'error'.

Allan Hoffman is a technology columnist and author of the book "Create Great iPhone Photos". He has written articles for newspapers and magazines like: New York Times, The San Diego Tribune, Newsday, Rutgers Magazine,Wired News, and many more. http://connect.dpreview.com/post/1040822089/smartcamera-future-for-apple . . . I myself wouldn't mind seeing a number of photo-related 'apps' introduced into 'regular' cameras. What do you think?

ELLSWORTH's INTRODUCTION TO POLAR EXPLORATION
Together with the dawn of aerial exploration in the polar regions came a proliferation of expeditions and sojourns, many of which became "firsts" for this new method of discovery. Ellsworth's initial exposure to polar adventures began on May 21, 1925, when he, Roald Amundsen and four other men set out in two Dornier flying boats, the N-24 and N-25, on a mission to be the first to fly to the North Pole.
PREPARATIONS (1933)
Hubert Wilkins was dispatched to Norway to purchase a strong wooden fishing vessel which would be used as the expedition ship. A 400-ton herring vessel, named the FANEFJORD, was subsequently purchased, refitted and renamed the WYATT EARP, after the famous frontier marshal whom Ellsworth admired.
Ellsworth's plane, named the POLAR STAR, was built by the Northrop Corporation of Inglewood, CA. The all-metal, low-winged monoplane was propelled by a 600 hp Wasp engine which gave her a top speed of 230 miles per hour. The plane was equipped with wing flaps which reduced landing speed to 42 mph. With a full load of gas she had a range of 7000 miles. http://www.south-pole.com/p0000110.htm . . . . more photos & text to follow.

A guy living in the mountainous fjordland of western Norway, Arild Solberg, has been photographing (still camera) since his early teens. Also being both interested and schooled in programming, he developed a photo program that enables 360º panoramic view, combined with a 10x zoom function, all in high-def from a multitude of single frames, resulting in multi-pixel files that requires down-scaling before uploading to the web, viewable at your computer screen, your iPhone or iPad. Most of his 'panos' are taken from a chosen (singular) standing point, but he has also rented state of the art helicopters with a gyro enabled (and steadied) camera platform. And the results . . . ?

This old FD135 is an ebay purchase a few days back. The slowest of the FD 135, a focal length that Canon produced several of in the seventies, listed in Canons Camera Museum/Camera Hall/Lenses/FD as follow: FD135 f/2.5 [03/71], FD135 f/2.5 S.C. [07/73], FD135 f/3.5 [07/70], FD135 f/3.5 S.C. (I) [03/73], FD135 f/3.5 S.C. (II) [11/76). http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/lens/fd/100-800.html I'm not hundred percent sure which one I got hold of, - it seems weighing it may give an answer to that. From googling photos of FD 135 f/3.5 I'm still unsure, as my buy has a 'chrome (or 'silver') nose', the 'old' type (chrome or silver) "breech-lock", but no "SC" designation on front of the lens. My best (informed) guess for the moment: FD135 f/3.5 S.C. (I). Lens Specifications: Production: Japan, 03/1973 Original price: ¥ 22.900 Elements . groups: 4 elem. - 3 groups Diaphragm: 8 blades Min/max aperture: f22 - f3.5 Min. focal dist. 1.5m Filter: 55mm Weight: 465g Screendump from a Canon FD blogCanon FD135 f/3.5 S.C.

Carl Zeiss Planar 1.7/50 T＊ (C/Y mount) Sample Images I promised a few days back to add my CZ Planar 1.7/50 T＊ to the Adapted Lens Indexed Archive with a couple of frames. To ones under here was shot today, with the said lens mounted on an Oly E-M5. I'm using a German NOVOFLEX adapter, - somewhat expensive, but very good quality [as is, most often, with anything German, :-)] The two on top here (the fan and the Marlboro box) were with the aperture fully opened, - camera resting on sturdy support, - not tripod, though. All with ISO400. Click on photos for more EXIF info. I'll add some 'Lens facts & info in a day or two, - as well as a few more samples). (One of) My (Many) Bad Habits  A SE-Asian Necessity

"If you've been in an airport, coffee shop, library or hotel recently, chances are you've been right in the middle of a wireless network. Many people also use wireless networking, also called WiFi or 802.11 networking, to connect their computers at home, and some cities (N.Y. and more) are trying to use the technology to provide free or low-cost Internet access to residents. In the near future, wireless networking may become so widespread that you can access the Internet just about anywhere at any time, without using wires".
Great, - why then not wi-fi equip mirror-less cameras so it can connect with my smart phone or tablet. Both having far larger screens, and thus I would be able to transfer the cameras live LCD screen, - or even the EVF info onto that of the phone/tablet (or any wi-fi equipped computer). Imagine what it would do to (manual) focusing adaptive lenses on your mft camera.
Is it done already? If not, why not? Seems to me to be common everyday tech creatively applied, - or?

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18mmF2 R Super EBC ASPH. (For the Non-Native Lens Archive): Fujifilm's Finepix X-E1 was given me as a (somewhat early) birthday gift. Just now I've only got the Fujinon AF 18mm f/2 R ASPH., but hope to get a couple more lenses in a not too long time (first and foremost the 35/1.4. Have just exposed a few frames, and really cannot tell much about neither camera nor lens, other than so far I'm happy about how both 'feels'. I'm reading in various reviews that the lens is 'good', but not 'excellent'. It said to deliver excellent sharpness in the center when stopped down a bit, but looses at sharpness near edges, and is is susceptible to flare and with some CA (cromatic abberation, fringing). It is beautifully built, all metal, lightweight and with a traditional design, - and "Made in Nippon", - which makes me joyful. :-) (I need a few weeks with the FinePix X-E1 'in hand' before I can elaborate on that machine, but it sure both looks and feel fine) Men is the 'Silver' version, - and it was bundled with the Leica M adapter.  1/50 - f/4.0 - ISO800 - handheld - OOC [For further EXIF: Please click on photo].  1/38 - f/4.0 - ISO1600 - handheld - Lightly edited [For further EXIF: Please click on photo].

I still own a few lenses from back in 'analog times'; a few being of the 'Made in Japan' Carl Zeiss brand, with a Contax/Yasicha (C/Y) mount. With the help of an adapter these older lenses work just fine with modern, digital cameras, all of them with sensors quite a bit smaller than the full frame (36x24mm) 135-film they were originally made for. With no electronic connection between lens and camera, both aperture (f-number) adjustment, as well as focusing, have to be done manually. Carl Zeiss Tessar T✶ 2.8/45 (Contax AEJ) pancake. Exceptional sharpness in the classic Tessar 4-element design. Said to be "The sharpest pancake lens ever made". (Note: Lens were made in both 'black' and 'silver' version). Lens Composition 4 elements, 3 groups Angular Field 50 degrees Minimum Focus 0.6m (2 ft) F stop scale f2.8-4-5.6-8-11-16-22 Filter 46mm Filter connection Screw-in type, 55mm screw in type (with 49/55 ring) Lens Hood No 4 metal hood (with 49/55 ring+55/86 ring), screw-in type Weight 90 grams (3.2 oz) Lens Size 60x 18mm (2-3/8 x 11/16 in) Lens Cap 49mm K-41, snap type The below snaps were taken with the use of a C/Y mounted Carl Zeiss Tessar T✶ f2.8/45 pancake design, with the aid of a German built NOVOFLEX adapter. Even with the adapter connected, the lens 'set up' is rather smallish in size and weighs less than 110 grams. Click on the photos for further info. NB! Do notice that the CZ Tessar T✶ f2.8/45 lens should not be confused with the CZ 45mm G lens!    If you own photos taken with the CZ Tessar T✶ 2.8/45 pancake design, - please add to the photo gallery here.

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 is (often) sold as kit with this lens, the M.Zuiko Digital 12-50mm/f3.5-6.3 EZ ED [MSC]. My (subjective) judging of the lens, - after shooting about 40 photos) as follows: Build: Plastic housing, quite lightweight, good size for an μFT system camera. Not very sharp, but neither 'blurry', - I've seen (owned and used) 'kit lenses' from different other brands that has been (far) inferior to this one. It renders good, not vignetting much, and has a pleasant bokeh (to my personal liking). It's well worthy to mention that the lens is 'weather sealed' to the same class as is the E-M5 camera house, - as the first one from Olympus (or any other MicroFourThirds participant). I would recommend the lens as being a good 'travel lens' when you chose to travel light. Photos in this tread, mine as well as what most certainly will show up from other E-P1 dot net member, - nt to mention all excamples that tou can find on the web (e.g. flickr dot com) is your best advisor.

Did some 'cleaning-up' in 'old gear (from film days) a couple of days ago, and 'found' this Tamron SP 70-210/f3.5-4.0 CF Tele Macro that I used on Contax and Yasicha SLR's I owned in the early seventies. I remember the tele-macro to be a super tele zoom & portrait lens (in 'those days' I parented a couple of young ladies of 'kindergarden age' that were willing photo models, - and the results are still in a couple of Kodak Carousels, enjoying both family members and the two ladies in question from time to time) with the 135 film system, and already owning a proper C/Y adapter (Novoflex) I've decided to give the glass a 'new life' on my PENs & Pana Lumix GF1. Mounted on the E-P1/2 the lens is not too heavy, neither not too long. (All photos shown here are with the built-in lens hood at max operational setting). With a proper tripod manual focusing is 'no problem', - handheld is, of course a different story, but with some training not a big issue. IQ on mFT seems more than adequate to my eye, the lens is contrasty and renders colors pretty nice. I notice that it sells for 50-80 US funds on ebay. If you like MF glass the SP line from Tamron is recommendable, - and can be (in most cases, - with a few exceptions, due to availability, purchased for very reasonable prices, - most of all due to the vast amount of lenses that Tamron provided for the 135 market in the sixties and seventies. I'll try to shot a couple of photos in a few days time with this lens. Anyone, please add your photos to the gallery if you happen to own this lens! A couple of examples: PEN E-P2 & Tamron SP 70-210/f3.5-4.0 CF Tele Macro @ 1/125 - f.4.0 - ISO100 - MF - Tripod PEN E-P2 & Tamron SP 70-210/f3.5-4.0 CF Tele Macro @ 1/160 - f.8.0 - ISO100 - A-pri - MF - Tripod

As you all know, Nikon is just about putting their brand new D800 into the market place, . and different marketing & promotion activities are being commenced. For example, Nikon Thailand, through an subsidiary marketing agency, is promoting the D800 by the help of some spectacular photos by the norwegian photographer and time lapse video producer Terje Sørgjerd. On http://e-p1 dot net a couple of mr. Sørgjerd's time lapse videos has been previously posted . So what's the 'facepalm' here? Well, for Nikon, about anything and everything. First of all, the thai agency never asked mr. Sørgjerd for his services, - just plainly 'stole' his photos from the web. Second, - and dare I say more seriously, - and surely got the attention of the Nikon HQ-guys in Tokio, when Terje Sørgjerd made a call: Alll of mr. Sørgjerds photos and videos are made with Canon products, - EOS cameras and EF lenses! Mr. Sørgaard is a long standing Canon products user, and Canon is one of his sponsors for many, if not all, of his projects. Furthering the story, Mr. Sørgaard tells that 'an agreement has been reached' between Nikon and him, - where Nikon now will pay double the normal fee for commercially using his material. For the time being, Mr. Sørgaard is in Australia making a time lapse video of the Milky Way. He has sold his Oslo, Norway apartment, his car and other belongings, spending two years 'on the road' producing a blue-ray disc containing photos and time laps videos from places he has visited the last few years, and are now revisiting for this purpose. The production is planned being marketed sometime next year. Here's a link the Nikon advertisement: http://www.dagbladet.no/2012/03/03/nyheter/kamera/nikon/canon/tabbe/20515443/ "The Water"

I'm somewhat 'sittin' on the fence' when it comes to which one to get, the Oly OM-D E-M5 beauty (in 'silver'?), or the 'black&beautiful' Fujifilm X-Pro1? Both without much doubt very competent & modern photo devices. First of all, there's the significant price difference of plus 50% in advantage to the E-M5. Besides, the X-Pro1 is very proprietary in that the camera has a X-mount (it has been said Fuji will make an 'Leica m42 mount > Fuji X-mount' adapter), whereas the Micro Four Thirds mount can take almost any brand of legacy glass. Another clear E-M5 advantage: It's fitted with a very advanced in-house, five-axis sensor-shift image stabilization system, - whereas the Fujifilm X-Pro1 has no stabilization system at all, neither in-house, or in the three lenses we at this time know about (18mm, 35mm & 60mm macro). On top of this: The E-M5 boasts the 'the worlds fastest auto focus'. Except for a few, all of them promising, 'real life' test shots, none of us have seen, or is able to verify IQ from the kind of motifs that we, as individual shooters, plan to use the camera on. Neither the E-M5, nor the X-Pro1. What, by now, is easy to agree on: We all look forward to see this two photo machines in the market place, - and to put our eyes, and hands, on the real thing, in change of all the amazing and awesome advertising photos and videos we all have seen. http://snapsort.com/compare/Fujifilm-X-Pro1-vs-Olympus-E-M5 What do you think? Oly or Fuji?

My guess is that some E-P3 owners would like to know about the grip, and where to get it. The grip comes in black, as well as in white. Price: US$ 20,- Here's a link to where it can be purchased: http://www.adorama.com/IOMMCG2BK.html

David Beckham was observed being eagerly shooting his FinePix X100 at a catwalk show held by his wife, Victoria, in LA, just recently. I would thin the Leica machine was the preferred photographic tool for mr. Beckham. Shows the man being either broke, - or very smart? :-)

Quite often 'b+w' photos has an added toning to it. I would like other members here share their thoughts, ideas and photos on this matter. I'll start off myself with what I 'term' a 'creamtone' b+w photo, - this one a kind of 'street shot', - even if its not from a street, - rather from the waste areas that customers can move around, inside a modern shopping mall. In other words: As public as any street. Here we go:  Leica D-Lux5 @ 7.5mm [28mm] - 1/30 - f2.3 - ISO200 Any camera/lens is OK in this thread.

Found out about this one recently. Made by a norwegian company, FXI Technology, but, as far as I know, haven't hit the market place as of yet (2012?) Is this gadget of any interest?, - could anyone with (a lot) more computer&data savvy than me, please tell what's this all about? Price tag said to be ca. US$ 200 for this little thingy, an USB memory-stick named "CottonCandy" w/ an ARM Cortex 2-cored central processor w/Android operative system & 1GB int.memory. If understood correctly: all one needs is a screen of some sort, that being a PC, a Mac or a TV (smart type TV, of any size). What about you, adash, (or anyone, of course), - is this of interest to photographers? (Or is that's like asking if computers are of any interest to photogs in the digital age?). http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/17/fxis-cotton-candy-could-turn-every-screen-you-own-into-a-cloud/

My μFT gear all assembled, - with garden flowers and all :-), in honor of all enthusiasts at this site. As you see, there's an Oly XZ-1 that doesn't belong, but when asking her two PEN sisters and the Pana nephew to be allowed to be in the pic, :-), was given an OK to come along, (as she's so cute in her white dress, I guess?).  Camera/lens for the photo: Canon EOS 7D & EF 50mm/1.8 @ 1/3´- f.5.6 - +1/3 - MF - A-pri - AE - ISO200Thanks for looking in! :-) PS: If you're in doubt about the blue&white jar, - well, that's where my change-coins and smaller baht-notes go, - as I'm planning to get the "Pro version "RF-look-alike" of Pana (or Oly?), with a button or two more than the new GX1, - not to talk abt. an internal VF, - more or less of the type that the NEX 77 managed!. The CHANG LEK (small elephant) is standing guard!

I've lived in Pattaya for quite some time now, but only rarely seen traffic as congested as to-day. The reason for this is the flooding in the capitol and it's surrounding areas. People from Bangkok have for the last few days been fleeing the water floodings, and whole households have rented hotel rooms, apartments and any kind of 'rooms for rent', awaiting the situation to normalize. Restaurants, shopping malls, - and as you see, streets, are just full of cars&trucks of all kinds, as well as moto-sais, - and pedestrians. A drive that normally takes a mere fifteen minutes, to-day took us almost an hour and a half!
