Promised pics from my Fed3b

Many months ago I wrote about my new old camera and promised to publish pics from it as soon as I manage to scan them. It happened. But I was disappointed. The quality was not as good as I was expecting, maybe because of the scanner or probably the camera's lens (Industar-61) are not so sharp and in condition. The noise was not so pleasing and quite remarkable for the FP4, I needed to adjust the levels as the scans were quite gray and flat.

This was the first roll of negative I've ever shot, with no exposure meter and with an old camera. Perhaps the quality is not what I expected, but as time passes and the more often I think about the pics... maybe I'll give it one more chance :) So here are the pics:

Saveing images from Lightbox

Another hack how to save images from web pages that try to implement some protection,
this time Lightbox.

• Disable javascript support in your browser, after clicking the image is displayed.

After experimenting, you'll find many other ways how to save images. You can also save images from Lightbox list too (slide shows).

Street & Documentary

5.6.2009, Friday, a day before elections to the European Parliament.

Members of the half military, nationalist Magyar Garda group from Hungary. But the most sad is they have been supported by ~14% of the population (as Jobbik) :S

Bored rainy weekend

There's still lot to do even if it's raining outside, but was not my case. Job is not an option, no friends close, can't go out... too much pretension. I made few pics, so here they come. The first one is a flower, orchid (available light, hand hold, iso100, 1/60@f4, fine tuned in LR):

The second pic was made from my window, it is a blend of two pics made from the same place but with different focus distance, it was not a planned shot and certainly not planned the blending, otherwise I would use tripod and mind the composition, roses and rain:

Paris - day 4

The last day, after breakfast packed our luggage and went to see Notre Dame again, was not inside, just sitting around in the parks. Then moved to the Eiffel Tower, don't know why, just to see it again and we saw there a restaurant with quite acceptable prices and snails. We tried them, they were quite good. It was time to go home... :)

Certainly will come back one time to Paris, but in spring or autumn...
