Mt Baker, I think?
Barbed wire.
Farmhouse, I believe in Langley, BC.
Blech!
The GW690 refused to fire.
Oof, was I glad I had my GFX50R as backup #photography gear.
My wife took the absolute 🔥 shot of the redwood and me, #Petzval #swirl included!

Portait of our friend Giulia. This portrait was made on some kind of Direct Positive Paper from Imago. A terrible product. It take more than 20 seconds to shot this portrait. I mean an exposition of 20 seconds at full aperture.

Put the "Petzval 80.5 f/1.9 MKII" lens on my Nons instant camera ... hit or miss on exposure for me in the sun, but worked in the lower light of the house!!!

It's quite hard to use, but I really enjoy my Lomo Petzval lens.

Petzval lens by unknown maker, mounted on aluminium en PLA.
I decided to adapt a 19th century Petzval to my mid-20th century Rittreck SLR.
While manufacturing a mount, it occurred to me how three different eras of manufacturing converge in a single lens mount.
(It will eventual mount onto a steel camera body.)

Added 4 more hours to the NGC 2244… so there 60 x 300 sec with the unmodified and uncooled Canon EOS R.
Can someone explain why the blue color is almost gone? 👀

Yesterday I did a few changes on my setup and just would try the new settings - Long story short - I’m impressed what you can get out of only 10 x 300 sec with an unmodified and uncooled Canon EOS R 😯

I saw this tunnel of xmas-lights on my commute, and luckily had my GFX50R and MMZ KO-140M in my backpack.
That lens is amazing. Dirt-cheap, even when brand-new old stock, #Petzval lens from the CCCP. Big glass with the swirl of swirls.
Test shot with cinema projector petzval lens.
When mounting it reversed it seems a little sharper? (Hard to say with manual focus.)
Its bokeh balls are dirty. Are they showing lens scratches?

a color outdoor photograph. a cement lawn sculpture sits on the grass on a sunny day. the sculpture shows a typical angel or cherub figure holding a glass or crystal sphere. the angel’s face and the sphere are in sharp focus. the rest of the photograph is defocused with a slight swirl pattern. there are no people, animals, or vehicles in this picture.
A color indoor photograph. a repeating series of dark bronze buddha heads line a wall. The closest buddha head is sharply focused, and each head behind it is progressively less focused, until the entire frame dissolves into glowing white and brown circles. There are no people, animals, or vehicles in this photograph.
I've really enjoyed the free Lensbaby webinar today. These are not "easy mode" products, but I can't get shots like these with anything else on the market.

Seagull roosting on a rocky cliff in a black and white photo.
A seagull resting on the rocky shore at Acadia National Park. Since this is 4x5, the bird is big enough on the negative to nearly fill the frame on 35mm. Shot with the 1850 Petzval lens on a Speed Graphic.

A lovely field of flowers in the middle of a giant redwood forest. Some of them made the trip back across California with me.

Just south of Ft. Bragg, we pulled over to get some pics of this beautiful sunset 5 hours into a 18 hour drive home. The sunset is reflected in a pond on the beach fed by a local spring. Pine trees line a ridge the drops into the ocean in the distance.
The #glow of a beautiful PCH sunset.
Well North of San Francisco, one of my favorite spots in the world.

19th century #Petzval lens of 300mm focal length by Charles Korn.
I like how the lens was able to resolve the Japanese script on the blade.

Not bad for manual focus. Maybe 2mm further would have been better, but this will do.
Sunflowers along the highway in Northern Italy. The sides of the shot are distorted from using a very old style lens
Happy #stunday ! Throwback to a wonderful drive to the absolutely stunning #CupraMontana we passed sunflowers for hours

testing out a 2nd 19th-century #petzval lens borrowed from @frontporcheditions.bsky.social
don't see label on the lens barrel, but assuming is ca. 1870… possibly French?
surprised w/ the muted quality of the bokeh (expected crazy swirl) and the relative sharpness of in-focus bits

A fence in Bon Echo Park campground, takend with my Lomography 55mm f/1.7 Petzval MK II lens this past weekend. #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Petzval
Got a pretend #Petzval from Ebay as the actual ones are a little pricey.
Not bad!

weather finally cooperated for some 4x5 shots outside. #Petzval is behaving like f/8, and shutter is most consistent at ≈1/15s, so I shot @ilfordphoto.com #FP4 at ISO 50 and it worked well
the shutter activation button shorted at one point giving an unexpected double exposure
