CS #667 - Square Format

[warth man]

I spent a bit of time trying to photograph swallows and butterflies in flight while I was cooling off after mowing grass today . I got no usable swallow pics (aren't they fast?) and only a couple of semi-reasonable butterfly pics (them too). Here they are, together with one near-silhouette of feeding peacocks.

I like the silhouette shot on the last one. Great DoF too!

Again, lots of character in these. I had no idea they still made the film packs for these cameras.

Something different we commonly see here.

Kind regards

Well done Chris. It was worth the wait. The more I look, the more I see.

Thanks y'all!

Looks like a quiet town Chris. Are you about to have eggs thrown at you?

I hope they checked what might have been hiding in it first! Not so many of these now - thankfully.

You'll have to educate me Panther - what's a OneStep 2?

I'm not Panther, but it's a really cool update of the old Polaroid 600 instant camera. Unlike the older 600 film, the Onestep film (now called i600 film) doesn't have a battery in the film pack (hence it's cheaper than the regular 600 film.) The battery is now in the camera, and you recharge it with a usb phone charger. Remember the Impossible Project - a group of entrepreneurs that bought the Polaroid name and production line a few years back? Well they are a company now, that makes and sells these cameras and films, under the name Polaroid Originals.

Trying out the 85 f1.4 on my Z6. I love mums. View attachment 1644564

I'll try to use this lens on the Z more often. Have done so already, but as I normally use the 85/1.4D for moving 'targets', I'm sort of... way too slow mf-ing it.

You're right Roland. Best of them all in my opinion.

Thank you. I was posting 'everyday shots' and by no mean artistic statements. This CS just makes my trying to think square when framing (some cameras can actually show 1:1 in the finder, but not the D750).
