The latest pictures in my Photostream will look a lot like my first, since I'm currently searching through my archives for old pictures I probaply would have uploaded back in the day, had Flickr not had a tight upload limit back then.
It's nice to go through old memories and finally share some of the pictures here.
They're all jpeg out of a Sony α300, my first proper camera that I used for 12 Years (!) and never failed on me (works to this day), and ever so slightly retouched with Capture One if at all.

Here goes my attempt on developing Kodachrome in color in 2019. It's far cry from what it should finally look, but I'm still happy with the results - for sure there are colors in there. It has been my dream for a long time to develop this in color and after many trials and researches I have finally come to the point when I'm pretty happy with the results.
The whole process takes about one hour, re-exposures need to be done in complete darkness.
Completing chemistry was the tricky part - especially couplers.
Big thanks to Kelly-Shane Fuller who did this first and shared which couplers to use.
Formulas are my ideas created basing on Kodak patents, and other formulas found in books.

Yeah, there aren't those nice, bright colors, there are no greens of the summer and it doesn't really make you think the whole world is a sunny day, but hey... everyone keeps saying it's impossible to develop and here we go - done in extremely amateur environment. That was helluva ride!
...lunch box chillin' in the sink? I dunno.
An impending trip to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory next week prompted me to dig out the old film camera from my college days and test it out -- good to know the thing still works!
The radio telescopes are so sensitive that anything battery operated is not allowed anywhere near them...otherwise, visitors are able to walk right up to the beasts.
Lots of dust on these scans.
The camera on the left was made in England from 1947-1953 ; the restyled and re-named version on the right was made from 1953-1957 .
Made in USA , from Nov 1933-Feb 1934 . Presumably the last model for roll film size 120 and 116 from the USA , made for export purposes .
The Retinette type 022 camera was made in Germany from 1954-1958 . This is the late model (serial number 984024) , fitted with an Angénieux lens and an Atom shutter by Kodak-Pathé in France .
Tri-X in medium format is peerless. I bought a cheap Rolleiflex with 80mm (50mm equivalent) for less than the price of a cheap digital camera and wow I love the results.
Also, I am getting very interested in square format. Composition in square format is different. The rule of thirds does not work as well. Symmetry works very well as does diagonals which is what I have done with this. The rock in the bottom right balances the tree in the top left. I like how the rock is hidden from the tree. Partially buried and hidden behind the long grasses. I hope you like it.
Camera: Rolleiflex 6006

Comparison of the models made in USA (on the left) and in France (on the right).
Both are for use with the capless (PF1) bulb; and both have a capacitor in the battery compartment for use with a 22.5 Volt battery; the interiors are significantly different. Earlier models from the USA used 2 AA-size batteries . The French version is slightly taller ; it also has a deeper reflector scale .
Camera for roll film size 620 , made in Germany (Kodak A.G. Dr.Nagel-Werk , Stuttgart) , 1933-1936 . Camera front and body connected with hinges .

La Folding Pocket Kodak és una càmera força important. En primer lloc, és una de les primeres càmeres de rodet del món, i molt en especial, la primera que realment es podia portar a la butxaca, com clàrament indica el seu nom. Hi havia ja aleshores càmeres més petites, però no de rodet de pel·licula.
La FPK es començà a produir el 1897, i inicià una gràn familia de càmeres plegables de la marca Kodak que s'allargaren fins poc abans de la Segona Guerra Mundial, amb infinitat de variants. És, pertant la "avia" de totes elles. Emprava el format 105, fent fotos de 2 1/4 x 3 1/4; de fet és molt similar al actual format 120, pel que amb certa traça, es pot fer servir en aquesta càmera.
L'obturador i l'objectiu eren molt senzills, integrats en l'estructura i que no permetien quasi cap variació en la fotografia. De fet, aquesta càmera no té gaires més possibilitats que una molt més senzilla i ubicua Brownie de caixa, però gràcies a la manxa, és molt més compacta.
El 1899, pràcticament sense canviar la estructura, la càmera canvià de nom, incorporant el No.1 davant de "Folding Pocket Kodak"; així es diferenciava de altres variants de mides diferents que s'anaven incorporant al cataleg, com la No.0 o la No.1A. Tot i que hi ha diversos "sub-models" de trancisió, crec que aquesta és encara una FPK original, ja que s'en fabricaren 75.000, i el seu nº de serie està entre els 44.000. Igualment, en el text al interior de la càmera no parla de cap patent posterior al 1894 (n'he vista altres que si ho fan), ni incorpora visors tipus "brilliant", tipics de les primeres "No.1". Tot plegat, dona una cronologia de fabricació del 1898-1899, just quan la Guerra de Cuba!
Algú, potser el primer propietari, gravà les lletres AP en un dels extensors cromats, segurament les seves inicials.

======================
The Folding Pocket Kodak is a very historically important camera. First and foremost, it is one of the first roll-film cameras in the world, and especially the first that could really be carried in your pocket, as the name implies. At that time there were smaller cameras, but using glass plates.
The FPK began production in 1897, and launched a large family of Kodak-branded folding cameras that lasted until shortly before World War II, with countless variants. It is, as such, the "grandmother" of all of them. It used the 105 format roll film, taking 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 photos; in fact it is very similar to the current format 120, so with some adaptations it can be used in this camera.
The shutter and lens were very simple, integrated in the structure and allowed almost no variation in photography. In fact, this camera does not have much more possibilities than a much simpler and ubiquitous Brownie box camera, but thanks to the bellows, it is much more compact.
In 1899, with almost no change in structure, the camera was renamed, incorporating No.1 in front of "Folding Pocket Kodak"; Thus it differed from other variants of different sizes that were being incorporated into the catalog, such as No.0 or No.1A. Although there are several trance "sub-models", I think this is still an original FPK and not a No.1, as 75,000 were manufactured, and its serial number is between the 44,000. Also, in the text inside the camera it does not speak of any patent since 1894 (I have seen others than they do), nor does it incorporate "brilliant" viewfinders, typical of the first "No.1". All in all, it gives a manufacturing timeline of 1898-1899, just when the Cuban War!
Someone, maybe the first owner, wrote the letters AP on one of the chromed struts, probably his initials.
