![]() When I was 15 I had b/w photography as a subject in school. Below is an interesting article about why we seem to have so few mosquitoes in the Seattle area. I would like to get a good shot of the male antennae, in this sample the antennae were a bit messed up. This was a male mosquito, it had antennae, so that may have had something to do with it's size. I think there are about 30 different types of mosquito in the area where I live but for the most part they're not that bad unless you're close to a wetland area. ![]() Where I live we can hear the larger ones when they get close but the small ones can sneak up on you pretty easily. I've had to wrestle a few off me when I was up there. ![]() We also have larger ones than this but nothing like the ones they have in Alaska, those ones will fly away with small children. The mosquito pictured was a dead one I found caught in a web, it was very small. I enjoy the whole process of developing film so expect more. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to use a 4x5 camera so I can make contact prints. I was like a kid in a candy shop getting all the great cameras that I used to lust after. ![]() When everyone was switching over to digital I was buying them for next to nothing. I have quite a collection of old film cameras from 8mm to 4x5 and everything in between. The mosquitos here in Germany can be heard when they come close. You mosquito wing looks much more interesting than I would have thought - a really interesting subject. With time I realized that it was always the cameras I liked, not the medium film. I now have a nice showcase for my old cameras but haven't used one for nearly 10 years. ![]() The output of the S7W medium format cameras was really nice, but the productivity was low and I didn't really enjoy laboratory work in the basement. Until then I alway used a 1970s Praktica or Minolta kit and a 35mm classic, 6圆 reflex or 6x9 folder medium format at the side. I myself started digital photography late, it was 2007 and I bought a Pentax DSLR when 6 megapixels didn't sell anymore and they got cheap. These old microscope cameras were expensive and nicely made instruments but I really can't remember when I last saw an image made by them. Thank you for posting your analog photography! ![]()
