Biogon

12.jpg
The Biogon is minor lens than the Distagon is guaranteed by the Carl Zeiss.
I've been using those lenses for about 15 years.
Please take a look at this photo again, you can see this Biogon has a beautiful and big curve lens at top layer on itself.
Latest style of wide angle lenses have concave lens on the top, instead.

I mean well toward the Biogon which give me nostalgic feeling.
This Biogon had slept in my cabinet for about four years, because my Leica was disposed of me. But, now I can use it with Olympus Pen E-P2.
I had better love it.

Family Photo

Today ;
I took photos of my father in law with his grandson.
We have "Children day" that is one of Japanese Holidays.
He is 70 years old, and  he is still in good spirits.

110505.jpgIn fact, I hadn't taken photos of my family and relatives as like work for long ages.
Because, I and he had a little feud in each other.
But, the long‐standing feud between us was resolved by long time.

110505-3.jpgI decided, from now on, I'll have to respect the will of the individual.

Maintenance by myself

110504.jpg
May 7;
I'll go to Yokohama to take wedding photos.

That day.
I'll have to take photos of formal style as a responsible position.
Whenever I prepare for shooting photos  I'm going to be nervous.
And in that case, always I clean up and polish of my cameras and lenses.
It is one of solutions which gives for me calm.


Creative light

Today;
I went to Tsukishima in Tokyo to buy some gears for studio shooting.
Gin-ichi is one of well-known pro shop among photographers.
I haven't been there for about 3 years.

I'd buy many many things for studio if money were no problem.
Poor me !

Let's go back to the subject.

110418_1.jpg

I was intending to buy so-called "Chimera" at first, ...I hate to tell them this, but it smelled awful. It couldn't buy enough.

I decided to select them after so much hesitation almost 2 hours
Those name are "Creative Light".
I had better add more reason.
In fact, those were more cheaper than the Chimeras, and Those style are coolish.

Secondhand or new

So far, I might have been dreaming that I take photos in my abstraction.
But, I realized what we need.

Those are Chimera.
Now that I've found that what I need, I'll buy them as soon as possible and as cheap as friendly.

Radio synchro system

110410_1.jpg
"Comet radio synchro system" set that I ordered two days ago had arrived in the afternoon.

When we take photos of formal style at wedding, usually we use so-called "mono block strobe".
But, they made us be annoyed, because  between camera and strobe doesn't work, particular at outside on fine day.
Until now, our synchro system was depended upon infrared transmission.
As you anticipated, there are many infrared in addition to ultraviolet at outside on fine day.
It's understandably.

110410.jpgNow that, we've gotten this unit, we'll have to concentrate to take photos more than yesterday!
