Brownie Starflex DSC_3176 -1.jpg

My 'new" Brownie Starflex - according to Camerapedia released in 1957 - I would have been three.
Sold for $10 - boy did that hold it's value and then some - paid more than $10 for it. (not a lot more but more)

I just got the Canon cp1200 selphy printer. It produces sharp 4x6 images.

I wasnt making sales on my barrel riding photos. Come to find out, these riders would prefer fast photos. So, I have a show this Saturday to find out.

DSC_5537+SM George Barr Take Photography to Next Level -0001.jpg

Quite enjoying this book I picked up at a used book store in Calgary. George Barr's "Take Your Photography to the Next Level" - published in 2008.

Came with an inscription to "To Mark - best shooting". Either Mark never read it or Mark takes very good care of his books as this one was pristine.
I am enjoying the read.

I wonder if we could have a section for a Photography Book Review's or Recommendation or just "Books I like". Or am I the only old one who likes to sit in the easy chair and read the old fashioned way by turning pages? (The section would not preclude e-Books or even good websites and blogs, I read those too - sometimes in the easy chair on an e-reading tablet).

So since losing the stupid DK-17 at Firefly, kept forgetting to get a new one for the Df and bit the bullet on the 17M to try that whole idea out. Should ship before the weekend and then the fun can begin!

Well, thought I'd take a punt, bought a Snanny SN600SN from Amazon for £65, thought I'd give it a try.... So far CLS works well as does TTL, appears to expose correctly and the quoted GN of 60 even looks accurate. Build quality is better than I would expect for the money. Only draw back I can see so far is that the external battery pack input is Canon fitting. Really pleased for the money!!!

Just what I've been looking for: a cold-shoe with a standard 1/4" x 20TPI screw. These will be used to attach flash units to a couple cheap tripod & ball-head combos I have laying around that aren't being used. I plan to attach a cheap QD plate to the bottom screw and epoxying all the threads so I can keep everything assembled as a single unit.

Finally! Flashes on tripods/ball-heads (because I pretty much detest typical light stands).
