A few weekends ago, my grandfather gave me his two old Leica IIIfs (both red dials, one 609XXX with 1/30 long exposure, the other 615XXX with 1/25).  He also gave me a 50mm Summarit f/1.5 (used for these shots) and a collapsible 50mm Summitar f/2.0.

I went out and picked up some Ilford ISO400 XP2 Super and went out for a few hours.  Needless to say, I’m very excited with the results.

There are lots of pictures in the Karl and Stef Album.

Friday, Karl had a great golf tournament for all of us guys. I took over two thousand photos and them pieced them together for everyone’s enjoyment. The music is courtesy of Chris Dreyer, the best man, and his band Goodbye Picasso

So I did what any self respecting geek/macro shooter would do.  I took the XSi apart and photographed the pieces.

Can you figure out my trick?

These photos were all of normal, every day horizontal blinds.  The trick is that I rotated the camera while the image was being exposed.  Some I rotated less, some more, some slower, some faster.
