Temperatur

Ein bisschen komisch: bei 22 grad plus, lange Unterhosen für 32 grad minus kaufen. Aber weil Sibirien kein ferner Traum mehr ist, sondern bevorstehende Realität...
Aber zuerst noch ein herbstliches PuddingHimbeerStarbucksMuffi mit Doppio.

E In Stalin's Volkswagen (my bakelite Смена) was 1987 AgfaOrtho, in the interbellum Darko (still going strong).

Lachs in Hummersosse

Der Herbst fängt gut an: ich sitze bei Madrid, geniesse al fresco die Sonne und den Marques (mgsjsn). Der Lachs ist perfekt.

Dann besuche ich die Volksrepublik China, kuck mir alte Bücher an und kaufe, weil das Tanzmariechen so polnisch aussieht Pravda Wodka zum Schützenfest.
Düsseldorf international.

In der Iloca ist... ach, das sehen Sie unten. Oben.

E In the fifties Iloca is nineties Tasma, the developer is interbellum, probably Darko.

I apologize for the stupid lay out, BLOGGER can't get it right lately. Very annoying.

Kryptogramm

Es geht voran, mit Düsseldorf und mit mir. Vorige Woche noch ein kriechendes Krustentier, heute wieder fix auf die Beinchen. Ich habe immer noch den Hund huckepack, aber eppur mi muovo und bei Karstadt is Kaliskaya im Angebot, der Racke Rauchzart unter den Wodkas.
Und als ich dann zuhause doch noch zusammenbrach war das völlig in Ordnung.

E In the Minox B was modern Minopan 400 (Agfa), and the century old Eastman Powder still working after all these (4) weeks!

"Altijd Nijmegen"... BÀH!

"Not very interesting..." You are d***d right. The city was empty,
 I even thought the world famous "Van Limburg Festival" was cancelled, but then, there in the background, I saw something. Yes, there was more, carefully screened-off because you had to pay for it. I didn't, just went home.

Hätte ich heute doch bloss das "Gourmet-Kö-Fest" gewählt! 
120+ Buden und selbstverständlich gratis...

In the wartime Фотокор 1 was Fomapan 100, in the still very nice interbellum Eastman Powders.

3D stereo - howitsdun

This year's "Indian Summer Lecture" is about some fun: 3D photography.
Very easy to do, here are the steps:

1 Make two pictures, appr. 63mm horizontally apart, like your eyes are. You can use any camera, make a pinhole-box, or use a special one like the Iloca above.

2 Crop and align them with Picasa (or your own photoshop-thinghy). You have to think a bit: the left picture has to be at the left - my pinhole-print is wrong, you will never see 3D there!

3 Size: I print on 10x15 cm. If you only want them on your srcreen, the distance has to be 63 mm again.

4 A dark background is better for easy viewing.

5 How to look at them: it's a technique, or a trick. First: relax. Eyes at infinite, then just concentrate on the middle. Or buy a viewer like my Underwood, patented in 1901.

Try it! Download one of my pics above, find the right size for your screen and practise, get those eye-muscles moving. It's fun.

7 Sep Update: just a small hand-held quicky. I moved the camera not only horizontally, but also in a circle (more or less...) and discovered the 3D effect does nòt get better, but rather "well-done" (and I prefer mine "rare"):

And if you can get antique stereoscopic cards - those are real time machines! Great to be in that street, a century ore more ago:

Oh - I always forget the anaglyph method, because I don't have, nor like, the glasses. But that's also rather easy to do:

And of course:

Even in -26 Irkutsk with trowaways 3D is possible!

And, not photography, but nevertheless:

Sehr abenteuerlich...

...bin ich absolut nicht.
Aber... Gestern kriegte ich den Zeitplan f'ür meine bevorstehende Sibirien-Reise. Machte mich risikofreudig, heute also Curry Madras, bei Balthasar. Und nachher Pflaumenkuchen - Sie wissen was beide bewirken können!
Das Photo: Bild nicht vergrössern, Augen auf unendlich entspannen, und dann bewust sehen: 3-D (stereo). Gemacht mit der fünfziger Iloca.

(PS Keine MAIZNICA Haferflocken-Kekse gekauft?
Mais naturellement! Alles was noch da war...)

The Lost Mill

I couldn't find this one on my own
(I didn't even know it existed)
but my guide Jeroen knew this
1745 built "Hernense Molen",
problem solved.
Чайка-2 in the sunday-rain,
