Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

It’s Christmas day morning and I am ready for a feast of Christmas dinner later.

Yesterday I received the scans back from the lab for my latest camera a Yashica Electro 35, they turned out pretty well and I have uploaded them here for you to see. It is a rangefinder camera and I was a little worried things would not be in focus correctly as I had trouble viewing through the view finder. But all the frames seem OK apart from a few due to my silly mistakes. I’m happy the camera is working as it should!

This camera was introduced in the mid 60’s and it is well made and very popular at the time working in aperture priority auto mode. I purchased this from eBay and it came with a nice leather case.

We have had a fair few storms recently and flying conditions have not been ideal. But I have flown my drone a couple of times to capture the beautiful morning sun rises.

I’m trying my best not to get drawn into the usual festive sales that happen this time of year. But I have been doing a lot of research into Leica cameras. A very well known and respected photography brand. I do like the history of Leica and how it as developed over the years into using digital. The cameras are perhaps outside my budget but who knows, maybe I will get to use one, one day )

I hope everyone is well and can find some joy and happiness at this time of year!

Stay safe guys
