I love that first baby Rolleicord, super quality in a tiny package. Thanks. I do try to buy the best condition cameras but have boobed on occasion. Sorry Harry they did not make a Baby Rolleicord as far as I can tell from my camera library. They did make a Baby Rolleiflex with grey body though. The other Rolleicord is the model Va from 1957-61. Both same size. Allan Edited April 5 by Allan Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Harrison Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 24 minutes ago, Allan Bell said: Sorry Harry they did not make a Baby Rolleicord Yes, I was only speaking figuratively as it is indeed a very small camera for 6x6 medium format quality, like its later companion. I don't have one but I do have a Minolta Autocord in a similar condition to your cameras. It has a fabulously sharp lens, way better than the 80mm on my Mamiya C330 when I took the trouble to compare them once, but I use it rarely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I used it on a couple of sessions when the 500C was in for a fix (the PC socket went bad once, and it jammed once ot twice). I even bought the lovely little lens hood so I could put a net under it for portraits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Hyde Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) One from a recent walk about. If anyone knows the technical name, or any other appropriate keywords, for those blue box uprights these guys were installing I would appreciate it. They looked like they were being installed around the building as some sort of trim. Edited April 6 by Steve Hyde 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an expert, but I would have... exterior trim, fascia (as in, front of building, not as in a fascia board on a house), panels, 'uprights', and probably stanchion (although not strictly correct) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zxzoomy Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Greater Manchester Police did a good job today keeping pro Israel and pro Palestine protests apart in Manchester, UK. This is a member of the pro Israel group - and he was not arrested. I have just realised that I have been taking photos of demonstrations for 50 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've also got the old name as Ranunculus ficario when it should be Ranunculus ficaria. Hope this helps you make a sale (I take far less commission than A).

I am going to have to update my RSPB book of "Wild Flowers of Britain and Europe." Just looked and my edition was published in 2010.🤪 Allan The latest publication that RSPB have on-line for that book is 2013. So it will still be out of date. Recommendations please?

ITMA I usually check with the RHS website - they're pretty up to date with nomenclature. The problem is that DNA analysis is now replacing the older types of species differentiation and the taxonomists are finding that what they thought were related plants aren't - and then they need new names. Keeping up is a nightmare, even for people who've done some botanical studies in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvallee Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 At long last, I got round to editing some macro shots I took in Far North Queensland. It was a housesit we did. It had a very large garden with tropical flowers/plants/shrubs/fruit. It was a delight. Shame about the Alamy watermark placement on some of them. Our job was to look after 3 dogs and some prize chooks (Polish, etc) held in a spiffy chicken coop called 'Chook Mahal', complete with an electric door to keep pythons away. One chook died on us on our first day there... Spiny Ants (Polyrhachis genus) on an Heliconia rostrata Spiny Ant (Polyrhachis genus) on an Anthurium sp.

Steve F Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I stayed in Cirencester recently and planned to photograph it on the morning we left. The weather had other plans. I could see blue sky, but every time I ventured out from under cover, the heavens opened up. I got very wet and frustrated, and the light was rubbish. At last the sun came out briefly and I managed to get this shot: Grade I listed medieval St John the Baptist church and south porch, with perpendicular gothic architecture, reflected in puddles.

I also enjoy photographing things I know won't sell! Gen, a question. I'm just curious, what lens do you do the bird shots with? I'm assuming it's longer than 400mm so must be pretty heavy?
