One of the local stores has an ancient soviet
junk cam that they are asking far too much
for. But I'm tempted because it comes with a flash
like this!!
I recently went to a Harold Cazneaux
exhibition, and he used light and shadow in a
similar way. A nice reminder that good still
life photography does not alway have to
involve fancy lighting setups.
Finally got mine and started shooting with
her, first frames are online now. Exactly the same model but manufactured in
France so the "Hawkeye" was dropped
from the name in favour of "Flash"
The shadow pattern works very well. I know
nothing about these things, does it still
work? And what kind of film does it use?
Assuming that it isn't digital :-D ...
What a great shot! The lighting is so
perfect... You know, I had one of these as a
boy...same flash too as I remember... This
shot is a treasure...I have faved it! rick
Great camera- one of my favourite box
cameras. I recommend flipping the lens- it
gives a similar feel to a lensbaby, but at a
fraction of the price. I've never tried using
one with a flash, though. I expect the bulbs
must be difficult to get hold of...
