Camera and Coffee

[jonal928]

Happy birthday from a fellow D-Lux owner - in my case, a Typ 109.

Hippie hooray! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Many happy returns to you. And many more birthdays.

The camera and what was on that plate, add up to quite a nice small celebration, tho' I would have opted for something a little stronger than coffee, or as a compromise something added to the coffee.

My birthday and Christmas happen to fall on the same month. So I have the perfect excuse to buy two new cameras or lenses every year.

Let me assure you that the photo uploaded was taken at the end of my birthday, which I celebrate the day before on February 27th.
As mentioned, on the night of my birthday we celebrated with a good meat meal, fine alcohol, and of course before the end we were served coffee, which for me is always an integral part of the meal.
*And as for the excuses 😉 , it was an intimate family event, so I decided not to take pictures. My wife also objected to taking pictures, and so it was.

Beautiful shot. Swirly bokeh looks like a caffeine overdose!

I wish my caffeine overdoses looked so good. Mostly they're like severe overexposure with lots of lens flare.

Either caffeine overdose or Helios 44 😂

Winding down my caffeine intake for the day.

Jeff, I have to ask, what do you use your M5 Card Computer for?

Jeff, I have to ask, what do you use your M5 Card Computer for?

I don't know yet, but it might be fun if I could do Flipper Zero sorts of hacks. The factory-installed firmware doesn't do a lot, but there seems to be no shortage of alternatives.

A cup of freshly-brewed masala chai and 1 of 12 10-inch jazz LPs that I was able to purchase at an attractive price.

Spring is in the air....
Eranthis hyemalis is the first flower in my garden

DIY speakers, DIY amplifier, even a DIY camera: shutter ribbon broke due to a manufacturing defect, and rather than scrap the camera, I fabricated a new part. Also a cup of weak late-afternoon tea.

I need a black OM1, I only have a silver one (and I only drink black coffee)…

That's not just a Twin Lens Reflex; it's a Minolta Autocord! 👍
