My 2 years RFF with rangefinder cameras and RFF

My 2 years with rangefinder cameras and RFF


I joined RFF a couple months after I got my first rangefinder camera, a Kodak Retina IIIC and it has been 2 years here.

This little camera really inspired me and I got these shots from my everyday life. (Taken with Kodak Retina IIIC)

I dig the umbrellas and long exposures =)

 

[zuikologist]

What a great set. Really good. And happy anniversary.

 

[Wallo]

The one with four benches, umbrella shot, and the long exposure with the cart are great.

 

[robklurfield]

nice work.

 

[Deleted member 4131]

Very nice!

 

[ZeissFan]

Outstanding. I really like what you've done with that camera. Great mood and great compositions, too.

Tell folks its a Leica M3 and now you are a pro. Great shots

 

[SolaresLarrave]

Very good work, Kitaanat! Thanks for posting it!

 

[kitaanat]

The Retina camera is very small that allow me to carry it everyday and I'm really lucky that there are something different on the day the shot taken.

Thank you friends for your wonderful comments. I feel like RFF is my second home from the first day here. Great place for photo/camera lover.

Tell folks its a Leica M3 and now you are a pro. Great shots

At first I love M3 but can't find a nice one and I decided to go Retina IIIC which contain leaf shutter.
Thanks for a nice comment.

[t.s.k.]

You've captured Bangkok quite nicely.

(another 7 rolls need to cook)

Lesson learned. I should shoot more way more than I have.

 

[Warren T.]

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.

I got more subject to shoot after park my car, use subway and walk more. Thanks for visiting.

 

[kitaanat]

I dig the umbrellas and long exposures =)

I always try to shoot long exposure with my Kodak Retina.
This picture use 1 sec. shutter speed and very lucky that the other cars not yet arrived (only their head lamp that add worm light to the push cart). I put my camera on a hand rail and shoot.

other long exposure shot taken from 1/4-1/8 sec.

Excellent work Anat....you already know which photo of yours is my favorite.....nice to see some of your new work too.....when are you going to come over and check out my darkroom......

cheers, michael

 

[rbiemer]

Clearly you've spent your two years with the Retina well. These are all very good, my favorite two are "an empty seat" and "fragments behind"
Thanks for sharing all of these!

I can't leave my home without a camera. When it is really hurry to go work sometime I forget to bring my camera with me but I decided to drive back to my room and take it : ) really crazy, I think.

Thanks for the comment
