OT:Old Optics
A friend of mine is following an archaeological path in his retirement. He has a project which requires accurate surveying to be undertaken and can't afford a snazzy GPS system so he bought a reconditioned optical theodolite. It must have belonged to the US military at some time in its past as the instruction manual has an insert from the US Government What to do to prevent it falling into enemy hands. Basically, hit it with a big hammer. http://mitch.myzen.co.uk/HanwellCastle_1/SnowdropsAndSurveying/slides/DSCF5582.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
PESO: The Camp
Here's another slide from the old stuff I've been scanning. Among the collection there is a small set of colour photos taken of Larnach Castle on the Otago Peninsula. Luckily these weren't those horrid but oh-so-interesting Dufaycolor slides. As it happens, just last week we were invited around to my mother-in-law's place so my wife could look through some boxes of her grandparents' old books. I was happy to tag along because she'd recorded a programme for me on Sky TV (our pay-an-arm-and-a-leg TV service). And to prevent her from bringing too many books home! Among the boxes she found a booklet from 1950 entitled Larnach And His Castle which gives an outline of the history of William Larnach and the castle he built. A history which is a bit incomplete 64 years down the track. This photo was next to the ones that were obviously Larnach Castle, and I wasn't sure whether this went with them as it has no label. The book contains a similar photo as well as a little extra information about the mosaic (see the comments below the photo). http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/784/#peso The colours on the slide are pretty bad, it's quite dim with a fairly strong reddish cast, probably due to its age. I've done the best I can but I'll have to do a field trip to find out what it's meant to look like. I'm thinking about getting in touch with the current owners as they might be interested in the photos, but if I can I'd like to find out more about the photographer first.

I got some interesting critiques of the idea from one person in particular. Some quotes: ... They have a lot of nice cars, but mostly ex-race cars... Only a couple hot rods. ... To which I replied, showing my own prejudices: We would definitely have to talk to them first. As to the cars, race cars are what hot rods pretend to be. Her reply was: If you're going for a traditional pin-up look, you don't want to be standing next to a 1974 Porsche in a museum. You want to be standing next to a pre-62 hot rod or kustom. Something that is distinctly American and not pretending to be anything other than what it is. The hot rod and kustom culture that originated in post-war California still exists in a vibrant way, and is accessible to those who want to shoot traditional pin-up photography and not just photos of girls with cars. I said that I didn't particularly care to be authentic, and asked what I should call it. She said: Perhaps you should use the term girls with cars rather than pin-up for what you're doing. The last shoot you did would more closely fall under the genre of portraiture than pin-up. Using high-key lighting as you did in that shoot is considered very amateur in the pin-up photographer community. So, some questions to those who know more about pin-up photography than I, which isn't setting the bar very high: What is the definition of pin-up photography? Is high-key lighting really considered amateurish? Only pre-1962 American cars?
