I wish to extend a warm d’Oliviera. Well done to David MacIntyre, welcome to our new our first “rookie” judge, who gave consistent members that have joined and fair scoring and commentary.

Please do not feel intimidated by the I have noticed over the recent number of new language (photospeak) that you come months’ club entries, that there is a fair into contact with at the club lectures / amount of entered images that are not sharp, and seem a bit on the soft side.

This month also launched our first “panel judging’ sessions, in which an outside judge, I have also noticed from the entries, that a seasoned Boksburg Club judge, and a there are a number of photographers whose Boksburg club “rookie” judge participated, have “dirty” sensors.

All this will build up on the camera’s

sensor. This is commonly referred to as

“sensor dust.” It can cause spots, specks, smudges, colour distortion, reduced clarity, etc. on an image. And by the time you realize it has happened, it’s too late as it has already affected the quality of the image. Every time a lens is removed from the camera body, it becomes an open window for all manner of particles to get into the body. Also, as the mirror and shutter are mechanisms are moving parts they can throw off oil and other debris. When the shutter is activated all this is stirred up and redistributed inside the camera. When the camera is on, the sensor becomes statically charged so it attracts all these unwanted particles like a magnet. There are techniques that you can use to check how “dirty” your sensor is, and when it is time to have the sensor cleaned by your camera brand’s service centre. Some of the brands have “free sensor cleaning days” a couple of times a year, or as a free service at photography fairs. It is good to take advantage of these free offers (even if you think your sensor is clean), as and when they arise.

Keep those shutters clicking!

Macro- workshop

On 13 April +- 20 members BCC were privileged to attend a Kittie Groenewald (and family) Macro and workshop at Baanbreker. The workshop dealt with both theoretical and practical aspect of predominantly abstract . Theoretical aspects covered typical definitions, the differences between macro and close up photography as well as delving into the considerations of what equipment should be used for macro type photography. Types of macro photography were covered, varying from sharp, stacked images (traditional)across to abstract partially or totally unidentifiable subject matter.

Aspects of lighting as well as optimal lighting techniques were discussed and then it was on to detailed explanations and demonstrations of the myriad equipment (samples) that Kittie had brought along for club members to drool over. Over and above specialist macro lenses, Kittie also covered alternate methodology and equipment available for the macro photographer –close up rings, reverse mounted adapters, extension tubes bellows and 2 x convertors etc. were on display and available to be fiddled with and used during the practical session.

Our workshop presenter then proceeded to provide the forum with superb examples of her work, hugely inspiring her audience with the professionalism and beauty of her images. She shared details on how she had obtained some of the images, including some of her techniques e.g. of inserting her lens towards the back of, as opposed to the front of flower stamens and focusing in this area. It was then on to the hands-on side of the workshop, where the bag of goodies provided by Kittie as sample macro material astonished BCC members. Who would have thought you could take abstract macro photos of a slice of rock, or the fantastic lighting patterns and

9

effects that can be obtained by a glass with a small defect in it, some coloured paper and a light source? Kittie Groenewald is a big fan of abstract macro photography and judging by the BCC members efforts already posted on Facebook and the rush to obtain subject matter to photograph (some ladies stopped to buy flawed glasses on the way home already) she has succeeded in planting the seed firmly in the club. Further to this, the practical session and photographic efforts of BCC members continued for 2 hours after the Groenewald family had left! Thanks again to Kittie and family for the excellent workshop and for opening our eyes to the many possibilities available in abstract macro photography.

Hannes Bronkhorst A Chinese philosopher who lived in the Ham dynasty (circa 468-381 BC) was the first to write down the principles of the . This is similar to the . The difference being that the camera obscura uses a lens and a pinhole camera only a very tiny hole. This was used in the 17th and 17th century by artists to trace projected images. In the early days’ camera obscura was often as big as a room. There was also no way to preserve these images.

Joseph Nicephore Niepce is accepted to be the creator of the first photograph as we know it. In 1816 he used a homemade camera to partially produce a successful photograph on paper coated with silver chloride. This photograph does not exist anymore, but his first surviving photograph is on permanent display at the University of Texas and dates to 1826- 1827.

The processes changed over the years. Niepce used a glass or metal surface coated with Bitumen of Judea. The brightest parts would harden the bitumen and the rest would be washed away leaving a photographic imprint. Several days of were needed for this process.

After this, various forms of capturing images was developed. Louis Daguerre a French artist developed the . The called for a sheet of silver-plated copper to be polished to a mirror finish. It would then be treated with iodine vapour to make it sensitive to light and to develop it would be exposed to a mercury vapor and then fixed with a sodium chloride solution. Daguerre was responsible for the first photograph to include a human being.

William Henry Fox Talbot, a British scientist started about the same time as Daguerre. He developed a light sensitive paper and a process called . This laid the foundation of photography up to the digital age. Talbot soaked paper in a weak solution of table salt. Brushing one side with a silver nitrate solution produces a light sensitive paper that could be used for as well as capturing images from the lens of a camera. This still

11

called for hours of exposure. By 1840 Talbot could produce a photo within a few minutes of exposure if taken in bright sunlight. This was a giant leap forward.

Handheld cameras were made from around 1888 by George Eastman who introduced the Kodak Black camera. By this time gelatine plates which developed quickly meant that tripods were not necessary anymore. And the first handheld cameras were being sold. Unlike the norm of glass plates which were the norm Eastman’s Kodak used a flexible film. These cameras had film loaded and the cameras had to be mailed back to the Kodak headquarters for development. Two years later the Brownie was released and now only the film had to be shipped back for development.

The earlier type of photos were tintypes (taken on tin) or glass plates also known as wet plate collodion. Glass plates were slightly smaller than tintypes.

19th-Century Image Plate Sizes: Whole Plate: 6.5 x 8.5 inches (16.5 x 21.5 cm) Half Plate: 4.25 x 5.5 inches (11 x 14 cm) Quarter Plate: 3.25 x 4.25 inches (8 x 11 cm) Sixth Plate: 2.75 x 3.25 inches (7 x 8 cm) Ninth Plate: 2 x 2.5 inches (5 x 6 cm) Sixteenth Plate: 1.375 x 1.625 inches (3.5 x 4 cm)

In digital cameras sensors come in different sizes:

Compare this to film sizes:

And you still want to argue about crop sensor vs full frame sensor? 35mm being full frame. is 120 film (70mm wide) and depending on camera would give negatives as per above picture. From 4x5 and bigger it is known as (LF) cameras.

The first cameras were by today’s standards ugly beasts. Made of tin and others in wood. The wooden cameras were prettier. And, much bulkier and typically used plates instead of film. As technology progressed so did the sizes of cameras get smaller. And lighter.

Once became affordable the film photography took a dive. To the point where a number of film factories closed down. Ferrania in Italy closed its doors. Kodak closed amongst others its Ekta chrome factory. Ekta chrome used the be the slide film of choice by many photographers.

Film photography has luckily not died off completely. Maybe part yuppie and hipster factor but film photography has grown in the last number of years. To the point where Ferrania started up its factory again. Where Kodak started the Ekta chrome plant and even spend millions improving on the Ekta chrome emulsion.

Film is still fairly readily available. Orms, Outdoorphotos, Kameraz and many other places stock film. Especially 35mm and to quite an extend 120 medium format film as well. Prices range from around R60 for entry level 35mm to close on R200 for pro film. Medium format

13

film also ranges from around R140-R200 per roll. Large format is a different story. Not as readily available and not so cheap. Finding some expired, but still good Kodak professional 4x5 film can go for around the R850 for 10 sheets. Yes, R85 per photo. Still not counting the 1 litre of developer and 1 later of fixer. Ilford goes for around the R1300 for a pack of 25.

Personally, one of the reasons I still like to shoot film is that it makes you think twice before taking a photo. Maybe think three times. At R100 plus per photo you think carefully before pressing the shutter on a 4x5 camera.

If you do have some old film cameras you can purchase film and use them. Or if you want to get rid of them there are places like the Vintage Camera Trader SA group and other groups on Facebook where you can sell vintage gear. There also are some old school camera technicians around if you have gear that needs a service. The following photos are all working cameras which is part of my collection.

The Rollei5 was one of the smaller 35mm rangefinder cameras. This is one of the first original one’s made in Germany. Circa 1966-1971

This is the type of cameras press photographers used to carry at some point. They would typically not extend the bellows as far as this.

Micro Precision Products (M.P.P.) Micro Technical Camera 5x4 Mk 6 Circa 1965 14

My oldest camera is an Eastman Kodak No 2 Autographic Folding Brownie. Circa 1924- 1926. Made in USA.

This Yoshika MAT and a Pentax ME Super is where my collection started. Purchased as props but since been working cameras. Some cameras like Yashica one can date down to the month. This one was made in January 1970.

15

The Pentax K1000 was a student camera. But very popular to this day. One of my favourite cameras to use. Set shutter and and focus, all one can do. No fancy bells and whistles. Circa 1976 to 1997

This Sinar Norma is my favourite large format camera. Circa 1947-1970

16

The Miranda Sensomat was launched in 1969. A camera way ahead of its time with some great features like a shutter button on top as well as the front of the camera. This one was kindly donated by Frans Grotius of our camera club. It just came back from the camera technician to have a resistor replaced that corroded after a battery leak. Will be given a film test soon.

My favourite Medium Format camera is this Mamiya RB67. This one was released in 1974. 17

Kruger National Park- A series: Pretoriuskop Denise Smith Pretoriuskop Restcamp in the Kruger National Park takes its name from the nearby koppie (hill) where Voortrekker Willem Pretorius, a member of Carl Trichardt's 1848 expedition to Delagoa Bay, is buried. The camp is also one of the oldest in the Kruger National Park and lodging ranges from fully equipped guesthouses to basic bungalows with just 2 beds and a basin. The accommodation includes the Pierre Joubert and the Doherty Bryant guesthouses.

The accommodation at Pretoriuskop Camp is grouped into 3 circles centred round the Reception Offices and spaciously laid between lush green lawns. There is also a shop and restaurant (Wimpy). The camp has what is possibly the Best swimming pool in the whole of the Kruger Park. It is formed around a Natural Rock formation and is possibly the most relaxing spot to spend a hot afternoon between game drives. The camp also offers disabled-friendly accommodation.

The Camp is situated in the southwestern part of the Park and is 9 kilometres from Numbi Gate, 60 kilometres from the Paul Kruger Gate and 50 kilometres from Skukuza Rest Camp. The surrounding vegetation is varied with some woodland, grassland and the granite dome of Shabeni Hill.

28

Pretoriuskop Camp features prominently in the history of tourism in the Kruger Park as well, since it was the first rest camp to be opened to visitors.

We were lucky enough to spend a few days in the Doherty Bryant Boma Guesthouse earlier this month. The guesthouse sleeps Nine people in three separate chalets each with its own full bathroom. There is a fully equipped Kitchen with Double door fridge – freezer, gas stove, microwave oven etc. There is also a television with DSTV for those that cannot do without their daily fix! The guesthouse is completely private and has its own garden area that looks out over the bush. The huge communal table on the veranda was well utilized by the whole family with many hours spent chatting and recounting the days sightings.

The camp was full when we were there, although this was not noticeable from the Boma.

The veld was very lush and green, and the grass was higher than an Elephants eye! We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 during our stay. We also had a Wild dog sighting, the second one for us in more than 30 years of visiting Kruger. Sadly, the Sable antelope proved to be as Elusive as ever.

29

We tend to travel far and wide when in the Park as a norm, this was not the case this time. My driver and game spotter managed to break his elbow a week before we went and as such driving was a challenge. I cannot drive and take photos it simply doesn’t work for me. We had a lot of fun, nevertheless.

The Park was very busy for the first few days and then very quiet when the schools started again. Absolute Bliss then…

I’m not a fan of the busy Southern part of the Park, but out of season it was great. We visited Lake Panic Bird Hide three times and we were the only people there each time. It is really eerie when you are alone in there.

All in all, it was a great trip and one we do on an annual basis, visiting different Camps each time.
