ETatBKK Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 other than those beautiful pictures, wonder what sensorial experiences amaze you in the journey of taking photos ? two unique senses still imprinted in my memory, although really long ago : the sound of sliding out the stainless steel shielding plate from the magazine; and the ‘strange’ taste of licking the tip ( and sealing ) the 120 roll ! and you . . .

Goshawk Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 the cathartic release or sense of, "Yes!!! nailed it!" in my case, usually after 30mins & God knows how many shots taken . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJP Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 If I shoot wildlife I feel like I've murdered a badger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhythmworx Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I miss having a long zoom, made me feel like a hi-tech pervert or a spy, even though my neighbours didn't really get up to much anyway, some were pensioners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine51 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The sound of the shutter on a Hassie 500C the moment the release button is pressed. Others within the 500 meter earshot range may have detested it but I loved it. Another was the sound of my old motorised F2AS on the H setting with the mirror locked up, which it had to be at that setting. Last but not least...the sound of opening the back to change film then the click when I closed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshine51 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Another was the sound of my old motorised F2AS on the H setting with the mirror locked up, which it had to be at that setting. once I was an appointed photographer for an classic orchestra in the concern hall, with this Nikon F2AS motor . . . you can continue the rest of the story . . . I really want to drill into the floor somewhere ! I once tried the H2 setting without the mirror locked up just to see what happens. After about 8 frames the camera died with a horrible sound resembling a semi truck being torn apart as it ran against a spiked wall. Removed the lens & the innards looked like a mini-grenade had been tossed in there. Bits of spring, bits of glass, twisted metal frames, ripped up shutter curtain etc. Never fear it was an agency camera. Nikon did make a "blimp" for the F2 when motorised though. Never was able to find one because every "pro" photo store I went to...even in Japan...told me they had no stock & may never get said stock in future. So much for acoustic deadening eh. I hope you and the orchestra conductor went & had a pint or two after the show. Now...I must go and see a feller about about a rip saw for some teak logs I need to cut..... Mind you...that F2, in all it's incarnations...was & most likely still is, the best damn camera Nikon ever made...bar none. Cheers!

rhythmworx Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 ^^^ Jeeeesus Christ!!! I nearly jumped out of my skin on that last one. That seems like a great tool to wake a sleepy teerak up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETatBKK Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 I had exactly that old-school damn good F2+MD2+MB1, bought in 1979. I still have it, although it can't make any sound. the last service and oil was 10 years ago in a vintage camera shop in Hong Kong. it is really the legend of Nikon ! mind you, it is not only that mechanical sound, but also the mechanical vibration on your hand ! p.s. that was my first assignment with the orchestra; well, that was also the last :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
