It's spring and the youth in my area are hoping to get odd jobs to make a little spending money. Mowing lawns, cleaning horse stalls, etc. It's been said that youth are falling behind with their learning due to schools being closed due to the covid.  🙂

Church of the Good Shepherd, Lake Tekapo, NZ. I just picked up an X Vario with all the accessories for a good price and tried it out last weekend. Color was set to Vivid so I desaturated it slightly. You can compare wth M10 version in the landscape forum.

Not sure if this stump rotted out or if it was burned or chemically treated. I wonder if early man got the idea for making a bucket from stumps like this.    X-Vario

Welcome to the forum, Sureshot. You are correct. The X Vario has been designed to make close-up photography as simple as possible, giving excellent performance and sensible working distances. Enjoy.

And the dynamics allow great clouds:

Just arrived home after 20" x 16" and half plate "wet plate modelling” for ultra large format wet plate practitioner Tony Lovell ... i.e. me 'posing' using Leica M3 / Summaron 35/2.8 with goggles … a variation on a Feininger theme inspired by AF’s well known Leica photographer photo c. 1952 http://www.artnet.com/artists/andreas-feininger/the-photojournalist-dennis-stock-xvc5b_nad6yaD63aKpDinA2.  …. But Tony suggested using my left eye as the point of focus with a different but similar pose. Unfortunately there were several technical problems with first time use of 20"x16" wet plates including temperamental wet plate chemistry … latter also affected the half plate size wet plates but Tony managed to ‘rescue’ one half plate image which with ‘all faults’ developed into an interesting photo. Await emailed copy of same from Tony. The 20" x 16" Hunter Penrose Camera was fitted with a Leitz EPIS 1000mm / f3.5 lens … shutter comprises dustbin lid lens cap … removed for 6 second (ish) exposures with my head supported by a head / neck clamp … and my camera holding arm (elbow) supported on an out of view tripod head, We will try again when Tony has fully discovered / isolated / remedied the several reasons for the overexposed and subsequently self-fading (after 2 hours) 20" x 16" wet plate images. An interesting day and grabbed a few pics using the X Vario ... including following illustrating the dustbin lid shutter / lens cap used on the 20" x 16" ultra large format camera ... it's actually capable of covering 24" x 20"  but today used 20" x 16" glass plates

My late Aunt Sheelagh Bramley sat for well known artist Alfred Reginald Thomson R.A. sometime during the WW2 years ... she was a nurse and 'ART' was an Air Ministry official war artist ... he is well known for his WW2 hospital patient portraits ... including RAF servicemen undergoing treatments. I've traced one other nurse portrait by the artist. Decided to copy the portrait and send copies to my family  ... thus used the X Vario ... 70mm 1/20sec f6.4 ISO 100 ... using kitchen window light  / reflectors and a custom white balance. Mounted portrait is behind glass; managed to kill the reflections of my tripod by attaching black foam to the tripod column. After WW2 Sheelagh was a 'Flying Doctor's Nurse / Midwife ' in South Africa and the Australian outback ... and in the 1960s was appointed Matron at Bellshill Maternity Hospital Glasgow.   

In the 1948 London Olympic Games, the artist Alfred Reginald Thomson R.A. (10/12/1894 - 27/10/1979) was the last person to be awarded a Gold Medal for painting ... medals for art were abandoned in subsequent Olympic Games. 

My X Vario is being used more regularly nowadays; its macro mode is very useful in a 'kitchen studio' environment.

This portrait inspires me to try a similar pose for a friend's photographic portrait session
