Viv Wide and Slim 'T' shutter mod. --A result--
« on: August 04, 2008, 09:33:52 PM »
I spent a wet Sunday modifying one of my newly acquired Vivs to have a 'T' setting. Appears to work well though I haven't put a film through it yet. You can see it working here http://www.monopix.co.uk/vivvids.shtml and the mod details are here http://www.monopix.co.uk/vivtmod.shtml.

Well maybe not what was expected but very little moves around here on a wet Tuesday morning except me - and I don't move that much.

I don't usually title my pics but I thought the first one could be 'Spirit, Old Age, Adolescence and Infancy' due to the accidental inclusion of the Dali in the background and the second I would call ' If only it would stop raining' which is what I was thinking at the time.

No works of art but it proves the camera's working.

I like em. The more I see long exposure portraits, the more I am entranced
