Comment on From Russia with Love by Brandon P

I thought you might be interested to know that this word lubitel in Russian is in fact the word for amateur, but it literally means a lover of something. I like that a lot. You're saying, "I'm not a professional photographer, I'm just a lover of photography. It's a more beautiful word than "amateur" or even "hobbyist", don't you think?

Thanks Phil, you really should return to the fold (www.dapagroup.com) and get stuck in!
My ABPE medal is being presented at the Great Barr Panel Exhibition on the 11th May if you’re free.

Well mate, I’ve read your blog & needless to say…. I’m impressed !! Congrats on your latest achievement – it looks like it’s taken some hard work & plenty of patience. I have to agree, different judges, different tastes… I see that all the time, especially at club level. Very well done mate, you deserve it ! On a different note, I did manage four acceptances in MidPhot 2013 – not on the same level as your good-self but hey, you have to start somewhere !! All the best mate, hope to see you soon…..

Phil.

Hi Paulo, I haven’t done much research into FG serial numbers, but I can tell you that serial numbers for the Nikon FG started at #820xxxx and went as high as #905xxxx (chrome and black bodies intermixed). If I can find out more information I will let you know. The serial on my FG reads: 8671641.

Hi John!

I recently purchased a Nikon FG.

The number in the underside of the camera reads 8465946.

Is it possible to determine the production data (year/month) of my camera?

Thanks

Hello Jhon, I read your blog and good for aspirants of AFIAP like me. One clarification please. Should I get all required acceptances in one section or from various sections.

Comment on Shooting Infrared images with a Nikon Coolpix 995 by Lawry

Lawry — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 13:23:12 +0000

I have my Nikon 995 converted to NIR now and very successfully. I have to thank Moose who loaned me the original NIR blocking filter from his 995 so I could measure it accurately in the lab and computer model the optical path. I made a dramatic departure from most conversions and used a ~3mm thick piece of acrylic to replace the original NIR blocking filter. My model seems to work and I have crystal clear focus over the whole range. I have a range of 28mm NIR pass filters brought very cheaply from a Chinese company via eBay so I can experiment with different NIR pass ranges.
What is the best way to show and example shot?
