New layout & ice

Thursday, January 30, 2014

Uuendused blogi välimuses: lisasin minimalistliku tagatausta ja liigutasin paremal asuva tulba widgetid alla.
Olin tükk aega mõelnud, et midagi tuleks kujundusega ette võtta, sest parem veerg kippus suuremate piltide postitamise korral ette jääma - fotode maksimaalne laius oli limiteeritud 1000 pikslile (ei tea küll miks, aga varem postitasin tikutopsisuuruseid pilte, nüüd olen seda viga üritanud parandada).
Headerit olen viimase paari päeva jooksul vist miljon korda vahetanud (küll ei sobinud font, siis jälle taust, siis jälle font jne). Eelmine header oli veelgi minimalistlikum (ainult must-valge kalibreerimise pilt), aga sel korral leidsin, et oleks vist viisakas mingi tervitus/kirjelduslause ka lisada.
Proovisin ka paari bloggerivälist template'i, kuid need jäid minu jaoks liiga kirjuks, soov oli jääda võrdlemisi lihtsa kujunduse juurde.

Ja kuna saabus kauaoodatud lisarõngas, sain veidi hõlpsamini katsetada Nikoni kere ja Industar objektiivi. Tulemuseks mõned pildid jääst rõduaknal.

Update in blog's appearance: I added a minimalistic background and transferred the contents of the column on the right to the bottom.
One of the reasons why this needed to be done was that the layout limited the width of my photos to 1000px max (I've slowly started uploading bigger images, I have no idea why I previously uploaded matchbox-sized stuff).
Also, I think I've changed my header a million times during these past few days. My previous header was even more minimalistic (just the black-white calibration image) but this time I felt I needed to add a basic description of what this page was about.
I also tried some other templates that I could find around the web, but most of them were a bit too flashy as my mind was set on something very simple (or boring, I guess :D).

Missing additional ring to connect Nikon body to Industar lens arrived and I tested the setup by photographing ice on the window.

Industar lens + Nikon D80

Thursday, January 16, 2014


Mustad jõulud tõmbasid kriipsu peale mu "lähen pildistan lumist pühadeaegset vanalinna" mõttele. Kipub kuidagi nii olema, et kui on aega pole ilma ja kui on sobiv ilm, siis pole jällegi aega.

Aga nüüd tänasest mini-update'ist. Läbi õnneliku juhuse sain sügisel endale kauaoodatud Zenit E koos Industar-50 50mm F3.5 objektiiviga (filmirull on veel poolik & ilmutamata).
Täna saabus adapter, millega saan Industari oma Nikonil kasutada. Üks vaherõngas on veel puudu, aga kuna ma olin ootamisega juba kärsituks muutunud, siis proovisin poolikult "testsõitu" teha.
Piltidel 3 esimest asja, mis käeulatuses olid ehk euromünt, 20 kopikat ja glitter küünelakk. Samuti kasutatud pikendustorusid, mille abil saab makrovõtteid teha.

Holidays without snow cancelled my plans of "going out and taking photos in the old town which is truly a winter wonderland in December". I did try and took some photos but it just wasn't the same without snow.

About today's mini-update. Lucky me finally got a Zenit E with Industar-50 50mm F3.5 lens back in autumn! The film roll is not full yet but I had ordered an adapter which allows me to use Industar with my Nikon. It arrived today but unfortunately I'm still missing one additional ring and so the setup is not yet complete. Despite that I decided to give it a test run and took photos of the first 3 things within reach - 1 euro, 20 kopecks and a glitter nail polish. I also used extension tubes.
