MZ-7 time exposure?

2001-05-07 Thread helen davis

Daniel,
I'm sure you'll be receiving explicit answers to your
question, but let me offer this in the meantime.
I don't have access to that particular camera and I'm
only guessing, but check the mode selector for a B.
This is the retro symbol for timed exposure when the
air bulb was the commonly used remote shutter
release. Still available if you shop a bit. 
You are, of course, right to acquire a substantial
tripod and a remote shutter release.
The water fall ribbon effect may not require the
exposure time are perhaps assuming. I've used 100ISO
film (and slower) almost exclusively, which lends
itself to such work. 
I have stacked 2 polarizing filters a couple times and
used an AE camera setting. Work with the polarizing
angle of each filter until the scene is substantially
darkened. Check meter for its reaction and if the
meter has no objection, bracket a few frames and plan
on some interesting images.
Enjoy!

Jack

Want Super Program operating manual

2001-04-16 Thread helen davis

Need your help again..
When I sold one of my Super Programs, a few months
ago, I let the manual go with it. A couple of times
since I've wished I had another to aid my failing
memory.
I presently have no unanswered question about it's
operation, but would like one around in case. Also, if
I should decide to recycle another Super Program, a
manual might help the buyer.
If anyone knows of a sight I might reference or has an
extra for sale, pls post to the list.

Thanx,

Jack

OT: Web Sight

2001-04-14 Thread helen davis

Dear group,
I've been enjoying keeping up with list activity, but
haven't subscribed for awhile.
One reason for my re-subscribing now is my increasing
urge to investigate the setting up of a web sight.
Other than the rush derived from "showing off", I
wonder about their relative effectiveness in terms of
sales.
After you get past your initial reaction of; "it all
depends...", dare anyone give me their vague sense of
the success (relative term) one might expect?
An EXTREMELY naive question of course, however I'd be
grateful for your learned responses.

Thanx,

Jack (is back)
