The Trip 35 is a 35mm compact camera, manufactured by Olympus. It was introduced in 1967 and discontinued, after a lengthy production run, in 1984. The Trip name was a reference to its intended market — people who wanted a compact, functional camera for holidays. During the 1970s it was the subject of an advertising campaign that featured popular British photographer David Bailey. Over ten million units were sold." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympus_Trip_35

Tune in...we give away film cameras and film monthly!
Spotlight on the Diana camera, Polaroid announces new camera, book of the month, Using Rodinal in the darkroom and cult camera giveaway! We’re giving away a Diana+ 120 camera…a Holga 120n camera and an Olympus Trip 35 camera! Hosted by Michael Raso with Duane Polcou and John Fedele.
“The Diana first appeared during the early 1960s as a inexpensive box camera sold by the Great Wall Plastic Factory of Kowloon, Hong Kong. Most were exported to the United States and the United Kingdom. In the United States, the Diana was imported by the Power Sales Company of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania.
The Diana camera is a plastic-bodied box camera utilizing 120 roll film. It takes twelve 6×6 cm photographs using a simple plastic meniscus lens. Originally marketed as an inexpensive novelty gift item, the Diana was later used by professional photographers to take soft focus, impressionistic photographs somewhat reminiscent of the Pictorialist Period of artistic photography, but utilizing contemporary themes and concepts. Ten years after the Diana disappeared from the market, another inexpensive box camera of similar concept, the Holga, would also become the camera of choice of some professional photographers.
As a bottom market camera intended for novelty use, the Diana frequently suffers from light leaks, film advance issues, and other problems. However, its low-quality plastic lens has been celebrated for its artistic effects in photographs, normally resulting in a slightly blurred composition that can provide a 'dreamlike' quality to the print.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_camera

BOOK OF THE MONTH
Brett Weston’s Voyage of the Eye. Photographs by Brett Weston. Introduction by Beaumont Newhall. Aperture, New York, 1992. 128 pp., 100 duotone plates, 9x10½".
"This revised and expanded edition celebrates the eightieth birthday of one of America's foremost photographers. Whether it is an Alaskan glacier miles away or shards of broken glass in San Francisco inches from the camera, Brett Weston's images seize exhilarating patterns in the natural and man-made world."--the publisher. As a retrospective, Voyage of the Eye invites the viewer to witness the evolution of Weston's philosophy of photography through sixty-five years of image-making.
“Rodinal was patented January 27, 1891 by Dr. Momme Andresen. It was the first product sold by Agfa and is the oldest photographic product still available (2010). After the patent expired, Rodinal has been supplied under different names by other companies. Rodinal is a concentrated liquid developer with very long storage life; the working developer is used once. This may have helped sales to amateur users who did not have to make up an entire packet of developer, enough for many films but with a short life once made up.
Rodinal has for a long time been manufactured in a chemical plant in Vaihingen-Enz owned originally by Agfa. In November 2005 the plant was sold to a&o Imaging Solutions GmbH in Koblenz, Germany, who continued the production of Rodinal. In 2008 it was sold again to Connect Chemicals (Ratingen, Germany.) Today Rodinal can be obtained from ADOX Fotowerke Bad Saarow, Germany. It is now called ADONAL.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodinal

“How did you get the vignetting? Is that intentional i.e. by lighting technique?”
The image of New Jersey band Monday Night Bear Claw was shot in my studio using the Holga 120N camera with a Polaroid back. I used “hot lights” combined with a Holga on-camera flash.
There is a 650w "spotted" light (w/ barn doors) aimed onto white seamless paper behind the talent. This causes the circular "hot spot" directly behind them. Most of the vignetting occurs due to characteristics of the Holga camera.
Most of my photography is a combination of technique, esthetic and personal style. Here are some examples of recent images with a few notes on how the images were accomplished.
Above: This dreamy portrait of Ashley from Monday Night Bear Claw was lit using the same techniques as the Holga portrait above. In most situations, a mood can be accomplished by your choice of camera, lens and film stock. In the above shot, I used my 1972 Polaroid Alpha camera with the brand new Impossible Project PX 70 Color Shade instant film.
Below: I continued to shoot Comedian Méla Nichols between set-ups at my studio. Many times, my best images are those shot “in-between” poses. For this reason, I always have some type of point-and-shoot camera handy before, during and after a studio shoot. The image was captured using my 1969 Polaroid Colorpack II camera, Polaroid B&W instant film and an on-camera flashcube.
Above: Flip Side Records in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey. “Atom Heart Mother” album shot with the Olympus Trip 35 camera. The slightly spotted lighting effect is due to using a flash with the Trip’s slightly-wide fixed 40mm lens.
Below: Want a shot to look like it was shot in the 1970s? Easy enough…shoot with film that expired in the 1970s! This shot of Willowbrook Mall in Wayne, New Jersey was shot using Kodak Kodachrome film that expired in March of 1979. Years of poor storage caused the dyes in the film to shift towards magenta, giving the shot the off-beat faded look.
Above: Day for Night can be achieved by shooting with Tungsten balanced film. Tungsten film is meant to be shot with studio lights. Studio lights are much “Warmer” than daylight, so any images exposed using daylight will render your shots blue. In order to make sure that model Desiree Saetia wasn’t blue, I used an off-camera flash with a tungsten gel.
“Summer Vacation” features the live music of the Pink Delicates. Photo chat includes the Olympus Trip 35, Polaroid Mio, listener letters and much more.
What Has Made The Guys Better Photographers? Watching Stanley Kubrick Films. Looking at other Artist's work. Criticism at College classes. Practice, shooting lots of Film. Having fun!
Only 4 months left to shoot Kodachrome and send it out for developing at Dwaynes Photo!
This past May I received an e-mail from Ian Cook praising the Olympus Trip 35 (35mm film camera).
He said:
"I don't know what it's like in the usa, but over here - in the uk [and in other countries, too] - the old, olympus trip 35 camera is having a bit of a resurgence; i picked up my first one, for £3 [$5, i guess] just over a year ago - and haven't stopped shooting with it, since! in fact, i was so impressed with them, that i completely dumped my £20,000 leica-collection! lol.
perhaps you could spotlight them in one of your future podcasts? here is the main group, which i am part of [i was shocked to discover, a few weeks ago, that i'm now its second most-prolific image-contributor!]: http://www.flickr.com/groups/olympustrip35/ - and this is my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/j12t/ - maybe you guys could pick one up, and see what you think of it? [if you aren't already aware of/using them].
Many thanks for several thousand entertaining minutes, so far! i love the jersey-spin on the fpp : ]"
A large portion of Ian's Flickr Photostream was shot with the Olympus Trip 35 camera!
Well, I couldn't resist. I logged on to e-bay UK and purchased my very own Trip 35. Upon receiving I searched for the battery compartment. Amazingly, the camera needs no batteries to run the internal light meter.
Camera enthusiast Ken Rockwell said: "The Olympus Trip 35 operates completely without batteries. Its light meter and programmed automatic exposure system is solar powered! This makes it one of the world's most advanced cameras which provides fully automatic exposure completely without batteries or external electrical power."
This camera is a modern marvel of the post WWII generation. An amazing discovery. Thank you, Ian! (What an excellent camera to distract me from my current Polaroid Obsession!)
