Decade  - 1940′s

Today in class we have been a tasked with a particular decade to study, covering technical developments, historic influences and also what artists/photographers happened to be working during this period.I have been tasked with the 1940′s , Historically the main events were the beginning of world war II (1939 - 1945), attack on pearl harbour ‘41, India got its independance from Britain ‘47, lastly the Warsaw ghetto uprising 1943 during WWII. 

1944,Omaha Beach

This is one of the most famous D-Day photographs taken in WW2.The photographer being Robert Capa, he was a war photographer and photojournalist. I find this image very haunting as of how blurred it is, in a way it depicts the chaos and horror of war. Due to the timing of this decade a lot of the images taken had been war based.

 1948, Dali atomicus

The above photograph was taken by Philippe Halsman. Halsman used a twin lens reflex camera which he designed himself to capture his images.It took 26 times for him to achieve the perfect photo. He was inspired by the surrealist painter Salvador Dali ,the painting being called leda atomica.  

The Blitz, London, 1942 

Cecil Beaton captured a young man pushing a wheel barrow which was filled with fallen debris from the St Mary-le-Bow church after the first bombing.The church was completely destroyed in 1942.

Technology 

Kodacolour was the first colour negative film that was intended for making paper prints. Although the brand Kodak claims that it was “the worlds first true colour film”.

The mercury II was a post war camera made in the year 1945.The company universal camera corporation advertised this camera as the first “mini camera” which was designed for taking colour photos on 35mm film. The cost back then for a Mercury mark II was £20.

 One of the main developments in this decade was that the first ever polaroid instant camera was invented by Edwin H Land.This machine did wonders for photographers as the image was instant.

The first ever Hasselblad camera was invented in ‘41 but was globally manufactured in the year 1948 for mundane use after its main function in WWII being an aerial camera. It was historically a big movement for photography as it was the world's first single lens medium format camera with interchangeable lenses and film magazines.In the 60′s Hasselblad NASA began to document space missions using the Hasselblad 500c, this partnership continued throughout the years up until 2003.

, Dennis Gabor invented holography (1947).

First Spreads

Ive created some spreads that I’m really happy with. They need some refinement but I think im on to the look that I want for this zine.

Ive decided to put the same sort of information blocks for every matchbox to keep it consistent throughout and I am using the highlight colour red for this zine to tie it together. The reason is that I wanted to use the Kodacolour print stamp that was on the original photos I found belonging to my grandad and I wanted it to look like it was stamped on with red ink as it is on some of the photographs. The cyclist matchboxes feature a dashed circle around each face of the cyclist so I am also going to use that throughout the zine. A system is really coming together that I’m happy with now and Forma looks great big on its side!

Research - Project: Decade -1940s

In research class we were all given a decade to research and I got 1940s, so here is the information I found.

Some information on photography in 1940s:

1942 - Kodacolour made the first colour film, that yields negatives for making chromogenic colour prints on paper.

1947 - Dennis Gabor invents holography.

1949 - The Contax S camera is introduced, the first 35mm SLR camera with a pentaprism eye-level viewfinder.

          + more interesting things.

Some of the most iconic photos of the 1940s was:

(All the images are below are the images at the top of this post)

The Last Jew in Vinnista, 1941.

Raising the flag on Iwo Jima, 1945.

Dali Atomicus, 1948.

          + a lot more iconic photos.

Some of the equipment: for photography / camera ads of the 1940s:

Ansco Film Camera (1949), Twin Girl Scots on bike.

Kodak colourful photography, Glamorous Women.

Keystone K-160 16mm Movie Projector (1948).

This is a pictorial post about the Nagel Vollenda folding camera which was made by Dr. August Nagel in, probably, the 1930s.

My Nagel Vollenda camera

I picked this camera up from eBay uk for a total of £15 including postage.

I initially became interested in it simply because it is a folding camera and I wanted to increase the ‘folders’ section of my collection. However, once I looked at the pictures of it on the sellers ad, one factor made the camera much more appealing – in the picture of the back of the camera I could see the number 5 in the small red window showing there was a film still fitted.

The seller described the camera as having a couple of problems, namely the lens door catch is broken and the leather hand strap is held together with a piece of blue string, but I thought it likely that those issues could be repaired so I placed a bid in the last few seconds and picked it up for the £15 I said above.

When it turned up a couple of days later I found it is in reasonable condition considering its age (which is probably about 80 or more years old), but that the seller was accurate when he said the front door will not latch shut. There is also some green corrosion on the front support, some of the case material is peeling off and the shutter release has lost it’s terminal.

The good news however is that the fitted compur shutter is working well and although there is some dust in the lens there doesn’t appear to be any fungus. Also the bellows, which are a common failure point on cameras this old, are flexible and light tight.

The first thing I did with the camera, before I got too carried away with trying it out and certainly before I opened the back, was wind on and remove the roll of Kodacolour X film which was still inside. I’ll develop that using Stand Development and hopefully find at least a few old pictures on it!

Nagel Vollenda Description

I did a little research on the Nagel company because Nagel is not a common make of camera in the UK.

The founder of the company which manufactured this camera was Dr August Nagel, who was also one of the founding members of the Zeiss Ikon company which he left to form his own company in 1928. That new company was successful in building several cameras, including the Vollenda, and after being taken over by Kodak in 1932, became the manufacturer of several Kodak cameras including the Retina series.

When I first bought this camera I didn’t actually know the model was Vollenda – I just knew it was a Nagel because that is written on the front of the lens. It took a few internet image searches to find the same model and discover the model was Vollenda, although once I’d discovered that, I found the name is actually inscribed in the covering on the front by the handle.

As with most medium format folding cameras the design is very simple, being really just a shutter & lens assembly held the right distance from the film by the collapsible bellows. In the case of the Nagel Vollenda, the shutter is a Compur 8 speed unit and the lens is a Schneider-Kreuznach 105mm f/4.5. That lens and shutter combination suggests to me that this camera is probably capable of some quite nice results, especially since the negative size produced is 6 x 9 cm which is quite big.

To use the camera the front lens assembly needs to be extended by opening the front cover and pulling the lens out until two locks click into place when the lens is correctly positioned. After the picture is taken, there are two release levers on the back of the mechanism which allow the lens to be pushed back into place. I always think the folding camera is a remarkably simple and effective design, allowing a camera which takes such big negatives to take up so little space.

For focusing the camera has a rotating front lens element with a scale from infinity down to a little under 1 ft although there is no focusing assistance in the form of a rangefinder. The distance had to be measured or estimated and manually applied, or, more likely, the aperture would be set to something like f/11 and allow the depth of field to keep everything sharp.

To compose the picture there are two viewfinders. On the top of the camera is a simple frame which lifts up and can be used at eye-level.  Mounted on the shutter is a waist level finder which can be rotated to work in either landscape or portrait orientation, although it needs to be moved back to portrait for the bellows to close. Although the waist level finder is a nice addition I have to say I find it difficult to see anything in it – possibly the copy on my camera is simply too old and the silvering has degraded.

To set the exposure there is the Compur shutter and aperture arrangement, which offers a high level of control and shows that this camera was certainly a serious photographic tool at the time it was made. Many cameras at the time would have been simple box cameras with a single shutter speed and perhaps two aperture settings, so the 8 speeds + B + T and the 7 aperture stops makes a really impressive arrangement.

The shutter cocking and release is all mechanical and controlled by the photographer. There is a lever at the top of the shutter to cock it and another lever at the bottom to fire it, and no coupling to the film advance. When you use a camera like this you need to have a method set to either fire and wind or wind and fire and remember it so you don’t get missed frames or double exposures!

When the shutter is set to either of the longer settings i.e. Bulb or Time, it doesn’t need to be cocked but operates straight from the shutter release. For anyone not aware of the Bulb and Time settings they operate by just opening the shutter when the shutter release is pressed. In the case of Bulb the shutter opens until the release is, well, released, and for Time the shutter opens on one press of the release and then closes on a second press.

Just finished another roll on the Diana Mini, used expired kodacolour film too, I wonder how it's gonna turn out.

Been experimenting with way more studio stuff recently as the weather has been so much colder. This was shot using an Arri Redhead with a red gel in front, the light on the right side is just natural lighting from the window. Shot on my Canon AE-1 and either Agfa Vista or Kodacolour 200 film
