I not only build cameras, I also have built my own tube amps.
This is a single ended ultra linear 2 x 10W amp, a Planar P3 turn table and a phono tube preamp. The CD player is a Kenwood from 1985 and still doing fine.

Anyone into high end tube audio? Here is a system anchored around the Jadis JP200 and JA200 Pre and power amplifiers. Massive electronics which is immaculately finished And very beautiful, sound signature. Photographed with GFX 50S II + GF50.

Absolutely. I remember building a Dynaco ST-70 and matching preamp back in the early '70s, and various other bits of tube gear over the years. Second best amp I ever owned was a pair of Audio Research Ref 600s. Amazing sound but the damn things blew tubes (which took out the driving circuits as well) fairly regularly and shipping a 200 lb amp for service was not a joyful experience.

The Jadis gear is lovely. Sadly, I never had the chance to listen to it and now, my old ears wouldn't do it justice.

Small objects from everyday life I like to look at in detail. I look for shapes, colors, materials and interesting angles in connection with light. Very often I then see details in a completely different context.

In factual photography, objects must be described photographically factual well. In product photography there is a little more freedom, in particular I can include other things in the picture that support the main character. In still life, practically everything is allowed, I do not even have to depict the actual object in its entirety to put it in my picture in a big way. So then happened with a small coffee cup that I found on the street.

Real steam or smoke from liquids is very problematic because it contains water and "always" looks dirty when backlit. Therefore, it is a good idea to create it differently.

This kind of smoke knows everyone unconsciously. It arises exactly at the moment when a candle goes out and a plume rises from the wick. So it must not burn but only glow. In the past, we simply took some tobacco for something like that. But that was a start-stop-pity action as I had to find out. Tobacco seems to have additives today (just like cigarettes) so that it goes out if you don't pull on it. I then experimented for a while with different materials - the best were my paper tear-off rolls from the gastro area. With it a small bead twisted and brought to glow, went in the direction of my ideas.

Due to the position of the cup, the cup itself achieves a certain dynamic and what is even more important - the smoke can rise in the right place. In the cup itself you need a small chimney (eg a small twisted aluminum paper roll) which is then attached with adhesive paste in the cup.

...and of course I like (as always) very graphic images.

My grandfather passed away when I was about 5 years old, so I have only a few very faint memories of him. Shortly before my grandmother passed away, almost 50 years later, she ask me to come over she had some things she wanted me to have. She gave me boxes of items that belonged to him, periodically I would get some out to photograph. All I saved on this imager was a .jpg with no metadata, but I believed I photographed with the same camera as the violin but it has been a little while. This was also a composite of images lit with a flashlight.

Lovely pic Greg. You know, you can get that fountain pen restored for next to nothing and using it will give you a feeling of connection.

As long as we are looking at ancestral things, this set of dominoes is the only thing I have from the generation prior to my parents. It belonged to my paternal grandfather. The harmonica was given to me when I was a boy, by my father. Well used.

This image shows the near field capabilities of the remarkable Rodie 138. I have included a BTS image below, so that we can check out the swing angle. Single plane, f16.
