The first one in this 365 days project! This is one of my cameras I use for this project. A Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16 6x6 medium format folding camera from 1949. That is about 65 years old! It has a 75mm f/4.5 lens. This camera has no light meter so you have to guess the camera settings or use some external light meter.

Cheese export and wholesale. Old building in Akkrum.

Some of the chemicals used to develop film. Hopefully a bit environmental friendly. This photo looks simple but it wasn't. It was a low light situation and no flash. So long exposure time. No tripod so hand hold. Also the DoF (Depth of Field) is very shallow. About 8 cm. And there is no way with this old camera to check if things are sharp. So just a little guessing....

Suddenly, the road to my office was blocked.

Somebody has put a wreck in the street of my office. Wreck? Well at least a boat with some "work".

Woudagemaal in Lemmer, The Netherlands. With the yellow logo of National Geographic. That is now grey.

The ir. D.F. Woudagemaal is a pumping station in the Netherlands, and the largest still operational steam-powered pumping station in the world. On October 7, 1920 Queen Wilhelmina opened the pumping station. It was built to pump excess water out of Friesland, a province in the north of the Netherlands.
In 1967, after running on coal for 47 years, the boilers were converted to run on heavy fuel oil. It has a pumping capacity of 4,000 m³ per minute. The pumping station is currently used to supplement the existing pumping capacity of the J.L. Hooglandgemaal in case of exceptionally high water levels in Friesland; this usually happens a few days per year. Since 1998 the ir. D.F. Woudagemaal has been listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.
