The Streets Of My Town / The House Of Tin And Timber

I found this rather quirky camera (or should I say this quirky camera found me), that takes what is termed as 'half frame' photographs. Like many people whom have discovered this particular format, it works exceptionally well at creating panoramas. This piece is a compositional exercise. The same building was photographed from different angles to create a street scene. The old Volkswagen was photographed in a similar manner and added to the series to compliment the street scene theme.

    Thank you!
    Due to the design of these cameras it is just about impossible to take bad photographs. The clever engineers at Olympus have an ingenious system build into the camera in whereby a red flag pops up in the viewfinder (and in turn, locks the shutter) when the subject is poorly composed. This very practical feature makes photographing in a panoramic style a doddle. :P

    Nice exercise and result. 24x24 and 24x18 give very different approach. I'm a Robot fan but mine is currently out of order .
    Thanks for your visit on my Home yesterday.
    Cheers,

    There are the early point and shoot model II, Junior and Star which are 24x24.
    Then, there are the Royal models: 18x24 (rare), 24x24 and 24x36. These are rangefinders and have continuous shooting mode.
    Here is review with pictures:casualphotophile.com/2019/08/08/robot-royal-24-camera-revie…
    Lenses are superb Zeiss and Schneider ones.
    Later the company was based in east germany and did traffic control systemsand crazy camera devices for the stasi secret services.

    Thanks for the comment and the interest in the images.
    I was lucky enough to be custodian for the ’65 VW Fastback pictured here for almost 10 years. Being the first Fastback variant, it is a very rare model here in Australia particularly with original 6-volt electrical system.
    The car has since been ‘snapped up’ by the director of Volkswagen Australia, given a full nut and bolt restore and is featured in his private collection.
