the vintage large format camera is FKD http://photohistory.ru/1207248174899423.html it was a soviet studio camera made up to late 80s still good to photograph if found in good condition
we had all gotten sunburns that day actually it was a photographic group meeting outside of Moscow some 100kms north at a riverside
Those are magnificent old cameras! Have you ever seen tin type photos? They were the going this around the Civil War time. Film photos came along about that time too.
You had a nice day for the photo group meeting. We have had much Autumn weather even in August. It is the first time for us since weather records have been kept. Now we have 81F but nights cool quickly.
80F in september is too hot for my taste for sure today we have had 65F and it is my maximum comfort temperature in the city a couple degrees more and it becomes all sticky i am already missing northern warm days at 50F ж)
I love that camera in the first one! It reminds me of the early photographers who rode on horseback eg to the shootout between the Kelly gang and the police. I see it fastens to a modern tripod.

I like the guy in the field taking photos :)
The guy in photo 3 may get sunburned with his very light skin.
Are these photos from the weekend celebration going on in Moscow?
