Still digging back into 2014 for my last few rolls. I shot this Kodak Ektapress 1600 that came with a load of film and darkroom equipment. No surprise, its effing grainy. I am seeing a trend with this old grainy film where the close up, well lit shots come out sharp and nearly grainless. Get…
I’m not sure exactly what the count for this roll should be. It’s the third roll I shot for the project, but it covers the tail end of the same dreary day as roll 2. To be honest, I’m not even sure how to count the weeks: do I start with January 1, count up…
Somehow or other I messed up the developing of the HP5 i used, it was late, I may have added the fixer for 20 seconds and the stop for 3 minutes instead of the other way around. The result is that the freshly taken shots look old, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but…
I took my oldest kiddo to the metal supplier for the first time. His impressions, Forklift: GREAT! Noisy abrasive saw, I wanna Go HOME! This shot was taken before the saw was flipped on. It wasn’t louder than the forklift, I just don’t think he knew what it was. I think Nikon FA and Arista…
There is a printing shop near my house that uses antique presses. This is the oldest and maybe the only other copy outside the Smithsonian. I frequently shoot this press because its awesome. Between the press shop and my place is a rear alley view of this house which looks like its from Philadelphia or…
Only one shot on this roll was not too under exposed. It was all family shots over the holidays. It was still dark enough that the invisible dirt and water staining shows on the scan. Nikon FA not doing so well with TTL flash. Arista Premium 400
So this year I am not going to do 52-weeks… But 52-posts! However those posts fall.. 2 a week, 3 a week, or a few in a month. So long as I get the 52-weeks and it’ll be roughly 52-rolls, but not a roll a week. During the winter months I find myself preferring to…
Movies with Jony, breakfast with Maurice, walks along the river, and “alumni pep band night” at Mayville High. Leica M6ttl and 50/1.4 or 28/2. Shot on Ilford XP2, scanned at the photo-lab that processes my film.
via Year of Film – UNDEREXPOSED: Alternative Photography http://ift.tt/1CHBkzSIt’s funny to me how things work out sometimes. The roll that I loaded for this week actually ended up in the trash a few minutes after putting it into the camera. I realized that the film wasn’t advancing through the camera, popped open the back, and…
My week #5 roll is appropriately about shots made with a 5X macro setup. They are once again made with the Canon Elan 7N (aka EOS 33V), but this time hooked up to Canon FL/FD mount macro gear that I have been using with my DSLR. For (too) much detail about this setup see my simultaneously published post here which…
For week 4, I shot some portraits with my friend Justin. Along with Week 3, I had to hold off on actually getting this developed until I finally had a day off yesterday. I didn’t have time for real scans, but for now some iPhone scans will do. So, with that, here’s week 4, Justin…
Work has been getting pretty crazy already this year, which has led to my first backlog… I’ve been at least getting the rolls shot during the week, but holding them to batch develop once I have a day off. I still haven’t had time to do proper scans, but I feel bad waiting another two…
