I accidentally bought a Nikon F100 from Ebay. I guess no one else wanted a camera with a scratched lens but it got even cheaper since the seller didn’t notice the wrinkled shutter and floppy meter selection switch. To test the shutter and other features I ran a roll of long expired Tmax 400 through…
Things have been busy, but I haven’t forgotten my projects. For week 6, I decided to try some redscale. I had intended to use my Lomo LC-A, but its single sprocket did not want to play nicely with my home-spooled film. In the end I settled on my Yashica Autofocus S. I have been trying…
via Year of Film – UNDEREXPOSED: Alternative Photography http://ift.tt/17DCiS2So by the time you read this, hopefully I’ll be feeling much better. This last week the plague going around Atlanta knocked me on my ass. However as I write this I am feeling mostly better, so that’s a plus. I have to also make a few…
A busy morning at Stone Creek Coffee, my weekly appointment with Mae, karaoke at Studio Lounge, and ice-fishing on the Milwaukee River. All with Leica M6ttl and 28/2 or 50/1.4 on Ilford XP2.
A few weekends ago I went out looking for stuff to shoot with a friend of mine and we happened upon a shop that has lots of metal sculptures for your yard. It was perfect for shooting with my Sputnik. I am part of a few traveling boxes of medium format 3D slides, and getting…
A friend lent me his Aero Ektar lens a while back. He had it on an odd hacked up Speed Graphic, which I used, but I also got a lensboard and put it on my Speed Graphic the way that most people do it. The appeal is the wide f/2.5 on 4×5 film, which gives…
My week 8 was busy with work, computer problems and getting out on the weekend. One very fun event was to go the Victoria première of a feature film Two 4 One playing at the Victoria Film Festival. I was invited to the reception, where I took these photographs. A synopsis of the film from its website reads:…
More coffee with friends – this time with Peggy, a little library, some after-school lecturing about photography, a meeting, and a Fat Tuesday celebration. Leica M6ttl and 28/2.
I could shoot with this all day. What a fun camera. We went down to Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood, and I shot 7 rolls. Pretty easy, with a new fun toy and the fact that it shoots long frames. So you get about 16 frames per roll. I was shooting some Ilford HP5 I’d just bulk…
Sometimes the best way to revisit a rather successful project is to give it a remix, in this case it was taking some of my favourite images from the project and taking them into the darkroom. Now in the past I haven’t had access to an enlarger that could print 4×5 film, however a recent…
I don’t go to concerts all that much. My taste in music always seems to be at odds with who is touring at any particular time. When I do make it to one, though, I am usually very happy that I went. This event was special. Its seeds were sown in the early nineties, when I…
I finally received my slides from an old roll of Velvia 50. I’m not sure what the expiration date was but these came out surprisingly well for being an old roll: Next up is a roll of T-Max 3200, expiration 4/90. I shot a friends show/birthday celebration and these were only of a handful that…
