Monday, July 7, 2014. The family holidays are almost gone. We decided to cross the Tajo river and have a look at Lisbon from the other side, and also a little bit of beach time. Being lazy as I can be, I shot again with just my little XA3 camera and a roll of Polypan. …
via Year of Film – UNDEREXPOSED: Alternative Photography http://ift.tt/1eGan77 You all may remember Brandie and Nic from the Straight Edge Tattoo update a few months back. If you also remember I said I’d make it a point to get back to the shop once they were up and running. After putting out a call on…
In early July last year the whole Spotmatix family (and one extra boyfriend) took a plane and went on holiday for a week in Lisbon, Portugal. Here’s (one of the many) rolls that I shot during that holiday trip. I was using my Olympus XA3 again. Light and small… I was using it every other…
So we were happy to get the visit of a couple friends from Michigan last year as I was shooting this roll in my Olympus XA3. We did in two days some of the typical sightseeing (I guess) that many tourists do when visiting Belgium : the medieval city of Bruges, the Waterloo battle site,…
Long time no see… I have more than one year of backlog now. Am I still allowed to post these 2014 rolls? I’ll assume yes, if only for trying to complete the project and see for myself if I could keep up. I certainly did shoot 52 rolls but I have a hell of a…
Sitting in a 6×9 film holder for several months has been a roll of Kodak TMax 400 that I started, but never completed in my Chamonix. On Sunday I determined to finish the film for testing with my home brew paRodinal at a dilution of 1:25. If the resulting negatives were satisfactory, I planned to…
Here are more photos which I managed to salvage from the too-thin negatives I shot on this really outdated film I picked up for cheap. I sure wish I had overexposed them, so I would have had thicker negatives. It was my first year at OCF, and it was difficult, fun, and a whole new…
I attended a 3D Printing meetup in the University District May 16th. I brought a few of my 3D Printed pinhole cameras and some business cards and geeked out for a few hours with other 3D Printing nerds. Afterwards, Beehive joined me and we sauntered through the Street Fair that was happening. Lots of food…
I wanted to confirm that the camera was metering properly after my previous thin negatives using the old film. I could have just compared its recommended exposure with a digital camera, but I never got around to it. Instead, I just shot a few more rolls yesterday. I developed them at home in Diafine. They…
I should have overexposed this 1988 film by a few stops. Instead, I just shot it as-is, at ISO 400. I should have shot it at ISO 100. When the negatives came back, they were all really thin, which made for very grainy images. I got the film at $1.50/roll, 119 rolls of it, at…
A few months ago I received some parts for the Mamiya M645 Super that allow me to take longer exposures. The crucial piece was an adapter for a normal cable release. But I did not find a chance until a few weeks ago to give it a try. My apologies for having the same subject…
via Year of Film – UNDEREXPOSED: Alternative Photography http://ift.tt/1Mpfx5h Yes, I know. “shield the print immediately once it comes out of the camera”. I’m working on that. When I bought this box and another of color a few weeks ago I made sure I picked up a frog tongue at the same time. However it…
