More views from Downtown Denver: Probably the best from this roll. Denver has many glass buildings, so it is a great place for reflections. The State Seal. Colorado was admitted to the Union in 1876, the Centennial Year for the United States. So its nickname is the “Centennial State”. The “C” on the state flag…
It was lovely and bright here on Saturday morning and as I had not finished the rolls of film I was shooting this week in my Olympus 35RC or my Mamiya 645 I needed to shoot a roll to be able to post this week so I chose some Kodak T-Max 400 and my C330…
In the quest for the best 3Dprintable pinhole camera, the Schlaboratory Mindtrust have released the source files for a clever little box that anyone can assemble. The body consists of four interlocking parts, with a greatly reduced vitamin count. In a nod to tradition and practicality, Gaffer tape replaces bolts for a number of assembly…
Hello one and all! It’s been some time coming but I’m ready to share my 52 Rolls work to date. Hope you’re in a forgiving mood. I made a resolution this year to not shoot anything aside from some slide and infrared film at box speed. What I should have said, is that I wouldn’t…
In December 2014 I decided to apply for 52rolls. As all of us here, I would commit myself to shooting (at least) 52 film rolls in 2015, develop them or have them developed, scan them, edit them, and put them up on the blog with little essays I would write for each. To my own surprise…
I began this journey the simple way. The way that all journeys should start, with one foot put in front of the other, with small wheels turning, with the expectation of adventure and experience. I packed a small camera, one without many settings and options, and I used a trusted, simple, honest film. I took…
Looking back over the past fifty (by gad, fifty!) rolls, it’s kind of amazing how many turned out ok. How few issues I had. Sure, there was a film or two that had suffered from being frozen and thawed and refrozen when I moved from one apartment to another, but mostly that could be fixed…
It was here at 52rolls when I first heard about stand developing. And I was curious to try it out. So here are the results. Technical Details: Yashica Electro 35 GN, Fomapan 200, pictures taken with ISO 200, 400 and 800. Developed in Adonal 1:100 for 1h, with short agitation at 30 minutes. First…
This post is off theme a tiny bit, as it’s about a scanner rather than photos, but rest assured, photos were taken this week, and will be shown. No doubt you’ve had the time consuming pleasure of scanning film. I’ve had some Epson scanners, which are great, but maybe I have some film which doesn’t…
Tillamook OR, shot, developed and printed during week 4 of 2016. Kodak Tri-X Developed in Rodinal, Printed on Ilford Matt Fiber Paper. Hasselblad 500CM + 80mm Planar
Well, this week was equisitely frustrating. Of course I haven’t done my tax return early again and I also had a child at the end of the tax year, so come the end of January I’m usually a smidge stressed to say the least. So I decided to do something simple this week. How wrong…
Months ago I posted a roll shot on a trip to Bonn. I had posted it late, much later than usual, and thus called the little essay I wrote for it “Out of Season.” Since life got in the way of me scanning and posting many of my rolls since last September, I guess all…
