We have that lovely lake around here. It takes us just fifteen minutes to get there by car. The lake itself is not too big. There´s a path that leads around it and if you decide to go for a round you will have made it in about an hour without hurrying too much. The lake is made for…
If there is one thing that is great about the reenacting hobby is that it gives me a chance to explore the area where the battles I reenact were fought which are part of the story of not just the country of Canada but the Province of Ontario. Prescott, Ontario is one such community that…
So – this week is an odds and sods week. This roll has been in my EOS 3 for the best part of a month but I finally finished it this week. It is also using some odds and sods of film Orwo N74 rated at 400 and devved in XTOL 1-1. I’m not particularly…
One more this week that is worth a few ones. Again in Abrantes, Portugal, sunny winter morning, looking at urban texture with my DIY 6×17, charged with beloved Delta 100, developed in PyrocatHD. Camera on tripod, yellow filter up front for contrast and add some weight on the sky. The way these large format lenses…
I’m violating my declaration that I’d use a different camera every week, but I’m really enjoying this Fuji GA645w and the new Lomo Instant camera. I had taken a few shots with the Fuji using a flash before, but I wanted to see more of it, and see how well it might focus in low…
I bought a set of 10 rolls of Svema 250 on eBay and it’s been an interesting experience. It curls like crazy so it’s very hard to get in onto a reel for developing. And scanning is a challenge. I exposed it for ISO 100, developed it in Fomadon 1+50, and scanned it with Epson v850.
The only thing that saved me from getting hopelessly behind was that I ordered a package of Impossible duochrome green film to try. It’s still in beta testing. I took two shots about two weeks previously, and liked the effect but didn’t like that the emulsion looked blotchy. I decided to shoot the rest of…
Sorry to post some of these pictures again, but you seem like a friendly bunch…
This is my second roll exploring the Holga Fisheye. I’m still figuring out what focussing range yields the best fisheye effect. In the future I will try a side-by side comparison of a real fisheye (my Minolta 35mm) vs. Holga fisheye, but we are not ready for that yet……. We’ll start at the Golf Course. Not…
Due to a busy time and the dreaded man flu I am a tad behind with my 52 rolls project. I am pretty well up to date with the actual shooting of the films but the processing and editing has taken a bit of a backseat. This weeks set was shot with my Nikon F100, 50mm…
Structures, Textures, Patterns and… Crystal Vibes? Well, this is technically roll 8 and a half. The roll that I actually shot for week 8 ended up with horrible scratches on the negatives from frame 6 to the end of the roll. I about cried. It was two strikes this week. After talking with some people,…
So those of you that have been following my 52rolls will know I am no fan of Tri-X. However, I said I would keep trying it as the other 99.99% of film shooters who love it can’t be wrong. Well time for me to Tri-x some humble pie as I shot a roll in the…
