After a couple of months with way to much to, I’m back at this project and i will try my best to get back up to speed. So here is a few pictures from my second roll. As I just got started before real life took this roll is shot during Christmas. Camera: Pentax 645n. Lens: Pentax…
I’m a sucker for the holidays and even though they are long gone now that this is being posted, I thought you might like a peek into how my family celebrates. It was one of those days where the natural light coming in the house seemed just right for film. I think it…
As I get closer to that #52 goal, I’m getting more anxious about completing the project. The delay between shooting, processing and blogging has been a little bit of a drag for me so I feel like I’m constantly running behind schedule. No worries, I’m almost there — roll 48! Woo hoo.…
I hit the road the other day with the Yashica Mat EM and a roll of Kodak Portra 120. Nothing in particular struck me to photograph so I made a pitstop at a small park that has a even smaller but well-stocked trout pond. I thought I might get a few…
By far, one of my most favorite photo subjects is Lake Tahoe. I just live too close to this blue mecca to not be enamored with it. For my entire life, it has never failed to awe me with beauty. Even luckier for me, I have a few random work days that cause me…
Boy, it sure is hard to believe I’ve been doing this project for 1/2 a year already. One of main goals was to improve my technical skills and I think I’ve improved along the course of the year. But another one of my goals was to get out of my comfort zone and do more…
A new camera, a new hike in a state park I hadn’t visited before, despite it being rather close to my house, Machimoodus State Park. Machimoodus is a native word for ‘place of bad noises’. There are a lot of tectonic rumblings and every once in a while we get small earthquakes. I can recall…
Ugh. I had another camera experiment weekend and killed some film. Darnit. There goes $9 bucks worth of Kodak Ektar on 120. That seems really silly when I figured out that one of the cameras that I was attempting to test only cost me $3. The economics on that one…
A few rolls ago I talked about my adventures with a 120 roll back for my Zero 45 pinhole camera. I ran a roll of color through it for roll 16 and shot most of it at the Chinese Garden in Portland, Oregon. I really am liking these results much more than the black and…
Roll 6 was a disappointment. This is the only photo from the roll that wasn’t truly awful. For some reason my Mamiya 645af and the expired Holga 400 film I loaded just don’t get along. Probably because I shot most of the roll in very low light inside the house. Oh well.
One of my favorite medium format cameras got the nod this week, the Pentax 6×7 Mirror-Up SLR beast! *(Disclaimer… ALL of my medium formats happen to be “one of my favorite”… but I digress). 🙂 I picked up this system (frame, two lenses, hood, grip, etc.) some time ago and is one of the few…
Back to using cameras with actual glass stuck on the front for a change. Recently acquired two MF cameras that needed putting through their paces. The mighty Pentacon SIX and a Mamiya M645 1000s. Both of which I find I like. The Mamiya’s main issue is that is not 6×6 😉 We are experiencing…
