8 Rolls of vintage 122 film rolled into the mailbox today!

Never have owned a Canon camera in my life. I've managed to go 56 years without ever shooting with one. Then today, the Magic Postal Truck drops off a package at my door. I have been gifted a Canon FTb with a 50/1.8 lens. It needs a good bath, and the leather case it came in is totally...

Yes..... EXIF data..........From images taken in 1977! Here's a history lesson for you young-uns'. Back when we were your age, cameras didn't record things like shutter speed, aperture, lens used, etc. We actually had to carry a notepad and pencil and *gasp!* write that stuff down! A couple...

.......... so 'can' I.

I knew perfectly well when I bought a Phantom 2 V+ last year I'd eventually crash it. And today was the day. My first crack-em-up! Fortunately, it was just a street sign, and it hit about 2' off the ground. Nice thick grass under it. Battery was ejected, and the video was lost. But I had...

Had an idea last night that I just had to try today. Instead of buying film to put in a camera, why not put in paper, develop it, then scan & invert the image? So this afternoon I cut up some Ilford MG to fit into the Kodak 3A, and taped it in place. The result: A 'paper' negative! A...

OK, so my 122-to-120 conversion of my ol' Kodak 3A Folding Pocket Camera is complete. Last thing to do was to verify the focus scale next to the rail was accurate. It was WAY off. So I corrected it by putting some wax paper in the film gate and opening the shutter to focus on a subject...

Claudia is the 9.99726-year-old granddaughter of my next door neighbor. This year (she will be 10 tomorrow!) she decided to follow her mother's footsteps and start playing softball. This afternoon was their first game. Naturally, I was invited to take some photos. To give you a little...

In case anyone has a few extra hundred dollars laying around: ILFORD PHOTO - Promotions

Well, the set is complete! I found my dad's old rangefinder a few years back and added it to my 'collection' of cameras. Last year, I began to wonder what kind of camera my grandfather used. I knew it was most likely some sort of consumer-grade Kodak, but I couldn't nail down exactly which...

Bored today. Tried something different with my favorite fireworks shots.

Had a little free time yesterday and was near the local brick-n-mortar camera store, so I stopped in to buy a couple little things. Turns out, they were cleaning up their "Old, Used and Ancient" corner. You know, the old 'dinosaur' stuff nobody wants any more. There was a large box of old...

Went out shooting film yesterday, with my Nikon FM2n and a 20/2.8 and 28-200/3.5-5.6 lenses. All shot on Ilford PanF using a monopod. Comments welcome. More to come!

I wanted to upload a VR pano today to pan0.net, only to discover it's hightailed it out of existence. Anyone know of another VR pano hosting site?

BA (for Boat Anchor, or Bad-Ass, whichever you prefer) is my RB67. Since today was a nice day (low 70s!) and I got done with work early, I headed downtown with it and a roll of film. It was supposed to be a leisurely evening of editing, but my computer got hijacked. So that killed about 4...

Yep.... another photo excursion! Since spring has yet to arrive with all her purty colors, it's b&w. Comments welcome! (More to come, so stay tuned!)

Spent a bit o' time today tooling 'round the road less traveled. Comments welcome!

When my dad's mother passed away in 1983 (his dad died in 1960), I took ownership of all the photos she had saved from before they were married until 1960. My grandfather was a very avid photographer, and was rarely without a camera. I have over 1400 of his film negatives alone, which I have...

Went and looked at a job out in the sticks today. Good thing I brought along a camera!
