11Nov11

So popular it must be trending on twitter but its 11 11 11 (don’t mention the ’20′ bit) so here’s my almost violent contribution to this binary moment featuring Osaka Bondage by Naked City. Naked city were a collection of very talented musicians that often played thrash, death metal, jazz, jazz funk, muzak and or [...]

What’s Been a Going On?

I’ve been shooting Digital quite heavily at the moment as I’m low-ish in portable film stock (35mm) and the film camera I’ve had with me this week hasn’t been the best choice since the weather has been so dull. 100ASA film in a camera as fast as f8 isn’t ideal in dull foggy weather. This [...]

Pin-holio

After perusing ‘The Bay’ for large format cameras I quickly saw my error in judgement. You’re expecting to pay at least £130 for a Graflex Crown Graphic 4×5 camera with no lens or anywhere from £250 plus for a 4×5 camera with a lens so I’ve started to look more seriously at the Harman Ilford [...]

Film Photography

I’ve got a roll of 120 Portra 160 in my Mamiya Universal to finish, then I’ll maybe take out the 1937 Zeiss Ikon Nettar with the other roll of Portra 160 I have or I might use up some of that Ilford ISO 3200 or 2300 to see what that looks like. This might kick [...]

Halloween Snaps

Here are a few snaps form the Halloween party at the weekend past. I had my Polaroid 104 Land Camera with me but didn’t take many shots with it (that came out) because I spent most of my time chasing around and dead-lifting 3-10 year olds throwing them into a netted trampoline. In the process [...]

Regulette, Viewfinder Camera (Gas Man, I got Gas)

The Gas Attack continues! – An interesting looking German viewfinder camera bought for around £6.71 on ‘The Bay’. I’ve loaded a roll of colour 35mm film that expired in 2006 to test it out. The shutter appears to work well though slightly sticky on Bulb, focus and aperture feels smooth but the only slight negative [...]

Mijonju Show, Rangefinder General

I found this guy’s channel on YouTube and although he’s a little bit manic his videos are fun to watch and appears to be be quite knowledgeable for his seemingly young age. He loves rangefinders too. -

Olympus Trip 35, Made in Japan 1967

Here’s a few snaps of an Olympus Trip 35. It was made in Japan around the late 1960′s, designed as a point & shoot with the aperture ring used primarily for flash photography (according to the manual and the aperture ring). The auto mode does depend on you setting the correct ASA speed of your [...]

Photographing Conflict

An interesting short clip regards ‘war photography’. Mildly gruesome.
