A little disappointed (not really) at the moment. Picked up a Canon Powershot G12 from Kamerastore which was supposed to be glitchy with random lines and distorted colours, but my first test was definitely not glitchy. However, just for a change the infrared red/blue channel swapping was awesome, so silver linings.

... It's been amazing, all of his recent films have a 'look' about them. Blade Runner 2049 is another example. That was breathtaking, too.

... There is one, called 'Dune, part one: The Photography'. It's a bit pricey over here (PT) but there's a much more reasonably priced ePub version. I'd always prefer the paper version, personally. I assume there'll be another for Dune, part 2. But yes, it's incredible design and photography.

World Pinhole Photography Day 2024 with the Thingyfy Pinhole Pro S
About a month ago, on 28 April, it was World Pinhole Day, and although I submitted my entry to the WPPD website I forgot to make a post to remind me of my little sojourn in the fields behind our house. I happen to have the worst pinhole lens ever created, perhaps the worst lens ever created, the Thingyfy Pinhole Pro S.

... My last attempt ended up with a roll of Lomochrome Turquoise getting jammed in the beastie. Still, got to use the Sprocket Rocket again so not all bad.

A change from the usual ... been practising loading the KMZ Horizont with a wasted blank film these past couple of days. Making sure the film is wound tight before closing the back. #TeamHorizonT #Horizont #Panoramic

Making trichromes and aerochromes with the digital Frankencamera
After completing the digital Frankencamera I was writing a rough blog post to summarise my experience and went back to look at the first images produced with the Genius 8MP digicam. It wasn't that long ago but I was blown away by the digital aerochromes and trichromes that the Genius produced. So I thought, why not see what the digital Frankencamera can do?

... We're holidaying in the Maldives in October (once in a lifetime holiday). My plan is to take my digital camera and travel tripod and at least try for one night sky shot.

... You should check out the wonderful #SilentSunday night shots of @npub1chw…crv5. He's not done any for a while, but they're really stunning, and from what I understand are tripod mounted on a Sony DSLR (right, Bill?). https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonart/media_attachments/files/111/911/538/425/663/070/original/66930263fd7c878d.jpeg

The day the Frankencamera went digital
A while ago I made myself a Frankencamera from an old 1920s 6x9 folding camera with a 1980s Polaroid back attached. Into this I could fit one piece of Instax Wide film and, after a little messing around, produce a single instant print. Mind you, I always found this process limiting. I couldn't really travel very far, it was time-consuming to set up and, at the end of the day, most of the exposures were failures.

Another 100-year-old folding camera: This time the Stölma II, a 1920s folder from Scandinavia
Following my failure in the search for a rear viewing screen suitable for use with the KW Patent Etui with the Ernemann Heag, it was back to the drawing board. Mind you, it wasn't long before another folding camera turned up on the Kamerastore website, and this time I thought I might be lucky. The Stölma II folding camera was made in the 1920s and sold by the Swedish importer…

‘It’s all wood and paper!’ The Ernemann Heag 00 folding camera
I received a new (to me) folding camera recently, the KW (Kamera Werkstätten) Patent Etui. It's a fabulous little folding camera and is really compact compared to normal folding cameras of the same period. However, instead of a ground glass viewing screen the Patent Etui came with a 118 roll film back. To use the camera properly I really need a decent ground glass viewing screen, so I came up with the idea…

A test run with the Kodak Duaflex TTV Contraption
After completing the Kodak Duaflex pseudo TLR camera and Nikon Coolpix 5900 digicam combination it was time to take the Contraption for a walk in the woods and fields behind our house. Of course the first series of images I took with the Contraption was of my favourite tree and well just across the road. I also tried to make trichromes and digital aerochromes with the Nikon digicam set to black and white and using…

Through the Viewfinder Photography with the Kodak Duaflex Pseudo-TLR Camera
When I started experimenting with Through the Viewfinder (TTV) photography, many of the articles I found about the technique referred to the Kodak Duaflex pseudo-TLR camera as the ideal choice for TTV because of its brilliant viewfinder. At the time I couldn't find a Duaflex at a reasonable price and settled for the Ferrania Elioflex pseudo TLR camera coupled with a Nikon Coolpix S8000 digital…

... 🤣 ... Actually, I've just realised I've missed a trick. If I had built the Contraption so I could still open the back of the camera I could have a device which took film and digital at the same time!

Here we go. The completed TTV Contraption (with a filter thread) containing a Kodak Duaflex pseudo-TLR. Securely fixed to the top is a 5MP Nikon Coolpix 5900. The images aren't that bad.

The problem with the Duaflex compared to the Ferrania Elioflex is that after a good clean the images are a little too good. #ThroughTheViewfinder, #DigitalCamera, #TwinLensReflex, #WaistLevelFinder, #TTV, #Duaflex, #Contraption,

The #FrugalFilmProject, May 2024: In Oliveira do Bairro with the 1920s Generic Folding Camera
After some success with exposing Instax Wide film in the 1920s generic folding camera, I really couldn't wait until May to try my technique again and I actually took these images last week, during April. As I've already made two posts in April, I hope that you won't mind if I hold these over for the May entry? As we were in Oliveira do Bairro I thought it would be nice to try…
