I usually stay away from people when I shoot. If I catch someone’s eye, maybe I smile, but I usually try avoid eye contact, if I can help it, and I almost never think to ask for a portrait on the rare occasions that I interact with strangers on the street.
Porta 160 at 320, outdoors and in
I’m not sure what it was I read, maybe this post on the MastinLabs blog, but I decided to shoot a roll of Porta 160 at 320… I’m not sure I see a huge amount of difference between 160 and 320, and I didn’t a/b it or anything, and I haven’t shot a huge amount of Porta 160, but I think I prefer it pushed a stop.
This isn’t an in-depth post or anything: just a couple of random shots. Sorry in advance if you were looking for or expecting something different. Continue reading “Porta 160 at 320, outdoors and in”
Yashica Sports Finder fail…
When using the sports finder on your TLR, remember that, much like the viewing lens, it doesn’t show you what the taking lens sees, and so you need to make sure things aren’t protruding into the frame, like the strap did here.
:facepalm:
#summerfilmparty, pt. 3: RetroChrome
The July 2017 edition of the #summerfilmparty comes to a colorful, patriotic, end with a nice roll of FPP RetroChrome 320 (now, after further testing, known as FPP RetroChrome 400).

The Sprocket Rocket loves light. I mentioned this before. So Labeauratoire [kromiəm] 500 plus bright sunshine (and bright color) at the 4th of July parade should be just about perfect…
And it was! Continue reading “#summerfilmparty! – pt. 2: SPROCKETS!”
#summerfilmparty, pt. 1: ISO 6 at the 4th Parade
Mr. Brown, ISO 6… There are slower black & white films out there, but not in my fridge. I shot a roll a few months back with good results. It’s July in TX, so there should be plenty of sun, and the 4th of July means a little small town-type parade in Irving…
Sounds perfect for the second installment of the #summerfilmparty, right?
Eh. Continue reading “#summerfilmparty, pt. 1: ISO 6 at the 4th Parade”
Unboxing Photoscouting
I don’t remember where I came across PhotoCorps and PhotoScouting. PhotoCorps is a grant funded community photography workshop/training/community thing, started by Chris Glass, and based in Cincinnati, and PhotoScouting is a sort of workshop: “21 exercises to make more intentional photographs, explore neighborhoods and connect with people.”
Now, even though I’m ~1000 miles away, I probably need to do more of all of that, so I picked up a copy of the Guidebook, and one of these days, I’ll work through it. Continue reading “Unboxing Photoscouting”
