Well, here we are. I made a big scanner purchase. BIG! This scanner came in, after tax, at $1,200! This is definitely NOT an entry level machine and will require some prior knowledge or some on the fly learning. Can you guess which we fell under? HEHE. After some anxiety wrenching torture of installs, and... Continue Reading →
Below are the photos we took with the iPhone 12 pro and the Canon EOS 650. We both shot in auto mode with the exception of me switching the phone into mono mode. I shot in 2X mode and the lens on the Canon was a 50mm lens. The only editing that was done on... Continue Reading →
Disclaimer: This is not so much a lesson, as a journal entry in our film developing process. It was the first time we developed using household chemicals, so there's much for us to learn. Still, it is hoped that you gain something from this. Special thanks to Daniel Keating for sending this starter kit. -Nick... Continue Reading →
Earlier today Nick and I did a little experiment. We wanted to know if there really was a difference between the CineStill Df96 Monobath and the 4 step Ilford process. We did a fun little video that I will link below, but for those who like to read, this one is for you! 😉 Nick... Continue Reading →
This beauty is the Pentax 645! Created as an entry level camera for wedding photographers, it is a medium format single-lens reflex system camera. It was introduced in 1984, along with a complementary line of lenses. It captures images nominally 6 cm × 4.5 cm (hence the Pentax 645!) on 120, 220, and 70 mm... Continue Reading →
Can you tell I have a cat!? The official Amazon listing had this labeled as the "Holga 120 WPC Panoramic Pin Hole Camera Wide Format Film Lomo Camera Black". A bit wordy for a 120 film panoramic pinhole camera, but that didn't stop me from clicking this beauty into my cart and to my house... Continue Reading →
I have only ever worked with 35mm film and, aside from various sizes of polaroid films, this has been the only film size I have known. As we have been finding older cameras that take 620 film (which is no longer in production), I found that you can use medium format 120 film (Ilford PANF... Continue Reading →
When I bought this camera off Amazon, Twin Reflex didn't mean anything to me. But over the course of putting this kit together, I learned quite a bit. This is our review of the Holga Recesky Twin Reflex Camera. First thing! A Twin Reflex camera is one where there are two lenses, one for the... Continue Reading →
I first heard about Ansel Adams my Sophomore year in high school. His most famous photograph was called Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, but the first piece I saw of his was called Monolith, The Face of Half Dome, 1927. Ansel was born February 20th, 1902 and died April 22nd, 1984. He got his first camera... Continue Reading →
This is film and this is why you should do it! Currently we shoot 35mm film. Film is a thin piece of plastic that is coated with silver halide crystals and gelatin. We can get into the science at another time but that is the quick description of what film actually is. The image to... Continue Reading →
