ok i would like to clarify it has to be music and it can't just be a short song that's been looped a bunch. that still counts as several songs in one file, it's just several of the same song in one file. no audiobooks no podcasts no plants vs zombies theme 2 hour loop

Early Summer Already?

Had one frame of this roll of Fomapan 200 left so tried a long exposure of the dog on the couch.

Metered at 8 seconds, rule-of-thumbed the correction and gave it 16s.

Checked with a reciprocity failure calculator afterwards and I would have been right with Ilford HP5, which I usually use. Fomapan 200 wants one minute and eight seconds for a metered 8s exposure.

So, probably just a blank frame, then

Do you have any recommendations for affordable cameras to get into film photography?

everyone tells you to learn on a Pentax MX or an Olympus OM-1 but I heartily recommend getting a Praktica MTL because it’s cheaper and way less reliable

[eleventinygreenbirds]

Both the Olympus and the Pentax suffer from the fact that their popularity makes them expensive, and the fact that they're expensive means that people flood ebay with broken or barely functioning examples because they'll still go for a worthwhile amount of money.

In the UK I advocate for the Chinon CE series: the CE-4 and CE-5 especially. They're Pentax K mount, have stepless electronic shutters in A mode and manual modes, and the Chinon built lenses were genuinely very good. They were distributed in the UK exclusively by Dixons and priced aggressively so: everyone thinks they were an own brand or rebadge and therefore not desirable, and there are a ton of them about. I have three, none of which I paid more than £10 for and all of which work perfectly.

The earlier CEs (CE, CE-II, CE-3) are M42 mount, rarer, and are (except for one obscure Cosina) the only SLR bodies I'm aware of that can do aperture-priority automatic exposure with standard M42 screw mount lenses. Perfect if you want to point and shoot with that Zeiss Jena Tessar or Helios 44M.

Send your characters to Versailles. Like they were supposed to go to Versailles, France, but now they're doing the bourbon trail.

they might enjoy the bourbon trail, actually

[eleventinygreenbirds]

The bourbon trail in Versailles, France has a different emphasis

Was looking for a pocketable tripod because I find myself trying to do long exposures at night so often and discovered that Minolta made this thing

The Mini Robo pocket tripod

It looks like a transformer I love it

[eleventinygreenbirds]

I love medium format

I can blow this thing up until it's two feet wide.

1:1, straight digitisation, only adjustments are the white/black points.

These are from an Ensign Selfix 16-20 folder, on Kentmere 400. Not even the version with the fancy Ross lens!

"why is tumblr how i found out xyz" because you check your social media first thing in the morning instead of like. checking the news. hope that helps

[sandersstudies]

“Why is nobody talking about this?” This story was on the second page of every major reliable newspaper.

Helpful tags from @majestictoroise

Really wanna emphasize those last two tags here, because I think this is in fact a part of what generates these kinds of “why is no one talking about this (major news story)/why did I find out about this from social media” reactions.

[eleventinygreenbirds]

I have been trying out weekly news magazines, because it's insanely expensive to get a daily newspaper, but having something physical arrive at a set frequency has really helped me tamp done on obsessively doomscrolling.

Part of it's just the knowledge that I've consciously offloaded that curation of what's important to someone else, part of it's having something lying around to idly read instead of jumping onto social media.

These are large African Catfish. Reason there is large plastic sheet over them? Because they learnt to bump the tank and knock food into the water. Now, if they hear/smell food, they will pop their heads up like so.

[marinebiologyshitposts]

literally a kind of dogys

[eleventinygreenbirds]

at first glance I thought the plastic sheet was planking like on a pier or jetty which is a difference in scale which gives this video a wildly terrifying aspect
