Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, test it out and see what works best for you! Or you can try **Firefish **(https://firefish.social).

Yesterday, I developed a roll of Efke IR820 medium-format film that has been collecting dust in my fridge(s) since 2010. There's a thread about the process, you can check it here: https://ohai.social/@elkarrde/110362348434411504

After a day of drying and a quick scanning session, some photos turned out very thin and not that salvageable.
But the photos that turned out nicely, oh boy, aren't they gorgeous!? 😍

🎶 The Essential Let 3 Playlist is here! 🎶
For all those who discovered the band with the Eurovision 2023 hit, Mama ŠČ, but also for all others, this playlist includes some of the most significant songs of the ex-Yugoslav area. The band's been playing for three decades, and yet, they've never "sold out". They kept pushing boundaries while still being true to their roots, their original punk-rock sound.

Let's do another one of almost-live film developing threads! This time, I have a roll of KosmoFoto Mono 100 film that I've shot in Olympus Shoot & Go R point'n'shoot from the mid-1990s. The camera has only one shutter speed, only one aperture, and there's no focusing, the lens is always focused at a hyperfocal distance.
I'll be developing this film in Rodinal, 1+50 dilution, and half past 10 in the evening already passed, so let's move fast...

My plans to visit friends on the seaside went askew, but that didn't stop me from actually getting to the seaside. Not as far, but still I've been to places I've never been before. Good that I decided to go yesterday, it's been raining today more or less constantly!

Phone photos only for now...

Ya know what I haven't done for quite some time? A live film-developing thread! The last time I did one was in August, and I developed 40 rolls in the meantime! 😁

So, let's start - first, let me gather all the stuff I need...

Like last year, the Croatian song had the catchiest tune of them all. Let's see if that'll be enough!

Back in September, I tested Praktica PLC2, a camera that's been sitting on a shelf for who-knows-how-long. Everything looked and sounded just fine, but the film turned out empty like no photos were ever taken.

There were a few explanations, the most plausible being the camera didn't catch and wind the film, and I concluded I'd have to test the camera again.

And, I did that a few weeks ago… [🧵 1/6]

After running another roll of film a few weeks ago, I still have no solid explanation for what happened the first time.

This time I got a few photos exhibiting some defects, but also a few photos with absolutely no problems at all! I was metering with TTArtisan light meter, I used two lenses, and a custom, short roll of film - 15 frames total. [🧵 2/6]

And finally, the last six photos look like this - the top half is empty! Ugh.😬

My personal favourites, in no particular order:

  • Croatia
  • Armenia
  • Austria
  • Ireland
  • Finland

Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Slovenia, Georgia also aren't bad, but those first five are just more catchy for me.

@futurebird That's always a valid question!
Here's weird trivia about the Croatian language. For naming months, all Slavic languages use either Latin-based names (so, similar to English) or Slavic names, based on what's happening in nature and work.

Croatian is one of those that formally use Slavic names, EXCEPT in informal speech - we NEVER call months by their names! We'll always use the ordinal number of the month - e.g. "3rd month" or just short "3rd". 😅
And nobody knows why.

I've been trying to clean a greasy spot from this pan, I've doused it with dishwashing liquid and warm water, I've tried with a degreasing foam, and finally with boiling water, but to no avail. Obviously, it needed some elbow grease (see what I did there 😁)! And, unsurprisingly, it went away with the application of some force.
Only, it wasn't just a greasy spot! Oops! 😅

Mental note to self: stop using degreasing foam as much, that stuff is aggressive.

I want to get back into photography but I'm not sure what are some good cameras these days. I used to have a cannon T5 and was considering getting a T7 because it's not super expensive but I am also curious about getting a mirrorless camera.
Any suggestions for hobbyist photography?

I primarily shoot food pictures for work, and various landscapes and such when traveling

elkarrde,
@elkarrde@ohai.social avatar

@HeyItsRosie any idea on the budget? Do you want to go the full-frame route, or smaller sensors (like in that T7) work for you?
Full frame sensors have a potential for less noise and more dynamic range, but it's only a potential, and equivalent lenses are always bigger, heavier and more expensive.
I've had a few Canon and Nikon full-frame DSLRs, but traveling with a big camera and a big lens isn't fun, so I got a Panasonic microFourThirds camera and a few lenses and wasn't disappointed!

elkarrde, to random
@elkarrde@ohai.social avatar

Somebody, somewhere mentioned small lenses, so I simply had to take a photo or two. 😅
Although I'll use whatever I have, I do prefer smaller lenses - it's easier to carry them around, they're unobtrusive and fun

49mm lens cap for the comparison.
