Breaking News: Camera company releases new camera. Influencers worldwide are calling it a must-have "everyday carry" relegating the previously recommended one (just six months ago - which was doing just fine) to the bin. Meanwhile in the real world the used market remains a great place to find bargains that meet 99% of photographers' needs at a fraction of the price. It also helps ever-so-slightly in the reduction of environmental waste, too.
In @evildmp ‘s keynote at #PyConIT2024 he showed us his love program about #camera - maybe my idea of a #gelato flavour generator program yesterday night is not that crazy at all 🍨
Tested my 4x5 reducing back for the #GameBoyCamera last night. Still can't shoot in the daytime, until I get a print done in black. However, it's wild that this is from a toy #camera from 1998.
This week, Kwabena Agyeman spoke with Elecia( @logicalelegance ) and Chris( @stoneymonster ) about optimization, cameras, machine learning, and vision systems.
Playing with the toy instant #camera with thermal printing. Discovered settings for density of image just for a few of the last ones. Gives a bit more contrast.
Help, Mastodon! What's your fav camera &why? (I do wildlife, mushroom detail occasional sports photos) I have a Panasonic DMC FZ28, which I ❤ but want a bit of an upgrade. Trying to decide whether to try a different company or no.
Under or ~$600 😬
Made a mount for it that hangs back and aside, so it can double as handle, the camera can stand up straight on it and the access door for the USB connector of the camera isn't blocked.
It took ages to figure out a position which enabled all of the above, but then that's why you make your own kit.
Works pretty well and happy with the result. Satisfying amount of salvaged parts, too.
