Bought some new #FerraniaFilm to try out. There aren’t that many photos taken with this film on here or Flickr, so I’m not quite sure what to expect. Now I just need to go somewhere interesting… 🥲
I’ve got a new camera! Pentax KX. Unlike the Canon Ae-1 Program, it’s fully mechanical. Everything seems to be in working order, except the focusing ring being misaligned and rotating past infinity.
Went to the camera store a couple weeks ago and there was an as-is Rolleiflex 6006 setup for $500. Three lenses, 50mm, 80mm and 150mm, spare film back, batteries that are completely dead, charger and case. Even if it weren't working it would be ok as a fixer upper. But I managed to get a new battery (3D printed modern replacement) and it all seems to be working great. #BelieveInFilm#photography
A fantastic end to the day on the Achadas da Cruz Promenade. I took this photo using my favorite film photography setup 🥰 ~ Achadas da Cruz, Madeira, Portugal 🇵🇹
Gear:
• Yashica TL Electro X ITS (Japan, ~1971)
• Yashica Yashinon-DS 50 mm f/1.7
• Kodak Professional Portra 400/36 (treated as ISO 200)
The image of the day is Delicate, an in-camera double exposure on film.
This image is part of my Photosynthesis exhibition opening tomorrow in Nantes, at La Lame Vernie Coffee in Trentemoult. It was shot during COVID semi-lockdown in Hong Kong, when both myself and Nelly (the model) had recently been through our stints of quarantine. That rough common experience brought us together creatively for a shoot I will always remember.
If you are in the Nantes / Pays de Loire area, I'd be very grateful for any amplification of the exhibition details.
