@schwa does the F2 have a film advance override button? Lets you wind the film advance so you can press the shutter again but it disengages the sprockets so the film doesn’t advance. Allows doing double exposures which can be fun :) (see linked post).

Just another play item for your film camera fun. https://indieweb.social/@alwirtes/109337175618649191

Always current with the latest fads… i played around with tilt-shift a little last weekend.

@schwa Had to go read what this was and read that it was built in to view cameras since the early days of photography and came to smaller format cameras in the 1960s.

So now I’m curious if you have a lens for a DSLR you are using or if this is a digital effect.

Thanks for introducing me to a new-to-me photographic thing!

@schwa LOL - Looks like you dropped and broke it! that’s indeed “wild” looking.

Sounds like a fun thing to play with.

Thanks.

Didn’t read but I sure hope SpaceX / Starlink company is paying for this and not us taxpayers… https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/112457475753592138

Getting desperate to stop Birdbrain from molesting my truck (nearly two months now!).

@schwa ACME Corp live bird trap for Birdbrain Robin that keeps attacking its reflection in my truck 🤬

Hanging mirror will hopefully get its impact, pull the fishing line that will pull out the stick and drop the weighted box down on top of it. Then I’ll drive it many miles away to a large park and release this menace.

@schwa Yah, your profile sums up the response to that.

Nope.

Sorry for all the espresso posts lately! To those here for the coding, Swift, and Apple posts — I pinky-promise more are coming soon 😄

@simonbs I don’t drink coffee or espresso, but it’s still been fun to see your experiments :)

First time making an iced latte and decided to add a few pumps of salted caramel syrup. As you can probably tell from all my recent posts, I’m very much enjoying making espresso-based drinks 😄

My boss got sick of me bringing in prints from home off my Bambu Lab printer and comparing them to our Enders so he said “Fuck it!” and ordered two Bambu Lab printers for the office.

    @schwa One priceless image away from it not mattering what you’ve spent…

    @schwa Used to be able to buy film in 100 foot long rolls and refillable film cartridges and that cut the cost down a lot. If you want to go down that route, I’d be happy to mail you my bulk roller and the cartridges I have left. There’s likely even some amount of long-expired (30 years?) Kodak Tri-X in the bulk roller :)

    GeekAndDad,
    @GeekAndDad@mastodon.social avatar

    @schwa Ha! Great point. I definitely take more photos with digital than I did with film - and I took a lot with film.

    GeekAndDad,
    @GeekAndDad@mastodon.social avatar

    @schwa @Bluedonkey Actually not that much cheaper looking at B&H pricing. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
    Used to be back in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s.

    GeekAndDad,
    @GeekAndDad@mastodon.social avatar

    @schwa It’s definitely fun. I played around a lot in my dad’s darkroom and then the high school darkroom. Nikon FM camera and a cheap lens I bought in a pawn shop. Did a lot of senior yearbook photos and just a lot for fun.

    GeekAndDad,
    @GeekAndDad@mastodon.social avatar

    @schwa Sounds great.

    The success rate is vastly different when shooting active subjects vs taking a “walkabout” at the right time of day and paying attention to light and shadow and taking the time to compose one’s shot. For the former my dad used to figure one great shot per 36 exposure roll was doing well. Expected much better for the latter, unsurprisingly. :)

    Sounds like a fun and excellent endeavor!

    Wonder why iPad Pro's get along w/ just 8GB of RAM? They don't run Electron apps.
