Fishing for Keepers

The original motivation to get the Mamiya RZ67 was the lenses available. Such as a fisheye! Woo woo! These are all shot on Fuji Velvia 50 slide film.

Some shots

I really am enjoying this camera. Here are some more shots from it. They're all shot on Kodak BW400CN 120 film. Yes its cheating. No i don't care.

This picture deserves explanation. The living room was being painted. Rather than lock the cats in the bedroom (no litterbox, no food, no water), I tried to contain them in the area that included their room and the bedroom. The dresser wasn't enough so I kept going until the cats stop appearing on top. This is what it eventually took.

I'm posting the image below because it took it seconds before this one, but it was overexposed about two stops. This film is pretty good at overexposing and keeping detail and grain structure. I'm really impressed.

Digital loses more ground

Since selling my digital camera stuff, I've refound my enjoyment of computer projects. Before I would feel like I needed to be editing photos or something. I'm not sure what I thought or felt, but I just was sick of computers for the most part. Now that i'm shooting film more I've taken some time for side computer projects and am enjoying it again! Film scores again.

Cell phone cameras being put to good use. for once.

Have a cell phone with a camera on it? Make good use of it! You can download a barcode scanner that will read barcodes into your cell phone. You can get website links, contact information, text message commands, all in a picture that can be photographed and interpreted. Its genius!

Feeling nerdy?

I've started a second blog about some of my nerdier works. This blog is all about my computer work, and what I'm doing for fun in my free time. Its The Unix Blog. Don't be surprised or disappointed if it reads like Greek, it might be a good thing.

Failure on a small scale

I tried to do some macro shots with the new camera because it has built in bellows, but my depth of field was too shallow and the bees weren't cooperative.

The Girthy Beast

No really, its huge. Really huge.
