My lesson-of-the-day on Thursday was that the Pentax ES II might not be just a temperature princess, but like its owner, a bit of a princess-princess. For the first time since winter, I had one frame where the shutter just stayed open, and in a new twist, several frames where it underexposed. Before I knew…

The roll wasn’t totally burnt, just singed mostly. The photos above are the best I was able to get from the roll in scanning, but as you might remember, runaway/overdeveloped highlights are my real bugbear. Once again, this Wednesday, I had the privilege of being reminded that when your chemistry is warmer than 24 or…

When I shared the results from a Minolta XG1 I recently won in an auction ($10!), I was concerned that I had some concern that the meter was out and it looked like it was possible that it was underexposing a little. Part of this came from the results (thin negatives, but the rebate text…

As Monday gave way to Tuesday, the clouds rolled in, bringing the city back into its traditional Spring overcast conditions. Oh yeah, and by Wednesday, rain. As usual, Tuesday after work was time for electrolysis. This week marked the first week of the second pass. Since there is still so much to be done, I…

Although quite chilly, one bright spot on Sunday afternoon was having some delicious coffee with a lovely individual whom I had just met in person for the first time. Since the heavy clouds had rolled in, announcing the ☔️ April showers ☔️ part of Spring, I decided that my last roll of Ilford FP4+ for…

For my second roll exposed for the #FP4Party, I felt that the mostly overcast (and occasionally snowy) conditions called for giving the medium-speed film a little push. Not too much, just under 2 stops, but enough to give me the flexibility needed to avoid having to open the lens’s aperture fully. It was a familiar…

This year’s #FP4Party did not exactly take place in a season where our weather was at its best. Or even accommodating to making photos at all. The first roll I exposed for it was quickly-made and took advantage of an all-too-rare shining sun after work. In other words, I’m here at the potluck, but it’s…

It was nice to get out after lunch on Sunday. While I had envisioned a photo or two I wanted to make, I think our priority was just to move ourselves around a little and not get too stale indoors on a quiet day. We took a little loop through Centretown, sticking mostly to Gladstone…

Sunday afternoon was a positively gorgeous time to be out and about with a camera and a nice beverage and once I had lunch, I did just that! It was a rare solo adventure, with Kathleen deciding to stay back so that she could work on a quilt that she has been making to welcome…

After a restless night and a morning that saw me nearly pass out over a boiling kettle, I had to admit yesterday morning that, yes, I was indeed sick. I might even still be, as I wrote this yesterday evening while I still was. I hope not! Unfortunately for sick old me, I required more…
