What filters do you use?

Just wondering what kind of filters people here use and why. Personally I only have a circular polarizer which I've occasionally used with my Pentax 645. Mostly to cut down on reflections on windows. I'm currently considering getting some filters for my black and white.

Agfamatic 1000

So I just picked this up today, the Agfamatic 1000. Feel like a 1970s spy! I've got a few 110 film cartridges by lomography on the way in the post. Fortunately my local lab does 110 film.

Wondering how bad the resulting images will look 😅. Anyone else been shooting any 110 film in recent years?

Handed inn my first roll, got some more to experiment with!

So last week I posted about how I'd dug out my old 35mm camera bodies. I handed inn my first roll of Kodak 400 TX today and couldn't resist getting a few new rolls to experiment with. The Lomography Babylon film has only done 4 exposures so far, as I haven't had a tripod at my disposal.

I'd seen some cool creepy shots online of statues using a high grain film, and thought I'd attempt something similar, so I got Ilford Delta 3200 for that. I'll have to shoot in the late evening considering my shutter speed tops out at 1/2000.

Also been watching a few videos about the Phoenix colour film, and decided to give that a try, along with a roll of Kodak Gold.

My biggest challenge right now is which one to load up first. That got me wondering, how many cameras do people here operate at a time? Do you have several cameras with different kind of film loaded, or do you stick to 1 type of roll at a time?

I intend to start developing my B&W film myself soon, but I need to get paid at the end of the month before I start investing in the gear to do so. Until then Oslo Foto near where I live have quite a good reputation, and the price isn't bad considering I'll be scanning them myself.

Here's hoping I actually remembered to take the lens cap off my camera when I was shooting the Kodak 400 TX!

[Edit] I should probably emphasise. This isn't my first roll ever, as I did do film photography about 15 years ago. This is however my first roll now that I've renewed my interest.

Wish med luck everyone!

I did quite a bit of film photography about 15 years ago. Decided to dig my cameras out and try my hand at developing and scanning some B&W film.

I originally thought I'd bought the Lomography Berlin, but I now see I bought the Babylon which is ISO 13 😅. Guess I'm buying a cable release and borrowing a tripod for that one. Unless we get unusually sunny weather here in Oslo. Fortunately I have two camera bodies and loaded the other with Kodak 400 TX.

Will be interesting to see how badly these turn out.

Things you wish you know when starting out.

I've had a ROG Azoth (don't judge) keyboard for about a year now. Been using it for both programming and gaming, and I really like it, but there are a few issues (software being the obvious one). So I've decided it's time to put together my own keyboard. I started watching some YouTube and yeah.... I'm out of my depth here.

So I was wondering if maybe people could share things they wish they knew when starting out so I don't mess up to badly.

I've already found this switch tester which I figured would give me a general idea of what kind of switches might be for me. Other than that, I'm not really sure how to proceed 😅.

I'm not interesting in doing any soldering.

GOG seems to be considering paid membership option

Just did a GOG survey that focused on the idea of a paid membership option on GOG. Seems they're determining what people would be willing to pay extra for. Some of the options were

  • a tool for backing up offline installers
  • ability to install previous versions of a game
  • extra insight into the preservation work they're doing.
  • voting rights on games to bring into the preservation program.

And others that I can't remember.
