I recently converted a cheap, partially broken, E-PL1 to be full spectrum sensitive by removing the filter that cuts UV/IR light. Despite this being a relatively cheap and old camera, the 12-ish megapixels combined with the razor sharp 25mm (50mm full-frame equivalent) honestly delivers plenty of detail.

Made using an IR converted Olympus E-PL1, OM System 25mm f/1.8 II lens, and a 720nm IR filter.

Settings: f/8, 1/400s, iso 200. In order to get these results, I had to do some edits. SOOC it looks like this (with custom whitebalance):

So, uhhh, yeah. Why process Phoenix II in black and white? Well, let's call it a happy little accident. The lab messed up and thought that it was black and white film. After the initial confusion, I was very surprised that there were somehow photos here. After finding out what happened the lab did a bit more to it, presumably to make sure that it remains stable.

Too bad I didn't get to see what Phoenix II actually looks like, but honestly this experiment was nonetheless very interesting. Apparently when you process it as black and white film, you basically get Phoenix but in black and white.

My second attempt with Harman Phoenix 200, this time I metered most shots around 125 or 100 iso, which worked quite a bit better. Though I still had more under than overexposed shots.

Also, I'm very much a telelens person. This was another instance of me forcing myself to shoot with the wide-angle prime. I would've loved to see the 50mm version of this shot

My first time shooting a film stock with an insane iso like this, previously I hadn't gone for anything higher than iso 400 and mostly colour. I also pushed myself a bit out of my comfort zone with the 28mm, as I rarely feel comfortable shooting below 50mm.

Somehow this was the only shot of the roll that seemed properly exposed, with many others mildly or wildly underexposed. I've since checked the lightmeter of my XG9 against other references at 3200 iso (or rather 1600 iso -1 stop because the XG9 doesn't support 3200 iso). But unless I push it way harder than I'd ever do irl, I see no fault there. Edge markings and this shot are also fine, and the camera has previously behaved normally, so it was probably just a skill issue somehow.

Probably taken with the 50mm prime, but maybe with the 28mm. Scanned using my Olympus EM-5 Mk II with the Olympus 14-42mm pancake zoom. Processed in Darktable.

This film was very hard to scan, because there's absolutely no reference. Is the water/sky too cyan? Idk. But I like the colours in this image.

I'm amazed at how this ended up. Most of the other low-light shots with this camera turned out as a complete blurry mess. It's not sharp by any means, but with the conditions and a moving carousel it went quite well.

Scanned by hand using my Olympus EM-5 Mark II in the sensor-shift super resolution mode. Slightly downsampled because of the image size limit.

Tried my hand on a fair bit of editing, which I usually don't do that much. Hopefully it isn't too over the top :3

My transition to full on Linux gaming mostly went okay, but recently I've started running into some issues with more demanding games. In games like Cyberpunk 2077, Stalker 2, and inZOI I sometimes get KDE and/or Wayland crashes when the VRAM runs out. In Cyberpunk I can avoid it by not enabling RTX, which is fine. But Stalker 2 and inZOI are basically all-in on raytracing and therefore seem to also fully eat up my 8GB of VRAM.

Is there any way of constraining the games to like 7.5 GB or something? Because they seem to actively work to stay below 8GB, so clearly there is still stuff they can clean up. And even if they'd go over the limit, I'd prefer the game to crash rather than basically having Wayland restart, losing everything I had open. I'm curious for you experiences

So as it turns out, photographing moving cars while manually focusing and with relatively little light in the shade is quite hard. This one was quite sharp, but some others failed a bit more

Location is the Twente Rally in the east of the Netherlands

Finally some sun again :) Shot with my Canon EOS 40D and my dad's Cannon 70-200mm f/4 L lens.

Bonus sheepies:

Shot with my Canon EOS 300, pretty much directly into the sunshine as God intended, using Ilford HP5 plus 400 iso black and white film.
