LOMO’s New Mystery Camera
Posted at 12:45 pm | Filed Under film, lomo, photography, plastic
@lomography has been all (ahem…) atwitter about a mystery camera announcement this week. The folks at Tongue in Chic seem to have blown the lid off of the announcement of the Diana Mini, a half-frame/full-frame 35mm version of the cult classic Diana plastic camera. Half-frame cameras like the Olympus PEN were popular in the 1960s [...]

Miroslav Tichy, redux
Posted at 12:03 am | Filed Under art, film, photography
Miroslav Tichy is a reclusive artist who has resided in his hometown of Kyjov, Czech Republic, for most of his life. Born in 1926, he was a painter until the late 1960s, when he started taking photos, mostly of local women sunbathing, using equipment that he built himself. The cameras are made of cardboard, bottle [...]

I could never paint or draw to save my life, which is why photography intrigues me so. I still love to watch artists with a fair bit of envy, watch their process, and love the tools of their trade. Possibly Related Posts: Handlebar ABCDEFG tiny little box II Chairs/Fields Closed Doors

Light Test

Light Test is a collection of light test snaps from photographers. Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes when they’re getting the exposure right, testing out compositions, or just blowing off steam in the middle of a long shoot?

This is the first shot from a test roll of Fuji Superia 400 in my new LOMO LC-A+. I’m comparing pix to comparable shots with my ’90 LOMO LC-A and I’m pleasantly surprised by the similarity of the old Soviet lens and new Chinese lens. Taken at Lucky JuJu, Alameda CA.

Exposure-Mat, a free light meter (no batteries required!)
Posted at 7:54 pm | Filed Under film, journal, photography
I’m a big fan of the Sunny 16 Rule for determining exposure. Print film is forgiving enough that you don’t always have to get the exposure *exactly* right to get a good shot. The”Sunny 16″ rule, paraphrased, says, “Set the shutter speed to the reciprocal of the film speed, and set the aperture to f/4 [...]

Slow photo days
Posted at 7:55 am | Filed Under journal, photography
I have 3 rolls of film in transit at York photo. I don’t know how soon they’ll turn them around given the 4th of July holiday. That’s probably a thing of the past – film processors delayed by all of America rushing rolls of film capturing holiday parades, barbecues and attempts to photograph fireworks to [...]
