  Heading to Amsterdam today for a week around the Netherlands and then a week driving across England. I only took my Z5ii and a 70-120, I sort of feel like I’m cheating on film…but after packing an ortho boot (I’m recovering from an injury caused by my tragically flat feet) and some local goodies for my old man English stamp collecting friends that I will be meeting up with, something had to give. I thought about wearing the boot to save space, but then I would have to wear it every time we cha...

  Philly airport for a connection. Soft pretzel, bacon/egg/cheese sandwich, and a Heineken (we are going to Holland, after all). $45. Every airport we’ve been to outside the US has food prices commensurate with those in the surrounding area. Is this another example of “American Ingenuity ™?”

  @tomnorthfilm@mastoart.social Have you seen the movie? I’m normally curmudgeonly about paying movie theater prices when at home I can pause, rewind, adjust volume, etc…but I’m seriously considering going to see this in IMAX.

  I love when I’m opening a workbook and Excel pops up a dialog box that says “Excel cannot open this file because a dialog box is open.” I click ok - which closes that dialog box - the only dialog box - and the file opens.

  @andre@mastoart.social I would enjoy the top half of this picture on its own, it’s a great subject… …but that reflection! 😍

  Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe fr...

  Took files to two of my film holders for an experiment after reading about this method as well as a few others. This one seems easier to use than the “binary notches that you have to hold up to a scale” method. I’m a little skeptical given I was supposed to file only the bottom layer of the bottom hinged piece - wouldn’t the top layer still mask the end of the film sheet? But no harm in trying! Round notches are 5s and triangle notches are 1s, so this is frame number 7. I just happened to...

  It worked!!! The rounded notches don’t look quite as round as I’d like, but I should be able to easily work on that. Might make the “5s place” notches square instead of rounded, to easily distinguish from the triangular notches…but as long as I know rounded is on the top and triangular is on the bottom, might be a moot point. I can also tell I need to take a wire brush or something to get a few remaining burrs off that the rocket blower didn’t take care of. Easy fix. I’ll be going through...

  Pleased overall with both the new notching system and 3 of 4 of the pictures themselves. Scanned at 1200 DPI and lightly edited in #Darktable (I removed a few dust spots, cropped, and upped the contrast very slightly). You can tell from one of these pictures especially that we are still in a pretty heavy drought. 📷 #CrownGraphic 🎞️ #KodakTriX 🧪 #HC110B 3:15 @ 24.8 C #FilmPhotography #AnalogPhotography #BelieveInFilm #DevelopYourOwn #LargeFormat #4x5 #Graflex

Determined that (and I should've thought to look this up before hand) Pixelfed cannot display text-only posts (which means none of the great banter with the photog.social folks that I've been enjoying) as well as the fact that pixelfed.social also appears to be defederated from mastodon.art, whose draconian policies photog.social w...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@65dBnoise/116221958925418771 I do not like you, Sam Altman, I do not like your shitty plan. I don't want all to be rental only, Or chatbots making people lonely, Or all the gallons of water used, Or higher energy costs ensued. I'll gladly watch creators sue, Because Sam Altman - truly - fuck you. #WrittenByAHuman

  Technically it's Saturday morning...but here's a late night #FensterFreitag. This is from a test roll I shot in a Moskva 5 that I got at a flea market and cleaned up.
