First thoughts on the Fujifilm GA645Zi | kevinthephotographer

https://kevinthephotographer.wordpress.com/2015/03/07/first-thoughts-on-the-fujifilm-ga645zi

First thoughts on the Fujifilm GA645Zi. March 7, 2015. Christmas 2014 made me the pleased recipient of a Fujilm GA645Zi. Thanks Santa; it’s amazing how you always know just what I want! Now that I’ve had the chance to run a few films through, it’s time to pass on my thoughts about the camera. To put this into context, I should state where this camera fits into the kevinphotographer ecosystem. Automatic aperture-priority exposure, with shutter speed and aperture displayed in the viewfinder. Manual focus i...

The £4.99 backup camera body | kevinthephotographer

https://kevinthephotographer.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/the-4-99-backup-camera-body

The 499 backup camera body. May 26, 2011. I’ve just bought this Canon EOS-300 (well, the body without the lens actually) for 4.99 including postage. An incredible price, and the seller gives a 14-day return guarantee. It’s a 35mm film SLR which was produced by Canon between 1999 and 2002. A very popular model, there’s always several for sale on eBay. Some of the features are:. Very light – the body weights 335g. Aperture priority, shutter priority, several program exposure modes, plus manual exposure.

Infrared at Crook Hall Gardens | kevinthephotographer

https://kevinthephotographer.wordpress.com/2015/06/09/infrared-at-crook-hall-gardens

Infrared at Crook Hall Gardens. June 9, 2015. After my recent foray into converting scanned colour film images into fake-infrared using Adobe Lightroom. The film was developed in Kodak T-Max developer for 5m46s at 21C in a Jobo processor, based on the times listed in the Massive Dev Chart, adjusted for temperature and continuous agitation. The venue was Crook Hall Gardens. There are some other shots taken at Crook Hall Gardens on previous occasions on my flickr stream. Tagged: "crook hall gardens". Equip...

A walk around Berwick with Fomapan 100 | kevinthephotographer

https://kevinthephotographer.wordpress.com/2015/06/04/a-walk-around-berwick-with-fomapan-100

A walk around Berwick with Fomapan 100. June 4, 2015. After my exploration of the rocks at Spittal (see here. The 35mm was the Olympus 35ECR which I have previously written about. Loaded with my first roll of Fomapan 100. My reason for the using the Olympus was, obscurely, that I had recently purchased and ran a roll of Poundland Agfa Vista through the slightly-similar Olympus 35RC, and that reminded me of the Olympus 35ECR and I wanted to check it was still working. Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, UK.

Kodak 66 | kevinthephotographer

https://kevinthephotographer.wordpress.com/2011/12/18/kodak-66

December 18, 2011. I aim to avoid making this blog one of those which are heavily biased towards reviewing, or even just mentioning, every new bit of camera equipment that comes out, complete with a link to an ecommerce site which will earn the blogger a few pence if the reader makes a purchase. I’m not one for constantly “updating” to the latest new camera in search of better images. And I’ve just been given half a dozen old cameras by my father. Kodak 66 Model III. I took the camera for a walk around B...

Location: Spittal | kevinthephotographer

https://kevinthephotographer.wordpress.com/2015/05/19/location-spittal

May 19, 2015. Despite living in the North East of England for a little over 50 years, I’d never visited Spittal until this month. Spittal is (arguably) a suburb of Berwick upon Tweed, which lies close to the border between England and Scotland. The thing that DID attract me to Spittal was an area of rocks just 30m long by 5m wide, consisting of highly weathered layered sandstone; I’d seen a couple of images from my flickr contacts. Answer – 2 feet). Fuji Velvia, accidentally under-exposed. After the roll...

One shot – Look over there | kevinthephotographer

https://kevinthephotographer.wordpress.com/2015/06/07/one-shot

One shot – Look over there. June 7, 2015. I don’t normally post blog articles which are just a single image, but then I thought, it’s my blog, why not? I took this in Plessey Woods, Northumberland, with the Fuji GA645Zi and Kodak Portra 400, converted to mono in Adobe Lightroom. Plessey Woods Country Park, Bedlington, Bedlington, Northumberland NE22, UK. A walk around Berwick with Fomapan 100. Infrared at Crook Hall Gardens →. 2 thoughts on “ One shot – Look over there.

Cycling through the Outer Hebrides, with camera | kevinthephotographer

https://kevinthephotographer.wordpress.com/2015/04/21/cycling-through-the-outer-hebrides-with-camera

Cycling through the Outer Hebrides, with camera. April 21, 2015. In May 2009 I finally got around to completing a trip I’d been planning for about twenty years, namely to cycle through the Outer Hebrides islands of Scotland, from Barra in the South to Lewis in the North. Of course, I took a camera with me and since every ounce of weight had to carried I wanted to keep the weight down. My camera equipment choice was:. One 35mm SLR – the very light Canon EOS300 which I have previously blogged about. I didn...

Equipment: Olympus 35 ECR rangefinder | kevinthephotographer

https://kevinthephotographer.wordpress.com/2012/05/05/equipment-olympus-35-ecr-rangefinder

Equipment: Olympus 35 ECR rangefinder. May 5, 2012. Here’s another old camera kindly donated to me by my father, the Olympus 35 ECR. Taking 35mm film, this camera has some features in common with the better-known Olympus Trip 35 – they are about the same size and weight and both well-built and dependable, with fully automatic exposure. There are two main differences between the two cameras:. Railway furniture at Tanfield Railway. Shed and bolts atTanfield Railway. Cobwebbed window, Tanfield Railway.

June 4, 2016. I’ve previously blogged about Spittal. Near Berwick upon Tweed, and noted the difficulty in getting enough of the rocks in focus when working at close distances. So, this seemed a natural place to return with the relatively new-to-me Shift-Tilt Adapter. For the Mamiya RZ67 and the 75mm SB lens. The film was developed at home in the Fuji Hunt C41 kit using a Jobo processor. Newer posts →. Using the Mamiya NI701Shift Tilt Adapter. May 28, 2016. A different developing tank and spirals.
