Wild oyster fishers travelling far to make a living this spring
The spring season is underway for wild oyster fishers on P.E.I., but it's a challenging one for many. Two diseases that kill oysters have taken a toll on rivers in the western part of the island, so many fishermen are travelling hours to eastern P.E.I. Nancy Russell reports.

left-handed photography

First and foremost, I really miss the film negative borders on my photos, it’s a shame !

And now we can talk about the patterns that repeat themselves in life...

Of course, we find ourselves back in the same places time and again in life, because we enjoy being there, for example. Because we just can’t help ourselves! I’d tried to take this photo before https://pixelfed.social/p/LievenSymaeys/875611795484792730 because it’s a place where all the fishermen who have lost their lives at sea are honoured and remembered.

The smallest camera I own is the Yashica Electro35 MC

So I’d tested it beforehand to see if I could actually operate it with my left hand.
It was also the first time I’d used colour film in my tiny little Yashica

So I’ll show you a selection of these tests

The lab in #ghent I’ve been using all my life (and get very little credit for) has had its full-frame negative scanner break down. So I’m missing my proof that I don’t crop my photos… sorry about that !!


It’s an unbelievably small and charming little #camera… #analog is timeless. #filmphotography #ishootfilm #grainisgood #film #yashicaelectro35 #colorfilm #kodakgold #kodak #hospital #surgery #lefthand #bandage #seaside #nieuwpoort #fishermen #art #statue

In #NewEngland, Catching #Climate Data Along With #Fish
#CommercialFishing vessels are deploying high-tech sensors to map a shifting sea, providing critical data for scientists and some help for the industry.
Bob Hersey Jr., a Maine lobsterman is among nearly 150 #fishermen who have installed temperature sensors on their traps or trawl nets from Maine to North Carolina as part of a program run by a nonprofit organization with help from #NOAA.

Minolta Hi-Matic 7s
Let's show a new collection of a film camera buy and test !

https://pixelfed.social/c/941673768178836872



When I look through the folder containing the photos I took with this camera,
it’s clear that I had it with me on a work trip for a while. So we spent a few days in #Nice as well
#mediterranean #france #provence #boats #fishermen

Years ago, I bought a Hi-Matic 7s.
Luckily for me, I was able to buy my collection of cameras before the analogue revival happened.
So I was able to buy loads of cameras for around 20 euros each .
It’s always nice to test something out with film ! I always had something to test with in my bag.
I even did some model photography with cameras I was testing using expired film and so on...
You don’t actually need much to use a camera.
You’ve got your film, your subject, the aperture and your shutter speed.
