Games That I MissedI grabbed a free camera (a Canon PowerShot Pro1) off Freecycle, picked up a non-sketchy replacement battery from a local store for 30 dollars, and took it out for a walk today to learn how to use it.
I know this technically would have qualified for the #shittycamerachallenge, but it really does take nice photos! The 8x optical zoom is double what my cell phone can do, and the sensor is a comparatively massive 2/3. It's fun to mess around with.
Spotted this #graffiti, which I like.

Eid Mubarak! Also happy Persian new year! Spring is here, just budding. Still too early for most flowers in NYC. Camera: Debonair #toycamera. Film: Arista Edu Ultra 200 (same as Fomapan 200), D-76 development. Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. I like this film. I like its grains and tones; I did not need to do much editing if any after histogram stretching. If I were to bulk load BW film, I would do Kodak Double X and Fomapan, because they look great and bulk loading saves a lot of money (bulk loading Tri-X doesn't really save money).
Science in action -- I can use developing film to teach kids about the scientific method: last time I found a mysterious light leak affecting one side of the image. Hypothesis 1: my Debonair camera has a light leak, so I taped it up more. Hypothesis 2: actually the location of the light leak on landscape vs. portrait photos is inconsistent with a light leak in camera, so I think it might be a very small light leak in my Paterson tank. The slight light leak is only noticeable in very under-exposed regions where signal to noise ratio is low after histogram stretching. I made sure that the funnel clicked in place so it's not loose. I also flipped the reel before putting it onto the center column. What I observed: last time that light leak always occurs at the bottom of the vertical photos. This time it's still observed (though I fixed it digitally), but it's at the top. It means that it comes from Paterson tank light leak; it switched sides because I flipped the reel. And it's not because I didn't click the funnel in place previously. Hypothesis 3: I think it might be because of the overhead light, so next time I'll turn off the light.

Draco MetalliumMy cat Abo on 0.1MegaPixels!!!
I did a silly thing and bought an old webcam/digital camera.
It can store just 38 "high definition" photos (352x288), or 152 low definition (176x144) photos.
I hope I can take at leas a few cool photos with this.
