ChrisROut trying to make #trichrome in Holyrood Park today, I spent half the time I had, trying to unfold my travel tripod! TBF I've only used it once before. Once I finally found the trick to get my Vanguard Veo 2 into position, it worked a treat. Exposed 24 frames of Kentmere 100 though red, green and blue filters, so that should eventually turn into 8 colour frames, hopefully with lots of interesting colour glitches where things have moved between frames! #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm
Went out again today and finished my #trichrome roll at Dunsapie Loch. However this time I couldn't get the filter holder off... or, more correctly, the adapter ring that connects holder to lens. This evening I thought my pliers were winning, but it turned out I was unscrewing the front of the lens! Not sure how to proceed. Luckily it's a cheap #Vivitar28mm and I've even got a spare!
Luckily I remembered that Cameramatiks in Edinburgh does on-site repairs. Took my #Vivitar28mm in, it disappeared round the back, tap tap tap, reappeared, all fixed. No charge, a smile and a little talk about not cross-threading filter holders!
So relieved I bought a roll of #Scala and a couple of rolls of an #Adox ISO 50 film in 135 for around £8 a roll!
They also has a #Pentax ESII in for £299. With fond memories of my Electro Spotmatic, I was quite tempted... not this time!
