One of the few old yellowwood trees that survived the clear cutting. There’s been a lot of replanting and preservation to try to undo the damage of colonial exploitation of resources - the same kind of exploitation still going on full-tilt in Central Africa.</p> <p>This is another one from my expired film test in Knysna back in September with <a href="https://instagram.com/sophdex">@sophdex</a> and Jinty and Jinty’s wonderful kids.</p> <p>This was also the first real test of using the F100 with the modern 24-120 stabilised lens - getting sharp results at 1/15th of a second handheld. There are only a handful of Nikon film cameras that can use stabilised lenses. Quite a few Canons though, I believe.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-10-25-congratulations-you-now-own-the/ Fri, 25 Oct 2024 12:31:49 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-10-25-congratulations-you-now-own-the/ <div class="swiper carousel-container"> <div class="swiper-wrapper"> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="18047803627963637.jpg" alt=""> </div> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="17879095965169183.jpg" alt=""> </div> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="18028358552381403.jpg" alt=""> </div> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="18031396085520259.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> <div class="swiper-button-next"></div> <div class="swiper-button-prev"></div> <div class="swiper-pagination"></div> </div> <p>“Congratulations!

Processes for sharing them have changed and I’ve forgotten some things. So I’m doing a little testing. Despite everything, when I have a perfect exposure (1/500th at f6.3 for the sun) and a stabilised lens, and boost the sharpness and balance the colour, the results are good even from a flatbed scanner with a very, very expired film. So I’m eager to see the results using a digital camera copy with a new film.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-10-15-faded-memories-of-things-passed/ Tue, 15 Oct 2024 21:26:57 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-10-15-faded-memories-of-things-passed/ <p>Faded memories of things passed away.
