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/2024-10-17-latergram-from-our-holiday-in/ Thu, 17 Oct 2024 10:06:27 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-10-17-latergram-from-our-holiday-in/ <p>from our holiday in Knysna with <a href="https://instagram.com/ezlemoen">@ezlemoen</a> (pictured dispensing wisdom) and <a href="https://instagram.com/sophdex">@sophdex</a></p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-10-16-its-been-a-while-since/ Wed, 16 Oct 2024 12:01:09 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-10-16-its-been-a-while-since/ <p>It’s been a while since I shot film. 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. The unique <a href="https://instagram.com/hello_sailor_bistro">@hello_sailor_bistro</a> wisely closed just months into the pandemic. Another from a roll of film that I just left on a shelf for years.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-10-15-processed-some-brutally-neglected-rolls/ Tue, 15 Oct 2024 21:19:02 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-10-15-processed-some-brutally-neglected-rolls/ <p>Processed some brutally neglected rolls of film that were sitting exposed on a shelf since well before the pandemic…</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-11-06-hers-n-his-all-ready/ Tue, 06 Nov 2018 14:02:19 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-11-06-hers-n-his-all-ready/ <p>Hers &rsquo;n his. All ready to roll. Two of the most elegant cameras to emerge from the genius of 20th C Japanese engineering. On the right is my Pentax MX, available from 1976 - my birth year - which I&rsquo;ve used since 1993 and has been all over the world with me. On the left the Olympus OM4 which came out in 1983. It&rsquo;s an electronic marvel compared to the all mechanical MX. I got it for <a href="https://instagram.com/withoutaleaf">@withoutaleaf</a> to document #setlife .</p>
