Snapshot of this old girl - finally gig-ready 35 years later. It’s still got the ridiculously low frets, but I’ve changed everything else - pickups, tailpiece, tuners, bridge, knobs, control pots. Nothing I can do about the 5.2kg in weight except wear a wide, fat strap. Amazingly it’s “weight-relieved,” and easily weighs a kilo more than my all-solid Tokai LP.
Meanwhile in the chest-of-drawers…
Colours and contrasts in the early morning shop run. The XE1 is small enough to take anywhere with me. That’s a HUGE advantage over modern SLRs.
This handsome boy has rediscovered his tower.
Geology pretty much stole the show. Crazy warped sandstone upthrusts in the early light. Millions of years and extraordinary pressures. And they’ll still be doing their thing when us meatbags are dust in the wind. Ok… so part of the nature of my insta for the time being is I only have telephoto lenses for this camera. And they’re all manual focus and I’m still getting used to everything so my ‘hit rate’ is not that great.
Tulip… Y u no open?
I did warn you…
This is Mr. Crumb’s sleepiest time of the day. And that’s saying something. Carrying the new-old camera around, but until I get my eye in, I’ll just keep posting cat pics.
Still playing with the XE1, natch. It’s old. But not as old as the last one I was using. So I don’t have to restrict it to bright daylight. This arm of the couch is Trinket’s current top fave evening spot.
I’ve finally got my little Fujifilm XE1 camera up and running and I’m so stoked to use it. I’m just going to explore using the in-camera jpegs for the time being. So here in testing is my old man - Prof Scott Millar to students who were amazed that any person could care so much about electro-cardiograms. In fact, he’s still at it. He’s working with a PHD student to develop an ECG app and I’m helping him put a little diagnostic ECG database together.
