This is a project that was inspired by a few different things, but mainly this video from Karin Majoka. I don’t know how long I’ll last, but I’m aiming for a year. As you can see from this website, I predominantly shoot film, however there won’t be much of that here, if any, due to practicality. I will try to vary the cameras I use a bit, but the main focus is thinking about photography more. I may sometimes also write some notes on a photograph if I have any, and will include what camera each one was taken on.
NOTE: This isn’t exactly the prettiest page for this project, I know. But I am currently working on rebuilding the website from the ground up, and I’d rather put more effort into that than designing a page for this that is hopefully going to be migrated soon. I will tidy it up if it gets too cumbersome though. I have noticed that the code for this website is much more of a nightmare than I remember.
I've been really enjoying using the Mavica recently, so I have a feeling there will be a lot of it for a while.
This is a photo of a test event for an old District Line train converted to use a fast- charging battery. I didn't take many photos of it unfortunately, I focused more on testing a camcorder that I was given recently.
I have a bit more to say about this one. It’s clear that the colours are quite strange here. This is because I actually modified (or mutilated) the camera. I may do a writeup of this in case anyone else ever wants to do it with a similar camera, but in short I opened it up following a guide for a similar model, then removed the hot mirror filter from the sensor. I didn’t have glass to replace the hot mirror with, so it isn’t perfect. Plus I guarantee I didn’t do a great job overall. But regardless, it is an interesting full-spectrum camera to experiment with. I plan to do more with it in the future, including things like IR pass filters. I will try and do something a bit more conventional tomorrow.
This is a camera I like a lot. It has a built-in floppy drive, which can be used to store photos on floppy disks. I was using the memory card today though for no real reason. The quality is surprisingly good on the photos it takes, obviously this isn’t the best example though. The reason I picked this photo is that I just like how this part of the Central Line looks. The style of the stations just looks really nice to me.
Nothing here for now, just for when I actually start trying to improve my editing.
Github - Nothing here for now, maybe there will be eventually...
