It takes a lot for me to turn on autorotate on my phone but Bill's anamorpharamas always do.

So much GAS.

@givemeabiscuit.bsky.social Interesting things afoot at the Sainsbury's store!
Christmas themed biscuits in the cake aisle at Sainsbury's. A custard cream with a gingerbread filling and a bourbon with a chocolate orange filling.

@warboyssnapper.bsky.social Can you remind me what the device/sheet for testing exposure on 4x5 is called? I think you place it over the film and photograph a middle grey card?

Sometimes, the intrepid photographer must pass the safety barrier and straddle the clifftop boulder to get his image. No matter the cost to his whatnots.
A man (me) doing exactly as described. I am straddling a boulder on the edge of a cliff. In the distance you can see a sea loch far below and hills in the distance. To my left is the safety barrier I bravely circumvented to get a bloody bush out of my shot.

Nice of my car to come with a camera slot in the door.
A small black camera sits, lens first, in the cup holder of my car door. You can only see the back of the camera and its strap.

Happy Dapple Season!
The low morning autumn sun on the quarry tiles in my hall, filtered through the garden trees.

I cannot fathom eBay sellers who allow you to make offers but never counter a low ball offer. Why decline?! Your item isn't selling at that price!

Saw this, thought of you.
Farcebook screenshot. Photo shows a picture of custard creams and bourbon biscuits sitting in a puddle of gravy. Post from Kiwi EV Adventures reads: 'Now that I'm in the United States it's only fair I finally try biscuits and gravy. Gotta say, I'm not sure what Americans see in it.'.

Me: Oh good, a wee minute to myself. I'll have a play with the Smartflex.

Also me: Grabs camera, a lens, a roll film back and sits down on the sofa.

My cat:
A slightly out of focus tabby cat looking up at me from my lap. Just out of reach is my new camera and associated bits. The cat always wins.

There are few things funnier than Leica owners/fanbois getting angry at a new camera.

Even funnier than film photographers getting annoyed at the price of new cameras.

No one is making you spend all that money my friend.

Mandatory first photo I guess. Not sure if it qualifies for Polaroid Week...

Happy New Camera Day to all who celebrate!
A poor camera scan of an Instax Wide print. Photograph is of the photographer reflected in his wardrobe mirror. A large 4x5 SLR on his lap. His bald head is on view because he is looking down onto the viewfinder of the camera.

It's here. It's freezing cold. I'm going to have to leave it in the bag for a few hours. Boo. Also yay!
My new Smartflex camera, in the lovely camera bag it arrived in.

Email from Smartflex Camera saying that my camera has already been shipped. I am excited!

OK. I am going to need photography related patches. Lots of them. Anyone know any good sources?

Now I am picturing a metal-style Photographers Battle Vest covered in patches.

I am going to have to start a photography patch collection!

Would this be cringe enough for you @mredthompson.bsky.social?

The Dundas Pole jutting up against the blue sky, half lit by the morning light. The view down North St Andrews Street towards the brightly lit north side of Edinburgh. A tram turns onto York Place. The Dundas Pole from further back, the tram wires crossing above it in the sky. The National Portrait Gallery, one tiny corner of a spire lit up in the sun.

The view down George St to St Andrews Square with the statue of renowned slave baster Dundas silhouetted against the sky. Similar view onto St Andrews Square with the new modern buildings reaching up to the morning sky. The old Royal London building at the end of Thistle Street brightly lit in the morning sun against a deep blue sky (with added light leaks). The old IBM office across the road from the Royal London building. Like a lot of St Andrews Square it's a hotel now...
