Finally got around to fixing my OG Tiltall tripod and used it with the Graflex to celebrate! Graflex Speed Graphic, Agfa CP-BU @ 25iso, 250mm Xerox bond machine lens. #believeinfilm #largeformat #photography #dogsky

Things got a little experimental when the film came off the roll and got all scrunched up inside the Holga . . . #believeinfilm #redscale #photography #trees #red #shittycamerachallenge
What appears to be a redscale image of a forest overlayed with an out of focus image of the sun on damaged film.

Testing out an old-timey style of flash operation since my Graflex lost its ability to do flash sync with the curtain shutter at some point. I stop the lens way down, open the shutter, fire the flash manually, then close the shutter. #believeinfilm #largeformat #doggo #photography

Found a working Minolta Maxxum 400si at the thrift store with a bunch of MotoPhoto 200 film expired in 2001. I'm not sure what the actual stock is but I really like the colors I'm getting from it. All shot at ISO 50. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #thriftfind #colorphoto #photography
I single red leaf on a bare branch. The Beast sleeping on a sheepskin The sun shining through dead beech leaves. Some white flowers in a blue vase.

Bought some 500T 65mm film, slit it down, and rolled onto a 620 spool to try in my Duaflex III. I just love this emulsion and shooting it at medium format removes a lot of the grain. #believeinfilm #IMAXFilm #mediumformat #photography
A dog sits in fall foliage. A moss-covered tree surrounded by fallen leaves.

Took The Beast and a newly thrifted Canon T50 on a walk in the woods! #believeinfilm #500T #fall #Trees #nature #maryland
Wildly changing (possibly ill?) maple leaves. The path covered in fallen leaves with blurry dog cameo on the far left. Trees growing across a small unnamed tributary of the Patuxent River.

Busted out the Kodak No. 2A for #folderweek which I think is the oldest functional camera I own and managed to get this shot with some #35mm Kentmere 400. #beleiveinfilm

Modified a Polaroid 800 roll film camera to take 120 film! Here's the first roll. Trying to fine-tune how many turns per frame I need -- I think about 3ish turns per frame will give me 6ish shots per roll, was doing 3.5 and only got 5 frames on this roll. #believeinfilm #camerahacking #mediaformat
I dog looks away from the camer down a long sidewalk. A dog sleeps on a couch covered by a sheepskin. Porcelain berries growing on a chainlink fense. Some kind of grass.

Looks like I’ve managed to degrease this old Agfa Karat 35. Film is 500T developed in C-41 Bleach bypass. #believeinfilm #camerarepair #rangefinder #vintage #photography

Went to the Maryland Renaissance Faire a while back and took the Minolta Autocord. Shot on some Kodak Colorplus that may have been slightly expired -- got some wierd color casts from it. #beleiveinfilm #filmisnotdead #mediumformat
