First shots with the Kodak Reflex were a bit of a mix with light leaks from loading the film, and spotty emultion - but! cool photos overall and a good test of the camera.

One of my submissions for the #kodakbrownie international brownie camera days!

Black and white photo of a wooden bench on a small snowy hill in front of a stand of trees. The trees are quite dark in the image, though they do not have leaves. The bench has an organic shape, with legs a bit askew.

A photo of my camera digitizing a film photo of my camera digitizing a film photo (plus one of the photos at the bottom of that nested clause)

A black and white image of half-frame images on 35mm black-and-white film being “DSLR scanned”. The right image in the scanning frame shows the dslr on as tripod being used to scan a separate roll of film.

A black and white image of a festive evergreen wreath and banner thing hung across a street between old brick storefronts in a Midwest downtown.

A quiet lake scene from fall of 2023.

#believeinfilm

A black and white scene of a lake with a forested bank forming the midline of the image. The trees are reflected clearly (though distorted) in the lake, making an almost symmetrical image.

Another photo from my #boxcamchamps Hawkeye for the #shittycamerachallenge - this chandelier is in a cool indoor lobby atrium kind of place, unfortunately my framing wasn’t great.
🎞️ Film is Kentmere 400
#believeinfilm I think is the hashtag?

A black and white photo of a hanging light fixture with railings and higher floors above and behind it.

Another pine tree pic to add to the collection: pines lining a walking trail. Shot on my Kodak Hawkeye No. 2 (a true #boxcamchamps camera and fitting for the #shittycamerachallenge).

🎞️ Film is Kentmere 400, probably over- or under-exposed

A gravel trail dividing rows of pine trees which fill the black and white image. The trees are uniform in size and densely planted, with sparse branches lower and fuller branches closer to their tops.

Downtown before the holidays, shot on a Kodak Hawkeye No. 2 box camera. Might be the first and/or only #boxcamchamps entry in the #shittycamera challenge, I'm happy with it though!

Film 🎞️ is @ilfordphoto.com Kentmere 400 (if they want to include it in #fridayfavourites 👀)

More pine content to add to the #shittycamerachallenge - same camera and weather

A photo showing the upper branches of a pine tree. The branches have clusters of short, green needles. The sky is a pale blue with the sunlight hitting the tree from the right.

Pines are cool trees.

Nice pop of color on a cold winter day taking photos for the #shittycamerachallenge on the Lumix DMC-TS10

An image of white pines looking up towards the canopy. The pines are partially silhouetted with the branches bright green to yellow in color. The sky is a pale blue between the branches.

Posting some tranquil art: Photographing 2024’s fall comet was a pleasant way to spend a couple of evenings.

A photo of a camera on a tripod against a backdrop of an evening sky showing a comet. The horizon is a tree-lined plane behind a body of water, with plants silhouetted in the foreground.

It’s -5 here but the afternoon light is just gorgeous with the snow. Some better-exposed instax shots to add to the #shittycamerachallenge

An instant photo of a pine tree with sparse branches looking up the trunk. The background is a rich blue sky.

An instant photo of a snow-covered grassy clearing with trees along the back end. The snow has a hilly texture with grassy clumps poking through, and the trees are largely bare.

Bonus second #shittycamerachallenge photo: Some unseasonably warm weather from back in December. Shot on the TS-10, shows some of the softer focus and struggles with dynamic range this camera can have in contrasty scenes.

A natural scene with trees on the left and in the background, a woodchip-covered trail in the foreground, and a small river on the right. The trees are mostly bare aside from some evergreens close to the camera.

A small office building that's all corners.

Shot on Lumix DMC-TS10 for the #shittycamerachallenge

This might actually be a pretty good camera :)

A white stone two-story building with a rounded front entrance against a clear blue sky. In front of the building is green landscaping and a leafless willow tree.

Exposure on Instax is a bit tricky it seems. Woods probably aren’t the best spot to figure it out, but made for a nice walk.

Couple of pics for #shittycamerachallenge

An instant photo of a snow-dusted trail through some woods, predominantly pine and birch trees. The picture is under-exposed so there is not much detail in the trees.

An instant photo of a boardwalk in a clearing in a wooded area, with bare birch trees in the background. The boardwalk has a dusting of snow on it as does the ground. The image is over exposed with the sky quite bright.

Today’s #shittycamerachallenge photo: downtown on Instax Mini. Picture looks about 40° warmer than it was

Working on re-seating the viewing mirror on this Kodak Reflex - fun winter project! Also looking for options to replace the cracked viewing screen glass.
