It even worked! I definitely need to make a better lens and the framing and exposure was all vibes based but it’s still amazing to me that I made this and then was able to use it the same day!

This morning I 3D printed a camera, this afternoon I went out and shot with it!

This is the terraPin Cameo, a 6x9 medium format pinhole camara. I used part of a monster can (obvs) to make the lens and a piece of developed colour film for the window

I got sent a video on making pinhole cameras from trash, at the time I was having my breakfast monster and I got... inspired

I didn't have the right film and I completely yolo'd it... but it WORKED!

It was just one swan actually... 😆

One of the only photos without a light leak on a recent trip to Fountains Abbey to test the Zenit 12S.

Hopefully new seals fixes it!

Well, the #Holga delivered what it promised on a recent walk in the #YorkshireDales 😆

I like these photos, the pink duct tape clearly influenced the light leaks, which is awesome.

Another from the #FilmRescanProject, taken at the first #Rustival event.

The owner of this very cool 1925 Austin was happy to pose with his car. To spite using an old camera, it was 30y newer than the car

For a camera that’s up to 75yo… without real focus, shutter speed or aperture control… she did okay!

This is the *first* film photo I took (well 2/3rds of it) on my first film SLR. I actually kinda like the fact that some of the frame is cut off

I’m going to post my favourite photo from each roll as part of my #FilmRescanProject.

I took this at Runswick Bay, I had just got my first rangefinder and missed focus a lot, but this one turned out well!

I’ve got the scanning setup dialed in and ready to go (Sony A7R III, Pentax-FA 50mm macro, Valoi 360)

This time I am actually going to use negative lab pros metadata and log the film stocks, camera info, etc

Hopefully I can end up with a somewhat organised digital and physical collection 😅

All of these are the rolls I’ve developed myself, so about 50 in all. I don’t cut them as they are much easier to scan as one strip.

I do plan to re-scan and then cut / organise them all in to folders.

After shooting film for about 18mo and having 0 organisation of my scans or negatives I’ve decided to finally tackle the job…

This is my negatives box… 🤦‍♀️

Took the photosniper body for a test today. I was going to be somewhere crowded I left the stock and 300mm lens at home 😅

Pleased to report that the body works just fine!
