This may be my favorite shot out of my entire three-week vacation.

One of the most difficult places in the world to get to. World's smallest democracy (though it is a British Overseas Territory). We met about 2/3 of the people on the island the other day. Just two square miles a thousand miles from anywhere, basically. Or, as we did it, three days west of...

Haven't been posting much of anywhere of late, had a busy summer. Nevertheless, my urbex class is going to have an exhibit. There's 21 possible pictures and 30 possible people to show. So -- not sure if I'll get in or not, but I'd really like to. Wish me luck! We had a really looooong...

Okay, sometimes you've got a photo and, for whatever reason -- you blew the shot. I mean not like a little bit, but like a ton. Yet it's interesting somehow. Not what you'd intended, but you can work with it and make something cool out of it. With that in mind, I offer my photo of the Golden...

I'd taken a photo of a pen as a part of listing it for sale recently. I needed a sign for a science fiction convention to a different convention's fiction market, so I flipped through the options in pages and found one for a movie flyer. I repurposed my photo and created the following...

I hadn't known he was a camera fiend! everyday_i_show: photos by Yul Brynner (there is one female nude, fyi) Includes a self-portrait with a Leica. I think my favorite is the 1959 shot of Elizabeth Taylor.

I was going to post something to it and can't find it. I know it was a small part of the site, but I am taking a film class currently.

...I have shingles. :(

Two M-mount lenses for sale. Prices include insured shipping to any country that supports EMS. For insurance reasons, I'll need to declare full value for shipments outside the USA. 1) Nearly new Voigtlander 50mm f/1.1 lens. I'm the second owner of same, but neither of us used it much and so...

This is a real beast of a lens. Generally the 28mm f/1.9 Ultron next to it is considered a "large" lens for M lenses. Images will have to come later in the thread. Sigh.

I was thinking of a different thread on another forum, couldn't find one here. I'd gone and taken pictures yesterday specifically of my home town -- only to find no thread to post them in. Whatever serious compact you have. This particular one happens to be an old 120 film camera (Zeiss Super...

I've got a Canon 50mm f/1.4 in FD mount with µ4/3 adapter for sale. It has some light dust that won't affect pictures, some wear (it is probably close to 40 years old), but it still works like a champ without fungus, haze, or other crud. Ever since I got the Leica 50mm, I haven't been using...

Now that my GAS has continued unabated, I have a problem: what lenses to take with me on our upcoming cruise? We're going to Barcelona, Morocco, Madeira, and the Canary Islands. We'll be doing indoor shots (Alhambra) as well as outdoor ones, so I'll need fast lenses for the dim bits. We will...

One of the things I needed to test on this camera was focus, but it turns out that focus is nothing without something approaching correct exposure. I think the shutter's running slow, because I've used my iPhone's light meter app with two other film cameras and gotten far closer to correct...

The 7000 is also known as Sebastio's reporter satchel and is larger than the Oskar's One Day Bag. I know it's a long shot, but if someone has one to sell (like, maybe, because it's too big), please let me know.

Here it is with my GF1 to give a sense of scale. They both have 90mm fields of view, though the GF1's lens is faster:

I just had a thought about my preferred lens lengths and had to share. Of the film cameras out there, I've been drawn to the Leica CL (aka the Minolta CLE, the only Leica-branded M camera made in Japan). Aside from its small size, I hadn't really identified why it resonated with me. I...

Apparently modeled on the Pentax 110 (110 film SLR with several super-small lenses), though the digital body will be mirrorless. Looks super cute, plus who has 110 film any more?

I've got a little present on the way to me: a 6x6 Zeiss Super Ikonta III folder with a sweet little Tessar lens. Normally, I'd say medium format is opposite of compact, but the folders (and, arguably, the Mamiya 6 and 7 and perhaps some other smaller bodies) are pretty darn small and light...

You need to update to MacOS 10.6.6 for this, I believe. Aperture link. Also, you can now get iPhoto '11 separately. Can't see the price as I already have it installed, but I believe it's $14.99.

I'm completely having a mental meltdown over which of these two lenses to pick. I rented the 15mm Voigtlander through LensRentals for my Hawaii trip, and got some great pictures with it -- which I mostly don't have online. Here is one. However, part of me wants the 12mm. Advantages of...

Exit Through the Gift Shop is a very odd little film that I watched yesterday and keep coming back to in my thoughts. It's at least mostly a documentary about Thierry and Banksy, where Thierry is the earnest-but-obsessed camera man and Banksy is an elusive street artist. Catch is, Thierry isn't...

Serious compact afficianado Kyle Cassidy bought two very old Leica digital cameras and some old "smart media" cards and made an art show he called Leaving Dakota. You can host Leaving Dakota (especially if you have a gallery), but he's got an interesting permutation on it: you can re-arrange...

As most people who've seriously considered an M8 know, it doesn't have enough oomph in the IR cut filter in front of the sensor. Thus, an additional IR cut filter's needed. I accidentally forgot to put mine on the 15mm Voigtlander I was using (thank you LensRentals!), and took the following...

I realized, after finally importing all my pictures, that I had taken about 1500 photos during the four days I was in Hawaii. I'm now down to 1320, but I have a long way to go before I prune it down to a quantity reasonable to upload to Flickr. Anyone else get post-vacation photo-itis...

Jon Rafman There's some interesting images in there. (Some may be considered NSFW, but such is life on the street.)

Every year, the fresnel lens on the Pigeon Point lighthouse is lit up for two hours. This year, I found out in time to go. The first two shots are with my Leica M8 (Voitlander 28mm Ultron f/1.9), but I forgot to check the battery, so most of them are with my GF1 with the 20mm.

Hubby and I went out to the tidepools, where I got my Nikonos out for the first time. I should have tried to open the battery compartment before I got to the site. I may need the door replaced. It's watertight at least. Tooooooo tight. So: no battery. That means no meter. Uh oh. I have...

Okay, it's finally time to admit failure. I signed up for a "post a photo a day" blog some weeks or months ago, and now I can't remember which one and haven't been able to find it. Yes, I've searched my mailbox, and no, I hadn't yet bookmarked the site. I posted one photo. I'd like to post...

Cinematographer's talk: YouTube - Olympus Behind the Lens: Dean Semler Trailer: YouTube - Secretariat Official Movie Trailer Thanks to Ians Tata on fourthirds-user.com for the heads up!

I spent the day at the Leica Akademie in San Francisco along with 19 other camera enthusiasts, a local professional photographer, and two Leica representatives, both named Tom. As with many trips into the city, it began early with a trip on Caltrain. The venue was the Hotel Triton, a funky...

When I went to Australia, New Zealand, and Venice Beach, I took my camera, two or three lenses, and my iPad with me at all times. For the iPad, the Camera Connection Kit is the essential gizmo. For those of you using SD cards, that's all you need; if you use Compact Flash, you'll need to plug...

Canon 7D vs. Barbie Video Girl Cute and funny. From one of the poster's comments: "Very few cameras have such glamorous flaxen blond hair. The Barbie Video Girl is really setting itself apart from the competition."
