CiroFlex

I'm very excited about this post. Most of the pictures suck, but that's not the point of this post. I GOT MY FIRST ROLL OF MEDIUM FORMAT FILM BACK! I got an old CiroFlex Model D as part as a camera lot deal on facebook marketplace, and I was really excited to test it out. The camera itself wasn't in the best condition so I hesitated to use it. I did open it up to see if everything worked, and everything seemed to work, but it just wasn't in shooting condition. I should've just resold it to get some money back... I bought one in better condition off ebay. Poor financial decision but whatever, first medium format.

So I went by my local lab and picked up a crisp fresh roll of 120 Tmax 100 and tossed it in the Ciroflex. First test roll just to see if the cam fully worked. Here are the results!

These first pictures are pretty much the only pictures that I like, but its a test roll so I wasn't expecting anything awesome

These next photos were ones that I double, even triple exposed because I had no clue what I was doing with the camera. There are some pretty cool shots that I got though.

And for the rest, I was able to figure out how to wind the film properly, but didn't really lock in the focus. I had a fun time shooting with this camera, and I'm very happy that the camera was able to capture an image. More posts will be made as I explore this new format.

Avo Fest

Today we have a very special post, my first proper attempt at mosh pit photography. This has always been a type of concert photography that I've always wanted to do and get into but was always too scared or just didn't know when there would be a show. But this year I knew where to go, The Carpinteria Annual Avocado Festival. This family friendly event is home to one of the most surprising free concerts that I love going to. The band that played is called "The Upbeat" and they are a favorite ska band of mine, the energy that they bring and the energy of the crowd is insane. So I came equipped with my Nikon 1 J1 with a 3D printed grip and an adapted 6mm security camera lens to take the pictures. Nikon 1 J1  - Rainbow H6mm f1.2 Nikon 1 J1  - Rainbow H6mm f1.2 This year had probably the best Upbeat show I attended. The crowd was jumping, the band was playing hard, and the mosh was getting pretty intense. Usually when The Upbeat plays at Avo Fest, it gets pretty lively and...

Film Dump #3

 So for today's film dump consists of 2 different cameras. My super awesome and trusty Nikon N80, and a camera I don't have anymore, the Nikkormat FT2. Both days were just phot walk days with my friend Jakob Hammer. Shot some "street" and some other variety stuff. Fist off I'll show off the N80 pictures. I haven't used this camera in a while so I didn't expose some of the pictures properly, they are a bit under exposed but they do have a bit of a spooky look to them which I do really like.

Film Dump #5

Welcome to the 5th film dump! This dump is from a couple days. First off would be a disc golf day with my family up in the bay area. We went to Kelly Park for the day to play a full round of disc golf. It was a nice bright day and there was a range on the course where I was able to throw one of my discs about 300 ft, which is pretty good for me at the time. I was equipped with my cousin's Minolta X700 and a roll of Kodak GT800 from a disposable camera. The light meter on the X700 was a bit faulty due to low battery so everything was manual exposure, which I think worked out pretty well.

I was equipped with my trusty Nikon FG with a roll of Fujifilm 400. The first half of the roll was used at Santa Barbara City College and the Santa Barbara Marina. I absolutely love taking pictures at SBCC...
