About the same price as Tromsų-Stockholm then.

Oh god doubleposting.

The camera arrived today, I pressed butans and it said click so it's still in ok shape! You can feast your eyes on this:


I plan on getting my shooting done during the next two weeks, and assuming that the postal workers don't go on strike (yes really) I can send the camera to it's next destination so that it probably won't make it there by christmas because all the mail delivery services will be overloaded with christmas cards and gifts and stuff.

Got it in the mail today aswell. Clean, works well, foam bits seem to be in good shape, actually has batteries in and seems to meter ok, also came with original strap! (No lenses yet though, but what's the hurry.)

I would love to take either of the cameras for a spin when they swing back to the US. I'm in Orange County, CA and I've been itching to have more opportunities to use my Beseler enlarger.

If ExecuDork isn't against Finland hoarding the camera for a while extra, I have a friend who is a goon, sometimes takes photographs and lives nearby. There is a big chance of dogge pictures if the camera is passed along to her though. Also the camera would be stuck here over Christmas, instead of being stuck in the mail somewhere.

You say that as if it ever ended up in the vaguely western part of North America in the first place in the last year and a half.

Have her come post here then. Gonna go all ex-cathedra and say that dogge pics are mandatory if the camera is to be in Finland for a while.

1. Agreed with SoundMonkey - get her in here, even if just to say "Hi". Dogge pictures IN TRADITIONAL FINNISH CHRISTMAS ATTIRE now mandatory.
2. No problemo (see point 1, though).

1. Antarctica! gently caress! That would be every possible kind of awesome! Any chance you'll go again?
2. Hasn't been to Australia, yet.

It will make it back* to the vaguely-western portion of North America again, eventually.

* It started in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, which is traditionally included in "Western Canada". And it visited the west coast region of the USA - does nobody remember Bob Socko's record-breaking turnaround?

Yeah dogge pictures will be arranged. Thanks for this, I need some incentive to get back to taking pictures of things.

I'm going to have to think about the Christmas attire for a bit. The only similar thing everyone wears (or rather doesn't) is that everyone is naked in the Christmas sauna and I'm not shaving down my dogs for this drat you. It's too cold outside!

Hi! and welcome!

You're creative, you must be. Artfully arranged naked-people pictures (with dogge) would be acceptable, as you have described the Finnish traditional Christmas attire as "naked" and we'll have to take your word for it, I guess.

I dunno, maybe a picture taken from inside the sauna of the dogge outside, looking forlorn or happy-to-be-wearing-fur or something?

Good stuff. The rate this thing moves, it might not be in the Southern Hemisphere for a loooooooooooong time anyways, and there are a couple of other Aussie goons who might be interested at that point.

Man, going through a roll of film was slower than I thought! I'm going to commit a terrible sacrilege and take the roll of b/w to be developed instead of doing it myself, as this way a) it'll get done and b) I get basic scans immediately. Going to give the camera to Rixatrix tomorrow, and get my pics up by friday next week. If somebody could hit me up with the tumblr info, that would be great!

Pics posted to tumblr, but they're unfortunately missing the post titles I intended them to have. They might get fixed later maybe? I'll post stuff here in the thread as well, but later when I've had time to process the pictures I took with my Canon 600D as "test images".

Turns out I was wrong about the titles thing, I guess Tumblr doesn't do post titles. But I edited in the stuff Amok PM'd me anyway, as bold lines.

I have the camera and I've taken a bunch of dogge pictures without naked people in them. Will finish the current roll during the weekend and send the camera on its merry way, hopefully somewhere with light. There's no snow here and it's dark and bleak as gently caress.

Who do I send it to next?

Good question.

What happened to this thread, why the poo poo post tag? Is the camera thingy still real? I live in Finland (in Tampere) and my freezer is full of film. I could even shoot a roll of Kodachrome 64, altough the lack of development services would mean I had to dec it in rodinal or something.

I think the thread had a tag that was temporary and when that tag got removed it reverted back to poo poo post.

I also learned that I can't manually set a thread tag to poo poo post, which made me really sad.

Hopefully we won't hog the camera for as long as NYC did, though. Also numbers: The NYC metropolitan area is about a tenth of the surface area of Finland in size, while having almost four times the population.

Oh yeah, we're totally ready to mail the camera to where-ever, if someone will give us an destination. We can take more pictures with it too while we wait I guess, if there's nowhere for it to go yet? We actually have snow now which makes things a bit less bleak!

Bumping because my wife just dug her Dad's old SLR out of the storage room. Turns out it's an AE-1 with a 50mm f/1.8 attached, complete with some Tri-X that expired in 1998. Reminded me of this project, and how easy it is to shoot a roll of film, develop/scan/post it, and then go to the post office.

Mail it back to the states? Hell, I'll take it again.
