This was taken a while back but wanted to post something. Trying to get my photography mojo back but honestly haven't taken a photo in months. Current stage: maybe if I spend £800 on a X100F I will want to take photos again.

I suppose the expected answer to this might be to refrain from buying stuff and try to find your inspiration from other photographers or from Nature/The City or from ~within~ but, in my case, buying stuff did work. New gear inspired me and I've shot more and better and more consistently in the past 12 months - COVID and all - than in the last few years.

I would usually be the first one to say that Buying More Gear is a trap BUT I will say I love the x100f and the camera inspires me in a way that my Canon 60D did not.

10 rolls of film, 1 picture I liked. Sort of a success?

Yeah, I captured the negative with a mirrorless and macro lens. I forgot to flip it and just decided to leave it.

I have trouble getting those shots with digital, doing it on film is pretty drat hardcore.

With a hit rate of 1/360 I'd say he has trouble getting them too

I suppose, but I've shot thousands on a day of racing and gotten maybe a handful.

Granted at that point I was much newer and using pretty bad lenses but still, panning shots on fast cars is real hard.

I mean there are others that are clear, but its gets repetitive. Panning fast moving things at low shutter speeds leads to a lot of pictures that aren't quite clear at all spots.


Kodak E100


Lomography 800

I haven't really put these anywhere, other than Instagram, and don't want to spam the thread.

It's a numbers game for me, respect for playing it using actual film

I dragged my DSLR and 200mm lens out to a racetrack yesterday to do the same thing but left my memory cards at home like an rear end in a top hat

I bought a Zenit B 35mm camera and it came with a Helios-44 lens (Zebra), and waiting for the trial roll of film i shot to develop inspired me to get an adapter for the lens.

I only have an APS-C camera so there's quite a bit of cropping and it's difficult to capture the bokeh but when I do it looks soooooo cool.

Back to macro (well, 0.66x for now) after a long hiatus. Messing with lights, building diffusers, stacking images :allears:

Been trying to improve me on-the-go photography (e.g. street/event) and using my kids as a subject sure is handy at times

im still bad but improvement is fun nonetheless

On a slow connection today, I was concerned about what I was about to see before the photo loaded. Pleasantly surprised, good photo.
