do you edit your photos at all?

nope! i shoot on a nikon coolpix 3200 set to -1.7 exposure compensation. sometimes i go up to -1.3 at night, but rarely above that. i underexpose because the nikon is like many digital cameras in that its automatic settings are too bright, but underexposing makes the colors pop. since sometime in 2020 i have been experimenting with setting the white balance to the 'incandescent' preset - this emphasizes the blues and cooler tones in the scene.

i'm glad you asked this, actually, because it gives me an opportunity to talk about why i chose this specific camera.

i come from a background of shooting film - at the time of this writing i have a bag with 216 rolls left to process, shot between 2014ish to 2021. i was attracted to 35mm and 110 film because i was sick of computers and wanted something with that elusive x-quality, a warmth/intimacy that i saw was lacking in the images from my digital camera. i shot a cornucopia of film throughout high school, on a million different point and shoots. (the highlight of my life at that point was when i bought 5 olympus xa's for a dollar each at an estate sale - the deceased was a camera collector & there was a canon room, a nikon room, an olympus room...)

but i look at photography as a diary, and the detail with which i document things was adding up to an overstuffed carpetbag of film to develop. around 2018 i began to wonder if i could exploit the very thing about digital images that i was trying to avoid, the cold, clinical look. i began looking at product photography (the canned food isle in your grocery store is pure unadulterated inspiration if you pay attention to the label designs), kitchen disease and a whooooole lot of the new topographics photographers.

at the same time i was sifting through the local thrift stores searching for the perfect digital camera. i first found a sony dsc-s750 at a pawn shop in 2018, and liked the images it gave back a lot. (different looking results than the coolpix, and 7 megapixels, but equally compelling - i would totally shoot one again) but i wanted something i could run on rechargable aa batteries, and that was a tad less - for lack of a better term - modern. eventually a quick 'test' flash shot of the glass countertop revealed to me my new best friend and constant companion, the nikon coolpix 3200, which i took home for $6. folks, this is from that magical era of ccd digicams when they got everything right. i didn't have a computer for a couple years but i would take my coolpix and a littany of 1 gb sd cards to the local library and dump the .jpgs directly to tumblr/flickr. if you set the exposure compensation to -1.7, you won't need to do any editing. this camera manages to be digital and still cater to the part of me that doesn't want to deal with computers by giving natural looking, soulful colors right out of the gate.

a word of warning to anyone looking to follow in my footsteps: there was a later model coolpix that looks like the 3200 but is 4 megapixels. the noise reduction nikon used in this camera makes the jpgs look wayyyy too soft. if you're looking to get one of these cameras the 3200 is where it's at. it's served me well - i've ran through four of them so far. (it's a very tough camera, but it was also released in march of 2004 and sometimes they develop trouble extending the lens after being sat on, moshed into or otherwise mistreated.) also, be sure to set the quality of the jpgs to the highest setting in the menu and the (gorgeous, borderline 16mm-like) video setting to 640x480.

happy shooting! thanks for your message ~.~

Entry 1:

~Intended to be kept as a keepsake and for practice~

I just recently graduated as an MFA Photography Student at Ulster University, now that I'm free to practice whichever way I want, I want to resume practicing street photography and macro. I bought this camera both as a y2k trend keepsake but also for fun practice as I do not have any DSLRs on hand anymore atm. Personally, I enjoy finding 'old' or nostalgic items I've never used before to see how far I can push my style preference on more limited cameras.

And due to the y2k trend, this seemed the perfect way to experiment. I was too little most of the time to own a compact camera and didn't see the point in owning one since we always have our cells on hand, but I've been feeling nostalgic this past year for tech I never got to try in the past and wanted to push myself outside my comfort zone for a piece of equipment that's easy to have on hand at all times or at a moment's notice without looking too obvious. My camera doesn't technically count as early y2k tech but it's vintage to me lol. And I wanted to recreate a similar vibe for me.

I'm honestly surprised I managed to find one at such a decent price (£43 ebay) at the peak of this trend. And for a solid colour camera no less. It came near mint-condition, with all of its battery chargers and a newish battery. I'm new to this but I still happened to notice that in the West, compact cameras typically come in standard black, silver, and reds. I'm in the U.K. atm, so perhaps that's why it was easier to come across a solid purple one. WAY prettier colours are available in Japan 😭. I want to keep collecting unique colour models but it's such a pain to find sellers who sell the camera with all of its battery equipment.

Out For A Test!

These are all shot in Belfast city centre.

Macro Mode Test

I need to try again once I get a better hang of this camera and when I'm not blocking people traffic: nothing beats a proper macro lens but even still, this'll easily do in a pinch. Shame the camera doesn't shoot RAW :(

Videos that inspired me to go collect y2k tech, it's also worth noting that the trend is also noted for taking off possibly due to film getting very expensive to buy for both hobbyists and professionals and some photographers are trying to collect digicams that create unique looks similar to that of film so keep that in mind when researching:

Got this Canon Powershot G2 working, this is probably gonna be my everyday camera, but I haven’t decided if I’m gonna mostly shoot in color or in black and white. I love both to be honest, this camera is amazing. I know it has a little cult following behind it, people are definitely trying get a hold of that CCD sensor that is build in. It only has 4 megapixels, but to be frank, it’s a 20 something year old camera that looks almost like film. That 4 megapixels will be just fine for some users.

Ok, one thing you have to know about me is that once upon a time I used to take pictures with a dslr camera, like a proper photographer. And my favourite thing about my dslr camera was shooting raw, wich gives you A LOT of control when importing the files in the computer to do the sort of editing you would do in a darkroom if you were shooting film.

But the problem with a dslr camera is that it's heavy and it takes up a lot of space, and I mostly take pictures when I travel - so it could be rather inconvenient. So when (some) phones started equipping really good lens and sensors, and most importantly they gave you the option to shoot raw, I decided to spend a little more on a new phone in order to also use it as a camera. And it kinda worked: I mean, it's not perfect, but it does most things that I want it to do and it makes up the lack of a telephoto lens with a ridiculous amount of megapixels (which means I can cut A LOT without losing too much quality).

So the photos I take with my phone are not... finished. I shoot with editing in mind, and so they're often quite different from what I'm planning to end up with.

This has never been a problem until I started the travel journals here on tumblr: because I really like uploading them in real time, but that means unfinished photos in them, and I would like to have finished photos when I look back at them.

And so I decided to... change them afterwards (btw thank you tumblr very much for the chance of forever editing posts XD). I finished doing this with the photos from my most recent trip, and if I ever manage to import all the photos from this summer I will also do it for the "grand tour of Italy" posts.

And since I don't expect people to go looking for very old posts through tumblr search, I'll make an index post with links to every entry just in case you want to check out the improved photos (and also for personal archival reasons)

#wow i wrote a lot of words #but anyway #mag travels from time to time #photography #i just want a tag for the things i personally put out into the world

Yvette Heiser talks about Medium Format in Photography

When we talk about digital cameras, we relate to the terms ' full-frame or 'APS- C (cropped) detector '. The detector sizes of these cameras are analogous to the size of a 35 mm frame of film. As similar, the digital cameras that are generally used by numerous shutterbugs moment are categorized as the small format. Medium format photography entered the digital realm back in 1991, with the preface of a device that replaced the film holder on the reverse of an analog camera. Here an expert photographer says Yvette Heiser ,this device was aptly named a 'digital camera back' as it contained an electronic image detector, which allowed digital film-land to be taken rather than film. These days, the detector size of digital medium format cameras can be between two to six times larger than those contained within full-frame and APS- C digital cameras, though they remain lower than the detectors of large format cameras.

Numerous medium format cameras are what we call ' system cameras ' – the type that allows for exchangeable lenses as well as other accessories. These include viewfinders, digital camera , and wind-up mechanisms.

Also read: Yvette Heiser Talks about Mini Session and Custom Session in Photography

Medium Format Cameras are good for?

Both film and digital medium format cameras are still used for numerous operations. These include

• Landscape photography

• Fashion, marketable and editorial shoots

• Fine art photography

• Studio pictures

The most common reason that shutterbugs choose to invest in a medium format camera system is to produce veritably large photos at an advanced resolution than would be suitable to be achieved with a 35 mm film or digital camera. Considering the operations that we've mentioned over, these are all stripes of photography in which images may need to be enlarged or magnified for publication. Suppose billboards, magazine covers, and bottom to ceiling prints in an art gallery.

Another advantage of medium format cameras is cropping inflexibility. The larger film size or megapixel count means that you'll be suitable to give your guests a variety of options when it comes to cropping a snap to suit their requirements, whilst still retaining a high position of detail and resolution in your images. This is in discrepancy with the graininess and blur that frequently accompanies enlarged images from small-format cameras.

Also read: Yvette Heiser –How to make your self-portrait creative!

Creatively, medium format systems will give you further room to experiment with depth of field. Some cameras have what we call ' bellows ' – an expandable part of the camera that resembles an accordion – which allows for cock- shift lens capabilities. This means that you can achieve an extremely large depth of field, which is especially useful in geography photography when you want everything to be in focus from the focus to the horizon.

Further Yvette Heiser says , while there are numerous advantages to using a medium format over 35 mm, APS- C, or full-frame cameras, there are also some disadvantages that you'll need to consider.

Along with exceptional image quality comes a hefty price label. While aged medium format film cameras may be the further affordable option, the film remains precious in terms of the cost related to each exposure. Like-wise, it's much harder to find at original camera stores than 35 mm film. You may need to reference it at specialty stores or indeed buy film online. also, digital medium format systems can bring an overhead of$ USD for the camera body alone, which in some cases may add up to the same cost as copping

Of course, the argument also remains that no matter how good the camera is, its performance will be limited by the creativity and position of the experience of the shooter behind it.

Kodak Brownie Flash II

I promised you the results of shooting with the Kodak Brownie...so, being good to my word, here goes!

Background

I bought this camera in a shop in Helmsley, North Yorkshire a few years ago...more as a curio than something I was going to use...and it has sat in my camera display cabinet since then.

Every so often, I would get it out and try and work out how I could use it; ranging from buying 620 film to putting a digital camera inside (maybe using one of the Raspberry Pi computers I have hanging around).

Eventually, I decided to get some 3d printed adapters for 35mm film and try that out.

How Do I?

So having got the 35mm to 620 adapters, it was a question of how do I shoot with the camera.

Instead of putting a few long paragraphs of description, I'll summarise for your sanity: -

I worked out that it took six half turns of the film advance knob to get onto the next frame.

I needed to tape the film leader to the 620 film take-on spool, otherwise it wouldn't wind the film on successfully (most of the time the film leader slipped off the spool).

I needed 100 ISO film to match the sort of film speed this camera was initially intended to shoot with.

The shutter speed is around 1/50th second with a fixed F11-ish aperture.

Recommended shooting time is between an hour after sun-up and an hour before sun-down.

Bright scenes are best.

Issues

Summarising: -

Framing is almost impossible...it is a guessing game!

Winding the 35mm film on is a disconcerting experience. The feedback from the camera is, quite frankly, rubbish.

Knowing when the film is finished is tough...a few times, I thought I had exposed the film to the end of roll but could sort of wind it on more.

I was worried about snapping the film out of the canister when I got near the end of the 36 exposure roll.

You need to open the camera to release the film winding mechanism and rewind the film into the canister. The winder doesn't go 'backwards'.

Sitting on a hot summer's day in the shade on a wall, with your hands under a coat and inside a bag...quite frankly draws attention! It looks weird and gets you looks (I had someone approach me and ask if I was alright!).

You will get fingermarks and light leaks onto the film as you rewind if you don't use a light-proof film bag.

Results

This image is straight out of the camera...apart from scanning and inverting the scan.

So...points to note:

Framing is an issue!

You get around eight panoramic frames to a 36 exposure 35mm film.

The winding of the film introduces movement and the film can become skewed a little, so it is almost impossible to keep the horizon straight!

The light leak on this frame is not from the camera, but from my improvised under-the-coat unloading process.

With this effectively being a fixed exposure 'point and shoot', the image is slightly overexposed - it was a very bright day.

Sharpness for this approximately 65 year-old, fixed focus camera is surprisingly good.

The scan for this frame is around 20,000x6000 pixels. That's a 120 megapixel image.

Colour rendition from the lens is...well...interesting.

Conclusions

Would I shoot with this camera again? The short answer is yes...but taking into account the issues above, I would ensure I tried to mitigate the errors I made.

The downside is framing and I am unsure how that could be improved rather than be just a best guess.

If you have any questions, please get in touch!
