Flat Iron Rear End
So like I mentioned in my previous follies post, I had my ISO set to 400 instead of 50, and well, the first half of my roll wasn’t so great. (more…)
Jezza’s Film Follies (Out Takes)
Month: June 2015
A Weekend of Music In Toronto
Yonge-Dundas Square – Panorama during The New Pornographers concert.
I had the pleasure of roaming around Toronto during the weekend and enjoy some great music, courtesy of two annual music festivals running in town: NXNE and the TD Toronto Jazz Festival.
This was also a great opportunity to try out if the camera in my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S6) was as good as Samsung had advertised. All the photos scattered in this post were taken with the phone. I’ll say – right now – that if handled correctly, this phone’s camera is downright jaw-dropping! Let’s enjoy reading about both delights.
Alvin’s Film Follies (Part II – Ilford Delta Film and The INSANE Road Trip)
The I-80 in Wyoming after a Storm
After coming away fresh from Jon’s Ilford PanF 50 challenge, I was itching to find a really nice go-to, everyday, black and white film. Don’t get me wrong – PanF is a great film, but I thought that it needed special handling just because of its lower ISO. Because of this, I wanted my film to have more of an ability handle a “run and gun” shot since I commute to and from work. What can I try out next? Enter Ilford’s Delta 100 film.
Jezza’s Film Follies (Part 1)
‘What the hell are you?’
As our newest editor stated here, I issued a challenge to him (and myself really) to do a film shoot out. We both have Nikon film cameras that were collecting dust, and we were getting back into the whole film thing.
For a while we’ve shot film here and there since moving on to digital – both of us started photography when digital wasn’t even a thing yet. (I just wanted to get that out of the way so this makes us non-hipsters LoL.) So during one of our Hangout sessions (Google Hangouts – since I’m in NYC and Alvin’s in GTA) (more…)
Alvin’s Film Follies (The Part I Out Takes)
Hey, no one’s perfect! Here are some of the shots from my roll of PanF that could be filed under G (or were precariously close to it.)
My very first shot on the roll of PanF. Who would have thought…
Alvin’s Film Follies (Part I)
One of many TTC Streetcars rolling on the rails along Queen Street.
A couple months ago, my buddy Jon issued a challenge: Shoot a single roll of Ilford PanF with a Nikon SLR (in my case, a F90x) and a 50mm lens (AF Nikkor 50/1.8 D), using only manual settings. We were free to choose who would develop the film and scan it. (more…)
Welcome To Our Newest Editor!
I’d like to introduce our newest editor, Alvin. Alvin has been a long time photographer/videographer friend.
In the upcoming days, weeks, or maybe even months, we will be mostly going to be focussing on photography related items.
Hopefully this 2nd iteration of JWAB will be more fruitful than the first. Stay tuned!
