Analogue Oldie

The fascinating thing to get my head around (quickly) was the lack of information. Only the Olympus and Bronica have light meters and on these, the only information offered is the shutter speed that needs to be used to obtain the “correct” exposure (and of course at this point, having been a long tine since I had used either of these cameras, I need to understand how these cameras expose compared to how I see the final image.

Exploring New York: My Forgotten Photo Collection

This weekend I've started going through my archive tidying up my discs and making sure everything is backed up and I have multiple copies of everything (partly because I've subscribed to Backblaze and I've got my main archive currently backing up).

Alone. Wonderful.
