I’ve seen a rising interest on my tea b&w film developer post lately and realized that I never did post my recipe here. It has been a while since I actually developed a roll of film with it, but this recipe worked when I did use it. Your mileage may vary. Ingredients (to make 500ml):…… Continue reading 4-Tea-C: My Own Tea B&W Film Developer Recipe

UPDATE: I posted my very own tea developer recipe here! After searching the web for information on tea-based film developer and not finding much, except for this rather inspiring forum thread, I decided to just bite the bullet and make my own tea developer based on what little information I had. I didn’t have black…… Continue reading Developing B&W film with Tea

I’ve been wanting to try developing film with Caffenol-C for awhile (the fact that it’s environmentally-friendly really appeals to me), and last week, I finally did. The first roll I developed turned out to be a dud since it came from a totally experimental pinhole camera. I had no more exposed roll to try to…… Continue reading Developing B&W film with Caffenol-C

Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for free filter samplers. If you ever need some ND filters for…… Continue reading East Meet West

I started scanning the negative of the pictures I took this past weekend with the Hasselblad but I have a sore throat, which never fails to make me feel miserable, and I don’t think I could do it. I’ll have to remember to make sure that the battery in my digital light meter is not…… Continue reading Bad Camouflage

The Grain Exchange building was what you would’ve seen if you looked out of our hotel room window in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Canadians don’t call Winnipeg Winterpeg for nothing. It was seriously cold there, except for the first full day we had, which was nice and warm at -1°C. Sadly, the temperatures only went down from…… Continue reading Inside/Outside

While I was browsing some online classified ads in the Cameras and Photos section some time last week, I saw a posting with a scan of a flyer advertising a camera show on Sunday near Toronto. I asked Troy if he’d like to go despite the $7 admission. He said yes and I got all…… Continue reading Troy and Firda Went to a Camera Show

A gallery of prize-winning photos from World Toy Camera Day 2006 includes one taken by yours truly. Woot! That made my day.

I’m kind of hoping to get a scanner with medium format film scanning capability for my birthday, which is only a month and a week away *hint, hint*. If I did get the scanner, I’d be able to do my own black and white film processing myself, which should save us some money. I’d also…… Continue reading Photogeekery
