Imperfections, limitations, and the hardware of film photography are always fascinating I love cats and cars and science and music I oppose authoritarian governments

I love Cinestill! I prefer the slightly warmer tones of 400D, but 800T is great too. The halation around highlights is my favorite part.

Looking out from the dining room window toward the chicken coop, the orange sunrise cuts through the snowy trees, causing halation on the film.

I recently revisited this spot. More snow, more color, fewer hashtags this time.

Ha! I had hoped some of it would be sharp, but hand-held low shutter speed plus wide open is tricky. You’re lucky this was the f/2 lens, not the f/1.4. It would have been one giant smudge with that lens.

Some light leaks on a mostly dark frame. Some of the fuzzy material from the film canister has made shadows on the frame. Black and white.

Finally one section of Cat Law has made its way into human law! It’s about time.

Next will be the section on lap availability and minimum sitting duration.
