Weekend Hobby Thread
I don't recall how old I was when my parents gave me a Kodak X15 camera. Probably about 9. I loved that little camera. I used it for years and it instilled a love of photography. Ah the smell of opening a package of 126 film. Do you remember the square flash cubes? Ah the good old days. You can still find the Kodak X15 around. But good luck finding the discontinued 126 film let alone getting it developed. Its hard finding retail outlets who will develop 35mm film.
Growing up I had a friend who got into photography including setting up a dark room in his parent's basement. I still have a couple of his B&W 8"x10" photos somewhere in the photograph totes.
Maybe when we retire we will find homes for all of those photos. I still have a vast collection of photos I took with the X15. I eventually did buy a really nice Yashica that I used for personal and business use. Then the advent of digital cameras came about and the cell phone. I still have that Yashica and a really nice point and shoot Olympus that I used on my job when I was in crappy conditions. I know that several Morons are into photography. And one of those Morons is Orangeent. He submitted a number of photographs and it was really hard to select a couple for today's thread.
Black & White Photo: is an interior shot of the Stockton Waterfront Warehouse before it was opened in Stockton, CA. The photos were all taken with Kodak T100 film and printed on Ilford paper if that's what you meant. All work was done at the school, I don't have any developing gear of my own. Thus, the turn to digital! I don't remember the cam settings but I was using a Pentax K1000 with a couple of different lenses. Color Photo: The mountain shot is Mt Charleston, I used a Kodak 650
The nice thing about photography is you don't need to spend an arm and a leg for some decent equipment. There are various classes one can attend at vocational schools, clubs, etc. And beauty is in the eye of the beholder anything and everything can be photographed. There are still a number of great books on the subject of photography as well as YouTube. However, it's a little hard to look at video and operating a camera when you are off grid looking at some beautiful mountain sunset. There are a number of great YouTube videos out there. I won't bore you with them.
Photography as a hobby should be fun and relaxing. It's OK to strive for perfection, but remember, it's a hobby and not a livelihood. As Bob Ross once said, "We don't make mistakes, we have happy little accidents." Not sure if he was talking about painting or parenthood. I received the following sometime ago from a Moron who didn't provide a nic. So I'm not sure to attribute credit to. But it is a pretty setting.
A couple of pics I snapped today at Andersonville National Cemetery. You are welcome to use them if you’d like. - f'd
So tell us about your experience with photography. Are you using digital cameras? Do you still use film? Or are you just a cell phone cam person?
Thank you for stopping by today. If you have some hobby tips, hobby thread ideas or some unwanted cash please send to petmorons at gmail dot com. Next week JJ Sefton will have something up his sleeve. Knowing his love for woodworking let's hope it's not a missing thumb.

After the initial investment in the equipment, it pays you back with days of enjoyment out in the field.
I actually have also sold many prints, which is good fun. But that's not the reason I go out and shoot. I go out and shoot because this world is an astoundingly beautiful place, even in my little corner of rural Midwest. I go out and shoot to capture bits of the glory of God.

Now, it's a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 and a Nikon P-90 digital. The Lumix has a Leica lens and takes pretty good photos for a camera that's over a decade old.
Lastly I have my grandfather's Leica with a Leitz Elmar lens. That thing is probably 100 years old. It still works.

Years ago, one of my photography professors said something to the effect of "you can experience the event, or take pictures of it". We see it all the time now.
These days, it seems no matter what is going on, a majority of the viewers will whip out their phone and holler - I got that on video!! but not really experience what is occurring right in front of them.
I never wanted to part of that crowd.

Agree. Why I take no pictures today.
My story on that was canoeing with my very accomplished photographer little brother on the Middle Patuxent River. Round a tight bend we came across a stunning Green Heron on a tree branch crossing the water.
"Stop the canoe"!!! he yelled as he went to open his waterproofing for the nice camera. "No can do" was my response. I marveled at the bird until it flew away. My brother was still trying to get his camera.

It's hard unless you have multiple lenses to use. I had to do it for the classes I was taking and I found it was better to use a telephoto lens and back away from the subject.

People were taking pictures with their cell phones, and were tracked when talking or being called.
Happened in the Bombay hotel attack also. People in the lobby had 15 seconds to decide to leave or stay. One Brit-Indian millionaire left in time, but called BBC to report the attack. He was tracked and killed while on the phone.

Started with a Mamiya SLR about 1970, during college a Pentax MX, eventually having multiple lenses and 3 bodies-different films in each. ( B&W and color darkroom)
Later I picked up a 4x5 but never had time to master it (job, kids).
Now I have a Pentax K5 digital camera but for serious photos I'm not too swift with the computer developing.
I still have all the equipment except the first, and I'm hoping to get back into things after I retire next year.

A million years ago, I got to go on a trip with a writer and photographer from National Geographic. The photographer would set up landscape photos and direct the shots like a movie director. I recall waiting 30 minutes for one shot, until he felt the clouds were "just right." It was an amazing photograph and appeared in the magazine.

For many shots using the large format cameras the shutter was open for so long, aperture damn near closed and appropriate film stock of course, folks moving about in the frame didn't even register on the finished picture. That was glorious.

Yeah, me too. I remember one time I was walking through a field with a friend of mine and he startled a rabbit, so he lit off after it. By the time I got the film wound and took a picture, the only thing in the shot was the field.
A while back my late friend Bob told me about some B&W film that used the C41 process, so you could give it to anyone that did color film to process and print. I don't know if they still make it, but I might be tempted to buy some for this camera that I have. It's an Exacta that I didn't exactly inherit from my father.

You can tell they're there with the ghost figures in early photos. I was thinking of going into medium format, but decided to stick with 35mm. I just prefer landscapes. I had one really good one I had made into a 16x20 poster, but I had no way to show it to MisHum. I think it's one of my better ones.

In the past I've had other boats at Dana, most recently a 35 ft Carver aft-cabin. I did frequent trips to Avalon and Two Harbors in it.
I don't expect doing anything more than the standard Dana triangle with the new boat. I just want to get out on the water again.

We used some of that film and it was good stuff and, of course, had the convenience of easy development and printing. I think Ilford still makes a B and W film that can use the C-41 process. Probably have to get it from B and H Photo or some other specialty store.

No kidding! In the old days, since we were bracketing all our pics (one f-stop up and one down) to ensure we had a decently exposed shot, we make contact sheets of our film before printing any one or two particular shots to try to keep printing costs within reason so that we could afford the film.

When I was working in the engineering labs at my university they bought a super-highspeed camera system from Kodak that was to be used to capture high-power de-icing systems shooting ice off of aluminum structures. A guy came out from Kodak to demonstrate how to use the camera.
It was pretty cool but this guy went into a whole bit about how he set up the dallas cowboys with a system to catch some kind of sports thing at high speed and says they had him take super high-speed video of cheerleaders bouncing and gyrating around and I'm like where's that and he said sorry I don't have it. No, you can't tell that story and not have the video. I was so pissed.

Back before digital was a thing, my company bought a Nikon slide scanner - it was $20k. Hard to believe how expensive shit was back then. A Kodak dye-sub printer was about the same price. Talk about a waste of materials, good grief. But, we used to charge for it and corporations would pay for it - bubble jet printers were still years away.
With your scanner I'd assume most slides are in the regular Kodak paper mounts, so once you find the correct frame it should be easy. All of my slides were in plastic Loersch mounts - save for some in glass mounts which had to be hand mounted. The plastic mounts were about the same thickness as the paper - but when dealing with a slide scanner the width of a hair makes all the difference. I have dozens of carousels loaded with slides - I really should send those off to be scanned while such things are still available!

The problem is there have been a large variety of paper mounts over the past hundred years or however long people were taking pictures. My wife has three generations of film. Also it scans negatives which is nice but there are a lot of different sizes of negatives too. I think I had to use three different slide frames and two different negative film frames. Also I'm not too familiar with the history of film so I didn't know what I was doing.
But once you get the hang of it it is pretty easy. You might enjoy scanning them yourself.
Posted by: banana Dream at February 12, 2022 06:16 PM (sqH0x)
There is still a shop in town that will develop color & black and white and sells film, chemicals and paper too as well as used equipment. I have my eye on a Nikor fisheye there, still trying to justify the expense though.
I keep meaning to buy one of those digital scanners for the thousands of negatives I have but that's an iffy thing.
I hope it's a thing that kids are getting back into film because just like record albums, you can't capture that feel digitally.

It might have been, they used to film around Stockton quite often. That shot was taken in the 90s before they opened it up for business. It used to be a flour mill and warehouse. They refurbished it and made it a shopping center. I think it's still open, haven't been there for years.
Posted by: OrangeEnt at February 12, 2022 06:21 PM (7bRMQ)
I bought an SLR and good lenses (they're still around here somewhere) and took many slides off the aircraft carriers. I stopped taking pictures when film got expensive and digital wasn't ready. Kids you know...
Now I have a couple of Nikons and okay to good glass and take some nice shots. Landscapes, ocean sunrise/sunsets, and sailing boats, as well as some wildlife.
The phone has a fast lens and I will catch wildlife with it too.
I'm currently learning lightening photography and hope to get some shots the next monsoon.

Yeah, but hundreds of photos. Probably thousands TBH. That's a lot of cleaning and scanning. Back when I had a decent film scanner I wasn't doing it. IIRC, the large format scanner I bought to do the ex's artwork had negative frame holders. I need to go to storage and get the carousels out before the ex does something crazy.
I also shot a lot of concerts back when you could do that - and since Kodak was down the street I'd just give instructions to push the development and got some pretty darned good results.

the arch sits on the rim of a huge stone bowl, and people stand on the opposite side of the bowl for a nice viewpoint-

I have a Canon SX160, right here in front of me. For some reason, it has forgotten to remember the day, date, and hour, so every time I go to take a picture, I get a screen telling me to input all that data. Do they use a BIOS battery? Pisses me off. Most times, I don't give a fat rat's ass about day and date, anyway.

Photography is far, far less expensive now than back in the day. My Nikon FE with a Nikkor 50 1.4 was $375 in 1980. That's almost $1300 in today's money. For half that you can buy a very nice camera/lens combination, one that also shoots competent video. The beauty of digital is that you have every film type at your disposal. No need to carry around 64, 100, 400 and 1000 film speeds. And, shoot your guts out. You're not paying to process garbage shots. I remember trips where I'd have a bag of just film, and still be counting like ammo during a zombie apocalypse.
Things that took hours in the dark room can now be a slider or click of a button to fix. Heck, you can even emulate particular film stock if you want. Lenses are much, much better as well, thanks to modern optical technology. I'm a purist, but sold on digital photography.

I once saw a pic of my then 28 year old dad holding what I initally saw as my two year old son (who is 33 now). It was a really weird moment, then I realized it was my little sister in the 1970s. The resemblance between her and my son at that age was startling. Right down to the poofy hair. Just a weird moment illustrating family resemblances not being totally linear.

My thought on that is that anything quality or important will be printed. That's how I do it. One thing I never liked about film photography is that on a roll of 36 I would almost always find several duds that I would reject. With digital the sheer volume of shots you can take gives you a lot more chances to find that great shot. As well as playing with shutter speeds and whatnot.

I think it's just the opposite. I have over 10,000 pictures that are coped on two computers, an iPad and the cloud. One of these days I'm going to get a drive just to back them up on another device but with all these different copies at least one will survive.
Posted by: JackStraw at February 12, 2022 06:54 PM (ZLI7S)
Yes, this in spades. The only way to get good at photography is to take lots of pictures and then throw away most of them. With film, that's expensive and time consuming. With digital, it's fast and cheap so you're more likely to do it.

Well, I ran across one for sale. Looks quite presentable. Seller wants $395, or $425 with a box of cartridges. I am tempted myself.

There are also adapters that let you use 35mm film (the 126 is just a convenient 35mm setup).

I have done some time in darkrooms, still remember the smells and sounds.
I've done sun proofs (direct from film to paper) that don't last long for my grandfather, who was a professional photographer. He hand-colored many portraits photographed in B&W for weddings, etc.
Once I entered a building under demolition to catch a few photos. Got some nice dust-in-the-light effects.

Check the markings if you care about value/historical interest. I've also found that you really need a good look at the bore in the older ones as corrosive primers were common.
They used to be really cheap a couple of years ago - $250-300, but now they're all over the place.

Turns out my grandfather took photos around the time of WW I and developed them in the bathtub and printed contact sheets. I've seen a few. There is one of my oldest aunt in her highchair. You can read the date on the wall calendar behind her: 1917.

That's really cool. For some reason those old prints seem to last forever. Photos I took from the 60s and 70s have faded and turned yellow. I wonder how long digital photos will last.

We have lots of very old family photos, including from the family villages in Greece. I keep asking my mom to go through them with me so we can write down who these people are. She's the last one who would know & that knowledge will die with her. But when we start, she just cries and says, "They're all gone!" It's heartbreaking, especially not knowing how much time there is to sort everything out.

when I moved out here (CO) 22 years ago, I set about exploring the West, to see all the wonderful scenery I had only seen in movies or on calendars. Colorado, Wyoming, and especially Utah. Lots of great adventures.
I think I was the best version of myself in Utah.

Well, I will go tomorrow and take a good look, with a light and a magnifier, and take note of the markings. If the bore is not all etched out, I may buy it. Flea market dude. Has some Star BM's as well.

So I think of the antediluvians (those before the Great Flood) and note that each person typically lived 600+ years of age. Within a generation of Adam they already have mastered metallurgy, agriculture and the fine arts. Now imagine if you had the genius that exceeded Einstein and had several centuries to perfect your craft. Now imagine the hundreds of millions if not billions of people who lived before The Flood. Imagine what our technology was 200 years ago. 500 years ago. And that is still less time than their typical working life.
So Noah boards the Ark knowing there will be nothing surviving on the other side. What technology do you take aboard the Ark? I imagine the storage they had greatly exceeds what we have today, and it likely required high tech devices to manage and read it.
Now go back and think about your SSD and what will be needed to convert those bits into something you can read when that is all you have.

Might as well handwrite longhand before keystroking text. Dedicated scanners didn't seem too spendy even a while ago. One job circa 2003 was scanning "chromes" (35mm slides) and no need to wrestle with Photoshop endlessly.

There's some good info on Spanish proof marks online. They didn't start doing date codes until the 1920s, so if you see those, you'll know it's not an WW I vintage weapon.
I'd love to get one and it's on my list.

I used to do that, as a matter of course, for work at wellsite. Wrote my sample descriptions, in a shorthand style, on foolscap with a pen, then keypunched them into my striplog. Keyboard took up too much counter space in the lab.
I would hook the cam directly up to the computer, and use it as an image-acquisition device. I would sooner do a little messing with my existing hardware than go out and buy a $$$ scanner, that, once my backlog of slides/negs is done, is virtually useless.

About 15 years ago, I got Candace Bahouth's Medieval Needlepoint book and was surprised to learn she didn't use frames or hoops. I find it's much easier for needlepoint, cross stitch, and embroidery. Haven't read all the comments, so I apologize if this has already been suggested.

I wanted to take an instant photo camera which gives you the pictures right there so you know what you've, got, very typical for forensic investigations at the time but they didn't want to spring for it and the film so they had me take the company 35 mm.
So the photos come in from the developer, 5 rolls of pictures from a youth beauty pageant at some mall.
Ha, ha....
Posted by: pawn at February 12, 2022 09:01 PM (Cfk8j)
I appreciate the comment(s) about needing to distinguish experiencing the event or place versus photographing it. Cell phone cameras are popular (including myself here) by eliminating the carrying and most of the fiddling, i.e. allowing less departure from 'experiencing' the event or place. The guys out in nature with the tripod in one spot for an hour are 'in the experience' too. I've always tried with my regular cameras over the years to have their adjustments all set before organizing the people in front of the camera.
