Happy New Year!
The proposed 365v2 idea was abandoned, in hindsight a sensible decision given the volume of “real” work that it was necessary to get through in the last quarter of 2016.
However, still feel the urge to resurrect my interest in photography, and have the need of a driver to move me forward with that, so a “52 weeks” project for 2017 seems to be perfect. There’s a lovely Flickr group (here) that focusses on exactly this, and it well stocked with enthusiastic, supportive members. Week number one (“The Letter O”) is done (entry here), looking forward to moving on to “Broken” in week two, and “Zippers” in week three.
Alongside the weekly challenges, I’m looking at expanding my portraiture skills this year, and given the time of year am starting that off by investigating night portraits. Looking forward to putting these ideas into practice over the next couple of weeks.
There needs to be a better work-life balance established this year, and I’m looking forward to using photography as a means to drive that forward.
it is almost two years since I started my 365 project: a snap decision inspired by a stay at a beautiful country house hotel.
We return to Swinton Park in the next few days. My photography has stalled over the last year, with work consuming increasing amounts of time. My love of photography, and beautiful, engaging photographs, remains undimmed, which made me wonder whether to user the coinciding anniversary and hotel return to restart.
My inclination is yes, but to work towards some goals for the year:
There’ll undoubtedly be frustrating, awkward days where inspiration and opportunity are minimal, but also times when new experiences are driven by the desire to find that day’s image.
Having thought about this further, excited about getting started again.
It’s been some time since my last post, and this isn’t going to be a long one.
However, it could be useful for anyone who, like me, shoots 35mm film to develop at home and who isn’t great at judging when to stop rewinding the film back on to the spool in the camera.
I’ve had a number of frustrating experiences where I’ve shot a roll of film, been all ready to develop it… and couldn’t retrieve the leader from the cassette. I eventually found the following blog post, which clarifies the way that the Kaiser Film Retriever is best used: How to use the Kaiser Film Retriever
The key elements seem to be:
The retriever’s smaller second tongue can then be inserted, catching the sprockets of the leader, and then retracted to extract the film. I find that it can sometimes help to gently turn the spool clockwise whilst sliding the lever to retract the smaller tongue.
Hope this link and the additional information’s of assistance to a frustrated film extractor at some point.
