For no reason whatsoever, have a couple of photos of Maltese bus drivers…
Both taken with the 350D.

After a good while of saying “Lost data is data lost” in the never-ending jpg-vs-raw debate, someone else has finally said “In RAW, blown highlights cannot be recovered”.
The solution? Bracketing… and use RAW.
Why??
I cannot see any sense in that, in any way shape or form. Have I lost my sanity here?
Architecture… buildings… grafitti…
All taken with the Leica Standard, prewar Elmar 3.5cm, Agfapan APX100, and developed in ADOX APH09.
Taken with the “better than nothing” phonecam… a shot of what the darkroom looks like, when set up and ‘idling’.
A week or two ago, I spent some time polishing up a film cannister.
Yep, a film cannister.
A while ago, I bought a Leica reusable film cannister off Ebay. A fortnight ago, I saw more of these things on Ebay again, though in a more presentable condition. And, as these things are made of brass, out came the “Duraglit”…
The tattered scrap of whatever it looks like, that the casings are on, was once a respectable square of kitchen roll. I assumed I had a “Before” photo, in colour, so begun polishing away a good few decades of grime. Afterwards, I found I only had a b+w photo of the cassette in its previous condition.
I guess I’ll have to leave this unpolished for another thirty-odd years.
“hi i’ve just bought a CanoNikoSigmOlympuSony digital lsr. what’s the bestest second lens for it?”
Why are the DSLR users “hung up” about buying a new lens… so fast?
So I’m known for doing just b+w photos, and not varying the subject matter much beyond big lumbering (and chuffing) lumps of metal shaped like steam engines.
Have a change…
