Just a reminder, analog film is worth remembering

I took my sweet time and finally got back the 120mm roll of Kodak film I used in the Diana F+ The plastic Lomography camera has a viewer window that lets you advance the film to shoot either 12 or 16 shots. Above all else, I was reminded just how “brilliant” analog film is over digital results despite the lack of instant gratification.

Just turned out to a nice picture of the hill.

Camera settings vs Tone Mapping vs HDR output

Black Hill Ducks comparing Tone Mapping single image against camera settings. A Nikon Coolpix S6000 at $150 bucks shooting at 8 Megapixels delivers normally to standard expectations. What happens though when we pass those same images through a post-process called Tone Mapping and multiple exposures of the same scene through HDR software? When does which prevail? What situations benefit most from which form of post-processing?

Digital's fine, but Diana F+ is love

Diana F+ plastic fantastic medium format camera. You once heard of something called Lomography but know nothing about it. Good news! Lomography hasn’t sky rocketed in popularity, but it’s stood the test of time and they’re waiting to sell you just what you’ve been hoping for – a plastic, soft-focus, unpredictable medium format camera based on a cult classic from Russia, now called, the Diana F+

Meet a blogger and make a blog.

amy e andrews Georgetown dc dusk sky I’m a happy and passive member of a Washington D.C. foodie community and get to meet a lot of great people when I go out places. I bring with me tech knowledge and an interest in how these bloggers work and what tools they use to chirp and tweet and blog and post about food and other things edible.

It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes, I meet someone to whom my rants and tech rabble are meaningless. I love it.

DinariuSays: About Flickr

Flickr free photo-sharing website is uncommonly polite. FLICKR – It’s a free resource for digital camera owners to use to share and organize their photos and promote their portfolios far beyond the reach of friends if they choose. Flickr began by mistake when Ludicorp employees, charged with designing a video game as the company’s debut project, developed a rudimentary system for sharing images and photos with co-workers.

Wind Storm Timelapse.

Facebook does not take animated GIFs. So I placed here a time lapse of a storm we got bringing hail, 70 MPH wind and that cool, green sky that’s really creepy. Every 12 seconds, a photo just missing the first cloud ring – the second ring is the smooth one that zooms in over the camera bringing a wall of really strong wind. This storm was preceeded by a double-rainbow that collapsed into the appearance of one, out-of-focus rainbow.

South Florida storm approaching in a classic manner.
