Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 06/11/2024 My first self developed roll of color film! Definitely some minor issues, but I think more related to me underexposing on my Minox 35.

After 15 minutes, your brain will recognize the difficult task and create dopamine to help you keep going. Agonizing endlessly before the drawing doesn't help your creative process. 207172873262
Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 26/10/2024This super cute little cat was up for adoption in a PetSmart in San Diego. Minox 35 GL on HP5+, developed in D-76. Exposed at iso 320 #believeinfilm #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #cats 161
Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 24/10/2024Here's some pictures from a test roll of HP5+ shot on a Minox 35 G, exposed at 320, D-76. Not sure how I feel about them, but the GT is more fun than the GL, mostly because the film advance is less cranky, and I do love a self timer. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #minox35 0120

Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 21/10/2024I haven't participated in this workshop, but the last one I did was awesome. @lethalityjane.bsky.social Have you seen CBAW's stuff before? I'm not really plugged into the military/veterans scene on Bluesky like I was on twitter 230

Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 15/10/2024This movie is so heartfelt and sweet, and absolutely got me into birding. And my wife too, a few years later. Everyone we've introduced it to really enjoyed it as well. Perfect Sunday afternoon movie, and even better if you like birds! 110

Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 11/10/2024I took these pictures through a fence with my Canon Multi-Tele in half frame mode. Happy Fence Friday! Half Frame Friday?? Ilford HP5+, D-76 #HFF #believeinfilm #filmphotography #filmisnotdead 0182
Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 10/10/2024A2- my current favorite lens is the Olympus m.zuiko 70-300 F4.8-6.7. It's comparatively light, and with the m43 it ends up being 600mm equivalent, so I can really reach out and catch birds that I wouldn't otherwise. It's not great in low light, but it's not terrible with my Em10 either #photochat 010
Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 10/10/2024A1- my favorite, and only digital camera, besides my pixel 6, is an Olympus Em10ii. I use it mostly for bird photography and the occasional landscape. I find it a little frustrating to use-- the menu system is just not intuitive. But, it's super light and portable! #photochat 020
Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 09/10/2024This would be fantastic! Gillian Anderson is awesome, and I'd love to see her as the cynical, paranormal obsessed agent instead of straight laced and by-the-book 020
Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 07/10/2024I'm super excited-- just developed my own film for the first time! This is Ilford HP5+ 400 that I shot in a Canon Multi-Tele, a point and shoot that can do half frame and full frame. This is my first roll of half frame. Fun!! #believeinfilm #filmphotography #filmisnotdead 3210

Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 28/09/2024Testing an estate sale find Canon A-1. I can't remember which lens these were shot with, but it was some combo of 50mm, 28mm, and 135mm on this test roll. Shot on Kodak Gold 200. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #filmisnotdead 060
Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 26/09/2024Silhouette! Not a new picture, but one of my favorites. Taken in August, 2019 near Biloxi, Mississippi with an Olympus Em10ii, f5.6 at 1/250 with the 5.6 100-300mm zoom. #birds 020
Reposted by Mike Ray Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 24/09/2024I'm not entirely sure what scared this bird, but... I'm guessing my cat forgot about the existence of glass again. Definitely watch with the sound turned up-- it sounds like a cartoon sound effect 011

Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 21/09/2024I shot a whole roll of 120 film on my sweet Ansco B2 Speedex... Which it turns out had a stuck shutter. So no pictures this time, but I am slowly learning how to work on old film cameras #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm #filmphotography 070

Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 18/09/2024Opossum came by again, and got all up in the feeder's business. He seems to swing by every couple of days or so, usually after midnight. I appreciate that he's thinking of us for his late night snack needs 041

Mike Ray @dmichaelray.bsky.social · 12/09/2024I got a weird little point and shoot film camera for my birthday. I shot a roll of the cheapest color film I could find, and I had some decent shots. These are the best, or at least the ones I like the most. 060
