A bit too late for the #ShittyCameraChallenge (not sure that the Zeh Goldi is a shitty camera anyway) here's a post from this great little 127 format camera.

A Day Out In Nazaré With The Zeh Goldi, A 1930s Folding Camera
When the post introducing the Zeh Goldi was published back in June, we had planned a visit to Nazaré, and I was determined that one of the cameras I would take with me was the Goldi. Unfortunately this was postponed, as was the next trip, and the next. So the Goldi sat unused, waiting for the day that we could make the journey.

This is Kika. She's seventeen years old and is not well. That doesn't stop her from jumping onto a table to steal a piece of chorizo, mind. #Caturday

Last day of the last ever Shitty Camera Challenge so going to finish with the last(ish) image on the film. 📷 Ilford Pixie 35-II 🎞 Expired Fujifilm Superia (03/2003) #ShittyCameraChallenge
The side of a factory on an industrial estate near Vagueira. A pattern painted long low building. In the centre of the frame are several tall cylinders,  probably storage silos. The way the lens works, the silos are in focus (ish) while the rest of the frame is filled with a radial blur.

We (I) took the Ilford Pixie with us on holiday. Saved the last frame for this image from Lisbon. Happy with how it turned out. Ilford Pixie 35-II Expired Fujifilm Superia (05/2007) #ShittyCameraChallenge
A view of a block of flats from Oriente railway station in Lisbon. The building is in sharp focus (for the Pixie) while the buildings in the foreground are blurred with the Pixies signature radial blur. Through the viewfinder the building filled the frame.

I think originally this was meant to be a snap of the BH and son standing next to a telescope on the top of the cliff in Nazaré. Somewhere though something went a little astray.

The Pentax Optio I-10 doesn't have a monochrome mode so you can only use colour images together with the colour filters. So that's what I did, and frankly this digital aerochrome came out great! #ShittyCameraChallenge #TrichromeEverything
A digital aerochrome of my favourite trees and well taken with a Pentax Optio I-10 digital camera with blue, green and infrared filters. The I-10 is a 12MP resolution camera, so technically it's compliant with the Shitty Camera Challenge. But I can't help feeling the Elder Gods are getting a bit soft.

It was unplanned, but instead of heading to Nazaré for an analogue day out I took the Shitty compiant Canon EOS 10D and Lensbaby Muse to Vagueira. #Canon10D, #LensBlur, #Lensbaby, #TiltShift, #LensbabyMuse, #EffectLens, #ShittyCameraChallenge,

The Shitty Camera Challenge: The Lensbaby Muse And A Now-Shitty DSLR
I had this dumb idea a while back. One of my favourite beasties at the moment is the Ilford Pixie 35-II, a basic plastic 35mm camera that produces images with the most amazing radial blur effect. For a while, I've wanted to create a similar effect with a digital camera, and I did have some success with the homemade 'Deakinizer', holding a wide-angle converter reversed over the lens, but this is cumbersome and oftentimes it's quite fiddly to achieve the desired effect.

All set for our oft-delayed trip to Nazaré with the Zeh Goldi and Ilford Pixie. Checked the weather, and ... 78% chance of rain, thunder and whatnot. So, off again. Instead, Plan B is a trip to Vagueira for sardines (not me, too many bones) and the #ShittyCameraChallenge
Close-up of the body of a Shitty Camera compliant digital SLR camera, the Canon EOS 10D, showing just the branding and a couple of buttons. The camera has been fitted with a ... 'lens' and it'll be my first outing with this combination. 🤞

Currently tidying up and making a record of the cameras in the display cabinet. I think this is my favourite shelf on the digital camera side so far (on the analogue side it's going to be the Rapid camera shelf, I know it).
Part of a column from a spreadsheet of a list of cameras. Most of these are Nikon's early 2000s swivel head cameras:

Konica Minolta Dimage Z10
Nikon Coolpix 990
Nikon Coolpix 950
Olympus Pen E-P1
Olympus Pen E-PL1
Nikon Coolpix 4500
Nikon Coolpix 900
Canon Powershot G12
Nikon Coolpix 4500
Generic sport action camera
Yi action camera
Nikon Coolpix S4

(The action cameras were in the same case. I've circuit bent one and I'm not sure what to do with these.)

Back from holiday, with just a roll of expired Fuji Superia through the Pixie and a few images from the I-10 to show for it. Frugal Shitty Camera Challenge pickings indeed. However, rummaging through some powerbanks on my return I did find the Canon Powershot G9X that I lost some two years ago.

No cheating, post your lockscreen. (I don't have a lock screen as such, my phone has a FlipSuit case which shows this screensaver on startup.)
The red FlipSuitcase lock screen features a yellow DJ character in front of a single turntable (not much of a DJ, really) underneath the word 'mix' on a red background. The whole thing is animated.

End if phase 1. Cameras transferred to the cabinet. Gone from umpteen boxes and cases to three nicely packed cases and one 'project box'. Next step is to sort out all the accessories, filters, etc., then go through the cabinets and remove the straps and cases. Finally is the lights.

After much (not much) soul-searching, here are my holiday picks: Pentax Optio I-10, the circuit bent action scamera, and the Ilford Pixie 35-II and two rolls of (noughties) expired Superia.
Three cameras on a table top. A little pink action scamera on the right, at the rear in the middle the black plastic Ilford Pixie 35-II, and on the left the Pentax Optio I-10. Behind the Pentax are two rolls of expired 35mm film.

In a bid to display the camera collection in a slightly more professional manner, I invested in a couple of display cabinets. They look quite good now, eh?
Two black-framed glass display cabinets (Blåliden from IKEA with extra shelves). Mounted on shelves in the left cabinet is a circuit bent G6 Thumb Camera and a black Holga. In the right cabinet is a circuit bent action scamera. The rest of the shelves are empty.

The Shitty Camera Challenge: In Oliveira Do Bairro With The Circuit Bent G6 Thumb Camera
It's been a while since I've been out with the G6 Thumb Camera, but the Shitty Camera Challenge is upon us, and this little circuit bent camera is an ideal partner. Besides, most of my cameras are still in boxes, and we still haven't been able to get out with the Zeh Goldi and the Ilford Pixie, which I've been promising myself for ages.

Two people are walking along a wooden walkway on the beach that forms the horizon line on this image. To either side of them are wooden benches and a couple of wooden poles. The bright sand is rendered as just white in this image. The blue sky is filled with arcs of shades of purple. These effects are caused by circuit bending a digital camera by shorting out some contacts in the ribbon wire connecting the sensor to the main board.
