Violin students performing last May on the plaza outside Suntory Hall in Tokyo. These were very evidently beginners, as many of them had stickers on the fingerboard to mark finger positions, but I was shocked by how in tune and in unison they played as a group. Kodak Portra 160@200, Nikon F80.

How about 1/30 at 200mm? This one was taken at Tianmu Baseball Stadium before they banned 200+mm lenses, using a 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR lens on my Nikon F6 and Ilford Delta Pro 3200 film.

I have the same 24-120mm f/4 VR lens that I use on my bodies that support image stabilization (F5, F6, F80). I've found that I can reliably get 3 stops of stabilization (so 1/15 sec at 120mm) under just about any circumstance, but I've managed 1/8 sec if I brace myself good and hold my breath.

I've often flown to this airport as well… but in Microsoft Flight Simulator, and also in a Twin Otter. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a plane ticket this time, otherwise I'd love to actually fly on a route I've flown (and crashed lol) countless times in-game.

The National Concert Hall in Taipei… from the perspective of one of the many pidgeons mulling around the plaza, perhaps? Lucky Color 200, Rolleiflex T Model 2. (PS. Avoid Lucky film like the plague, unless you want to risk breaking your camera!)

Of course! Although this was not my first time visiting Penghu, so I've already been through a round of the local specialties ten years ago

Did you go to Troldhaugen (the Grieg museum) in Bergen? Well worth a visit, if just to experience what Norwegians consider "walking distance" from the nearest tram stop!

One thing I don't like about film processing software is that the defaults are almost always way too contrasty. This is the same frame (Kodak Double-X, Canonet QL17) converted using FilmLab, left with default settings, right with my adjustments.

Keep your expectations low, I've seen others use the same expired film and end up with just a whole roll of blank blue.

But the new cameras that have been coming out aren't worth their price tags (except maybe the Lomo MC-A, and that's a big maybe). This goes for even the Kodak-branded plastic toys—I can get a Nikomat FTN plus a f/1.4 50mm prime lens for not much more here in Taiwan, and they're much more capable.

Back after temporarily closing my account because I hurt my hand, and I wanted to make sure I wouldn't spend too much time holding my phone or in front of the computer. During this period I've taken my first steps into large format photography, and Ms. Snake looks very pleased with the result.
