wlaidlaw Posted April 10, 2024 Share #89861 Posted April 10, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) On coming through security at Barbados a few years ago, I had a security wonk ask me to turn on my M4 camera. I tried to explain that it was a wholly mechanical camera using film and not even having a battery for a lightmeter so no on/off switch. You could see the total lack of comprehension on the young man's face. "Well if it has no battery how can it take photos then" was his question. Again I tried to explain light sensitive silver halide compounds on a plastic film substrate, which resulted in more blank looks. He had to go and find an older colleague who basically told him he was an idiot and apologised to me for the ignorance of the younger generation. It will soon be the case when security officers will ask: "Well how do you make phone calls on that and where can you look up your Tik-Tok favourites".

Kl@usW. Posted April 10, 2024 Share #89862 Posted April 10, 2024 vor 6 Stunden schrieb DreiPunkte: I just returned from Norway and had several security checks domestic and national flights. My Films in the bulkfilm tins are alway manual were checked on demand without any complains. The tins were accepted unopened. Two timesss I had to turn my camerabag the the "left" and they demand me to open the Cameras. They have a look through every lens. I can discribe the hole procedure as friendly and professional. Thank you for the information. It's somewhat comforting to hear that. Unfortunately, my experiences haven't been so positive thus far. However, I've since abandoned my plan to switch to the dark side and travel digitally, and instead, I'm in the process of assembling an analog setup. Now, I just hope that my (purchased new three years ago) MP finds its way home after more than half a year in Wetzlar... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreiPunkte Posted April 10, 2024 Share #89864 Posted April 10, 2024 I think it helps a lot that I transport and present my filmmaterial in mesh bags imediate without asking. Next I open my Billingham and take the Cameras out on the tray. and so on. I never had problems. Also I lable all films with 3200ASA handwritten stickers. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stray cat Posted April 11, 2024 Share #89868 Posted April 11, 2024 Sorting through some of the pictures I took in Oaxaca, Mexico, back in 2011, I'm reminded of some extraordinary experiences. This picture, taken at the town dump, is of a lovely man I met there, who makes his living scrounging what he can from the debris. I remember it being a very hot, bright day, and wanting to use flash to get some detail in the shadow under his hat. In the end I stacked yellow and green filters on the lens and set the ISO to 100 - and still had to use f22 at the sync speed of 1/50. I actually love trying to find workarounds in challenging situations so this was very satisfying when I got the negatives and proof sheets back. Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted April 12, 2024 Share #89877 Posted April 12, 2024 Been down the 8 x 11 route where I have three cameras. 2 x Minox and i Rolleiflex TLR. In the end, unless you are using the 25 ISO film, the images are just too grainy. Same problem with my Leicina Special which has about the same size images on super 8 film, just not enough resolution. Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see it from the perspective of the results, I see it from the perspective of maintaining the format, cultivating this technical culture. No sport shooter today uses a muzzle loader from the 18th century, but as a tradition of remembrance, people use it to shoot straw men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
