Sending a batch for processing. And found these two. Buggeration. There’s still a processor that’ll make black and white images from them, though. #film #Kodachrome #photography

Wow. JP gave me a stash of Tri-X. The old TX400 formula, not the modern 400TX formula. Five rolls worth! #tri-x #kodak #film #photography #filmwasters #filmphotography #35mm

Change of plan. Having a camera considered too nice to use is STUPID. In comes the F3 again, this time on active duty. #Nikon #F3HP #slr #film

AHA look what I found #Polaroid #Fuji #instant #film

It’s the beginning of the long Easter Weekend, and it’s raining. Time to make a short film. I live opposite my friend Alexandra, a director, who’s brimming with ideas and flooded with actors, and with the new Canon 5D, we’ve been putting it through its paces for a while now, getting used to its foibles and working around its flaws. So myself, Alex, Charlie, Andrei and Lennard spent the day between Alex’s place and mine, making a short with a twist in the tale… Watch this space for the excellent edit. The 5D drops frames if you’re not careful. It seems that whenever the light changes and there’s an aperture shift, the camera drops the frames and uses the previous frame. Very very very annoying. Solution? Manual mode and lock the exposure. Oh, and control the light.

Update: Here’s the short. It’s awesome. http://www.lexitricity.com/film/the-morning-after/
