Today I started making myself a Bolta spool for the Ikko Sha Start 35k from a 12 exposure cassette of Konica VX100 35mm film (expired in 2004). The Ikko Sha takes 35mm film, but instead of using a cassette, like nowadays, it uses unperforated 35mm film on a paper backing. The Bolta spools are slightlyContinue reading “#OldCameraChallenge, Making a Bolta spool for the Ikko Sha Start 35k”

Full spectrum urban photography, 10 May 2022
Discovered a neat trick with the Full spectrum Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ8 today. Set the camera on ‘cool’ mode and images have this lovely false colour appearance in full spectrum.

#OldCameraChallenge, the Ikko Sha Start 35k
I picked up a new camera recently, the Ikko Sha Start 35k. It was completely an impulse buy from Kamerastore, it’s not a camera I have ever heard of before and I could find very little about it online—and in a way that was part of the appeal. I just saw it and thought, ‘IContinue reading “#OldCameraChallenge, the Ikko Sha Start 35k”

This is my second full spectrum conversion for infrared photography. My first attempt, with a Canon Powershot A1400, was only partially successful in that I managed to remove the IR pass filter but it was a little clumsy and the resulting photographs were never quite in focus. No matter how hard I tried. Since gettingContinue reading “Conversion of a Panasonic DMC-TZ8 to full spectrum for infrared photography, 06 May 2022”

Concrete pipes in infrared, 3 May 2022
A couple of weeks ago I took out the the 2€ #shittydigital camera and photographed some long-abandoned concrete pipes. The plan was to use the modified Canon A1400 for some digital infrared photographs, but the weather was not good enough for infrared photography. This morning the weather was ideal, so before our fortnightly shop IContinue reading “Concrete pipes in infrared, 3 May 2022”
