… and says to you “You can have any camera in the world, just tell me what one you want.” What camera do you pick, and why?
I would be hard pressed going past the Canon 5DmkII, purely because I have a range on Canon lenses. There are Leica film cameras that would also be high on the list, and an Olympus Pen F, but I am pretty sure the 5D2 would top the list.
What about you?
Well, have you????, originally uploaded by norbography.
Finally, after trying for months, I have acquired a Polaroid camera. It is a Polaroid OneStep Plus, which actually uses SX-70 film, but you can do a bit of fiddling to get it to accept the easier to get 600 film. Given the cost of the film, I don’t expect to have this camera for long. Anywhere from $20-$30 for a 10 pack!
It does produce some fantastic images though. I have some fiddling to do to get it to stop over exposing the shots. The 600 film is a lot more sensitive than the SX-70 film, and a lot of people who do use 600 film in SX-70 cameras use a ND filter over their lens. Time to have a play on the weekend.
I don’t know how many times I have arrived at a spot and wondered if the sun would rise/set where I thought it would. Well, here is a foolproof way of figuring it out. See Alex’s page below for a great software solution to the problem. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
