Another new venture for MK1 Photography

I write to you on here like a friend that I discuss things with. I have been investigating trying out analogue film photography again, I stared with Olympus way back when I was 11 years old with a superb little point and shoot camera the Olympus Trip 35.

So with that memory firmly coming back into focus I have bought from eBay another camera it is an Olympus 35 RD Range finder circa 1975 I believe. I have yet to run a film through it but have bought from an online store a 24 exposure Kodak TriX 400.

Very soon I will plan to do one roll of film per month development on line and I will "scan" the negatives with my Olympus Em1x and 60mm Macro taking a photograph of each one.

I plan to record on images I take with the camera by recording my exposure as my phone has a lightmeter app on it. I will record this data and take a photo with my camera for viewers on here to enjoy. Below is a phone shot of the new addition

Merry Christmas everyone ⛄ 🎁☃️🌲❄️

Fuji X100V Daily Photos

Fuji X100V Daily So I decided to build a blog about daily photos with my beautiful Fuji X100V I have been a Fuji X photographer for over 10 years and especially the X100. The fixed lens really helps with creativity This image was shot underneath my car port The top light really helped with the shadows I have found walking out and about with my camera a mindful experience, it helps you balance with nature and slow down in this difficult world. The leaves above seem to show sadness at the change of the seasons resting peacefully on a fallen tree Exposure wise for those that are photographers 1/30 sec shutter speed f 3.6 ISO 500, it’s easy to handhold the X100V for a shot like this. I suppose some would ask why not use a phone for these shots? I understand this but being a photographer you need to use a camera!

More off camera flash with The Fujifilm finepix X100

So today was our grandson Freddie care day or as it's known to us "Freddie Friday" I chose the X100 original for all these shots and used a cord to trigger the large V850 Godox flash to fire. I also used a demflip modifier which is basically like a bounce card of old days use. It gives quite soft light as you can see from these shots. If anyone is interested in the actual set up I would be happy to explain my technique and the equipment used. What it does prove is the little original Fujifilm from 2010 still gives wonderful colour and lovely photography.

So it’s the end of the month just another walk

Some different scenes on today’s journey We got out just before the deluge of heavy rain, the first photo was Indi waiting with he favourite rope ball toy. She adores to carry something probably makes her think she has a job! The second picture shows how useful the flip out screen is for a very low down shot, I created the image with the muted colours in mind. The Fuji cameras are almost legendary in their colour science, they follow on from some of the beautiful films I used in the early 1980’s , Astia and Velvia along with the beautiful Acros Black & White. The last photo of Indi was taken indoors and used the Acros film simulation, it was taken at ISO 640 at 1/60 second exposure F2.5 (in photography speak) it renders a smooth rendition tonality of the full blacks and whites. I love this setting! Hope you enjoy the photos please follow and comment for daily updates!
