Bowring Park

Published at May 25, 2009

These shots were taken at Bowring Park Friday morning before work. I wanted to make sure that I successfully fixed the light leak issue with my AE-1, it was a complete success, and I got a couple of decent photos out of it. Now that I know my two older cameras are working fine, I might try some home darkroom stuff later on this summer. ...


Experimenting With Film

Published at May 19, 2009

I bought a couple of old film cameras this past weekend (a Canon AE-1 and an AV-1). I figured before I really used them, I should put a roll of cheap film through each of them to make sure they worked OK, the results of this test are below. I determined that the AE-1 has a pretty serious light leak (I suspect it’s at the hinge), it put red streaks through a bunch of the photos, and completely washed out a couple....


French Boule
