Way back in Episode 27, the Camerosity gang went on a three hour tour to a tropical paradise and asked everyone what would be their idea of three "desert island" cameras that they would want to be stranded with if they couldn't have anything else.  That discussion proved to be a fun one and something we had wanted to revisit again.  It would take us all the way to Episode 88 when we would finally put out the call for another Desert Island episode. Joining Anthony, Paul, Mike and our new regular host Stephen Strangways, are returning callers A.J. Gentile, Andrew and Christopher Wells, Ira Cohen, Will Pinkham, and first time caller Robin Stone. Starting with this episode, we are welcoming Stephen as one of the regular hosts to the show.  His presence and knowledge on many previous episodes has impressed us, and after considering regular scheduling conflicts with the four regular hosts, we thought it was time to add a fifth person.  Although Theo has missed the last two episodes, he is still very much apart of the show and will return soon.  With a fifth host, in the event one of the "original four" have a scheduling issue, we can continue without hesitation. On this episode, we go through a tremendous amount of GAS, covering many unexpected models including multiple Horseman cameras, a Fuji G617, Argus Brick, Nikon F2, Leica CL, Zeiss-Ikon Tenax II, and many, many others. In addition to commercially available cameras, both Andrew and Christopher Wells share with us their own home made 3D printed large format creations.  Custom cameras built to use any combination of lenses, shutters, and film backs in a million different combinations are truly one of the more fascinating aspects of this hobby.  And if 3D printing your own camera isn't cool enough, Andrew took it a step further and even made his own bellows! In addition to tropical island GAS, we answer the question of why the Nikon F mount is backwards of almost every other interchangeable lens system and the Wells brothers give us a quick update of the state of current Polaroid Originals instant film. Meet Anthony, Paul, and Mike: If you are in the vicinity of Cincinnati, Ohio on Saturday, March 22nd, come to the Ohio Camera Swap at the Hilton Garden Inn Cincinnati/West Chester and say hi to us.  Who knows, maybe even some other Camerosity Podcast regulars will show up as well.  While you're there, maybe you can buy something from us! As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. For our next episode, we will be discussing camera failures and home repairs.  What are some of the most common problems vintage cameras face and what can you do to get them back up and working?  While the Camerosity Podcast fully recommends professional CLAs to keep vintage cameras going as long as possible, we understand that a full service on every vintage camera is impractical, so sometimes you have to take matters in your own hands.  If you aren't afraid to go inside a camera and possibly make it worse, the next episode may be for you!  We will record Episode 89 on Monday, March 10th at 7pm Central Daylight Time and 8pm Eastern Daylight Time. (Note that Daylight Savings Time starts in North America on Sunday, March 9th, so be sure to check your local time if you plan on joining the show!)

When you collect vintage film cameras, if they don't work, just send it out for a CLA and some technician will take it apart, clean it up, lube what needs lubing, calibrate the shutter and it is ready to go, good as new!  How boring!  If the simplicity of CLAing a film camera is not enough of a challenge for you, perhaps you should consider collecting vintage digital cameras.  Incompatible memory cards, legacy file systems, unsupported USB cables, and batteries which no longer hold a charge are all the rage! Although the era of digital cameras barely exceeds three decades, the earliest days of digital saw a tremendous amount of innovation and strange designs because camera makers were still trying to figure out what and how a digital camera should look and work like. In this episode, the Camerosity crew (minus Anthony) go over this early innovative era of digital camera design and pick out some of the coolest cameras of the era.  Many of these cameras have early sensors which do not stand up to the quality of modern designs, but that's not why we collect them, Joining Paul, Theo, and Mike are returning callers AJ Gentile, Larry Effler, Mark Faulkner, Miles Libak, Pat Casey, Stephen Strangways, and Will Pinkham and we cover a great deal of history regarding the earliest and most important digital cameras like the Kodak DCS-100, Nikon E2Ns, and Minolta RD-175.  We declare two cameras from the late 1990s to be historically significant moments in camera design, on par with that of the Leica and Nikon F. Stephen Strangways shares with us his wide depth of knowledge about camera sensors.  We discuss the differences between CCD and CMOS sensors, why companies made the switch between the two, motivations of Live View, and why DSLRs eventually gave way to digital mirrorless cameras. We discuss the limitations of early CCD sensors, what are hot mirror filters, why we think Nikon missed the mark on mirrorless, plus we cover a great deal of cool digital cameras, some of which have features cameras today don't have, like the Sony Cybershot DSC-F828, Olympus E-100 RS, Panasonic GF1, and the Ricoh G900. In addition, Mike shares his large collection of 17 Pentax Q-series cameras, plus a very strange "camera coffin", a wooden Nikon rangefinder camera that has the guts of a Sony alpha mirrorless inside. As it is officially the holiday season and each of our schedules has gotten increasingly complicated, we do not yet know when the next show will be, or what we will discuss.  Rest assured, that once we know, you'll know.  Be sure to follow us on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, our new BlueSky page, and right here on mikeeckman.com.

Looking Back Kathmandu to Everest Photographs from 1973 by Lloyd Johnson Looking Back Kathmandu to Everest is a photo journey by photography Lloyd Johnson, not as a conqueror of mountains, but rather a photographic journey of the people, the culture, and the natural environment. The year was 1973 when Lloyd traveled with his Nikon F cameras. He went beyond the confines of the city of Kathmandu and stepped back in time. After leaving the city, the entire trip was completely without electricity, indoor plumbing, telephone, guest houses or hotels. Out of respect for the people and their way of life, all photographs were taken spontaneously and never set up or posed. Lloyd simply tried to capture the moments of life. Over the  three-week period, he trekked from Kathmandu along the Lamosangu and the Khumbu region. All areas through which climbers or trekker passed on their way to the Everest summit. Lloyd's journey led him through small villages, monasteries, market places, beautiful scenery, and into a life completely different than what we live today.The book gives people an opportunity to look back and see what it was like to live as they did for thousands of years.Lloyd Johnson's interest in photography was inspired during the 1960's while living among a community of artists in Sausalito, California. Lloyd was so captivated by this medium of expression that he opened a photographic studio in North Beach, San Francisco, specializing in interior design and fashion Still a free and creative spirit he now resides in Cloverdale, California where we enjoys photography, gardening, and wine making.https://norfolkpress.com/looking-back-kathmandu-to-everest-lloyd-johnson/https://darkroomart22.com/http://www.ReadersMagnet.com   http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/82224ljrm.mp3

For the second episode in a row, we promise to deliver a thrilling discussion about two brands of Japanese cameras that have more in common than you might think.  Fuji and Ricoh both started making products for the photography industry right before the war, but originally started out in different industries, for Fuji, it was celluloid plastics and Ricoh (then called Riken) it was as a chemicals research company.  Each took a path making lenses and cameras, but in both instances photography was never each company's main focus.  Both Fuji and Ricoh invested heavily in the photocopier industry in the later part of the 20th century, and both successfully made the jump into the digital camera world.  Both companies continue to make new cameras today, Fuji with their excellent lineup of X-Series digital mirrorless, and Ricoh with their GR point and shoots and their ownership of the Pentax brand. In this episode, Anthony, Paul, Theo, and Mike are joined by Paul's personal Fuji rep, Bob Grzesiak, returning callers, Brad Swain, Howard Sandler, Mark Faulkner, Miles Libak, and first time caller, Dan Cuny. We extensively cover many of Fuji's medium format cameras from the Texas Leica, their variety of 4.5x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9, and even their lone 6x12 model, plus the company's mid century rangefinders, the extremely compact and very quirky Fujica Mini, their entry into SLRs with the Fujicarex, the Fuji ST-series, and the unloved Fuji AX-series.  For Ricoh, time is spent on their Auto-Half series and Hi-Color 35, along with some of Ricoh's screw mount SLRs and Mike's favorite Ricoh, the Anscomark M interchangeable lens rangefinder camera. In addition, we get to hear which of these two companies used to throw the best parties for camera dealers, a little bit of history regarding the Fuji Finepix S-Series DSLRs, a bit about the Ricoh GR-series, plus a strange digital camera that had not only interchangeable lenses, but also interchangeable sensors, plus some bonus discussion about Mamiya Prismat "bastard cameras" like the original Ricoh Singlex with the "sorta" Nikon F-mount, and a strange Tower branded camera made by Mamiya with an Ihagee Exakta lens mount and a Canon lens. This proved to be a very lively discussion, covering a huge amount of different camera models from two brands that don't get discussed nearly as often as others.  If you find that your collection is thin on cameras by either of these manufacturers, this is the episode that will surely flare up a case of GAS.  Get ready to open your wallet! For the next episode, we will be exploring the world of third party lens makers like Vivitar, Sigma, Tamron, Spiratone and many others, plus we hope to revisit a topic that started in a thread on the Camerosity Podcast Facebook group regarding home processing.  Episode 74 will be recorded on Monday, July 22nd at 7pm Central Daylight Time and 8pm Eastern Daylight Time.

Throughout its history, Nikon cameras have been primarily aimed at the professional market, from their stunning rangefinders in the S-Range to the original Nikon F and beyond. However, the mid-century and post-war economic boom brought a new group of photographers, the advanced consumer. Now, hobbyist photographers have always been around. These new photographers want access to the same quality cameras and optics as the professionals. And while Canon and Minolta were certainly starting to fill that gap, Nikon wanted a piece of the action. While their initial offerings under the Nikkorex line fell flat, save the Nikkorex F, it was their second attempt, the Nikkormat or Nikkomat line of SLRs, that proved to be successful. And these lovely cameras make for an excellent addition to any Nikon photographer. What set these cameras apart is that Nikon went with the Copal Square shutter for each camera, starting with the Nikkorex F rather than building in-house shutters. Also, the Nikkormat EL is the first Nikon camera with a semi-automatic exposure system. Overall, the Nikkormat line was replaced by the small-form-factor SLRs of the FM and the FE. Nikkormat FT (1965) - The Original Nikkormat body that featured a full F-Mount (Pre-AI) and a metered prisim using the same metering technology as the Nikon Photomic T metering head. Nikkormat FS (1965) - An unmetered version of the Nikkormat FT. Nikkormat FTn (1967) - An improved version of the Nikkormat FT, it now uses a classic 60/40 center-weighted metering. An improved match needle display in the viewfinder. The FTn underwent a number of changes over the course of the camera's production that lasted for nearly a decade. Nikkormat EL (1972) - Uses a CdS meter cell and provides semi-automatic aperture priority auto-exposure. Nikkormat FT2 (1975) - Rolled all the improvements of the FTn into a single camera, and changed the power source from a mercury cell to a silver oxide cell. Nikkormat ELW (1975) - Basically the same camera as the EL, but added the contacts for the AW-1 autowinder. Nikkormat FT3 (1977) - Basically took everything from the FT2, but updated the mount to accept the new AI lenses natively. Nikon EL2 (1977) - An improved ELW, with a SPD metering cell, AI lens support (native).

Very few episodes of the Camerosity Podcast are recorded without mentioning at least one Soviet camera, or something about the Soviet photo industry.  When deciding what we should discuss in future episodes, it was quite a surprise to the gang and I when we realized we had never devoted an entire episode to the subject, so for Episode 56, we put out the call for all our Soviet comrades, poured a large glass of водка, and loaded some film into our favorite Советские Фотоаппараты. Joining us on our tour of camera factories in Moscow, Kyiv, Leningrad, and Minsk are esteemed Soviet camera collector and blogger, Vladislav Kern and all around Soviet enthusiast Mark Beadle.  In addition to Vlad and Mark, regular callers Mark Faulkner, Ray Nason, and Ira Cohen came along for the ride as well. As we often do, Episode 56 starts off with some history and a quick summary of Soviet factories and how their photo industry differed from those in Germany, Japan, and elsewhere.  A whole lot of Soviet GAS was discussed including recommendations for first Soviet cameras for someone whose never shot one, Mike raves repeatedly about Soviet triplets, Paul shares with us his incredibly rare Soviet Leica Summicron lens, and Anthony gets into a discussion about the Soviet motion picture industry. In this episode we talk about Smenas, the half frame Chaika and Agat, the panoramic Horizont, medium format Iskra, the Leningrad and Droug rangefinders, Soviet fakes, swirly bokeh, and a whole host of other Soviet GAS. Later in the show we get into a round of Soviet Mythbusters in which Mike asks Vlad several commonly cited "facts" about Soviet cameras, and whether they are true.  Find out if orphaned children really built FED rangefinders, whether cameras with English logos are built with a higher quality, or whether or not you really need to wind your Soviet camera before changing shutter speeds. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are new to shooting and are interested in having an episode dedicated to people new to the hobby, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining!

Episode 55: Travelling With Cameras and Film

In the first episode of Season 3 of the Camerosity Podcast, the guys and I opened up the call-in lines for the first time since late July and asked everyone who has travelled lately, what their ideal travel cameras are.  When deciding to take some cameras on a trip, what makes the cut or doesn't, and why.  In addition to travelling with cameras, what are your tips for getting through airport security, is it worth getting your film hand checked, or should you separate your film from your cameras into separate luggage. Joining Anthony, Paul, Theo, and Mike are returning callers Mark Faulkner, Patrick Rapps, John Roberts, Howard Sandler, and first time callers Maxwell Whitaker, Mina Saleeb, and Kevin Knipp who all help us answer those questions. In addition to our travel tips, we also stray into the world of mirror lenses and other strange lenses of the 20th century like the Voigtländer Zoomar, KMZ Rubin-1, and the Minolta Rokkor-X 40-80mm f/2.8 "Gear Box Lens".  As we often do, much praise is heaped upon Voigtländer and the Bessamatic SLR and Cosina Bessa Rangefinders, we share our opinions of Minox submini cameras, the Carl Zeiss Jena Werra, AGFA Karat 36, plus many, many others. Later, hear Anthony admit that he's struggling with the decision of whether he needs to rebuy another Leica M3, whether or not people mix digital and film on vacations, and how many times Paul has bought the same camera more than once. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are new to shooting and are interested in having an episode dedicated to people new to the hobby, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, and right here on mikeeckman.com.  We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. For our next episode, we are going red, for Red October.  That's right, the Camerosity Podcast is going to discuss the Soviet Photo Industry.  What are the best cameras to pick up for someone new to the hobby, which ones to avoid, and what are some under the radar models.  So for those of you looking to expand on your Soviet GAS, be sure to join us on Monday, October 2nd for the recording of Episode 56! In This Episode How Do You Decide Which Cameras Will Go With You on a Trip / Theo and Anthony Are Going to Asia Bringing At Least One Digital Camera on a Trip / Panasonic Lumix LX Series John Roberts Took a Canon F1 and Nikon Z5 and Used the Same Lenses Using an Adapter / Mike Loves the Z5 Mina Took a Nikon F-801 with Two AF Lenses Inspecting Film Through Airport Security / Put Film in Clear Bags, Be Polite, and Make the Inspection as Easy as Possible Some Airports Have a No Hand Check Policy / If You Are Eligible for TSA Pre-Check, Do It / ISO 800 Film And Up / CT Scanners Film Shield Bags Are Lined with Lead / Paul Once Lost an Entire Pelican Case of Film in Airport Security Anthony Is Going to Japan / Voigtänder Perkeo II / Olympus XA4 / Minox 35 Howard Brings Cheap Cameras On Trips / Rollei 35 B / Mike Gets Stressed Out If He Brings Too Many Cameras Paul Travels Specifically for Photography and Food / His Wife Traveled with an RB67 One Year If Your Cameras Are Stolen While Travelling, A Tip Is To Also Lose Your Passport So You'll Stop Thinking About the Cameras Getting Film Stolen is Worse Than Cameras Stolen / Travel With Your Cameras and Film Separately Good Compact Digitals for Travel / Ricoh GR / Panasonic Lumix LX100 Olympus Pen F Digital and Film Cameras / Half Frame vs APS-C Micro 4/3 Cameras Are Quite Good / Olympus OM-D EM1X / Olympus Pen Digitals Maxwell's Ideal Travel Camera is a Minox B He Bought from Paul / Getting and Developing Minox Film Slitting Film / 3D Printing Slitters / Using a TLR to Slit Film Anthony is Going to Attempt to Barter His Way to a Good Camera in Japan By Selling Argus C3s Theo and Anthony Love the Zeiss-Ikon Contessa 35 / Mike Not So Much / Voigtländer Vito III Carl Zeiss Jena Werra Series / The Werra is the Only Carl Zeiss Jena Camera Leaf Shutters That Go Faster than 1/500 / Kodak Tourist and Chevron / Minolta V2, V3, and Others Rudi Made Anthony Take a Bunch of 110 Cameras and 110 Film from Him / Minolta and Pentax 110 SLRs Mike Didn't Like the Canon 110ED / Anthony Loved his Minox 110 and the Vitoret 110 Voigtländer Was Owned by Zeiss, Then Rollei, then Licensed to Cosina for the Bessa Rangefinders Voigländer Vitessa, Vito C, Bessamatic, Ultramatic / Voigtländer Zoomar Lenses Russian MTO 500 and 1000mm Mirror Lenses / Maksutov Invented the Catadioptric Lenses for Telescopes Soviet Rubin-1 Is Not a Copy of the Zoomar But is Similar / The Zoomar Originally Came on the KMZ Zenit 6 Mike Attempts to Explain How a Mirror Lens Works / Mirror Lenses Are Almost Always Found in Mint Condition Nikon and Minolta Mirror Lenses / The Rokkor 250mm f/5.6 Mirror Lens is Very Good Minolta Rokkor-X 40-80mm f/2.8 Gearbox Lens Show Suggestions for Season 3 / Yashica / TLRs / Subminis Viscawide 16mm Swing Lens Camera / Large Format / Robert Shanebrook / Another Euro Episode Leicaflex SL Mirror Locks Just like the Nikon F How Many Cameras Have You Bought More Than Once?

Vintage cameras and analog film have grown to be unprecedented media darlings within our crowded digital landscape. With a superstar status fueled by insatiable demand amid a limited supply, in this week's podcast we investigate both the beauty and quirks of these trending tools. Joining us in conversation are photographer / vintage camera buff Bill Bain, and expert camera technician / repair wizard Shlomo Weinberger from B&H Photo's Used Department. Whether you cut your teeth on old school tech or you're an analog adopter in the digital age, there's a topic of interest for everyone, plus plenty of DYI tips to be had, including our favorite—liquid electrical tape! How many of you dedicated camera buffs knew about that? Guests: Bill Bain and Shlomo Weinberger Top Shot © Jill Waterman For more information on our guests and the gear they use, see: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/podcasts/photography/vintage-cameras-with-bill-bain-and-shlomo-weinberger Guest Bios: Bill Bain has loved photography since his teenage years, when all his earnings went towards buying gear and paying for film and development. During a long career as an engineer, photography was a constant thread—particularly documenting his family and their extensive travels. Now living a post-corporate life in the Canadian Rockies, Bain devotes much of his time to photography. In addition to being fully immersed in digital imaging, he continues to make good use of his extensive collection of vintage cameras, many dating from the early 1900s. Bain's analog and digital fine-art images have been featured in Black & White magazine, and his photos of Olympic-style wrestlers have been published internationally. Shlomo Weinberger is a gifted technician who developed a specialty in repairing vintage cameras and lenses over nearly 25 years at B&H Photo. After learning his trade from an old-world technician steeped in the analog age, Weinberger currently operates a special repair shop within B&H Photo's Used Department, where he patiently inspects, calibrates, lubricates, and otherwise assesses the condition of the cameras and lenses that pass through his hands before they are offered to customers.

And today we're looking at a photograph that I wanted to introduce you to add to my portfolio from the Steen's looking up to the Steen's from the Alvord Desert It was I think for about a week or so that we camped in the Alvord on the old lake basin with the playa that's there now is a really beautiful spot and it's very cool. And it's one of my favorite spots in Oregon. And what I liked about this photograph is this is right before the sun rose, where we were camped I think there was so much in the shade as you can kind of tell by the ground there. But what was neat is as you look up the to the eastern wall there that that peak of the steam is rising 1000s of feet higher than where we are in the Alvord. And so the sun shines on that earlier, which was cool to see the dawn light hit the kind of intricate shape of the mountain to the scenes for a few minutes before it rose right where we were around our camp, I just thought was a cool moment. And it's a really beautiful spot to be this was photographed on film with a wide-angle lens and like a Nikon. And it was a great time and I love being up there in Alvord's cool spot I'll probably always talk well a bit, but amazing to see how the landscape has changed just in the way it used to be wet or used to be a lake. And that's just so dry out there. It's amazing how things could change. That's a really interesting way to see it. 1:52 You can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo comm you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think if you look at Billy Newman under the author's section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism, camping, and cool stuff over there. If like I say I like the October period, you know it's kind of a cool outdoor month for stuff and that's kind of what I'm going to talk about too is kind of layering up stuff for October I've been trying to kind of build up the layers of clothes and layers of like shelter stuff that I have for some of the outdoor travel stuff that I go out and do and I do it on a budget and I don't have much stuff and like other people have a lot more experience of like just getting to try all these different pieces and see like the benefits or the kind of way out the pluses and minuses are different pieces. And so I'm sure it's probably the case that like the best gear is always the best gear. It's kind of interesting to sort of go through those checklists or you know, like kind of in your mind like seeing like what like how's this work or what's better for me for this thing or not. So I've been pretty happy to always have or for the last couple years to have like a vortex range outlay and for a lot of outdoor stuff that I do in Oregon, later into the year that's been like a real lifesaver for having just like a hard waterproof shell that I can like the trust that has like a good hold on it that can keep me dry for most of the day. That along with I guess kinda working inward like the puffy jacket makes a huge difference. And so I use a puffy jacket all the time. There are a few different sizes though and you sort of have to like look at the down-fill layer to see what's going to be best for you and like the climate that you're going out to. That is kind of weird, it goes back and forth through me a little bit. So like out here in Oregon, where I am like west of the Cascades it's sort of a mild climate a lot of the year and so I'm able to I think you're kind of dealing with like above freezing temperatures. Most hours and on most days for the year I think like you know there's some sections of the year where you get some heavy freezes but outside of those storm times it's like pretty mild weather a lot of the time and if I'm going camping or doing something outdoors in the winter I well there are a couple of different types I definitely use it but really for a lot of like the three season work I do I use a light puffy jacket either because North Face thermal thermoball I think it's like a polyester based one. It's not a downfield, puffy jacket but I've used that for maybe six years now and I appreciate you having that. I think it's been great. That's probably one of my most used insulating layers when I'm going out and I mean works great, really all four seasons with the kind of compared and these mild weather circumstances like I am here in Oregon like that paired with that Shell has been enough for me to go out and in almost every kind of weather circumstances I've been in when I've gone out and been working or like when I was working outside a lot in the rain and trying to be si Like most days through the fall and winter, it was really fine to do that with a strong or like a good Gortex shell that keeps you dry all the way and puffy, thermo insulating layer that keeps you warm. So it was pretty cool but kind of comparing that and I have like this Patagonia jacket that I think has a heavier down fill rating and that has a lot of insulation to it, which is cool, warm jackets are great. And I take that out kind of deeper into the winter. But what I noticed though, is that for a lot of circumstances, like I say three season work and while you're working or kind of like physically kind of exerting yourself I've noticed like if it's not below freezing that is too warm of a jacket to wear. And so you kind of get to pick a little bit of like where your, your environmental thresholds are like what kind of environment you spend a lot of time and is it going to be above freezing temperatures or below freezing temperatures? Or is it gonna be hot weather temperatures, like where you're working, you know, your coldest temperatures might be 50, but you're going up toward like the 80s and 90s pretty regularly? And that's kind of a different environment to work into. So I've been kind of trying to keep an eye on that but as we're kind of dropping into October the outfitting stuff that I'm doing is sort of away from the heat gear stuff that I would have been using where I'm in like lighter synthetic shorts and trying to use like lighter layers and stuff like in the winter you kind of get to layer up and stuff we're just got some kind of fun sweater weather right 6:31 what I picked up last year and I'm kind of excited to put some more use into it was a wool baselayer so I got a great wool t-shirt and I kind of appreciate trying to cut out some of the cotton material that I'm using when I'm going out and doing some more outdoor stuff and I guess it's because back in the day cotton was a great revolution right you know, it was a more breathable fabric and it would dry faster than other fabrics that they had available to them I guess is part of what was cool about it. But as I sort of understand now it's one of the riskier types of fabric that you can wear as a base layer when you're out in the woods for a couple of days or when you're out camping or you know the talking TV shows about when you're in a survival situation. Not that but yeah, when you're out camping or if you were gonna go hunting or you're gonna go on a couple of day photo trip in the woods, you're just going to be living out of your truck and stuff, it kind of it ends up being a little difficult to use a lot of cotton pieces especially if you're going to get wet or if it's cold and you don't want to get wet but you do get wet and that's a bummer because the cotton stuff just kind of stays wet and it gets cold when it gets wet. And a couple of those things just sort of lead to it being a little bit frustrating and I guess that's where some of the survival complications of happy with people who are out in okay conditions they get hit with cold rain or wet snow and they're in like an outer let you know their insulating layers but they're like a cotton coating. Or like I guess tough warm-insulated Carhartt jackets on hunting in that they got into some wet snow on the second morning. The car hard wet pants got or the pants that were insulated got wet from the tall grass and brush that they walk through and then the person became hypothermic because of their exposure to the cold that soaked through their pants that got them very cold and I think they had to like ditch the band's get into their sleeping bag it was synthetic and then they try to like to warm them up with a hot water bottle in a sleeping bag or something like that out of the Jetboil but like it ended the trip I think they like they can't continue out of that sort of stuff so it's kind of interesting I like that kind of thing can go and people have probably heard anecdotes like that similarly in the past I'd hear like someone else talking about like a warm weather thing where I think they're going out on like a 42-day canoe trip Can you imagine that like going through some big river system and Labrador up in Canada? Wow, fun times popping out in Hudson Bay or something who knows? But they would go up there and they would talk about like all like the specific limitations on the type of fabrics that they would select to use because like if they got wet in the river, or I think it was like cold weather or who knows what kind of weather you're gonna get sort of circumstance where you go between hot and cold and Canada kayaking or canoeing down 1100 miles or something like that just big long trips like that. And they would kind of be really specific about how like they won't even have cotton boxers or cotton underwear because it'll be the thing that ends up being a problem for other people or another person. I think kind of there are a lot of great ways to sort of work through this next problem, but I think someone argued that they did have cotton on them so that they could use it as a fire starter. If they needed a fire starter. I said Just to just bring a Firestarter or some other material like that I think it would probably get you by a little better than your cotton underwear. The best Firestarter that I've used and heard about was 10:18 well, I mean yeah like a stove or whatever but if you're trying to light a fire in the winter having a plastic bag with Vaseline-dipped cotton swabs was like a pretty inert material. Just like having a backpack that doesn't smell like kerosene or something. And it has multiple uses you can use it cosmetically for everything's our best, if your lips chap, I hate when it gets dry and cold and you go oh man, my pores can't handle it. They were in a different environment. 5000 feet a difference in elevation a day ago, too much change and too much seasonal change. Now you get like, I don't know just rough spots or dry spots or something you use the Vaseline you get the cotton swabs for all sorts of different things, but they're fantastic. If you light that up. It's a great little flame ball and you can use that with a stack of your other dry materials to get a fire going. Even in pretty wet conditions especially if you're kind of keeping your Firestarter material protected. And some little party backpacks give it a try and stuff that works out pretty well. And I think it works better than your underwear on a rafting trip. So but yeah, I've heard of that. Yeah, people, people try to not use that people try to like drop their leather belts. Like they won't take a leather belt out into the woods either. Like I wouldn't like a sturdy belt. Like what you see people like big leather boots or whatever it's not because it gets washed, and waterlogged. But I guess because it's maybe a weight thing. I think that's what the idea was for. Maybe they're like going backpacking and using a piece of nylon webbing as a belt at that time. or other stuff we're like, I don't know just little tricks and things of like how you kind of hide certain materials and other materials and stuff. But it's weird how it goes. So I guess yeah, cotton stuff is sort of a go. They talk about using wool a lot as sort of like a preferred material to make it out of or down here like down stuff is kind of a preferred material. And then I also kind of hear similarly, sided, bad things about sort of the petroleum develop products that you get from polyesters or nylons, or I guess like the polyester insulating foams, you get like those thermo ball insulating foam bits that would be in the pouches of another polyester material that makes up like the puffy jacket that I wear. For the Patagonia one that's a downfield, puffy jacket. You have little goose feathers poking, poking out of it all the time, too. Yeah, I feel like you feel around the right way a little goose feather I'll punch out the side and pull it out a little feather right there a little down feather, which is kind of trippy. But those I guess are like a better insulating system. Then like the synthetic kind of oil-based stuff. I guess the same goes for like sleeping bags too. If you want to get into like a sleeping bag to keep you warm. There's something like the 15-degree bags that are well, I don't know, I think it has a couple of other features too. I guess it's like light and it stretches down well. And if you get it wet, you can get a drag and well I guess it depends on like certain qualities down sometimes that kind of get I think is a little tricky. But the wall I guess you can get, you can have to get wet, you'll stay warm, and you can get it dry faster. And I think that's sort of the benefit of the wall on the animal that gets wet too. You know, like if you think about sheep getting rained on all the time, I guess it's sort of part of the fibers that it doesn't attract a lot of odor because it has to be on an animal all the time. And I guess it does well to not have to, like make you cold when it gets wet. I guess that's a big part of it. So a lot of the merino wool fabrics that have come out, or the merino wool blends that are with some little bit of spandex or some other kind of natural fiber product that they try and put in helps to kind of be a little bit more durable when they have those little blends. But mostly you want a pretty strong merino wool fabric. And that's pretty cool if you're getting sort of like a base layer, or something like that it's a little bit more tuned for the outdoors like wool sweaters or something that you can find but that's not quite their cool old white shirts, you know, like an old old Pendleton shirt or an old Filson shirt that's like a loggers kind of wool button that would go under like a canvas jacket. I kind of think is cool but that's sort of a different look. And it used to be the technical gear layering and probably still you'd see if you get like, I don't know like a horse guide like a guided trip with a horse or a mule or something like that. That's the pack and a bunch of stuff. They probably still use gear that's sort of similar to that. Without the kind of like the technical synthetic gear that you try and find it like Rei hiking places or something or wherever whatever else similarly branded but yeah it's cool trying to do some wool Merino underlayers trying to work with those puffy jackets when they can 15:19 try to work with lavish a soft shell that gets a lot less useful than it used to be. I used to try new soft shells all the time but I just kind of go with the wool, the wool base layer, The North Face kind of wore you know like a warmer temperature-rated puffy jacket and then have the GoreTex layer over that picked up a hat this year. That's pretty cool that boots had a couple of different sets of boots for the October stuff before it gets really heavy in the season before it gets like real wet or rainy. Now while I'm kind of doing some of this lighter outdoor stuff I have like a pair of heavy leather boots that are super cool for some of that deeper hiking stuff that you get into especially after it's wet and rainy and stuff but really for a lot of the light season stuff and sort of summer spring stuff. I have these Nike s FB boots it's like that military dude I picked them up in brown like a desert tan color. And then I also picked up a similar pair that under armor makes and so they're kind of like a lighter, more athletic shoe from the base but they have like kind of tall neck that goes up to like your mid-upper ankle there. And so it's not like a real table or like it's not like galoshes they're not waterproof they're kind of vent on the sides and they dry out they're kind of like a synthetic material that dries out pretty quick when you do get it wet but it also has like a good bit of tread and you can get wet get them dry and wet. I think they're kind of made for an okay dry environment that's sort of where I use most of the time you know hiking around for any of this kind of lighter duty for us that was nice because they're light boots like with those other heavy leather ones like just the soles of the boots seem like they pound each you know you kind of like feel it the first couple of days you getting back into the use of them during the season where you're like man my feet are like four pounds heavier it seems like each just kind of like walking with a weight on it. So it's nice to have one of the newer sorts of higher tech boots that don't have the same kind of ankle support as a thicker leather boot does or they don't have the same kind of heel support. I like to talk about like those you know thick like a two-inch heel or something that like one of those whites boots has or if you get like Red Wings they have like a real deep thick heel on it that you can use to kind of stomp in and cut in on some hiking stuff and these Yeah, it's just kind of like a good sort of smooth walking boot and you get some ankle support from that that tall neck but it's sort of fabric so that it seems like it you're just it's a light boot and seems like you're ready to run and you can do like an athletic maneuver in these pretty well and it doesn't seem like the boots gonna be too heavy to slow you down not right for every circumstance like if I'm going in a deeper area it's cool it's nice to have like the kind of protection of a steel toed leather boot but like the normal s sfbs I think are not a steel toe I think I think these Under Armour ones though are there are steel toe versions that are out there. But that does seem to I've kind of run into a few circumstances where for some of the more woodsy stuff it seems like having the steel toe has helped a lot to keep my feet protected and stuff and if you hate gonna lie you gotta watch out for blisters and stuff too. One of the big things I've noticed to help that is like really breaking in your shoes with three weeks or more but three weeks of like pretty near full-time use to start getting them broken in or to get kind of the feel the break the crease the kind of the fabric kind of working together in the way that it's going to fit around your body and stuff but yeah, it seems like it takes about three weeks to sort of get those issues broken into a spot that that ends up being uncomfortable for longer trips and longer where I had like a pair of chocobos then this jacket was they were great you know that you don't wear socks you don't like buffer it with wool socks or something but I remember I think working with those for like three weeks or so at first your feet, man, they will rub raw 19:25 Yeah. Yeah, they'll you'll get some hot spots with the webbing on those chocolates. It's like this really kind of tough webbing but after like three weeks or so like after you kind of wear your foot into it so that it's kind of strong enough to deal with it. And you also start breaking in the rubber of the boot or the rubber of that foot for the shoe. You're your foot. But once you get that all kind of broken and I was able to hike for miles and miles and have no rub problems at all. I think I did. I think I did the whole hiking trip up to the summit. The paintbrush divide and the cascade Can you know like the Teton's chip I talked about some times But yeah, I did that whole hiking trip of the Tetons in early, mid-late September, probably right around now. But I did that trip in the Tetons, with just those, those black shakos that I had had like kind of that boot tread bottom and I did great through that whole chip I did like a 42-mile trip down the lower road that was like a hiking backpacking trip so you have a background backpack on you got these little river shoes on and you're hiking away on the trail and yeah, a lot of the times if you're not really in shape for it man, those will just rip your feet up pretty badly and I've seen it affect people's trips before you know like where their shoes just like really start to bite in on them. And it happens fast. As soon as you get like a hotspot or something it can be just a quarter mile or another mile and then like that, that problem has been exacerbated a lot. So as soon as like gets bad boom man gets bad fat or it starts to degrade fast and then once it's gone it's gone on for a while, you know so it's bad and it can cause some mobility problems when you're out there. So I think kind of to kind of deal with some of that stuff. We're kind of breaking them in earliest School, which is what I've been trying to do with some of my shoes but yeah, trying to get outfitted for this stuff in October it's been kind of fun trying to work out the layers and stuff.

And I want to get back into that in a way because right now I don't have a film camera with me, I still have the Nikon en ad floating around. Though I'm short a lens or you know that's what I'm saying is like I've kind of made it an investment now into this whole range of focal lengths that have been quite nice pieces of glass over on the Canon side now. And so I'd like an opportunity to be able to take those photographs on film with that range of glass that I now have available to me. So what I'm looking at trying to do is, is trying to pick up one of these older now but one of these older but one of the last runs of film cameras that canon had put out and so I was looking around and trying to do some research for that. When I talked to you guys before about it. In the podcast, I was mentioning that I picked up a Nikon F for a camera that was the fully manual camera or you know like no I don't it wasn't for me anyway, I think it was autofocus and I had a whole color matrix It was one of the first cameras have that color matrix auto system in it where you could kind of like set it up. But nav has a lot of those same features what I'm trying to do to get to the point is I'm looking at the EOS line of film cameras that canon produced in the 1990s and the 2000s. And there's a lot of opportunities there where you can pick up a very nice camera body that you know shoot film, and that would kind of accompany the five D Mark three and all the Canon lenses that I have now. So I was looking at the EOS one n which I think is the camera that can come out in 1994 it looks quite a bit like a five-D body shape but it's not like that. It was it's not the oversize body but it looks you know just kinda like that camera SLR body style. And as a bunch of the features on the back, I think has that roller wheel that canon users have gotten accustomed to it probably was one of the first cameras to introduce that big roller wheel to control your F stop, and then the other roller on the front to control your aperture. So it was kind of it's interesting how it's laid out. But it feels like it looks almost the same way. So I'm looking around at those that came out in 1994. And then in the year 2000. They had come out with the EOS one DC one n before. What was it? I think I wrote it down over here. I can't remember what it was. There was the one and maybe the one h sunray. What would it have been? Let's look here is the one v that's I think the one I'm looking for. Yeah, the one V is that the film camera that canon produced in the year 2000, and probably up through like 2006 or 2007 or 2008 there's probably even new versions of that body that are still around if you notice those hardcore film users out there, so I'm looking around at some of those on the US market, I think they're like three, four, maybe 500 bucks if it's kind of on the higher end of expense but but I'm looking at some of those and it seems like it'd be kind of an interesting purchase to pick one of those up, then it could be shooting you know, film images like I have had an interest in doing with a professional body that kind of matched a lot of the same layout and workflow that that the five D Mark three that I'm using has, so I'm pretty interested in that and then I can use all this L class that I've been making a purchase of two so I have the super wide angle, or I don't know is it super wide, I think it's just a wide angle zoom for that 17 to 40 millimeter f4 I've got the 24 to 72 a i would have the 70 to 200 USM f4 and then I would have a couple prime lenses on top of that so it's like a pretty full collection of glass that I could use to make a whole bunch of different types of art or you know, like different different photographs different pieces that I'd be interested in trying to produce. And you know, like a lot of the film stuff I was I was building like all the stuff that was on that film book that I put together that was almost all done with a Nikon 50 millimeter f1 A and maybe like a couple of manual focus lenses that I should not have been using actually kind of knowing better now. The optics of those we're always kind of thanks a lot for checking out this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast.

Today I'm talking more about SSH. I'm sure that's what everybody is excited to hear about. Today I was going to talk a little bit about what you can do, I guess to get to your local network from your iPhone, it's kind of interesting how you can access an SSH server or host from a terminal SSH app on your iPhone, it's kind of a cool way to do it. And it really visualizes the terminal pretty functionally. And it's an interesting way to get access to all of your files that are at home. Now to do this on a more complex scale, you have to do some kind of tricky router, port forwarding. I know it's kind of a scary set of words. But sort of on the more small scale, you can do it I guess just from your phone while you're on your local network. Or like let's say you're at work and you have a bigger like work wireless network. If you're on that local network, you can get an app like Terminus that's the one I'm using right now you search SSH in the app store and you can find a ton of stuff but I'm using this app Terminus to log in to my home computer and then access my files or FTP, myself photographs or something like that. It's kind of interesting, but it's really kind of a novelty right now until I can figure out how to do some some higher level stuff with it. I'm learning how to use like back to my Mac, some of the remote login stuff to kind of also set up a shell system I get so kind of cool, but some interesting sort of geeky stuff that I've been been messing around with the last couple weeks that's probably what you've been seeing on my Instagram stories. If you've been watching those, it's just me like, hey, look at this thing in SSH. I logged into a server no way get it you can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo comm you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think if you look up Billy Newman under the authors section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism on camping, you cool stuff over there and wanted to jump into a couple of the things I've been doing through the month of July and some of the outdoor camping and travel stuff I've been up to I was gonna run down some of that in this podcast today I wanted to talk about a trip I did out toward Eastern Oregon I think like last week before last is when I was out in this area and I was trying to get some good observations in for comet neowise I'm not sure if any of you guys got to check that out while it was in its prime viewing section there I think that was why we had kind of like the new moon before it switched over to being gibbous moon or nearly full moon like it's been the last week or so but I think was it around like the 15th through the 25th or so of July there's some pretty good observations to be made of comet Neo wise and I guess after after kind of reading about it a little bit it's not considered a great comment like Hale Bopp was or I think it was was an eye talkie in 1996 we haven't had a great comment in a long time I've ever seen those when I was a kid though that was pretty cool like watching the Hale Bopp come through for it seemed like three months or something you know that you're just kind of looking at that in the in the low corners of the northwestern and Western skies It was kind of cruising across the skyline I remember that still from from like third fourth grade when it was coming through and I also remember the year before that when when like straight up in the air you know like straight up in the sky at night for it was only like a week or so I was a kid you know but I remember for that week you can see a real bright two tailed comet those guns I think I can't remember how to pronounce i think is how you talk here. I think it's some it's some Japanese name. Pretty sure but that was a really cool one that one I still remember really clearly I was only like, I don't know seven or something when that like when when that comic came through but I really appreciate getting to make some observations with that one as a kid. I missed Halley's Comet though back in what 87 I think was the last one it It came through and I probably will be the few years that you know that decade or two of age range that doesn't get to see Halley's Comet in their lifetime. So I think I think I was born in 88 of course so if I make it past 100 maybe I'll see it what is it maybe like 80 something years so it's probably not going to come back around until I think it's like the 2017 or 2000 80s that I'd have to make it to for the see Halley's Comet again. 4:50 That'd be fun, but I don't know maybe we'll see a future. The future is at that time. But it was really cool to get to see comet neowise It was just a little below what would be the legs and feet of Ursa Major, the Big Dipper, or like the big bear as it would kind of be observed. But if you kind of look at the deeper part that we're all, mostly familiar with, if you kind of consider Ursa Major, the larger bear constellation that it's structured on, if you kind of look down below the dipper is where I was able to make my observations of comet neowise. And over here in the elevation area that I'm at, in Western Oregon, it's about 200 or 300 feet above sea level. And there's there's kind of a constant problem with haze and with light pollution in this area. And I think it has to do something with the well I mean, of course, the you know, the amount of population that's around and but also, something about the air quality, or about how the air kind of flows out around here that just doesn't ever seem to be as crisp or as dark as you can get up in the mountains. And, and really, it's just like a stunning difference, when you're able to get out further and make some some more clear observations, you know, the level of magnitude of stars that you're able to reveal, just in a dark night is so much more crisp and clear. It's just like a total difference. So it was cool to I think I first was able to spot just a little fuzzy bit of a second magnitude version of comet neowise while I was here in town, but I tried to make a special trip out toward Eastern Oregon out into the desert just to do some camping stuff. But what I wanted to do at the same time was make some good observations and also try and get some good photographs of comet neowise as it was coming through during its period, where you could, you could make some, some good sightings of it, but it was cool. So going out to Eastern Oregon, as it got dark, a little past 1030 or so as you look to the northwest, you can really see the comet and its tail spread for a couple inches in the sky. And I was really surprised to notice how little of it you could really make out I see when you're in an area of almost any light pollution, once you're back in town, or once you're in a lower elevation area. With some light pollution and haze around it was really difficult to make out in the same way that I could out in the desert or out in the mountains. And so I thought that was pretty cool to get to get to see and get to check out over there. But yeah, as a blast getting to do some stuff out in Eastern Oregon, I went over to the john de river area. And I was checking out that area. There's a lot of public land out in that area. But there's also some a lot of private land too. It's just kind of an interesting area, how it sort of broken up and it was cool to get to go out go out to the I headed out to Madras and then I took off and headed over East there until I ran into the john de River. And then I was able to use this map that I have to go through and find some of the open off or just the open roads that are you know, smaller gravel roads that are set up to kind of traverse the back country out there. So I was able to find a few of those that were open and travel around on those for a while. And that was pretty cool. I was able to find some dispersed campsites and set up right along the john de River, which is really cool. It's a beautiful area out there. It's kind of interesting, the john de river flows through this sort of, I guess it would be I don't know it's kind of like Canyon land and it's also sort of these rolling grass hills that sort of make up the landscape of, of Northern northern and northeastern Oregon. And I think Yeah, as soon as you kind of get a little bit for like a little bit north of bend is when you get out of the Great Basin area and you start to get into another kind of landscape that seems to stretch up north of the Columbia River up into Washington I've heard that some of it's from like really old 8:53 deposits from the river systems in the waterways that were up there and how it were like there's old old deposits and then an erosion that's happened from those rivers running through the area for such a long time but but really cool to see kind of the rolling hills and then some of the carved out canyons that go through the john de river area up there when I found the campsite I was at I was pretty far away from everybody and I was really far away from any substantial town I think it was near i don't know i don't even know what it is there wasn't anything there when I drove through there's a bridge and a couple little ranch houses you know real ranches right? Like just a little a little a little house like a little two bedroom house and then 100 acres of cattle to deal with so it seems uh seems like another life out there I wonder how they're dealing with you know, kind of the way the world is things are this summer, but it was cool. Yeah, getting out there. Went to already kind of set up my campsite and stuff had my truck going. And that was all pretty easygoing. But then I waited till dark after 1030 Yeah, comment neowise is really visible up below the Big Dipper. That was pretty cool to get to see out there in Eastern Oregon really bright really clear, you could almost make out the second tail I have my binoculars with me. I think there's some 10 by 40 twos. And those really well to view it to view the comment library really crisp through there through the binoculars and yeah, really easy to spot most of the night Even just to the naked eye, it was really easy to spot it was like, Oh yeah, it's right there, there's a comment, it's just a big whisper in the sky. So it was really cool to get to view it, what I did is I set up my tripod, and I have my camera with me. So I set it up with a really wide angle. And then I was trying to get some photographs of it as it was, as the comment was sort of coming down to set on the landscape of the hillside, you know, as the hours went on into the night. So I think I stayed out until maybe one or two in the morning, when the Big Dipper was sort of scooping down a little low onto the horizon. And then at that point, the place where the comment was dipped below the horizon and then was out of view for the rest of the evening. And I think even into the morning, I think by that time when I was photographing it, it wasn't it wasn't visible any longer. up in the morning sky, I think they said you know, at first in early July, you could kind of view it around Capella, if you were able to get out early enough, say three or four in the morning. But as as the direction as it was moving, it was kind of creeping up pretty quickly or you know, day over day over day, it would kind of move a good chunk through the sky. And in the direction that it was moving, it was moving to be more visible at the nighttime which really offered more hours of good observation time, which I thought was pretty cool to wait until it was really dark enough in the northwest view of the sky probably about 1030 onward is when you're finally able to make out those kind of finer points of light in the sky in that region. So it was really cool, set up the tripod, set up the camera, set up some manual focus to to get it kind of set sharp at night you can't you can't use autofocus when you're trying to make photographs of the night sky, the stars because it just kind of seeps back and forth you have to set it to manual focus and then 12:15 ring out your your focus ring to infinity and then just back a little bit you'll notice this every time if you do it, it's really frustrating the dark because you can't really always make it out in an easy way and edit your mistake quickly. But if you go all the way to infinity and then take fixed pictures there the night sky you're going to notice that this points of light that are the stars sort of end up a little fuzzy and it's because all the way to infinity for whatever reason just isn't quite in focus at infinity. So you have to go all the way up to infinity and then back it off just a little bit. And that'll nearly ensure that most of that part of the image is in focus the whole way and it's difficult even even if you do have an F stop that's a little bit more tightened out say like an f4 six or something you're still gonna get a lot of that out of focus softness, if the focus ring isn't really dialed into the right spot. So I try to work on that a little bit. And yeah, dialed in my focus was able to set it up with reasonable ISO to get some images of the night sky and pick up some of those finer points of light and then it was able to take a series of photographs in a few different locations out there in the john de River Valley which I thought was really cool is pretty to be out there and it was a nice night really warm in the River Canyon and really remote to like I was mentioned I think I was the only person out there for a few miles I saw another another group coming in on a like a little midsize SUV and they were going fishing out of the bend in the river a couple miles up from where I was this I took my truck down a little further and camped out just on the side of the river. It was cool nice Green River up to the kind of high desert tan rim rock that runs the area around there. So it was it was a cool evening cool campsite area it's cool spot to check out comet neowise too. So I tried to check it out. Up until I don't know what 130 in the morning when I couldn't see it anymore and then spent the night out there out in the john de river area and then the next morning got up and try to check out some of the different roads and stuff that went around.

I sold that off now years ago and kind of moved it over into other other camera equipment over time. But that's what I got while I was in college is a really good camera for me to learn on and kind of learn some of the fundamentals of working with a digital camera and I had a lot of fun working with I made it like a ton of photographs with it. then pretty soon after that. I tried to switch over to something that was more of a professional body when I was trying to take some of the work that I was doing a little more seriously and when I was trying to get hired as a photographer to do really even just student projects at the time I was trying to get a couple extra lenses and I was trying to get a couple stronger features in the in the camera body that I was using. So at the time I think it was in like 2008 2009 actually I think it was in 2009 I bought my first like professional body that Nikon D two H and at that time that was already a pretty antiquated camera I think in 2009 it probably came out in 2003 I think is what it was. So it's already like a pretty big gap in time there there's been at that time especially in that decade. There's just so much advancement in the way that sensors worked in the way that the scene wasn't even a CMOS It was like an elb caste is like an lb ca St. Named sensor. I don't even know what that is but it was different than the CMR system that would be in a lot of cameras I think that maybe we probably find now or you know like the sensor piece in the back and it wasn't full frame either it was in even the professional and it wasn't full frame it was still like that crop sensor that Nikon had. So it was good for for a long time and I was really happy to use it and happy to kind of learn on that camera it had a ton of features and really I probably go back to that that full professional body of Nikon. If If I was just to pick any camera that I wanted to use, I think like a Nikon D five would be an amazing camera to work with. But at the time, what I was trying to do was get a job at a newspaper like the student newspaper when I was going to college and to try and get some jobs or you know trying to get get some activity to try and go and take different photographs in different locations. And that job was great. It was cool working for the student newspaper because you get to go to different locations and try and make some interesting photo out of something that's probably not very interesting. It's normally like a person talking to a to a classroom with beige walls and low level ceiling light or something like that every once in a while you get to go to a football game or something like that so that you don't really have the opportunity to go to normally that was really fun that was interesting and it provided me a lot of opportunities to do some some different you know work with different lenses work with you know, different lighting and some sort of you know, interesting and dynamic subject matter. But a lot of the time like I mentioned it was like I think I had to go photograph that they were removing pipes from a student building on some side of campus I hadn't been to before so it was it was the I was supposed to take a photograph of the absence of pipes didn't really make a lot of sense it wasn't really a very interesting photo and there was no people or story around it so it's you know it's always something like that or it seemed to be often something like that. That was just like had almost no subject to take a photograph so it was a challenge in that way. But it was really fun when you got to do something cool so that's that's why I bought that that Nikon D to H and then to a company that I think I tried to save up some money in college that was hard for me to do. I tried to save up I think like $150 or something like that to buy the 50 millimeter one eight lens there was like I don't know the version of nifty 50 that they have over on the Nikon side It was great to use and and that that kit there that the D to H and the than the 50 millimeter was what I used to take a bunch of photographs for the next many years is a great kit of a camera to have it work really well to take I think like a bunch of the cool landscape stuff that I did on the first couple trips they did were just both with that setup. So I bought that I bought that Nikon D two h USD on eBay when I made that purchase of it. And I use that camera probably for the longest amount of time. Like I think I used that up until like around 2013 or so when I was kind of trying to shift away from it. And that's when I was getting into more film photography stuff at that time I actually switched over to a an even or just a different camera, a Nikon n 80 film camera because I was I was doing a ton of stuff with with film and film roles at the time. And then I bought a Nikon F four s another film body camera that was from like the 90s I think is when that one was manufactured. I think it first came out in like 1988 that I probably mentioned a couple 20:07 times. Thanks a lot for checking out this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast.

Myself and most of the people listening to this podcast are well aware of what it's like to buy film cameras and photography gear, but less of us know what it's like to sell it.  On this, the 30th episode of the Camerosity Podcast, the gang and I bring on some current and former employees of various camera stores to give us some insight into what it's like on the other side of the counter. From Gene's Camera in South Bend, Indiana, we have owner Jack St. Pierre and regular guest Jon Gilchrist.  From Alpine Camera in Des Plaines, Illinois, owner Chuck Miller.  From South Florida, former camera store employee of Gold Triangle Department Store is Stephen Grasso, and finally, our own host and former camera store employee and owner, Paul Rybolt share with us stories of how things used to be, and also discuss some of the biggest changes they saw in the industry during their time. Joining our camera store crew are returning callers, Hong Lee, Mark Faulkner, Andrew Smith, Jess Ibarra, and Michael Gossett, and first time callers Andrew Almendarez and Steven Lederman who bring up other interesting topics like whether buying cameras make for good investments, whether lens fungus is contagious, and where the origins are of Kodak film. In addition to all of these exciting discussions, we witnessed the first ever "IN SHOW" purchase where Stephen Grasso buys something from Paul's eBay store!  Make sure you listen in and find out what camera it is! As always the topics and discussions on the Camerosity Podcast are entirely up to you.  While we make an attempt to have a general idea on how to get a show started, the topics almost always veer off into wild and unexpected directions.  If you'd like to ask us a question or wish to hear us discuss your favorite brand of camera or film, consider joining us on our next episode and steer us in that direction!

Of course, with any trip comes the difficult decision of what gear should we bring?  Is compactness, performance, or ruggedness a deciding factor?  Should you bring in a large format camera to maximize detail on the tropical vistas you aren't likely to see again, or would a compact folder be a better option so that there's less for you to lug around? Joining us this week is Aiden Dean, back from last episode, who travels with us and brings with him three very interesting selections.  Listen in as everyone talks about their "Tropical Island Cameras" and why we selected them!

The Heartbreaking Disaster of Zeiss Lenses and How It Happened

The Phoblographer

Let's be very honest here, Zeiss lenses are fantastic. They're capable in every single way. For years, they also had some of the best image quality you could ever get from a lens. Zeiss lenses were available for Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, Leica-M, and Fujifilm X cameras. But they quietly disappeared from the photo industry with more of a focus on cinema. So what happened? Well, I'd like to relay what I've seen in my 12 years of journalism and covering the Zeiss company. You can view this article and much more with minimal banner ads in our brand new app for iOS, iPadOS, and Android. And for $24.99/year, you can have a banner ad-free experience. For many years, Zeiss has been known as a premium lens manufacturer that offered a wonderful look. They were popular among Leica photographers and a few Canon photographers who used 5D cameras. The lenses gave a look Japanese manufacturers just weren't offering. Zeiss optics were better: sharper, more contrasty, more vivid, and delivered beautiful focus fall-off. It's was sometimes pretty obvious to tell when you were seeing a Zeiss image. We were reviewing them not long after I started the site in 2009. My first experience with Zeiss lenses was back in 2010. That's over a decade ago. And even when I look back at that very old blog post, I still get goosebumps about how nice those photos are. A few times, I've gone to eBay to find some of those old Zeiss gems for DSLRs. You'd be amazed at how well they've held their value. Back in 2013 though, the entire lens industry began to change. This was a time when major tsunamis and other effects of global warming were wiping out factories. It was also a time when third-party lens companies stepped up and created lenses that turned peoples' heads. Zeiss announced the 55mm f1.4 Otus lens. They touted that this lens, when shot wide open, would be as sharp as their competition's lenses stopped down. And as we saw, they were right. I think every photographer at the time was drooling over that lens but also hesitant because of the insanely expensive price. Zeiss touted this lens as a no-compromise lens to create the single best optic, but they neglected a few major points. A lens costing over $3,000 should have weather sealing and autofocus, but they didn't have either. Still, the image quality really did prevail. Around the same time, Sigma announced they'd be coming out with a 50mm f1.4 Art lens with autofocus. Amazingly, it held its own with the Zeiss 55mm Otus lens at a far cheaper cost. Lots of folks decided to go with slightly worse image quality fully understanding they could edit the images later on. They really wanted autofocus though. Zeiss understood this–and found ways to press on. They delivered the Touit series of lenses for Fujifilm X mount and Sony E mount. We reviewed all of those and really liked them. But again, it was sometimes the price that held us back. Then Zeiss partnered with Sony on the full-frame cameras by delivering the Loxia and the Batis lens lineup. The latter had autofocus, but we haven't seen anything from the company's lens division since 2019. By that time, they had pretty much given up on DSLRs. For the record, The Phoblographer has reviewed the most camera lenses of any publication in real-world reviews. We've done entire lens guides for their Milvus lenses while their Batis and Loxia lenses are rolled into our Sony FE Lens Guide. Trust me, if we could test them, we'd do so. Across the board, our staff tends to really like the challenge manual focus lenses give us. It makes our jobs a lot less monotonous. There are some very odd, dark secrets in the camera and lens world. Some manufacturers make lenses for others. Other brands have closed-door deals. But Zeiss never managed to get autofocusing lenses for Canon or Nikon. However, they all had autofocus contacts for manual focusing. If Zeiss had just made some autofocus lenses, things probably would've been different. So why did Zeiss stop making lenses for Son...

The pandemic turned photographers back to film in droves. If you're looking for the best film SLR cameras to choose from while you're just getting into film, you've come to the right place. We've reviewed a whole lot of them over the years we've been around. And more importantly, the options we're choosing in this list suit a slew of criteria. A lot of them have mechanical shutters. Some of them don't, but then we recommend that you not spend an arm and a leg. But most importantly, we've done full and thorough reviews on all these cameras. Dive in with us! The Phoblographer's various product round-up features are done in-house. Our philosophy is simple: you wouldn't get a Wagyu beef steak review from a lifelong vegetarian. And you wouldn't get photography advice from someone who doesn't touch the product. We only recommend gear we've fully reviewed. If you're wondering why your favorite product didn't make the cut, there's a chance it's on another list. If we haven't reviewed it, we won't recommend it. This method keeps our lists packed with industry-leading knowledge. Some of our stories include affiliate links. If you buy something through one of these links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Here are tips on choosing the best film SLR for you: No, your mirrorless camera lenses won't adapt to the film camera (but you could do the opposite). Whenever possible, go for a camera with a mechanical shutter. If the battery stops working, you'll still be able to keep shooting. This helped us choose some of the best film SLR cameras on this list. But with some mounts, it just isn't possible. At the moment, we're not including anything for Nikon F mount. This mount gets insanely complicated and is worth writing a blog post in and of itself. Besides, there are so many that could make this list of the best film SLR cameras for a beginner. When traveling, consider putting your film in a bag that will be hand checked. Don't run it through the X-Ray machine; their strength tends to vary from airport to airport and it could damage your film. Modern film photography is much different than it was in the past. The frame rate means nothing because film is expensive. The autofocus is nowhere as good as modern mirrorless cameras. But what's more important is how durable these film cameras are. Check the viewfinder and diopter. If you wear glasses, you'll need something that lets you see clearly. SLR stands for single lens reflex. This means that you can see what the lens sees. It's very useful when using things like graduated ND filters. Pentax Spotmatic: Access to Incredible Lenses Standout Features This Pentax has an M42 screwmount. It can adapt a ton of different lenses. But what's more important is how big and bright the viewfinder is. I'm legally blind, and I could see through it with little struggle. Oh, plus it's affordable. In our review, we state: “The Pentax Spotmatic is pretty much all metal. Considering that there are virtually zero electronics to deal with you won't have any sort of issues with the build. If you're one of those people who knows Sunny 16 well or can carry around a light meter on their phone and figure stuff out from there, then this is one of the most perfect cameras for you.” Buy ...

This was a fascinating episode that went in completely unpredictable directions with a lot of talk about Miranda and their history, why the Nikon F was so successful, what point is a Leica copy not longer a copy, and much, much more!

New Gear Podsticle, October 2021

A listicle is an article comprising a list. A listicle is any piece of digital content that's formatted as a list. A listicle is an article comprising a list, usually with some kind of extra detail added to each item. What we have here, then, is a podsticle.   Today on the B&H Photography Podcast, we catch up with the new photography gear that has been announced over the past few months. Attention goes to the Canon EOS R3 and Nikon Z 9 as big deal mirrorless reveals, the Nikon still scant on details, but what's clear from these releases is the continued shift away from the DSLR format for these manufacturers. FUJIFILM, Pentax, Olympus, and Sigma added mostly updates to existing cameras over recent months, while Panasonic and Sony offered new models aimed at vloggers and streamers. An odd couple of Sony a7R series updates also made our list of new cameras, a list that will surely have many additions by the time we host our “cameras of the year” episode, in December.   The second half of the show is dedicated to lenses and accessories. Canon's funky new RF 5.2mm f/2.8L Dual Fisheye 3D VR lens is highlighted and we mention several new Canon RF lenses, including the Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM. FUJIFILM introduced two new fast aperture lenses to go with the X-T30 II camera announcement and a beautiful 18mm f/1.4 R WR lens. Nikon put out several lenses for the Z system, including the affordable NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 lens. Of the other manufacturers, all of whom released new lenses recently, Tamron was the busiest, with five entries. Also of note is Sigma's new “Sports” designated 150-600mm f/5.6-6.3 DG DN OS telephoto zoom lens available in Leica L, Canon EF, Nikon F and Sony E mounts and the Venus Optics Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 lens.   We conclude the gear update with new light systems from Profoto, Godox, and Aputure, and we also mention webcams, drones, and new tabletop tripods from Joby.

When describing Blair Bunting's photography there are few way to approach it. First of all there is the website bio version, which starts: "Blair Bunting is an advertising photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona specializing in portraits of professional athletes for commercial sports campaigns." That's such an understatement, accurate yes, but it doesn't begin to cover what Blair creates. While known for his portraits of athletes for commercial photography, Blair also creates amazing art from subjects ranging from celebrities to trains. Blair's career began back in high school with his father teaching him about photography, and early on there was passion for the art. It was his father that gave him his very first camera, a 1972 Nikon F, a piece of history that still sits on Blair's desk at home. Blair has had the good fortune to shoot campaigns around the globe for a diversified list of clients that range from television shows shot for The Discovery Channel to athletes photographed for Muscle Milk. That early passion for the art still exists today, and leads to opportunities at every turn. In August of 2008 he decided to have his hand at photographing autos, not out of a quest for work, but in an attempt to create some images to put on his walls… He began shooting for Chevrolet two months later. All of this has led to Blair being named as a Canon Explorer of Light, putting him at the absolute top of his field. That early beginning learning photography from his father, for a career that has seen so much success, is mirrored by a quote from Blair on the Canon Explorer's of Light page: "I am grateful everyday I can go out and take photos, and I consider myself fortunate to have made photography into a career" Even with the success and recognition that Blair has received in the photographic world, he still holds true that his most important legacy will be helping other photographers to be successful in their careers. This is one of the many reasons I am so excited to have Blair on the show. Before recording, or even scheduling the show, we chatted on the phone for a bit. The plan was to discuss picking the image we would talk about, but the conversation was about all things photographic, and talking with Blair felt so natural, like we'd known each other for a while. On set he constantly pushes the idea that everyone is equally important, from the assistant to the photographer. This demeanor and approach towards comfortable shoots has made for clients that return for years. Often describing his own life as, “quite a random existence,” many of his accomplishments have come outside of the photographic field. From being chosen as the honorary commander of a US Air Force fighter squadron to being recognized as an ambassador in the watch industry, his life has been anything but ordinary. However, he says his greatest honor is that of marrying his wife, Erin. Join Canon Explorer of Light Blair Bunting and me as we discuss how he sculpts with light, his image of boxer Mike Tyson, lighting ratios, and a favorite drink recipe of his, on this Behind the Shot.

While we are all unabashedly Nikon fans here at CCR, that doesn't mean we don't shoot other camera systems. And while we've done a bunch of deep dives on the Nikon F series, what about the other F? We're of course talking about the Canon F-1, F-1n and New F-1 because all are different, two are close, one of a radically different name. So stay tuned and join, Bill, John, Ori, and Jess as they dig into Canon's answer to the Nikon F!

Kevin, Steven, and Bill share their Christmas wishlist items. Bill and Steven talk about their experiences shooting FujiFilm Pro 400h, Kodak Ektar 100, and Portra 400 in the snow. One of those didn't come out as expected. Nikon has announced they're servicing various Nikon manual focus SLRs and Lenses.  Silberra has Indiegogo updates, and Kodak has launched the highly anticipated motion picture film business cards.   Show Notes: Georgia has received the most snow since 1993. Areas accumulating as much as 8-10 inches. This was a prime opportunity for Bill and Steven to go out and #shootsomefilmdangit. Turns out FujiFilm Pro 400h doesn't handle overcast days very well and resulted in some really grainy images, even when the exposure compensation was adjusted 2 additional stops. The Ektar 100 resulted in some incredibly sharp images and handled the snow exposure very nicely. Silberra Update! Silberra has sent out an email to their IndieGoGo backers that they are starting to fufill their December items very shortly. At the time of the recording, they haven't received the funds. They didn't meet their goals, however they've anticipated this and are moving to 'Plan B' which is to outsource their film manufacturing process. Nikon has announced for a limited time only, they will be servicing the old Nikon F, manual focus SLRs and lenses. To our understanding, Nikon Japan is the only one this service is available to. Details outlining what exactly is being fixed can be found here: https://petapixel.com/2017/12/09/nikon-servicing-vintage-cameras-lenses-japan-limited-time/ Kodak has launched their Film Strip Creator product and service. CEO Jeff Clarke has been using business cards that are a form of motion picture projector film. It has gained incredible popularity and is now available to the consumers. https://filmstripcreator.com/ The Studio C-41 website is live!

The New Yorkers by Robert Herman, with an introduction by Sean Corcoran, Curator of Prints and Photographs at the City Museum of New York, is published by Proof Positive Press (2015). Robert Herman is a photographer and author of two books of his work, The New Yorkers and The Phone Book (Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., 2015). Robert has been a street photographer since his days he started using his father’s Nikon F and a 50mm lens, and began by exploring the city as a means to connect with the people in his neighborhood and learn the craft of making images. Robert has a BFA in filmmaking from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, and he received a masters degree in Digital Photography from the School of Visual Art. With his love of light and color, and a joy of making images that find the transcendent in the seemingly mundane, Robert’s images tell another story – that of his battle with bipolar disorder. Through the process of creating the work for The New Yorkers, Robert sought physical representation of the empathy he had for his subjects while struggling with his own sense of feeling as an outsider. Its this search for connection and connectedness in his images is what makes The New Yorkers of interest to all who know and love the city as well as those who want to know it.

The Art of Photography

The Nikon F5 was introduced in 1994 and represents the 5th generation of the professional Nikon F series. I’ve got one on loan to me this week so I decided to check it out and share it with you guys. The F5 is extremely interesting in its handling of considerable upgrades in technology for a 35mm camera. It was the last heavily used professional 35mm camera before the move to digital.
