Escribano -> My photo of the week 6 (Jan. 17 2011 20:06:54)

Been a while, as I took some time out after losing my dog, but I am still very much into film photography. This is from my latest classic camera purchase, the Yashica Electro 35 - a bit of a cult following nowadays and I will be soon be using it to test my own colour processing methods.

Hey Simon.

I heard today on the radio, from a guy who owns a camera shop, that he is seeing a lot of young guys who were introduced to photography through digital cameras who are now looking for old SLRs and said he's doing quite a fair turnover in B&W film and processing chemicals these days.

Interesting...eh?

(Back to mono.. [:D])

cheers,

Ron

Doesn't surprise me, Ron. I always was a trend spotter [:D] In fact that is kind of what I get paid for. When I was out today with the Yashica I met a pro photographer who spent 20 mins. waxing about old cameras and the virtues of film. I own pretty much every camera he mentioned except a Leica. He was carrying a digital rig that was £6000 when new, whilst playing with my £30 Yashica. I rest my case [;)]

Colour is a little trickier on temperature control, but it can still be done in the kitchen. You wait until you see the colour shots out of this camera - I don't usually go crazy for it but there is something smooth and 60's about the quality of the colour from the Yashica Electro 35, like the light gets time-warped in the lens somehow.

Maybe a similar thing, Simon, but I lost interest in Amateur Radio after the Japs started producing fully synthesised transceivers with "easy tune" push-buttons and shiny dials and knobs...
It sorta took the fun out of experimenting with designs and drilling holes in aluminium boxes and wiring up stuff...[:-]

The enthusiast magazines then started changing from articles from folk with circuit ideas and passion about the subject to photo galleries of readers with big fat cheque books posing with their latest equipment purchases and reviews of the latest high-end, ready to plug-in-and-go, goodies from Japan.

So, around that time (at 14-15) I more or less lost interest in the hobby and started taking more of an interest in the guitar......(and mags with photos of "reader's wives"...[8D][:D])

cheers,

Ron
