http://www.flickr.com/photos/kularski/sets/72157623654258769/ My first roll has now been developed and scanned. I am happy for the most part, since this was just a test roll, I am happy to be able to identify the subject in each shot. I am a little disappointed that the shots came out as bright as they did. They could have […]
I finished shooting my first roll of film around 7pm on the 4th (like 6 hours ago), and now I have developed my first roll. I was a little worried at first because I had never developed film before or anything even close. I mixed 1 liter of working solution of developer, indicator stop bath […]
I am at the moment rewriting one of the key features of ExIf 35, its ExIf writing tool. I am switching from the .NET Image class’s PropertyItem stuff to .NET’s Bitmap Metadata class. I am making this change because of a recent compression issue that has come up with using the Image class. It is […]
I am encountering a not-so-happy issue with programming in .NET for something that works with images. Because I write metadata and I don’t just read it, I am encountering issues regarding image quality and compression. If I let the happy little framework do things its way, I end up with files of reduced size. If […]
To get myself prepared for developing my first roll of film I am outlining the steps required here. Step 1: Set up tank (cleaned), reel, bottle opener, film and scissors in light-proof room Turn off the lights Open film canister and gently remove film roll Cut off half-width leader on front of roll Load film […]
ExIf rotation makes no rational or logical sense. Below is code that rotates an image based on its present position in increments of one quarter turn (90 degrees) at a time. private int rotateImg(int currentOrientation, int rotate) { int next = 0; int prev = 0; switch (currentOrientation) { //1,6,3,8 case 0: next = 6; […]
An experience I just had makes me question whether or not people understand the concept of being polite in public anymore. In a university library, on the first floor, behind the book racks you would think that there would be an air of quiet and a relaxed academic environment… well, mostly there is. Now, add […]
As a person that is being rated more and more often lately in varying areas and on multiple sites, I am starting to really despise the star rating system. First of all, the system is entirely anonymous from the recipient’s perspective. This means that it isn’t possible to determine the difference between the overexciting rating […]
I believe that the majority of ExIf 35’s major goals have been implemented now. I just spent the last hour working in support for tagging/adding keywords to images. It’s a little feature that I didn’t really give much thought to at first because it’s not something I do with my digital photos. I have added […]
I have shot almost half of my first roll of film, not a lot by any means, but I feel that I am now in a position where I should begin preparing for developing. All of my stuff is here already, but I now have to begin preparing for actually doing this. Getting all of […]
