Lens Selected: f/2.8 60mm AF-S

I have selected the Nikkor AF-S f/2.8 60mm lens for this summer. It has been selected from the options because it has an attractive aperture and will work well on an FX body. Additionally, of the macro candidates, it has the best focusing distance. The FX rear element will also allow me the freedom to […]

Lens Selection Time Again

It is possible that during the summer I might again have the option of adding another lens to my camera kit. At present I am looking at two major options: a long-throw telephoto zoom, or a micro/macro lens. Lens Tamron 18-270mm Nikkor 60mm MICRO Nikkor 85mm MICRO Max Aperture 4-6.3 2.8 3.5 Min Distance 19.3 […]

35 vs DSC

It would seem that just as I am spending time with film again, I am also leaving ExIfDSC alone a little longer and working on ExIf35, even if I don’t really understand why. I keep adding features and finding little things that ExIf35 needs, when I don’t even have a clue what ExIfDSC is. I […]

Stuck to Film

After developing two rolls of film and feeling like I am limited in subject matter for film and feeling like a lot of my shots are uninteresting, I have been coaxed back into doing more film. Effective tomorrow, I will be carrying both cameras. In the process of trying to figure out WTF happened to […]

Assessing My Photographic Worth

Yesterday was a rough day for my photographically. I couldn’t manage to get myself to really get into it for a while, mostly because I felt redundant and my images felt only mediocre, leaving me feeling kind of empty. After a while (and some brief counseling of a friend) I managed to get myself into […]

Changing of ExIf Tools

As of Monday, ExIf 35 had its first major release. With the release of “Milestone 1”, daily build number 20100405, I decided that the application was feature complete and stable. The entire build package contained the released executable for the Windows version of the application, as well as two different mobile platforms (PocketPC 2003, Windows […]

Film Sleeves

I am having a little trouble understanding the way that film sleeves were designed. Most are designed to hold 7 strips of 5 frames each. That means 35 frames per sheet. Most 35mm rolls are 24 or 36 exposures by standard. The fun part is that in most situations a camera will use 37 to […]

The First Roll

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 […]
