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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
With all that has been going on with ExIf 35 and the amount I have blogged about it, it has occurred to me that I haven’t really introduced the app on my blog at all, outside of the problems I have been having with getting things working exactly the way that I want. First, a […]
Finally, I have managed to store lens information in my JPEG files! It isn’t using ExIf though, because honestly, it’s way too hard and would require me learning way too much information about how the Makernote segment of ExIf works. As an alternative, I am using XMP. XMP is an Adobe developed standard based on […]
I think I have managed to accomplish all that I wanted with ExIf except for one thing. I still want to store lens information in the ExIf info. Unfortunately, the only place to do that is MakerNotes, and I don’t know how to work with them. It is my understanding that I would have to […]
What images are deserving of being stored on film? As I have only taken 7 exposures of film so far I have found myself thinking about this a good bit. I don’t think I would want to us film for special occasions, as there are way too many things that could go wrong, and yet, […]
Just thought of adding some of the more fun flash codes to my ExIf tool, but have decided against it for now unless someone directly requests it. I am perfectly happy with the binary choice of 0 (Flash did not fire) or 1 (Flash fired). All of the other options are roughly as easy from […]
I am victorious over ExIf! The documentation for ExIf overcomplicates things. While ExIf uses a lot of different types (0x1 through 0xA), it is possible to interact with most common values utilizing only 2 of these, 0x2 and 0x5. 0x2 is the null terminated string, and 0x5 is the 2 pair of Long Ints, acting […]
The Exchangable Image-file Format is a nice little thing that keeps up with information relating to how a picture was taken, where it was taken, who took it and what is in the picture (as vague as how far from the camera the subject, or even detailed information about the subject). The use of ExIf […]
