  • Shot a roll of Kodak TMax P3200 and the exposures look great, but the grain is massive! More to scan before I judge if I like it or not. #
  • Lots of great film scanned in today. I can't wait to scan the remaining 5 rolls. I may even have it all done by Wednesday… we'll see! #
  • @PCR_Com @oldschoollab Portsmouth is a beautiful location! Prescott Park, water front and lots of 'street photography' options as well. #
  • @PCR_Com @oldschoollab I wonder if evening would be better for those who work Saturday? I've never organized a walk before though… #
  • @marcoarment Your retweet did remind me to look up your toaster oven review.. to which I give much credibility and weight. #
  • @mgagle Local film buying is so over priced anyway. Fuji Superia 400 is less then $2 on Adorama for 24. It's more than $5 locally. Too bad.. #
  • @efroeche @pcr_com Can't really take any 'credit' for helping to plan.. I was just responding to tweets :) I'm looking forward to it though! #

  • @OldSchoolLab Wow that is amazing! I hope it continues. I've been nothing but impressed with your company since I came across it. #
  • I dropped off my film at @OldSchoolLab Saturday and I cannot wait to get it back. It's all the shots I took at my wedding.. suspense! #
  • @OldSchoolLab I was indeed.. and I didn't even abuse this months batch of film. #
  • @jbphoto Nearby-ish :) You guys are a bit of a drive but I enjoy it and I like to know the people who are developing my film. #
  • @historyteach46 Once I receive them, and then scan them, yes. Of course! #
  • @jbphoto @filmpodcast @mat4226 I would start with a current episode and then go back to the start if you like it :) Wonderful Podcast! #
  • New Post on http://t.co/Q3l8zwXr: Choosing the Correct Camera Gear http://t.co/80kXXwBg #
  • @jbphoto You're the pro, and I believe you. That being said, my Coolscan V does offer to scan in RAW mode. What is that? It makes NEF files. #

Choosing the Correct Camera Gear

March 13th, 2012

I am constantly trying to evaluate what camera gear I need and what camera gear I don’t. I am in the process of selling off a considerable amount of equipment and cutting back to just the gear I like and use. I don’t consider myself a collector of camera gear so selling on unused equipment is just a matter of course for me. If I find myself leaving certain pieces of gear at home or just not taking it out of my bag when I’m out shooting, it goes. I don’t want to carry gear I don’t use and I don’t want my money tied up in gear collecting dust.

That being said, I try to have enough equipment to handle more than one situation. I am targeting three separate styles of shooting but there is a lot of overlap.

  • @SherriNourse I'm glad you liked it! I'll be making more bread this week.. so I'll keep you posted! #

  • It was a great event that was surprisingly relaxing. I'm glad we held a northeast event so we could celebrate with all of our local friends. #
  • @Phoblographer Nikon F100, 50 F/1.8 and Porta 400. #

  • @120processing @filmdevelop I thought Mike Raso @FilmPodcast was making them but I can't find them on their site now… #
  • @120processing @filmdevelop @filmpodcast It's a great podcast! Highly Recommended. #
  • @chartier I've had that happen too. I've got it set to never prompt to join nor have I ever actively joined an AT&T hot spot. Still did it. #
  • First loaf of sourdough in about a year. Not looking too bad… Smells great too! http://t.co/549uee0r #
  • @chartier Nah. They are going to call the new iPad 'iPhone XXL' #
