#ShittyCameraChallenge Takes her mini digicams and the assembled Lomo Konstruktor down to Marlborough Camera Club last night and walks away with even more cameras (Sony Cybershot, Pentax MZ50, Canon Legria FS306 handycam). Pt 1...

#ShittyCameraChallenge. My late father's birthday is today, so we (Mum, I, and my other half) went to celebrate at Dodson Street Beer Garden (www.dodsonstreet.co.nz/home/). After dropping "short-ass" (he's 6'2") back home, Mum and I went and visited Dad at the cemetery with some fresh flowers.

#ShittyCameraChallenge. Still shootin' despite "radio silence". I now have access to a variable IR filter (530-750nm) and *still* experimenting. IYKYK...

#ShittyCameraChallenge Taken over breakfast this morning. We now have three of the flowers in bloom.

#ShittyCameraChallenge Shots from my travels in the last week around Blenheim's CBD. Excuse the rain in most of the shots, it's been wet... I know it's s'posed to be summer south of the equator, but at least the farmers will be happy :)

#ShittyCameraChallenge. 1st of 2 stickers like this on cars as I was walking through carparks to get to the one where my car was parked. While this one said "No. It's f**ked", the second one actually came out uncensored with "No. It's fucked." Funny that I'd seen 2 variations of it in 5 minutes.

#ShittyCameraChallenge #Charmera #kodak #KodakCharmera Open night Dungeons & Dragons started back up for the new year at Tabletop Cafe Blenheim. My Dragonborn Sorcerer (Galen) is fairly chaotic, but the session was crazier than he is!

#ShittyCameraChallenge Essentially the same scene, but different filters. G6 Thumb camera. Have been getting some fantastic sunsets lately.

Okay, @keithdevereux.bsky.social, guess who had to go to Harvey Norman Blenheim (www.harveynorman.co.nz) and pick up a *DANG* Kodak Charmera... Photos with borders are from the Charmera; the Kodak Charmera & G6 Thumb camera (side-by-side) from the Chuzhao. #ShittyCameraChallenge #KodakCharmera

#ShittyCameraChallenge The G6 Thumb Camera at it again... playing with built-in filters ("She's got a few of them, Trev!")

#ShittyCameraChallenge Let's face it, we just AIN'T going to get mid-winter Xmas from NZ when the whole downunder is in the middle of summer. Shots are from a Public fundraising BBQ that my Lions club was "manning" today. 16:9 pix from the G6 Thumb camera (*Charmera clone*), 1:1 pix from Chuzhao.

@keithdevereux.bsky.social, Chuzhao camera. The one with the blue colour cast is straight out of the camera, and the punchier one is after a slight edit in Paint.NET...

#ShittyCameraChallenge. Awright, 2 of the first shots out of me and the Chuzhao for consideration by the Elder Gods in the current competition.

Though not technically within the parameters of the #ShittyCameraChallenge, I thought the effect of the G6 Thumb camera's "art" filter looks pretty cool.

#ShittyCameraChallenge @keithdevereux.bsky.social, they HAVE arrived! Charging as I post.

@shittychallenge.bsky.social, just finished. The box said 1-2 hours... More like a few hours over a couple of days to get both complete. Too bad I've already got cameras lined up and going... #ShittyCameraChallenge.

Slovakia rewrote its Constitution to erase rights for LGBT+ people and reject international human rights protections. The EU has opened an infringement procedure – but stronger action depends on us. Add your name now. a.allout.org/s/v0qyx/

Indonesia is moving to ban LGBT+ content across digital platforms. Activists warn this will fuel harassment and arrests. Urge lawmakers to reject the Broadcasting Bill and defend free expression – censorship is not protection. a.allout.org/s/W7EXN/

#ShittyCameraChallenge Though not finished/developed before the end of the #CrappyCommieCameraParty, I can now show off some of the photos from the Kiev 19. I'm glad that little tacker followed me home 😊

I just signed Justin's petition with All Out that could really change things for LGBT+ people. Add your name and join me in the fight for LGBT+ rights! a.allout.org/s/P8Egz/

#CrappyCommieCameraParty #ShittyCameraChallenge Test roll (bulk-loaded FP4+) through the UFK-2. Had to assemble the sucker before I could use it. Had to stick the shutter assembly back together, as the original glue had lost its stick. The results show (how crappy it is). All out of focus. Part 2.

@ShittyCameraChallenge #CrappyCommieCameraParty #ShittyCameraChallenge The last of the Instax photos from the Diana F+ Instant back combo. This cherry blossom tree grows in front of my friend's place on the berm between the footpath and the road. It flowers like this pretty much every spring.

#ShittyCameraChallenge, a small part of the (several banana boxes worth) camera haul I was helping The Blue Door sort out. Having no expertise with cameras, they contacted the Marlborough Camera Club for help. Took a bit to sort and price them!

Last week at camera club, I heard a local thrift store needed help sorting through a swag of cameras. This afternoon (after getting about halfway through the "hoarde"), what jumps out at me but a hekkin' Киев 19! The first time I've EVER had one in the wilds of NZ #CrappyCommieCameraParty

Do I need to bulk roll some Ilford for my Смена Символ and Global 35 (Smena 8) for the #CrappyCommieCameraParty?

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #5,484,660!
