Heads Up - our January #photochat is this Thursday the 22nd. This month's topic is: Winter & Cold Weather Photography. Alrightee then!

the "Malört Just Kicked In Yo" video is *chef's kiss:* substack.com/home/post/p-...

Last cars I drove from every country. US: Toyota Camry Japan: Scion xA Italy: Ferrania P30 🎞️ UK: Kodak Brownie Junior 📷 Sweden: Volvo 244 DL France: Renault Clio China: Thrustmaster TMX Wheel Korea: Kia Niro EV Poland: Fiat Panda Mexico: Ford Bronco Sport

Throwback to a car show and club drive near Boise, ID. All taken with a 1930s Zeiss Ikon Box Tengor camera. 🎞️ Arista.EDU 100 #believeinfilm

A fun little comparison for my #believeinfilm friends. Konica Hexanon AR 57mm f1.4 vs 50mm f1.4. A classic 6 element, 5 group structure vs “modern” 7element, 6 group structure. Yeah I have a small collection of Konica glass and it’s pretty dang nice. Which is your favorite and why? 🎞️ Fuji 400

There'll be talk today about how the Corvette ZR1X does an 8.675-second quarter-mile and a zero-to-60 mph in 1.89 seconds. What's key here is the fine print. This is based on initial vehicle movement. That means as soon as the car moves. That means they AREN'T deleting the first foot of rollout.

Developing story. An @shittychallenge.bsky.social submission. 📷 Praktiflex FX + Helios 44-2 🎞️ Kentmere 400 on ST20 #believeinfilm #shittycamerachallenge

also saluting this incredible street parked pair

Next up for @shittychallenge.bsky.social Breaking on the reformed speakers with the Alan Parsons project 📷 Fuji S2 Pro #shittycamerachallenge

A 200-Speed film that I actually like? You betcha! Released last year, Kentmere 200 has become a fast favourite of mine. Great results all around! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyB-... #ilfordphoto #filmreview #photography #filmphotography #believeinfilm #shootfilmbenice

Yea it’s the best! I used to have a mag with this ad in it and it still inspires me to this day

On the spirit of the #shittycamerachallenge I have recently reformed some speakers to listen to our old LPs on. The Helios 44-2 shows here than it’s not just all about the crazy swirly bokeh. 📷 Praktiflex FX 🎞️ Kentmere 400 #believeinfilm @shittychallenge.bsky.social

A couple more for the @shittychallenge.bsky.social from the Praktiflex FX but this time with a Vivitar (Tokina made) 24mm f2.8. What do you all think of this lens an of the Kentmere 400 in ST20 developer? #shittycamerachallenge #believeinfilm

Has anyone seen a new Prelude driven by a civilian?

Next up for the @shittychallenge.bsky.social some photos from the Praktiflex FX and the Helios 44-2 on Kentmere 400 film. Also these are developed with Gradual ST20 which gives K400 a classic look #shittycamerachallenge #believeinfilm

Does anyone have a good tried and tested OM Mount rear lens cap model? The couple I’ve tied from Printables and Thingiverse are very loose and scaling isn’t turning out to be a great fix. Before I model one, I thought I’d ask… #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm #3DPrinting

If you like cool large format lenses I got a few extras from the past couple years I sell ya for a song

I am going to have to pick up some more of this Gradual ST20 developer. Time is a bit long with Kentmere 400, but it smooths the highlights so nicely. #believeinfilm

Happy New Year, friends! This is what I looked like in 2025: 1. Testing Polaroid BW 600 in unmodified SX-70. 2. Testing reversal with Rodinal with Phoenix 200. 3. Comparing Kodacolor 100 to Pro Image 100. 4. Testing double-exposure with Snapic A1. #believeinfilm

Hoping your 2026 is full of feline and film elegance. #BelieveInFilm

Some more @shittychallenge.bsky.social photos from the Fuji S2 Pro of everyone’s favorites: our animal friends. #shittycamerachallenge

Get ready to ring in the New Year with a MotorWeek Retro Marathon! We're live streaming episodes from the 1990s all through this week and weekend. Watch now on YouTube or Twitch! 📺: champ.ly/rdokQi4F 👾: www.twitch.tv/motorweek

The Medalist is one of the smallest large-negative cameras out there (shooting a full 6x9, versus many of the others only doing 6x7, even), and that Ektar lens is a beast.

Some more for the @shittychallenge.bsky.social from a friend with a dodgy looking digital

Minox B, Adox Scala 50 (rescan)

Some advice for #ShittyCameraChallenge contestants from Mothra vs Godzilla

though, if we really want to play with "shitty" cameras...

Next up for the @shittychallenge.bsky.social The mighty Fuji S2 Pro with its magical diagonally arranged 6.17 MP Super CCD sensor. It’s almost unfair that this counts for. The #shittycamerachallenge until you use it. It’s clunky and slow to operate but they made the B&W mode look good.

Waist level viewfinders reporting for duty sir.

First up for the @shittychallenge.bsky.social is the Canon G12 digicam. Seems sharp enough, but the B&W profile looks flatter than TMAX 400 🤣 I’ll have to try to color presets sometime. #shittycamerachallenge

Views from the upper deck. On the M/V Spokane Kingston < - > Edmonds route Dec 12, 2025 📷 Pentax Spotmatic 🎞️ @ilfordphoto.com Kentmere 200 shot at 400 ISO (accidentally) ⚗️ Zone 510-pyro for 25 minutes @ferries.wsdot.wa.gov #ferriesonfilm #believeinfilm

Dug through the drawers to find some @shittychallenge.bsky.social compatible digicams: Canon G9 with scratched lens and for @chadhill.bsky.social the mighty Fuji S2 Pro with its dual battery setup using 4xAAs and 2x123As #shittycamerachallenge

Also, 60/40 split bench front, with a full cloth interior. I can't remember seeing one of these without leather, ever.

Another amazing @emulsivesanta.bsky.social gift. I could use the film travel bag here soon and there are some great films plus a treat and Lego 😎👍🏼 #believeinfilm

OK OK, trying not to mope much on here today as it is a joyous day for many, but my contribution to Christmas dialog is that family is fundamentally about who supports you, and they don't have to share genetics to do that. If you need to, you can choose family and form those same strong bonds.

Season's greetings 🚗🎄

My first contender for the @shittychallenge.bsky.social is loaded and ready. #shittycamerachallebge #believeinfilm

All this talk of inflation, interest rates, and affordability reminds me of this story I did on small cars in 2024. Thanks to @theautopian.bsky.social for letting me do this deep dive that seems more relevant every day. Bring back small cars! www.theautopian.com/how-the-smal...

Another sacrifice to the #ShittyCameraChallenge gods, may they be appeased. Soviet FKD with Industar-51 and modified rotating lens mount, Ilford FP4 Plus in a 5x7 sheath.

Rainy day fun means putting the 50mm f1.2 on the Nikon F4 and admiring how bright the focusing screen is. Kind of makes older cameras hard to use.

My brief review of the Lomography Lomo MC-A. Pretty decent from my 1st roll experience. I would buy thos over the Rollei AF35 any day of the week. Much more control and better quality. #filmphotography #believeinfilm #Lomography

And the playoff shoutout for the finale! 337 from College Station is complete. #TheShotSeenRoundTheWorld #GoCougs #WaveTheFlag
