I just feel like I want a prime that is about the perspective of my p17 for my eos3. To me that feels like a normal lens so a 35mm seems about right.

Nessa Gray @nessagray.bsky.social · 2h

Wow, it’s fun but not that fun

Nessa Gray @nessagray.bsky.social · 23h

It is, but it’s just the most lovely thing for close up work with moving subject.

Nessa Gray @nessagray.bsky.social · 23h

Indeed. Mine are holdovers from my working photog days. Great and versatile for paid gigs but not a lot of fun to use

Nessa Gray @nessagray.bsky.social · 23h

I just have a 24-70 and 70-200 (cause they do like everything) but wow do I love the way the camera handles with a prime. And 35 is just a little wide without being as nuts as my 20

And I feel like less thinking is good

Do I want a 35mm prime lens for my eos3? I have it covered on a zoom but like, primes are cool!

Quiet

Most the reviews I’ve seen are either studio product work or landscape. Seems like it would be great for either of those.

I think it would drive me a little crazy outside, but for a scanning rig that big resolution is kinda appealing. Especially for my medium format stuff.

Nessa Gray @nessagray.bsky.social · 1d

I was just looking at a 5dsr for my scanning rig so I could get my mk4 back into the shooting rotation.

I just realized I’m a day late for lesbian day. So here’s a photo of my amazing girlfriend @furygalluzzi.bsky.social looking hot as hell on her motorcycle. Love you babe, thanks for always being down for me to stop for a photo.

A black-and-white photo of the photographers amazing girlfriend looking back at her from the seat of her motorcycle wearing those incredibly cool sunglasses that always make the photographers heart skip a beat.

A solid 2/3 of the reason I still have Lightroom is my abject hatred of photography YouTubers. Every video or tutorial for alternative software is presented by the most annoying people I’ve had the displeasure to watch.

Nice!

Nessa Gray @nessagray.bsky.social · 2d

I really should do something with my random test shots, some of come out kinda pretty! Ektar 100 in my Eos 3.

A friend on IG is selling her Pentax 17. Anyone looking for an almost new one at a decent discount?

Nessa Gray @nessagray.bsky.social · 2d

Flawless take! And oh man is this thing going to be a gas at the next toy camera meetup.

Happy

The Charmera is not a good camera, but it is really fun to have around. #charmera

Same, I think of myself as a B&W photographer but this stuff is very pretty.

Nessa Gray @nessagray.bsky.social · 3d

Just grabbed a roll of the 400 and 800 to test out.

Nessa Gray @nessagray.bsky.social · 3d

Got my scans back from a roll of Ektar I shot. Wow, this stuff is so pretty! I should shoot more color!

More ferries on film fun. Shot on 20+ year expired Kodak gold 200 in a Pentax 110 auto. Those sun decks sure make for neat photos.

A young boy in a sports jersey with a 3 on the back walks through the doorway from the indoor deck to the outdoor deck on the Southworth ferry as it approaches the terminal. From the railing his father looks back at him.

On the Southworth ferry

A passenger on the Southworth ferry watches the boat approach the terminal from the benches on the upper passenger deck.

Could I just do this today? Working is stupid.

A photograph of a woman reading in a hammock stretched between two trees. The picture is taken from the “head” end, so the open book and her feet are visible while her face is hidden.

Aboard the Southworth ferry

The little 110 auto can deliver some nice images under the right conditions.
