Photography, technology, marketing, and life
Minolta XL-400
I recently picked up a Minolta XL-400. It isn’t currently working, so I can’t say much about it. I’m looking forward to getting it repaired so I can run a pack of 8mm film through it.
Daniel
Sony Mavica
My very first digital camera was a Sony Mavica. Technically, it wasn't mine. It belonged to the company I worked for at the time. My general manager knew I was into photography, so he'd let me take it home on the weekends.
iPhone 7 Plus Portrait Mode… For Beer
The dual sensor camera system on the iPhone 7 Plus brings all kinds of benefits to iPhone photography. Optical zoom is always better than digital zoom, and even digital zoom is made a little better by the increased focal length.
Kayla at the Coast
Kayla and I have canceled far too many shoots due to rain over the past year or so. So this time, we actually planned for a rain shoot.
Naturally, it didn't rain.
Fujifilm Instax Wide 300
I love my [Polaroid cameras][1]. I don't love that it costs me $3 every time I press the shutter button, so I picked up a Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 on Amazon the other day.
Canon AE-1
A few years back, I managed to score a free Canon AE-1 on Craigslist. It needed a little work, and I finally took it in to Blue Moon to get it fixed. They had it back to me earlier than promised, and I can't wait to run a roll through it.
Kayla
I had the opportunity to shoot Kayla again. As always, she was awesome to work with. More images after the jump.
Meagan
A quick morning photoshoot with Meagan. More images after the jump.
iPhone 7 Plus
AT&T Next basically guarantees I'll upgrade my iPhone every year. I mean, why not? I wasn't _as_ excited this year as in previous years, but I was intrigued by the dual rear camera setup in the 7 Plus. So I stayed up till midnight and... didn't order an iPhone. Apple's website glitched. AT&T's website was barely usable and wouldn't complete a transaction. I told myself I'd just pick one up in a couple of weeks when the chaos died down.
