I suppose I ought to introduce myself

I like taking photos with odd cameras. I am by no means a professional. I just have loads of cameras I've picked up second hand from various places, and like mucking about with them in different ways.

Right off the bat, I don't care about taking the perfect shot. That's boring to me. While I don't go out with the goal of intentionally taking wonky shots – I do actually try to make sure each shot is focused and exposed properly – quite a lot of my cameras are broken or weird in some way. My main film camera technically works, in that the lens attached to it is in good nick, and when I push the shutter button, it goes click. But the shutter fires inconsistently, and will often misfire at the lightest touch, it doesn't really fire at the speeds it's set to, the ISO dial is loose as hell and is always changing itself, and even if it wasn't doing that, the light meter really has no idea what light is in the first place.

It really only gets better from here. All of my cameras have some sort of physical malady by dint of being second hand, and in many cases, straight up antique, or because they're Holgas and have a deliberately imperfect design. I've got a couple of "toy cameras" as well, with cheap plastic lenses that make any given shot look a bit weird. None of these categories are mutually exclusive either.

But I also just like to do terrible things to both my cameras and the film I shoot on. My favourite thing to do is shove the wrong format film into the cameras. Sometimes I don't feel like cutting down film to fit into my 127 cameras, so I'll cram a 35mm roll in there. Or I'll stick one into one of my 120 or 620 cameras just for the hell of it. I like to redscale film, soup it, and just generally fuck it up before and after shooting. When I develop the film here at home, I don't put a lot of attention into making sure everything is perfect down to the tenth of a degree and to the second. I am not that fussed about any of it, frankly. As long as the roll comes out of the tank with photos on it, I'm happy. If they're messed up, whatever. That's part of the fun.

Right now, I'm slowly working through uploading my backlog over here. I've got even more photos on deviantART, and I post them to Patreon a month before I put them anywhere else. I also try to remember to put prints up, but that's a whole process on its own. In addition to uploading my backlog, I've been spending much of my time just working on scanning and editing a whole other backlog of negatives.

And according to Lightroom, right now that comes down to nearly 400 photos that I've yet to post, and a further 5,000-odd that I've not even looked at for editing. Plus the five or six rolls sitting on my printer waiting to be scanned.

You'll find a mix of birdwatching and urban photography, along with some random other things. I have favourite subjects I like to go back to again and again, and you'll get used to seeing them through a variety of lenses.

TL;DR, I take a lot of photos, many of them odd or wonky, and I'm never going to be done with this backlog. And the photos I have in Lightroom are only from the last few years. Multiple hard drive crashes have caused me to lose all of my digital photos a few times over.

The Big Shuffle *or* Why I Finally Stopped Waiting For Canon To Catch Up and Decided To Embrace Sexy FujiFilm and Get Me My ‘KT1000′...

(cough cough... woah... it’s dusty in here... here, just let me pull this old tarp off the blog and clear a spot for us to sit... it’s been a while... cobwebs on the interwebs... cough... last post 2 years ago... I’ve been... elsewhere...) A few days before xmas I bought me a new camera. Moving brands from a feet-dragging Canon to Fuji. Got me a Fuji X-T20. LOVIN’ IT! Finally. After a number of years, possibly the entire time I’ve been digital, but most certainly the last five or so I’ve been aching for a change. Really, all I’ve ever wanted was a digital version of my Pentax K1000. Back in early 2006 when I 'sold out and went digital' the first thing I told the salesperson was "I'm looking for a digital version of my K1000. A simple workhorse. That's it." The guy sold me a Canon Rebel XT and my journey began. I've since been through two more DSLRs and I've never really been... satisfied. In '08 I moved up to a Canon 40D as more of a status piece to play the part of a 'photographer' to impress people who are impressed by big, complex looking things. Shortly after that move I realized I hated shooting weddings and was not interested in commercial photography and I was lugging around this enormous hunk of camera and 'gear' for nothing. I wanted to 'pare down'. In 2012, right before moving into a Canon T2i (a mostly linear move at the time, spec wise, from my...shudder... 'prosumer' 40D) I wrote a treatise, a plea, a rant about 'wanting my KT1000'. At the time the major companies were inching into mirrorless and more 'retro' styles, Olympus at the time had some nice looking ideas, but nothing mirrorless, at the time, came close to the actual SLR. Mirrorless was still dancing in the realm of 'point and shoots'. As much as I liked the aesthetics and feel of some of them, they were mostly too 'automatic' and mostly without viewfinders. The rangefinder models were nice, but.. again, I want the viewfinder above the lens. I wanted that feel. Really, I wanted a smaller bodied SLR noting that technology must finally be able to accomplish it. That is still yet to be and lo, back in those bygone days of 2011-2012 was nothing but a pipe dream. I was considering mirrorless back then, but nothing had the specs I wanted. So, I got the T2i. Got some eye-rolls at one of the local camera chains here in Toronto as my wanting to move sideways instead of up in the ‘gear’ department meant I was an amateur hobbiest in their eyes and the guy seemed more interested in making a 3 grand sale rather than a $700 one. “How could this guy want to go from a 40D to a T2i? Especially when the T3i is out and has that tilty screen??? He must not know what he’s talking about.” I did. And I do. And I never returned to that store, bringing my linear move to it’s competitor who was cool and not all photog-snobby. It was SO much smaller! Adding it to the monstrous 15-85mm and 'fantastic plastic' 50mm & 75-300mm in my kit I was... still bulky. Still too damn much stuff. But I made do and had some good times with T2i. But I pined for the old days of jamming my K1000 in a jacket pocket to get it out of the rain and plopping it into a small bag. The treatise was written and I had actually sent it to Pentax in hopes that they'd run with it. That my, absolute non-influential photographic self could move a corporation to make ME a camera. Just for me.

Needless to say, Pentax didn't do anything with my idea or any other good idea since... oh 1983 or so... and I had to wait... now seven years for the technology to catch up to my desire (and my bankbook to catch up to that) to have a digital version of my K1000.

I just bought a Fuji X-T20 (X-tra Trout, baby, and STILL don't forget it) and so far I am in heaven. I can't afford the top line fare and, again, I don't really need it. Specs between the X-T20 and the X-T2 are negligible for the cost and my purpose in my opinion. I now have a small, fairly sturdy, SLR-like mirrorless camera that, when I dumb it down enough, has the manual functionality and feel of my old precious. I'm still working on customizing it (may take a couple months to get it exactly where I want it as there are WAY too many bells-and-whistles inside this thing for me to ever need) but it feels SO good. It's got an aperture ring on the lens! On the LENS! You don't know how good that feels to me having shot with EOS camera systems for 13 years now... so good.

Anyway. I'm in heaven. An old friend Nick encouraged me a number of years ago to consider going to Fuji. He had just got the X100 and understood what I was looking for. As I really respect his work and opinion, that has always sat in my mind. But I wasn't ready then. I'm glad I decided to look into it recently and I'm glad to have found that Fuji decided to make me my camera. JUST FOR ME.

These are the first few shots taken (very first, of course, my wiener hound Idgie) and a vanity shot from my phone of my spankin’ new XtraTrout 20 next to my teacher, my mentor, my K1000.

From Earth Science Picture of the Day; June 16, 2018:

Encore - Providence Canyon Photographer and Summary Author: Ray Major

Today and every Saturday Earth Science Picture of the Day invites you to rediscover favorites from the past. Saturday posts feature an EPOD that was chosen by viewers like you in our monthly Viewers' Choice polls. Join us as we look back at these intriguing and captivating images.

Sometimes called Georgia's Little Grand Canyon, Providence Canyon in western Georgia (U.S.) is a large erosion feature caused largely by poor farming practices in the 1800s. Furrows from plows deepened in the soft soil of this area and over time, and left unchecked, they expanded to become gullies and ravines and eventually these intriguing and colorful canyons -- colors chiefly result from variations of the exposed clay and sand. The name of the canyon comes from Providence Methodist Church, which had to be relocated because of the rapidly expanding canyon encroaching on its property. Hiking and other recreational activities have long ago replaced farming as the principal activity here. Photo taken on May 9, 2011.

Photo Details: Camera: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT; Focal Length: 18.0mm; Aperture: f/8.0; Exposure Time: 0.0063 s (1/160); ISO equiv: 100; Software: Digital Photo Professional.

How Hot Is It?

By Carol Kagan

Not the weather – that PEPPER! Although we usually get heat here, in Pennsylvania, and typically, plenty of it all at once, we speak here of chile peppers.

Your taste buds are craving salsa, so it’s time to check those peppers growing in the back garden. There are many varieties of “hot” peppers in various lively colors, but just how hot are they? We turn to the Scoville Scale for the answer.

Developed by chemist Wilbur Scoville, the scale is a way to measure and assign the hotness of peppers by measuring the capsaicin (cap-say-ah-sin) content. How do you measure a Scoville Heat Unit? To measure a pepper’s capsaicin concentration, a solution of the chile pepper’s extract is diluted in sugar water until the “heat” is no longer detectable to a panel of tasters. A rating of 0 Scoville Heat Units (SHUs) means that there is no detectable heat. The test’s reliance on human tasters, and the fact that plants grown in different conditions may be hotter or sweeter, makes the scale basically good for comparisons only. Regardless of the rating, use caution when handling or eating hot peppers.

So here goes, a listing of some of the most popular types are below. You can find the Scoville Scale on the Internet for a more complete listing.

Counter-Attack for the Burn

Capsaicin is an alkaline oil. Thus, water and alcohol don’t help alleviate the burn because they won’t dissolve the oil; they only spread it around. Acidic food or drink may help neutralize the oil. Try lemon, lime, or orange juice, cold lemonade, or tomato drinks (but not a Bloody Mary–see above).

Dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream, and ice cream are acidic and are considered helpful. Additionally, according to Paul Bosland, New Mexico State University Regents Professor and director of the Chile Pepper Institute, “It turns out that milk has a protein in it that replaces the capsaicin on the receptors on your tongue. It’s really the quickest way to alleviate the burning feeling.” Eating carbohydrate foods, such as bread or tortillas, may also help by absorbing some of the oil. Chew these but don’t swallow right away for the greatest benefit. (Did you know that most hot-chile-eating contests provide bowls of powdered milk and water to participants?)

For skin irritations (You mean, you weren’t careful?), wash off the oil with soap and warm water. Dry and repeat if needed. Remember, capsaicin is an oil and can be spread to other parts of the body by touching. Also, wash all utensils and cutting surfaces with soap and water after use to avoid spreading the oil.

For an upset stomach after eating hot peppers (yes, they make their way through eventually), try drinking milk–the more fat content the better–or eating carbohydrate foods such as bread and crackers. Sleep or rest in an upright or slightly inclined position to prevent heartburn and acid reflux.

Benefits of Capsaicin

Paradoxically, capsaicin’s knack for causing pain may make it helpful in alleviating pain. National Institute of Health research supports the topical use of capsaicin for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis by lowering sensitivity to pain. Look for over-the-counter creams and plasters containing capsaicin.

Research continues on many other possible benefits, including in cancer treatments, for anti-inflammatory use, weight loss, and lowering cholesterol. Another benefit of capsaicin is that the burning sensation causes actual pain, which releases endorphins. These are the pleasure chemicals also released during exercise. Perhaps eating hot peppers is a lazy person’s substitute for running and time at the gym!
