Floating the Truckee River

This past summer I stayed in Lake Tahoe instead of returning back to Pennsylvania. Because of that I was able to partake in some of the fun activities that the lake provides. Once of which is floating down the Truckee river. We start in Tahoe City and float for a few miles down river which can take about 2.5-3.5 hours depending on your alcohol consumption. With topless women, bongs, and families on vacation the river can produce an amazing time.

*You may notice the film looks weird. That’s because I let the camera and the film float with me in the river. I wish I took more photos but I like having fun to much.

Olivia Arden & Panoramic

I have taken a lot of photographs of Ms. Olivia and here are two more. The color image was shot in Hanover, PA during one of our walks and was taken on my Hasselblad 500c/m with Kodak E100VS film. The B&W image of her was taken on some 35mm camera with film that I forget. Probably Kodak T-Max 400 film.

All of the Panoramic images were taken on the Ultonic Panoramic toy camera with Kodak Tri-X 400 film also during our Hanover walk.

Redscale Film

I read about Redscale film online and really wanted to give it a try. A quick google search will show you how to make it. I am not sure if I loaded my film in a room that was not completely black or if my camera has some bad light leaks but either way I had some light hit my film that was unwanted. Here are the photos from my first attempt at shooting some redscale film.

Ultronic Panoramic Camera

I picked up this little focus free plastic lens camera for $2 during my trip in washington, and put a cheap roll of Fuji Superia X-TRA400 into it right away. I was a little worried about some of the film coming out overexposed but thanks to the latitude of color negative film the photos came out alright.

The lens which is a 28mm is set at F/11 and shutter speed is around 1/125th of a second. The camera is not really a panoramic but instead gives an extreme crop to the image to give it the look of being panoramic. Upon research of the camera I found out it originally came free with a subscription to Time magazine.

Also most of the images seem to be the sharpest in the middle and become more soft as it moves towards the edges.

For only $2 it is a great find and I can’t wait to try shooting some redscale film through it.
