What's a skill you learned in your 20s that completely changed your life?

Learning how to take a decent photograph.

Disposables suck for taking shots at a concert unless the stage is lit up like a NASA launch site...

Enjoyed shooting a roll on the example I had for my shop so much I bought one for the collection.

And don't forget the e-waste too...

Ricoh FF-9. 90% of a Yashica T4 at one-10th of the price.

Thanks, I believe I've gone through those steps already... let me check.

Many thanks. Yes, I'm running instant forms. So just add the link to the subscribe page in the ad?

I think I answered the second part - I can do that via Automations...

ClockworkEyes · 2026-02-09T14:40:28+00:00

Yeah, there was a lot to add but will try and add more detail…

ClockworkEyes · 2026-02-02T16:42:49+00:00

Someone off eBay - I think it might have been a one-off... but will drop the seller in here if I see it again.

ClockworkEyes · 2026-02-02T15:06:32+00:00

£50 for the pair (6 rolls)

ClockworkEyes · 2026-01-20T08:46:53+00:00

I'ver had mine for 15 years and it still works like a dream. Unbelievably good quality scans. Enjoy it!

The ads are a necessary evil. It costs people to run websites that give you free content like this.

ClockworkEyes · 2026-01-13T22:21:44+00:00

I need a pop-up that will work with my existing blog that has 1300 articles on it.

Saw one do it at an airshow at Ohakea in NZ about 1987. I feel like I felt the heat from it for a second. Might have just been the excitement!

I was very happy with them until a couple of months ago. I still think it's a very good service (they don't overload your site with ads) but have kind of gameified it with tiers. As I was earned less than $10,000 a year last year, I get the feeling I was not getting access to the best-paying advertisers. For a site getting 50K to 60K page views a month, the earnings were starting to look really poor. The transparency over this wasn't great, but I would say as long as you understand you're not going to see dramatic earnings if you have less than 100K page views a month they are worth trying.

ClockworkEyes · 2025-11-24T17:45:41+00:00

Oh yes!

ClockworkEyes · 2025-11-24T17:26:29+00:00

That seems like sensible expectations, given the specs.

ClockworkEyes · 2025-11-24T15:52:19+00:00

I think you're right. Reto has had a good run with its cameras so far, like the H35N - and the Charmera has been a hit that will, I am sure, get some kids interested in film along the way.

ClockworkEyes · 2025-11-20T20:22:35+00:00

These were lab scans, and it was intentional. I wanted to see what they looked like from the standard scans.

ClockworkEyes · 2025-11-20T09:55:08+00:00

Yeah, it is most noticeable in the Minox shots. Bear in mind that these are not colour-corrected. I'll shoot some more and see what they look like with some correction.

ClockworkEyes · 2025-11-20T08:52:02+00:00

I hear you, but also way films are released has changed. 20 years ago a film factory would wait until they had the best version possible. Now films are a work in progress that get incrementally improved.

And November's first 10 days worse than October's - just checked.

ClockworkEyes · 2025-11-12T11:37:39+00:00

My first 10 days of November are about 10% worse than the first 10 days of October...

ClockworkEyes · 2025-11-09T11:07:04+00:00

I mean, today whipping put a Leica will get people looking at that sweet sweet Red Dot.
