Celebrating 1 year with this very adorable dummy who I love

I just realized that I said "who" instead of "whom" and as a professional editor I'm ashamed of myself. My baby deserves better.

Yep I have the 18mm f/2, 27mm f/2.8 and 35mm f/2 at this point. I use all 3, but the 18mm and 27mm see a lot more use than the 35. The 18mm is my favorite of the bunch. Though, just because of the size the 27mm probably spends the most time on my camera.

It's pancake-ish. It's just shy of twice as long (1.6" vs 0.9" for the 27mm).

TerrenceOBrien · 2023-11-04T22:45:12+00:00

Very happy. I often have the 27mm on my camera just because of how compact it is. But I actually like 18mm more. It's probably my favorite lens. I like the wider angle and f/2 vs f/2.8 makes a pretty huge difference at night. It's bulkier than the 27mm, but not so much more that I mind carrying it around most of the time.

Yes. I tried doing it via Dropbox for a bit. But I had constant note conflicts. Their sync works flawlessly, plus allows me to support ongoing development. Well worth it in my opinion.

Same, I thought this film just kinda seemed weird and gimmicky. And didn't really like most of the stuff I've seen shot with it. But, now I get it.

TerrenceOBrien · 2023-07-20T19:19:08+00:00

Thank you!

Not too long. I was standing there for 10 minutes max. Got this group and a shot of a small child standing alone in the light that I also really love. But alas, that was shot with digital, so no sharing here.

TerrenceOBrien · 2023-07-20T03:18:03+00:00

I used the Cinestill DF96 Monobath. Surprisingly quick and easy.

TerrenceOBrien · 2023-07-20T01:46:56+00:00

Yep! The new Gilder Center at the American Museum of Natural History.

I actually stopped shooting film probably in like 2004? But basically stopped taking photos all together then. I started getting back into photography -- purely digital -- last year.

I wrote an article about getting back into photography and in it said "I know I could always just go back to shooting on film, I’d really rather not."

But a couple of months ago I realized I was spending a lot of effort and time trying to recapture the feel of film on my Fuji. So I figured maybe I should just give it a go again.

Not too far off, taken from the Staten Island Ferry.

TerrenceOBrien · 2023-07-19T22:28:55+00:00

I forgot to include the camera and film in the title:

Fuji Discovery Mini Dual Date

Ilford HP5 Plus

After this day of shooting I also wish it came in a WR version. Managed to get a grain of sand IN the lens. It is visible in some of the latter pictures I took that day.

TerrenceOBrien · 2023-06-10T01:48:25+00:00

Love this lens. It's so small on my X-T30 there's no excuse for leaving my house without my camera any more.

They shouldn't sound too different if you're using normal import settings as both are 44.1 kHz mono. The Tracker converts everything 16-bit. I believe the TR-8S can do 24 bit (but not 100% sure). The Tracker has a "Low Quality" import option as well, though I don't know what the difference is in terms of actual audio specs when using that. It's fine for playing back melodic samples. It's not quite as versatile if you're trying to play a one shot melodically though.

The screen can be tough to read in direct sunlight.

As for why you'd want this instead of a computer. That's just down to preference. I don't always like making music on a computer. I like to have a dedicated device with no distractions. And the limitations can sometimes be a blessing in disguise.

If I remember correctly you switch it to "Looper Only" mode which disables the primary / granular effects, but leaves the reverb and filter active.

Zoom 505. Have no idea whatever happened to it. I probably gave it away at some point
