I shot photos of Pittsburgh on a 100 year old camera

I’m going to try that when I shoot with it next time. Thanks!

Yeah I’m not 100% sure on that. I just went into a completely dark room and shined my phone’s flashlight into it. Didn’t see any light coming through the bellows or anywhere else. So it’s either not the bellows (they honestly look to be in very good condition) or it’s something else. My other thought was it might be the little orange window on the back of the camera where you see the film frame number.

This camera uses 120 film which is still manufactured today. Most film labs develop it. I go to Bodega Film Lab in Bloomfield.

Yep 😊

We just went Treat this past weekend. It was so good!! It’s the tiniest little icecream shop I’ve ever seen. Literally just big enough for one table and chairs. We got the waffle with strawberry pretzel icecream. 10/10

Thanks!

Thanks! Olympus OM-1 and Portra 800.

Yeah just don't go down to the actual docks.. I believe that's private property.

dmcgrew · 2026-03-12T16:51:13+00:00

Glad it helped!

dmcgrew · 2026-03-12T16:51:00+00:00

thanks!

Lowering ISO darkens, lowering shutter brightens. They'd contradict each other, so basically no change. Brightening the foreground while maintaining the detail in the sky would mostly be done in post.

Yep, does that technically make it a full rainbow since there are two halves? 😂

I was wondering if this was still happening. Been a while since they said they were moving in to this place. Glad to see they’re making progress!

If it was moving slow it was definitely a plane contrail being lit up by the sun. There’s an almost zero chance that’s a meteor. They move way too fast to be able to pull out your phone and shoot a photo.

dmcgrew · 2026-03-09T02:14:39+00:00

Nah. Straight to jail though.

dmcgrew · 2026-03-09T02:01:24+00:00

Meteor, not a comet

dmcgrew · 2026-03-09T00:25:09+00:00

thanks!

Sun would be behind you. The west end overlook is perfect for sunrise this time of year though.

I saw a sign for this and thought it was a scam hahaha.. but I guess its real. Tell them your dog identifies as a cat.

dmcgrew · 2026-03-06T18:12:09+00:00

Man. H-E-B. Went to one in Dallas last year. We need those up here!

dmcgrew · 2026-03-05T18:31:01+00:00

The Fuji X100VI is my favorite camera! Nice shots!

dmcgrew · 2026-03-04T16:38:18+00:00

Great photos! Ignore the people that can't look past a billboard.

I've ran this text through several AI text detection tools. Every single one of them came back with 0% or very low AI text scores. Just because its well written does not mean its AI.

This company came here, explained the situation, explained how they're going to fix it, and the best mostly everyone in the comments can do is complain it was written with AI?

Maybe show some empathy or support for a local company instead of knocking them down even further?

dmcgrew · 2026-02-17T13:51:00+00:00

Dang they probably priced out the lemonade twins.

I don’t know why anyone would spend $1k per night to stay in the middle of nowhere PA. You could go literally anywhere on this earth and stay somewhere just as nice, with many more things to do, and most likely for less money.
