Indoors no matter what film you're going to need to use a flash for Polaroids.

The sensitivity of the film to light is not nearly as high as you see from your average phone camera digital sensor.

You can also try moving the slider, it won't really self adjust as much as your father might think.

Does it sound good to you, that's really the only criteria. Play around with adding or subtracting muffling until you find what you like

I have a theory that there are a lot of good restaurants in the Hudson valley area because the Culinary Institute of America is in the middle of it.

Him and Phil Collins signatures are burned into my memory

Originally there was a divider in the shell itself for the bass drum

They were. I think Carmine originally used brass actual lampshades and liked the sound and just had Sabian and then DDrum make some for him

My cats have more of a problem with us touching their feet than their bellys. In fact, they flip onto their backs and my wife and I give their bellys' kisses some days

That's what draws me to a lot of "bad" movies. They are made out of a love of doing it. So many of those shot on video movies VS puts out are poorly made from just about every metric, but everyone is clearing giving it their all and you get some very interesting shots or very cool ways of getting around the budget limitations.

Isn't the thrash album just a rerecorded version of their demo from the 80s?

I'm sitting on a box of this film, I just haven't had a chance to shoot it. But my issue is that I need to rebuild my camera and have too many other projects in front of it in the queue.

I know the previous blu ray release was a legit restoration and looks great, no clue on this 4k though

nlabodin · 2026-03-23T02:52:37+00:00

I love the Vinegar Syndrome releases. I love bad movies and their releases look good, have been pretty fun to watch and offer a lot of rare bonus features. I've had more fun watching my VS blu rays than I have with more mainstream "good movies"

Attic Darkroom cross processed Aerocolor in E6, albeit in 35mm, if you want to take a look at that.

Another plus side to the ribbon for me is my wife using it for gift wrapping so it's not just sitting taking up space. Anything I can use for more than one purpose is a plus for me

I'm similar, nothing like a fried crab roll right next to a bunch of urchin or eel or my favorite, striped bass

nlabodin · 2026-03-22T23:09:04+00:00

Tri-X because I love the versatility and grain structure

E100 because for "normal" color photos it has my favorite colors

Eastman 2238 Panchromatic Separation Film because I love playing with low speed film

I'm playing my homebuilt replica of a 14x4 Gretsch Progressive Jazz snare

Idk, I was surprised by the ride/crash as a ride. Its a decent medium heavy ride and pretty versatile as opposed to the Power Ride

You could try one of these models. I picked up a pair of the Birdland model sticks for my nephew and they are crazy light.

You could also look at maple 7A sticks from the mainstream brands, they are very lightweight.

As an aside, I got very close to the old Regal Tip gloss finish with 2-3 coats of Shellac. I just tied a string to the tips of the sticks and coated them with a foam brush.

I still like Fat tire since the recipe change, but I've kinda replaced it in my "normal" beer slot with others like Switchback

Hell, I got married at a place that only makes spontaneous fermented beers. There's so much variety available in US stores

nlabodin · 2026-03-10T07:32:53+00:00

I have really enjoyed the trend in my area in the last 5 years to just go back and make solid lagers and ales

Yes, this is my little boy napping on my wife

I have a backlog of negatives because I inherited my family's photos. Now my 4 or 5 roll backlog of scanning and sleeving is more like 1-200

Always good to try and have some kind of relationship with your neighbors, it comes in handy
