Once again, IKEA has exploded and a pile of pre-fab furniture has miraculously landed in our house. Again. I mean, what are the chances, right?
They all have a home in mind but I’ve only put one of them away so far.
I was actually listening to that record when I was putting the last piece together. Once the record player was moved I just swapped from a streaming service to a spinning medium without missing a beat.
I started the film page with the idea that I wouldn’t post film images on this page (unless they were reblogged from the other page). I also said I was going to post digital vs film comparisons because… because. So I guess that allows me to post a few film pics, right?
Last week I put on a record and took a spinning media picture. Pretty sure I posted it here. I also took about the same shot with the Nikon Ebay film camera too. I think everything about the digital pic is better, but I also think I prefer the film pic. Maybe I am just an old fashioned sucker.
This one is digital:
Nikon D90
This one is film:
Nikon FG-20
Isn’t that interesting?
Now we move to Methuen’s little downtown area, specifically the used record store. I’ve taken this three times, one digital and two film, one with each camera. The two Nikons have a wider lens than the Pentax, so the Pentax is zoomed in much more than the other two, but you’ll get the gist of it.
This one is digital, it’s also portrait:
Nikon D90
This one is film from the Nikon and it’s landscape:
Nikon FG-20
This one is Dad’s Pentax. Like I said, it’s zoomed in more. It also has a coloring that might be from the roll of film or it might be from scanning it with my iPhone or maybe it might be because it was within about an hour after sunrise while the other two were later in the morning. I don’t know exactly, but I kinda like it.
Pentax K1000
Which one do I like best? I think the second one. The Nikon film one. I think I will do the Pentax one again at some point. If I do, I won’t get it developed at CVS and I won’t be scanning it with my iPhone.
Now I just have to try to remember not to reblog whatever posts these film shots end up on. I can do that (but I’ll probably fail).
Lunchtime photo shoot. I took two pics of a spinning record (Rush – A Farwell to Kings. Side two, track four. Cygnus X-1) with the digital camera and then tried to take the same pic with a film camera. Someday in the distant future I may be able to compare the results.
