I can also opt to push the film up to ASA 1600 thru simple DIY techniques. Scale focusing with the easy-to-use distance selector (in combination with the wide DOF of the lens) will allow me to focus faster than by using a viewfinder and will put me way more at ease than finicky autofocus does. Automatic exposure (no manual setting available) will free me from thinking too much about my settings and will make me concentrate more on quick framing and composition.</p> <p>The slow maximum aperture (f/3.5) will not be a problem for I will be needing the wide DOF of smaller apertures anyway.</p> <p>And it can shoot macro for Pete’s sake! (Not my thing though.)</p> <p>All these for a camera no larger than my palm, minus the fingers. Yes, minus the fingers! It’s just how small it is.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Ibleedfilm/~4/hwcsG9ohFQ4" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ibleedfilm/~3/hwcsG9ohFQ4/50494207747http://ibleedfilm.com/post/50494207747Wed, 15 May 2013 21:19:35 +0800believeinfilmfilmfilm photographyphotographyanaloganalog camerafilm cameraanalogueanalogue cameracameracamera pornhttp://ibleedfilm.com/post/50494207747I’m assuming you’re from the US so here goes… I bought my beakers, thermometers...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Ibleedfilm/~4/jHxSrxzLQzM" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ibleedfilm/~3/jHxSrxzLQzM/50493017574http://ibleedfilm.com/post/50493017574Wed, 15 May 2013 20:48:25 +0800http://ibleedfilm.com/post/50493017574<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/581bd928178bf84cfa4281bcb31130e3/tumblr_mmaklmzErv1qio4tio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://vandalog.tumblr.com/post/49621281655/le-grand-jeu-by-iemza-mto-in-an-abandoned" target="_blank">vandalog</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>“Le grand jeu” by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IEMZA" target="_blank">IEMZA</a> & <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mto.page" target="_blank">MTO</a> in an abandoned space in Muizon, France.

I literally just picked up my first ever still image camera—a freshly handed down Yashica Electro 35 GSN—and started shooting.</p> <p>I was naive then. People, mostly kids, came up to me and asked for their photos to be taken. More often than not, I obliged.</p> <p>I have lost that. Nowadays, I snob requests from strangers. Although I still need to be selective (as a safety precaution especially if you’re living in this side of the world), I should grant requests more frequently.</p> <p>I guess that’s my goal for the rest of the year then.</p> <p>A heartful thanks to the photograph of this kid and his most genuine of smiles for reminding me of things forgotten.</p> <p><em>P.S. This photograph is so cliche. If you’re familiar with Filipino street photography, you know what I mean. Lol.</em></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Ibleedfilm/~4/06a3bVBJv40" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ibleedfilm/~3/06a3bVBJv40/46337195671http://ibleedfilm.com/post/46337195671Tue, 26 Mar 2013 22:28:00 +0800filmfilm photographyanaloganalog photographyanalogueanalogue photographyphotographystreetStreet Photographybelieveinfilmibleedfilmphotographers on tumblrweshootmanilastreetsmusingshttp://ibleedfilm.com/post/46337195671<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9e9ca4b4127469bb9d8e5cc91da80c17/tumblr_mk7vyrtusL1rsd49go1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Sidecar</strong></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Ibleedfilm/~4/6oIQIRL271E" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ibleedfilm/~3/6oIQIRL271E/46247344146http://ibleedfilm.com/post/46247344146Mon, 25 Mar 2013 20:56:51 +0800filmfilm photographyanaloganalog photographyanalogueanalogue photographyurbanurban explorationurban photographyphotographyBlack and WhitemonochromestreetStreet PhotographybelieveinfilmibleedfilmkodakKodak Tri-XCanonetCanonhttp://ibleedfilm.com/post/46247344146<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZYgqPnd9XAM?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>A simple review of the Yashica Electro 35 CC rangefinder camera by Paulo Moreira.</p> <p>I have three of these now: a CC without the film pouch (a gift from my friend <a href="http://zdp-189.tumblr.com" target="_blank">Dan</a>), a CC with the film pouch (like the one in the video) and a rare CCN (traded for my Canonet G-III QL17).</p> <p>Suffice to say, I love these crazy CC’s.</p> <p>Anyhow, I’m reposting here my comment on the video, something you might find useful when you do get to own a CC (or any of the cameras in the Yashica Electro 35 line):</p> <blockquote> <p>There’s a way to avoid the clanking sound whenever you advance the camera (applies to most Electro 35’s too). You can try half-pressing the shutter release button (just enough so as to avoid inadvertent trigger of the shutter) while cranking the film advance lever.</p> <p>Voila! Watch your CC turn even more ninja than before!</p> </blockquote><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Ibleedfilm/~4/i9T7xA5fSiA" height="1"
