Bad. Took this with a camera which Shelly sent me, a plastic toy camera, and she'd put lomo redscale in it. I shot it too dark, but I didn't know the cameras ability, got bad results like this. Its a tower on the hill near me and I was going for spooky but it came out like a CCTV picture.

thanks, I was happy to come back and fill up my project, and I loved last years film photography month, i think I shall retire across to flickr though now for good. 730 days man, it feels like longer! I hate to think how many hours I've dedicated to it!! Redscale is really an acquired taste though!
@chewyteeth So what draws you to Flickr over 365? I'm having a love-hate relationship with 365 right now, and it's killing my motivation. After this month, I think I'm taking a break.
It seems really grainy, you should add a layer of texture to mask it. I mainly see the noise in the black area. I really like the photo, and the colors are great. I feel you have captured a creepy feeling. Nice pic.
erm, I suppose exposure. which in the beginning is the defo best thing about 365. Loads of people to look at your work and comment. And flickr is like a desert. But then when exposure is needed less, and you're posting just as an expression of your experimenting you want a more specific crowd who know who you are and where you're coming from. On flickr I have like a handful of people I guess who comment on my shit. Two of them write to me and send me film and cameras and visa versa, and there's a couple more who know my work pretty well. On here I've been really happy to communicate with the people I've followed for ages and see them still posting, but with the daily element, we're all vying for attention, whereas on flickr I might post ten pictures on monday, and someone post five pictures on wednesday and a week later someone post ten pictures and we all have time for each other. On here it sometimes seems defined by the daily element, which of course be definition it is. Does that make ANY sense?
I quite like this Dave - it really has a creepy factor. but creepy in a good way, will try and comment on your work in flickr but struggle some days to keep up with this so I can see the attraction in Flickr. Well done on 200% :)
@ingrid2101
hey, talking about flickr... http://www.flickr.com/groups/mankycams/
I admin a group where we all send each other really crappy toy cameras with a roll of film in, and you have to post the pics to the group, if you wanna join I'm an admin and I have a camera. I ask because you'd do some nice things, and because you're in the British Isles and I've already sent a cam to Peter in Australia. Let me know if you wanna try it. when you've done you post the pics and then send it on, there are people in the group, in Europe and beyond, 365ers and ex-365ers who you could send it to.
@chewyteeth that sounds like fun, I have some seriously shit cameras!! Give me a bit of time to get sorted on here! I am slowly letting go of feeling I need to thank, comment etc. sounds like a lot of fun though ! :D
@ingrid2101
there's no rush, just means I can add you to the group and say I've sent you a camera, there's no pressure then, even if I don't send it you for two weeks and then you take two weeks to get a shot with it. You can send this one out, its come from Shelly in the US, or send yours out to other members.
@ingrid2101
so I mean, I'm bad at this stuff, but if you wanna email me your address, or even better flickr mail it to me then I don't have to write my email address here and get Tom Dick and Harry emailing me, and I'll send you the 'In God We Trust' cam with some film in, and then you just post the pics to that group when you've shot them, and then post it on to someone either of your choice or I can give you someone, but as long as they're register to the group, maybe Carla. Anyways let me know and I'll send it you! ;)
Hey I'll post you a cam tomorrow, then you join the manky cam team! If I didn't explain the process very well you can just shoot a roll then message me. You just have to post the results or the best of them, to the flickr group.
I don't know if you have to generate another cam or just send this one on, I think just the latter, what do you say Peter? This camera originated in Col USA, and in it is 400 ISO and C41 colour for you to develop! I was gonna put something more exciting in but this cam requires a certain amount of light with its small apertures. put it this way if you are on the sun shooting snow, you'd still have to use its widest settings!! @peterdegraaff
@chewyteeth Thanks Dave, keeping my eye out for a camera too. Sounds very interesting - will probably use it for 365 as well as I have no idea how anybody finds the time for this - I mean seriously? I had no idea I would use so much time but I can't give it up :) Am slowly getting into Flickr too and will probably use it more in the future, so many groups! This camera sounds really cool though :)
Yes 365! Totally obsessed - someone described it as being like crack - never tried it but photography is ALL I think about - first thing in the morning til last thing at night
Hey!! It came today - what a stunning piece of kit, Too dark when I got home from work but def going to take it to college tomorrow- I just KNOW they're going to be jealous :) Thank you Dave :)
@chewyteeth Spotted a couple there that I could quite happily play and a mank cam maybe too - nothing in the charity shops here and been looking on ebay but so many !
I also wanted to ask about Flickr as I don't go on there so much but is it "creepy" or stalkerish to add someone as a contact that you don't know? I like Shelley's work but there doesn't seem to be the same as here where you can follow. hope that makes sense :)
hey, no you just add who you like, and hit groups like analog groups and stuff and you'll find if you've got some instant or film posted the people will add you straight back. shelly is the queen of instant, she loves the polaroid SLRs. She just sent me some tungsten and redscale, whoop! but there's some 365 based groups aswell, so you can add the people who you might know on here to build up a friend group. Go through my friends/groups, but then I'm not on there much so.... I like it because there's no time and volume controls, just post when you wanna. And because about 30 people I followed on here moved across in the last 2 years.
Which brings to mind, why are the CCTV picture qualities always such complete crap? The technology exists to have better quality, so why don't they? It would kind of benefit them to have it, no? Anyways, sorry the redscale didn't turn out for you this time, normally you get such beautiful results from it:)
@westcoastwallis
maybe high ISO so that they can see stuff at night, or maybe infa red messes it up to make them 24 hour? I dunno but they're rubbish as is this. She felt bad enough to send me some rolls (Shelly) so I'm a put them through a proper, super-cam and see if its possible to make them super-balls like the lomo website shows.
how you getting on with the In God We Trust Cam. feel free to deface it with stickers/paint before you send it on across the globe. Can't wait to see if your results will be better than mine, which they defo will (see rubbish results above) just make sure you shoot it in super bright light, its a bit prone to dullness. Talking about cameras, I posted yours this lunch time. Its vintage and pretty but it was part of the trying-to-recover-some money because I bought an Olympus Pen weekend. hope you like it.
taken a couple of shots, meant to take it out yesterday but was halfway to where I was going and realised it was in my shed - will def be adding some more attractive "bits" to it. look forward to gettint the camera - I seem to have so many - plastic crate in the boot full of cameras and film. Have fun with your new camera - is that the half-frame one? must stop going on ebay - keep seeing stuff I want :)
@ingrid2101
I was like that for so long, but now its like I've a few things cemented in my mind (witness my 365 profile list of gear to see how bad I've been). Google Olympus Pen FT, I mean its beautiful, and its an SLR with Zuiko 38mm f1.8 lens. amazing. yep, its half frame, so 72 frames on a roll, how good value is that? Cost £130, so feel a bit guilty. Only a few left on the list!! Nikon FM2, Olympus XA, Lomo LCA I think that's it.
I have seen your list!!! My problem is letting go . I have just googled it and that is really beautiful, don't feel guilty. You're going to use and cherish it not put it in a display case.Look at it this way ...you've saved it from a life stuck behind glass. I'm not into shoes or handbags, make-up or any girly stuff so that's how I justify it. I'm sure you're list will get longer...have fun!
hey wait a minute, that's not my current collection!!! I've sold 95% of those now. I only have about 5 rangefinders and 5 SLRs. Thats just the gear I used whilst on 365. he he. I would need a warehouse. It is an absolute pleasure to shoot with (the pen) and stunning. Do they even have make up and handbags on Orkney??
hahaha - no electricity either. Nah just getting older and can't be arsed with all that crap.
Just been looking at your list - did you convert the brownie to take 35 mm - i have one and was interested in doing something like that. Is it fairly straightforward ?
That is a BIG list - amazing
@ingrid2101
I'm pretty happy with the price, I paid 127 including postage and got a pristine leather case with. I took a risk though, the description just said, found this in the attic. They're pretty rare, I guess if I sold it I'd be looking around the £200 mark.
Yeah if you go back a few months I shot a roll of 35mm through a brownie. I also put a roll of 35mm through my nettar, holga and diana. Its never that great. I'll find the pic and show it you.
Got the camera thank you :) No f**** internet for 3 days now so only just getting on to ebay, just to let you know as feedback will not let you ramble on... Film in and raring to go - feels good :) Thanks Dave :) Hopefully be connected soon - at work for a bit as they're BT and don't seem to be affected :)
@ingrid2101
Ha, only about 50% of people leave feedback anyway, I've sold about 70 cameras this year and got no feedback.
Well I hope you get some cool results, like I mentioned in the sale I checked everything worked, as I'm sure you did, the times, the aperture, everything was nice just the wind on a bit sticky, but then I ran a test roll through it and Asda did something to the roll and tried to make out it wasn't their fault, so I was always a bit suspicious. Zeiss Ikon stuff is usually quite interesting. My Nikon FM arrives next week, am super excited!
Sorry for not replying - still no imternet at home so at work, I'll probably be fine without the manual thank you anyway :) You got a FM? I was watching one on ebay - mmmm - wonder if it was the same one. It had a whole pile of lenses and was rather gorgeous!
I hit 200% dude. That was my goal. it would have been nice to match 200% with the end of feb but I wasn't having fun so as soon as I saw it, even though I was on this shitty picture I just skidaddled. You got a flickr? Maybe I follow you already I dunno?
www.flickr.com/daveschoie
yeah, Shades says there's no list to work down, I've just gotta ask if anyone wants the 'In God We Trust' cam.

finds the time for what, 365? it is pretty distracting.

More Shelly redscale, this time through a decent camera:

it just might be possible to make this stuff work...one day.
Thanks Fr Joel, its been a while since I uploaded though, check out later stuff on flickr, www.flickr.com/daveschoie
