I’ve been away for a while. Sorry...Thank you to Darth Gutterman for finding new ways to motivate me! This episode is about a little bit of serendipity.
In this episode I try my best to explain exposure, the exposure triangle, and what the Sunny 16 rule is all about, plus quite a bit more regarding playing with exposure. Reach me at genxphotogpod@gmail.com and find me on Instagram and Flickr at Mario Piper.
In this episode, I talk about Lomochrome Metropolis, Kodak 2254, COVID, and a little more.
This episode comes at a difficult time for us all. Just trying to be encouraging. Also, just a little about my love for viewfinders.
In this episode, I talk about exciting Kodak news, Super Low ISO film, Redscale film, found film, and a project I’ll be doing in April. New email: genxphotogpod@gmail.com
This week I delve a bit into single focal length lenses. A few addendums: the FZ-20 has a 36-432 mm lens, the LX-3 has a 24-60mm zoom lens, the Fujifilm X10 has a 28-112mm lens, and the iPhone has a 35mm equivalent lens. Got some of those particulars wrong in the episode.
Just a little about generational differences between older and younger generations, how we should treat each other, and a little about a photo I took. Find me on Instagram @mariopiper. Please subscribe and rate, if you so please.
This, being my first episode, is a little rough. I wax a little poetic about film. I’m a bit long winded. But I hope you enjoyed at least a little bit...
