Considering setting up my own #Pixelfed instance.
I have been using Mastodon to occasionally post some of my #photography but I don't like how it is mixed up with my other non-photography content. It would like to have a space dedicated to photography.

There seems to be a very high concentration on a few Pixelfed instances anyway so I guess it won't hurt to add anothe one?

Any followers that are using Pixelfed or interested in joining?

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

Should I write an article about AI in relation to film photography?

I previously wrote about NFTs here: https://www.analog.cafe/r/nfts-and-film-photography-pkcb and now have some new thoughts.

Speak for yourself pal, I need my negs so that I can throw them in a big box with all the others and never, ever get around to sorting them out. As it should be.

Bought some new #FerraniaFilm to try out. There aren’t that many photos taken with this film on here or Flickr, so I’m not quite sure what to expect. Now I just need to go somewhere interesting… 🥲

I’ve got a new camera! Pentax KX. Unlike the Canon Ae-1 Program, it’s fully mechanical. Everything seems to be in working order, except the focusing ring being misaligned and rotating past infinity.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

There's a film photographers' competition deadline coming up with a $1,000 cash prize for the first place (and other prizes, inc. exhibition).

It's called Analog Sparks. Entry fees range from $10 to $25, which is quite reasonable in my opinion.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

I've been working on an insane amount of film development this past couple of weeks; thus, I couldn't be very active here. Also a bit tired of social media.

However, there are some news (ish) that I feel obligated to share:

Fujifilm Superia X-Tra, an ISO 400 colour 135 film has been discontinued.

https://www.analog.cafe/comments/2xgo

In the post (above) I explain why it's unexpected this time and what I hoped to hear from the company instead.
