What better device to take to a tropical island paradise full of palm trees, sand and exotic wildlife than the Gameboy? (And I get the added pleasure of not really knowing if my experiments worked until we get back.)

I'd completely forgotten that I have a lovely little Kodak Bantam. The aperture and shutter speeds look great, but it needs a good clean, and the bellows definitely need a liberal application of liquid electrical tape.

A view inside the bellows of a Kodak Bantam folding camera. The white marks are pinholes (some more like knitting needles) in the bellows. These holes go all around. Mind you, it would be great for light leaks.

A bit too late for the #ShittyCameraChallenge (not sure that the Zeh Goldi is a shitty camera anyway) here's a post from this great little 127 format camera.

A Day Out In Nazaré With The Zeh Goldi, A 1930s Folding Camera

When the post introducing the Zeh Goldi was published back in June, we had planned a visit to Nazaré, and I was determined that one of the cameras I would take with me was the Goldi. Unfortunately this was postponed, as was the next trip, and the next. So the Goldi sat unused, waiting for the day that we could make the journey.

It was unplanned, but instead of heading to Nazaré for an analogue day out I took the Shitty compiant Canon EOS 10D and Lensbaby Muse to Vagueira. #Canon10D, #LensBlur, #Lensbaby, #TiltShift, #LensbabyMuse, #EffectLens, #ShittyCameraChallenge,

The Shitty Camera Challenge: The Lensbaby Muse And A Now-Shitty DSLR

I had this dumb idea a while back. One of my favourite beasties at the moment is the Ilford Pixie 35-II, a basic plastic 35mm camera that produces images with the most amazing radial blur effect. For a while, I've wanted to create a similar effect with a digital camera, and I did have some success with the homemade 'Deakinizer', holding a wide-angle converter reversed over the lens, but this is cumbersome and oftentimes it's quite fiddly to achieve the desired effect.

Currently tidying up and making a record of the cameras in the display cabinet. I think this is my favourite shelf on the digital camera side so far (on the analogue side it's going to be the Rapid camera shelf, I know it).

Part of a column from a spreadsheet of a list of cameras. Most of these are Nikon's early 2000s swivel head cameras: Konica Minolta Dimage Z10 Nikon Coolpix 990 Nikon Coolpix 950 Olympus Pen E-P1 Olympus Pen E-PL1 Nikon Coolpix 4500 Nikon Coolpix 900 Canon Powershot G12 Nikon Coolpix 4500 Generic sport action camera Yi action camera Nikon Coolpix S4 (The action cameras were in the same case. I've circuit bent one and I'm not sure what to do with these.)

Back from holiday, with just a roll of expired Fuji Superia through the Pixie and a few images from the I-10 to show for it. Frugal Shitty Camera Challenge pickings indeed. However, rummaging through some powerbanks on my return I did find the Canon Powershot G9X that I lost some two years ago.
