oo..cutting..oo




oo..rolled..where the canister were marked with film type, ISO and number of frames..oo







2. Sheet film



Dark Room

 1. Finally a dark room had been set-up after a long time being delayed due work and family commitment.

2. It was the second bathroom within the studio.

3. The first part of the exercise is to do the wiring and setting up the light-seal.

4. The second part is to tidy up (really?) the messy wiring by putting up cable hangers (DIY - made up of toothbrush hangers) and putting up the table-top.

5. The table-top was a left over plywood sheets from previous work for the studio.

6. The supports for the bench are two open cabinets and the sink.

Lense: FUJINON SW 90mm f/8
Film: Fomapan 100
Develop: Stearman Press SP-76EC developer 10 minutes
Scan: Epson V600 x2


1. It was a bright morning with a bit of golden light.

2. Brought the camera out and set it not far from my front gate in-order to get familiar how to operate.

3. An old black t-shirt was used to cover the head during focusing.

4. I was using f32 to f36 to control the DOF and speed was around 1/30 to 1/60 whereby a remote cable was used.

5. There were 2 film holders so they were 4 frames ready to be exposed.

6. Then i moved to a neighbourhood park with lake view.

1. I alighted at Bank Negara Station, one station ahead of my actual stop.

2. Took a stroll along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

3. The film duly loaded in the earlier similar camera but not working.

4. Since it was early morning, i figured a 400 film is suitable.

5. After finishing the roll i loaded the the 200 NEXIA A200 film.
