I tried the FP-100C negative bleaching trick and it worked great! It's like a super simple way to get the rush of seeing big ol' medium format negatives. I can't wait to get a good scan at work tomorrow.
Next up, getting flash triggers working!
@b_cavello @jasonsteakums I'm thinking you'd probably want to use something like S3 for image storage.
This is a really interesting question, actually. I've been looking at Mastodon as a final productβdidn't occur to me to look at it as, I don't know, sort of like Wordpress for social networking.
And you could call it "Mammogram" because it's based on Mastodon which is KINDA SORTA LIKE A MAMMOTH
@jasonsteakums I believe that's what on.vu (which seems to be down right now) is trying to do. I also saw that someone was going to set up mastodon.photography. I'd keep your eye on those two when they come back online.
Is there a Mastodon instance that's basically Instagram? I suppose all you'd need for a masto insta (mastogram?) would be different CSS to display toots on just those instances that want to do it, and people could still follow from other instances and see the default image display... Kinda best of both worlds, photo-heavy display if you want it, vanilla masto if you don't.
I'm really psyched to try bleaching the negatives (http://snapitseeit.com/how-to-bleaching-fp-100c-neagatives/), I didn't even know you *could* bleach and scan pack film negatives and the quality seems even better than the positives.
Yesss it works! Now to walk the knife edge of wanting to use this constantly and, well, $2 a shot (and only getting more expensive) film... https://octodon.social/media/3mho9VtYFW6YEnxalew
Oooh, my film and materials for modding that Polaroid Land Camera to take AAA batteries are waiting for me at home!
I also need to make a little portable drying box to keep the prints separate while drying when I'm out & about, and I might need to hack together a flash mount to make modern flashes work with the old bulb flash system's delay (but maybe putting a flash on rear curtain mode would work...) because Polaroids SCREAM to be used with vaporwavey color flash gels
yayy projects!
Sure, I don't *need* a Mamiya Universal Press camera, but....
(oh god somebody get me away from ebay)
When your back is jacked up so you have to lay flat on the floor but you still really have to binge episodes of Car Boys, ingenuity will save the day https://octodon.social/media/dNl7E2FRNB_d6iB5Qi8
Sometimes my phone screen likes to register phantom touches and flip out, so to the person who just got a rapid fire set of favorite/unfavorite/refavorite/etc on their toot, hope your notifications weren't turned up too loud!
It's like playing social Russian roulette if you've got something written out but not quite edited into coherence and the Phantom of the Touchscreen decides you really want to post RIGHT NOW or message a totally different person than intended
I dreamt I saw someone with a bag full of Mastodon social media marketing books and merch and dream me was like, welp, fun while it lasted
boost this toot if you agree that "boost this toot" is a fun thing to say
I just had this BΓΊn ChαΊ£ GiΓ² two days ago but I want it agaaain

Maybe the real social media was all the friends we made along the way

Test Kitties are a little expensive and hard to work with, but they're indispensable when you're trying to dial in a specific custom b&w tone for straight out of camera jpegs. Highly recommend this product, would use a Test Kitty again :star: :star: :star: :star: :star: https://octodon.social/media/Lv4WSx0H-8TwH-VE2ZE

Wait when did Jens Lekman start doing catchy indie disco and why did nobody tell me https://youtu.be/9huLGwbpoiA
Jens is pushing all my Infected-era The The buttons in that video and I never knew how much I wanted him to go full on Matt Johnson until now
