Note: This site is currently "Under construction". I'm migrating to a new version of my site building software. Lots of things are in a state of disrepair as a result (for example, footnote links aren't working). It's all part of the process of building in public. Most things should still be readable though.

F3 Nostalgia

I'm watching the move Kalifornia. In it one of the characters is a photographer. She is using a Nikon F3 which was my first real camera and the one that I shot with for probably 10 years. I've still got it and it's still a fine machine. Of course, I don't really use it since all I really shoot is digital. Maybe when I retire or become a full time photographer again I'll bring it back out. In the movie the camera has a motor drive attached. To the sound designers credit, they actually recorded the sound of an F3 with an MD-4 drive on it. Most movies I've seen when a photographer is shooting, the sound is from a completely different camera. -- cagegories -- tagPhotography tagMovies
