The laws of entropy
never fail.
A closed system, with
a fixed amount of
energy
will tend toward
decay
and chaos.
Soon to fall from
the tree,
we shall feed
other phyla.

My Return to Film Photography - XII
OK, the first order of business today is something I promised about a week ago: I said that I would compare, as fairly as I could, a couple of digital images with their re-creations on film. Here is the first:
The upper image is the digital one, while the lower one was shot on film. I would have to go with the one shot on film. Here is the second pose:
Again, the upper image is the digital one, while the lower one was shot on film. Again, I prefer the one shot on film. It is also true that the digital images lack resolution. I shot them at 4 MP, which was clearly not enough to go up against film.
In my previous instalment in this series, I posted some selfies shot in medium format, using a 28" cable release. This limited the distance from the subject (me) to the film plane to about 38". I decided to try the same thing in 35mm, with the AE-1. Here are a few images:
Next time, we'll put the Canon EOS Rebel 2000 through its paces, with some general-purpose film photography. In the meantime, shoot film, if you can!

143 Thousand Visits, and Many Selfies
A couple of days ago we passed the 143k milestone, but I was too busy to write about it until now. My busyness has mostly been due to my return to film photography, which has so far been covered in eleven parts in the series "My Return to Film Photography." I'll be adding another instalment of that series today.
On the poetry front, poems come when inspiration comes, and the Muse sleeps with whomever she chooses.
With regard to translations, I've phased out my translations into world languages, having decided to leave that to my readers. I will, though, be faithful to my Udugi roots.
My renewed interest in film photography is time-consuming, but I believe it will be an excellent source of inspiration.
Please don't forget that this blog is a two-way street: you can make comments, suggestions, and requests.
In conclusion, I would like to thank you all, once again, for your continued interest and enthusiasm. Wadó, ꮹꮩ.
