Today we went to Oliveira do Bairro and there was enough time for a good walk around the town. Of course I took my latest acquisition, the Olympus Camedia C-3030 digicam from 2000. As well as some ‘regular’ colour photographs I was keen to test out the wonderful infrared sensitivity of this vintage digicam in an urban environment. 

Of course the infrared results were fabulous, filled with greys and deep reds. I was also encouraged to try some red/blue channel swapping on these images. Channel swapping infrared images is somewhat that I have wanted to try for a long time. However,  I had always been a little wary of the complexity of the technique. Turns out I needn’t have worried. Channel swapping was simply setting the blue in the red channel to 1 and the red in the red level to zero, and vice versa in the blue channel.

The #CameraChallenge is back! After a break in June for #FilmJune, a series of questions about film and gear on Twitter, July saw the return of the cheap camera challenge on Twitter.

This month was a challenge in more than name. In addition to having to use a film or digital camera costing less than £20 (23€) the theme for this month was ‘Environmental Waste’. In this day and age that should be easy, since modern life literally breeds Waste and there are always horror stories of fly-tipping being reported. 

Unfortunately (or fortunately for us) we live in the countryside, and most people in the area are very aware of not dumping rubbish around the countryside. The local authority provides plenty of communal bins and recycling stations, and they also have weekly collections of recyclicals. So here we are, trying to find environmental waste in an area that prides itself in keeping waste where it belongs.

For this Challenge  the value of the camera, be it film or digital, should not exceed £20. I opted to use both a film and digital camera with the construction of a through the viewfinder combination of a Ferrania Elioflex pseudo TLR camera (15€) and a Nikon Coolpix S8000 digital camera (8€). This brought my total spend to 23€, which at today’s exchange rate was just under the wire at £19.90.

I learned about through the viewfinder photography (TTV) a while ago from some long-forgotten YouTube video but have since become quite captivated by the idea. Put simply,  TTV is taking a photograph through the viewfinder of another camera. To take the photograph you can use any digital or film camera, but the viewing camera is often a vintage TLR or pseudo TLR camera.

Through the viewfinder photography first came to prominence in the early 21st century, and for a few years from around 2010 was quite popular. As usual with these things, I am way behind the curve but I built a light tight box out if 5mm black foam board that would contain the Ferrania and hold the Nikon in place.

As mentioned, the main difficulty was in finding suitable subjects that would fulfil the challenge of representing ‘Environmental Waste’. The worst I could find to begin with were people leaving the communal bins open, but around them were sometimes clothes or items that had been tipped out and scavenged through or left near the bins because they could not be fitted inside the bin.

Then I came across a huge pile of tree branches, waste following the cutting down or nearby woodlands. ‘Back in the day’, as they say, this waste would have been burned, but nowadays all the waste is shredded into tiny pieces and recycled into other products.

#camerachallenge today. Practice digital camera infrared photography. Some success. The filter cut out all visible light below 720 nm and let's in infrared and a tiny amount of barely visible red. In nature chlorophyll and water vapour reflect infrared strongly, very strongly on a hot bright blue day like today. Good learning curve. Next stop colour infrared #InfraredPhotography

Getting more practiced with our new used #pentax camera today. I've just bought a cable release #intervalometer to minimise camera shake when doing zoomed in macro flower portraits. isn't this Indian summer marvellous for the #garden. #camerachallenge

#ShittyCameraChallenge and #CameraChallenge have come together and created the perfect shitstorm😄 As usual, the viewfinder is really just decorative. It has nothing to do with what ends up in the negative😂

@allysseriordan ... not any more. I was out taking digital aerochromes this week for the #CameraChallenge on Twitter and overdid it. Now I'm recovering from heatstroke/dehydration. Worth it, though.

@analogfusion I am hoping to be able to do some trichrome IR. Plus I hope to do some architectural pics for the #camerachallenge on the bird site. The Lomo Apparat is probably the choice for that endeavor.

I've decided to have a bash at the May #CameraChallenge

Here's my brief plan.

Over on 'the other place' (yes, I still lurk over there from time to time, just to keep my handle active) it was #CameraChallenge month. This time you could pick any camera and the theme was 'textures'. So I picked the Gameboy and went out in search of some trees.

This week I talk about taking part in jason Avery's April #CameraChallenge with a theme of Textures. I used Ilford FP4 in my trusty FED 2 with Jupiter 8 50mm f/2
