It's been a while since I've run a roll of film through my Canonet. This camera is old and really forces me to slow down when using it which is something I love. I've started using a metering app for my iPhone to give me a ballpark exposure and that is helping get decent things out of this early 1960's era camera. That said, I seem to lose a lot of frames to blur - I'm a little suspect of the shutter mechanism as even with a high shutterspeed (1/250th or 1/500th) it produces some wonky images. Still, here are a few of my favourites from a walk this weekend:

Some kids with too much time on their hands made this video of my old school. It’s random as can be and at times hilarious, but I was completely enthralled. To everyone else, I imagine it’ll mean nothing!

The 5DII has an amazing movie feature, and though it's basically full time manual focus (which is a bit tough with gloves on) it's bloody amazing and worth the effort. I should warn though - I'm no Spielberg just yet! Try clicking the link to shoot over to the Vimeo site to watch it in high def. It's night and day.
