When you miscount and think you have bulk loaded one roll more than you actually have, you run into some problems. When you think, ‘ok, yes, that last roll often has a few more frames on it’ and keep winding but it doesn’t stop even at a frame count of fifty, there has to be something wrong. This just happened to me. And now I have one very very full canister with 50+ frames and one with around 30, which could have easily used another 10 more frames.
One should probably always stop when the canister is full enough. At the worst you’ll have so little film left unspooled, it doesn’t make sense for another roll. But I think that’s better than having to deal with a fat 50-frame roll, where I’m unsure, if it’ll be usable in any camera without issues or whether it’ll fit in the developing tank. I’ll probably just waste a few centimetres and trim that one down to 40+ exposures before using it.
A new track from the upcoming The Raconteurs album. Digging it!
And I also bought tickets for both of us for to see them in Cologne in May. So we finally get to see Jack White live. Very much looking forward to this one, too!
Hier drei Empfehlungen für schmackhaftes alkoholfreies Bier. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Sorten sind diese eher herb und somit sehr gut zu trinken:
Jever Fun
Fiege Frei
Flensburger Frei
Prost!
When massive sites like Twitter or YouTube break basic browser functionality like the “Back”/“Forward”- and “Reload”-buttons – like is currently the case – I often wonder how and why on earth did this state make it into production.
Too tired and too late to still write something. 😕 🤷♂️
I recently bought a UV filter for my Voigtländer Nokton lens. I’m not really interested in its UV-filtering capabilities; instead, I want it to protect my lens’ glas from damage. I usually carry my camera around my neck or shoulder without a lens cap, so some form of protection makes me feel more comfortable doing so.
I wasn’t too keen to put a piece of glas in front of the actual lens – since this could result in reflections and worse image quality in general – but so far it seems to have been working alright.
Previously, I’ve been using a lens hood for protection. But it’s kind of bulky and I think it occasionally results in black corners on the photo. And that’s why I’m currently trying this new filter instead.
I really dislike drilling. I’m always a little nervous, because I don’t know how the wall will behave and what obstacles I might encounter. And there always seems to be something going wrong each session. Plus I’m never quite sure what equipment to use.
But that’s probably all because I don’t do it very regularly. So, “keep drilling” I guess.
Shooting the Rollei is always fun, though, so I didn’t mind.
Ok, so yesterday I went to see Suffocation (among other bands) at the Turock in Essen. I don’t know how they manage to play their complex Death Metal so tightly. An absolutely amazing band, especially live! And since Bernd builds the instruments for their bass player, we got to meet them, and have some backstage beer, too. I had a great time!
Today, Erik helped me install the fridge and hang more curtains in Zoe’s room. And just now, I hung the remaining cupboard doors in the kitchen. Then I rewarded myself with a beer.
Did work a full day today. That means not too much progress at home. But managed to finish the assembly of a cupboard for the living room, hung one set of curtains in Zoe’s room and put up our desk. Plus, Nicole did some work in the kitchen and bathroom, too. Actually that’s some ok progress, now that I think of it.
Been to the dentist this morning. The pain was close to unbearable. And luckily he was able to help me, so that I no longer had to quietly sit down and suffer every half hour. But there’s a root treatment coming up soon. 😕
The moving-in is progressing, but it feels like a never ending story. The kitchen is driving me a little mad. Anyhow, here’s the latest visual update of that room:
This must be our most exhausting move, yet. Taking over a completely empty apartment, plus having a child to take care of, makes everything just take so much longer than we are used to. But don’t really want to complain: we had great helpers and managed to get everything done we wanted to get done yesterday! And while there’s still a lot to do, we’re very happy having finally moved in to our new home in the new neighbourhood.
But then again – speaking of complaining – I started having toothache this weekend, plus the big toe on my right foot is half numb. Thank you very much, but that’s not exactly what I need right now.
Exhausted!
Made some progress today: assembled some more cupboards, put the sink in place, had the oven installed, received the fridge, connected and screwed on some kitchen lights, hung lamps, did an assortment of little things, cleaned up the whole place. And currently still packing things at the current place.
So, tomorrow can come! We’re moving. We hope Zoe will be ok, spending most of the day without us.
