Kelson's Photos

Some of the photos I took with the 1967 Sears TLS manual SLR camera that had been sitting in the closet for 15 years until my 7YO found it last week and we bought some film.

While waiting for the replacement light meter battery, I put an app on my phone. It worked better indoors than in sunlight, but at least got us close to the right exposure.

And we managed to shoot a recognizable constellation in the light-polluted wildfire-smoke-infested skies of Los Angeles!

I'd forgotten what it was like to actually control the depth of field! Here's a shot from the film SLR, with the background blurred optically, and a shot from my phone in portrait mode trying to imitate that effect. (It did better than I expected, considering it sometimes has trouble with putting hair in the background of an actual portrait.) And an unprocessed shot from my phone with its tiny lens & aperture.
