How it started… How it’s going

Posted By John Chabalko on July 30th, 2021

(This started as a test post and I think I’ll just leave it here for now.)

Testing my remote setup for basketball games. I’d lopped the end off of a Canon cable release and soldered it to a Radio Slave TS cable, I could fire it from almost anywhere in the arena. I still have the cables, connectors and case I made for it. The rest of it Radio Shack 2 pin connectors that I soldered together and packed with epoxy so they’d be a little more robust. It got used at most home games for 2 seasons.

This camera arrived a couple of hours before we went out to the ocean and to a friend’s house. I looked it up in my image catalog and this is the 3rd frame I made with this camera. It’s a small folding camera that makes a rather large negative with a fixed 75mm lens. Unfortunately while out on the beach I figured out that this camera had a mechanical problem and was going to need to be serviced so i only got to run this 1 roll of film through it that day. It’s been over a year and i still don’t have it back, the repair person is trying to source some long since discontinued parts for it.
