Lomography Sprocket Rocket, Kodak Porta 400
No, I have not been lost in a corn maze the last month or two…
I have simply been super busy, both at home and elsewhere. Some of it has been good fun, but frankly a lot of it has simply been staying on top of parenting and life responsibilities.
Thank goodness the recent Roll In A Day was scheduled for a weekend. The few before it were on a week day and I wasn't able to participate.
The theme was "toy camera" so I naturally reached for my Lomography Sprocket Rocket. This camera shoots extra-wide frames on standard 35mm film and even exposes over the sprocket holes.
We visited our favorite pumpkin patch Uesugi Farms in San Martin, California. I took a whole roll there full of corn, pumpkins, a train, and even artillery.
(Yes, it turns out that pumpkins can actually be shot a long distance with respectable accuracy!)
This camera is a blast, and while I don't take it out very often I always adore the results. Good color negative film like Kodak Portra 400 is forgiving enough to get great shots in anything close to daylight even with the Sprocket Rocket's mere two exposure settings.
I hope next month's RIAD is also on the weekend and sticks to a simple theme or is even open ended like the first few were.
