A few weeks ago, I wrote about finding a camera among my grandfather’s old things. It was a lucky find, and something I don’t intend to let go of anytime soon.

I was able to take it for test shots a few weeks ago. I messed up a lot and used up just about half of the film. My mistake, I made a mistake with advancing the film advance lever, and thought that I had reached the last frame. Turns out, I wasn’t able to advance it properly. Too bad. I was still able to get some good shots, though.

I’ve fed the camera a roll of black and white film, and I’m looking forward to trying it out. There are more photos from the first roll in the Flickr set.

Sometimes, I use Photoshop actions for my images (which you can view on my Flickr). In this entry, I’m going to share some of my favorite Photoshop actions. A Photoshop action is a series of tasks compiled in one file. It’s pretty good for when you’re in a rush or just feeling too lazy to think of what to do to an image.

Most of these links offer several actions in a single file. The images I’ve included show the results delivered by my favorite action among the ones included in each set. Perhaps I should make my own and invest in one of these retail pos systems.

Oh, and as you can see, there’s a new layout. I thought the old one was too thin. There might be a few problems if you view it on 800×600. But on 1024×768 and up, it should be fine.
