Day 116 - Full Frame Flame ( ode to @fullframeshow )

ulight.me/day-116-full-frame-flame-ode-to-fullframeshow/

Full frame flame, full frame flame, fur flame fame ... wow, try to say that 3Xfast.

This is a photo of my sweet vintage AE-1 Canon 35mm Film camera. It's funny how a full frame digital camera with an F/1.4 50 mm lens can be around 3,000 CAD! when you're staring at a $100 optical equivalent.

 

I wanted to make something funky for today's shot as well as give a shout out to my boys at the Full Frame Show, keep up the great job Ren, Chris, Mark and Nile. Thank you for the SHOW.

 

To make this photo I used bulb exposure mode on the AE-1 and propped the shutter button down with a hair pin to keep it open. I placed a candle behind the AE-1. I used some small LED flashlights to light the front of the camera and 1/13th of a second later at F9 ISO 800, voilà, we have our photo of Day 116.
