I bought this roll to try it but Phoenix II hasn't convinced me. Grainy AF and don't like the color rendition, feels similar to Wolfen NC400 but with worse reds.

I'm trying to keep my GAS in check, but I kind of would like to have a proper medium format camera and browsing eBay is getting dangerous.
Seriously, I should focus on getting out and taking pictures instead of buying more stuff.

I was trying to revive an old laptop (had to burn a CD-R), and I had to make a Xubuntu bootable drive from Windows
I used BalenaEtcher, but was not impressed: why do I have to install a 100+MB program that phones home to write an image to a USB drive?
I miss Unetbootin, it was great when it worked

Let's enjoy a nice Irish Red Ale as a reward for a long day.
Drinking it, as always, in one of the Guinness glasses I bought in Dublin when visiting the Storehouse in 2003.
Blasphemy? I don't care.

First world problem of the day: I bought a roll of Provia, Amazon IT sent me one of Velvia.
Still don't know if it's a good or a bad thing, this is supposed to be the first roll of slide film I'll ever shoot.

I just gave Copilot a list of 5 bullet points, told in the prompt to add padding and rewrite them as a professional consultant, and it spit back a page of text that could have plausibly been written verbatim by one of the partners at my company. 🤣

Wow. Just snatched a roll of Provia 100F off Amazon IT, 22.86€ with a 15% coupon if you sign for recurrent deliveries. So about 19.43€, 22 US dollars, taxes and next day delivery included.
I tried buying 2, but the coupon only applied to one.
I've never shot slide film before, it'll be interesting

UPS is retiring their MD-11s: I have conflicting feelings about that plane.
I always despised the DC-10 for all its design flaws, and the MD-11 was its last iteration, a 737-MAX-style "modernization" cash grabbing exercise from MD.
Still, it's a piece of aviation history, for better or for worse.

To be fair, at the moment I always carry with me a Konica C35, now loaded with the roll of Harman Phoenix II I bought in London last august, so I'm already trying new a film stock 😜

Today at work they wrote me on Teams during a partners meeting
"can we change your corporate email signature to [my new job title]?"
"yeah I guess" I said
This is how promotions work in IT consulting 🤣
Apparently I needed to appear more professional to a client I'll have to work on in the future

I have a question for fellow film photographers: just got some respooled #Vision3 #500T #AHU (the new one w/o remjet)
Do you have any tips on what #ISO should I expose it at? The seller says 800 if developed in C-41, but recommends 500 for better results.

God I love Reddit.
Someone posted a photo of a 35mm BW roll of film they tried developing at home to ask what caused the problem they had
It seemed a clear case of not enough solution (they used monobath, ugh)
One comment said "not enough picture juice"
I almost spit out the tea I was drinking 🤣
