[ronaldreyworld-blog]

I think it is getting harder and harder to find a good SLR camera. Let alone, you can’t buy one at any retail stores like BestBuy or Tartget. 

Only good places would be through online retailers like Amazon where they have the old but used gentle. 

I find myself visiting Filmcameraexpert website quiet often because they have many film cameras and instant cameras that are good for the beginners. Check it out!

In growing & fast digital world, everything is updated every single year. For example, Apple, Samsung, and other phone company manufacturers update their device every year to get attention of people. The cameras in this smartphones are amazing. some of them are simply better than digital cameras. 

However, do you know that the old cameras don’t get updated? Wait. They simply don’t. Most film camera companies stopped making this cameras because they aren’t popular as they used to be.

What if you are an analog camera advocate and you want to learn how to use it? The question is - is the camera available for your passion? 

The answer to that is Yes and No. You may not get a brand new camera but you should be able to get one that’s a mint condition. 

The popular cameras are Pentax K1000 , Minolta X-370, and Canon AE1 are the main ones.

Check this website and see if you like them.

We got a new puppy in the house. The girls have been asking for a dog the past few months and I finally pulled the trigger to get her from an adoption center. She flew from Korea so she is little bit tired in the morning/afternoon but she is adjusting to her new house very well. 

My wife says that this will limit my time to go out to take photos. It’s ironic that my film cameras broke recently and I can’t go anywhere during Winter. Well. I can try to train her during this time and go to the park with her to take photos. She will be my photo models going forward!

Real Film Camera Shop

I am having trouble with my Pentax K1000. I tried to buy used one on Amazon. But the ones I looked are not readily available. So I looked everywhere online and found this website: Brooklyn Film Camera. They have this Pentax K1000 for $220. It’s a lot of money but this seems like a legit website to purchase from. 

The classic 35mm SLR from Pentax.  Shutter speeds from 1/1000 to 1-second, a built-in light meter, and a fast 50mm f/2 lens.  Fast and fun to use and produces incredibly sharp images with beautiful depth-of-field.  A fantastic camera for a photographer at any skill level. Uses any 35mm films.

Brooklyn Film Camera Attn: Camera Department 1130 Bedford Avenue #405 Brooklyn, NY 11216

It’s been a long time I took my wife on a date. Today is a special day for many couples. I don’t want to disappoint her so I am doing what a gentleman should be doing - getting a flower, chocolate, and a card. 

Love my wife and love everything she does for me. 

Happy Valentine’s Day my love. Let’s make great memories tonight and take lots of pictures together.

I love black & white photos. Something about no-color effect on photos make the subject more refined and polished. 

What do you think? Do you use this feature a lot? With the film cameras, you can purchase black & white film rolls on Amazon. This is one of the reasons why I love using my film camera for black & white photography.

My collection

my two film camera collections. I love them so much. I use Canon most of the times, but Minolta is my favorite one. Some electronic components stopped working so I have to get it serviced. Do you know where I can get it fixed? It’s hard to find a good pace to get it repaired now these days.

I was walking around Best Buy without much plan (sometimes I do this as a stress relief mechanism) Whenever I have time to spend time for myself I like to walk around the mall or big retail stores so I can clear up my head. Today was one of those days. I was so frustrated with the things that happened this past weekend, I needed to cool off little bit. Best Buy had a few interesting items like this one. Fujifilm Instax Mini 9. You prob saw this instant camera or you were at a party where someone brought this camera and shared their photos at that time. 

The camera is pretty good considering the price. It’s only $50. The thing about the instant camera is that you have to continue to purchase film rolls. They aren’t cheap. Similar to printers at home, sometimes cartridges can be more expensive than printer itself. I bought printers a few times because the ink cartridges were more expensive. (Sometimes printers have a brand new cartridge in the box when you get the printer) Still cheaper to get the printer + cartridge than just cartridge alone at a local retail store. 

Anyway instant camera is a great camera to play when you are bored. This is a simple point-and-shoot camera but it’s super catchy and artsy to take photos with. Unlike smartphone cameras, you can print the films and share with your friends right away. (Although you can do that with the airdrop function on iPhones). I say buy the $50 instant camera. It’s a good looking camera with many features.

Driving this wet snowy type of condition isn’t good. This weekend I had an experience of driving 2+ hours in a snowy mountain. I was on my way home from a photography trip that I planned with several photography community guys. We took some nice shots with our analog cameras, but the weather was getting worse throughout the day. The day we went, it snowed a lot! The weather forecast stated that the snow was suppose to stop in the afternoon, but it kept going. We got scared and had to rush home. We really didn’t we were going to make it, but we did. Whew so glad we are home now.

Snowy Days.

It’s been awhile I posted something here. I am getting little lazy about my blog. I will try to be better with it. 

Our area (Northeast) got some snow and the family was stuck at home. It gave me some opportunity to go outside and take some photos. I took the family to nice area. Here are some photos from the snowy days.

Kids had a great time since they had no school and played with us the entire time.

First one is our fireplace. I was putting fire all night. It kept the house warm. We were having a blast - drinking lots of soup, reading, and sharing our stories with each other. This is the best FAMILY time. No cellphone, no tech, just simply enjoying time with one another. 

Then we went out and walked around a local park where we live. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Nobody was around and the park was filled with snow. Trees were covered with white snow that looked like a magazine. 

It was a very sunny day the next morning so snow was melting immediately. I particularly like this photo because it has different contrasts in the image. As you can see on the top of the photo, that the sky is so clear (blue), and I was able to capture the tree shades in the middle. I used my old Canon AE1 camera and just simple regular Fujifilm Fujicolor 200 Speed 24 Exposure 35mm Film.

The next one is a beautiful shot and I am going to try to frame this one in my house. 

Isn’t this gorgeous? What do you think? I absolutely love the view and the sun hiding in the cloud. Look at the clouds! so amazing. 

Anyway let me know what you think and if you like seeing this type of blog. Thanks!

Best Film Camera to purchase in 2019.

What would it be your first choice of film camera when you are surrounded by so many good digital cameras?

Have you considered changing your device because it’s not working as it used to? 

I want to discuss about some of the best SLR cameras you can get right now. 

Even though the old cameras won’t make your photography skills amazing, it sure helps you to practice your photography skills and improve your knowledge on the film camera industry. 

Today I want to focus on this Asahi Pentax K1000 camera. In 2019, you can still get this camera through Amazon. www.amazon.com 

It’s a solid camera that fits for most people (especially the photography students) Easy buttons as shown above and fully manual. Many people tells me that they would keep this one until it dies and they’ll pick one up AGAIN when it dies. You can really tell that this is a workhorse for many SLR camera users.

New Year - new beginning

I’m really excited what’s stored for our family this year. 2019 will be a great year for everyone in the house. 

To celebrate, we went to a local town shopping center, where they had a cool ice skating. It was really fun. Although wifey got sick :/ 

I’m thrilled to pick up my latest new tech gadgets. I went to Best Buy after the holiday mess and got some really cool stuff for very low prices. 

Smart home gadgets like - light bulbs. Instant camera covers to bring everywhere.

Happy New Year!

I’m going out tonight and having a new year party with my friends. They know that I love instant cameras so they told me to bring all of mine. Darn. I have a lot of instant films to buy. 

Happy New Year everyone!

Back Up Film Cameras

I received a pop up ad from a Filmcameraexpert.com guy. In the Facebook website, he mentions that it’s not a bad idea to carry an extra film camera for filming sessions. I couldn’t agree more. There are times when my film camera just dies on me and I miss tons of great shots. I should get one back up camera soon.
