UPDATE: My awesome camera is now dead

Posted 2023-10-16 04:46:00 | Views: 1,111
I loved using the Nikon Lite Touch AF camera and had many positive experiences with it. But, a huge problem started happening with the shutter— it's now stuck. When ever I turn on the camera, everything seems normal, and sometimes it is... But a growing problem keeps happening. The aperture blades are jammed, causing the camera to shut off every time I tried to take a photo.

I attempted to fix the aperture blades, but it quickly became apparent that my Macgyver skills weren't enough for this repair. This photo marks the moment I realized my fix had come to an end. This camera is now dead.
Nikon Lite Touch AF Update
My awesome camera is now totally broken.
Buy another one?
It's more expensive now so probably no. Might try to find something else cheaper.
I lost about two rolls of film before I attempted my last ditch effort to fix it.

Partial lunar eclipse on Film

Partial lunar eclipse on Film
As I pulled out the roll from my development tank I didn't think I had anything. Darn, it looked  overexposed. I almost didn't even scan the negatives. But I did, and here is what I got.  It's not perfect but I got it and I got it on film!

Shot on Kodak Ektar 100 film using my Nikon F6 w/ the Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6 D ED lens. In cloudy skies from Miami Florida -  October 14 2023 around 1:30 PM.
The eclipse isn't visible in this one but I love how it looks. Oh how wonderful the return of Jesus Christ shall be.

Dark storm clouds cover half the sky as the last streaks of sun light hits the blue sky as the sun sets. Captured on film, Kodak Portra 400 on the Nikon F80s with the Voigtlander Ultron 40mm f/2 lens.
