an apartment building's garage lit up at night by one light, which is also causing an enormous lens flare in the top-center of the frame. it's a great picture otherwise.
reddit didn't like this one probably because of the fuckoff massive lens flare, but they're all stuck up leica purists anyway. i use old ass russian equipment, get over yourselves.

Assorted cameras on a brown background. On the rear left is a blue Sprocket Rocket panoramic camera. Alongside it is a 1950s medium format folding camera, the Proud Chrome Six III, and in the foreground is an Olympus Pen E-PL3 digital camera fitted with an Industar 69 28mm f2.8 lens from a Chaika II half-frame camera.
Fingers crossed, tomorrow we're heading for the beach. So I'm taking the Proud Chrome Six III (Harman Phoenix I), the Sprocket Rocket (a half-used roll of Lomography 100 that was in the Zenit 11 for the #CrappyCommieCameraParty) and the Industar 69 28mm on an Olympus Pen E-PL3.

A color photo taken with a 70s Russian half frame Chaika camera. There are 2 images separated by a black vertical bar. Both images are of a the metal skeleton of a very old shipwreck on a beach just around sunset. There are people taking pictures around the wreck.

More from that roll of Fuji color and the Chaika. Half frame forever. #halfframe #believeinfilm #staybrokeshootfilm #crappycommiecameraparty #photography #analogphotography #chaika #35mm #oregoncoast #scape #35mmfilm
A film photograph taken with a chaika II early 70s Soviet camera. It’s a half frame camera so there are 2 photos next to each other with a black bar between them. The photo is of people on the beach on a cold foggy Oregon evening. There’s red light at the bottom & the left photo looks torn in the center.
Got more film back😁 half frame glory and check that light leak. I dropped it and the back opened but it only added to the charm. #firstoftheroll #photography #chaika #halfframe #believeinfilm #crappycommiecameraparty #staybrokeshootfilm #35mm #lightleak #oregoncoast

Missed the #CrappyCommieCameraParty #shittyCameraChallenge by dragging my feet processing this roll!
This is a fun camera.

#ArtAdventCalendar 24/24 finishing out the year with one of my favorite photos of 2025, my granddaughter, taken with my #half-frame Chaika that made my 2025 bright. Merry winter holidays to all and to all a good night! #believeinfilm #crappycommiecameraparty #chaika #analogphotography #photography
Under-exposed image with a line across it.
2/2: The not so good news. One of several shots that show a line across the image, not sure whether it's light ingress, a scratch on the film, or something shutter related. I don't use a lens hood but I don't think it's flare. Any ideas?

2 half frame photos next to each other - on the left is a very tall suspension bridge over a wide river (its the Megler bridge over the Columbia River in Astoria, Oregon) and on the right is a shot of a mysterious concrete structure in the river. Both photos are soft, dreamy and slightly overexposed in early morning light.

Well, I'm months late to the #CrappyCommieCameraParty challenge and all that - the wall fell, the revolution is over, and the oligarchs now reign. But a few shots from the Cosmic Symbol have made it through the queue, so they might as well be shared for the enjoyment of the People.

Shitty Commie Camera shots from a Belomo Vilia. I didn't know I had these. This is what happens when you have a big backlog of undeveloped film! Probably took these around 2023.

I also have a collection of shitty cameras thanks to @papashittycams.bsky.social being a terrible influence on me and "encouraging" me to buy them with his #CrappyCommieCameraparty and #ShittyCameraChallenge and web store where I bought this shirt and several others.

Two images forming a diptych with a border between them. On the left is an expanse of river under cloudy skies. On the right is a bull elk on the side of the road. This was taken with a vintage Russian film camera and the images are a little out of focus and hazy.
Have I mentioned how much I love the dreamlike juxtapositions the half-frame camera creates? Diptychs forever! This one gives such a string sense of place - 2 images to say, this is what it's like here. There's no way to know which two images are going to end up […]

A fully loaded Cherry blossom tree fills most of the frame. It is the one outside my friend's place in Hale St, and part of his front fence can be seen in the bottom right of the frame. A little of the cloudy sky (and some branches from a tree across the intersection) can be seen in the background. Part of the cherry blossom tree's trunk is visible at the bottom, but its branches are awash with small, pink flowers.
Photo taken in Seymour Square showing one of the flowerbeds awash with colour. The grass between me and the flowerbed is in shadow from the trees framing the shot. In the background beyond is a fence and two vehicles parked in opposite directions on either side of Seymour Street. Part of the local Council building can be seen in the distance.
Deep pink (almost maroon in shade) magnolia blossoms from the tree at my front gate. Out of focus, in the background, is the concrete block fence that separates 91B's driveway from number 93. The house at 93 can be seen behind the fence. Foliage from other shrubs in my driveway can also be seen in the photo.
The same cherry blossom tree in Hale Street, but pink blossoms are blooming further down the trunk. In the background (out of focus), is a white ute (pronounced "yoot")/pickup truck and a pink brick flat (or townhouse).

Though not finished/developed before the end of the #CrappyCommieCameraParty, I can now show off some of the photos from the Kiev 19. I'm glad that little tacker followed me home 😊
Congratulations to @tankarchives.bsky.social on a well-deserved win.

Odds and sods shot on my FED-4 with the Jupiter 8 lens. Film used was Ilford XP2. Thought this roll was gonna be junk because I opened the camera up mid-roll because I forgot I had it loaded 😅

I think that if they were taken during the Crappy Commie Camera Party, then they should certainly count as valid entries (especially since I dropped my last few films off at the lab this morning).

As befitting the @shittychallenge.bsky.social here are the results of me trying to use my Jupiter 11 lens on my FED-4. It's either vey soft or can't focus to infinity and somehow, it suffers from light leaks! More testing required!
