Black and white Infrared photo of a palm tree at Seymour Square. The sky is jet black, leaves are white/grey (depending on whether they are in sunlight or shadow), and the tree trunk is a darker grey. Taken around 11am-ish.

Tried the variable IR filter on the Sony Mavica MVC-FD83 this morning after bible study. Took a little processing to bring out the leaves and remove some of the digital noise from the sky, but the bones of the photo promised quite a striking shot. #ShittyCameraChallenge #Floppydisksquad

A colour photo of an icy path in an otherwise green field on a sunny day. The path is white with ice and leads to three trees in the distance, a brown hedgerow leads from right of frame into the distance.

I did not intend to start a collection (two is not a collection), but the eBay seller sent the wrong camera at first and I was just like "you know what, I'll buy it." Sadly the FD-88's menu control is broken and so far a rusty screw is preventing me from fixing it. #mavica #ShittyCameraChallenge #FloppyDiskSquad Them three broken images.

ty Keith! I have been in it since 2022 though sadly the Mastodon post I made with the tag first is broken now, and my pre-server migration account needs to be deleted. Glad I found this for posterity first; happy to be back on #FloppyDiskSquad 😎

🤣 ... Welcome to the #FloppyDiskSquad!!

Two floppy disks propped up on a keyboard, on top of a large laptop dock. You can't see it, but inside the dock, there's another dock docked inside and docked in that dock there's the laptop -- my trusty #D630 .

How I remind myself to study my #college notes :D

#FloppyDiskSquad #floppyDisk #school

The floppy drive!

A character special device for the drive appears at `/dev/disk/usb/1/0/raw`. Here I have a hexdump of the first 16×10 bytes of the disk I inserted (the GCDC disk in my other post). I tried multiple times, and would hear the typical floppy spindle moaning noise each time. I streamed the first 512 bytes of `raw` into the file command, and it identified it as a DOS/MBR boot sector, which makes sense to me. So, it seems to work in Haiku but with no proper userspace support (other than this char special file)? Gonna keep searching. Just glad Haiku can operate the drive.

I got the #floppy drive for my Dell #D630 !

First try booting the Windows 98 boot disk in my other post failed due to an I/O error, but all other attempts have worked (it booted up :O ).

#HaikuOS doesn't work well with it right now. Research turned up the […]

Floppy disks! 3.5". There are some sitting in a container on the dresser. HAND REVEAL o.O

Picked up some #‌‌​floppyDisk s at a #garageSale for a buck!

I also bought a floppy drive for my trusty Dell #D630 laptop's module bay. I'll be taking class notes on these... or at least backing my notes up to them so the drive doesn't make too much noise […]

Sony Mavica Floppy Disk Camera and the Shitty Camera Challenge If you thought film was nostalgic, you will certainly get a kick out of a Mavica Floppy Disk camera, though whether you will get a keeper photograph or not, we can’t make any promises …

And of course, in 2023 the #FloppyDiskSquad got a mention in 35mmc ...

Somewhat grainy picture of a warehouse's bathroom. It appears to be stuck in time with an old water fountain, wood paneled walls, and walls with peeling wallpaper. The only light is from the Mavica's flash, lending the picture a spooky quality.

I shot this at an artists' market last weekend. It's a spooky looking room, and the way the #Mavica pictures look adds to that, but it felt oddly nostalgic.

I didn’t get any pictures I’m especially happy with but shooting the #mavica in the forest today was a lot of fun! It’s hard to find color out there during this time of year.

#floppydisksquad #shittycamerachallenge

Nice! When you post what I'm sure will be wonderful photos, can you tag them #FloppyDiskSquad as well as ShittyCameraChallenge, please? It's always nice to welcome new members.

Welcome to the #FloppyDiskSquad

I was shocked at the quality for its era. Though I did get a lot of “is that a video camera” questions 😂

Ahem! Excuse me What! What about the #FloppyDiskSquad? 😉

Bonus points for the #FloppyDiskSquad.
