Partly an attempt to keep this thread alive... I've posted this elsewhere on FPN, but I just finiished a restore on a 1929 Parker Duofold Sr. Streamline. I wanted to document it pretty quickly but also go a little outside of my standard plain backgrounds so I just had a bit of fun. Probably a bit too busy but whatthehell. A really great pen picked up for a song on eBay only note from restoration was once again checking in with my patience: it took 2 days to get the section out.

Very nice blog posts! I am into photography myself and willing to take some nice pictures of my few pens soon ;)

 

Everything was well explained for a layman, without going in-depth on the aperture, speed and ISO triangle.

Thank you for your useful post! I envy with your studio. I made one for myself. It works OK but the look is so silly. But I still love my small space. I will improve it to look like yours.

 

Here is my latest photo of pen:

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
