I know it's OT but I feel there is a community here and I want to share:

I produced this music video that is very timely which I am trying to push far and wide, so please share the link:

Shameless self-promotion I know but if anyone is in the Kingston Ontario area I have a screening this Tuesday. Below is a blurb that they put together. I don't know much about location except that it is somewhere on Queen's University campus. And the blurb is not entirely correct with it's emphasis ...

The Nikon 8x Superzoom seems to be a great fit and can handle all the asa variations but it is never mentioned as being considered a compact camera, anyone shooting with this guy? Is it a metal tank?


Yes, a metal tank, and they are fantastic. I own 3. My favourite camera at the moment for ...

Rick, is the featured music all originally composed by the artists?

I have had 3 different bands over the years, all jazz-ish, and they either improvise cold off the floor as the films screen or sometimes they see the films in advance, so are a little more prepared but it's still largely improv ...

I have been doing something similar with the Super 8 Circus here in Toronto for the past 8 years. We project about 20 super 8 films with a live band playing along. This year it will be held on March 13.

Shooting film in a 48 hour contest is insane. Hats off to you for having the guts, and then pulling it off.
Rick

Wow. I am dying to see what I shot for that as it might have turned out very cool. Had given up. anxious to see it.

Thanks everyone, it appears that it is indeed stuck open. I was considering selling it to someone who definitely needs a working aperture. I don't mind keeping it as I would use it in extreme low-light when I'd be wide open anyway.

I have a Canon 310 XL and the aperture might be stuck wide open. I open the film compartment and with no film loaded look through the gate as I run it.
