The event was organized on Yelp and was an eclectic group of folks. The idea was hatched last year at Scott Howard of all places and [...]
Film (analog) and the romanticism of vignetting
One of the things that’s obvious with digital when it first came out was the lack of vignetting (unless you were using a really crappy lens or toy camera).
