Obsidian Urbex Photography

I recently picked up a subminiature 16mm film camera. A 1970s or 1980s Kiev-30, manufactured at the Arsenal plant in #Ukraine️. Sadly, it had several light leaks in the test roll photos.

I dismantled and repaired this tiny camera, and wrote a blog article about my experiences taking apart this tiny Soviet era camera.

Bodging #TheWrongFilm into #BoxBrownie cameras.

The first pic was 120 #MediumFormat into a #BrownieSix16. Think it not fitting the 616 spools properly is how the #LightLeak happened to create a #DoubleExposure with the backing paper.

The rest are #35mm with pound coin spacers, and shooting the whole film for the widescreen #SprocketHole look. Pics 2 & 4 were on ancient #Paterson #Acupan800 and the dev was guesstimated, hence the grain.

A black and white photo of ghostly leafless tree silhouettes. Only the trees are visible (and the slight shadowy hint of ground) as the picture has been double exposed with the backing paper from the film. This also means there are numbers visible on three rows along with circles made from dots -- used to manually align the film with old cameras. The left third of the picture is even more diffused than the rest, the right fifth a little lighter, bracketing the two trees in the centre.
Black and white photo on film showing the sprocket holes. It looks upwards towards a horizon littered with clumps of trees. Near the middle is the shape of an old house. The film is very grainy and overall the picture is dark with very little shading.
A black and white photo, scanned to include the sprocket holes (with the picture overlapping them). From the left to about the centre is an old stone bridge with 4 arches visible. There are also two small columns with pointed tops within the wall of it on the left On the right of the bridge a low lying hill is visible, with a nearby tree bordering from the very left edge.
A black and white film photo on which the sprocket holes are visible. The picture is very grainy with some artefacts and damage making it look much older than it really is. Overall it is very dark, on the left are skeletal trees, on the right deeper more dark woodland. in the middle is a gate over a road that is also a miniature castle. It is almost Disney-like in appearance, but in a very abandoned and definitely haunted way. It has three round crenelated parapet towers. On each side of the arch over the road there are hollow-eye-windows that it would be unwise to spend too long looking at lest your soul be shredded and your nights forevermore broken by randomly waking. Screaming. Anyhoo, IIRC the owners have renovated it and it's now an AirBnB.
