Beware where you shoot..

 

 

SINGAPORE - Two foreign men were detained and questioned by police at the Bishan MRT depot when they were seen taking photographs of the secured facility on Wednesday (Oct 4) morning.

The Straits Times understands that the two had got on a shuttle bus which ferries personnel into the depot. But at the security gantry, they were found not to have authorised passes for entry.

They wanted to take photos of the place, and had started using their cameras at the gate.

An SMRT spokesman said: "The vigilance of security personnel at Bishan Depot resulted in them approaching two individuals who were seen taking pictures of the train depot.

"The depot is gazetted as a protected place. Our security personnel detained the two suspects and handed them over to the police."

When The Straits Times went to the scene, the two men were seen surrounded by up to 10 police and security personnel. Three patrol cars were at the scene. The two were questioned for about half an hour just before the security gate. Later, they were led into the security guardhouse.

 
 

As of 12.30pm, no arrests had been made.

The Bishan depot has been broken into by vandals in the past. There were two breaches there, out of four vandalism cases involving train depots since 2010.

THE YASHICA DIGIFILM Y35 IS A FILM-DIGITAL HYBRID WITH SWAPPABLE DIGITAL FILM
By Hillary Grigonis — Posted on October 10, 2017 2:03 pm
 
 
 
Since film photography’s re-emergence among enthusiast photographers, manufacturers have been trying to mix the best of film and digital into a single camera, with attempts from digital cameras with built-in printers to the film-digital hybrid Fujifilm SQ10. But classic film company Yashica may have just launched the most unique hybrid camera yet, even as the firm comes out of a ten-year hiatus — the Yashica Digifilm Y35.
 
The Digifilm Y35, teased in September, functions like a film camera with mechanical dials and no LCD screen — and photographers even have to “wind” before shooting. But the Y35 has interchangeable digital guts, or Digifilm. Instead of swapping out film cartridges and paying to get each roll developed, photographers swap out Digifilm cartridges to switch the look of each photo.
 
The Digifilm idea starts with several different “film” options — an ISO1600 high speed with high contrast and more light sensitivity for low light or fast action; a black and white ISO 400 with a retro film style; ISO 200 Ultra Fine with a standard color balance; and 120 format for a 6×6 square image. The company says the system allows for developing more Digifilm types in the future.
 
Yashica doesn’t clarify exactly how the Digifilm works outside of providing “a different photography effect,”  so it’s unclear if each Digifilm might have a sensor inside, if the Digifilm works as a sort of internal filter for a built-in sensor or if the Digifilm applies a digital filter using software. Images are saved to an SD card, not on the Digifilm.
 
What is clear from the tech specs, however, is that the sensor is only 1/3.2 inches, smaller than most point-and-shoots and even smaller than what’s in some smartphones. That CMOS sensor captures 14-megapixel photos and is paired with an f2.8, 35mm lens.
 
The Y35 allows photographers to choose between shutter speeds of 1s, 1/30s, 1/60s, 1/250s and 1/500s using the physical controls at the top of the camera. While the camera sports a classic Yashica look, the body is constructed from plastic and made to look metallic. With the lens, the camera measures 4.3 by 2.5 by 1.1 inches.
 
The Y35’s unusual design offers a similar experience to shooting with film without the ability to review the shot, with manual controls, an optical viewfinder, and even swapping film looks. But, unlike shooting actual film, the photographer ends up with digital files with no need to actually develop a roll of film.
 
The Yashica Digifilm Y35 is launching on Kickstarter and earned full funding in only four hours. Backers can pick up the camera with a single Digifilm pack for about $125, or with four film packs for $171. If the remainder of the development process is successful, Yashica expects to start shipping the cameras in April 2018.
