To those of you that shoot on film. How do you store you negatives?

[Matze]

don't know if it's the best method in the long term, but it works for me. I put them in a folder, one after another. I'm a total mess and when I first started taking pictures I just used boxes to throw everything in. a chaos I never got rid. still have 2 boxes full of 35mm negatives that haven't been scanned or used since 10 years.

[Random Matt]

I mainly shoot 6x7 and keep them in sleeve pages.  Sometimes I'm too lazy too put them in there and will just keep them in the sleeve that comes from the lab, these is usually if I don't think I'll do anything with the neg.  I've been keeping them in old 11x14 paper boxes with the contact sheets, the boxes are labeled with the year/project.

This is a shitty way to organize, don't store yours this way.  The best way I've seen is in a binder that closes on all sides with the contact sheet in a sleeve holder and the negs in a sleeve page behind it, very easy to flip through.

edit:
@Matze- Printfile sleeves (that's what I think you have in the pic) are acid-free so it should be archival for the long-term.

Heres are some shots from my trip to florida

[Cadillac Ranch Dressing]

In reference to the film storage question, I do the same shit. I'm also pretty bad when it comes to taking good care of them. Most of my binders end up on the floor or something like that. I need a shelf.


And so this post isn't totally worthless, PHOTOS!

Not sure if anyone cares but here is the first look at the cheap full frame from Nikon. Pretty hyped on this considering this might be under 2k. Going to be a great walk around camera for me. Specs below:








•24.7MP full frame sensor
•Weight: 760g (850g with battery and memory cards), the D800 weights 900g
•3.2" LCD with 921K dot with ambient sensor control
•HDMI output
•Video compression: H264/MPEG-4
•Full HD with 30p, 25p, 24p, HD with 60p, 50p, 30p, 25p
•Viewfinder coverage: 100% for FX , 97% for Dx
•The Nikon D600 will have built-in AF motor
•The body most probably will be weather sealed
•The D600 may not have built-in GPS as initially reported
•ISO range: 100-6400 (with Lo-1 ISO 50 and Hi-2 ISO 25,600)
•39 AF points (with an option of 11 AF points), 9 cross-type AF points
•AF face detection
•Exposure compensation: ±5 EV (same as the D800)
•The D600 will probably use the EN-EL15 rechargeable Li-ion battery
•5 fps (same as the D700, the D800 has 4fps)
•2 SD card slots with Eye-fi support
•Build-in retouching images functionality
•Built-in flash with sync speed of 1/250s
•Two user settings: U1 and U2
•Fn button
•Auto DX crop mode
•In-camera RAW editor
•Built in time-lapse functionality
•Possibly with build-in HDR
•New external battery grip
•To be released this summer
•The D600 will probably not have an internal AF motor, which means it will work only with AF-S lenses (just like the D3200 and D5100)
•The price of the D600 is rumored to be very low - maybe as low as $1500
•Announcement before Photokina (September 2012)
•One or more low-priced f/4 lenses will be announced with the D600. For example, Nikon recently filed a patent for a 24-70mm f/3.5-4.5 full frame lens which seems to be designed for a cheaper FX DSLR body

 woodfriend.blogspot.com is my photo blog if you're keen to check it out. I've definitely been slacking on taking photos as of late. Also, speaking of photography, I'm not too keen on instagram.

Rebel Without A Cause

[RoedGroed]

I have been playing around with HyperSync on my Pocket Wizards lately, but cant seem to get it working properly? Does anybody have any experience with HyperSync on the MiniTT and the Flex TT5?

I have tried googling around, but they are written a little cryptic for a guy not too good at English. So I thought maybe somebody here was able to break it down a little more understandable - especially skateboard related without big studio flashes and so on!

Is anyone still shooting film on Slap? i have a Canon F1 from back in the day and im looking to get a fisheye for it, probably 18mm, around there. Any suggestions that dont cost 600 bucks?

It's been a while, pretty much posting just to post. Don't know how I feel about either of those.

$300. I'm sure there are even bigger bargains, but yeah I'd be on the look out for the older manual focus primes, some of them are a steal these days.

^^^Looks like a dope concert to go to. Jeezy and Gucci would be fun to see live. Hell...I am even a Ross fan too and wouldn't mind seeing him on stage.
