Hai guyz, I need help.What is the problem with this? I have never heard of digital kickback.
I've been shooting at night, because the colors and long exposures make the picture look cool enough that it covers up for the fact that I can't think of anything worth taking a picture of for the life of me lately.
Anyway, I am running into what I think is digital kickback:

Digital kickback, as was briefly explained to me in a camera shop once upon a time, is when you have your shutter open and light reflects off of the sensors and bounces back onto the glass, fucking with your picture. I'm not a huge fan of the reflection of the light off of my filter and lens (the two overlapping dots on the right of the picture, and admittedly have no idea what to do to fix / prevent it.

fucking so complicated trying to adjust gold and orangey colours in photoshop... even though i have the slide right in front of me, no amount of fidgeting gets close to capturing the colours accurately. inner rings should be a lot more orange / red, and the outer rings should be more gold / yellow...

I'm thinking about buying a holga, but i'm not sure yet.
Matze, do you know what the biggest difference is between a lomo and a holga?
you know, i couldnt stomach more than 1 minute of that little video, but generally i agree with warren / ghostbusters...
if you really want to do lomo / holga style stuff, why not just buy a good camera and then learn how to make your pictures look like the lomo / holga style? filters, gels, cross-processing, pushing and pulling, double exposures, etc. then you still have the option of taking good pictures when (or if) you want to. some really, really good film cameras (whether 35mm or medium format) can be bought at such ridiculously cheap prices these days, that it doesnt make sense to spend money on a plastic piece of crap camera with which your results will always be more serendipitous (accidental) than intentional. some of you dudes here have bought killer cameras in the last month or so; how are you finding it so far?
randozzi will kill me for buying this plastic crap of halfframe slr. if it's still gonna at 20 euro on sunday, then i got a new toy.

im looking into lomo because im just way too lazy to learn all there is to the world of photography.... its something i really appreciate but can never bring myself to putting all the time and effort needed to take really amazing photographs.... if i can get something which takes great looking photos simply while giving me the chance to do little tweaks and experimentation, thats great, hence lomography.... plus getting into digital photography seems to be a very big investment (body, lens, lights, etc), and im not ready to put that kind of money into something im not sure i want to commit to fully....
maybe if i like film photography enough, maybe ill take up digital someday.... and nothing worse than having a thousand dollar digital camera stolen....
i agree, but disagree. lomo is going back to the beginnings, there is no need in hightech equipement. you don't have to take a light meter and or a 500 megapixel cam to take good pics. and yes, the accidental thing is something great. i mean, i love to have control of something to a certain degree (i use my canon slr only on manual), but what i learned by accident is not explained in any photo books ... i mean, the lomographic society is making prices for the cameras that are way too high. 200 bucks for a lomo lca, when you can buy a regular compact camera for 10 euros? hello? there is close to no difference.
in the end of the day, lomography is a good and interresting way to learn things about analog photography, but can be used on an advanced level as ben said.

i haven't had a look at my bank account, but i got about 400-500 dollars in the end of january to spend on a medium format camera ... my mom gave me 140, i have about 150 right now, so another 100 bucks saving and i'm in. i had a look on american ebay today and shit is much cheaper then here. you get a mamiya rb67 complete with shipping for a lil over 300 dollar, in germany it's close to 700.
but i'm not sure what i gonna take, i know ben has a fuji that is pretty good, but i want a 6x6 or 6x7. and that means a bronica sq vs. a mamiya, because everything thing else seems too expensive. any suggestions?
Bronica SQ system
Formats? Oh yeah, 6x6, 6x4.5, 35mm, 35mm panos(3 frames long i think) and polaroid.
Lenses are cheap, but still sharp and contrasty. 50mm/80mm/150mm can all be purchased of KEH.com for under 200 in good condition.
The bodies are great, cheap, durable, small and light. You can do double exposures, lock the lens open, sync at all speeds and have a bulb mode. You can get metered view finders, though a nice hand held meter is always preferable.
For a perfect setup you are looking at like 250-400us. As for resale, they have already hit rock bottom, you can't go too wrong. The camera will also last you for the rest of the life of film. Get it.

Rad. I'm thinking I might invest my Christmas money in one just cause even though I figure I'm really inexperienced with film to be fucking around with MF the thing will be a tank and like Ghostbusters said it'll last as long as film does.
i came up on a bronny kit that included a 35mm ps 80mm waist level finer and a prism finder for under 500us. ive straight dropped the body onto cement and it still works like new and the 35mm is pretty sharp aswellYou are talking about the PS 35mm fisheye? You could sell it for over 1000us. I purchased mine off Keh more than a year ago for 999us and then sold it recently for 1300us. Profit even after a few hits.
(http://i41.tinypic.com/dhd8xe.jpg)It is all the same. Digital will never look as good as film. But get some good lenses and you are golden.
I know the action is far away but I wanted to capture the environment. This is a composite of like 6 photos using the kit lens on an XTi.
So anyone else shoot strictly digital? I just bought a Nikon D90 over my Canon XTi and wondering if people have preferences on camera brands. I struggled so hard on getting this Nikon and now that I have it, so many Canon heads are telling me I wasted my money. I pretty much bought this over the Canon 40D and could not afford a full frame like a Mark II or a regular 5D.

So anyone else shoot strictly digital? I just bought a Nikon D90 over my Canon XTi and wondering if people have preferences on camera brands. I struggled so hard on getting this Nikon and now that I have it, so many Canon heads are telling me I wasted my money. I pretty much bought this over the Canon 40D and could not afford a full frame like a Mark II or a regular 5D.
Does anyone know what kind of cameras skate photographers use? I actually got the impression that a lot of them use Nikons like Morford and even Reda. I think Atiba uses Canons but I could be wrong.Atiba has been shooting a lot of stuff on some crazy expensive digital meduim format, i think its a Hassleblad

Christmas present. I know it's a mid level SLR but for the price I'm stoked. Any tips and tricks from someone with experience is appreciated.
since sebastian toombs did the internet suicide its to us to keep this topic alive.same, in a week or two i'll hopefully have developed 10 rolls. i'll be sure to post up some stuff!
i think i have new stuff to post in two weeks, shot 3-4 films in the last weeks. it's pretty fucked to go outside for 1.5 hours to shot, when it's minus 5°c/plus 23°f. i still did. horrrray.

the first black and whit portrait makes me want to go out and shot ... eh? yeah, it's a real beauty.i use a canon t70. its a 35mm from the 80s i think. for film i usually just use kodak 400 tx i think
rest of the stuff from alienlurk and professional is good looking too.
edit: lurkshop, what kind of camera do you have? which film? i'm not in a single photography forum or there is somebody around me who can show me stuff, so don't matter if i ask stupid questions. gnars all around.

found out today, that there were still 2 developed rolls at the shop that i didn't catch before the holidays. holga and minolta afc, just stuff the cameras i always have in my bag on a regular base. point and shoot.
edit: lurkshop, i've seen these canon t cameras on ebay before, but thought they were some bullshit cheap cameras. but they got the better fd lenses and the t90 has even a x-sync of 250, which is pretty amazing for a canon.

hey everyone , so im having troubles with my camera. whenever i try to upload images onto my computer they come out distorted and it only happens on my computerwhat camera are you using and what program are you uploading with? if its not on your camera, it looks like some sort of communication bobo. try exploring your camera through my computer or whatever, and copying them to your desktop.
anyone have experience with this kind of thing?

don't really have that much good skating on there right now, its actually mostly wildlife, but i'm hoping to change that soon
And with any luck I should have some stuff to contribute to this thread again in a couple of weeks. I finally have a scanner around and should start shooting more since exams are over.
Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting a Holga...what kind of holga do you use? I understannd that there are ones that shoot medium format, but also ones that shoot on regular (what is it, 35 mm?) film, of course I guess medium format would look smoother, but then again finding a place to develope it for affordable prices could be difficult. Then theres the option glass or plastic lense, I'm leaning towards plastic lense, I heard the glass one makes sharper images and has even darker corners, but I think I like the a bit blurred, smooth look of the plastic ones...I would just like to know what kind of Holga you guys are using and why...
Also they sell a Diane lomo, whats the difference picture-wise?
Sorry, I dont know much about these kinds of cameras, I just like the look of holga pics, any help would be appreciated!!
I think I'm gonna pick up my analogue cam again. I got this awesome old rolleiflex slr form my dad, with a couple of lenses as well, and I'd love to shoot with it, but the exposuremeter is broken and I tried getting it fixed, but I've been told that the needed parts are not available anymore...Maybe I'll still pick it up and use an external thing...it's supposed to be a good camera according to my dad...

This will seem like a dumb question, but here we go...Does anybody know how the Nikon DSLR cameras are categorized? I've been using a d70 for a while, and would really like to upgrade, but cant figure out what the hell would be the logical step up (either a D90 or something that shoots CMOS or a bigger sensor?) All their numbers make no sense, so I'm having trouble deciding. I ideally want to have a few more megapixels (6 isnt cutting it anymore for prints) and possibly a camera with a better sensor. Any suggestions?

(http://misterfongstarr.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/obsession-continues-1.jpg?w=1200)Did you get it in a shop or on the internet ? Because I'm also looking for a camera like that. I love the style of the photos and carrying my oversized digital Eos 30D isn't very practical when taking city photos or whatever
Just got this over the weekend. Kind of can't wait to mess with this. Just need some film.
I got it off Craigslist from this old rocker that shot photos back in the days. It was in pristine condition and aside from the case, almost looks brand new. Ebay has a lot of the Canonets for sale and most aren't going for a ridiculous pricing. Still Craigslist might be best just cause you can talk them down a little and see the camera in person.I'll look around. I could use some more information about the camera itself though.
I just got a new battery and some film yesterday. Only shot 2 pictures and have about 34 left to complete. Warning for those who want to get a Canonet. There has been issues with the battery with it which effects the metering on the exposure setting. Some say they come out under exposed so you might have to adjust accordingly. I have been shooting all my photos a lot brighter just in case. I'll post up some pics when I get them scanned.
These days the sensors on digital cameras are really good, to the point where everything you shoot looks like its a crisp color photo shot on 100iso film. Rangefinders are dope, but there's a certain simplicity with a point and shoot thats really appealing when it comes to a compact camera. If anyone else is looking for a good compact film camera, I'd check out the Nikon 35ti. In essence, it's a true rangefinder, but it has a fixed 35mm lens. You can manually adjust the aperture and focus via the scale on the top of the camera. I use it, and I am very pleased with it. Also Lauwie, if you want "old school" style photos, pick up a Nikon FM-2 or Canon AE-1 and try messing around with faster films. Something like Fujicolor 800 or 1600 or Ilford Delta 3200 Black/White will give you a grainier photo, and an antiqued feel. You can make amazing photos with all 3 of those cameras, and the your photos will have that end result you desire.I'll look around.

I want a film camera that makes "old school" looking photos to say it in a lame way. I like my digital camera, but all the pictures look a bit too "clean" if you know what I mean. And with a canonet for instance, can you do the same things you can do with a new digital camera ? change the shutter and diaphragm and stuff like that. (don't crucify me if it's a stupid question, I'm just a noob looking for information) I can work with the new digital cameras quite well, but I never learned anything about older cameras in school or something
EDIT: just went through all the basic information, nevermind about that. The cameras you find on ebay are hella cheap, but still, would it be a good investment photo quality-wise ? I may be getting too stoked too soon
Those Nikon 35ti's are super god damn expensive. I was looking into that camera until the price was higher then I wanted to spend.Forget eBay, if you want legit camera gear that's guaranteed, go to keh.com. You'll find a bigger selection for way cheaper, probably in better condition as well. I bought mine on Craigslist for $200, worth every fucking penny though. The black one is the 28ti, which has a slightly wider 28mm lens and an option slide control to turn the flash from off, auto, and on. And thank you very much Señor Fongstarr, you shoot some damn good photos yourself.
Check out e-bay auctions on them. The damn manual is expensive for christ sake.

Bay To Breakers:I always want to do that to my black and white photos, put one part in colour but I do not know how to do it.

I need some help. I just received my canonet 28 in the mail and it's ready to go, the only thing is that there's no mercury battery in it. I've read a manual and the battery they show as an example looks like a regular flat round battery you'd find everywhere. I'm not at all sure if it's the right one, so I'm not gonna put it in yet. Can someone tell me what kind of battery I can use and where to get it ?

The ISO is insane on that camera...hence why there is no built in flash. Take some night shots and test it out that way and I am sure you won't be disappointed.

If you want to get a DSLR, get a Canon Rebel T2i. I think it is the best beginner camera in the market. I've played with the Nikon D5000 (Nikon competitor) and was unimpressed with it. The T2i is a great camera and just after that, invest in some lenses and you should be good to go.
I know the feeling though with the no funds thing. It can be tough, but just save or rob some fools and you'll get your camera sooner then you think.

i'm on the verge of getting a T2i. really really want one. i'm interested in it for bumping up my photo work, but also interested in the high speed video capabilities (which not too many digital cameras have). higher frame rates that is
is there another Canon that's above the T2i that has more stuff to make it worth spending the money, or is the T2 pretty much all you need?

Mindblowingly good pics in this thread.
Kudos to Matze, Loophole, Snickers dude, Derk the Jerk, Mooley and all the guys I forgot (almost forgot Chuck D). Yeah, Fongstarr to.
I started taking my first photos ever like two months ago, so this is all a bit new, but I've been trying to chug down as much info as I can.
However, I have a few questions to the guys mentioned, if you'd take the time to answer 'em.
Right now I'm only shooting film, but I'm uncertain how much I should edit the photos. I have two rules. Color stays color, and B&W is B&W (obviously), and no croping. But I must admit that I do use curves, levels, some brightness contrast, adjustment layers (selective colors) and stuff like that. I'm uncertain though if I really need to adjust the photos that much, or if I feel like I need to use all these tools I have in front of me. Also unccertain about my calibration-
Registered on flickr and threw out some random test photos (original and edits), hoping you guys would mention if you found the editing to be unnecessary. http://www.flickr.com/photos/danskjaeve/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/danskjaeve/)
I'd want to be able to do as little as possible eventualy. Could some of you guys mention what sort of editing you do to your photos? I know some of you mentioned it before, but would be nice if you could do it again. I'm also curious as to what you do to your digitals fongstarr?
And sometimes you guys have blue, yellow, red-toned photos. Is it the film, filter, lighting or editing that creates this effect?
Sorry for the rambling, but hopefully that'll be all for a while
the bronica sq-a seems nice. there are also mamyia press and fuji 645 models ( http://www.dantestella.com/technical/ga645.html (http://www.dantestella.com/technical/ga645.html)) that are lighter and more easy to use.
I'm using a hasselblad 500cm and I have to say it's wonderful camera, especially with a 150mm on it. but I'm mostly into taking portraits and other stuff, that doesn't move quickly.
For people that shot digital....more notably Nikon. New Nikon D90 replacement coming out in September. They are trying to compete with the Canon 7D. So far, here are the stats:I shoot digital with the Nikon D300s, which is Nikon's current competition to the 7D. I don't think I'll be purchasing anything digital until I can afford a full frame Nikon DSLR. I'm hoping there's going to be a successor to the D700 with 1080HD.
* 16MP DX sensor
* same noise performance like the D700!
* full HD
* 8p/s
* new video AF and performance
* parts of the body will be aluminium
Hopefully the HD video is a higher frame rate then the what Nikon has. If that is the case, then they'll finally be back in the game. Plus they are unveiling the new automatic focus with the camera that is a first.
This photo of my friend Goof Troop is obviously blurry, but there's something about the sketchiness that I kinda like.
Also, look at the left, there's an obvious error in my camera, but I don't really know what it is, it shows on more photos, does anyone know what the problem is ? As long as it won't get worse or damage my camera I don't really care, because it kinda gives a cool vibe in my opinion (again)

Thanks dude! When I had my Pentax, which was actually my first 35mm SLR, I always used a 50mm. Pretty standard lens, I guess I was too lazy to buy anything more because I knew I wouldn't be on the Pentax program for too long. I sold it off a while ago to make room for my Fm2n which is easily my favorite 35mm camera.
The Pentax was a good thing to jump into shooting film for the first time with because by default (there is a full manual mode) it's an aperture priority camera. Do you have one? Or were you thinking of buying one? Nikon > Pentax...... haha.
Mooley, that was me for sure! Derk is a rad guy and hooked me up with a gallery on there and then asked me to become a park of the site for good. We're trying to get an actual online mag to go with the site for September so that should be pretty cool. Thanks mayne.
i picked one up, basically near-mint, at a yard sale for 5 bucks. attached was a kind of iffy-looking 50mm pancake lens, so i'm just trying to get an idea of what some folks have slapped on theirs if/when i decide to change it out. thanks for the response man.Expand QuoteExpand Quotereally enjoyed paging through your flickr, man.? noted that you use a pentax me super for some of my favorites, can i ask what kind of a lens you typically have on it?Expand QuoteDidn't even know this thread existed.

Thanks dude! When I had my Pentax, which was actually my first 35mm SLR, I always used a 50mm. Pretty standard lens, I guess I was too lazy to buy anything more because I knew I wouldn't be on the Pentax program for too long. I sold it off a while ago to make room for my Fm2n which is easily my favorite 35mm camera.

I do skate photography a LOT. It actually could potentially turn into a career soon... if I get a deal with this mag out of Philly and my bro's underground board company sponsor.
Just a few of my better ones. I fucking love skate photog.

sorry to say that bro, but you're far away from being a photographer who earns money with it. the only good thing is that you don't do buttshots and you catch the right moment, but for the rest ...

skwisgaar, gettin' a little money to shoot pics doesn't make you a good photographer, neither does having a good setup. you're lacking, it's gonna be tough to admit it - i know i wasn't able to when i was, but it's something you'll have to face.I never said it made me a good photographer.

Haha, honestly, me and my bro's boy Dave, the guy doing the BS Tail is the easiest skater I've ever taken pictures of. That was first try. He does everything first try, pretty much. There's only been one instance where it was like... 3 tries then he finally got it on some trick. Thanks, man. It feels good to also be encouraged, along with constructive criticism. I'm definitely limited with what I can do without a proper fisheye (I have one but it's my brother's and it doesn't even fit the camera. It's for video cameras and it ended up not even fitting on that, so we just tape it on shit. It works out, though haha).

i really do understand the point. i think, that it?s also easier to take pictures with better skateboarders, it?s tiring to shoot a backtail on a curb 5 times until someone gets it right. and its even harder without a fisheye or wideangle or even a dslr. still, it seems to me that you?re lacking some basic principles of angles and stuff. i?m not trying to say that i?m better or anything, i?m in this thing for about as long as you are, its just that there are some rules to follow. some of the pictures you?ve taken aren?t bad from a technical point of view, but they could?ve been a lot better. but you?ll learn. and i?d be really stoked to get the chance to make money with it, it will surely motivate you a lot. props for that. i hope it will work out for you. for me, it?s just a really neat hobby, that seems to grow on me everytime i grab my camera, just like skateboarding did 8 years ago. and that just feels awesome as hell.

This idea may not find much popularity on the Slap boards, but I think some of you may find it interesting...i remember that interview, real good one. it's tough to say what makes a good photograph because there's so much ambiguity- a set up photograph can be bad or good, a nostalgic photograph can be bad or good. but for me hdr is always bad for several reasons but i can't be arsed to get into it right now
". . . . I should try to tell, in a straightforward way, plain stories, so that I will try to get away from mazes, from mirrors, from daggers, from tigers, because all of those things now grow a bit of a bore to me. So that I will try to write a book, a book so good that nobody will think I have written it. I would write a book - I won't say in somebody else's style - but in the style of anybody else."
-Jorge Luis Borges
I find this relative to photography and the direction in which new technology may be taking it. Personally, the spectacle of technology has grown a bit of a bore to me. I'm not really interested in what computers can do. I don't really like skate photography. Some of it is interesting; I like Ed Templeton's Canon AE-1 stuff, if that's considered skate photography, but most skate photos are "bring the studio to the spot" shots that are flat, over-saturated, and poorly layer masked. As photographs, they are not that compelling. As for HDR... to each his/her own, but I really think it looks terrible. I'm not trying to start shit, just maybe a discussion.
Here's an excerpt from an interview that can be read here... http://jmcolberg.com/weblog/extended/archives/a_conversation_with_michael_lundgren/ (http://jmcolberg.com/weblog/extended/archives/a_conversation_with_michael_lundgren/)
JC: A lot of photographers are trying to push the boundaries of what photography actually is, and I do sense a bit of that in your work. Is this something you are interested in?
ML: Yes and No. I?m simply trying to understand photography, to make work that deals with photographic formalism, an often-misunderstood idea. Formalism is not just about the way content is arranged; it is a means of relating medium specificity to a larger impulse. Dealing with the medium in a simple way is enough for me. The word radical comes from the Latin ?radix?, meaning root. Much contemporary work is disconnected to the trace of history, disjointed from the essential paradox of photography. Instead it becomes based on technological possibilities and the spectacle of the subject, not on a primary understanding of the medium. Photography?s future is in peril. New technology has made the medium more democratic, but a nuanced understanding of the inherent dialectic in photography is at the risk of being lost or disregarded. In the end, I hope that my work is in conversation with a lineage and that my part in that conversation moves picture-making forward.
Again, this is not an attack, and I understand that most people think my photographs and photographs that I find interesting are boring.
I think that the advent of digital photography and especially the super cameras that are being made today have made photography bland because there are no more problems. People no longer have to overcome the basic problems of and therefore never think about exposure, focus, shutter speed vs aperture etc because their camera does it all for them. This is making the act of photography much less of a craft. I've been going to the darkroom to make prints and it's not easy to accept that you have taken an imperfect photograph after putting work into it. Many people simply aren't willing to put actual work and thought into the art of photography any more. In my estimation at least...this is why im glad i only have a film slr. photography always sparked my interest because the images that drew me in had little niches that made them unique. film allows for careful manipulation and strategy in order to create a certain quality to the prints. digital, while more practical and faster, takes away the fun of the process.
just got my first roll of slide film developed and let me just say thats its fucking awesome!!!
yeah im not knocking digital. it also takes skill and a careful eye to not produce bullshit. its just a totally different animal. i think even if one is into digital it is good to learn on film.Expand Quotejust got my first roll of slide film developed and let me just say thats its fucking awesome!!![close]
Post them up!
I agree with modern day photography being more practical then it used to be but I don't knock it for what it is. Things change all the time whether it is photography, film making (HD vs non-HD) or even skateboarding for that matter. I think there will always be a dividing line between the two parties but in a way, I almost think it is a good thing to have so many different styles and mediums for people to explore.
I am a new age shooter and have treated digital photography for what it is. It is a digital image made up of pixels, so it's not meant to be treated as film. Post processing is a big part of photography whether using photoshop, lightroom, etc.....even though it is looked at as cheating in some ways. But still, there are many people that do it wrong and by the end of it, a lot of photography is dependent on the user and not the equipment.

i agree with this. it shouldn't matter what it took to get there it's the photo that matters. and the imagination of the photographer.. not to mention that, developing aside, it can be just as difficult to get a photo with a digital camera as with a film camera, and just as much work.Expand Quotetrue, but good digital photography is distinguishable from the bad, and while cameras can do everything automatically, shooting manually and knowing what you're doing makes a big difference. for example, even hot digi cameras don't know what you're specifically exposing for in a frame, whereas metering a subject, manually entering your digits always comes out with better images.Expand QuoteI think that the advent of digital photography and especially the super cameras that are being made today have made photography bland because there are no more problems.

it seems like whenever there are big technical advances in technology for the arts there are always people who are resistant, and insist the old way is more pure etc.. but i think most people, eventually, are happy to have better tools at their disposal, to help them do what they're trying to do.
the same thing happened when film editing went from actually splicing film to editing on computers. a lot of people thought the computer stuff was bullshit.. nowadays you'd be hardpressed to find anyone editing on film, except for maybe a small handfull or experimental art projec type stuff.. things that took days to do can now be done in seconds, and undone in seconds.. any filmmaker who was around in the film editing days will tell you that they'd prefer not to go back
In that interview, Lundgren goes on to say...
"First off, I am not a luddite. Much of my work is heavily altered in the computer as well as the darkroom. In a sense, directorial photography has been steadily supplanting what Paul Graham calls analytical photography, which is what I do. And much directorial photography and digital compositing (directorial�s newest agency) is so seamlessly crafted in intent and message that it is often indistinguishable from the world of fashion and advertising. I don�t believe that technology alone will lead to an expansion of what photography is. . . ."
And I agree with that. I shoot with my S90 every day without any guilt that I'm not exposing any silver. But it's like Robert Adams said, "Pictures should look like they were easily taken. Otherwise beauty in the world is made to seem elusive and rare, which it is not." And as Nicholas Nixon said, "Each successful photograph balances content with form and truth with aspect, using a solution unique to itself. While describing something that matters with clarity, economy and force seems to be photography's perennial aesthetic, how this comes about remains for most a private and, for the most part, intuitive matter. The best photographs are transparent, sensual, intelligent, fulfilled, freshly arrived, enduring and, in the deepest sense, are of the world."
One of the big problems with modern photography is attempting to learn with a digital camera. A kid is going to shoot a photo, and he'll say to himself "I'll just torrent photoshop when I get home and fix it." While photo editing is a must, you can't just go out, snap a photo and expect to make it perfect with editing software. People aren't learning some of the core fundamentals of photography, such as lighting, exposure, composition. What ends up happening is you get a severely under-exposed photo where half the subject is cropped out and the photographer thinks its acceptable. When you shoot with film, you need to take everything into account because their is no option to delete. If you don't do everything proper, you'll be mighty disappointed with the result. I guess what I'm trying to say is, learning on digital seems to be creating this lazy nature in the future photographers of the world.
Chris Cole Kid, I've been shooting for 8 years, and there's so much I have yet to learn, so any constructive criticism I receive gets taken in stride and I apply to my work. I'd listen to any criticism or advice Matze has to give, as he is one of the best photographers on this forum.
Knowing how film reacts in the conditions you normally shoot will help you so much down the road. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking digital, the full frame dslr is one of the best things to happen to photography. I'm just saying, if someone is serious about photography, learning on film is the best way.Expand QuoteOne of the big problems with modern photography is attempting to learn with a digital camera.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, learning on digital seems to be creating this lazy nature in the future photographers of the world.
Chris Cole Kid, I've been shooting for 8 years, and there's so much I have yet to learn, so any constructive criticism I receive gets taken in stride and I apply to my work. I'd listen to any criticism or advice Matze has to give, as he is one of the best photographers on this forum.[close]
On a flip side to that, I learned so much through shooting digital that when it came to understanding a film camera, it came quite easier then expected. Not to say I captured some top notch film shots but I am sure I didn't have to go through that much trial and error if I didn't use a DSLR in the first place.
But I believe learning both film and digital is a perfect marriage to get whatever shot you need. I am sure both have their pros and cons and you can just pick whatever one suites the occasion.

So until I see some pictures YOU take and you show me that YOU are a better skate photographer, I'll take your advice. But it really can't be helped right now with the current equipment I have.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteI do skate photography a LOT. It actually could potentially turn into a career soon... if I get a deal with this mag out of Philly and my bro's underground board company sponsor.
Just a few of my better ones. I fucking love skate photog.[close]
sorry to say that bro, but you're far away from being a photographer who earns money with it. the only good thing is that you don't do buttshots and you catch the right moment, but for the rest ... I can see that you know nothing about taking pictures. you have low technical skills, not a good equipment and you need to learn about light, techniques and composition. it's a long way!
take a look at skateperception, try to learn from the dudes who post there and improve your pictures! I really don't want to talk shit to you, but your pictures could do anyone with a dslr.[close]
Sorry if that came off as really defensive and bitchy. It wasn't meant like that.[close][close]
My technique is probably lacking here and there... I have only been photog'ing skating for about a year.
Every time I shoot for someone, I keep practicing all of the mentioned critiques.
Sorry for that, I'm too used to people on SLAP being assholes. I apologize.
Having better equipment, though, WILL help me expand my horizons and open up new ways to learn and improve is what I mean about equipment, that's all. I'm trying to save up for this really badass Nikon on eBay. It's SO underpriced for what it is, and it comes with a kit, as well. It's like $500 to $600 but is probably worth like $1200.[close][close]
+ seeing Chris Cole Kid call out Matze to show him photos that are better than his shows that he's obviously new here
You have almost as many posts as I do and I registered my current account March 7, 2008. You registered July 20, 2010. Just saying; maybe check the place out for a while before diving in? Maybe shoot photos for more than one year before you hype up your upcoming career? Maybe people won't be assholes? Just some advice. You seem reasonable enough, I mean you can admit when you're being sensitive which is unheard of on these boards, so that's a good sign.Looking back, including the part about a "career" of any sort probably wasn't a good idea. I got ahead of myself. It's just that skateboard photography is a huge thing in my life as far as goals and dreams. Either way, though, it's SLAP. People will be assholes at some point no matter what. It's a given. It's good to talk with people that aren't though. Some people just find it their duty to "call out" people that they don't know at all and get all holier-than-thou. It's the internet, it happens. Matze's advice is well-taken, though.
Do screen shots count, or is that too post modern?imma post this on my blog tomorrow if you don't mind.

Hi
I'm thinking of buying a fisheye lens for my Canon 30D. I'm not able to buy a new ?600 or whatever one, so I checked ebay and there are multiple fisheyes for sale for like 30-60$. I don't intend on bidding on one of them since I don't really trust the quality.
So my question is, what would be a good price for a quality second hand fisheye lens ? Should I trust buying one second hand ? And am I foolish for thinking I can buy something of decent quality for ?200 ?
Yeah, I know that I won't get something with great quality, I just wanted to know if it's decent enough to use. But if it's real crappy i probably just won't buy it, I was just playing with the idea a bit. I'll probably wait another year and do some working and save up to buy something decent. Probably getting a new camera first though, my 30D isn't what it used to beExpand QuoteHi

You'll get what you pay for. All those things on E-bay are usually circular fisheye attachments...like some lomo fisheyes. If you are into that, then by all means get it but it isn't a true fisheye. Even the cheaper fisheyes from other 3rd party companies will give you some crapy results regardless of the look. More then likely it will not be as clear, fast nor will it probably auto focus on your camera.
The only real fisheye I would recommend is the Tokina 10-17 for a crop frame Canon (next to that would be the Sigma). It's still pricey as hell but it is the cheapest and the best in the market:
(http://www.onestop-digital.com/images/tokina10-17.jpg)
What camera and brands are worth the money? Me and my girlfriend need a new camera, ours is about had it. It's super old and the picture quality is only good on close ups. We are not photographers, we just need a camera for our trip next year. I wanna stay below $450. A good battery life is also a plus.
Thanks for the help. I think a DSLR is too high tech and big for what we will us it for it. I had a customer at my old job that cool was shit, he brought in a DSLR, Canon Rebel I believe, and it was just too hard to get the hang of all the features. The Canon S95 sounds better and would suit our needs...it is also in the price range too. Do you have an idea how much the G12 is gonna go for?
I read the Canon S90 had a pretty average battery life. Expect to see it drain within the day if you shoot all day. I think the manual says about 225 shots per charge. Some people have said to shoot off about 300 but expect to see a range from 200-300 shots. The main thing that drains the battery is the LCD screen. Whether you are just looking at your photos, that damn screen will be the main cause of your battery dying. I guess just get a backup battery and you should be ok.I have a G10 and I really like it. The only bummer is that the built in flash is pretty much useless in my opinion.
The G12 should be about the same or worse. I used my G9 casually at a wedding and it died on me around midday. It was a total piece of shit cause I didn't take any shots of the wedding later.
The G series of Canon's are really good. f/2.8 lens and full manual settings which is dope for a "point and shoot".

I got a new cat last night. Took some photos.
nice! I've been out shooting for a bit today, but I think it will suck. this 80mm lens is a pain in the ass.if you're looking for an SLR, try a nikon fm/fm2/fe. they're sturdy and work great, plus there are a lot of old and new lenses available (compatible with new nikon AI lenses).
anyway: I think I kinda want to get rid of my canon eos 5 and get a nicer 35mm. is there something solid besides a laica and a voigtl?nder/bessa? maybe a half frame or something? I have an old minolta at home, that I could use as a ready to go camera, but the elctronic sucks. some ideas?

Naw.....the Nikon D7000 is way better anyways. I swivel screen LCD is cool but not a defining feature to ever jump and buy a camera.

ya i'm a bit of a kook when it comes to nikon cams, and full frame would be a nice step up. and very true, unfortunately, the 50d isn't anywhere near the same level as the 5d. i guess it's just on my mind cuz it dropped a few months after i got the 550d, and for a few extra hundreds and a little patience, i could have had some pretty useful upgrades that don't seem to be on the lower end dslrs. but on the bright for you, if u wait for the new 5d to drop... it'll drive the price down on the old one. either way your shit is looking pretty crisp so keep it up. im always stoked to see a post from you on this thread.

Thanks yo.Expand Quotewhat kind of fisheyes are you guys using? i?m thinking of a 16mm zenitar (russian?) but i?m not sure if its wide enough and has enough fisheye effect on an APSC camera.[close]
To really get that fisheye look, you have to get something in the 10.5-11mm range, which translates to about 15mm on a full frame. 16mm on a cropped frame camera isn't going to have the same effect and I think translates to about 19mm on a full frame. Anyways...Sigma makes a 10mm fisheye lens and it's pretty quick at f/2.8. That is what I recommend anyways.

I really like all of these. What kind of camera/film are you using?[close]
using a nikon f301, and as for film, just cheap kodak gold stolen from the local supermarket, times are tough.
Have a little interview over here with some stuff. Wish I could have had all new photos for it though but everything is held up with other things.

i will just add my 2cents, i am in no way a good photographer, just stuff i may have done different:
1) i guess u would have used less depth of field, i like blurry backgrounds
2) maybe i would?ve put the skateboarder not so much in the middle (see "rule of thirds")
3,4) a little faster shutter speed maybe, it?s hard to make good photos in skateparks i guess, they often seem kinda dull
5) like it
6) nice scenery, was it shot with a tripod?
7) nice view, but the ground on the right bottom and the buildings kinda distract me.
once again, keep going, i?m kinda new to this too and its so damn entertaining to take pictures.
that last shot was rad. were you using a macro lens?
I really like the Wallie pic

tilt shift lens. 99% sure.
The whole photoshop thing depresses me. I can't work with it for shit, so I'm always a bit bummed when I see photos from people who can make things look really neat with photoshop because I know I'll never be able to do it myself. So I'd like to be some sort of photography-nazi who is fully against "cheating" with evil photoshop, but my basic photography is not nearly good enough to make that work. I wouldn't be credible. And I have nothing against a little photoshop to begin with.
I've always been thinking that when/if I finish my journalism studies in a year or two, I'd try to go study photography for a few years in college as an extra degree. If that happens, I'll be able to work with photoshop and my complaining days will be over.
I?m totally with you on that one, its frustrating sometimes to see the level ofskateboardingphotography nowadays. i can only spend waaay too little time on that awesome hobby, and as we all know, only practice actually helps you. i personally have decided that i only use Aperture for tweaking, its not that hard to learn the basics about that one, and i dont really want to manipulate my pictures too much anyway. most of the time.

that spot/park looks fun.
My brother just showed me his new camera. Canon Mark III, big machinery. Since he still lives at home, I will have constant access to it.
A camera like that seems like an overkill for a 'photographer' like me though. It shoots 10f/second and has a way bigger sensor than my camera, seems good for taking skate photos.
I got a a16 back for my hasselblad, which means I can shot 6x6 or 6X4.5, depending on the situation. and I just paid about 60$, which is very little. I'm still waiting for the first film out of the lab, though.

Quick question, i was talking to my teacher about my next project and i suggested multiple exposures, and he said in order to get any real credit for a film project you need to develop the film yourself to burn /dodge etc. This got me thinking, I just recently acquired an AX1 and have shot 3 rolls of colour film, and i hear it is a lot more complicated to develop colour film than black and white film, should i get them developed at a store (my original intention) or work out how to develop them myself?
well, i am a pentaxian, i?ve got the kx. one thing that you?ll have to get used to when using pentax is that a lot of canon/nikon guys will not take you seriously, especially if you use the extraordinaire prime lenses. pentax tends to build its products smaller than most other producers, and most people think that a small lens means crappy lens. one thing that i also love is that you can use all their old, manual lenses on the new bodies, an A50/1.7 costs literally nothing and is such an awesome lens to play with total manual controls.
anyway, i usually try to avoid talking like that. go to pentaxforums.com if you want to inform yourself about that great camera and pentax lenses, people there are very helpful.
last words: make up your own mind about pentax, if everyone would be buying the 2 market-leaders, people wouldnt be driving that many different cars, would they?

sick, looking forward to your photos. just test it for Frontfocus asap, seems to be going around with many brands nowadays.
i just purchased this (hopefully) fine lens: http://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-Pentax-DA-35mm-F2.8-Limited-Macro-Lens.html (http://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-Pentax-DA-35mm-F2.8-Limited-Macro-Lens.html)
its when the camera sets the focus in front of the desired object... so for example you take a picture of a ruler and try to focus on the 2 inch mark (or whatever you crazy non-metric guys use, a magic stick or whatever), the camera confirms the right focus, but its sharp at 1 1/2 inch.
of course, backfocus would be the exact opposite.

fellow slapper Brandon. don't know how to resize...
The problem with taking photos of aircraft in flight, is you generally want the shot to be right when the aircraft is in line with you, not coming toward you, nor leaving. The window of time you have to get a shot, in frame, in focus, is pretty small. It is all really luck most of the time. I'll shoot 1,000 photos in a day and come out with maybe 15 usable shots. The big lens is also a hindrance. Panning around with a full body camera, plus a 500mm lens, well it's not easy, especially when you're trying to frame something coming at you at 450 knots. And no, not manual focus, manual shutter speed/f-stop...Dis Guy!?!
Also, only one of your shots is of an aircraft that is flying and also neither flying toward nor away from your lens.
And wouldn't awkwardly cutting out the aircraft's wingspan be considered just as bad, Diego? Unfounded arrogance.
My attitude was false, simply playing games.Ah, successful troll, fair enough. I wouldn't have been so rude if I hadn't thought that you were being legitimately cocky.
Also, I dont think focusing the entire bird would be a good idea, then again, it might beI agree that if the focus had gone from the front of the beak to just past the eyes that it would have looked better, but I also understand that for that photo, a successful dof is more difficult to accomplish and I would not call the owl a shitty photograph.

Are you talking about the second and second to last photo?
If so, it's called cropping
You make good points sir. Bravo
The issue with shooting aircraft though, is that they are in the air, flying under clouds, or sometimes in direct sunlight, which changes very rapidly. Since they're not on the ground, I cannot meter for what the ground is. It's really trial and error. Like I said, Any given shoot, I'll take around 1,000 photos.
Also, I stated it's mostly luck (the ones in the air), because from the time you focus, to the time the shutter is off, the plane can be anywhere from 100-300 feet from it's point of focus. 3D tracking and all those gizmos help, but not 100% of the time. I would need a REALLY good lens to not have to worry about blurry photos.
As for the bird, I know the kid probably doesn't have a decent DSLR where he can choose where it is focused (looks like a P.A.S.)
actually im using a full dslr on fully manual settings
its not amazing but i got it the other day... (http://www.digicamreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/pentax_kr_dslr.jpg)
and obviously i can choose the point of focus, i also chose a low DOF because there was some weird stuff in the tree in the back ground that was distracting, so i wanted to blur it out
good on ya...

hmmm, HDR?s are a tricky thing. i?ve seen some that i liked, but most of them are too ... "rendered". on the other hand, i kinda think that some technique like that basically had to come some time, with all those special effects and PP and whatnot.
Thanks dudes!Expand Quoteare these colours post processing or mainly from the actual shot if that makes sense? I always like the colours in your photos[close]
It's a bit of both. I always have an idea in my head when I shoot something so I try to achieve that look either through whatever film I'm shooting, the lighting (natural or flash) or a bit of post processing. I don't really like to do too much post work because I start to feel like a douche haha. It's really easy to overdo it so you've gotta keep it fairly simple, in my opinion at least. Or you may end up with something looking like this and that's puke worthy.

actually, its barely a step down from the 2nd semester college freshman photography student that decides to be "edgy" for a project and takes self shot, poorly lit, dorm-room closet, with runny mascara nude portraits.
talking to an old professor of mine, she says it happens without fail (or ironicly, full of fail) every year shes worked at her school.

i have that lens as well, and i love it. its basically the reason why i?m gonna try to stick to fixed focal lenses. some examples in that set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stlind/sets/72157625106549375/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/stlind/sets/72157625106549375/)
one thing though: its fully manual, which means that you will have to set aperture and focus by yourself, then let the camera measure (the +-button), then adjust shutter speed if you like.
its pretty sharp (sharper than my kit lens at least), and really compact/well built.
if i were you though, i would search for an A50/1.7, costs a little more but not much, and you can set the aperture on your camera, not the lens (if wanted).
both are great lenses and a great introduction into manual usage of your camera.

^^^What lens are you using? Not sure if you care but the Mark III is coming out sometime this year. It's kind of the big buzz with Canon right now....along with the 1D Mark IV. It should be about the same price range as the Mark II also, but I am sure things are subject to change.Those are all with the 28mm f/2.8. I'm about to pick up the 24-70mm f/2.8 later this month.
Still, the Mark II is the best full frame for the price right now with the best ISO out there. You be taking some dope pics.
Some of those pics are definitely Tempe. The one of the girl on the bike is of my little brother's neighborhood I'm pretty sure.Yeah, I live in Tempe. Those were all shot in Tempe or Phoenix in the past week and a half. The photo of the girl on the bike is at 9th St. and Maple.
anyone know some good prime lenses for a nikon dslr?85mm f/1.8
(http://i56.tinypic.com/11l4io8.jpg)
85mm f/1.8
50mm f/1.8 (or the 1.4 if you have the loot)
35mm f/2
28mm f/2.8
16mm fisheye
If you're not worried about auto focus, get either the 50mm 1.4 ais or the 35mm f/1.4 ais. The only two lenses I really ever use and they're fucking awesome. You won't be disappointed.thanks for the suggestions
But I guess they do make that cheap 35mm f/2 for digis so if you're on a budget, go for that as Snickers posted.
Don't get the 16mm unless your digi is full frame (D700, D3, etc) though. Nikon 10.5 f/2.8 is the one you want.

I had to use my dslr the other day and it's been so long that I had to relearn where all the controls are.
I think your pano looks nicer brightened, but the exposure is good on the main building (cathedral?), so I would mask that out, along with the top left of the frame and bring the curve up a bit.
I've been toying with the idea of owning one of those Ricoh joints or maybe a Sony NEX5. I don't know shit about photography and these are expensive gadgets and I certainly can't afford them now, but still, I like the idea.

The thing about that camera is that the sensor is part of the lens unit, meaning each lens has its own sensor, which brings up the cost on lenses. I'd say it's worth it though.

one idea would be to leave the lens-cap on the lens, set shutter speed to the fastest and make the 24 exposures,This works. Just do a couple extra for good measure.

I ended up caving in and buying chemicals to develop my own B&W. Then caved in and bought a negative scanner.
Then found out half the shots I took came out like shit, because I tend to forget about exposure. Oh well, here are a few that came out decent. They're from my trip to Germany a few weeks ago. HP5+ / Canonet QL17

holy crap, my so secretly hidden cover has been blown.
the tricks were a fsblunt kickflip to fakie on the rail and a fsblunt bigspin out on a curb. i think he may have slided 1km in fsblunt that day. he had each one after a few tries, but he insisted on catching both tricks in the air and sliding the whole obstacle.

That Lumix that was posted might be worth looking into. I haven't had a Lumix myself but I heard nothing but good stuff about them and new cameras always have the latest technology which in the digital case, is a good thing.
And if you are looking for something more portable, try the Canon S95.

Has decent ISO and fast lens (heard shooting at night isn't too great though), HD video, wide angle, etc. I think people get this for more the portability of anything. Don't get a G series Canon (ie G12) cause those fucking things are huge and you might as well get a DSLR.
thank you for the kind words. I took my camera everywhere I went on the weekend, so I shot 2 more rolls. these are the better ones from a ektar 100.

I own the s95 and it is seriously the best stuff. So portable and it actually works pretty good at night.

Exactly.
I posted the Lumix, and I also own the S90, which is basically the S95 with SD video. They are about the same size, the Lumix is slightly larger yet lighter. The Leica lens on the Lumix is much better than the lens on the S90 (same lens as S95). Canon learned with the G10 that more megapixels does not equal better resolution, as too many crammed together confuses the sensor and that is why the G11 and G12 megapixels were cut back to the optimal 10. The Lumix, however, uses a Leica MOS sensor which handles the 14.1mp very impressively. The Canon shoots raw, which the Lumix does not, but the Lumix has much higher quality video the the S95's HD. I prefer shooting with the Canon because of the aperature ring on the lens and shutter dial on the back. The Lumix is pretty simple in manual mode as well, but not as intuitive if you are used to shooting with an SLR.

HELP! I got some black and white film developed and they all had this fucking white burst line across them, ruining most of them. This happened on my last roll of colour too, but it was a faint red line that looked quite cool on some photos. What is happening? Im guessing it's to do with the camera/me loading it wrong.

Anyway i've been in a slump as of late. Haven't picked up digital in weeks, besides for uninspiring portraits. As some of you may remember, i have a crack in my film camera (i have put tape over where i think the crack is, i think it is because the door or whatever isn't shutting fully across the top at one point, but i have yet to see if this works) which has ruined a lot of my photos with burnt out lines. Picked up some slide film i shot on holiday, which had a few images i remember thinking i would be stoked on, but are ruined. I haven't even bothered to work through them really.

Say if I wanted to try out double exposure. Could I just go at it, shoot a roll, rewind it almost to the end and shoot again at random ? Or would I just be wasting precious film ? Because it seems difficult to remember each picture you took in the right order so you can re-expose it with something you think'll fit.

Also, to keep track of what you took pictures of the first time though for each frame, just carry a little notepad or something with you when you shoot, and after each shot, just make a quick vague note of what it was and any compositional set-ups you wanted to play off of the 2nd time though the roll.Or if your camera has a bracketing function you can use that.

chuck d -- some of those last shots are pretty amazing, thats italy right? where at? just makes me want to go to europe even more, fuck!Yeah that's Italy, I was in Venice.
those guys with the bootlegged purses are straight hustling.They would post up on bridges so they could see when cops were approaching and swoop up their shit real fast and move on. There was a group of dudes selling little light-up helicopters that you launch with a sling shot in St. Mark's Square. The cops were pretty lazy, but I saw one run at the group and only take two or three steps before giving up as they scattered amazingly fast. It looked exactly like a kid I saw earlier that day in St. Mark's Square chasing pigeons.

rad pictures. this may be a stupid question: is that film or one of these iphone apps?It's Kodak TMax 400 shot with a Yashica Mat 124G. It's definitely not a stupid question because I find myself always seeing some awesome photos, wondering what they shot it on and then seeing "Hipstamatic" or "Instagram" attached to it.
Do any of you guys know how to organize your flickr page so that the first page just has a few larger photos?Go to your photostream, scroll to the bottom and it'll say "Did you know you can change the layour of this page?" Click on that and it should have a lot of different options for you.
haha yeah i just figured it out, now im trying to figure out how to arrange my photos in a certain order, know how to do that?Other than arranging the photos in your sets, I don't think you can arrange your photostream unless you mess with the photo upload dates. I'm sure there's probably one of those flickr apps that can do something like that.

Man....that noseblunt photo looks so sick! You ever print your photos? I'd love to get one of that. That shit would look dope on some gloss photo paper. Make the colors pop out.

What do you mean high of resolution? Like when you view you photos on a computer, are they already pixelated when you zoom in? Or are you saying the photos don't come out clear? Even though a camera is 16 mp, you still have to shoot photos properly whether you are shooting low light stuff or just plain outdoor stuff. Post some examples if you have some.

really like the treflip.
I normally shoot on vivid mode, which pretty much makes the colors pop out. I do photoshop each photo but it's really just to fix the white balance a little, levels and to sharpen the photo. To me it looks normal on my iMac but sometimes when I check out my photos on other computers, shit looks way to vibrant. I have a normal mode but photos just look odd. Maybe I have to mess with the settings a bit.

with my pentax me-super i just put the mode-dial on "lock", and after like 15-20 seconds the light-meter is off.
Hey guys, got a question...
Ive got a pentax k1000 and ive read that to turn off the light meter you simply put the lens cap on, but this doesnt seem to be working and unless i remove the battery the light meter is permanently on and wasting energy. Any one got an idea of how to remedy this?

the light meter on K1000's do only turn on if there is some kind of measurable amount of light coming through the lens, so putting the lens cap should be the only way to turn it off. I'm a little confused how you can even tell that its still on if you've put the cap on, I mean, doesn't it look pitch black thru your viewfinder? you shouldn't even be able to see the needle, nevermind if its still making light measurement adjustments.

basically the only way that i know is that i bought a new battery for it, by the end of the day the battery was dead, so it looks like it was doing readings all day.
also if i look through the viewfinder (as you said) its completley black, then if i take the lens cap off while still looking through the viewfinder the needle moves up from the very bottom of the scale (as if it was measuring darkness) into the middle roughly

Don't set out to make the colours look ridiculous, set out to get detail out of shadows and highlights in difficult lighting. Like with all photo editing (in my opinion) you should just obey the God quote from Futurama - 'when you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all'
these are boring and they didn't come out as i'd thought they would have, but whatever:

To all the B/W film shooters, what, in your opinion, is the best dev for Ilford Delta films? D-76 is mediocre and Rodinal makes it all muddy and very grainy.if you're shooting delta 100 try ilfosol 3. i've gotten great results with that combo.

what do you consider as cheap? 10 bucks? 50? you can always go with an old minolta or a gossen, they seem to be good.I've been steering towards a Minolta after lurking through ebay and such for a bit. I definitely don't have the money to spend on a Sekonic. Thanks for the info!
I use an old minolta flash meter IV these days, but a new sekonic l-358 is on the way. both are not really cheap, but good enough for available light along with flash light.
how?s the k5 treating you?
Expand Quotehow?s the k5 treating you?[close]
at first it took a bit of getting used to because theres alot more buttons than the K-r, but after i looked in the manual and worked out what they all do its alot more ergonomical than the K-r because everything is literally at the touch of a button.
So yeah realy liking it, the battery grip makes portraits so much easier aswell, although one thing that might just be me but is annoying is than on the K-r i could use a manual lens (from the k1000) and the light meter would still work and give me an indication of the exposure, but for some reason on the K-5 the light meter doesnt do anything with an old manual lens so i just have to guess the exposures
you didnt have to press the green button before to get metering? i had to.. strange world.
did you get the original grip? because the body alone is under 900? here, its ridiculous. doesnt matter anyway, i?ll wait for the next gen. my bank-account told me to do so.

the colors, especially skin tone and sunlight don't look like one of those kodak films. I shot reala a couple of times this year, but it' not my cup of tea. maybe it's just the european sunlight that doesn't work with fuji films.This!

SLAP's professional opinions, please. I've got an opportunity to get a Canon Rebel T1i with a 18-55mm lens, a 55-250mm, and a55 mm, all for $550. It would be my first camera, and it would just be for general use in travel, indoor, outdoor, whatever. Does this sound like a solid camera for a guy that is basically a beginner behind the lens? After doing research, the deal sounds good and I could probably turn a profit on it if I didn't like it, but I'm looking for something that I'd like to keep for a while. Please, enlighten me.Go for the $550 package, better camera body and 3 lenses. If everything is in nice shape that's a good deal.
Edit: Also, I'm looking at a Canon Rebel XSI DSLR with a Tamron AF75-300mm F/4-5.6 LD Macro (1:39) Lens for $500, which is not as good a deal from what I can tell. This all means very little to me, so if someone could explain to me what I'm getting and maybe compare the two cameras, I would really appreciate it.
these are amazing.

fucked up unloading the film so all of my pictures got ruined :( but this one came out pretty sick...
Do you remember how long of an exposure on the first or 3rd shots? I wouldn't mind trying some night shots like that, good work.Thanks man, I usually bracket when I'm shooting film long exposures and just see which one I like the best afterwards. I was trying to get long enough exposures to lighten up the darker areas, but I also wanted to keep the street lights from blowing out the photo. The first one I think was maybe 4 or 5 seconds at f8, but not completely sure. I also shot one at 8 seconds which was way too long. The last one was the last shot on the roll so I couldn't bracket, but I guess I got lucky. That's probably 3 or 4 seconds at f8. I really should write this stuff down like my dad does.

Anyway, I usually just play around with long exposures to see what the best outcome is. Those were all from 5 rolls of film and most of it was shit, so it's really trial and error. Anyway good luck if you try em and you should post em up, your stuff is really good bacon!
I can share my experience with night shots:
- if you're shooting film: choose the right one. I prefer kodak ektar.
- get a good tripod and a cable release.
- I usually measure the light with my 90s canon rebel and give it an extra f-stop. if the camera shows f16 I take f11.
- I try to avoid to shoot against lamps or any other (direct) light source. lens flare destroys the whole picture.
- take yourself time. it's not easy to do a proper picture at night. a good picture should be sharp and not crooked.
- listen to sebastian toombs.

So I'm finally learning color darkroom (hyped!) but I haven't really explored much with color so could someone suggest some good 35mm color print films other than stuff like portra and ektar? I also need some good cheap film so I can shoot a bunch of shitty rolls before I use those fancy ones. Thank youuu!With film you usually get what you pay for: a $6 roll will give you better results than a $2 roll. I prefer Portra, sorry I don't have any new suggestions.
I'm contemplating this right now.Expand Quote:-\

since I'm shooting mostly at night times these days I was a little bummed about the meter inside the camera. the longest shutter (besides bulb) is 2 seconds, which means you cannot meter the light with a 4.5 aperture and a iso 100 film when it's dark. after I shot the role I found a simple trick: just put the camera on iso 1600. with the help of math this allows you to have 30 seconds more ... imagine the camera shows you 2 seconds at iso 1600 and a 4.5 aperture. this would be at iso 800 about 4 seconds, at iso 400 8 seconds, at iso 200 16 seconds and at iso 100 32 seconds .. hopefully I'm right with this one. this will hopefully work.

my girlfriends birthday is coming up and i was thinking about getting her a camera so she can stop buying disposables all the time. what would be the best thing to start with? i was thinking a nikon fm2? what else would be recommended for a good start? any help is much appreciatedI started shooting with a Canon AE-1 Program, which can be fully automatic or manual, which I liked. I still use it for street photography from time to time because it can be fully automatic. It's also pretty cheap and you can find it virtually anywhere, usually in sets with multiple lenses, filters, flashes, and whatnot.

also consider the pentax ME/ME super. it was my first real film SLR, took that shit everywhere.

And change "All pictures are copyright of me, Matthias Winkel." to "Copyright 2011-12" (or whatever the exact years); the use of the word "me" sounds too unprofessional.

i didn't even know that a fuji camera like this existed. I'd love to give it a try! I have been thinking about buying a panorama camera, too, but more something compact like the xpan (which is a little too expensive right now). anyway, I have a medium format fuji camera and I have to say that it's pretty rad. good quality for sure.

What's the name of that little plastic thingy that protects your camera when no lens is attached to it?

It depends on the situation for me. If it's at an event or something, I'm completely fine with it. Some days I'm just super confident whether I'm taking candid shots or street portraits. Some days I'm really shy and don't want to get into the possibility of a confrontation.

i guess the sigma 30mm f1.4 would be that lens. or, if you are still on pentax and have a shitload of money and want the best, the 31mm f1.8 is your dream.
maybe check that site, they have great user-reviews of basically everything that ever fit on a pentax.
http://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/ (http://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/)
The bigger difference is that the 30mm has a max aperture 2 stops bigger than your 35mm (1.4 versus 2.8), it will give you an extreme shallow depth of field and better for lower light exposures. The 5mm difference of focal length seems minor.
this approach used to be one of my biggest fears. i'd go out, telling myself "you're going to shoot photos of strangers today," and end up coming home with a roll full of deadpan shots of suburban homes or storefronts, which isn't bad, just not what i wanted. it bummed me out that i couldn't produce the sort of work i most loved to look at.Do you guys ever feel uncomfortable taking pictures of random civilians while they just give you that weird ass look?

as far as i know, you can trigger most external flashes with your onboard flash, and decide whether you just want the onboard flash to trigger the external flash or if it should expose the picture as well. doesnt work well in daylight, but in darker areas i made some nice experiences with that.
Sounds awesome, ill give it a shot later.
havnt managed to read the manual yet as its one of those "foldout map" types that i hate and i got the flash in the post about half an hour before that skate sesh.

Decided to just throw this in here.
Here's from my first day testing out my Canon 50mm F/1.8
It's an amazing lens for only $100. Awesome depth of field
what happens in the second pic? i cant figure it out.

I know this has probably been asked before but can anyone recommend me a film scanner that is both reasonably priced and decent at what it does? I could also do with some software recommendations as I know that having a good interface can really help to get the most out of your negs. I'll mostly be scanning 35mm colour negatives if that helps.

For those of you who cut your prints, what size borders do you usually make? I need to find a good thickness that looks good.I believe professional standard is 1/2 inch border all around, with the intention of putting the print in a matte and frame.
matze: awesome. love the ladder descent.
fink: that last one of the road workers is really great.

Thanks for the heads up on that website. That's exactly what I wanted to see What do you use for your fisheye stuff? I really dig a lot of the stuff you post on here. The Tokina 10-17mm 3.5-4.5 looks pretty nice, as well.

I use a Nikon 10.5 2.8mm. For whatever it's worth, it shoots very clear photos and is pretty quick and captures color great. The Tokina fishy is cool cause you get a fisheye and when zoomed out, a wide angle shot. The only thing is it's not as fast as the 11-17mm. I know skate photos are always fisheye but between the two, I would go with the 10-17mm. That's just me.
This is my favorite photo I've ever taken.ignore composition tips, you're doing great. keep going.

On the third one, the framing of the skater in the space between the trees is spot on. I like that photo a lot.

Yes.
Has anyone shot with the 50mm canon lense? I'm thinking about getting it.I love my Canon 50mm F1.8 lens
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.

Funny you went here. This is the park notorious for gay guys to hook up and have a good time. We always try to shoot our 'product pages' for the local skateboard mag in and around the park to make them as gay as possible.

It may be the development, but that seems unlikely. Have you compared with another lab? Ektar is a warm tone film, so it may be the case that the scanner, if it's on auto, is getting confused and over-compensating. If it's that, then you just need to adjust the curves set for the scan. I generally tweak the curves for every scan, regardless of film, even when they are from the same roll. I'm not sure how the exposure would cause a warm film to turn cool, but who knows. Strange things happen on film, especially with the long exposures needed for nights shots with 100 ISO. The exposures look good on the jpegs, but of course those aren't necessarily an accurate representation your negatives. Are you compensating for reciprocity failure?
http://dreuxsawyer.blogspot.com/2011/12/reciprocity-failure.html (http://dreuxsawyer.blogspot.com/2011/12/reciprocity-failure.html)
Here are a few shots of mine using Ektar. Although these jpegs are fairly warm still, I cooled the tones down to where they are. Shooting film and processing digitally really makes me wish I had a room to set up my color enlarger. I have made c-prints of these and they look much better. Analog to analog reduces so much of the unnatural color phenomena that you get with scanners interpreting film.

Shooting a lot less than I used to now days, haven't touched my 35mm since the end of summer. I find there is no point taking photos for the sake of taking photos if i'm not stoked on where I am, and all autumn/winter I have been really busy working etc. Finally got a roll back from when I went to New York in June (took me forever to get it developed), happy with some of the shots but bummed because I lost the second roll and whilst the first roll was about things I saw, the second one was about the people I met. I've got one more roll from when I went to Manchester in August so i'll develop that soon. I made a tumblr to upload them, not going to clog the thread but here is a couple I like - they are just things I saw as I walked the streets, no overthinking

I got all new gear in the past 4 months or so. Got a Canon Mark 2 when it had the $400 rebate and my girl got me the 24L 1.4L lens for X-mas. Like the new change from my Nikon but if I had the money, I would have gotten a D800 instead.
I am trying to put in a good effort into shooting more. Even though I hate bringing out my tripod, I have gotten some good night shots. I need to go to some other locations though cause I am practically shooting the same stuff but with a new camera.

The Danish skateboard magazine Wunderbaum just came out with its 10th issue (does one a year). I had a lot of photos in the mag and though some of it might be interesting for some of you guys. Its just good danish skateboarding all the way through. There is even a Wenning interview i helped do in there, its in English though.
I shot the first two Check ?ts and the Fallen commercial, and some gallery stuff like the fs crooks. But I hope you enjoy the magazine and can get some stuff out of it even though the text is in Danish!

^^^^Well for one, those lenses are nothing to scream over. I am not big on telephoto zoom lenses but they could be good for some daytime skate photos. Landscapes would be hard on that Tamron and the Canon would be better for that since it is wider.
IMO I wouldn't get it unless he sold it to you for $300 cause you can get the newer 40D on Craigslist for cheaper (I just checked and someone is selling one in my area for $300) then what your friend offered. That 30D would have been more worth it if the lenses had some value to it but of course it might be more valuable to you if you shoot those kind of photos. Also remember that digital cameras have a shutter life and unless if your friend changed his shutter, it could break on you within you using it. Also the older Canon Rebels are worth looking into as well (T2i/T3i). They might be more expensive but they are better cameras with better ISO. I think the only thing that the 30D has is a better burst rate but 5 fps is hardly something you can get a good sequence out of.
Really good stuff guys!You are incredibly gifted. All of those shots are gorgeous.
^looks funCan't go wrong for $5. All i've heard about them and the different variations are that they're decent entry level rangefinders.

Cadillac Ranch Dressing, your photos always give me a boner. (a mental one of course):-*
I like the portraits. It's great how the subjects are in their own place, or what seems like it. I get a sense of what they are like from it.
Also, what's up with that mystery hand holding a cigarette in the photo of the girl on the couch?

It popped into frame a few shots before, so I asked her to put it back up for that one. It's probably not as interesting when it's not a mystery.

Fuck Chuck, you're killing it. I haven't checked out this thread in a while but just came in here and ended up clicking on your profile killing probably 30 minutes of my time at work. Haha I feel like I just lurked you way too hard and instead of going all detective I figured I'd just ask you� - Do you live in Arizona? I used to live out there years ago and thought I recognized a bunch of those people - Bucky and Trent for sure. Some of those music studio shots looked really familiar too... But yeah, what kind of camera are you carrying around to shoot most of these anyway?
Since I'm here, I'll post a few of mine:

Last January in ParisI just spent one week in an apartement like 20 meters away from that shop (rue Saint Honore as it says on the sign). The strawberries didn't taste as good as they looked though. There were like four shops with skateboarding-related fashion in that street (carhatt and vans store), one of them was a pretty good actual skateshop.

^Well depending on how many students are using wall space for the Senior Projects show, I'm hoping to have them printed around 20" by 20". Sadly, I'll be printing digitally since I don't really have experience with or access to printing C-prints. Honestly, I just want to see my prints up on the wall so I guess it doesn't bug me too much.
What are you doing in regards to print size and medium?
24" or larger and C-print I hope!
I would love to donate to your project, but I'm pretty poor and trying to get stuff together as well. I absolutely love your work though and I wish ya luck dude!

^^^I like the candle diptych! It's interesting how the change in perspective affects the viewing of two similar photographs. The first one seems like it's shot from the perspective of kneeling to an alter as part of a religious ritual. Then the next shot makes me think that I've stood up and turned around and am now examining the alter after finishing my obligatory practice, which makes me want to examine the practice. Paul Graham made a book called Shimmer of Possibility that deals a lot with how sequencing and multiple shots of similar subject matter influence how photographs are read. It's kind of an elitist photography book, but that's because he's a badass. It's well worth a look.Very true on the shots since I was crouching on the first and standing on the second. Thanks a lot.
And I like the two birds with one book bag!
Are these film or digital? Have you fucked around with higher ASA/ISO speeds? These are some photos that a little grain wouldn't ruin. Hope you keep at it, that's a pretty awesome opportunity.
such rad stuff in here lately.
RR, that series is fucking awesome. please keep up with it and post bits often.
chuck d, i went to check out the garry winogrand retrospective at SFMoMA last weekend. loved every bit of it, but i left thinking more about paul graham's lawnmower man series, which was located on the floor below. each frame was placed either a little higher or lower than the previous, forcing you to mimic the back and forth/up and down push of the mower as you moved across the wall. had to keep coming back to it. thanks for reminding me to check out that book.
Nah, I'm not specifically looking for a digital point and shoot. I just like for whatever I'm using to be portable so that I can easily carry it around and snap photos spur of the moment - or, you know, semi spur of the moment. It's nice to be able to see your shots on the screen right after you take them but if I have to get prints and scan them that's cool too. I'm open to any recommendations for camera's you're keen on enough to recommend within that price range. I mean, I could go a little higher but really don't want to go more than $500 because I'm admittedly just getting into photography enough to want a better camera and have a bit of learning to do. If you check out my little blog of the few photos I've taken it might give you sort of an idea of the photos I try to take - people, parties, art shows, random things that catch my eye, etc.... So I'm not trying to necessarily get a crazy camera for model fashion shoots or shot 12 frames per second. The one's I mentioned are ones that some friends have or they're the cameras some photographers I like use. But yeah, seriously, suggest away - any recommendation at all would be really appreciated.If you're looking into some small and good for quick stuff, maybe look into an Olympus XA1 or XA2. I just got a XA2 just so I could always have a camera on me. The XA1 is a better camera because of the rangefinder and faster lens, but the XA2 is much cheaper and simpler so it might be good to check it out. The scale focus thing on the XA2 also isn't many peoples' cup of tea (like me) but you may get the hang of it.
Thanks man, really appreciate it. I like that it seems I could find each for around $150 and have a canon ae-1 (also looking at the olympus 35sp) along with a olympus xa1 or xa2 for $300 vs spending 400-600 on an RX100 or Fujifilm XF1 - I just really like the aesthetic of the XF1 for some reason.No problem!
What're the pros/cons you think between choosing one of those or getting the others?

I don't know too much about the 35SP, RX100, or XF1, but I guess the only thing I could say about the XA2 would be the focusing and lack of control over some stuff. I actually looked it up and the XA and XA1 are different cameras so I would gravitate more towards the XA. The XA has a rangefinder as well aperture priority, while the XA2 has scale focus and a fully automatic shutter (which you may or may not want, especially if you want to learn).
As far as the Canon AE-1P, it's a camera that's never failed me in any situation. It's a really good learning camera because of the ability to have manual control, but also just switch it to automatic if you feel like it.
Another question, how do you guys feel about traveling with film? How often does putting it through the x-rays and what not actually fuck anything up?I've never had problems with film in my carry-on going through the x-rays, but from what I understand, the higher the ISO of the film, the more sensitive it is to the machine. Friends of mine have asked security about it and they'll hand inspect it if you prefer. You can also get one of those fancy shmancy lead bags if you really are concerned. My dad used a lead bag for years and swears by 'em.
Obviously the RX100 trumps but it's basically in a different league and perhaps more than I necessarily need.
I also use a Canon AE-1 Program for a lot of my street stuff as well some low light situations. I really enjoy it because it can be completely automatic as well as manual. It was the first real camera I had and basically learned most of what I know on it. It's also pretty cheap and most of the time you can find it in the $150 range including other lenses, filters, flashes, cases, etc. so checking out eBay regularly is a good thing.

Been dabbling in 35mm for a little bit, and whenever I go out shooting, I worry about the aperture. I never know what the right f-stop is, I understand how it works, but does 5.6 sound good for a regular sunny day? Anyone have general guidelines for aperture? I use a 50mm fixed lens. Also shooting a roll of Portra 400 right now, if it makes a difference.

Also shooting a roll of Portra 400 right now, if it makes a difference.There is no "right" aperture, rather a correct combination of aperture and shutter speed, which combine to make the exposure. For example if your light meter reads f5.6 at 1/250 this is equivalent to f8 at 1/125, or f11 at 1/60 and so on. Learn how to read your light meter and base your exposure decision on whether the aperture or shutter speed is more important to that particular shot. There's ton's of free literature online about this stuff.
yeah I actually have an internal light meter on my X-700, and I do use it, I've always tried my best to match aperture and shutter speeds when I shot manually, now I just shoot in P, which sets the shutter automatically, according to the aperture. It makes sense that they combine, I just never had it explained to me clearly.

edit: finknoos, I've never heard of the Sunny 16 rule. I looked it up and I think I am much too calculated to use it, seems so subjective. It could be handy if the batteries die in my meter, though.

Haha I guess I'll take that as a compliment? All those were taken with this Canon SD I carry around but I went and looked at a few cameras today so I'm getting an RX100 soon and a Canon AE for film. Looking forward to actually being able to adjust the settings.Yes! They reminded me of being stoned. Which is good. And thank you.
Oh and I'm also super stoked on your stuff Bronson.
Any of you familiar with Mike Brodie aka Polaroid Kidd? I started seeing his photos years ago on Fecalface.com and now there is a book of his photos. He was a crusty punk kid who rode trains and took all photos of his friends on polaroid and then 35mm.
Film works perfect for what he did and his photos always made me wanna hop a train.

Any of you familiar with Mike Brodie aka Polaroid Kidd? I started seeing his photos years ago on Fecalface.com and now there is a book of his photos. He was a crusty punk kid who rode trains and took all photos of his friends on polaroid and then 35mm.
Film works perfect for what he did and his photos always made me wanna hop a train.

anyone here try mounting photographs to wood and covering the prints in resin? I did a gallery the other night and there were a few artists who's work was presented this way and it looks amazing. I've been going the traditional route using a black (sometimes white) frame and matte but want to try something else since framing really drives up the costs. I'm thinking of practicing on some old prints to get the hang of it and then moving on to larger prints - just not sure what materials to go with ...

shot with a non-skateboarding friend yesterday. that stuff was bonkers, even looking at that thing was insane. waist high even though i am rather tall, incredibly rough ground, he had to pop out to the right or he would crash into a brick wall (he did once), tons of children distracting, he didnt care. one of the more impressive things i ever saw.

the x100 is a rad camera, i've never used one but I know a bunch of people who have one. the only bad thing i've heard is that the autofocus can be wonky and the manual focus is terribly unusable.
the x100s is supposed to have fixed those problems but it's also pretty pricey compared to the x100 which you can get for way cheaper now after the x100s got released.
whats the deal with the x100's shitty manual focus? How could fuji possibly fuck up a manual focus ring?From what I've read it's really time consuming to focus manually, having to turn the ring around and around. It's slow, basically.
I'm working in a shelter for single men (homeless people along with asylum seekers) and this is a resident, who got beat up by a cocain/alcohol addict.
well some people live here for moths or even years, so people know who I am (I'm a social worker by the way, so I'm a "good guy"). and it's know that I take pictures of residents. normally I just ask them directly (if I'm sure they know my face): can I can a picture of you and your tattoos? your face looks horrible, let me take a picture. it works 9 out of 10 times. most people here dont get much love and attention, so it's kind of a nice thing to stand in front of a hasselblad with a tripod.Expand QuoteI'm working in a shelter for single men (homeless people along with asylum seekers) and this is a resident, who got beat up by a cocain/alcohol addict.[close]

i simply want that goddamn FF sensor, even though i of course know that i wont need it. and i kinda feel odd having 2 cameras, but i dont know if i will be happy with the slower framerate of the 5dMk2, even though i hardly ever shoot sequences.
or maybe even go for a 1DMk3?
any ideas, input, experiences? (especially upgrading from crop to FF or 5Dmk1 to mk2 or sth... hell, i would even take advice from nikon guys! haha)

i just got the 6d. i started out looking for the 5d mark ii, but it the 6d is basically the new version of the 5d mark ii, and just a couple hundred dollars more. also way way better in low light which is pretty rad. it shoots 4.5 frames per second, and i definately wish it was faster there. i didnt think i'd care but its probably the only thing i dislike about the camera so far. I dunno if its worth the extra $$$ for a 5d mark iii or 1dmk3(if those are faster, i cant remember)
full frame is pretty cool, but also annoying that you lose so much telephoto. I dunno, its my first dslr and im super happy with it, havent shot a lot of video but it looks pretty great to me. im not a pro tho, sorry.

I don't understand what you mean by "you lose so much telephoto." You mean it's a wider shot? If you just crop it, it'll be the same thing as a camera with a smaller sensor.
Hercules, I'd say just shoot film if you want full-frame.

Get out to Eastern Oregon, and Western Idaho. I drove past a bunch of wildfires last week when I was driving back from Wyoming.Unfortunately we don't get to pick and choose where we go. The incident commander on the fire has to order us as a resource. Then we can either accept or decline the assignment. It's been a pretty slow year so far. Barring the Yarnell Hill tragedy.
this thread is seriously killing it. friendly dave, i wanna go on a hike. now.
as for the FF plans, they are cancelled for some time. my phone got stolen and thus funds for a new camera are low.
thanks for all the advice/experiences here though.
i was always wondering why there wasnt more camera nerd talk here.
Full frames is just a bigger sensor, so lenses that are used on it show true to its length where as say a 50mm on a crop is really like a 80-85mm in distance. The only real setback on a crop is just the image quality but it?s honestly really subtle at most. Still in the industry, I believe everyone uses full frames and more so has to do with the burst rates cause most crops don?t exceed 7 frames per second.You've got it backwards. Crop sensor cameras are the fast ones, eg. the 1D and 7D. Full-frame cameras, such as the 5D, are not so quick.

Riverwalk park?
Went camping at Lake Of The Springs. Did some star shots.
^^^Thanks dude. I actually tried to shoot it somewhat different then I normally do. I usually would shoot like ISO 800 or 1000 and shoot about 20-30 seconds open at about f/12-15. This time I shot at like some crazy ISO at 5000-6400 and shot close to f2.8-f4 to get more stars and left it open maybe about 15-20 seconds but even with the Mark 2 camera, noise just was such an issue on the original shot. If I could do it over again, I'd shoot at my normal settings and use a more manageable ISO. Also set your white balance and tint it blue to get a bluer sky.
Also I even tried doing a star trail photo and left my camera open for 40 minutes and pretty much got a crappy photo and it killed 50% of my battery.

amazing work, as usual Fong!
And if you dont feel good about going out to take night-shots, group up! get some homies to go with you, maybe motivate them to skate around while you shoot, might even get a good skateshot out of it.
^Are you just shooting jpeg and using it straight out of camera? It just looks like there's little to know post processing, and they all seem a little bit underexposed.
I thought this photo looks really sick but I can't give any credits cus it's from tumblr.

I did shot in RAW and did some post processing, but not a huge amount. And for the exposure, thats kind of the feel i was looking for, i dunno.

What ISO did you shoot? I am assuming a low ISO? Some of those photos could just need a bit of sharpening. I know shooting at night can be an odd thing. Sometimes just the time of night makes the difference in the photo like when the sun is about to go down or if there is no clouds in site. Sometimes those deep dark blacks are the best and if you shot that more in the evening, you'd get a whole different look.
And Acosta is the shit. Probably one of my favorite skate photographers.
^^^Did you ask Donny Barley if you could take his pic?I asked him earlier for a portrait with my TLR, which I haven't developed yet, but I didn't ask him for this one in particular. He was real cool about it.
is that ur bae in that last pic?Yes mane.
I drive home on this freeway everyday and thought it might be a cool place to take some photos from so I went on a hunt on how to get to it. When I got up there, someone had cut this hole perfectly in the middle of the freeway for some timelapses or something like that. The line in the sky is an airplane descending into the SD airport.

What if we had a Pals-only Tumblr, sharing a password between those of us who contribute to this thread? Would that work? (I've never actually had my own Tumblr account before, I don't know.)
I'm down. I really like the zine idea too.
It would also give us some cool opportunities to do some writing along with more in depth photo projects or series. I'm excited. But let's actually do it this time!Expand QuoteI'm down. I really like the zine idea too.[close]
I second this. It would just be cool to have something more tangible then just a Tumblr blog. But I am down for whatever though.
We could always do zines as online, downloadable PDFs. It would allow us to do things more collectively as opposed to random tumblr posts (not saying we have to do themed issues, but the option is there) , or go into more depth with certain series or ideas as Cadillac said.
If people other than ourselves become interested in the project over time then we can look into making physical copies. I don't think printing is that expensive but i've never gone through with printing multiple copes of a zine before.
every slap pal should have the chance contribute, no matter how the others feel about it - as long as it fits (topic wise).
I don't think we're in any rush, and we all have other non-slap responsibilities, so even if you're 'slow' that wouldn't be a problem. And as Neko suggested we could rotate responsibility for putting it together as it sounds like there are a few of us that have at least a basic grasp of InDesign.Expand Quoteevery slap pal should have the chance contribute, no matter how the others feel about it - as long as it fits (topic wise).[close]
Agreed. I want to see cell phone shots, film, digital and just an array of all things.
I actually have a design degree but haven't opened Indesign in ages but if were' talking about just laying out some things with some text, I can definitely do it. The only catch is I am sort of a slow designer.

Fong, I used an external flash and a studio strobe light.
I could definitely use another to get rid of that shadow.
I can't stand watermarks of anykind on photos unless its on the back of a print.
Your subject and composition are supposed to be more important than your credit, and putting a little consistently distracting doohickey in the corner of all your shots to me, is like if you were to stand infront of your photos at a gallery, blocking people from seeing them, and just constantly introducing yourself over and over.
It's a pet peev, and I know piracy is tough now-a-days...but...is it tough enough to have to be so lame?
Imagine if StarWars had a little Lucas films logo in the bottom corner of the whole movie...

I am new to Slap but I am not new to taking photos.. Can I be involved?
My stuff is posted above.
Hey could you guys help me out? I finally found a used Canon AE-1 for a decent price and I'm going to check it out next week. As I'm kind of a beginner can you tell me what are the things I should check, and what should I look out for? My Zenit E stopped working, and I heard the AE-1 is a really good learning camera and was really stoked to track one down in my area, but i want to make sure it works fine. Thanks in advance! ;)Check to make sure the the light meter works by lightly depressing the shutter release while the camera is unlocked. you should see the pin in the viewfinder jump when pointed at light (or numbers will light up if it's an AE-1 Program), you might want to bring a battery to do this. Make sure the film door is secured tightly when closed. Fire the shutter, if it has a squealing sound it may need to be repaired.

^^^In the first img tag, put {img width=800} but put [] and not {}.
chuck d or anyone else, I'm doing some work that involves taking many color photos so I am thinking I need to get a digital camera. What do you recommend for a nice compact option with good quality? Not looking for a giant slr.All the portraits I've posted were shot with a Sony RX100. It has a 1" sensor, which is large for a compact. Also, it opens up to f1.8, and when that's not enough, you can tilt the pop-up flash back and bounce it off the ceiling for a nice fill.
Yeah, the rx100 looks very nice after some research. The second version just came out but doesn't seem to be worth extra $150 for my purposes. $600 is a decent amount of money. I've never bought a digital camera. Will it be outdated/breakdown or something equally sad in the next couple years?do we share the same grey matter? i've been poking around digital options lately, too. the RX100 has tempted me since chuck d started posting his killer interior portraits awhile back. probably can't go wrong with that one, but here are some other options at a similar price point:
And where do people buy these things?

Quick question for my Slap homies. I really want to get some ND filters so I can do some longer exposures during the daytime and was wondering what your experience is with these and if there's a huge quality gap in them. The majority of them I'm looking at online are really cheap and I just don't want to compromise a lot of quality over a few bucks. Any info about ND filters would be much appreciated.

I have the 10 stop bw one, it's really good, 30 second exposures during the day are great. Depending on the filter size you need it may get kind of expensive, my 67mm one was like $60 2 years ago, here's a couple photo's I took with it, doesn't affect image quality at all.

was thinking it might be cool to generate some photo discussion in here,
we'll use this as an example to get things started
http://www.laurenmarsolier.com/index.php?/projects/artist-statement/ (http://www.laurenmarsolier.com/index.php?/projects/artist-statement/)
read the artist statement first, then photos
what do you think of artist statements in general? (we'll keep it to just photography related ones)
what do you think of HER artist statement?
what do you think of her methods?
what do you think of her work?
just curious.
Although I acknowledge the purpose of having an artist statement, I feel like most photographer ones I read make me think negatively about the work. either cause I think they are trying to justify weak work or it's just poorly written.
inb4- "are we doing yr homework or something!?"
When I read a shitty, inflated artist statement I instantly become preoccupied with tearing down the artists work and ostensible vision, as opposed to looking at it impartially and liking it or finding something more meaningful in the photo using my own experiences, ideas, and perception. I think the best approach is to exclude a statement altogether.
Are you guys going to school for photography?

nah that makes sense, that's a cool quote I haven't heard that one. I feel like I'm the same way, although I've been making a conscious effort (within the past year and a half maybe) to try to work on a cohesive series/body of work that is unified by a certain theme or idea. I feel like I can convey a lot simply through the title of the series. I sort of like this approach because it sets the stage but also lets the viewer come around to their own thoughts about the work, which are often more interesting/not exactly the same as my own thoughts.
do you guys put any thought into creating a "series" or anything like that?
also i'm curious to see what photographers you guys are into.

Fongstarr, is it a digital sound going off or the actual sound of what the flash tube would make? I don't know too much about flashes, especially the hardware inside, but maybe the actual bulb (wire?) connection is bad.

whats with the tumblr, by the way?
First want to say you guys are all amazing. Im looking to buy a new film camera. I have one that was my moms that she wasn't using anymore but its pretty shitty. Any suggestions? Also trying to keep it relatively cheap, stuck on that college student budget.

it's hard to go wrong with basic 35mm slrs.
Canon AE1, Pentax k1000, Olympus OM1 or OM2, any of the Nikon SLR's (fe2, fm2, etc), will serve you just fine.
if you're not sure if photography is your thing or not yet, check out the Olympus Stylus Epic. It's a durable, sharp, fast point and shoot 35mm camera. It's pretty much all I use anymore. Allows me to think less about settings and more about subject matter when I shoot. Make sure to get the fixed lens 2.8 aperture one though not the zoom one. Check out my flickr, most of the shots were taken with the stylus epic.
as far as I know the customs for analog cameras are about 4.2% ... for a 1100 Euro camera it's just 46 Euro more

Sick thanks, probably going with the AE1. I'm definitely into photography, just getting started with film, but your photos with that Olympus are super sick might have to look into that too.

ordered an x100.
good bye film..
it should come in the next few days, I realized I spend way too much money on film + I might be going to Japan this summer so it'd be nice to have a good digi for travel.
2 more from a trip to Trieste, Italy.
it may take me some time to reach Fongstarrs level hahaha...
also, regarding the compact camera discussion: of course the x100 seems like the holy grail, but to me its just too expensive. recently borrowed a Sony RX100 and was really really surprised.

if you wanna give really cheap analogue another go with great quality, get a pentax me super with a 50mm f1.7 and tri-x 400. i was blown away.This was my first film camera combo as well (except with a 50mm 1.4) and I totally agree with you, it's an excellent camera. I don't use it much anymore since I bought a Bessa R2M rangefinder.
these were my worst rolls of film ever. 5 out of 100 pics came out allright.I know that feel. I got a roll back today that was complete shit.
I know I am super late on this but has everyone seen these videos? I just stumbled upon them while googling Jonathan Mehring from his Shoot All Skaters segment on the Berrics. I never even knew what Acosta looked like and he's like my favorite phographer:

what scanner and software you using matze?
turn off unsharp mask option and everything else just scan it raw and make it a little bit sharper with photoshop or lightroom 'cause using a flatbed scanner I can't get all the sharpness that exists in the negative

Just some silly photo of me and my cat after one of his surgeries while testing my flashes for another photo. Out of no where he couldn't pee and had a block in his uterus. Over a week later with so many other complications and 2 surgeries cause by this initial block, I get him home tomorrow where I think he might have days to live.
Not to turn this into a PSA but if you guys have cats, remember to feed them a good wet diet and get pet insurance. Overall this has been one gigantic learning experience and as a result, I am going to lose my cat from it. Dumb to even stress over I know.....but my dude Bodhi has been the best pet ever.

basically yeah. the zoom is also a lot slower, the stylus epic has a f2.8 lens while the zoom version is at like f4. with a 2.8 lens you'll be able to shoot in lower light conditions at faster shutter speeds. there are also less elements in the non zoom version so the image quality will be sharper.

I'm seriously considering getting one of those Stylus Epic cameras to mess around with. I've never done anything photography related so I'm pretty clueless about this.

Wild though. Would like to see the footage.

35mm is easy to get your hands on, the quality of film will depend on how much you are willing to spend.
Personally, I love fresh Portra 400. Unfortunately, this film is around $10 a roll. You can find propacks of 5 that will save you some money, but not much. You can also find different expired film for much cheaper but it'll be hit or miss. Some rolls might look super good while others are going to be muddy and terrible. If you're just planning messing around, i would say buy the cheap color film they have at walgreens and if you really want to up the quality, think about investing in a large stockpile of fresh portra.
you can develop this film at walgreens, the one i go to has never failed me. the scans will be low resolution but will look fine and sharp on the computer, you just won't be able to print large using the files they give you on the CD. When you take your film to CVS/Walgreens you have to specify that you want the images scanned onto a photo CD or they'll just give you 4x6 prints.

First of all I want to say this is one of my favorite threads on all of slap. Second, I'm trying to take my sister's polaroid camera off her hands or borrow it for an extended period of time, so hopefully I might have stuff to contribute to this thread at some point. For anyone else that has one, is the impossible project film worth it or should I just go for cheaper stuff?I've actually heard nothing, but negative things about the Impossible Project film from people that have used it. I've never shot with it myself though so don't take my word for it.
^^^^^^^^^^^
Canon S90 series is good. They have new ones from the S95, S100, S110 and the newest which is the S120. Really small, shoots RAW, pocketable, and has manual controls. Only thing I heard that really sucks is battery life, but just get an extra one. And from oldest to newest, there really isn't a whole lot difference aside from maybe the wifi.

Do any of you guys know much about lens adapters? Specifically if there is a way I can attach my death lens for my vx2000 to my pentax k1000. I think it'd be fun to play around with some 35mm fisheye action.it won't work, the way a vx focuses a fisheye is by using it's macro function. the aspect ratios of the two lenses and the focus will make it a blurry image with lots of vignetting. if you want something cheap look at the k-mount zenitar 16mm.
first post! it's been a dry spell this winter so here are some from last year.

I use a Durst M700, I had a M305 before, but this one is a thousand times better, and I'm finally able to print my medium format negatives too. The negative carrier has adjustable strips so it can fit negatives up to 6x9, so with 24x36 you just need to let a tiny border of light to get these.
looks good, what enlarger do you use?
I don't know how to make those darkroom borders with my durst m605. You make those borders with the negative carrier or?

Loving the prints, tumulishoomaroom!
Long exposures on film get easier once you're able to read how much light you have in a scene. I will shoot 2 or 3 shots of the same scene though, just to make sure I got it. Just remember reciprocity failure becomes a factor with film, especially with longer exposures.
Here's some recent stuff from March:

I never go out shooting with a specific series in mind - just interesting stuff or people I see, but recently I've been wanting to form it all together. I've been thinking of compiling a book of some sorts about Baltimore, where I'd have portraits go alongside my nighttime Baltimore landscapes. Not sure how soon I'd like to get that together, so for now it's just an ongoing thing until I feel ready.Expand Quote[close]

I really need to pick up another film camera. One with more of a lens and not a rangefinder type camera which is the only thing I have. I'd like to just see if I can apply the same things that I know with digital and do some long exposures and what not.

new stuff. ive been shooting a ton ever since i got my camera and having a lot of fun. pretty stoked on photography right now.
maybe someone can help me with this. when i first got my camera, i left it in jpeg mode just so i could get used to it. i was happy with the results so i decided that id switch it over to RAW hoping that the image quality would be a little bit better. everything ive shot in raw looks like shit even after ive edited it in lightroom. and i have to spend way more time processing than i did with the jpegs. ive never really shot in RAW before, so i dont really know much about it besides that its completely unprocessed, therefore should be a better quality image after you process it (i would imagine). i know im not shooting with a high quality camera, but i cant figure out why my jpegs were such better quailty than im getting from the RAW shots. it might just be that the camera (canon s110) has the best results in jpegs.

I've been shooting raw the last couple years, as well as working as a photo editor; the main difference between jpeg and raw is that raw has much much more flexibility when it comes to post processing, there is more detail in dark areas, etc. I'm not really familiar with what you're describing though, if you shoot in jpeg+raw mode and post a comparison I'll get a better idea. good luck

here are a few sequences i shot recently. i've never bothered to animate sequences in the past, but i decided to try it in photoshop. only issue i'm running into is the the highlights get grainy when saving the animation (look at the sky in the 5050), and I'm not really sure how to achieve higher quality. if anybody has any advice for gif export settings i'm all ears. the lipslide to that curb landing was nuts, kid is an animal. for the 5050 I sorta rushed the shot but it somehow retained the focus in the zoom, stoked on that.

good photos, how do you makes them look like that? do you use a filter?
Is Lightroom worth the $? Need to get Photoshop/lightroom not sure which is better. Haven't used it before and my old version of photoshop was pretty old, from Adobe Creative Suite 3.

It really depends on the extent of what you want to do.I find that Lightroom is just easier and faster to use. So if say you were editing a wedding set, Lightroom would be more ideal to whip through each photo and edit in a solid time. Photoshop is just more technical but and you can achieve everything Lightroom can but it just takes more adjusting imo. I use photoshop more so but I don't use Filters at all. But really you are doing very minimal to photos anyways and most of the same things are there that are on any program like contrast, exposure, color balance, etc.
Honestly if you don't have the money, just bootleg both programs and just see which one you like.

Thanks man! Yeah all the portraits I've posted on here are with the RX100. The pop-up flash can be adjusted by 1/3 stops up to two stops either direction and you can manually tilt it back to bounce the light off the ceiling, which is a great feature. These two were done with available light, but most of the others used a fill. That, with the larger sensor, raw capabilities, external manual controls, and size make it my favorite camera out of dozens that I've owned over the years.Expand Quote(http://i.imgur.com/QerVA05.jpg)

Your portraits are always killer. I might be crazy, but do you shoot with an RX100? Going to gradually unload most of my film gear and eventually buy a nicer digital camera, and was looking at those. Small, but still really capable.

also, please stop posting medium format shots, you guys. i am so close to the edge of getting one.I have a few weddings coming up so I think after I get paid for those, I'm pulling the trigger on the Sigma. You should definitely get into medium format. I've been using the same Yashica Mat 124G for like 4 years now and have never had a problem with it. It cost me around $200 CLA'd, but I've seen them go for less than $100.

Used 2 x Canon 580EX-ii's for this shot. It's a pretty tight space and I didn't have to deal with too much ambient light, so they worked OK. I would love to invest in some strobes, just cant afford to at the moment.

im sure ive seen footage of this spot thousands of times, but this photo really makes it seem so much longer and gnarlier than any footage ive seen. great shot man.
And Cadillac, I wish I could manage colour the way you do ! Keep up the good work with the fanzine !Thanks, man! I really appreciate that, especially because I don't really think I'm too good at managing color myself, or at least keeping it consistent. I've been trying to start shooting Kodak Ektar exclusively just to have a consistent look of color because I often feel like some of my shots look too different to be in a series together. With digital, I don't even mess with anything in post for the most part, aside from slight exposure stuff, so the color's pretty natural.

picked up a cheap Olympus EPL1 which should be with me for the weekend.
Does anyone have any experience with this camera? I'm totally new to using anything other than a cheap compact camera or phone so any hints/tips or sites to have a look at would be greatly appreciated.
Any cheap lenses worth picking up or keeping an eye out for which will enhance my experience with it?
Took some long exposures at the Fair this weekend. What's really interesting is that on the green spinny ride, you can see the people like I took a quick snapshot even though its a 3 to 4 second exposure. This happened on the majority of the photos I took. My thought is that it's like a helicopter blade that's spinning so fast, but it looks like each blade is going really slow. If anyone knows an actual reason, please share.Did you start the exposure before it started spinning?

Ektar. Only works with the slow lens during summer, but then it works pretty well.
^ No, this was in the middle of the ride when it was going super fast.
Edit: I was thinking it about it again, and it could be that someone else there took a photo with a flash and that's what caught the people.

Beautiful colours on that last portrait, CadillacRanchDressing. Do you have any recommendation for a cheap medium format camera for beginners? I've only shot 35mm before but I'd like to try different formats.I would honestly recommend the camera I still primarily use for my medium format work - the Yashica Mat 124G. I got mine for around $225 and it was only that much because it was CLAed by Mark Hama, who's like the big Yashica guy. But you can totally find good-working models on eBay for around $100. It truly is a workhorse and I have never had a problem with it during my 4ish years of shooting with it.
CRD,I wish that was me haha. Yeah, I'm really good friends with Patrick and he's usually right next to me when I'm shooting photos, day or night. Having someone who's that skilled at photography as a friend is a really incredible experience. I feed so much off of his skill and he's certainly one of my biggest influences, from style to work ethic.

i wondered that too. Does it use the same principles as photo where when shooting in RAW it gives you more control over the file?
Damn...that's not a lot of footage for 64GB.
So is shooting RAW practically shooting 4K? Or is like a tad short of it? Man.....I almost want to try that on my 5D but I know my computer won't be able to handle it.
Went to the most epic waterfall of my life today. It's 226 feet tall and I took a ton of photos of everything around it, but for some reason, this closer up photo of it was my favorite with the light pouring in. Also, I did zero post production on it. I usually mess with stuff in Lightroom or photoshop, but I got lucky with the right settings for how I wanted it to turn out.

im sure youve got it figured out by now, but when you load your film make sure that the part that holds the rewind knob spins every time you wind the advance lever. it its not spinning when you advance your film, you didnt load it properly.
Also, not trying to fill up this thread with too much shit, but, like The Bullet, I don't really know where else to put this. Here's a music video that a friend and I produced and shot for $300 for a couple friends out of Nashville. I'm not a big fan of the song, but I was bored and wanted to make something. Why not something for the homies.

Holy shit. That was incredibly shot/directed. Amazing work.
damn, that sure reminds me of my first attempts at shooting analog. My dad had two old cameras and i was pretty stoked when i found them somewhere lying around. I was really careful with what to shoot and what not and i guess it took me like three months to shoot one film, i didn't want to "waste" anything or whatever. Well, after taking them to the lab i got an empty envelope back without any photos in it and i still had to pay for the developing costs. I was pretty pissed and the best part is that it happened again months later with the other camera. I'm still not quite sure if i loaded/unloaded 'em incorrectly or if they were broken haha.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteStarting my 35mm journey. From my first roll.[close]

i feel you. i used to shoot film in highschool, but the camera i had automatically wound the film so i never had to worry about anything like that. when i got back into it this year, i was using this old yashica camera and i guess the frame counter was broken because when i shot my first roll it only said 18 frames had been exposed on a 24 exposure roll when it was actually at the end. since the roll was finished the lever wouldnt crank anymore, but i thought the camera was just stuck so i cranked on it as hard as i could and ended up snapping the fill off the reel. stupid mistakes all noobs make.
I made your same mistake on one roll once, but it was a very very important roll with a lot of personal meaningful stuff on it and I was super pissed at by self. After that I realized I was loading film poorly and this video helped. Haven't had a problem since.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteStarting my 35mm journey. From my first roll.[close]

I like think that I have the eye and mind of a photographer but I just dont have a real camera.
I just bought the 50mm 1.4 for my 7D and i'm pretty stoked on it. Had the 1.8II before cause it was cheaper and i wasn't quite sure if prime lenses are my cup of tea. But nowadays i mostly use the 1.4 for whatever im shooting. Really depends on what you want to shoot. I haven't used a 60D ever, but its probably a good choice. Do you wanna shoot skating? Sequences?Expand QuoteExpand QuoteI started a new job in August and a startup package just came through allotting $1600 for a DSLR body/lens. Any recommendations?

Documenting my work--shooting photos possibly for publication. I work doing local food production/urban agriculture stuff. Camera bodies seem fairly straight forward but I really want a good versatile lens.
I'm thinking of getting this lens:

I didn't mention it before, but those bridge shots are really awesome bullet. Great timing.
Everyone's stuff is seriously awesome. I get a lot of inspiration from the stuff you guys shoot. Definitely makes me want to try harder.

Edit:
on saturday I discovered a nice little Shop with lots of old cameras ... And I saw an offer for 998 euros for this body ... Could not resist. Went there today, talked to the owner and left him with 300 bucks, so he would Save it for me. And this is it - close to Brand New, hot shoe was never used and there was still safety Plastic thingy on the Cam.

Is that Thailand? My girl went out to Thailand and Vietnam and took my Nikon D90 with fisheye and 35mm. She doesn't even know how to shoot and she came back with these photos below. Told her to just shoot aperture priority.It's Vietnam, good guess. I like your girlfriend's animal pictures; seems like you have invested more money into the fisheye than me (pictures become blurred on the edges with mine).

Does anyone have any experience with any of the mail order film developing places? Im thinking about mailing some rolls to mpix in the next few days. The only place around me who does it is walgreens and i feel less and less satisfied every time i get film developed with them.I have a local place, but occasionally I'll send my film to Citizen's in Portland, OR. They do a really good job and the turn around is pretty fast, usually about a week. Their prices aren't bad either, especially for E6.
recent prints from school, getting better at dodging and burning. The last one was difficult but I liked the way it turned out, I need to find a scanner to use.
if anyone is interested, i have all the vsco film lightroom and photoshop presets that i can share with you. i know most people probably prefer to spend a little more time on their image than just clicking a preset, but they do work well as starting points. if anyone wants the link, let me know.

the lightroom version would be great, having filters to try and see what happens is really fun sometimes. i am always amazed to see what b/w filters especially do to images.

The subject line should read "CRD - FIRSTNAME - LAST NAME" and we ask that you provide a title for the photos, otherwise it will be labeled as "Untitled".

since my stylus epic broke i havent really had any luck finding a replacement. nothing worth buying at any of the second hand stores and ebay prices for that camera are crazy. the konica big mini caught my eye and it just came in the mail yesterday. not really as nice as i was hoping for and definitely not as nice as the epic, but im excited to see what it can do. i feel like i kinda wasted my money on this one because my stylus infinity actually takes a pretty good photo and handles better than this thing does.

At least the body of that Konica looks ways nicer than the Olympus! I ran through a bunch of Epics around 2005. Drunkenly leaving them in cabs or forgetting them in hoodie pockets that went into the washing machine. They were 99$ CAD new at the time, which seemed like a lot then. Since my Contax T2 died I haven't bothered to use anything other than my phone for snapshots but I'm going to Colombia in a bit and am apprehensive about bringing my Mamiya 7ii, both for size and the fact that even though a lot has changed down there it's still Colombia.
And why did I just type this oh yes procrastination.
Thanks ! And thanks okdad ! It was Delta 400 in the Rolleicord for the square portraits, and Tri X in the M3 for the 35mm. I like both a lot.

Dude, you don't even know! This shitty town was originally named Skinner's Mudhole. Yes, you read that right.
Skinner's Mudhole.
Apparently it was hella muddy and it was named after the first white dude to settle here, Eugene Skinner. So instead of the town being named after a butt, they just call their tallest hills that.
those are dope! really like the last one.Thanks on both counts man! And those photos you just posted are amazing, especially the first two. Night photography is the coolest thing ever but so hard without having to do long exposures.
and to resize just make you first bracket thing around your image url like this: [img width=700] (it can be any pixel value. between 500-700 is good though)

those are great fongstarr! id love to go to jamaica one day. my parents have been a few times and they loved it.

your angle looks kinda risky if board smashes into you, did he roll out?
damn! killing it!
wow, nice one! great lighting.
Those are great up there. How was it in Kenya? Worth traveling to?^thanks JB!^
Great shots, Thep and Herc! How'd you get hooked up with Noisey?it was kind of a hookup through a friend, plus i was lucky since they didnt play a show in vienna this time... hopefully this will lead to more chances like that.
^^^Wow....where is that? Looks crazy.
Wow......that looks rad as hell. Might have to track out there and see it for myself.
Cadillac.....you just happened to run into John Waters? Great photos as always.Haha basically. It was at a Baltimore festival and I had heard he was walking around. I actually found him in the back of the crowd for Future Islands. Such a humble guy.

Thanks, HHH!
The first three are with a Yashica Mat 124G and the last two are with a Leica M3.
Never pulled film, but your results make me want to. Looks great, dude.Really agree with that. It's stupid expensive. I really wanted to buy a wide angle for a moment but this made me refrain the impulse. Plus the M3 is so perfect for the 50mm that I don't think I'm going to buy any more lenses now.
The M3 is great. I've had to put more money into it than I really wanted to, but it's worth it I guess. I got it for a steal and it had been recently CLAed so I've felt alright spending money on stuff like the 28mm, but I feel stupid paying $160 for a 28mm viewfinder. I need it, but I wish I could be putting that money towards something better.
I'm really looking forward to really taking it to the streets, like fast paced street photography, since I've been doing some pretty stationary portraits and landscapes. It's harder in the winter, since there's a lot less outdoor stuff going on, but Baltimore has a weird Christmas parade coming up so I think I'll really get to see how I like it then.
Yeah, some of the prices of viewfinders are laughable. I saw some of the metal Leica viewfinders are priced around $550 and there is literally no way I'm paying anywhere near that much. I ended up getting a Voigtlander metal viewfinder for $160 and they usually go for $209.Really agree with that. It's stupid expensive.

Fongstarr : Either the 124G or a Rolleicord (not Flex, way more expensive) are very good medium format camera that shouldn't burn a hole too deep in your pocket. If you want to try medium format for really cheap, get a Lubitel 2, it's all plastic but the lens is pretty good; it's just that it's a pain in the ass to use, but it's good to learn the hard way. They are all TLR (Twin Lens Reflex) with 6x6 negatives.
Is that Yashica worth the price? Always wanted a medium format but just couldn't justify say a Hassleblad.Definitely. While the Yashica is nowhere near the quality you can get with a Hassleblad, it's still one of the best TLRs on a budget. I spent around $225 for mine, but only because it was CLAed. You can easily find them around $100.
^^^Jesus christ. Friggin awesome man. That second shot looks great. Like something from a storybook. To top it off....she's cute.
Never shot with a Mamiya 645, but I do have a Bronica ETRS, which is pretty similar. I really enjoy the 645 format since it's kind of a nice bridge between 35mm and medium format.
Thinking about buying a Mamiya 645.I used to have one and a couple of my friends have them. Great camera. One thing I really like about it is there's a shutter release on the top of the camera in addition to the common lower front corner button. It makes it more ergonomic when using a waist-level finder.
any pals with experience with it?
Yeah, I know. I'm just saying it's a good bridge between 35mm and 6x6.

Think I mentioned it before but I curate the Quiet Life Clothing Co.'s Camera Club that's been around for about a decade.I have never tried it either, I was wondering if I should or not. Not a fan of the coloring as well. Is it supposed to be better to archive prints ? Like for their longevity ?

I usually shoot with the 5d Mark III, and the three lenses I use the most are the 24-105, 50mm 1.4 and the Tokina 11-16 (although on the full frame 5d it only works open to 16mm).

So the one with the dog is the Tokina I assume? I don't know why but I am having a hard time justifying getting the Canon 16-35mm L. I need a wider lens since I have a 24mm and a 50mm but I heard Canon might make a new wide angle that somewhat competes with the Nikon 12-24mm. I am sure it will be super expensive but I don't want to buy a lens till it comes out.
Owning lots of expensive cameras doesn't make you a good photographer.
Love the one with the kid jumping Cadillac ! And the legs too.Thank you! I'm very surprised I even got it. I was mid-conversation with another street photographer when I, by chance, turned around to make a comment on everything going on that day. Saw the kid getting ready to jump and just shot. Didn't really get to focus, but I'm not too bummed he's a tad out of foucs.

Fong, how was the 43 show ? This mag has the best photos along with Dank.
In light of all the protest shots in here (CRD, Fongstarr.: both of your stuff has been fuckin' killer), I thought I'd post this short video I shot at a protest here in Birmingham, AL, last week. I only took a few hours putting it together and everything was shot within about an hour, but I think it turned out alright (aside from the interview audio and natsound, which are kinda rough in spots -- the downfalls of running and gunning by yourself). Anyway, here it is.

Do you any of you guys have tips on where to get black and white film developed? I shot a roll, but CVS said they didn't even have a place to send it out to. It's Kodak Tri-X 400 B&W if that helps any. I don't know if there are any legit photo places around where I live either. There's a darkroom at school, but I'm home for a month, and I would have no idea what I'm doing anyway.

i would say just wait till you go back to school and do it yourself...you're either gonna have to find a local lab (which is your best bet) or use a mailorder service (thedarkroom.com, fromex.com). black and white is not hard to do, and its unnecessary to spend money on IMO.
just watch a youtube video on loading a spool and read a bunch online, maybe ask someone at your school to watch and be there to help. If you like BNW photography the learning experience is worth it.

What do you use? I really like them.
Serious gear. Whats the story with the dude from the first one? I get a small town hopeless feeling from the photo, it bums me out a little but in a good way.I try and go out and shoot in the fog whenever I can, especially since we don't get daytime fog around these parts that often. This was in an area between Baltimore and the suburbs, where there's a lot of old businesses still kicking. I drove by this old burger joint, with the "Hamburgers" sign lit up, and thought it looked cool with the Christmas trees for sale in front. I took a few shots and started heading back to my car and heard someone calling for me. Turned around and it was that dude asking me why I was taking pictures of the trees. He wasn't angry or anything, just curious. I told him the fog, the sign, and the trees just came together real nice for a good photo and he understood. I asked him if I could get a quick shot of him and he was cool with it. I forget his name, but he told me he came up from Tennessee to sell trees. Not much of a talker.
Yes that's a very nice portrait ! It's even better that you took it with ektar, the supposedly not-for-portraits-of-white-people film. Portra might be better for portraits overall but I always found it stupid to be rigid about such things.Thank you!
great shots! what scanner are you using and how much did you pay?

A friend of mine is the director of a nonprofit that helps people with disabilities create and sell their own artwork so I was thinking of doing a project on the some of the artists and staff.
There's also been a lot of talk about bicycle safety in Baltimore since a bishop, who was three times the legal limit, stuck and killed a bicyclist. I have a few friends who have been running a workshop for inner city kids to learn how to make, fix, and maintain bikes so I was thinking of doing stuff with that.
Funny you might do the bike thing, I'm currently working with a few homeless and "housing-first" centers in Rochester and I'm going to go to a community bike shop Wednesday where some of them live/work.I think it's awesome that bike shops are helping people get on their feet, allowing them some stability by working on bicycles. I have a lot of respect for what these guys in Baltimore are doing because they're seeing first-hand how teaching a kid a skill and giving them responsibilities can provide them so much. I shot some photos of them this past summer at one of their after-school workshops and just talking to the kids and seeing their excitement proves that it's making a difference.

That's actually the thing that makes me the most nervous while shooting in Baltimore. Not necessarily bodies in vacants, but with thousands of abandoned rowhomes, there's gotta people in a lot of them. So when I think I'm in a quiet, deserted block, who knows how many crackheads, dealers, etc. are literally 10 feet away from me.Expand Quote

Hello Slap Pals, I recently (finally) was able to get a film camera and was wondering where the best places are to get the film developed? It's 35mm (400 color) if that makes a difference?
Thanks guys!
Lots of sick photos in this thread too
Was looking to get some pointers, I recently got a canon eos 33 (i think they also call it a canon elan 7). It's my first film camera and I was hoping to get some pointers when shooting with film. Also any recommendations on what kind of film to buy? I'm new to this and just been shooting with my dslr. Also I was given these two argus cameras. Not sure the model of the top of my head but they're very old. Was wondering if anybody knew anything about them as I'd like to shoot with this camera as well.

id recommend cheap film for starting out. look on ebay or amazon and see if you can find some kodak gold 200 or kodak ultramax 400 for cheap. if you look around, you can find that stuff for under $3 a roll, and its not bad for what its worth. i like fuji superia 400 and 800 too. those tend to run a bit more expensive, but are still pretty cheap. i wouldnt spend your money on anything thats going to cost you more than $5 until you know what youre doing. also, if youre using a camera thats pretty cheap, or the lens is old and dirty, its my opinion that putting expensive professional level film through gear like that is a waste of money.
the biggest thing youre going to want to look for is whether or not youre cameras work before you load any film in them. if you dont know how to do that, set the camera on manual mode, open the aperture as wide as it goes, and set the camera on a long shutter speed, then open the back of the camera so you can look through the lens from the back and fire the shutter. if you see it open, good. then set it for a faster shutter speed and do the same thing. if its noticeably a faster shutter, youre good. now go back to a slower speed, but close the aperture down and fire it again. if you can see that the aperture is stopping down, then everything is good. if the camera doesnt have manual controls, open it up and fire the shutter in different lighting conditions. if you see that the camera is adjusting to the light correctly, your fine. its also a good idea to put new batteries in the camera if its really old. i dont have any experience with any of the cameras you listed, but google and youtube are your friends.

Thanks for the feedback JB. I put in new batteries and had a roll of film that I used on it. The pictures came out decent. I just messed around but I haven't checked any of the things you have listed. I'll make sure to check all this stuff once I'm home. I guess i'll begin on reading up how to use the camera. I found the manual for both cameras but I'm not really sure where to begin. I've been a little impatient after seeing all the stuff you guys post and I'd like to join in.
Also when buying rolls of film on say ebay, what things should I look at and keep in mind?
Thanks again for the kind help!

Where are you located? I have a local place here in Baltimore, but when I'm sending out, there's Citizens in Portland, Oregon and Dwayne's Photo in Kansas. Citizens is moving spaces right now so I'm not sure when they're accepting film again, but I've heard Dwayne's does a good job.
If that sending out business just ain't for you, there's always CVS, Costco, or any of those places that'll do it on the cheap. Just be weary that they tend to do a worse job at it in the sense that they may cut your film strips poorly, dirty up your negs, etc. I still have a lot of friends who are perfectly fine with the chain store development and swear by it.

i send mine to mpix.com. they will send envelopes to your house, then you just mail your film back to them. id recommend it if youre shooting a pretty large amount of film and want to save a few bucks. cvs is ok, but nobody working there is going to be a photo expert, nor will they give a shit about your film, so you tend to get crappy scans from there, and since they dont know what theyre doing and their equipment is always broken, it can take them a really long time to finish your order. where i am, they typically charge anywhere from $8-10 to develop and scan your film, which in my opinion is pretty expensive. the last time i went though mpix, i got 12 rolls developed, scanned, and put on a disc for around $85-90, which compared to cvs is a huge discount. the process can be a little bit confusing, but if you decide to go with them and need help, you can PM me.
theres plenty of options out there if you look around. im sure anything cadillac mentioned is a good bet too. id say if you're paying more than $10 a roll, keep looking. especially if you're just starting out.

I'm in Union City, NJ. I figure there's places in NYC, just haven't really looked around yet. Nor do I fully know what I should really be looking for.
Thanks for the advice!
yeah, it's all I've been shooting with lately! great camera to have on me at all times. really stoked to have found a good digi/film combo, i've been running the x100 + stylus for the past year or two. Feels good to not have to worry about gear anymore. I think people tend to give up on cameras too easily, I know a bunch of people who bought and sold their x100 within a span of a month. Not nearly enough time to get comfortable/used to a camera in my opinion. Finding one or two cameras you are comfortable with and know well are way more important than having the newest lenses or systems.

Thank's babes. The 35mm worked in the last weeks.
can someone help? Whats the best setting to shoot street skating with a nikon D70? Should I put it on manual or action? And what is the best shutter speed? Thanx
^^^^I would shoot manual but of course you have to know how to shoot manual to make it work to it's full potential. If you don't action is sort of just a auto version but even on that mode, the camera can get it wrong. As far as settings, it really depends on the conditions of where you are shooting and what lens you have. I would shoot in as much light as possible. Aperture depends on what look you want in your photo (depth of field vs all in focus) but shooting open is always a challenge to nail your subject matter right. I would shoot like f/3.5 or so. Shutter again depends on the amount of light where you are shooting but shoot shoot the highest you can. ISO....I would stick no to pretty moderate level. Definitely not at a 1000 but maybe 600 or so. Your photos might suffer since you are only dealing with 6mp.Very helpful, thank you. I'm going to Oakland and it's overcast today with a nice flat light. One more quick question. Should I always shoot on raw?
That's my opinion anyways. Maybe some other folks can share some other tips.
Also, does anyone have any tips on diagnosing a speck that appears in my photos? It's there regardless of the lens I use.
smerdyyakav those are all rad!
the lighting in the first was done super well, whats going on in the third picure?
^^^That was shot at the Empire State Building. It was handheld cause they banned tripods but it took 10 shots to get that one clear one.
^^^^First two natural light or are you shooting with external stobes/flash? Crazy how dark your corners get but looks nice. And what's the deal with his left hand being hell of crazy looking.
^^^Thats your pops? Damn. Dude's a ripper.
What's your setup? I've always wanted to shoot strobes but never know where to begin with buying equipment.
yeah, really happy with my yongnuo triggers as well. upgraded from those yn-rf603 to yn-622c and couldnt be more happy. gotta upgrade my flashes though, right now i can only control one of them remotely.If you don't want to spend a lot and don't need a ton of power I like the yongnuo YN565EX flashes I have decent enough. I'm probably trying to find another sunpak 622 pretty soon. Have to sell some stuff on ebay first, old digital cameras don't go for shit, I think I can get more for the quick charger that went to my broken flashes than I could for my old Nikon D200 body.

I actually had the camera vertical resting on the ground and I was panning it. He came at the wall at a 45 degree angle and I followed him most of the way so it made it swirl because of that.

Thanks dudes. I'll have more throughout the week.
People in Baltimore are furious and rightfully so. There's such a disconnect between the police department and the communities they serve, which is pretty true with most cities in the US. I'm very curious how the coming days will turn out as people are planning on protesting every single day until the officers are charged.
There were definitely some white people marching along, but these protests are very different from the Mike Brown and Eric Garner protests. When those happened, that gave an opportunity for the keyboard activists to come out to "prove" they were socially conscious for their Facebooks and Tumblrs because that's when people were marching down in the Inner Harbor, where the tourists and money are. These recent protests are in extremely lower-income neighborhoods where a lot of those former protesters wouldn't bother with. The police station is surrounded by gutted, abandoned buildings to give you a sense of the area. It really does suck to see the lack of support from people who were "out for the cause" before.Expand QuoteThanks dudes. I'll have more throughout the week.

From travelling around I am aware of how racially divided cities in the U.S. are, but I was surprised to see that there were literally no white people marching along side the people in your photographs. Damn.
nice one madure!People should be out in full force. Baltimore is really two cities: the people who have money and the people who don't. I guarantee there are some people in Baltimore who still have no idea what's going on. More people would go out and riot of the loss of their sports team than protest the mistreatment of their neighbors by police.
those protest shots are damn heavy stuff, the sheer amount of (reported) police brutality in the last year is insane. i cant help but wonder why there arent people on the streets in other cities/countries. (well, until they fuck up a professional soccer player or sth people in austria wont go out anyway).

Fuck, man. Really good coverage. These are my two favorites from the batch.
You're doing a great job capturing all the different types of people who are out there, from guys in suits to guys doing wheelies on dirtbikes. That dichotomy makes for an interesting look at people's motives in turning out. While everyone can rally behind better relations between police and the citizens they are meant to protect, there's something about riding a dirtbike at a protest that says "I'm here for people to see me."

It does seem like there isn't a unity in the sense that some are very "fuck the police" and others are less aggressive, both disagreeing with how each other is handling it. Both are understandable. There are quite a few people who grab the mic to be seen, but as far as the dirt bikers go, they're all from a group called the 12 O'Clock Boys and they've had a history of police brutality towards them. Although there's a "no chase rule" for Baltimore cops, they still pursue them and will often ram them off with their patrol cars. There's a pretty good documentary that came out two years ago about them. You should definitely check it out. The kid in the photo pushing his dirt bike is the main focus of the documentary.

checking in to praise cadillac's coverage of the freddie gray protests in baltimore. josh, you're covering these events with the same hometown sensitivity that runs through your other bodies of work. i feel the respect you have for your community in every frame, each made with sincerity and grace. really great work, man.Thank you so much, Brandon. It means a lot to hear that, especially coming from you dude. Although I live outside of the city, it's my second home. All my friends are there, all my work is there.

she looks so polish and I love it!
got a lil series up on a site my buddy runs. pretty stoked on itThat selection of photos works so well together. The very first top left one is what inspired me to buy a Stylus Epic and start shooting film. I've seen multiple people reblogging it on Tumblr since then and it gets me stoked every time.

nice catch ... maybe with a fisheye you could put the skater against the blue sky to make him stand out more
Don't know why I haven't done this sooner. Finally got some prints made of some photos I shot. They are 16X24 and printed on matte paper with sort of a shine lust to it. Came out great imo and just sort of an awesome feeling holding a photo. Can't wait to do some more.They look really good, Fong! It's always the best feeling to have a print of a photo you're proud of. I don't do it as much as I should, but I have work up in three shows currently and I did a whole mess of printing recently. I'm thinking about making a lot of small little prints to sell at one of the closings.

Hey guys, digging all the positive energy and amazing pictures. I'm currently working and will get a scholarship which I plan to use a portion to upgrade to a dslr. I'm currently shooting with a olympus epl1 and was considering either sticking with olympus and getting a olympus om-d mark 5 or a fujifilm 100t. Does anyone own either camera? And if anyone has some recommendations I'd love to keep my mind open to any possibility.
Thanks!!

I only heard good things about Sony a7, big sensor sounds very nice too.
Amazing stuff you guys and also thanks for the input. So I've gotten it down to 3 possible cameras, the sony a7, fujifilm xt1, and the olympus omd 1. Has anyone shot with any of these and can provide some insight.

Just like you mentioned the sensor size of the a7 is what caught my interest. I feel like each camera has their pros and cons. Also the range of the iso is a big plus since I'd love to start shooting more in the night.

I hiked the circle trail too. Didn't know it was so short. I was trying to shoot near where the waterfall falls off even if there were signs but it looked sketch when getting closer. I don't know how you shot Burney Falls without any tourist in it. I am not sure if you noticed it (you've had to though) but there was an abundant amount of Indian and Asian tourist there. I know we Asians flock everywhere but had no idea where all these Indian tourist came from.you're asian too? oh man, it's like a plague, even my girlfriend is asian. you also can't visit any place without a million asians taking trilliozillongazilionmozakozatrozikalopillions of pictures. wtf is happening.

This is great. I love the colors and the contrast with the surrounding darkness.
I never messed with my camera's flash much because I'm more a fan of daytime/nature light, but this past Friday I decided to go out and toy around with it. I got curious and took a few photos of lights, and I really like how they turned out.

I took a photo class for fun because it was supposed to 35mm b&w and I thought it would be cool to learn how to develop my own film. Turned out they scrapped that class and focused only on digital. I was resistant to digital but was able to rent a dslr and ended up really liking it. I'll probably buy one if I ever have money in my life.
Anyways, these two photos were my favorites. The flashlight trick was new to me.

Ganz, ganz viel Liebe, mein lieber Brandon.
cool shots DMH, always love a good FTP tag.
looks like your lens has some pretty significant oil haze going on, though. what are you shooting with? my yashica-mat 124G had some haze on the taking lens and i was able to open it up for cleaning myself, can be a pretty easy fix if you have micro screwdrivers and patience.

Matze, I've got to share this one with you now..
I moved to Copenhagen just around 2 1/2 month ago. I guess maybe now it was around 5-6 weeks ago, i saw what appeared to be a old, grumpy man sitting underneath a tree in F�lledparken and I thought to my self, that guy is so self conscious, he must be posting on SLAP. And guess what. I went in here, saw your photos, and in one with you and your girlfriend recognizes this man, who might not be that grumpy at all - I don't now. He definitely still seems self conscious though..
I like your work, and I wish I'd have the courage to go and ask, but it seamed to weird say "Hi, do you by any chance post on SLAP?"

For those who aren't familiar with Bill Dane:
"Szarkowski's and Winogrand's influence can be felt in several distinct areas. First, they helped create a climate for an unprecedented exploration of the straight aesthetic, particularly in hand camera work. The photographs of many young photographers can be traced to their influence, support, and direct encouragement: Tod Papageorge, Henry Wessel, jr., Bill Zulpo-Dane, William Eggleston, Stephen Shore, Nicholas Nixon, Robert Adams, Chauncey Hare, Lewis Baltz, and William Christenberry, to name only the most prominent." - From American Photography: A Critical History 1945 to Present, by Jonathan Green (1984)

Dude, don't be nervous! This is the only thread on Slap where I've personally never seen shit slung so people should always feel safe here. Those are definitely some good photos for your first foray into black and white photo. I'm currently teaching high school photo and I definitely started appreciating the process of developing skills a lot more. As a skateboarder, you naturally have a more interesting view of the world than most people, and I'm pretty sure most people here would agree with that. I especially like the American flag and truck shot!Thanks! Those are my favorites too. I probably could've just posted those, but I figured I'd show a little more
HSS, your pictures are good! Are those scanned prints?Thank you! They're scanned negatives. I just learned how to do that yesterday. And also this goes out to anyone, please feel free to be as critical as you want of anything I do. I'm new to this; I want that, and it'll probably help.
Like Josh said, there are no rules here and everyone is very welcome to contribute. Iphone, DSLR or film photography: everything is welcome. And if you want to have a critique there are many persons here who can HELP you - it's not the skateperception forum.

Yup! The school I teach at is relatively young - it's only 10 years old so I'm really surprised they included a darkroom, but I'm glad they did.

Yeah, it kills me. Even colleges are going that way. I just got some cameras from a friend who saved them from a local community college getting rid of them because they switched to all-digi. I've got absolutely nothing against digital (a significant amount of my work is digital), but I feel like learning on film is the best way to go.

I live in northern finland, on the arctic circle.
The last year or so northern lights have been super active, and there are websites that monitor their activity.
I assume Iceland was amazing enough, even without the auroras!

I'm curious what sort of colors you can see with your naked eye as opposed to what your camera picks up. I shot the Northern Lights in Oregon over the last year and my camera picked up deep vivid purples and yellows, but I couldn't see the color in the night sky. I could visibly see the dancing streams of light, but it looked like white light to me. I imagine in areas where you are, the colors are more visible though.

I like this one - how did you get this effect, Ps? It inspired me to do this:
(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/769/22459315068_ace7e8beba_c.jpg)
It's actually all done in camera with of course some major PS edits. I ran into it on some blog a week ago. Apparently on the Canon Mark 3, there is a mode to do it which even allows you to see the second image in live view so you can align it properly with the textured photo you want blended in it. It takes some time to get the right one but once you have it, it will save as a RAW file and you can go back into PS and just mess with the levels so toy have more blown out whites and darker blacks.

I got an old Agfa camera from my grandfather recently and found some kodachrome inside. I know that they no longer make the chemicals that develop the film but was wondering if there is anything I can do or anyway to get the film developed. Any suggestions are appreciated.Check rockymountainfilm.com, expensive but the only people I can see that still claim to offer the service.
Thanks!

Saw that film processor yesterday. Looks awesome, but I definitely don't have the money to drop $2k on it especially when Jobo's are a fraction of that price.
Yes, that was me. Fucking, fucking, fucking the best fucking show I've ever been to. Bought a LP (dude, do you say an or a LP?), it didn't do much just to their live performance though.

I used Jobos at school for 4x5 film. They're really nice and give you a chance to kinda chill while it's developing. My professor has another processor at his house that you literally just put the chemicals, water, and film tank in, press a button and go read a book for 30 minutes while it does it for you.Expand QuoteHaha thanks.

I have a question about color film. So I know that developing color film is totally different from developing black and white, but what about when you get around to enlarging them? Is that completely different too? I know there's color enlarging paper, but are the chemicals different from black and white too?Yeah, the chemicals are different. I've only had experience actually developing color prints through a processor that I put the chemicals in, but I'm not sure if you can do it in a tray process like b&w. Anyone know?
Ok, thank you. I was just curious. I shot black and white this whole past semester for a class but I'm sort of sick of it and want something new and wanted to know if enlarging worked the same way. I don't even know why I asked now that I think of it, because I'm more interested in just scanning the negatives.Yeah, the chemicals are different.

Developing color film actually isn't that difficult or complicated, but making prints can be a headache, depending on how uptight you are about color tones.
Printing color is definitely worth trying out at least once. It made me aware of the color in my photos A LOT more. But yeah, color film processing is pretty easy too.

hey guys, i'm here with another question. for the photography class i was in this past semester we're required to submit work to a city-wide college art show and going through the submission process they asked for a price if we want our work to be sold, so i figured why not. the only thing is that i have no idea how to price something like that. does anyone have any helpful info?

If you've got some quality shit on your hand, double the prize, do you feel intimidated comparing your photos with poster art sold in stores, lower the prize.

nice one doug! really like the front board as well.I have the Impulse AF which I borrowed from my grandmother but I very rarely use it since I've been really disapointed with Impossible film. I do think there would be a slight delay that's not convenient for skate photography but you can always try. Since you can see the results within half an hour you will know if it's worth it or not. Plus it's autofocus, so it's mostly hit and miss with skateboard pics.
question: does anyone in here have any experiences with a Polaroid 600? i got a batch of film for my birthday and can borrow one from a homie. how is the trigger delay? any chances to shoot (simple) skateboarding with it?

@Cadillac : Was that one yellow night or several ? I've seen those on your insta and the atmosphere is incredible...Thanks dude! It was all one night. Provia really allows for some funky atmospheric colors, but a lot of also is affected by the street lights. Baltimore has been putting in a lot of new LED lights to replace older sodium vapor ones. The LED lights give off a more blueish/whiteish tone, while the sodium vapor ones are a clusterfuck of yellow.
Thank's guys. I go to Lisboa, London and Copenhagen for 3 weeks, mostly to shoot pictures. I hope to get all films exposed.

I'm new to film and I've been sitting on a couple rolls , and had a question regarding getting them developed. What would be less expensive using an online mail service or going to an actual photo lab.? And what is usually the average price per roll?
I so want to go to Oslo and for the northern nights. I went to Iceland and didn't get to see it there but Oslo seems more of a city to explore and and you still get a chance to see the northern lights.
I'm new to film and I've been sitting on a couple rolls , and had a question regarding getting them developed. What would be less expensive using an online mail service or going to an actual photo lab.? And what is usually the average price per roll?I shoot color and get it developed by Walgreens. Their scans are terrible. Like REALLY bad. But I recently invested in a Epson V550 scanner and the photos look amazing. If you have walgreens or costco scan them, you're going to be disappointed. Walgreens does it for $7 which is way more than the actual camera shop in my area, but the shop is over 30 minutes away and I don't have a car at the moment so I can't get out there. Once I have a car I'll probably go out there more often, but at the moment it works.

Thought that interview was tight and your work is real good, are you going to school in the bay? I'm here to if you ever want to link up and shoot.
I can only speak for me, but Film cameras offer the same quality for a way lower price. For skate pics you have a hasselblad with an x-sync of 1/500 for 500 euros, instead of paying 15.000. For snap shots you can get a dirt cheap point and still have the 'chip size' of a 5d.

I hear you on the flash sync for skating, I guess what I'm thinking about is the street photography and random walk around shots. How many pictures can you take on a 35mm film camera before developing and materials cost equals out to a modern digital camera? 16MP dslr's are under $500, and if you are shooting snapshots where you aren't going to use many manual features you can get something for like $200 that will have great image clarity.

I would rather talk about the 'chip' size than megapixels. I spend around 100 bucks on films and developing every month, which seems kinda high at first. But it is for all my 6 cameras together. I guess all together they are worth around 6000 euros, if you find the equivalent digital version (imagine a high quality digital medium format point and shoot ....) it would be worth around 30000. That means the costs for film and cameras would be equal with digital after 20 years.
Thanks for the tips, will definitely check out new software and those glass scanner attachments.Expand Quote(clone-stamping out dust, hair and scratches, colour correction, etc.)[close]
either have a proper lab develop your rolls or be careful when you do it and scratches shouldn't be a problem. invest in some computer duster or one of the squeezable things and there won't be hair and dust. can't suggest much about color correction but perhaps use a different scanning software. silverfast is really good and has presets for different film. also if you are concerend with sharpness you could invest in some better glass for your scanner. http://www.betterscanning.com/ (http://www.betterscanning.com/) "precision" photos can be taken on film if you have the patience.

Not sure where you're located, but when I send my slide film out, I send it to Citizen's in Portland, Oregon. Shipping's cheap and the processing is pretty cheap and fast.

But also, try checking to see if your area has a legit photo processing place. I'm lucky enough to have one in Baltimore.
Just bought my first film camera, a point and shoot olympus stylus epic. Found a cheap one and thought why not. Does anyone have any recommendations/tips film wise? I've heard portra 400 is great but it seems pretty pricey.

^^^^Man, I love all the photos you put up. Really just a fan. Your shit kills.
Are most of your images stacked photos or are you just nailing your pics with one shot? I am going up to Mammoth Lakes tomorrow to try and shoot some stuff. My girl just got me a circular polarize for my Tamron 15-30 and a 10 stop ND filter. Hopefully i can finally get some water fall shots with no reflections and even some milky way stuff. I've never been able to get a good milky way shot where everything is generally exposed from foreground to background.
Any tips on getting something as simple as below where it doesn't look totally photoshopped. Just sit in one area and shoot all different exposures?

Doing some research for a mate. Anyone have any recommendations of a reasonably compact digital camera. Thinking approx USD $300-$400. Open to second hand options. Preferably something that has decent auto exposure functions, has a sharp lens and that is reasonably versatile i.e portraiture, landscape, some actions shots etc. My knowledge of cameras is limited to SLR's so thought I'd check here for suggestions. Thanks in advance for any help!
EDIT: Sony rx100 range sounds good. Anyone tried these out?
does anyone here have any tips rolling 35mm negatives onto the metal hewes reels? I know all the steps from the photo class I'm in but I always get a burn or two on my negatives. Luckily it'll be on an already bad shot or a bail shot but I dont wanna ruin a good shot in the future. I think when rolling it I let the negatives jump the track and touch itself? Also any tips on shooting b&w portraits would be greatly appreciated!
and Mooley youre fucking killing it with all those photos
B&H.
GoodBurger where were those pictures taken?
Matze, do you add the dust and scratches in post ? It does look pretty cool
those are quite nice rickynorse
especially the one with those foxes and the last one. you'll be good with the ae-1...it's one of the best filmcameras to own. I know a bunch of people who's first camera was ae-1, me included.
Don't get your hopes too high with Silverfast... It's probably the best out of these scanning software but still... Very unintuitive, very ugly, vary bad layout... Good result though.
i need to get silverfast. i fucking hate the epson software. currently printing these digitally 24"x36" but would love to have c-type prints done if i could afford it or anybody did it around me.
I am looking to get into shooting more film and right now I just have a camera I found in my parents house that doesnt really allow for too much freedom with settings.

So many good photos in here. Just bought a AE-1 with a couple of lenses for 100 bucks, can't wait to develop my first rolls of film.
I bought one a couple of months ago for my first camera and stopped taking pictures because I had no idea what I was doing. I kind of wish I just bought a digital camera instead. Are you just learning as you go?

Definitely hoping to start adding to this thread a bit more.
It is definitely not as fast as a 5D in terms of menus and reviewing photos. might be the processor or it might be the 42mp files but you have to wait to look at a photo for a bit where as canon/nikon cameras are instant. haven't used the a7ii or a7sii so they might be faster, but i want to print big and i needed 4K for my video stuff so i went with the a7rii. I find sony/nikon colours are accurate but not as pleasing but i still mess a lot in post. i used the portra 160nc- vsco preset in lightroom as a base and then just keep messing until I'm happy. i really would like to do more editorial stuff but its mostly random commercial work. i work as a videographer for algonquin college so that takes up a lot of my time.Expand Quotehttp://jordanpalmerwiens.tumblr.com (http://jordanpalmerwiens.tumblr.com)

I would guess some people on here would know of her. I was only recently turned on to her and goddamn she is good.
Looking into getting a new camera soon. It would be used to take nature photos , sports / skateboarding and to do some filming. I guess what I want from it is to be able to take great photos of high quality , have a fast shutter? so I can take multiple shots a second for "action" shotsif you absolutely need a high frames per second, then the 7D MK2 is a good option, but also look at some mirrorless options or some older full frame canon's like the 5D Mark II/III. All of the cameras will shoot at 1/4000th or 1/8000th of a second. If you want high quality video I would look at sony like the a6300/a6500 or the fuji x-t2. But the best advice is to go to a camera store, bring your own sd card (or buy a fast one there, because you'll need one anyway) and test out the handling of all of the cameras you want to buy. Then compare the files at home and make your decision afterwards. Most cameras can be matched in post but the way you feel when you use it and how usable it is is going to be the ultimate decision maker.
and high quality video
Hercules recommended the Canon 7d mk 2 as I like Canon and have had Canons before
Any views on this camera ? the price range for the 7d mk 2 is about what Im willing to spend
Hey, can anyone point me in the direction of a free version of adobe creative suite?If you download cs6 from a torrent they usually give you instructions on how to block the program from using the internet in the firewall settings. the creative cloud (newest version) uses the internet.
I seem to remember someone saying that outdated versions that were no longer being supported by servers were made available for free (CS2 I believe), but I cant seem to find it.
For people who have traveled on an airplane with film: Have you taken any precautions to protect your film against the security x-rays? If so, what? or is it not really that big of a deal?

I used to have them hand check them at the airport. But now I don't even bother honestly. I believe if its under 800 it won't be harmed. But I have brought so many rolls and then shot them, couldn't tell a single difference.
I thought maybe it would fuck it up but make it look sick? Who knows.
Those are great. What kinda of film are you using? Don't shoot much color but with the Hasselblad I might try some out.
Great pics!
My roomie and I decided to get an enlarger. Yesterday we built everything up, invited some people over for an 8 hour session ...

Ended up getting a nikon F3 for a real good deal with a lens in the realm I had been looking to get for a while. Only shot two rolls on it so far on some real shit film but I'm still really stoked to get them developed. Bout to have access to a darkroom and really looking forward to getting back into developing my own shit. Drunkenly ordered a few rolls of Lomography Lady Grey due to a recommendation from a friend. Anybody ever shoot with it? I usually just stuck to Ilford Delta 400.I'm pretty sure Lomography is just rebranded film. I shot a bunch of rolls of the Earl Grey film and it was some of my favorite black and white films.

Any of you dudes have any film recommendations? I've only shot superia and wanted to try some other stuff.If you're down to drop some money, Portra is a really nice all around film. Ektar is cool if you shoot a lot in the day and want really vibrant colors. If you're more into low/artificial light, Cinestill is definitely worth trying. There's always B&W film too, but just make sure your lab can develop it first.

With my luck there'd be some specific little things to do differently while shooting with it that I'd miss out on.

I don't really like how darker skin tones look with it, I've found that paler skin looks better. Besides that, I would definitely try to think about colors when using it because if you do it right, the film can make colors pop a lot more. I've also had decent luck shooting it with flash in my point and shoot if you're worried about not having enough light.I just got some film for my trip to New Orleans this weekend and grabbed a roll of Ektar100 since I've never tried it before.

Any of you dudes have any film recommendations? I've only shot superia and wanted to try some other stuff.I say just try a bunch of different shit, thats kinda what gets me excited about shooting is just seeing whats gonna happen with these diff films, if you want things to be perfect just shoot some digi, i got about 60 rolls of expired film for dirt cheap 2 years ago and i'm still shooting that, and it's great cuz theyre all random rolls and have expired at diff times. My go to film is illford 3200 black and white you can pretty much be lazy as hell cuz you have so much light latitude and it has so much grain it's pretty much the opposite of digital. Illford 800 black and white has pretty unique looking grain to it if you like grain but crisp film, the illford 400 is really clean. If i'm shooting color i just buy the $2.50 a roll kodak stuff, if i want it to be a little grimier i get some high ISO Lomography stuff, their website carries some pretty interesting films. just try random films you'll find stuff you like.
Got an AE-1 recently. Been a lot fun figuring it out and looking for stuff to shoot.

Anybody have a recommendation for a decent film scanner?When I was looking into this like six months ago the reasonable options I narrowed it down to were the Epson v600, Plustek Opticfilm 7200/8200, and then v700/v750 or whatever they're up to now.
why do you think so?Because i shot this at f2.0- 200, i wanted to shoot it with flashes and a really shallow depth of field, the focusing was the main problem, an inch one way or another would take the shot super out of focus, i had to switch the camera to video mode to get the focus proper. It's a lot of work i just added for something not super noticeable but i think it created a unique image.
I don't want to argue, because I actually like the picture and the trick. But with your explanation does not really make sense to me. We can agree that a digital camera makes things a lil easier. Operating flashes with a flash meter and not being able to see the result right away might seem a bit more complicated. An x-sync of 1/200 can be achieved with many slrs, even 1/500 is possible with medium format cameras, so that shouldn't be a problem.Keeping focus was the hardest part, maybe if i would got it set on a tripod instead of doing hand held, the main issue was at f2 and shooting that far off leaning in our out a tiny bit throws the focus off. A lot of times i would think i got it then i would check and he'd be blurry, to see how finite the focus is you can see his forward hand is out of focus. So if i moved half an inch or he changed his angle a tiny bit the focus would be soft, so i'm more saying i coulda easily blown through a roll of film and got a bunch of blurry shots not so much that it wasn't possible to get the shot.
Damn you guys are really good at this

Damn Mooley, love those. What film are you using, particularly for the second through fourth shots? If it's alright to ask that is.
Good stuff man! Keep it up!
Have to photo-vent a little bit. I've been working at a bookstore for about two years now...
maybe it's a good thing if you apologize to the person and be the bigger person, although that does not help you with the project. the blad will find its own way into new projects.
I made some unexpected cash with working in berlin the past 6 months and just bought a mamiya 7ii ... hope I'm done with buying cameras for a while. shit is addictive.
looked up some reviews on youtube and found this guys channel https://negativefeedback.co.uk/ (https://negativefeedback.co.uk/).
he's into palace, travelling and film cameras, which is a good combination. watched a few of his episodes and he made me want to go out and shoot badly. do you guys have any good links o videos/instagrams or blogs that are great?
Isolite is a system of hardware accessories that attach to your speedlights or studio strobes.
These revolutionary modifiers let you change the light AFTER the image has been captured.
Isolite is not an app!
It does not just lighten, darken, or change the contrast of an image.
It allows you to turn real lights on and off inside the picture.
The effect is instantly captured in a single click of the shutter and stored on a single RAW file, straight out of your camera.
It will allow you to perfectly light (and re-light) the faces, hair, clothing, and surrounding environment without the need for special camera or 3D render.
In fact, no other tool, app, smartphone, or Portrait Mode can do what Isolite Light Modifiers can do.
In the light of the recent flat earth debacle I would your opinion on skateboarding or sports photography - is the photographer documenting the trick (and the progression of skateboarding) or is he "allowed" to push for a creative photographic techniques and possibly ruining the impact of the trick? Ty's use of UWA lens and very quick editing takes away from the gnarliness of tricks and the watchability of the video (forgetability).
I always saw myself as a documenter of skateboarding and used strobes to help skateboarder stand out. I know this can become extremely repetitive for a professional who wants to grow as an "artist". But then again, photography is not rocket science and you should be able to leverage you knowledge of how a trick is going to look like to give a fair representation for the public.
Seeing as a photographer's career is potentially a lot longer than that of a PRO skateboarder, I can see this job becoming tedious and also hard to build a proper mainstream portfolio with. In my view, the skateboarder's effort is worth more and you should only experiment when given permission.
Have the opportunity to take the Annie Liebovitz masterclass online for free. Think I'll do it, you get access to all of the material for a year.I'm all about Herzog's Masterclass, totally worth it. It was incredibly well produced and sold me on them. Tight that you're getting a free link, I'm definitely curious to hear how it is. Paying for Leibovitz without knowing if it's any good I figure is a bit of a gamble. Her late-career lighting and shooting style is famously financially disastrous. Looks like the articles have been pulled so I don't remember the numbers but she once had what was like a $5 mil budget for the Disney portraits and spent like $9 mil shooting them. I'm pulling those numbers out of my ass but the proportions of financial mismanagement were around that scale. Well her money problems extend far beyond (http://"https://jezebel.com/5326583/why-is-annie-leibovitz-broke") her production budgeting but I think it wouldn't be a ridiculous presumption to think this Masterclass might be a good quick moneymaker for her. If you want to learn how she lit the Disney shit you can read about it here (http://"https://madphotoassistant.wordpress.com/"). But then at the same time I don't know why anyone would want to emulate her style. It's unique, pompous, and doesn't look like it'll get trendy again any time soon unless you're interested in shooting perfume campaigns for the rest of your life
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of her work. Her early stuff is great and in the preview for the class it looks like a lot of computer post production that she isn't doing herself. I think there are things to learn from her - decades of experience behind the camera etc. But I'm hesitant because of her shady financial history and that this could just be a fluff piece instructional class. To be honest, I think that $ could better be use toward equipment I need like an eyepiece prism finder for my Hasselblad.her early work is dope for sure.

IF you look at most mags in the last 15 or so years, they are filled with great photos but for the most part they are pretty boring and blah.

Taking into consideration Atiba was under Grant and Swift at Transworld it's no suprise. Especially when all those dudes started TSM, I remember being amazed at how nice the photos were.

This exact line of thought is what made me decide to sell my digital stuff to buy more film gear. The photos that get me the most stoked are old ones from mags growing up like what science_vs_life or memoryscreen post on insta. I looked through the most recent thrasher and was shocked by the fact that not one photo made me want to look at it for more than a couple seconds. Nobody's paying me so I'm gonna make the photos I want to. Plus let's be real it's not that hard to get a simple 1 or 2 flash shot right.Taking into consideration Atiba was under Grant and Swift at Transworld it's no suprise.

If you get a skater that you shoot a lot I'm they'll let you mess with lighting and whatnot as a means to experiment. I've been trying to link up with a homie so I can tinker with this Nikon D7100.
Well yeah, it is nice to experiment, but it is also nice to know you are walking with a usable photo whenever you land a hard trick (from a skateboarder's perspective).As long as the photographer knows what they're doing film is just as reliable as digital with few exceptions (roll of film got cooked in a car or something). People have this weird idea that film is chance based as if it wasn't used on the damn moon landings. The shots may not come out as sterile and perfect as digital but the photog has to fuck up really hard for it to fail to convey the trick.
It's even more critical in filming - you can shoot non-landed sick photos for multiple angles, but when you are filming, you usually stick with one angle. And if that angle/lens combo is the flat earth ... well you know my opinion on that.
Pretty happy with how this one turned out:That's awesome,reminds me of one of my favorites I took

Completely didn't even think about printing a master copy then making copies haha What type of paper did you use for it? The ones I've seen before have been on thicker almost glossy paper close to like a legit photo booklet. The other day I got this skate vid and it actually had a photo booklet in it and that got me thinking that I would love to be able to make something of that quality.
Thanks man that's definitely gonna help me get off the ground and actually know how to start it. I'll have to shop around and find someone that can make a run of them for me that'd be sick.

Great shots!Damn,good to know the price on a fix. Multi X happy accident right there!
The PEN FT is a wonderful camera, there are a bunch of lenses available, you can find some via eBay. The only downfall is that the film advancing gears are plastic (I think) and wear out after a while. Had one fixed for $225 and it lasted about 60 rolls before it wouldn't advance the film again.
You know it's going bad when your negatives look something like these.

Thanks guys!
So far I absolutely love this camera. I've always preferred portrait orientation and the 3:4 image ratio doesn't bother me at all (was afraid it might).
The only gripe I have is the light meter not working right with regular 1.5V batteries. On the other hand using the sunny 16 method has worked surprisingly well and a light meter app on my phone helps too. But just to speed things up and to feel more confident the built in light meter would be a nice thing to have.
I'm on a roll of color negatives now, so we'll see how it works. Maybe I'l just stick to black and white?
I got mine with the 38mm/1.8 and a three month warranty at a camera store for 320 euros. And they have some more bodies for less than 200 euros, so I'm not that concerned about the advancing gears wearing out. But thanks for the heads up!
Here's to more from the first roll:

I had a zine for a couple issues. I worked in the bicycle/skate industries over the years so I have access to some cool shit. I shot with Mike V, the Element team, Real team, and Toy Machine amongst others so we had some pretty sweet content. I miss it actually and am wanting to get back into photography.
Currently researching cameras.

dude thank you, I'll fix that broken link. I hella appreciate this feedback. The photographs are laid out differently according to series because in my head, presentation/content are linked pretty strongly. In the "date stamped" set, the vibe of the photographs is more of like looking through memories, where they're all sort of collaged together in this non-linear,almost mesy way. The "Drifting" series reflects a much more intentional mindset in which i want the viewer to look at each photo on their own without any distractions. the photos in that series are all linked and the sequence matters but i still want the viewer to only be focusing on each photo at a time.
I'm also not really trying to sell my photographs to a company/have a website for that purpose. i wanted a website mostly for opportunities to collaborate with other like-minded people. I put that stuff about what i do for "work" work because the whole rest of my site is focused on my creative work. I kinda just want to attract other creatives/groups/whatever who have similar interests as me, (in education, community organizing,etc).In terms of getting work through my website i was wondering if i should put a byline or something in my about me, like "available for commissioned work, assignments, etc"

thanks man, i use squarespace so its pretty easy to change it up, ill have to mess with different gallery set ups cause i deff agree with the spacing being needed.
I love your skate photos , the lighting/timing is on point and the spots look interesting. I think it could benefit from having each photo spaced out a bit between them, it would allow the viewer to see them better and more fully appreciate what's going on.
i really like those, the black and whites look sweet, the hockey ones have nice grainy film look. what did you shoot those with?
damn thats awesome, makes me wanna shoot film but im too lazy and broke, i shoot with a fuji x100f alot, and it comes pretty close to giving that film feel naturally.Expand Quotei really like those, the black and whites look sweet, the hockey ones have nice grainy film look. what did you shoot those with?[close]
The black and white was Film Washi "A" while the hockey photo with the blue tint was either Revolog 460nm or 600nm I don't remember. And the other was Cinestill 800T.
Ayo, for dudes on here who know more about photography than me I've got some curious questions. First let's start with some styles. I'm a pretty big fan of these people's photos:

- https://www.instagram.com/noealz/?hl=en //// http://www.noealz.com/
The latter has tutorials and such so I think I understand how they edit along with what they're looking for better. For the former, what's she doing exactly? I get that she's post processing the hell out of it but as to aperture, ISO, shutter speed, etc... Can you guys spot a trend? And also what would you guess she's doing when she edits them?

I don't know man, with that much editing (to me) you may as well just paint pictures instead of make them.

idk what youre really asking here, but it seems like marilyn just messes with split toning, just adding a hue/color to either the bright parts of the photos or the darks.. probably just slides it over to purple/blue and gets that overall tone.
easily done in lightroom if you have it...

Yeah, that's basically what I was asking. I've been playing around with photos and use those settings - Noealz usually adjusts those for all of his as well. I'm never able to get mine to turn out all too similar to either but maybe it just takes practice. I have had photos turn out pretty sick though just not consistently.

Best camera I’ve ever owned, downfalls are no interchangeable lenses but they do make like pop on lens attachments, and if you shoot with flashes and pocket wizards, it’s hard to turn the dials on top when you have the wizard in the hotshot plate.
If you got the money, I highly recommend it. Feels and looks like a 35mm rangefinder, and has some cool film preset filters or whatever they’re called

How do you respond to different reactions from people that you try to shoot in the streets? Are you more assertive and say something like "Cmon you look amazing" or more passive like "oh i wasnt making a photo of you".

Thinkin’ about getting a medium format camera, something cheap(ish) to mess around with but not a toy like a holga.
Any suggestions?
that's what I would recommend (found a bronica c for 180 Euros with a 75mm lens on german ebay now). There are also TLRs like mamiya c330 or a yashica mat 124.
other then that: look for the Hasselblad. it's damn good.

when i was in school they gave us a mamiya 645 afd ii to use for the year and soon after we got the leaf aptus digital back. thing was so heavy but the photos were unreal, it sucked giving that back after graduation knowing ill never use gear like that again.[close]
That's nuts! I'd love to try some of that stuff out. Perhaps you have done things like this before but I've been so pleased with just an epson 550 scanner for 120 negatives. I also use a canon pixma pro 100 and aim to print one 13x19 print a week. Those scanners can be found super cheap on offerup, craigslist, etc I got mine for $75. Also that printer isn't the best out but makes beautiful professional level prints and due to a coupon that came with the new 5d body for a free printer there are still a decent amount floating around. ended up getting mine for $80 with ink new.
Maybe you've done printing and scanning at home but I've been so surprised by the quality and cost effectiveness of this lil setup for film. Not to ramble on but modding the ink cartridges to be refillable is SO easy and saves me loads on ink. literally cut $110 dollars for ink to $8. Crazy what they charge.
Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteI’m not a huge film guy but the mamiya 6 is so sweet. Just a hassle getting medium format film and developing it.
New year is about to start and I’m considering trying to shoot a photo a day for a year, I probably come close doing that without trying but it would be cool to shoot edit and post a pic daily. Anyone ever take that task on?[close]

YO i have the same printer, i love it. ive printed a bunch from it. havent scanned anything in years because i havent shot medium format in years, but i wouldnt mind getting a decent medium format twin lens camera one day, but until then its a canon 80d and fujix100f

Photography is tough like that. I think one of the hardest things is the disappointment and dry spells, but it's also motivation to shoot more, read more, learn more. Even when it comes to famous photographers, some bodies of work that are shot over multiple years will only result in a couple dozen keepers.

the camera has all I've been looking and being larger format I can make some good landscape photos or such..

i´m a really big fan of your stuff, so "critique" is kinda far fetched. i personally would try to go for less photos to kinda feed the need to see more stuff, but i know how incredibly hard it is to choose stuff. also, from a business perspective, your approach might be the better one. in the end it all comes down to personal preference, and i think you managed to make a site that will be well received all around. great stuff, and i am kinda jealous of you and your position, but you definitely earned it.

Just stumbling onto this thread now and creeping. Richard, you've got some super sick stuff on there. I'm usually more for shooting sunrise instead of sunset and it appears that you are as well from the looks of some of those. I've dabbled in some astrophotography as well but I just haven't had the time to go out as much as I want. I usually have to pick and choose my photo adventures and they usually end up more wildlife driven instead of landscape driven for the past 3-4 years. But I have all of these Eastern Sierra spots picked out for lake/milky way reflection shots I want to do.
That makes me want to build a website instead of just loading it all into Flickr and having it sit...but I'm not actively trying to sell photos either so it would be a pure vanity play I guess.

A $20 light table (tablet) and the FilmLab app on your phone is better than that Lomo thing. I waisted $60 to find that out.
I started shooting film last December when I saw a Ray Barbee interview on Think More Shoot Less. Wait? All I need is a bag and a can and I can develop my own film?!
Not fully understanding what I just watched I quickly googled "ray barbee's camera" and found that I was going to need a couple more thousand dollars then I had. I googled "cheep range finder" and found a world of great classic cameras that I could afford.
10 cameras later and I'm getting a little more comfortable with my picture taking. Still haven't found the camera I like the most. I think it's the Pentax MX, I got because that is what Glen E Friedman used, or my Yashica MG-1 are my favorites.
I love developing my own film. When I got prints at a shop I was so devastated to pick them up from someone who saw my shitty ass pics.
I got the Epson V600 to scan my negative's so I can see them before I get the prints. I use the VueScan software 'cause of a YouTube vid that I saw and liked
Still learning, I barley just learned about the Sunny 16

I got the light table to look at my negatives but then I realized that I did't know what I was looking at.
People with more talent then me could use a lightbulb and the FilmLab app and get a better effect than me. So it's pretty much free all-around.

Nice stuff! Not sure if it was one of the new ones added, but I really like that purple flower shot. Also that tennis court ollie photo is super rad.
This isn't necessarily a criticism, but have you thought about having a way to see every photo in each category where you then can click on one and expand it? I'm sure every layout has a plusses and minuses, but if you were to try to find a specific photo or wanted to see everything on your site, it would take a long time scrolling through each individual carousel. Just a thought when checking it out, but great work overall!
Picked up a Contax TVS yesterday for $70 and it looks mint and functions. Excited to run a roll through it and see if I prefer it or my Ricoh GR1 better. Both are sick but my LCD on the Ricoh is shot, makes using other modes a pain. Either way, pumped on a cool camera at a good price.
Is there any benefit to having a 100 megapixel camera for the average photographer? I would assume that this would only really be necessary if you were blowing up an image to put on the side of a billboard.
The files must be massive which be a pain to manage too

Anyone try developing and printing film? Bought a pretty nice film camera, but going to the film store all the time would be expensive and time consuming.it takes me 30min to get 2 bw rolls developed (I got one of those mid size Paterson tanks), while it takes me 10 minutes to bike to the lab. you gotta invest first in good darkroom equipment to save some money.
Plus I bought a bunch of expired film, so you never know if the roll is even any good before it's developed. Is it easy to screw up and ruin the film, and how precise do you need to be with the timing and temperatures to get a decent result?
Also, is there anything more to printing than just projecting it on one of those papers? Think my grandparents still have one of those old slide projectors, and I was thinking about trying to use that thing to print

I mostly shoot street photography around Tokyo.
I've been thinking about purchasing my frist digital camera for skate stuff. shooting film only is damn expensive (36 tries= 15-20 euros) ... I have good canon ef lenses (15mm, 50mm 1.4 and a 135mm f2) so I guess a used 5d would be the cheapest option. does anyone have experiences with the mark I or II?

I would highly recommend a 5dii. I've had a few of them and they're great. Really good image quality and you can buy them super cheap on ebay. I bought one recently for $650 AUD (€394). Try to get one with a low shutter count (under 50,000 is what I was looking for) as the shutters do eventually fail but I think they're rated to approx 250,000.
Full frame is essential if you've ever used a cropped sensor. I won't ever go back.
I've used them for shooting skating heaps. Only weakness I can think of is at 4 frames per second it's not quite fast enough for professional level sequences but still ok if you've got a slowish trick.
Let me know if you've got any questions and I'm happy to help out

Good advice with the shutter count. I never had any digital camera (besides an iphone), so some stuff is new to me. There is a reason why everything smaller than 35mm died in photography so I will not go for anything smaller haha. X-sync with 1/200 seems okay too with the 5d mark ii.
What program do you use for editing and how much time do you spend on a single picture?

Can anyone recommend a good beginner slr camera? I've only messed around with point and shoots from goodwill.
Hey Slap film photographers, what is your go to film ? I shot a lot of Portra and HP5 but I am quite bored of always using the same films for like 5 years.. Since i do a lot of portrait for my work (I mostly shoot bands for promo pictures / records covers) I want to experiment something new, get out of my comfort zone but don’t know. Fujifilm ? Or Kodak Ektar ? I read so much things on the internet but most of the tests / articles / videos I looked at were made by YouTubers / bloggers I don’t relate to.
I don’t mind using old / expired films so if you have recommandations. I have never tried « alternatives » like Cinestill for example.
I mostly shoot film with my Contax G2 + flash for info.
Thanks

Dropped a month's worth of film photos on my friend's website! These were mostly shot on my Nikon FM with Kodak Gold 200 and Cinestill film. I'm really surprised at how well Kodak Gold does in all lighting situations and I'll definitely be shooting a lot more of it.

I really like how these photos look.
I want to start taking pictures when I go out but I don't really know where to start. I have a ae 1 I think, but I don't really want to bring something that big out. I would prefer to just buy a point and shoot camera, but my photos won't look anything like @Made In China ,right? Also all three pictures look so different from one another in terms of color, how does that happen? Is that messing with the settings or is it the lighting of the rooms? If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it!

As others have already said, the best way to learn about taking photos and the process of it would be to take your AE-1 out with you and practice with it. That was also my first SLR camera and what I used to shoot photos for years. Having a SLR camera like an AE-1 isn't as fun, simple, or pocketable as a point and shoot, but it'll force you to learn how shutter speed, aperture, and other factors will affect your photos.
The AE-1 also isn't that different from the Nikon FM that I used to shoot these three photos. They look so different from each other primarily because of the lighting in each. All three were shot in artificial light, but very different kinds of them. The first was in the harsh fluorescent light of a thrift store, and fluorescent light tends to come out with a green tone in most films. The second was in a combination of fluorescent and neon lights of a local fast food place, which evened each other out and led to that cinematic kind of lighting that I like a lot. The third one was in a very dimly lit venue (remember being able to go to live shows??), which is why the lighting is so drastically orange-y red, as that was the only light hitting the signer. That photo is also a double exposure, which you could also do with your AE-1.
Sorry if that's a lot of info, I've been shooting film photography for a couple of years now and love to share what I've learned. I'm also stoked that you dug these photos up from over a year ago and like them so much! Feel free to DM me here if you have any other questions, because I'm always happy to help! You can also find me on instagram @hihaoareyou.
Hi, does anyone have a recommendation of a fisheye lens to use with a canon dSLR?Full frame or crop sensor?
I'm looking for something to use for skating so preferably a lens that is sharp and quick to auto focus.
Maybe the Canon 8-15mm f4 L lens?

I admit i don’t really know anything about modern lenses but why a fisheye zoom?
If your body is fullframe, i doubt it has much use at it’s widest for skating and if it’s a crop sensor the 15mm is pretty useless, no?
Or do you want a fisheye that works with any sensor size?

The 2012 answer would be the cheap samyang (and equivalents under other names) 8mm
I want a signature photo of a few skaters. Should I just hit them up on the gram and be like I'll send you a painting I made and you can send me a photo?
Canon made the 15mm f/2.8 fisheye too but you would have to find that used somewhere. Sigma has one too but not sure how the focus is.

The Fuji X100 series are excellent. I’ve used a slightly older model as a travel camera and as a backup to my full kit, I work as a photographer, several times with excellent results. Never used the Leica, but only obvious advantage I see is that the Leica has a zoom lens, while the Fuji is a fixed 35mm lens equivalent. I love that about the Fuji, but it really depends on your needs and style of shooting. Fuji is smallish, and durable, good colors and simple to set up and use.

Thanks! I’m 99% positive I’m going to grab the Fuji. I’ve been reading/watching a ton of reviews the last day or 2 and I’m pretty sure it’s the one. I don’t NEED the zoom and I feel the features of the Fuji are the better option. I especially like their film simulation. I don’t mind the fixed lens, I know that if I went with something like the X-Pro3 I would end up needing a bag for lenses. The X100 is small enough to fit into everyday life without having to do much extra.

I have the OG x100. I haven’t kept up with what’s changed but I’m a fan of the system. Compact and well organized controls, physical shutter/aperture control, and just a very capable system that you can carry everywhere.
My only issue is slow AF but that’s more related to the age of the camera. I’m sure the newer ones are quick.

this photo is awesome .. you’re a great photographer fongstarr
GR’s are a really nice camera, I can’t believe how functional it is for the size. You really have no excuse not to have it with you at all times.
My only fault is I find the 28mm lens to wide, but I did hear they’re coming out with a 40mm version of it after all these years which I’m excited for.
So been going to Pier 7 here and there just to shoot some photos of skaters before it gets capped again. I saw Rob G was there with Rodrigo Peterson and Steve Nesser. Shot some stuff of mostly Rodrigo and met them after too when they saw me with the camera.
Obviously very Instagram type of photos with the long lens but I thought it was something different anyways.

Hey guys, I’m planning on trying to do a photo exhibition sometime this year for the first time and I want some advice.
I take exclusively film photos, currently sorting out hundreds of my past negatives, and trying to shoot a new series to exhibit. I want to know what’s the standard to print film photos for exhibitions? Is there a standard for print for selling works? I’ve only printed at cheap local printers, but is there some specifics I should keep in mind?
Also if anyone knows some good zine or photobook printing places that can ship at a reasonable rate to Asia (I live in Japan) I’d love to create a nice zine or photobook.

really nice. What is up with the baby in the snow disco?
Anyone going for the X100VI?
Just did some photos of my roommate, the one who got me into skateboarding.

Caught some nice light and I like the shadows in the ollie photos. I don’t like that background blur you did in post. Looks very unnatural. If you want to shoot wide open on bright days for shallow depth of field, you could look in getting neutral density (ND) filters. They cut down the light. I use them all the time for video work.
