I'm still enjoying shooting random whatever (street? documentary? bah, who cares?) and posting it on Tumblr.

Here's the last few decent shots I got:

I just downloaded DaVinci Resolve so maybe I'll mess around and try to shoot/edit some video later this week.

and have consistency in style and framing that works. would be a nice series

I love black and white pictures

i enjoyed viewing these shots. I especially liked the one in front of the metropolitan.

Fuji crew

Bronica ETRSi
waiting on film and shutter release cable

not sure what i'm gonna do but i have some projects in mind

any tips? who else has shot MF?

used to shoot 645 with a Mamiya 645 Pro
pretty fun but probably would have to watch out for camera shake ( hence why people recommend mirror lockup when shooting )

but I was in a place in life where I could not afford it - film, developing, etc

i only break it out for special stuff like landscapes in brazil this summer. one of its advantages is capturing crazy detail, so make good on that by printing BIG. landscapes, ruins, textures, scenery, architecture

Sharing the world @ www.JySbr.net

in a fashion / nekkid phase right now
probably gonna do some way different stuff soon tho

i just developed my own color film
you dont even know

ordered the kit
i had some film lying around but decided to just shoot up a bunch of it so i could maximize the amount of time i have

finally had enough and got ready. got everything lined up
mixed up the stabalizer
but completely fucked up the blix. i didnt read the pack and mixed the dev with blix B.
so i had to order another kit
shit came today and i was determined. had a shitty day so i needed some meditation time

got everything set again. started mixing blix A but when i was trying to put the pack down so i could use both hands, started spilling the powder all in the sink. :(

but luckily i still had the pack i never got to mix so i started over

start pouring it in, but the spout of my funnel is so long, it dips into the water, wetting the powder and clogging the exit. i had to get a toothpick and try to loosen it up and angle it so it goes into the bottle. it took like 5 minutes but it seemed like 20. finally got it going and the rest of the mixing went smooth-ish

the developing went fine, but apparently my tank is SUPER leaky so i had to stick to agitation

and it worked.
my god.

soo much effort for this.

now i have to decide whether i want to continue my medium format portrait series in B/W or color

Nothing spectacular. Def prefer using medium format, but just being able to develop color is so liberating

i'm trying some Kodak Vision3 50D in my Holga 135 Pan since now i can finally do panoramas in color.

color chemicals are really toxic and folks would say not to do it at home. and i mix them at my job since we have an ancient color machine for printing but we don't allow color film developing

Been lookin to get into instagram, as i'm only using flickr right now and paying for it!
But it seems like such a struggle to upload the pictures in a nice way: adding a white bar for the right proportions, wanting to work from the computer and not mobile, the pictures are displayed really small and the image quality seems to suffer pretty bad. so how do ya'll approach this ? (talking bout dslr-pics of course)

It depends on whether you're using iOS or Android. If you have Lightroom mobile, Dropbox, or an Eyefi card, it's pretty easy to get them on your phone.

If you go the card route, editing with Snapseed or Lightroom mobile, and VSCO will be enough.

If you insist on working on the desktop since that's where the sausage is usually made, just export it so it's no bigger than 8mb or so so you don't kill your phone.

Instagram no longer forces you image to be a square, but it will appear cropped in you gallery. If you wanna get around that, you can use a photo framing app like SquareSize.

Other than that, use the small size of insta to your advantage. Because of the resolution, you can post those ones that you like that aren't tack sharp enough to print or post full res; no one will be able to tell. This also means you can use it as a space to be a little more relaxed and experimental. It doesn't have to mirror your portfolio. Create material specifically for Instagram, which is probably gonna be less boring.

your instagram is dope.

i figured it went without saying, but...

especially since you are shooting what looks like alot of film. I have been actually shooting alot of film lately; just havent had the extra cash to go develop it and scan. PS what are you using to scan with? whatever you are doing; it really holds up to the integrity of film's look

it doesnt have the film holders so i have a piece of glass that i put down for distance and scan it through the film pages.

i just scan at 3200dpi. i dont really do anything special. I develop all my own stuff.

the tones and compositions are on point! very minimalistic! can't wait for more man

was about to upgrade from Rebel status into the big leagues.

had to shoot an for an event i was supposed to only be doing
all i had was a 400d so i bought a Sigma 17-50 off ebay
managed to come out ok but it was a terrible experience
camera just couldnt cut it
and i didn't even make enough to cover the lens i bought
so i sold all that shit and got crazy deal on a barely used Fuji X-E2

EXTREME upgrade. I played with one when it came out and it was aight.
but with the new firmware, its basically an XT10 in a different body
I'm on vacay next week so i'm probably gonna get out before sunrise and play with it a few days

//

So i also bought a EZ540 speedlite (which ended up being useless). I'd been using it for studio (read: living room) portraits and product stuff on the Bronica and playing with it on my other 35mm and the Pentax Q, but the problem was, i didn't have the money for a trigger.

Has anybody used the FlashQ joints? I looked at some reviews and ordered a set.

you can find Pocketwizard Transcievers; 150 for a pair, shit it might be even cheaper now. I bought my triggers about 2 years ago. changed the batteries only once or twice and they have been legit. Does Yognuo make triggers? Their flashes are the best bang for the buck IMO

i feel like he should be the focal point of the image. just an opinion friend!

Those boards in the foreground steal focus, but if you crop them out, it's a lot stronger, with the man at the "power point" of the frame, and you get more of the scene.

But then, I like to use negative space, as the last image here can attest (NSFW): https://kcampbellshoots.wordpress.com/fine-art/

though now that you mention it, i do see how they 'steal the show'

thank you.

I have a trust 40d which I've had forever.
With it I tend to really like shooting with short prime lenses.
I've found that as much I loved shooting I really really REALLY hated dealing with getting files off the cards.

Now, I do understand that the 40D is an older model and uses the old CF card standard. I found it to be glacially slow when uploading. At this point I tend to shoot and shoot and NEVER EVER edit anything because I hate waiting and hour or two hours to get the goods.

So, for myself I want something that offers up an aps-c or above sized sensor + manual modes + excellent night shooting + fast uploads + comes in a smaller form - I love the way the 40d feels in hand but its pain in the asshole to carry

I'm open to mirrorless/m43/rangefinders/etc


Second thing is potentially wanting to buy a camera for my girlfriend.
She is an instagram addict. Is there a camera out there thats the next step above an iphone that is small in size that offers up quick image sharing via ibeam cards or the like?

XE1/2, X-Pro1/2, Xt1/2?

I've been shooting with my bridge cam (Fujitsu S4500) for a while now and I'm about ready to go to DSLR (I used to shoot with an EOS RT I copped for the low at a pawn shop back in '92 and sold in '96).

However...

I ain't about to spend a grip of cash on it. I'm looking at some older bodies to get a bit more "serious" with photography before I decide to go at it hard and buy a new joint. I'm looking at Canon EOS 10D and a few others around $70-$80 on ebay. Any of y'all got suggestions?

does really well in low light. so does d300. nikon d70 if you're not concerned with that. all are old models and are likely low priced but the latter two don't do video, but i think the d300S does. do you have canon lenses still? these models can use / meter old nikon lenses going back decades.

I've never really been much for Nikon. In the 80's I had a Pentax then a Canon joint my stepfather gave me. I also had a Kodak point and shoot joint that I actually took most of my best pics with it, just like now with my Kodak C913 point-and-shoot over the Fujitsu joint. I actually still have two 35MM point and shoot cameras from the 90's, one of which still has a roll of film in it I've been meaning to get developed. For that matter... I have probably 5 or 6 disposables I've been meaning to get developed too... Might actually do that next week.

The lenses went with the camera. Figured I wouldn't have much of a use for them anymore once I sold the body, so they went with it.

I don't care much about being able to record video with it, just take decent pictures. Low light might be an issue though, and I think these days I'd be open to Nikon stuff more than years ago as long as the price is right. Also, I'm not caring about resolution as much with it but I think 6MP is gonna be my cut-off.

still an amazing camera

I'm not going that high until I'm sure I want to go back to doing it with any sort of serious intent.

an old $70 DSLR aint gonna really showcase anything a DSLR can do these days

i vote for a D90 or a t2i or something to test out or check out LensRentals or Borrow Lenses

but i mean, if you shoot more with a P/S and getting what you want, you may wanna just upgrade to one of these CMOS mirrorless joints. Aint really no point in getting a bulky expensive camera you're not gonna use much if you aint making no money off of it. its not much difference other than the crop factor.

unless i'm mis-reading. you looking for features or are you just trying to see if handling a body feels right? if thats the case the i guess get one of those cheap old ones

a good friend was selling me 5D + t3i body + 4 lens all for $2500

ive been having a hearty laugh this morning

And I dig the idea of your photoproject. Same place, 365 ways.

i'm always afraid to rock the dslr (even if it's a piece of shit) cuz i don't want to draw too much attention.

Then I've also read that dslrs arent at risk of being stolen like Iphones are.

The samba school was in the hood. But the folks in there dancing were used to tourists with cameras. Now when we were chilling outside having a beer, the young lady that showed us about the samba school told me to keep it in my bag.

we were there for 10 dys and this was the only place I felt comfortable shooting people with my digital cam and not my camera phone.

Not worth getting stabbed up for though. I had a few run ins already even without the camera to scream tourist to the locals. Street photography opportunities are crazy nice there though. I might get a shitty film camera just to fuck with in the city.

Countryside is more chill though and I didn't stress having the camera there.

When I was there I didn't want to pull out my dslr at night. The daytime I just felt like a goofy tourist with the thing sometimes. I didn't feel in danger though. It really just depended on my mood and how I felt about my surroundings.

Thats DEF not Rio. Looks like heaven tho.

And I am not talking cheesy kmart photos or mall glamour shoots.

I am talking magazine quality celebrity profile type of shots. I think it could be cool and fun.

I want 30 years from now for my grand kids to see how much of a bad mama jamma their mom was.


Anybody got ideas where I to look for a photographer for something like that in New York who won't break the bank.

i'm really stuck on what exactly i'm supposed to be looking at in a system

and i'm still shooting and loving it.

making a zine to put out in the summer
working on getting an exhibition in the fall.

Loving the color saturation and the ability to stop up more than the kit lens for better low light shooting.

the real journey can begin.

that's a freakin dangerous thought for the loving camera-owner, talking about taking the camera to the beach or dessert. any of ya'll with some experiences?
Anyways, it all turned out well (taped a lens hood on a zip-up bag) and my recent Morocco-trip was a joy. Some impressions are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/puerto_nico
