AHAHA^^ jokers....get little light stand/tripods mate...a lot lighter and usually a fair bit smaller....and hopefully not as expensive :)

[ShIfTeD]

i need them real sturdy though since their main purpose is for live band shows, lots of stomping around on stages, got 3 72" tripods for $35...free shipping

[youthcrewdoof]

they should use their heads before they pull shit like that. What did the kids do to deserve to not get to see the torch..


just read in the metro today that the torch did end up making its way to sick kids hospital.


LOL shifted that flash picture is awesome

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hey pal, I've posted many shots from my m6. granted they are a bit over exposed, it's tricky getting used to the spot meter and the zone system when I'm used to modern matrix meters in my digital cameras.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I shoot this thing every single day, however I don't get shit developed for months at a time. Believe it or not, I don't shit myself getting them developed in time for BS to see them.

Shifty, who tagged on their SB-600!! You can forget about selling it!

you sure bout that?

Clean your sensor.

And they are relatively boring, nicely shot technically but lack any real substance.

In my opinion anyway.

dont really plan on selling it, but it was a prisma silver marker, not too worried about it, nothing a little bit of denatured alchahol wont get rid of

i cant do that strap man, believe me, i wanna rock it, but my minds saying theres just no way...i love that red strap, i think it fits much more than the early 60's zigzag print does

maybe someday...maybe someday

this has alot of potential...the reflection off the water is butter, work with that shit

what ekipse said, clean your sensor

try to make your shots stand out more, gain a better perspective on your subjects to make them "pop"

idk if your using a point and shoot or a dslr but definetly turn your iso down and if you can, get a tripod...it'll do you just right

your into centering your subjects in the picture...stray away from that..the can of shitty montana, and the lava lamp are the same..use the rule of thirds

theres no real "art" going on in these photos...use your creative instinct to get shit moving...theres nothing creative about centering a can of spraypaint or a lava lamp

my 2 cents

[ekipse1]

I hate 'art' photography, it's so fucking cheesy. Pictures of night cityscapes, train tracks, spraycans, blades of grass, etc etc etc. It's been done a hundred zillion fucking times before. Photographs should be interesting and fresh, there should be a reason to be looking at it, if you are staring at a photograph wondering what you're looking at, or thinking, thats kinda pretty, but not making you think of anything else, then it's either for work or it's shit.

Sorry, but really guys, take some decent photos, take some risks. Enough of the night time scenery shots freight yards and spraycans.

[SAID]

Tricker, I dont know if you have lightroom or photoshop, but definately try to get rid of some orange/red in the shot and crop it down to where the water starts at the bottom.

theres nothing wrong with taking "that kind of photo" but make it your own and make it stand out from the rest

btw, giving an art aspect to his photos means doing something unique that actually takes skill

anyone can take a picture, but it takes a true artist and a true photographer to take a good photograph

hence why i said "theres nothing creative about centering a can of spraypaint or a lava lamp"

[thesecks]

centering isnt always bad

to break the rules your going to have to know the rules first, inside out

hehe, dumb shots. The D700 is amazing, using even shitty lenses like the E series 50 in the last shot, for some reason come out sooo sharp, far sharper than on my D300. Amazing. So happy.

i'm taking a lot of pics and am always getting the fucking flash showing up hard in a lot of flics. how can i avoid that?

and, how about taking flics at night or in the dark withouth a fucking flash lighting all the wrong shit and fucking up the pic.

i'm not a photographer so no need to school me like a kid, i dont give a fuck. i'm just taking flics. so what you saying?

[UpstateHate585]

if you are using the flash from the camera, its gonna be harsh. i would try to use it as little as possible. depends on what camera u have for night shots really, if u have a point and shoot, your pretty much SOL.

Thats ideal??? Means it will probably go at that price before anyone notices.

if you have a dslr, you should get an external flash that will fit in your hot shoe. Any good external, will have the ability to swivel/adjust where the flash points. if you point the flash upward or bounce the light off a wall behind you, you'll loose the hard shadows in your faces. investing/ making a diffuser will also soften the flash

[ekipse1]

just bought it.

It's not even over yet.

sucks, I have enough money in hand to buy a m6 and a lens.
I could buy it right now.

Sorry for the bad quality. Scanners broke so I took a pic of the pic.

I want to go there so bad.

Aw hell, it went for 699. I'm crying here. I want an M4 so bad.

[kmcdon3960]

I like that pic of the empire state building, the fog really sets the mood.

NYC can be a pretty rough place, but it's my favorite place to be. Last time I was there we were at the bar until 4am, which is a treat since they close at 1 where I live.

They are open till 7am sometimes 8 in my city.

[Caution: Flammable]

Lol. The city is pretty hectic. I live on long island though, a friend of mine convinced me to go there with him, so I figured Id take some flicks while i was there. Was a fun day too. I probably have more pics laying around from that day, Ill post em when I get a chance.

One from my last trip to nyc.
This was inside the lit lounge, taken with my (now broken) electro 35. It sounded like the exposure was around 1/2 sec, go yashica go!

[Robbie P]

i hate nyc. ive never been to a place with so many people, yet felt so alone.

[ekipse1]

You guys living so close, it costs me nearly 3 grand NZ to get there, and thats only flights. It's like a dream that may actually never come true.

[Caution: Flammable]

3 grand?!?! from where??

[youthcrewdoof]

NYC is pretty crazy. after being there for 15 hours you just feel like the air is made of lead and i get a headache.
took this when i was in NYC i dont have a scan of it just the 11x14 print and frame that i sold for $400.
sorry for the shitty image.

[Fury]

funhouse - I'm hella digging that last picture, looks sick.
Actually, come to think of it, everything on this page is pretty good; digging those scans a lot.

I'm split between a D3000 and a Rebel XS. Both are the same price but I'm not quite sure what to get. (I was going to get a D40, but I can't find it in any stores.) Probably going to use it for regular street stuff and skateboarding shots.

Another question: I'm really new to DSLR's and I want to buy a circular polarizer filter for the lens, but I'm not sure how big of one to buy for either camera. How can I find out?

[kmcdon3960]

funhouse: I think those would look nicer if you adjusted the whitebalance a bit, def. shifted to the pink/red

ak: that's $2100 usd, and absolutely ridicilous for airfare.
I just looked up philly to auckland flights and they're anywhere between $1200 - $2400. Unbelievable.

Might be cheaper to spend a few weeks on a boat?

[UpstateHate585]

fury- go online, u can find d40s there. and i was in radioshack last night and they had one. i was surprised. i dont think the d40s are made any more. they have the d40x now.

[Fury]

Actually, I checked everywhere but Radio Shack.
And I don't have a credit/debit card at the moment, otherwise I'd buy one online. To not fill the thread with non-pictures, if you have answers or suggestions to the other two questions, PM me please.

[ShIfTeD]

best buy.

Such great cameras, but both of mine are broken :(

I'd get the rebel XS, but I'm already a canon owner so I'm bias.

It's not the camera that makes interesting pictures

dip a Qtip in a small amount of rubbing alcohol to clean it before you print it.

art shows, friends, family, online, print swaps.

"its not what you know, its who you know"


you also gotta loose a little to gain a little. when i first started printing my own shit i just gave away all my 8x10 prints.

And, I just can't get enough of this cunt. I been doing a lot of street work lately since discovering 'hyper focal distance', I don't know how I did it before I knew about this.

Just picked up a minolta srt101 for $10 at the goodwill, but the shutter doesn't work (of course)
Main reason I got it was because it's got a 28mm lens, I've been wanting a 28mm for a long time now. I might actually pay the $120 to get the camera fixed, just to be able to use the 28 :D

[MoNkEy]

I probably won't be getting this repaired after all, it's more then the camera is worth.

You want it shifted?

yer 10mm is where its at!! fisheyes are cool...but a 10mm is a lot more practical in the long run :)

Also this is the first time ive ever shot something like this yesterday so any crit is welcome and will be helpful!! Being slightly drunk, and having a camera gets you anywhere...i chilled for the whole of high contrasts set in the dj booth haha!!

Using my Nikon d40x, 10-20mm sigma, and my velbon flash gun with a diffuser filter thing...mostly shot on 1/2 Second, f8 iso800 at 10mm...

This right here. That's why I bought the sigma 10-20

Do you have the f4-5.6 or the newer 3.5-5.6?
I got the older f4 version, Great Fucking Lens.

[MoNkEy]

ahha thats tecno jesus...was wearing some skinny, right ass jumper...was funny as fuck...he was skanking all night long...true legend....but yer its the f4-5.6 :)

^ That sheriff is dumb as fuck.

Monkey - Your second picture makes me want it in a frame. Seriously, it looks awesome.
kmcdon - The red is a nice touch, but add a border (even if it is one px)?

[thesecks]

lol high contrast doesnt look like a drum n bass DJ

I wanna get a 10-20 so bad, but i dont have a spare £400 for it and then another £500 odd for a body that will autofocus it

[-Empty-Can-]

I would punch that sheriff in the face. He acts like he knows everything.

what about yours, you fat fucking slob
hahaha jackass..

what an ignorant fuck.

[Robbie P]

that kid with the camera is fucking stupid. there's no reason to be an arrogant dickhead to the police. he could of just answered the dudes questions and showed him some ID and been done with that.

[kmcdon3960]

I agree that he could have handled the situation better, however I would have also stood my ground, and I would have definetly refused to show ID. It's you're right, and you shouldn't give them up.

I would have been a little nicer about it though.

[theorist]

that kid with the camera is fucking stupid. there's no reason to be an arrogant dickhead to the police. he could of just answered the dudes questions and showed him some ID and been done with that.

Exactly. I don't see why people try and act all tough to the police. I mean you don't gotta be a complete sucker to them, but do exactly what they say and the only thing that should be coming out of your mouth is "No, sir" or "Yes, sir" 70 percent of the time. I was in situation with the police when I was caught in the act and I was looking at jail time, but I did exactly what I just said and I was off on my merry way within 30 minutes.

[dinedgc]

it doesn't matter how nice you are, if you know your rights it'll piss off just about every cop out there, they get annoyed when a civilian knows any law, much less any law that trumps their attempts to screw you over

had a cop ask to search my car once, i obviously said no, then 5 minutes later in that conversation he asked to come search my house, i had to try really hard not to laugh as i said no way...damn they we're mad

on a photography note, going out tonight for some atlanta night scenery, fuckin stoked

is 10mm wide enough? :D

I probably won't be getting this repaired after all, it's more then the camera is worth.

You want it shifted?

what color?

[kmcdon3960]

silver.
i might be keeping it though I'll let you know

[funhouseXcast]

funhouse: I think those would look nicer if you adjusted the whitebalance a bit, def. shifted to the pink/red


i didn't edit any of those yet.

[ShIfTeD]

silver.

keep that shit..im looking for a black one

just got back from a few pawn shops and thrift stores, found a d60 with a kit lense and a camera bag for $300...i can talk them down on the price too

[Tricker]

lines are the subject

if lines are the subject....you should of lined the chair up with the lines...and then taken the photo inline with the lines...:P

[ekipse1]

I dunno if D40's and D3000s and those cameras have the option I do in my D300 and D700, but try turning on the gridlines in your viewfinder, it helps for composition of things like making lines line up etc.

Going to sell both my D700 and my D300 and still won't have enough for this big cock sucker. But I'm out of uni this year and next year I gotta get into this shit for real, as a professional, so may as well have professional gear I say!!

Buy a fucking D40.

3 fuckin days till i get my d40. then getting a sb600.

i read somewhere that i can get the flash sync to 1/4000th of a second if i set it a certain way anyone heard of that?

[thesecks]

right, so I have a D40, 18-55, 50mm, tripod, remote, getting a flash in a few weeks maybe

but what can I get for Christmas for about £50ish ($100)

I'm thinking maybe a filter? ND grad?

any suggestions??

[thesecks]

Tobacco filter any good?

I like them, but theyre expensive.

I havn't heard of that, and doesn't sound possible to me. Either way, D40 has fastest flash sync of any camera, even 8000$ profession SLRs. Amazing.

This all sounds like a great set up, you won't need anything (apart from the flash) for years.

Get a Neutral Density filter of around 8 (ND8) for your 50mm, find out it's filter size and buy one of those. It will allow you to shoot the 50 wide open during sunny days. Very useful, I use mine every day on my M6.

cheers ill look into it, got a feeling both the 18-55 and 50 have 52mm thread sizes so should be alright because I'm not shooting with the 50 much because of ghey manual focus



and Monkey, youll know what I mean when I say PCSO's are a total farce

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-6DijNE3Z0

anyone not in the UK, PCSO's are just like police but with less powers, they pretty much can't do anything unless there's an actual policeman there

[ekipse1]

No need for a ND filter on the kit lens, it doesn't open up wide enough for it to be of any use.

[kmcdon3960]

I know my canon xsi will sync up to 1/4000 sec, but it won't do it with a standard flash.
I'm sure nikon has the same system.

If you use the "high speed sync" canon flash, it flashes several times during the exposure so that it "beats the sync" even though your shutter is only fully open for 1/320 or so.

Of course, you can't use it on full power on high speed mode.

[ekipse1]

One thing that drives me bananas about canon, and every little girl that owns one and uses at night with the built in flash, the STUPID canon system of flashing a zillion times before taking the shot, not only is it FUCKING ANNOYING, but the subject doesn't know whwther a photo has even been taken.


fuckkkkkkkkkkkkk

[funhouseXcast]

yo eklipse, i was just wondering if there's like actual words for the "big" dslr's and the "small" dslr's. Also, wether there is or not, do you know what the best small nikon one would be, i have a d60, and i was just curious. thanks.

[UpstateHate585]

I havn't heard of that, and doesn't sound possible to me. Either way, D40 has fastest flash sync of any camera, even 8000$ profession SLRs. Amazing.


this was on a photography forum i browse.

That and, not to mention, 1/500th flash sync; or all the way up to 1/4000th if you block the TTL contacts! (1/3200th with Cybersyncs)


no clue what that means but woah haha

[kmcdon3960]

blocking the ttl contacts won't make it sync faster, it'll just look like this

http://www.pbase.com/mikealex/image/47165871/medium.jpg

because the shutter started closing before it finished opening, if you know what I mean

[UpstateHate585]

gotcha. alright thanks i just saw that and was like no way haha

[ekipse1]

I would differentiate them as either professional cameras or amateur cameras. Or maybe one could call the cameras with internal focusing motors 'big' and the smaller cameras with no focusing motor (d40 d60 d3000 d5000) 'small'.
I dunno.

Right now I consider anything with a full frame sensor a 'professional' camera. But there is no lingo.

D5000 is probably the best small nikon out right now, that and the tried and true D40.

[Robbie P]

a leaf shutter is what you want for syncing flashes. you can sync up to 1/40,000 of a second.

[ekipse1]

Didn't know that. Yashica what up, they use leaf shutters I'm pretty sure.

[funhouseXcast]

i meant like how there's the big lenses and the small lenses. like d40 lenses fit on d60, d80, and so on, and then there's the fucking big ones.

[youthcrewdoof]

speeking of yashicas.....Heres some scans from my Yashica Mat 124-G.

[ekipse1]

i meant like how there's the big lenses and the small lenses. like d40 lenses fit on d60, d80, and so on, and then there's the fucking big ones.

The big lenses tend to have wider apertures.

For example, why the 70-200mm F/2.8 is so much bigger than the 70-300mm F/4-5.6

ok so i decided i want to try some of this film shit out haha. whats a good, cheap camera to learn on? i have no idea how to develop or anything haha. or maybe i should just stick to digital and get to know my d40 inside and out.

anyone build their own studio lighting? gonna give it a go after xmas

i got the same question buyin my girl a camera for xmas shes really into photography but never had a good camera. so i wanna get her a starter cam.

guys got any good ideas?

Seen this one at frys. Comments welcom yo!
http://www.frys.com/product/5371868

[UpstateHate585]

we dont have the same question. the camera u posted is digital, i asked for good film cameras. im getting a nikon d40, which from what i have seen is a great camera for someone to learn how to use a dslr and get good photos as they do it. got mine for 420 online

[Ayber]

well guess proves how i dont know squat and asked haha.

[Robbie P]

take it easy, dudes.

shooting film is expensive and can be frustratingly difficult at the start. having a nice digital SLR to shoot with is great, it provides a lot of room to try a lot of things out. get a D40 or a rebel and just shoot, shoot, and shoot some more. eventually you will learn how to make images come out better, but this comes through experience, not gear and shit you can buy.

Wait till you get your D40. Film is on another level entirely to digital. Get your head around Digital first.

Edit:

Yeah, what robbie said.

you can start out with a simple 35mm camera like a pentax k1000. its the stock of the stock when it comes to 35mm cameras and relatively easy to come by.the price isent to bad either, its really a solid 35mm camera for people who want to shoot film. i seem to be the only one who really bases in film on this board. its really all i shoot.
if anyone wants to know about medium or large format camera...feel free to ask! im a film major so im up to date on film photography more then digital. which i feel i should get into more. haha

[ekipse1]

I feel if you already shoot Nikon digitally then it makes sense to buy a Nikon film SLR, so that lenses can be interchanged.

you could but in the long run its better to get a decent one because once you buy one it will last you forever and you dont wanna be stuck with one that you can easily upgrade.

this is the one i use that is perfect and ive used it for a year now and it works like gold. a friend of mind has had the same one as well for over 3 years and his works like a charm to.

This is very true. i process, develop, print, cut, mat, and frame all of my own shit out of my own pocket.
film is one thing.
but you have to buy a shit load of other things that come with film. and if ur shooting B&W its even more expensive.

ill give some one a nickel and a pat on the back if they can tell me why shooting B&W film is more expensive then color.
:D

[ekipse1]

Thats not necessarily true, the only other piece of equipment I have had to buy is a film scanner. I get my films developed for $8 a pop and scan them myself.

I find darkrooms, enlargers and developing films by hand tiresome and boring, but thats just me.

[youthcrewdoof]

to me doing analog rather then digital feels much more personal because i put all that hard work into making the perfect image rather then on a computer.
i shot the film, processed it, cut it, developed and printed it. Doing all this makes me feel much more personal to my work.
If my image is shot wrong or its over exposed then its scrapped. i cant manipulate with a program to make it right. i can however "dodge", "burn". and "etch" my images to make them look better. but if i get that perfect shot i can print it as large as i want with out having to go to a store to get it done. i can do it my self. im not saying one it better then the other.because i know some digital photographers who just blow my mind. i prefer being hands on with my photography, makes it much more personal when someone buys my pieces. makes me give more gratitude.

which is why analog and digital are so different.

I feel you, but all I do with my film scans is basically a digital version of dodging and burning, bringing up the blacks and pushing back the washed out whites. While I enjoy manipulating my digital images to however I want them to look, I hardly touch my scanned negatives, other than a dodge or burn as I said before.

yeah i know what you mean. but dabbing in film is better then not doing film at all.

[theorist]

Are there any DX format 50mm 1.8 lenses? I'm too broke to fork out the extra 100+ Dollars for the 1.4...Or should it even matter if I want it for portraits and street type shit, since on a DX format camera it multiplies by 1.5 and comes out to around a 75mm focal length?

Correct. Thats why they produce the 35mm f/1.8, so that after the 1.5x crop factor it becomes around 52mm. If I were you I'd buy the 35mm.

jesus, I've had mine for like years and have got 27k


just because yours are pimp

do you add yours to groups and shit, and whats your flickr monkey?

monkey, sorry to hear that shit. the 3rd pic is sweet especially cuz he was a base jumper.

[.A.K.4.7.]

I've been getting around 700 views a day so far. I have been adding a couple photos to groups here and there though, why not?


And I'm sorry Monkey, those are some sick shots.

[thesecks]

no reason, if I could be bothered I would add all mine to groups, just such a ballache

soon as a few people see your shots, then they'll tell other people etc etc, and it'll get to a point where you dont have to add them to any groups and youll get tons of views

[MoNkEy]

sad to see him go...hoping to get some funeral details or something...its hard as fuck as identity's dont really get passed between each other really...like his GF would have no clue who the fuck i am etc...o well he always said he will probably die base jumping...and he did....he was completley on the level and knew what he got himself into each time...

and my flickr is www.flickr.com/siteone

400 kodak

can someone help me out with film speed?
..if im in darker lighting situation i use a higher film speed?

[youthcrewdoof]

400 kodak

si.

or shorter shutter speed and smaller F-stop.

[.A.K.4.7.]

400 kodak

can someone help me out with film speed?
..if im in darker lighting situation i use a higher film speed?

Film speed is similar to camera ISO in your nikon. 100 is relatively ungrainy, whereas 3200 is extremely grainy, but it's nice grain, not shit 'noise' in your digi. 3200 can virtually see in the dark with a fast lens, whereas forget about using 100iso at night without a tripod.

[Robbie P]

3200 is pretty rough for shooting color film. it just ends up looking like shit most of the time. the farthest i dare to go is 1600 for black and white and maybe push it a stop.

[.A.K.4.7.]

Yeah I bought a few rolls of 3200 BW and didn't like it too much, good for shooting at night but thats it.

I shoot only 400 really now, can use it effectivly day time and night and the photos come out cool.

[MoNkEy]

velvia 100 is the best film ever made...i bum it harder than anything....

[kmcdon3960]

http://images.rapidhate.org/d/4996-1/rilynyc015.jpg

This is what it looks like when you rate your 3200 at 6400. There's nothing like it when you can shoot f/2.8 at 1/60 with barely any light at all. I was told it looks like 'a 60's rolling stone picture'

http://rapidhate.org/images/20091014231943_camp3.jpg

And here's some 100. Big difference in grain

man i havent inlined in so long either!
bringing back the memories!

[kmcdon3960]

I regularly shoot neopan 1600, but set the iso dial to 1000, then I leave it in the developer for a couple minutes less.

Gives different results then if you shoot/process it at 1600

It's called push/pull

push if you overrate, pull if you underrate

[Robbie P]

what's it like printing 8x10's with 1600 ISO film? i have grain issues printing 8x10's at even 400.

[kmcdon3960]

dunno, I don't print, just scan / upload :(

[youthcrewdoof]

what's it like printing 8x10's with 1600 ISO film? i have grain issues printing 8x10's at even 400.

printing b&w is completely different then printing color.

printing color you have to be in 100% pitch black. it sucks.

[Robbie P]

don't you have to develop color prints for every primary color too? i've only printed black and white and that is relatively easy.

[ShIfTeD]

-set it to M mode
-keep your iso as low as possible
-depending on how much movement in your pics you want youll keep a high or low f #, for long light trails for cars or lots of blurry moving objects and everything else crisp, set your aperature at around a f14 or so...varies depending on how much light is in your picture, and keep your shutter open for about 15 to 30 seconds...like i said, really depends on your suroundings, for everything else, keep your aperature as low as possible and keep your shutter open for about 3 seconds...this usually does it but youll have to play around with it, in most cases youll have enough city lighting to use what i said above. if theres very little light youll have to have your shutter open even longer, i would invest in a wireless shutter/remote release/cable release...youll need it

always keep in mind that if you have your aperature stopped down, street lights will give that star apearance, i would always try to keep the aperature as high as you can to eliminate this...thats just me though

you said you were getting a tripod, your gonna obviously need that

find one with a release on it so you can have the mount on the camera and never have to take it off...its really convinient so you can just slip the camera on and off the tripod

This isn't necessarily true, stopping down too far can cause Diffraction, which makes you lose sharpness. It works basically the same as squinting your eyes.

http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/diffraction.htm

I'd recommend shooting at the f stop where your particular lens is at it's sharpest, usually from f/5.6 to f/8.

[ShIfTeD]

..ive never had the blades not show on street lights when you close your aperature

[.A.K.4.7.]

Sorry, I wasn't meaning that. I only meant to quote the part where you said he should use F/14.

[UpstateHate585]

idk if any1 here is into them but im taking photos for veil of maya tomorrow
