At the antique mall. Lots of old cameras. Wish I could see if they work. There's a nice solid feeling koma or something here.

[neb3636]

Monkey do you have a flickr?

[youthcrewdoof]

can anyone suggest some solid automatic film cameras? i want a great film camera i can fit in my pocket..

i was think the contax t2 cause the german glass, buts its expensive.


Olympus 35 RC


little thing is a beast.

[UpstateHate585]

So many sick little cameras here. Some old ass ones too. There's a polaroid land camera. Looks dope. And a working 1904 box camera lol

[UpstateHate585]

There's a ziess (sp) tenax for 100 bux. They any good?

[.A.K.4.7.]

It was made with ProPhoto3. Lets you customize everything so I made that myself. You can do ANYTHING with it but I like this clean simple look


Sorry, but is it a tumblr blog? orrrr...

[J.Channa]

Homies of the photo thread... Can someone help me out? I purchased a Canon 7d on Dec 27th 2009 and after using my fathers 5d Mark II, I decided I want that instead. Now I am 1 week too late to return it to B & H. I listed it on craigslist and Ebay but do you fellow photo nerds know any other place I could find a serious buyer for my brand new 7d that I might now be stuck with? And no not the for sale section in bombing science.

I don't understand the point of the 7D, it's not even full frame? I thought you got a 5D? Sell it ebay?

[J.Channa]

I don't understand the point of the 7D, it's not even full frame? I thought you got a 5D? Sell it ebay?

Yeah I have a 5d Mark II but it's my fathers. The problem is we end up having gigs on the same days so I need my own. The 7d is awesome but after using the mark II its such a downgrade. I listed it on ebay I guess ill see how that goes.

[J.Channa]

Another issue for me is I'm addicted to the L series lenses and using them on the full frame 5d is great, then seeing them on the 7d makes me feel like I wasted money because I'm not using them at their full potential. I fucked up man.

[youthcrewdoof]

I got a nice size box in the mail today!

SUUUUUPER stoked.

i have a shit load of printing to do!

[UpstateHate585]

Everyone is ignoring me haha. I'm at the antique place. About to buy a fujica or some shit for 8 bux. There's a cheap looking leica here. Plastic and takes batteries I guess.

[youthcrewdoof]

i dont know upstate because ive never looked into any of those cameras. im sure a google search should get you your answers.

[UpstateHate585]

Yeah google is gay on a phone tho. There's a decent looking yashica for 30. A bunch of twin reflex camera. And fujicas.

[.A.K.4.7.]

A cheap and plastic leica? Never heard of it.

I've seen them before. They're rebadged holgas.

Youth crew you son of a bitch. Gimme some of that velvia!

Just won these bad boys on ebay today. Finally get to replace my broken gtn.... with another gtn (this one works though)

hoooo that olympus is sicko. Is it manual-ish?

[kmcdon3960]

naw it's aperture priority, but, it's like $40.

You should look into one it's the 'xa'

There's like 5 different versions, only the original one has the 2.8 lens and full range aperture

[youthcrewdoof]

Yeah google is gay on a phone tho. There's a decent looking yashica for 30. A bunch of twin reflex camera. And fujicas.

get a TLR yashica or rollie if you can!

[UpstateHate585]

I got the fujica for 8 bux. Seems sturdy. The leica there looked like crap. Said af-cl1 on it I think. I might have put the film in this camera wrong haha only time will tell.

[.A.K.4.7.]

dear god it wasn't a CL was it? If it was, get back in your car and go buy it.

did you pay $199 for it? or get it on torrents or someshit?

[UpstateHate585]

Did a little research. I guess it was a leica af-c1. People say its a rebadged minolta

[.A.K.4.7.]

you should have bought it, even if it felt cheap it would sitll have a dope lens in it.

[UpstateHate585]

Meh idk. I might go back. I'm getting used to this manual focus shit haha

[.A.K.4.7.]

Some photos from my new D3s at 12800ISO. try turn your camera up to iso 12800 and check the difference! amazing

Will do.

[youthcrewdoof]

Meh idk. I might go back. I'm getting used to this manual focus shit haha

welcome to photography.

[UpstateHate585]

Stoked to see that. So I thinkeither I loaded the film wrong or the exposure counter isn't working. How can I tell when the films up? Can I take the film out if its dark in my room? What if I bought a red lightbulb?

[Werse]

Ak will you be my dad.

[youthcrewdoof]

Stoked to see that. So I thinkeither I loaded the film wrong or the exposure counter isn't working. How can I tell when the films up? Can I take the film out if its dark in my room? What if I bought a red lightbulb?

what kind of camera is it again?

if its a regular 35mm camera then you should have it locked in one end (most likely the right side if im correct and pull it across the track along the back and feed it into a little slot thats on the right spindle. take acouple shots to make sure its in there right.
ex. snap the picture with the back open and wind it 2 or 3 times. exposing 1 or 2 shots it better then losing the entire roll. once you can see that its snapping and feeding to the left side you can close the back and keep shooting shots and winding until it goes from S to 1 and then you should be at shot one.

I have a trick if you wanna rewind ur film half way through a roll as well if you would like to know.
:D

that is all class.
next week we will cover how to load a TLR.
:D

[youthcrewdoof]

you can tell when the film is done because you wont be able to wind the crank back anymore to snap a picture. when that happens just press the button at the bottom and rewind it all the way.

If you are taking like over 30 shots on a 24 shot roll then you probably loaded the film wrong haha



*film is light sensitive. ANY kinda of light will expose the film. no matter what kind of film or light if it hits the smallest part of light with out being processed first ur shots are gone.

[UpstateHate585]

Gotcha. I think its fine. The exposure counters working now. And I can't wind it up so it must be caught and in there right. I got a cheap roll of film for it. 400 speed b+w. Hopefully it comes out alright. Idk how good the seals are on the camera haha. Guess I will find out lol

[Robbie P]

yo AK, good hollering on that T4. same glass as the contax, slightly cheaper, and waterproof!

[youthcrewdoof]

buy cheep film once you get a feel for it explore EVERYTHING. buy new films and try weird things. ive been at the film game for like 5 years now and there still so much i have yet to try. i just bought some infer red film that im super stoked to shoot and see how it comes out. buy every different kinda of film you can and just shoot things that catch ur eye. dont worry about if it makes sense. because thats how you will find out what you like shooting and what you dont like shooting. might i suggest staying away from anything that has to do with graffiti haha

other wise.
GO NUTS!

[.A.K.4.7.]

yo AK, good hollering on that T4. same glass as the contax, slightly cheaper, and waterproof!

Coolies, ive been shooting a bit with a point and shoot at parties and shit. I feel like terry, cept the girls i shoot aren't naked and sueprmodels.

[youthcrewdoof]

im pretty excited to start shooting all of this.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4055/4304101907_62eb1ded43.jpg

:D :D :D

[UpstateHate585]

Yeah I actually haven't shot any graff in a year. Too cliche for me. I plan on using some spots for portraits though. The film stuff is mainly gonna be for street shooting I think. I still like the instant feedback of digital

[.A.K.4.7.]

nothing wrong with shooting graff... the trick is finding a fresh angle to it..

[Robbie P]

look up alex fakso, his graffiti action photos are really rad. and european, so it's fucking crazy and on trains.

[UpstateHate585]

Oh no doubt. I like seeing nice graff flicks. But there is no good graff here. I'm in a small town. If I go to the city its mediocre lol

[ManFromDaMoon]

so im thinking an olympus om-g to start with film. yes? 20 minutes left on ebay...

[-Empty-Can-]

I'm pretty interested in film photography too.
So I just found my dads old film camera. It's been sitting in this shelf for like probably 7 years. Long ass time. This thing on the back shows the date and it was actually correct. I took two photos with it but I don't know if there was others on there. The scroll thing at the top says 1 but i dunno what that means.

I think it's a canon sure shot? Not an SLR. Here's Pics....

Actually I think It's a brand new roll of film. I could be wrong.

[VAsucks]

what are the chances a new dslr has a dirty sensor
and is it worth trying to clean myself or taking it to a shop

[.A.K.4.7.]

DO NOT TRY CLEAN IT YOURSELF.

Take it into a shop to get cleaned. Only way to clean yourself is if you buy a blower, never ever touch the sensor or blow into it with your mouth, far too much moisture and spit.

http://www.crowriveraudio.com/tk/dustoff.jpg


anybody that wants to start off in real film photography might i suggest getting a pentax K1000, its the best thing for some one who wanted to start off in regular 35mm film shooting and decent price. so if you want to get into film photography the pentax k1000 is a good place to start. then you can look into more cameras as time goes on such as rangefinder camera and TLRs

[walkingcarpet]

yeeeek horrible bokeh, cute shot though

For real dude? I guess its an opinion, I thought this bokeh looked great. Anyways, can you explain why you don't like the bokeh, and if you could suggest another lens or what I should look for in a lens to get nice bokeh. Thanks


Thanks guys. I have more on my flickr so feel free to check it out.

I prefer creamy smooth bokeh, the bokeh in yours is quite circly and blotchy for me. sall opinions though. check the bokeh on a nikon 135mm DC

Just hit the contact tab on my site.

Ah, thanks for explaining AK, always nice to see other peoples' viewpoints. I definitely like creamy bokeh as well. Hopefully gonna get a 85 f2 to get some nice portraits with my Minolta.

Thanks youthdoofcrew!

[.A.K.4.7.]

Fuck, weighing up whether to get a 70-200mm f/2.8 for whatever huge amount they cost, or pay less and cover two bases in buying the 85mm f/1.4. I'd lose zoom but it's much faster...

85mm

[zio]

yes definitely the 85
that plus your almost no grain high ISO
shit i wish i can do night shots like yours

[kmcdon3960]

ak, get the 85. You'll not regret it. The hell are you gonna do with a 70-200 anyway? I know you don't shoot birds or sports.

Youthcrew- I agree with the pentax k1000. It was my first camera. Ever. In fact that's what the teacher suggested we use in class.

[UpstateHate585]

Hoping to have my first film developed today after work and a drug test lol. Hopefully there are no leaks in the camera and its works alright. Will post the results here haha.

[thesecks]

Jesus, someone post some dam photos, all very well talking about it, but is anyone actually taking any?

[UpstateHate585]

I have been taking plenty. But my computers getting fixed lol so I can't post any. I will make up for my talking when I get my computer back. Promise lol

[dinedgc]

ak-i'd say 85 mm for that aperture advantage

i dont mind talking, just the fact there are like 2 photos for every 4 pages

[funhouseXcast]

yeah ak, i think the 85mm would be great for you causa your subject matters. I know you're at a completely different level but i got a 55-200 f/4 and i never fuckin use it. Nice to have though.

[kmcdon3960]

I've been thinking about selling the 70-200L to get money for a r2/r4 body.

It's nice to have the telephoto, but I can't remember the last time I used it.

[ShIfTeD]

i hate that this pic is slightly out of focus...fuck

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd99/powerfulimpakt/8-20.jpg

[kmcdon3960]

You did pretty good with the shadows. Did you plan that, or did it just kind of happen that way? Smaller fstop maybe to make focus easier? (you'll probably be blinding people with the lights though)

[youthcrewdoof]

i hate large font shirts like that. so stupid. the photo is awesome though

[ShIfTeD]

i was trying to get really dramatic shadows this time around

yeah, im not trying to blind anyone, hah

taking pics for terror on thursday

[kmcdon3960]

does your nikon confirm focus with that fisheye
like, manual focus only, but it beeps and flashes the viewfinder when focus is right?

[Werse]

The hell are you gonna do with a 70-200 anyway? I know you don't shoot birds or sports.
.

Portraits.

[kmcdon3960]

Portraits.

vs. an 85/1.4 though?

[UpstateHate585]

I would think that the portaits would have awesome bokeh to them. Could be wrong.

Shifted I like it man. Terror..not so much haha. I'm not a huge hardcore guy. I'm into heavier stuff. But my friends are in life ruiner tho haha.

[Werse]

Oh true I'd go with the 85 I forgot about that haha.

[ShIfTeD]

does your nikon confirm focus with that fisheye

nope, i wish though


and im actually not a big fan of terror's music but their shows speak for themselves

best live band iver ever seen without a doubt, im so stoked, soo much fucking energy its rediculous

im into the heavier shit too, i absolutely hate liferuiner but ive been listening to for the falled dreams and the ghost inside lately

[UpstateHate585]

haha everyone hate liferuiner.

so i got my film developed today went to pick it up and the shit was blank haha. nothing on the film at all. i must have loaded it wrong. when i checked the camera, i notice only the thing in front of the lens moves when i crank it. the spools on the right dont. could be that the camera doesnt wind film? it told me when the film was up though im confused

[kmcdon3960]

When you're advancing the film, you should see the rewind lever spinning also.

In the meantime, open the camera back, snap a couple shots, and make sure the shutter is working. Try it at a few different speeds to make sure it's not stuck on the same setting.

what do you mean by the thing in front of the lens? pics?

[UpstateHate585]

haha sorry for my lack of camera knowledge. this is the first film camera i have ever touched. ill take pics in a second

just for talking
http://i48.tinypic.com/oucilf.jpg

[UpstateHate585]

http://i47.tinypic.com/2m77yhj.jpg

ok so green (shutter?) works fine and moves to the right when i crank the arm thing. but red and blue dont move at all.

when i spin red with my finger, blue moves too.

edit- my brother was watching something about a new phone and i looked up and saw it has carl zeiss on the camera haha

[kmcdon3960]

yeah dead film advance.

Here's a quick checklist for when you go back to the thrift store later this afternoon.
1: shutter
2: advance
3: does aperture close during exposure?
4: do aperture blades have oil on them?
5: does meter work?
6: self timer.
I've had alot of film cameras work fine, until you move the selftimer switch, then they never work again for some reason

1-seems to work

4-cant tell?
5-yes
6-works fine

any way to fix it?
edit- what the fuck. i was just messing with it and it decided to work haha.odd. but the film i got developed had nothing on it. should i assume there are no light leaks then? wouldnt it be white?

[kmcdon3960]

http://falklumo.smugmug.com/photos/580007430_HLVAt-L-2.jpg

those things inside the lens that make a circle are the aperture blades. If they have oil on them they won't close in time for a quick exposure, and might cause some fogging on the inside of the lens.

Usually on older slr's you can take the lens off and rotate the aperture ring to inspect them.

[One Evil]

how much does that camera cost ;)

[youthcrewdoof]

no ur film is already processed. finding a light leak is tricky. take it in to a camera shop

[UpstateHate585]

I know what the blades are. I can't see them too well. I just dropped my other roll off and will get it later. Hopefully its ok. The pics are just snaps to see if it works.

film came out! i am stoked. only problem i see is a line on all the prints. what is that? i still love it haha. i scanned some of the prints and tried to mess with levels to make it look as close to the actual print. but the prints look better. most of them are snaps just to fill the roll.

[ShIfTeD]

ouch...hurts my eyes

[kmcdon3960]

idk what that line is, you need to look closely at the negatives to see if they have a scratch where that line is. If so, it's probably your camera, but if the negatives are not scratched, it could be the lab's equipment. Try to set your black/white/grey points in the scans to get rid of that magenta cast.

this is my site. (http://rapidhate.org)

[UpstateHate585]

i dont know how to do that. the negatives dont appear to have the line. so it must be the lab.

[kmcdon3960]

if you got a magnifying glass or something like that it'll help, or just hold it up to the light. If it's your camera, the line will be continuous down the whole strip

bump (http://rapidhate.org)

[UpstateHate585]

yeah, pretty sure theres no scratch. how do i set the white/black/gray thing u were talking about?

[kmcdon3960]

yeah, pretty sure theres no scratch. how do i set the white/black/gray thing u were talking about?

actually if you're just scanning the prints, you can just desaturate the image and then use you're brightness/contrast. It looks like you're scanning these as color.
Looks like you did pretty good with the whole manual focus/exposure thing.

[UpstateHate585]

actually if you're just scanning the prints, you can just desaturate the image and then use you're brightness/contrast. It looks like you're scanning these as color.
Looks like you did pretty good with the whole manual focus/exposure thing.

yeah, i would say its not too loud lol. but idk cuz this is my first film camera. so pumped to try different types of film. lol so far only tried some kodak B+W 400

edit- ak, every new sig you get makes me want a leica haha. they are so fly. but i am nowhere ready or financially stable. i could easily save for one though. hmm haha. i am saving for a new camera anyways. gonna take a while, but by then i should realize why i need a new one and deserve one. thinkin of the d700

Who knows how to get your site up on a google search? CHANNA?

Yeah just click this link and enter your site. It may take a few days to show up.

[UpstateHate585]

this is the leica i saw at the antique mall

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3399/3201773435_bbea4df91e.jpg
some info on it: 40mm f:2.8 lens is excellent, and is converted into a 80mm f:5.6 with a built-in tele-converter at the push of a button. Built-in lens cover clicks open as you bring the camera to your eye.

just found that its worth like 170-200 bux haha. might have to go buy it

[UpstateHate585]

just found this on flickr. so fucking cool. at least to me
http://www.flickr.com/photos/edrabbit/galleries/72157623103181304

Lesson: If it says Leica on it, it is worth a lot of money.

If it's in good nick, hold on to it for a few years. It will grow in value.

Goin to a party sat. Thinkin about bringing film and digital to take some shots. How much does it cost to get things enlarged from negatives? I don't have the know how or materials to do it myself lol. And what are the limits of enlarging film?

[ShIfTeD]

im pretty sure thats monkey isnt it?

monkey...how do you even get into the buildings to begin with?

buildings around here you cant get into besides the front door and you cant get through unless your authorized and shit

[dinedgc]

softbox for $100 is nuts, i'm getting a diffuser for my sb400 in the mail soon, i love that fuckin flash, it's so small, and with the TTL cord, i can get some crazy angles on shadows and such, would never want the sb400 without one cause the flash head only tilts up and the whole body doesn't swivel

just figured out that my 8 foot light stands for my studio lighting have a camera mount screw..which means i just saved about $100..i can just screw my flashes with the slaves right onto the stand..no more rediculous silver tripods in my pictures...

wish i would have thought that one through before i busted a money nut on it

anyone need 2 bower 72" tripods? :D

[ShIfTeD]

i wish i would have taken photography club more seriously when i was in high school..i had a shitty point and shoot when i was in it and got pissed off and quit 3 days into it...they got into some cool ass shit

my high school used to have a film photography class and they had a dark room and shit, they dont any more and i was talking to my old art teacher the other day and she's trying to get rid of all the film developing shit

im gonna cop the shit off her but idk what i need...she has everything but the chemicals

This is cool. I like the way you turned the photo upside down, I wouldn't have been able to tell if it wern't for them little ripples.

[UpstateHate585]

i think it should have been shot horizontally. the way the building gets cut off bothers me. and why did u flip it?

[lakim shabazz]

why not flip it? but on the real
i felt like it and i hate shooting landscape looks boring as fuck to me

[UpstateHate585]

no hate haha. i was just wondering if there was a reason you flipped it lol. i just think if the building was in the frame all the way, it would look more complete i guess. to each his own.

so i am pricing out prints an people said to get a4 prints done for my portfolio. all my pictures get cropped differently and stuff, would that matter?

[lakim shabazz]

word word
i know i went printed mine some of them got caught off because i made em print the hole page and they were cropped but i don't know shit all about a4.

[UpstateHate585]

thats what im afraid of haha. i want them to be decent sized but would like them to be framed within the page if that makes sense

[kmcdon3960]

protip: when you crop, keep the original aspect ratio

[UpstateHate585]

so if u crop x amount of pixels from one side, crop the same amount from the other?

sometimes things just look better cropped certain ways

would it be dumb to just have my portfolio on my laptop and bring that around to show people? that way i dont have to worry about printing and stuff. i have a few pics that have weird crop sizes though. fuck idk haha

[ares]

Keeping the original aspect ratio wouldn't crop equal pixels off both sides unless your image is square, it keeps the crop in proportion to the original image. Maintaining the aspect ratio can be useful but its not something you want to do all the time, especially when making prints. 8x10 isn't a natural format for images.

As far as portfolios go, carrying it around on your laptop is unprofessional. If you don't want to make a book and get prints done, put them online. There are plenty of free portfolio based web sites and tools out there. If you print your shots or not you want to maintain consistency when it comes to portfolio.

[One Evil]

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd99/powerfulimpakt/2-53.jpg


this rocks.

[UpstateHate585]

Leica SLR's are worth heaps, but aren't really any better than any other manual focus SLR. It's the lenses that are dope, and they have a price tag to match. If you wanna go leica, expect to spend a lot in the long run.

I tried using my friend's d40 the other day, I couldn't even figure out how to work the shit.

It wouldn't even let me do aperture priority or program mode with my series e lens attached, and even when I did get it to work it wouldn't meter. What kind of shit is that? Even my canon will meter nikon lenses.

Sorry m8s, I'm sticking to canon.

edit: I do however perfer the nikon manual focus bodies to the canon ones.

Because those lenses were made in the 1970's, before matrix meters were even around. You're canon will not be able to meter with them, it probably just says it is metering cos it doesn't even know what kind of lens its got on it. Remember the canon EOS system is a very new one, so of course all it's systems work together flawlessly, Nikon has been around as industry standard since the 50's, so of course those ancient lenses have trouble working on 2010 cameras. Nikon had to make a choice to cater for both it's old pro's using nikon manual bodies to adjust to auto focus etc, whereas canon left their old manual focus users in the dust, forced to upgrade their bodies and lenses to EOS when it came about in the 80's.

met this fulla a few weekends back on a drunken portrait mission in the city, saw him again last night, toting a bag of styrofoam chips and milk, a neon hat and unbuttoned jumper. what an operator.

I look nothing like him. Cunt.


mmm...idk man...

upstate...nah, unless they know you they wont even give the mesage the time

i know the guitarist and vocalist from terror and the vocalist from emmure, didnt even know emmure was playing but met up with him in their tour van and he asked for pics...then the other bands came up to me and asked for photos, they all spread the word

thick as blood=good ass band...but the dudes are fuckin scummy, their all into their hispanic heritage and they hate on white people, their gangbangers too, they invited a bunch of latin kings from the chicago chapter to the show..it was bullshit

so now you got the little scene fags for miss may i, the hardcore kids for thick as blood, and all the bikerish hardcore dudes for terror (hells angles, chicago chapter) and latin kings, it was madness...soo many fights, the bathroom got locked up halfway into the show because after the kids get knocked in their faces, they'd go bleed all over the bathroom

[youthcrewdoof]

all of his shots are with a Mamiya RZ67 ProII and all of his shots are with Tmax 100.
he uses super short lens for this kinda of shit. he shoots with a 120mm and 200mm.
crazy for getting so close to all of these animals

im saving up for a RZ67 im about half way there.

FACTS

I really don't want to perpetuate the canonikon thing, but it definetly meters just fine. set to AV mode it autoexposes just like it's an ef lens.

Anyone got any darkroom equipment they want to sell me? I need a 4 liter glass jug and some graduated cylinders, actually I only need the jug, I switched to powdered developer (instead of that premade sprint standard bullshit) and I don't have anything to mix and store it in, it's the only thing holding me back from developing all these rolls :(.

I'm to the point now where I'm about to go buy one of those jugs of cheap wine and pour the shit out for the jug.

[dinedgc]

Yeah the walmart here sells big water jugs empty for like 4 bux

none of the above sir

you have to build yourself a reputation for taking pics in the hardcore scene and if your at a show you can ask local bands if they want live pics and you can charge them, but keep in mind that local bands dont have alot of $$

you really cant ask signed or touring bands to pay you, youll get laughed at...they have SOOO many kids taking pics for them, and they really dont know that your THAT much better then all the rest to where they should actually dig into their sponsor money to pay you

if they want you bad enough, they'll pay you

make yourself known, it takes a while...if you know alot of people in the scene it helps...it helped me
