A boombox is not a toy!

Maybe one of these days when UNICEF gets into the photo critiquing business... until then have a Provia picture inspired by alkanphel's work.

I wanted to do another take with bulb mode to expose it properly and compare the two but it started raining and I didn't want to get my gear wet. Might go back tonight if it's not raining again.

Doesn't work, way too dark. Take a look at rangerscum's archive to see just how to do dark af urban landscapes properly.

I thought as much but kind of hoped it might work to capture a mysterious vague shapes in the dark kind of vibe (which was what I got as I approached the scene, it freaked me out a bit as those trucks weren't there last time I was there). I guess not though! Thanks guys.

It's not abstract enough to be mysterious. We can clearly see that it's a truck.

Something like that with a more organic form would be more evocative. Something like a model.

Having yourself in the photos is fine for you as a way of marking a point in time for yourself in the future when you look back on your Iceland trip, but as far as a landscape photo goes its completely unnecessary as we know you were there. You're the photographer, your the one taking the shot and showing us something interesting/beautiful/telling a story/etc, we don't need you also in it.

Technically, I had problems trying to see whats in the shadows at all, and to be honest they're a bit difficult to look at in that regard. You have these sections of the photos that are exceptionally bright which draw your eye away from the interesting bits, the actual landscape. And I'm not sure about the composition on the wide angle shots, you seem to be compensating for the FOV by getting close the the ground to anchor the shot, and you need to ask yourself is that interesting? Is this improving the shot? What is the actual focal point of the photo? Whats the compelling component?

My advice is to just keep shooting and be critical of your own work.

This is helpful. Thanks!

Re: some of the other comments – putting a person (it's a buddy of mine – not me) in the photos was an attempt to make it something other than generic landscape vacation photography. I can understand why that would only mean something to me though, knowing the guy. I can understand why it's a crutch, instead of finding an actual focal point. So I'll take that constructively. :)

I definitely appreciate the exposure comments though. I think I rely on bumping up contrast too much at times to make things look overly graphic or something.

"This process is in the VERY early stages, no guarantee is made as to color accuracy, stability, or production of images." sounds worth it for $60~

Not gunna lie, I never had the ability to shoot Kodachrome, so I'd probably roll the dice for the cost of a few Chipotle lunches. Weird processing be damned.

I think I was following this guy's progress on APUG for a little while. I have essentially zero deep knowledge of the K-14 process, but my understanding is that the dyes for each color are not really built into the film emulsion itself, but rather a product of a separate developer and coupler used for each color sensitive layer. So unless he's using the original Kodak formula, which he isn't, you'll get an image but the colors and stability of the dyes won't be the same at all. Still, might be worth it if you had some old Kodachrome shot by family members and you're dying to see what's on it.

You guys in this thread really know about film development. Did you learn from someone or just dive in one day? I was looking at color negative kits that would cost the same as sending 8 rolls off to get developed. I've been reading about the process a bit and it seems simple and complicated at the same time.

Well see, back in the dark ages, we didn't have digital cameras. I know it's hard to believe but for a while film was the state of the art.

So some of us actually learned a thing or two about it.

I just dove in. Doing your own black and white is really easy.

Color is more work and needs more precision on temperature etc., so as a spastic idiot you might consider B&W.

Start with black and white. Once you feel comfortable doing that, C41 isn't as daunting.

Right on. I was about to dive right in with color development, so glad I asked. Do you think those developer starter kits are a good way to go or do you guys recommend something different?

I was going to buy black and white film this last round but it seems pricey. Can you guys recommend some b&w film ? I ended up buying 2 four packs of fuji 200 and 2 rolls of ektar 100 color negative this round. I really have no idea what I'm doing, so I appreciate the help and direction.

Should I move this to the film thread or is it ok to discuss this in here?

You'll get better responses in the film thread. For B+W pick up Tri-X 400.

To add something worthwhile to the discussion, this:


is most likely The Painted Hills area, in Eastern Oregon. It's a pretty amazing place. Great shot, too.

This is kinda what the area looks like:







It's a pretty gorgeous spot, and the highways around it are incredible.
