Well it is an M8. So autoexposure is a possibility.

tuyop posted:So is film at all like digital where you can take like 150 shots in a couple of hours and have only eight that are anything but mediocre and only three that are worth showing anybody? Isn't that insanely expensive? Most people are pickier about what they shot with film so your keeper rate might go up. However you might be more inclined to bracket exposure or subtle changes in composition if you aren't used to shooting film. I shot 5 rolls of 120 the other week and had roughly 7 photos I was happy with. A few more were better after some post.

Mannequin posted:Don't get that lens. Get a 35mm f/1.8 (for DX) or f/2 for FX. Or get the older AI-S version of the 28mm f/2.8 if you want that focal length. It's 1,000 times better than the AF version, except that you have to focus manually. It's also cheap on KEH. If going with a 28mm AIS I recommend the f/2. It rocks.

Helmacron posted:Who's debating this? Why would they be debating this? It's like debating whether all cheese should be blue or brie. "Forget everything else, all cheese must be gorgonzolla, made from sheep's milk. You! Preen my moustache." I think he is probably referring to the whole pictorialist versus realist thing from early on. Basically a bunch of dudes said: "For photography to be a serious art form it needs to looks all weird and sort of like a painting. Quick, invent a fog machine or at least a lens that is completely uncorrected for abberation!" Then some other dudes said: " Whoa, gently caress that. A photograph should look like the really thing only on paper. Quick, get me a lens that stops down to F/bazillion!" There was much mustache preening on both sides.

My 2 main kits (DSLR & med format) are in bags. What ever bag I'm not carrying that day ends up in the closet. Next to my bed I have two cabinets that I use as a night table. Inside that is where I keep my back up DSLR and all sorts of weird stuff. I do keep a Nikkormat FTN in the living room loaded with Tri-X. When people ask about it I refer to it as my "throwdown camera" and refuse to elaborate.

Helmacron posted:I like to think it's purchasing an excellent off-road vehicle and purchasing tires adequate for what you want to do, and not going out and getting enormous mud terrains so you vibrate stupid on the freeway, void your cheap insurance or pay for that insurance that makes your hackles rise because you're getting rear end hosed. I don't know what's going on here but I want to take it home and give it a name.

ease posted:I hate to ask this question in the no advice thread, but what kind of computers are you guys using for lightroom? 18mp cr2s really slowed it down for me. My laptop is an i3 with 4 gigs of ram and (other than building previews) lightroom is quite fast processing 14 bit NEFs from my D700. It chokes like a cheap whore on 300+mb tiff files from scanner though, those are PS only for me.

I think a lot of people are confusing technical instruction with art criticism. I have an extensive amount of experience teaching EMTs and Paramedics. That's easy, if they do something wrong you correct them and explain why it was wrong and what could be done better the next time. If we were discussing a physical skill then I could show the class how to do it until everyone understood. I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to teach an abstract (in comparison) subject like art.

poopinmymouth posted:But that's not even what we're debating. This isn't a person honestly trying and not getting it, 90% (and that's if you're lucky, probably closer to 98%) just phone it in with no effort or time put into the project whatsoever. Right, it is easier to learn the technical aspects of photography than drawing. I know this because my charcoal drawings will never progress beyond stick figures. I meant that technical proficiency is only a small part of creating art with a camera. Mostly of the other responses from people wanted to know why the teacher in the video didn't provide any guidance other than "Suck less at this next time".

Mannequin posted:Too much guidance from the teacher would only lead a student to making images that the teacher liked or found interesting. I don't think you can give someone specific directions otherwise you might as well just shoot the photo for them next time. "This is boring, suck less next time" is a perfectly valid and useful critique. Anyone with any sort of motivation will try harder to make an interesting piece of work next time. If you need to know why someone didn't like your work you aren't really improving yourself at all.

Agreed. Basic concepts are basic concepts no matter what camera you shoot with. I cracked up at the weirdo vignettes and printing on eggs section though.

Turns out she went off to art school, became a professional photographer, and is now very, very successful and quite talented. She's also married. Look on the bright side, 50% of marriages in the US end in divorce.

squidflakes posted:So wait, on a comedy forum, under a thread that's supposed to be specifically for GBS type stuff, we're calling each other out for making unfunny comments because we assume the other posters are a pack of skeezy weird-o fucks meanwhile we're expressing our biggest fear as being perceived as skeezy weird-o fucks? I feel that you are prejudiced against the skeezy weirdo gently caress community and generally that means you are in denial about your own skeezy weirdo fuckness.

Has anyone else submitted work to the focus project (http://www.focusproject2011.com/) ? I know generally online photo contests are just a money making scheme but I would have just drank that eighty bucks anyway. Seems like it might be a halfway decent way to get some of my work out there. Here's my portfolio http://www.focusproject2011.com/jkullmann If it's not kosher to troll for votes here I'll remove the link.
