I don't understand why people would want to share their LF work on Instagram. Such a big format presented on such a tiny network.

I think the network is huge though. You gotta go where the people are, to some extent. It does seem somewhat silly, but also you can still see the LF difference in the photos.

I dunno. I think snobbery is available to people who are already successful. Lynch can rail against iPhones all he wants, he doesn't have to worry about people not watching his stuff. He can afford to tell them that they're consuming his work "wrong".

Also, why would you limit yourself? The more people who look at, appreciate, and get interested in any sort of analog photography, the better. The more inaccessible and exclusive you make it, the fewer people buy film and cameras, and the sooner it dies.

Greg Miller travels and holds workshops all over the place. My guess is he has the Instagram presence so Joe Q. Millennial in rural town X can find him easily. To me it says Greg Miller is probably a dullard that's out of ideas. There's established photographers doing cool things on Instagram (Stacey Kranitz, Stephen Shore, Teju Cole), follow those guys!

I didn't know Stephen Shore had one. Looked at his instagram, what cool thing is he doing? Looks like normal gram shots to me.

Report: I've run a couple rolls through my "new" GW670ii, and a fair number of frames are black because I left the lens cap on because I'm used to looking through the lens :(

So my girlfriends father just gave me a roll of Kodachrome 64, and a couple rolls of Ektachrome (100 and 200 speed). The Kodachrome expired 1988 but it's been in a fridge. What are the chances it's still shootable, and can you even get it developed anywhere?

It's probably still shootable, but the only way to develop it is as black-and-white. Resurrecting Kodachrome is one of these mad delusions that comes along every so often, but it's really only viable with the kind of industrial-scale chemical purity and process control that Kodak provided. Academically speaking, it's possible to reconstruct the process, but good luck: one guy in Australia has done it, and from his account it was like trying to reconstruct formulas from scraps of Necronomicon scattered into the four winds.

:( oh well, guess I'll give it back to him to stick back in his film fridge. At least I can do the Ektachrome.

Clearly the best answer is to talk to Hugo or Keith, get an actual 30x60 camera made, and do everything as contact prints.

Uh the best answer is to go full on Clifford Ross and make terrible art out of the highest resolution images ever created.

I think my photo place cut the first two frames off all of the rolls I just got developed (11 total). There are about 8 developed frames on each roll. One end of the roll has a small fraction of a seemingly well exposed image, and the other end has a blank space, enough for two frames.

I shot the rolls with the GW670II, which seems pretty precise about roll start and end points.

It seems like they just hosed up, and didn't realize where the start and end points of the roll were (though I can't be totally sure obviously). Is that possible?

Obviously there's nothing I can do about it now, but I'm upset. If they did gently caress up, I lost 22 frames, more than two full rolls.

I scanned 2 of the rolls before realizing, but have the others. Is it worth going back and asking what happened and trying to get some money back?

Why would your lab cut your 120 at all?

I get the "whole" roll back, and then I cut them in order to scan them. The rolls do look like they've been trimmed (in one case, it cuts off in the middle of a perfectly exposed image with no obvious light exposure or blotching like it was hosed up as part of developing the roll or otherwise.

Here's a couple examples, sorry for the poo poo quality.

Full roll, with a lot of space on one end and a chopped image on the other.

Don't know what kind of a lab error would cause that, looks more like the film wasn't loaded properly.

I mean that's totally possible, too. Maybe I didnt advance it so the arrows on the film lined up with that of the camera before closing the back? I don't know.

(I mean, user error is much more likely here, I'm just not sure how that would have happened).

I never had any issues of that type with that camera either.

Are you sure you're lining up the arrows on the film to the orange dots?

That's probably what happened I guess. Lesson learned.

Pretty annoyed at myself for missing the metering on this shot (and the whole rest of the roll). Metering on the fly with a hand meter (aka my phone) is hard as gently caress. I need a camera with a godamn light meter on it.

Yeah I gotta do that.

It's more that I suck at doing the mental work of "super dark and super light in the same image, okay, what should I be metering for, cause if I meter for this...etc etc". Basically I'm bad at photography 101.
