8x10 drum test was a success. Did 4 sheets at once today with no hitches aside from being stupid and trying to pull the sheets out of a dry tube and scratching them.
Fomashit is actually pretty nice in sheet film size. This was taken with one of my vintage pictorialist lenses. Love the rendering of this lens so much.

He's not very talented, I don't understand how he's managed to get this far. Most of his pictures are just basic point and shoot, he'll then slap a black and white filter over some of them for reasons I don't understand. I love that his presets are labelled TOP SECRET in his videos so you can't steal his dogshit settings. Also the audacity to charge $120 for 58 presets is hilarious

starting a new one since the last one is reaching limit

I recently bought myself a new softbox, the exact one in pic, and it works surprisingly well. The issue is that it won't stay open all the way, so I need something to prop it open. I've found that using a credit card and ID card work pretty well, but I don't plan on using that for obvious reasons. Anyone have any suggestions to help a retard like me, something light and small?

Do you ever gift gear to newbies or friends or family who want to get into photography? I sent a 50mm Canon EF lens to a friend because he likes photography and photo editing, but he’s got a shit zoom kit lens. It’s really soul to have a bunch of gear laying around so you can give it to someone else.

All video related questions and discussion is intended for this thread. Here we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.
Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.
We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras, and larger) and have interchangeable lenses.
In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.

>The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust has raised concerns over what it describes as the unauthorised use of Ansel Adams’s name and work in an “AI-generated colour version” of his iconic photograph shot in 1942 Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, which was recently exhibited and offered for sale at a major international photography fair.
>In a statement, the Trust said the work “exploited Ansel’s name, reputation, and his most iconic image, while failing to identify any human artist responsible for its creation. The Trust did not authorise, endorse, consent to, or acquiesce in the ‘AI-generated colour version’ of ‘Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico’ exhibited and offered for sale by Danziger Gallery at The Photography Show presented by AIPAD in April. The Trust was not consulted or notified before the work appeared. Once alerted, we reached out to James Danziger in real time, notifying him of the Trust’s rights, and asking for the work to be removed. Correspondence shared with the Trust shows that, despite our formal notice, Mr. Danziger subsequently leveraged Ansel’s name, ‘Moonrise,’ and the AIPAD presentation while pursuing a proposed commercial AI colourisation venture involving other artists’ estates.”
>James Danziger made a response on the Danziger website to Ansel Adams Trust's condemnation by not only mentioning that the image is technically in the public domain, but also wrote: "As for the print itself, while A.I. served as the starting point, the final image involved extensive human intervention, editing, proofing, and refinement over many months."

Toy cameras have "character", up to you if a still from a budget crashcam is "good". Plenty in that range at ChinkExpress, including shipping. At least for EU, dunno about Tariffstan.
Search Ali for G6 Thumb Camera or toy camera, and make sure whatever you find can take photos instead squirting water or whatever...

YEAH I had the UV filter on and I meant to take it off before every shot and put it back on after but I obviously forgot 99% of the time. Is that why the blacks look weird? I was probably too concerned with protecting the front element of the lens. I need a lens cap instead.
>>
pretty based thread you have here anon, thanks
>>4513753
weird blacks are likely caused by scanning
or underexposure and scanning
did you shoot handheld at night?
>>
>>4513764
>did you shoot handheld at night?
nah, tripod. I did underexpose one stop from what the meter said, hoping to preserve more highlight detail because they bloom so much. still, I thought it could be the scans and the lab tech said she adjusted the "density" on some because they looked overexposed. she didn't imply I'd done anything wrong in camera but I can't rule that out, either. there's a lot of decisions in development and scanning I'm not privy to because I'm paying someone else to do it... kinda sucks. she said next time I could ask for flat scans and adjust the black point myself.
>>
>>4513753
I don't think the UV filter should do anything, you can usually just leave it on.

I was asking about filtration just because I noticed the color temperature of the lamps was fairly warm and I figured Sydney would have already gone full globohomo and put up white LEDs everywhere. I also noticed the lights in the windows in the buildings in the background also have a very warm tone to them, but normally lighting in buildings like that is fluorescent (shows up kind of greenish on film) or these days maybe lots of (white) LEDs.

I think it looks nice. Does it look that warm in real life? I hate white lighting and it would be nice to visit somewhere that has warm lighting everywhere.

>I need a lens cap instead.
yeah, they're like $3 for a generic one, just get one.

that’s a good question actually
I don’t have any reference photos from another camera
and it was a bit hard to tell by looking at photos of circular quay at night online
I did find this document online which seems to say heritage areas are to be lit with warm 3000k lighting
I didn’t find anything official but Wikipedia describes circular quay as a heritage area, so those lights around it probably really are as warm as they seem

PCW - Precision Camera Works is looking to take on apprecntice(s). One of the few places that does service on Xpan, Noblex and Mamiya.

The guy is retired, but still takes on repairs. He's pretty swamped and works slow. Sent my camera there last year, just now it was shipped back.

Anyone in Austin, Texas interested in taking this on? Imagine the wealth of parts and knowledge he has,

It's called Programmed Auto which makes sense. You can also do something like locking the ISO, so in that circumstance adjusting the wheel will change the shutter and aperture to get correct exposure.
