I just hope it stops raining for a single hour after it is dark so I can go outside and try…
Hey EQ, was it difficult to swap the focus screen? I got a bunch of old manual lenses from my dad and it's a bit of a mess to focus. Some M42-EOS adapters have the chip so the camera can confirm focus, but unfortunately I don't have that one. Also, one of the lenses has what seems to be a Nikon bayonet? Anyone knows for…
This was taken with my cellphone 2/22/08, only just pulled it out... empty lot owned by my old workplacethe manager peppered boulders over it to stop people tearing it up in their trucks, so they just started taking the stones home with them. Skies were always gorgeous out there; smuggled hundreds of photos over the…
I figured it was about time I jumped in here! This last semester I've been taking a old-school 35mm black and white photography class. This was shot using a 35mm Canon camera with a 50-80mm lens and Ilford HP5 400 APA black and white film. I developed the film by hand in a 5-step chemical process in the university…
Some VERY nice shots in here recently. Here are a couple of stills from a low light video test on my hacked Lumix GH2. I know it's not strictly photos, but I'm very happy with the capabilities of this little micro 4/3 camera. I have an adapter coming which will let me use my old prime lenses with it. There's a link to the…
Haha, congrats poopinmymouth! Be sure to take some shots looking down on your subjects. I'm finishing up the 35mm class I've been taking and I decided to shoot my final project on "The Forgotten Railroad Heritage of Central Virginia." The area that I live in used to be a very busy railroad hub and the remains of the…
These are some pics I did when I had a Pentax SLR, also was the first time I shot with an SLR, developed and made prints so hopefully they turned out decent. Been wanting to get back into B&W stuff but I have no space to build a dark room in my parents place so anyone know the cost at developing negatives in a store? Also…
Yeah I was really happy with that! Old Sigma 50mm 2.8 macro, with tamron 1.7x TC = 75mm macro lens. I'm a little surprised by how sharp it is through that TC, very happy with the performance there. Makes a nice alternative to the more expensive Sigma 70mm 2.8 or Tamron 90mm 2.8 lenses, even if its really a ~4.0 or 4.5, I…
Oh, I got a lot to learn, I know that, only a shoddy workman blames his tools. But this 350d body is quite old, I already bought it second hand, some signs of wear and I lost the rubber visor where you look into. But the biggest problem is the stock lenses I've been using (18-55). I definitely need something better, I'd…
Yea it can get annoying, but you can also use such occurrences to your advantage. Whenever people come up to me while I am in the process of photographing and want to talk (typically my old cameras attract a lot of attention) I usually use that as an opportunity to take their portrait. And things like people making Victory…
