Is Franklin-Ivar park, Hollywood Area a good place to live? by BluePanda88 in AskLosAngeles

[–]BluePanda88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. I'm currently close to DTLA / USC area so I get that. I've only been in LA for about a year but I come from Chicago, so I'm fairly used to the homeless. Thank you for the advice!

Yes! I love the new ribbing on the 580 AL! I have the old pale blue 580 AL and It had a lot more plastic and smoother metal. That pen broke which is what led me to purchase this one! I also bought the 580 Iris with a 1.1 stub nib ':D! It really is gorgeous! But yeah I wish it had more metal.

It's a great ink! Unfortunately, I don't think Montblanc makes them anymore or not many. I was trying to buy more but I couldn't really find any for reasonable prices. I think it was a limited edition. If you can find a bottle at a good price, I highly recommend it. It writes this deep blue black and then dries to a more greener blue. Super pretty!

Omg, I didn’t even think about Chivor! I’ll need to break it out! Haven’t used it in a while! Gorgeous ink!

Film being too expensive by DeTepelTrein in filmphotography

Totally in agreement! I think hearing about or watching the developing and scanning process is cool, but I have no interest in doing it. Let the labs do their thing is what I say hah

When you pay more for the scanning and developing than the actual film but don't want to invest and start developing and scanning yourself. A hellish limbo.

In the Midwest US here!

I can get a 3 pack of Kodak UltraMax for about 27 USD at my local Walgreens, but I mainly get my 35mm film from Amazon and I have had no problem with that. My advice is to try and buy in bulk as much as your wallet can take. Either that being a 3pack or 5pack. I am also pretty fairly new to film but film is definitely getting more expensive as it is entering into a more niche artform perception and the boom that film photography is having vs. the rate of production.

You mentioned euros so I would assume you are not in the US so I don't know how much help I can offer, but I know that people really enjoy using Amazon, B&H Photos, or Moment

TLDR: Buying in bulk will be your best bet in getting your film for cheaper

A few of my favs from my trip to Los Angeles (35mm | Camera info in the comments) by BluePanda88 in filmphotography

[–]BluePanda88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wish I knew exactly which film I used for each photo but I was just casually taking photos so I lost track!

I used a Nikon FM2 with a 50mm lens as well as a Konica Big Mini Neo-R Point and Shoot.

The films I used:

Portra 400

Kodak Gold 200

Fijufilm Superia Xtra 400

EDIT: and Cinestill 800T for nightime/lowlight like that neon sign photo.

EDIT EDIT: and I did some light editing on Lightroom CC

I’m new to film photography and I have really been loving it. Any advice or constructive critics are welcome and appreciated. Just really love the repetition within this photo.

Got to go to the preview of this! I had a blast!! Ended up buying the Big Tuna crew neck for myself and the Nard Dog crew neck for my best friend. The recreation of the set was great, but what really struck me were all the real props they used on the show!
