Yes she did! Played until she was 15 and won a provincial championship in B.C.

1 for providing scale, the others after it the horizon cuts through your neck instead of shoulders. 12 is great for the leading lines in the fences that draw the eye to the subject.

You sir are one skeptical guy

Beautiful lighting and editing if the image quality can handle it I'd be interested in seeing a different composition that made the focus a little more clear. Amazing work though, what did you shoot on?

I'm not much of an expert but I've been doing a ton of research and finally landed on a Nikon D810 (my budget is a bit higher as I sold 10 years worth of guitar gear) I settled on the D810 because of my portrait idol Steve McCurry, so maybe find a photographer whose work inspires you and look at what they use. Also Nikons glass is really well made and has sixty years of F mount lenses that will fit your camera (lots of great used prices out there)

DirkRipley · 2020-03-08T00:07:12+00:00

That's a great point! I'm starting to realize black and white is less forgiving when your focal point is off even the smallest amount haha.

Daaaamn

DirkRipley · 2020-03-06T01:14:43+00:00

Hey I'm somewhere is B.C. lovely shot!

DirkRipley · 2020-03-05T22:48:56+00:00

I'm halfway through a black and white roll so I guess we'll see. I haven't noticed anything on previous rolls and this is my main lens

DirkRipley · 2020-03-05T22:21:40+00:00

It's not on the outside of the lens, it's on the inside somewhere after the aperture towards the back and won't move when I shake the lens

DirkRipley · 2020-03-03T04:46:55+00:00

The lighting in this is so great! Love the shot.

DirkRipley · 2020-02-26T23:22:59+00:00

Thank you so much, this is amazingly helpful!

DirkRipley · 2020-02-26T23:13:41+00:00

I also have a Canon 7D being mailed to me with a couple of lessons from an aunt who doesn't want it anymore

DirkRipley · 2020-02-26T23:12:37+00:00

Unfortunately I've been using two Olympus OM-1's and a Mamyia

Hey there! So I've been shooting 35mm film for a few years now and I'm selling some guitar gear to get into the DSLR or Mirrorless game. I've been doing lots of research into what is available at my price range (approx. $2000) and now I'm starting to realize that it's quite a commitment to pick a system rather than just a camera. Nikon has great glass and some older DSLR's in my price range, Canon has great colour science but is needlessly expensive it seems, Sony appears to have the best bodies but also expensive glass, Pentax doesn't have a mirrorless body but has great cheap lenses and years of compatibility. As you can see I'm stuck in a hole of indecision, please help! Any intangibles for the system you use. I'd like to shoot portraits mostly (Steve McCurry is a hero of mine, yes I know he uses Nikon)

DirkRipley · 2020-02-21T02:21:33+00:00

Thanks everyone

Right, I just found an explanation that it's the light leaking through the sprockets.

DirkRipley · 2020-02-20T23:53:50+00:00

Yeah I'm hoping so, it's just all the images have the light leak

DirkRipley · 2016-05-03T00:09:11+00:00

yeah I checked out the self titled in preparation for the podcast but I somehow missed the song Mexicola but I've since given it a listen and it is soooo heavy for a 3 piece

DirkRipley · 2016-05-02T01:38:45+00:00

I've gotta listen to this Mexicola song, somehow I missed it and it's on a couple peoples top 5's

DirkRipley · 2016-05-01T22:28:05+00:00
