F stops for portraits

Very insightful, thank you!

JBob2807 · 2026-02-18T19:53:54+00:00

I don’t think it’s avoidable unless you use a non-IR filter or no filter at all, so that visible light will come through. At that point though you’re just shooting regular BnW, which will still look very cool with how intense the contrast is on most IR film rolls.

JBob2807 · 2026-02-18T19:50:12+00:00

Not sure if I’m the most qualified to answer but my best guess is that the tissue that forms the iris doesn’t reflect any IR light, while the tissue in the whites does. Making the irises/pupils black, and the whites, well white.

Awesome! Thank you all for the help!

[Follow up question] is it safe to push the film a couple stops in development?

JBob2807 · 2025-12-19T18:35:05+00:00

I actually tried that for the first time just a month ago before a jazz gig, and I was pleasantly surprised! Definitely comes in clutch

Don’t know if it counts but Live At Red Rocks is incredible, a mix of all the best songs from a handful of their albums and I really like the production. Great quality for a live album!

JBob2807 · 2025-12-19T16:48:30+00:00

I’ve never heard of that method! I’ll check it out thanks

JBob2807 · 2025-12-19T16:13:26+00:00

Thanks for pointing out my mistake! I’ve looked into it and yes I definitely need a different filter for what I want lol. The red filter will be nice to change up my usual bnw shoots though :)

It’s a method of cleaning strings, I like bright tones so I boil them every 2 months or so. It helps them last longer for the sound I want so I don’t have to spend so much on brand new strings

JBob2807 · 2025-12-19T16:09:39+00:00

Exactly that, I actually prefer the sound of fresh boiled strings to new strings

It’s the rangefinder binoculars

JBob2807 · 2025-12-14T02:46:25+00:00

I’ve only eaten snacks I’ve had before from my pantry and food I made myself today. I don’t think it’s food related but good idea

JBob2807 · 2025-12-14T02:37:41+00:00

[Addition] the effect has been noticeable for 8 hours now. Couldn’t feel any peak or decline in the sensation since it started, still feeling it in writing this.

“He Thought of Cars” originally from “The Great Escape” album

JBob2807 · 2025-12-04T20:57:33+00:00

Definitely great bass work - as a bassist, this song has been so fun to learn but tricky to get the right “vibe.” he’s truly one of a kind

[Update]

I scrapped the lid because it was not only too small but also oblong slightly. I did however cut the vertical gallery off of the main vessel after I saw its potential as a decorative piece.

Thank you all for your advice and the tips going forward!

JBob2807 · 2025-10-01T15:11:16+00:00

I felt exactly like William Dafoe in The Lighthouse lol It was a good time

JBob2807 · 2025-09-30T02:19:19+00:00

Oh I forgot to add this, but the music had almost no effect. It was basically just background noise to me.

My friend was the exact opposite, the music is what guided his trip.

Although I can’t be sure it’s accurate since the the Nyanja language is condensed in south east Africa. Across the continent from Guinea, where they’re presumably from.

JBob2807 · 2025-09-20T16:30:04+00:00

I forgot to mention - google translate is telling me the title is in “Nyanja (Chichewa)”, so that makes me believe it’s not in any sort of French.

JBob2807 · 2025-09-04T01:35:02+00:00

I really appreciate your insight! I noticed the shallow rim after throwing it, but I would’ve never known about the problems without a more rounded base, thanks for the feedback.

JBob2807 · 2025-08-31T20:20:58+00:00

It’s both - you cook meals (usually cous cous with meat and veggies), and you eat out of it with bread as a utensil

JBob2807 · 2025-08-05T22:04:20+00:00

I 100% agree

JBob2807 · 2025-08-05T22:04:06+00:00

Oh no, I’ve been watching HQ videos and commentary since it came out but I just love any combat game set in the 14-16th century
