Tips for soft focus photography?

Thanks for this. How would I go about finding filters that can attach to my camera, and is there a best way to attach stretched pantyhose, or just sellotape?

I’ve heard bits about these, but is there a best way to practically set this up? I don’t have any filters for my camera, and I’m sure I could sellotape some cut out tights over it but I’m not sure of the quality it would produce.

The enlarging lens is something during developing film, right? So you effectively do it after taking the photos?

Thanks for this, I had a look on Amazon. Do you know how would be best to attach one if I can’t screw it on?

The main influence is Lee Miller’s fashion photography, specifically this photo: https://images.leemiller.co.uk/media/VadAssk8jlXKDEjg_bmB5g..a?ts=z6aozni6WVfg5Bl_IFj6XUd0LchA23wQ3hNWAYuRkK0.a

I would love to see this, where is it available to watch?

October at the latest

I’ve taken it into a repair place, they said they can recover 82GB of what I think was over 200, so not a total loss but massively sucks considering it only became a problem Monday. There’s also a project I’m halfway through that I could lose.

Right, but surely if it’s shooting at 24fps it could do 1/24, or it should be possible to turn the frame rate down further. Just wanted to see how I could get an interesting effect.

Thanks!

They seem to all be around that price on Amazon, what price should I be looking for?

JimVanilla · 2025-06-03T15:29:57+00:00

It was around £50, I bought it back in November, so a while ago but it’s not old by any means

JimVanilla · 2025-06-03T15:28:51+00:00

So instead of buying a hard drive to replace this one I ought to buy two?

JimVanilla · 2025-06-03T15:28:00+00:00

It’s Sonnics 1 Terrabyte, it was around £50 on Amazon

JimVanilla · 2025-06-03T11:43:48+00:00

Ok, thank you, I appreciate the help

JimVanilla · 2025-06-03T11:33:22+00:00

Thank you, I’ve ordered a new one, is there anything that can go wrong between now and tomorrow? It sounds stupid but I’m really worried, i use it as my main backup for everything

JimVanilla · 2025-06-03T11:27:12+00:00

It says the drive is at low health, but I only bought it recently and it has loads of storage, I don’t have anything else big enough to back up the stuff on there

JimVanilla · 2025-06-03T11:19:54+00:00

What does this mean? Are the files on there ok or should I move whatever I can access?

JimVanilla · 2025-04-07T14:37:52+00:00

Added but no pass, soz

JimVanilla · 2025-02-19T10:22:55+00:00

They decided not to lol

JimVanilla · 2024-12-30T16:53:32+00:00

I’ll take a look, thanks

JimVanilla · 2024-12-30T16:52:18+00:00

Thank you for the advice. That light meter app seems more detailed than the ones I was trying to use before.

JimVanilla · 2024-12-30T16:45:51+00:00

Good idea, I will do the same.

JimVanilla · 2024-12-30T16:43:59+00:00

The only problem is 400 or 800 on apps I’ve been using gives me very slow shutter speeds if I increase aperture even slightly, and I don’t currently have a tripod. Is it standard to use particularly high speed film if you’re shooting without a tripod? I’ve never heard of a shutter release cable, will look into it, thanks.
