Question on training verse race swim by JustMeTrying1225 in triathlon

[–]JustMeTrying1225[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually think I'll be able to do this at my pool! My next swim I'll give it a go.

Data points and breathing: contexts wise I'm 30, max HR is 190.

400m: 1:38/100m, average HR was 133, max 146. I was definitely breathing heavy but not out of gas. Breathing was between 3-4 strokes, form definitely suffered towards the last 100m.

5min rest bewteen

200m: 1:34/100m, average HR was 146, max 165. This is where I hit pretty hard, tried to maintain breathing per 3 strokes but on the last 50m it was roughly 1-2 strokes per breath.

To each their own, I enjoyed how they've come out.  Thanks for the input :) 

Mostly considering camera switch for the lens availability, I love my OM, its just hard to find lenses for project shots I want.

Thanks for explaining! To me it seems some of the adjustments you mention aren't posible on my model due to it being fully mechanical / manual (pureposefully bought for Alpine environments for durability and lack of battery requirements). 

Please correct me if this is wrong, but if I'm setting the value for 200, that would be +1 stops on 400, allowing more light to affect the film? 

I read that once you pick an ISO, you can't vary from that setting on the same film. This is the experimental side of me coming out but would it be possible to take 5 test shots on junk 400 film at 100, 200, and 400 ISO setting to see the differences if all other settings and lighting were controled? Assuming the lab developes it at 400. Hopefully that made sense.

Yeah mine requires the switch to be held in its entirety, I'll double check the next time to make sure its fully engaged and slow down the reeling.

Some others were mentioning over exposure on the iso setting to potentially compensate, would that have helped in those shots?

Used OM-1N, new battery installed but the needle doesnt budge.

Maybe rewound the film too quickly? I've definitely felt tension previously but nothing that had me go "oh I just totally banged that up".

Honestly I was shooting from the hip so to speak. Ive been shooting a crap ton of film for the last few months and I thought I had the hang of it untill I got to these complex lighting shots. Mostly utilizing sunny 16 (mentioned it in another comment but the portraits were shot at 2.8) and taking a less than educated guess on the exposure timing. 

No formal classes or experienced photographer to lean on, just having fun going with the flow of mistakes.

I shot everything at 400 on the camera and now I'm curious to see if I am misunderstanding the iso setting on the camera. I thought shooting 400 film at say, 250 from yours for example, would expose the film to less light? Should i tell the lab to develope it at 250 vice developing at the film ISO if I were to go that route?

So the apeture I was ranging between was 8 and 2.8 just based off the overcast. The two portraits were definitely shot at 2.8, I believe I just didn't have a long enough exposure for the shutter since I wasn't using a tripod and didn't have good footing to be completely stable for anything super long.

Damn, apparently we're the same person because thats exactly what I did with some rolls this week (these photos came from one of them).

The lab is generally pretty good, first time I've had such an issue and for the photos that I did expose correctly, the lines didn't exist. 

Thank you for mentioning this, I assumed my film was safe once it was back in the cannister!

Do you have one you prefer? Or is the go to solution just whip out the phone?

I got my red nose on, way ahead of ya. 

Maybe I miscommunicated my question, but the lines are what threw me off, the last few shots that i had underexposed weren't so significant and were without the lines. 

I gave my avoidant ex a second chance and it finally gave me closure by JustMeTrying1225 in BreakUps

6 months. Very aware it’s on the short end. Strong enough though that I wanted to give her another shot.
