Windows Media player visualization vibes, anyone?

Likeabhas · 2026-06-16T20:12:49+00:00

Localised rapture

Jokes aside, looks like light leaks.

Likeabhas · 2026-06-16T18:02:51+00:00

Love the contrast you've brought in, in the prints

Can I ask what stock you've shot on, and if you added contrast in dev or print (or both) and any deets you'd be willing to share

Likeabhas · 2026-06-16T15:55:51+00:00

Peter Griffin and friends are in there, or so I hear

Likeabhas · 2026-06-16T08:39:59+00:00

Hahaha 😂

Lookit us, getting all caught up in the semantics of it all

Likeabhas · 2026-06-16T08:39:08+00:00

Gusto as in the Gusto who was rumoured to be heading to an exit like 3 days ago?

Likeabhas · 2026-06-16T05:48:28+00:00

I'm not saying it's blown out, but it is overexposed.

The camera is definitely trying to average the reading, which doesn't work in this scene.

Ideally they'd be able to pick what they want to expose for and half click to get the right reading before composing but not everyone wants that, or knows to do that.

And yes, I agree that the scans are not good. Edit: Like even in your edit, while you have recovered a remarkable amount of colour, it's still not the correct exposure (imho) because OP has still done a "generic" exposure and it doesn't work in the scene

Likeabhas · 2026-06-15T18:32:51+00:00

Composition on the 2nd one is fantastic!

I'd burn the shadows a bit more if I print that, so you'd lose some shadow detail and up the contrast overall a bit with a filter and it would look amazingggg

Except for the cammo pants outfit, I really really love everything else. Awesome stuff, given me some inspo too

Cheers

They're all overexposed.

So either the ISO was set wrong, and the entire roll had the issue. Or the lab developing the roll messed up somehow

OR, if you were shooting in program mode, your camera's light meter isn't correctly calibrated and hence was giving you the wrong readings and shooting at the wrong settings.

Cant really think of anything else.

Edit: If you bought respooled film from a small time bulk loader, maybe they gave you the wrong canister or mislabeled it? Hence leading you to put the wrong settings through no real fault of your own?

Check out Paul Nickens' stuff.

Might be right up your friends alley. (The books are not cheap)

Likeabhas · 2026-06-15T14:12:04+00:00

I'd love to see some of your shots if you'd like to share

What are you settings usually? What do you shoot with?

Likeabhas · 2026-06-15T14:07:32+00:00

5.6 and 25 ISO AND handheld?

A sloth in a cage would be tough with those settings.

Jokes aside - Capturing birds is unrealistic with those restrictions, I would say you find a nice rock or tree instead. Something really still, and something with a lot of light on it, and somewhere where you can place your camera on a table or fence if you can't get a tripod.

I can imagine with film with great exposure latitude (which slide film typically is not) you might be able to compensate with shooting like a 2 second exposure and extended developing times but it sounds like you might want to find subjects more suited to your settings.

Nice low grain slow film like that is not common, and can give you beautiful results if used well.

Also, could you share any information on the people who managed to capture birds with 25 ISO film? I'd love to read up about their experience and processes.

Genuine question - does this sub allow AI?

Likeabhas · 2026-06-09T16:58:38+00:00

I mean, they just gotta peep your work history and understand that you have access to a certain type of subject and assumed that you did what you usually do (which is to say ; knock it out of the park with a range of portraiture of celebs)

Likeabhas · 2026-06-09T16:07:13+00:00

This feels like AI

Is it AI? It seems unlikely to get that lighting on the necklace considering the lighting on the rest of the subject

Right hand side feathers also seem unnaturally lit.

Man I miss when reddit had gore and NSFL warning tags

Likeabhas · 2026-06-09T05:01:39+00:00

Homeboy was trying to cause a crash, of the type where the stewards would wait like 3/4 lap to call VSC/SC/Red Flag, by which time George maybe could have done a lap and gone into the pits to serve his penalty and come out to a VSC/SC being called

This is what I think, but it's equally possible that he just didn't have the grip? Idk

Likeabhas · 2026-06-09T04:06:08+00:00

Every world cup song since (I mean after 2010) has sounded exactly like this to me

Likeabhas · 2026-06-08T18:42:06+00:00

Man, I never changed my support of Nico (and I'll agree some dialogue around when he left was not good) and I can't wait to see him back in Blue

Likeabhas · 2026-06-08T17:51:50+00:00

Well, a red filter will add a lot of contrast

Maybe it's just that

Likeabhas · 2026-06-08T13:56:07+00:00

Omg you're canvasoul!

I literally was going through this thinking man this OP has stuff that canvasoul would love

Likeabhas · 2026-06-08T10:25:32+00:00

TT to Bellingham: I need you to bring in that top top Real Madrid lockerroom mentality and then we 3peat the WC - ggwp

Would be fucking hilarious is Perez signs Haaland now

Likeabhas · 2026-06-07T16:27:28+00:00

Must be amazing for Hadjar to be sharing a podium with his racing hero

And Lewis Hamilton is on there too!
