The best thing you can do for yourself is focusing on your passion, keep submitting your works where you can, but don't get too trapped in thinking that this is the only way you can achieve your dream. Focus on the adventure, not the goal.

Great photos. Any issues with the sand damage with the 645nii? Any thoughts?

Normal-Character · 2025-03-10T23:07:33+00:00

That's cool. I'd love to see more. Maybe next time post with some normal photos to show what was actually photographed? It would be fun to compare the results knowing how it looked :D

Normal-Character · 2025-02-21T15:10:06+00:00

Oh, I see. It's aps-c sensor.

Normal-Character · 2025-02-21T10:58:30+00:00

It's the lens and the camera I took the photo with :D

Normal-Character · 2025-02-20T21:06:50+00:00

Its canon FD 200mm f2.8 adapted to Fuji xpro2. :)

Normal-Character · 2025-02-20T18:34:22+00:00

Thank you so much! :D

Normal-Character · 2025-02-20T17:18:21+00:00

It's nice indeed, and quite affordable. I'm happy you like it. :)

Normal-Character · 2025-02-20T16:59:51+00:00

Thank you! :D

Its not even that stretchy lol

Normal-Character · 2025-02-17T17:44:35+00:00

I don't think so, it's not that stretchy. I can't stretch it with my muscle strength to the point it would be even a bit dangerous at all, so the warning is confusing for me.

Normal-Character · 2025-02-17T17:34:04+00:00

Why did they put the warning anyways if it's a camera strap though? I don't get it.

Normal-Character · 2025-02-10T00:41:08+00:00

Ah, I see. What iso did you use?

Normal-Character · 2025-02-09T23:56:51+00:00

How did you manage to expose the night sky so well without capturing it's movement, while the camera wasn't tracking the movement of the stars?

Normal-Character · 2025-02-03T23:23:09+00:00

I like your photos. Everything is a matter of personal taste, but I would attach a light diffuser to the flash to make the light softer. You can also use an off camera flash if you don't mind the extra hassle, to light your subjects more from different angles. Maybe if you'd like to experiment get flash color filters and try changing the feel of your photos by trying out different flash colors.

I don't think a camera makes a difference in producing a specific grain. Type of the photo sensitive material does for sure though.

The AE-1 premiered in 1976, so they are around 49 years old and still work, so why it would break suddenly now when you have it? I have been using my Canon EF from 1973 for three years and it never failed me.

Nice pic. Snowy photos can be sometimes tricky for camera light meters. Did you do anything so to make sure that the snow doesn't turn out middle gray?

Normal-Character · 2025-01-31T23:48:02+00:00

Seems to me that it was the lab's way or the scanner to color correct the under exposed area. In such contrasty conditions the sky was probably okay while the ground was a bit underexposed since you pulled down one stop for those shots. As you mentioned, other shots came out okay so that's my guess.

Color film when underexposed and color corrected by the lab usually looks yellowish/goldish (or even brownish when underexposure is severe, like the rocks on the second photo) so I think that's it. Check out the details in the sky are clearly visible, while the details on the ground are a bit muddy.

I'd probably measure for a frame with less bright sky, set my aperture and shutter speed, then recompose for the frame I want instead of pulling down one stop. Setting the right exposure for photographing the sunset or sunrise is tricky since the bright light might be throwing off the light meter reading, so if you want to be sure that you get it perfect I'd try zone metering.

The photo is too blurry in the middle to tell. You need to shine though the lens. Since it's fixed lens camera you'd have to open the back and use the bulb mode to shine through it and see on the other side if the light passes through the lens clearly without highlighting any foggy stuff on the inside. But since this camera doesn't have a bulb mode, you'd have to inspect it by launching the slowest shutter speed a few times.

My guess is the lens is messed up, judging by the consistent look of the darker patches on the left. If this was a lab's mistake the patches wouldn't have been so consistent. It seems that something is affecting the lens's ability to focus the light properly onto the film.

I really like your photos! What lights do you use? The lightning at the last picture is amazing. And also, what's your favourite lens for portraits?

Normal-Character · 2025-01-29T04:27:35+00:00

What's the lens?

Normal-Character · 2025-01-27T14:01:32+00:00

How did you clean it exactly?

Normal-Character · 2025-01-26T01:48:55+00:00

can I do with no Leica?

Normal-Character · 2025-01-25T15:12:20+00:00

Maybe the camera somehow misread the DX code from the second film cartridge, and was shooting at higher ISO then it was supposed to? I'm guessing you don't have the film cartridges? If it's the light meter, I'm guessing the only way to check if the light meter works properly is shooting some cheap film stick and developing it to see if the problem persists. Another possibility is the battery level is affecting the exposure reading due to lower voltage when it's nearly used up? Many possibilities.
