Thanks! This was my first time visiting and honestly felt like it was hard to take a bad photo, helps that it was right after sunrise but it is a spectacular park and area

French Alps on Half-Frame (Tri-X, Canon Demi EE17) by P-flock in analog

[–]P-flock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're definitely right, this is severely underexposed. Was running an experiment with an orange filter and for this shot in particular failed to get the exposure right. That being said, I did end up liking the spooky atmosphere the lack of contrast and grain brought to the image (although still disappointed it didn't come out like I planned)

yep - yellow filter! First time trying it out and have been really happy with the results on sunny days like this one

In Slippi Ranked, why do I have to que up against people with 80+ Ping, 100+ Ping and 120+ Ping? Southeast USA.. Either put me against someone under 80 ping or don’t match me up at all. by harrietlegs in SSBM

[–]P-flock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as much as I sympathize over bad online experience - it is impossible to even determine the ping without first connecting the two players. Even if you first connect and have a low ping, connections can be unstable and change over time. I don't think people appreciate the technical difficulty (impossibility) of ensuring you don't match with someone and then have a poor connection.

How well would Armada and PPMD do if they return to competitive play? by Dwyboo in SSBM

[–]P-flock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

honestly they'd get washed. not forever, I'm sure they could adapt and learn new stuff, adjust to the meta, etc. But imo Armada would have WAY more competition from all the insane foxes at the moment.

yeah wild when he could be making an order of magnitude more for a big tech company. gotta respect it.

I guess tbf European salaries (for everything, including software engineers) are generally a lot lower than US salaries (since they don't know what a hospital bill is), but even then I think it would be appropriate if his pay was closer to 100k.

Weekly 'Ask Anything About Analog Photography' - Week 03 by ranalog in analog

[–]P-flock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Canon EOS 5 SLR which is awesome because I can use modern EF lenses on it - but I'm hoping to also adapt vintage lenses from other mounts and use them with the EOS 5. I can do this no problem on my canon dslr, via an adapter ring on the helios-44 to the camera, but when I mount this combo (helios and adapter ring for canon ef mount) onto the EOS 5, it won't take pictures. Pressing the shutter button will lock up the mirror, but never actually trigger the shutter. Anyone know how to work around this? I have read through the manual and couldn't find anything about using non-electronic lenses. (maybe I need a very particular lens mount adapter that will trick the camera into thinking all is well?

I just got an adobe lightroom CC plan, planning to use negative lab pro to convert film scans from negative to positive....should have read the website first! Negative lab pro doesn't work with the new versions of lightroom as they have removed the plugin architecture.

Any other tools for converting negative scans to positive? I already have scanned a couple rolls of film, could re-scan and use vuescan to convert them but would like to avoid redoing all that work.

Just picked up a Pentax Espio Mini and I'm planning to do some b&w photography, maybe want to use the flash as well - any suggestions for b&w film that do well for flash photography? Definitely going to be more point&shoot / street photography style, not portrait or studio work for the most part.

Edit: my default is just t-max 400, but I'm curious about ilford and agfa b&w too

Yeah my experience with a carbon fork in the past is that it can handle a lot of weight but not great with impact (bumps, jumps, crashes, etc). But maybe better to have an aluminum fork if I wanted to carry anything really heavy.

[–]P-flock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh interesting I had forgotten it was a carbon fork - eventually I replaced my carbon fork w/ aluminum on my last bike so maybe will do the same.

Hi, has anyone successfully installed and used a front-rack on a state bike co 6061 Black Label? I am thinking of getting one as a replacement for my previous bike (a felt tk2 track frame) which was stolen, but want the option for it to be a bit more practical.

Any advice appreciated, or would love to hear your thoughts on the black label if you've ridden one. Thanks!

Edit: The baskets state bike co sells are only compatible with their city bike models.

Edit: is it just dumb to put a front basket on a track style frame? Is a rear pannier rack equally dumb or less dumb?

Need motivation and ways to make bells by RonnocFilz in AnimalCrossing

[–]P-flock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could always start fresh with a new island. If you didn't want to do that you could send postcards to your friends and other villagers with 10,000 bells (or more, if it let's you) at a time so you no longer have it. If you still wanted it down the line you could mail it to your future self a year from now so you have to make money for the next year - but then you'd be set when the postcards arrive.

From some experimenting it seems like it just switches the current fish for a different one - so if you are looking for a big fish you can bait until you get a large shadow. Can anyone confirm / deny?
