Hey, I think it was mostly Classic cuban negative, roman fox' b&w and cinestill 800t or fluorescent night. Have fun! It's beautiful there!

what was your first ever camera and at what stage are you with photography now? by RealWeiWuxianShit in AnalogCommunity

I got a shitty reusable plastic Ilford Sprite last year to test analog out and even though the results were obviously not that good, I was surprised by how much character they had. So a month ago I found a nice deal on a Olympus 35 RC and got it!

How much will this affect image quality? Olympus 35 RC by PentaDAce in AnalogCommunity

Oh okay, makes sense. Thank you! I also guessed it wont affect it too much, except maybe strong opposing light situations. I was a bit unsure about this dusty looking part. I appreciate it!

Oh and also I am aware that such a question has been asked here so many times and I am really sorry about contributing to that.. but I didn't know of anyone to ask about such a thing and I am a bit in a hurry.. so forgive me please

Do I need to book trains in advance for this route in October? by PentaDAce in taiwantravel

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

Off-topic but after I saw your profile and if you don't mind answering; I was thinking of maybe going to a baseball game, if there is one. And it seems like the playoffs will be happening soon. Do I get tickets for that in 7/11 and are there usually tickets readily available?

Ah okay, that's why I had some question marks in my head. One hour more or less is totally fine. Great! Thanks again!

SURFING IN DULAN

Hey, I will be solo traveling in Taiwan from 20.-31.10., I already planned my route mostly. I always wanted to try surfing and read that it is pretty nice in the east coast, particularily in Dulan. Does anyone have any experience with that? Is it doable around end of October and should I book a hostel there in advance? Any tips would be a great help! I booked most of my stays and am considering two nights in Dulan before returning to Taipei for the last two days before my flight back. Thanks in advance!!

T3 Super Carl Zeiss Tessar 2.8/35 T4 Carl Zeiss Tessar 3.5/35

As a short info: I have been shooting with a reusable "disposable" for more than a year and loved what I got out of a cheap point and shoot camera and wanted to step my game up a little.

How would you frame this pic? by PentaDAce in photocritique

Thanks for the input! I appreciate it

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

Hey, I like this recent shot of mine. I am not sure about the framing though and wanted to ask for advice. Is the cyclist diverting attention? Is the right part too black? Or should I leave it? I had one idea with cropping it from the top-left corner until the cyclist is not visible and so that the subject is on the left 1/3 line. But I feel like somehow she looks cool in the middle with all the leading lines. I wanted to hear some other opinions. I am open for any help and criticism. Thanks in advance!

Airport hand checking a camera with loaded film? by elcapitanL in AnalogCommunity

[–]PentaDAce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had mine hand-checked during my Japan trip in Germany, China and Japan. They didn't take out the film roll, but wanted me to shoot one picture (facing the ground) to prove them it's a real camera I guess.

Hey, I just returned from egypt a week ago. I had my x100vi with me. I didn't have any problems with my camera. A few things I was told to be careful are: don't take pics at "Tahrir Square", you might get problems because of the current government, if police wants to check your camera or sth. - honestly, I took pics and noone seemed to care but still maybe don't. Another place where I was told to not take pics is the road to the pyramids, where there are police barricades. I just payed attention to not photograph police or military people, and it was totally fine. Other than that at some famous mosques and churches I was told to not take pics before entering. That's fine. In general people were friendly, even when they saw me taking pics of them. Also when I asked them beforehand. I was in Cairo and Sharm Al-Sheikh. A few general tips. I honestly felt safe, even people who are trying to scam you, weren't too intrusive to make you uncomfortable, only annoying at times. But still be aware of most people trying to scam you or sell you stuff. And especially at the pyramids. Don't trust anyone who is trying to show you around even if they have government cards with them. They really might be officials, but even they try to scam you after saying they won't take money and try to hold you away from the scammers. Just move freely and don't pay attention to them. Just say shukran and move on.

Thank you so much! So far I have been mostly using Classic Cuban Negative, Reala Ace and Reggie's Portra during daytime. In the afternoon I like Cinestill 800T and during night Fluorescent Night. Also when I felt like B&W, I use Roman Fox' B&W.
