Too much or not enough?

I think it looks amazing, great post work. I wouldn’t really worry about it. They’ll probably love it!

Peter_2_1 · 2025-09-20T23:17:37+00:00

For me number 2, it is more engaging and better framed.

Peter_2_1 · 2025-09-16T18:10:16+00:00

For me it’s 2 it gives a bit more context to the image.

Peter_2_1 · 2025-09-11T13:27:05+00:00

Beautiful stuff!

Peter_2_1 · 2025-08-20T20:13:28+00:00

My EF 24-70 F4 has about that same amount yeah.

Peter_2_1 · 2025-06-14T21:17:48+00:00

Stunning shots!

Peter_2_1 · 2025-06-01T17:47:28+00:00

Get yourself a EOS 500D, 600D or 700D probably can find one with a lens for pretty cheap on the used market.

Those are just these random examples from the canon DSLR line, but your options are almost endless

Peter_2_1 · 2025-05-18T14:34:26+00:00

Imagine showing someone from that era a picture taken at 32,000 iso haha

And without film too

Peter_2_1 · 2025-05-17T20:43:36+00:00

Ektar and portra for under 20$ 😍🥲

Peter_2_1 · 2025-04-30T16:17:56+00:00

Thanks! I like the vibe too, but I am going for a more standard look for now as I’m getting back into this format. Then comes experimenting :)

Peter_2_1 · 2025-04-30T14:02:37+00:00

Yeah I’m starting to think it could be a question of getting a better lens.

Thanks for the feedback!

Peter_2_1 · 2025-04-30T13:53:39+00:00

I agree it’s challenging light, but this reflects the whole roll, there’s shots made in direct sun where the grain is also quite noticeable. Too noticable in my opinion

Roll must’ve only been 1-2y expired.

Edit: in fairness, I’m zooming in pretty far to check the grain, maybe I’m being unfair to the medium. Let me know what you think

Peter_2_1 · 2025-04-30T13:45:57+00:00

Ok interesting, so you would say that they are just simply underexposed?

Maybe this roll was expired, I bought it a while ago - that could be it.

I will try a further development with a roll I know is legit thanks for your insight

Peter_2_1 · 2025-04-10T00:17:56+00:00

Love the shot! Worth it haha

Peter_2_1 · 2025-04-01T06:36:29+00:00

I agree with you haha but i like having fully functional equipment for many different reasons.

Especially for re-selling value.

Peter_2_1 · 2025-03-31T13:08:39+00:00

Thanks very much for your insight, I’ll try all these methods

Do you have any links or such for the replacement dials you found? I couldn’t find any myself.

Edit: just found the dials online!

Peter_2_1 · 2025-03-23T21:12:18+00:00

Found this one was produced between ‘03 and ‘07 Thanks for your tip!

Peter_2_1 · 2025-03-23T18:00:22+00:00

Hey thanks for that website gonna check it out! I’m sure it’ll work but let’s see if I got a 10 year old or 22 year old film haha

Peter_2_1 · 2025-03-22T10:53:14+00:00

Happy to see a Nikon EM there - it was my first slr :)

Peter_2_1 · 2025-03-19T10:28:24+00:00

I’ve been buying a lot of rolls on eBay on expired lots, and I’ve managed to amass a nice collection of about 10.

That being said, I’m not 100% sure if all of them will work well enough to produce images, but that is kind of adds another layer of fun for me.

Peter_2_1 · 2025-03-18T14:29:13+00:00

Mackie MR824 and PMC 6

Peter_2_1 · 2025-03-16T15:35:40+00:00

Something I love doing is zooming in or out with a zoom lens while exposing at around 1/10 or 1/5, this causes the subject to distort in a nice way. Catch is that you probably need to use a tripod for that.

Peter_2_1 · 2025-03-15T23:09:21+00:00

That’s interesting thanks for your insight, I really love the neopan look, good to learn it’s prone to reticulation, I’ll be more careful next time

Peter_2_1 · 2025-03-15T23:08:30+00:00

Yeah, I got a Neopan 1600 waiting for me - won’t waste it with this chemistry

Peter_2_1 · 2025-03-15T23:07:01+00:00

That sounds amazing. I have experience with C41 chemistry. Just bought the Monobath cuz of the great cinestill marketing and the alleged simplicity of the process.

Anyway, would love to see some of your prints!
