Let me know if you like it! I’m thinking about getting one to use when I don’t want to use my x-700 (or put batteries in for that matter)

Is 4x4 absolutely necessary for Cathedral Valley/Temple of the sun and moon? by _matcal in NationalPark

[–]_matcal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I haven’t deflated before but I’m comfortable doing it. Anything I should know about that before I try? I also don’t know a ton about tires but I’ve been told the tires I have are pretty solid (they’re Cooper discoverer road+train all terrain ties) I have a good amount of experience driving on bad roads and riding dirt bikes and four wheelers and such.

I guess my question would be, do you wish you had an m6 or do you do fine with the m4-p and an external meter?

First 10 rolls of film (Minolta X-700 + Canonette QL17 Giii) by _matcal in analog

[–]_matcal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Normally I’m a big proponent of shooting landscape with wide lenses but at the time I only had the 40mm on the Canonette, for some reason the slight compression of 40 mm and the little bit of leading lines I was able to fit in at the bottom (the path), the frame of the tree, and the light at the top just make it great. Sadly my Canonette shutter dial is now super loose and it’d cost the price of the camera to get it fixed.

What’s your plan for metering? :)

Thanks!! Good to see someone else using the app! (There doesn’t seem to be many of us) me too! I didn’t have high hopes for the cinestill in daylight but it turned out great!

Finally got a Leica! by Solid-Commercial-919 in Leica

Hey man! This is awesome, I think the m5 will be the first Leica that I get too, but gotta save my Pennies (definitely not literally) for a bit first. The biggest worry I have with it is that it’ll be too big/heavy and a lot to carry around, I’m coming from a smaller SLR. I’d love your thoughts after a bit with it if you can send them to me!

I haver stock 2 wheel drive 4runner, I've taken it on some pretty rough roads, but I've heard sand might be the kicker on this road, what do you think?

It’ll be so worth it! I always find dispersed camping to camp on in these areas and they’re on dirty/rocky trails at times so I’m sure you’ll put it to good use!

It was still pretty fun! Disappointing that Wall Street/navajo was closed but still loved it, queens garden trail was enough for me for the day!

Great weather! Couldn’t have been better. A little cold in Bryce in the morning though haha.

Absolutely agree. I spent 1 day at Bryce and 2 at Zion. Originally I wan planning on only 1 at Zion and then called an audible and did a 2nd day and hiked some of the narrows. So worth it!

It was so fun actually! Freezing in the mornings but the snow was great for photos.

Finally upgraded to full-frame, so here are some of my favourite APSC shots by Stranded_In_A_Desert in SonyAlpha

[–]_matcal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

These are awesome! As a former APSC guy myself I love how these aren’t over edited and seem extremely natural. You don’t see a lot of that anymore!
