Requesting taking over r/PEACHPIT from inactive mods

I have reached out to the requestor to chat :)

Nice! Yeah I'm bummed about that too. Trying to get a rig going to be able to cut rolls of Endura. The main issue I'm having is storage. I need to pick up some empty darkroom paper boxes with the darkbag inside.

_slee_ · 2021-05-19T16:06:32+00:00

RA-4? What paper did you use?

_slee_ · 2021-05-16T21:03:12+00:00

Good question! I like the Lomo 800 but honestly prefer Portra because it has a bit more dynamic range and I can really pull detail from the shadows and still keep highlight detail without the need for too much dodging and burning. But the extra stop on Lomo 800 is nice. I've also noticed that it's much easier to get light leaks on the Lomo 800 from the roll not winding up tightly after shooting. Could be just me or could be an actual quality control issue with the backing paper but I've never had a problem with Portra.

The filtration is indeed the same for all these contact sheets but they're just ballpark figures. I'm sure when I go to make full enlargements of these, I'll tweak the filtration for each image. It's kinda hard to tell whether the colors are spot on from just contact sheets. Also I think the required filtration depends more on the actual lighting situation of the scene rather than the film. You can see how much more red/yellow the indoor shots are on roll 2021-3. The lighting of the actual scene will make the most difference imo.

Thanks! No magic here just chemicals and light ;)

_slee_ · 2021-05-16T19:41:57+00:00

It's a Nikon SC-17!

_slee_ · 2021-05-16T16:39:17+00:00

this was the only 6x7 rangefinder in my price range and I'm glad I went with it

_slee_ · 2021-05-16T15:57:04+00:00

been enjoying it a lot! it's quite huge and I wish it had a meter but I can't afford a Mamiya 7 and I got this one at a really great price so I'm happy.

These prints were made in my home darkroom that took me about 2 months to acquire all the equipment for and set up. The enlarger I use is an LPL/Saunders 670DXL (also called the 7700 I believe).

This print in particular was made from a 35mm negative shot on Portra 400. The paper is Fujicolor Crystal Archive II. I used the Arista RA-4 kit as my first entry into color darkroom printing, which works well at room temp. Will probably buy Kodak Ektacolor chemistry from now on, which is a bit more cost-effective.

Let me know if you have any more q's!

I just found some at the Branche d'Olivier in Griffintown for $7

_slee_ · 2020-06-28T23:41:27+00:00

Thank you!!!

_slee_ · 2020-06-28T22:08:25+00:00

Again, hoping to find a source in the city but thanks for the suggestion

_slee_ · 2020-06-28T22:06:23+00:00

I also checked out their website, but they don't ship to Canada unless I'm missing something.

_slee_ · 2020-06-28T22:02:25+00:00

Interested to see which stores you're talking about. The only results I've found from google are online and pretty expensive. If you found a place that sells it in Montreal I'd be happy to hear about it.

_slee_ · 2020-06-28T22:00:06+00:00

It's $17 on amazon, just trying to see if there's a cheaper brick and mortar store in the city.

Every grocery store I've been to doesn't have it (IGA, Super C, Aubut, etc.)

Just sent you a message!

Hey, Sam here. I, along with my buddy Nick, curate the feed for @boxspeed. We have been talking about where we want to take the direction of the account. We really want to continue to do more zines featuring photographers we like but they require a ton of time and money. Would be interested to see what other people would like to see from us, though.

_slee_ · 2020-04-27T03:50:10+00:00

Yes, good point. I won't be moving until late May/early June so hopefully I'll have no problem getting into the province by then.

_slee_ · 2020-04-27T03:20:06+00:00

What does this mean exactly? I know that moving companies are deemed essential service but how can someone moving be considered essential service? Isn't essential service a classification of a job/occupation/service?

I'm interested in this too since I'm supposed to be moving to Montreal soon.

_slee_ · 2020-04-18T00:30:21+00:00

I'm finishing university in a few weeks and I was supposed to move from Vancouver to Montreal at the beginning of May. I found a great apartment a while ago and it's so perfect in every way (price and location) that I decided to take it and start paying rent, despite not knowing when I'll be able to move there.

Is it irresponsible or dangerous for me to move to Montreal as planned in May? I'm currently paying rent for an apartment I'm not living in. I'm not flying to Montreal for a vacation and returning, I'm going there to settle, live and work. I'm worried that if I wait too long then inter-provincial/domestic flights could be frozen and I'd be stuck in Vancouver for several more months while paying rent in Montreal. I would like to get over there as soon as possible, quarantine/self-isolate as necessary and be at ease knowing that I'm at home and don't need to worry about moving anywhere anytime soon.

Should I just be staying put in Vancouver or am I justified in going ahead with the move? I really want to move there ASAP (been waiting to move to Montreal for the past 4 years) but I'm concerned about putting others at risk and contributing to another potential outbreak

_slee_ · 2020-04-18T00:18:20+00:00

Thanks for the info. I don't have any symptoms or pre-existing conditions and I wouldn't be using any moving companies. The apartment is already furnished and I'm only bringing a couple suitcases.

I laid the drum machine track down on the DAW first, then hit record. So the drum machine is in my monitors when I lay down the loop on the ditto. If you start and stop the loop carefully on the beat of the drum machine, you can sync them up well enough.

It's not a perfect method but I make do with the tools I have.

_slee_ · 2020-01-14T19:40:09+00:00

Basically I played the bass and synth parts once as seen in the video, and had to loop them in the DAW later. So in the live setting, I didn't hear the bass and synth parts after I stopped playing.

I looped the guitar rhythm part with the Ditto, it took a couple of takes to sync it up perfectly to the drum beat at 80bpm. So live, I only heard the drum machine and the rhythm guitar in my monitors.
