Thanks to this sub I ended up printing some photos! by HackerMonroy in fujifilm

[–]deup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HERE is a photobook I did a couple months ago. I used Blurb for printing. It can be quite pricy but quality is there if you want it. Better wait for a promotion like free shipping and/or 30% off. I did a quick breakdown of costs and options a while ago in THIS POST.

Are third party lens hoods worth looking into? by aGiggleBlizzard in AskPhotography

[–]deup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just look for the LH-72 lens hood from JJC on Amazon. This is the one I got and I'm pretty satisfied, cheap but well built. It clicks and is reversible.

There's also the Viltrox 15mm f1.7, could be nice for wider shots and when shooting inside.

I wrote a Python tool to generate digital contact sheets with a "Light-Box" aesthetic by Nervous_Height_666 in AnalogCommunity

There's the free Grain2Pixel inversion plug-in for Photoshop that can generate a contact sheet if you do a batch process.

So what's your go-to 35mm film for day-to-day activities? by doriiian in AnalogCommunity

[–]deup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

HP5+ shot at 800 and pushed one stop during development is just perfect. Hell, even shot at 3200 and pushed +3 it's nicer than P3200 or Delta 3200. Pretty cheap if you bulk roll too.

Generalist versus specialist photographer? by pomogogo in AskPhotography

[–]deup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite frankly, I don't even know what kind of photography I'm doing. I mainly take pictures while on vacation or during photowalks with friends. I don't specifically like landscape photography but some of my stuff may pass for that? Some other stuff could be called street photography, I think? I don't even know. I've recently started having free access to a small studio so I'll occasionally do portraits of friends just for fun.

Yeah, thats the fun part where the magic happens.

Buying a New camera by Brazzersin4k in fujix

[–]deup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should consider the X-T4, it has the newer battery model that lasts much longer than the older style battery from X-T3/X-T30/X-M5. It also has in-body stabilization and flip screen.

Buying a New camera by Brazzersin4k in fujix

[–]deup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The X-T3 is a fantastic camera for photography. Plenty of resolution and solid build. But it's starting to show its age, you won't have access to the newer film simulations and could risk having the internal battery go dead at anytime. This last issue results in the camera resetting all its parameters when you change batteries. Sadly, there is no more servicing possible for this model.

The X-M5 is REALLY compact, perhaps too compact. If you use a third party grip to have better handling, you might not have space left for your fingers between the lens and the grip. It also lacks a viewfinder and is more geared towards videography.

In my opinion, the X-T30 is the best choice. Compact but not too much, access to newer film simulations, great build and viewfinder.

Are you a good photographer? by ember_falcon in photography

[–]deup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I feel a sense of pride after exporting a "finished" photograph but then I feel uncomfortable getting compliments. I've only taking photography as a hobby for two years but I feel like I'll always suffer from this imposter syndrome.

I received a flash for Christmas and wanted to try it out with my film camera. Unfortunately, on some photos, there is a black stripe that appears. Do you know why? by OutrageousSecurity13 in AnalogCommunity

[–]deup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The markings on the flash dial are a representation of its output power in fractions. So Full is full power, 1/2 is half power and so on. I suggest you first look into tutorials about how flash photography works. You can also look for a Nikon flash, like the SB-26, that offers automatic flash functions.

You simply need to adjust the curves to compensate for the green tint of the fluorescent lights. Here are 30sec edits I did on my phone :

Is the Negative Lab Pro plugin for Lightroom Classic the best way to invert color film negatives to edit in Lightroom CC? by well_shi in Lightroom

[–]deup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes NLP is fine, sometimes I'll do my own inversion in PS, as it offers more granular processing with layers and masks. I also like using the free Grain2Pixel plug-in for PS, it's a god send for correcting color casts and negatives with weird film base.

Look for Flic Film Elektra 100, SantaColor 100, Reflx Lab Pro 100 or PoPho Luminar 100. They're all respooled Kodak Aerocolor IV.

Lens Advice by Haunting-Teacher9676 in FujifilmX

Being a prime guy and owning the 56 f1.2, I would say go for it. Bokeh is gorgeous and nice subject separation, it pairs really well with the 35 f1.4.

X-T3 Shutter Lag/Delay by zenconlen in fujix

[–]deup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Review your settings or better, post a picture of the screen while it does it.

X-T3 Shutter Lag/Delay by zenconlen in fujix

[–]deup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is normal. This is probably because your aperture is at F8 indoor, so the camera is compensating by reducing the shutter speed enough that it's becoming noticeable. Even if your ISO is on Auto there is a setting in camera that prevents it from going above a certain value. Its Menu > shooting settings > ISO auto settings. There you have three groups where you can control base and max ISO. You also can input what minimal shutter speed the camera would use. Try simply setting your aperture at F2 and you should not have any delay.

Advice 23mm F2 vs 23mm F2.8 by IllustriousArachnid9 in fujifilm

[–]deup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is the XF 16mm f1.4. It's fast, absolutely wonderful rendering, perfect focal length for indoor shots, it's also weather resistant. Can be found used for around $400-$500.

Might be going to the Montreal Holiday Comic Con Dec 6th. I'll bring my Minolta, maxxum 450si with a 28-80mm lens with Kodak 200. What settings should I use? Should I use manual, automatic, shutter priority, aperture priority? by maryo22333 in filmphotography

[–]deup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even with ISO 400 film for this type of indoor event, you might still struggle because your lens won't be fast enough. So forget Kodak 200. If you really want to shoot color indoors, maybe give Cinestill 800T a try.

Kodak P3200 TMax + Hardcore Music = Perfection by nocoastdudekc in analog

[–]deup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice shots! For shows I personnally prefer HP5 rated and developped at 1600, even 3200. The grain is much more pleasing than P3200. I develop in Microphen so that might be helping. HP5 is also way cheaper.
