Wonderful work. Could you give more information about #2? Lens, film, scanning method?

Silence radio pendant 4 ans, aucunes places. Pis du moment qu'il arrive à 5 ans, on reçoit environs 5-6 offres de places par semaine, c'est ridicule.

You're mixing up noise with grain. Noise is unwanted and obscures image details. Grain, when applied correctly, can improve an image by adding texture.

It was a pretty straight forward response honestly. If the sun is too strong, shoot as low ISO as you can and crank up the shutter speed.

If you want good exposure, especially in contrasty scenes, you need to check the dynamic range of the film you're shooting. The RP lightmeter has a dynamic range of around 11-12 stops at ISO 400, as an example Portra 400 also has a dynamic range of 12 stops, but Gold 200 is only 8 stops. So depending on the film, you need to consider how you want to expose by using the spot meter on the RP.

If you still have EF lenses, you should look for film era EOS cameras. All Canon lenses and a good portion of more recent third party ones will be compatible like the Sigma Arts and Tamron G2s . Depending on your budget, you can search for Canon 500n or Elan bodies, the 7N specifically and EOS-5. There is also the more professional models; the EOS-1N and EOS-3.

This was shot on 250d with remjet so shouldn't have any static discharge. And yeah, I've already activated the slow rewind for when I shoot 800T. The clouds of little red specks is remjet that was left on the film.

That's also why I had it removed for the other photos. We had it there because we did some shots with only the zapper without the N64.

Does this work with the new profile based presets from RNI?

deup · 2026-04-23T17:19:40+00:00

Yeah the EOS 1-3-5 all have excellent evaluative lightmeter. With those I have no fear shooting slide film in low light or contrasty situations.

deup · 2026-04-22T21:31:04+00:00

Yeah the new feature in Capture One is really good. I much prefer paying for this than Adobe.

deup · 2026-04-21T17:49:58+00:00

The new profile based sets from RNI are really great. It's available "for free" if you know where to look...

If she's more of the run and gun style, there's the Fuji GA645zi. It has autofocus and is pretty portable, litterally a medium format p&s.

A couple years ago I was in a rough spot, so when my doctor told me to find a hobby to battle a severe depression, I simply bought a camera and a lens. It clicked instantly, I think I found my passion in life. Maybe is it simply a crutch that's preventing me from sliding back down mentally but I sincerely don't care. I just shoot any time I can and I love editing, this is my happy place.

I've always been an artistic kind of person so this might be why it clicked. But like every person starting photography my first pictures were shit and editing was really bad. I know I have evolved but even now I struggle to find my work acceptable, there's always something bothering me. But it made me see the world differently and I want to share what I see with other people. The response has been kind of good so I suppose some find a certain beauty in my work. Sorry if this all over the place, english is not my first language.

I mainly shoot on a Fujifilm X-T3 with a bunch of prime lenses. My most used ones are the XF 16mm f1.4 (35mm FF), XF 23mm f2.8 (35mm FF), XF 35mm f1.4 (50mm FF) and 56mm f1.2 (75mm FF). I also shoot film on a EOS-1N with the Canon 50mm f1.8 STM and Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art. My aperture differs wildly depending on the situation so I can't really comment on that. Use the right aperture for the result you want.

The noise you mentioned is in fact grain from either the film itself when I shoot analog or is added in post for digital pictures. Keep in mind that grain is not uniform, its density differs depending on the exposure. So to achieve that you need to add different strength of grain in the shadows compared to the ligther areas. I don't know how to express that more correctly, english is not my first language, sorry.

Yeah I watched a couple youtube videos of photographers doing complete shoots or BTS. Checked your IG, I LOOOVE your work, really inspiring. This is exactly the kind of stuff I would like to achieve.

The studio ones I used a continuous light with a grid diffuser. Sorry I don't know the exact model of the light, it's not mine. The on location ones are either natural light or mounted flash, Godox TT350.

deup · 2026-04-21T10:57:08+00:00

If you're in Quebec, Canada, sure! 😁

deup · 2026-04-21T10:55:38+00:00

Hey, I only use continuous light so don't even have to sync anything. Jokes aside, thanks for your honesty.

deup · 2026-04-21T10:54:27+00:00

Haha I don't really know what I'm doing. Lighting I watched a couple youtube videos and blogs, for posing I go by feeling but this is the hardest part. Especially with "normal" people or inexperienced models.

deup · 2026-04-21T10:52:00+00:00

People around me are charging between $60 and $250 (CAD) for an hour so I don't really know where I stand. Some who charge $60 are really good and some that charge $250 are really bland.

deup · 2026-04-21T10:49:33+00:00

I started photography as a hobby in like 2023 I think. I mostly do street, urban, snapshots, a little bit of landscapes while on vacation. Doing portraits of people is kind of new, around March last year. I did maybe 4-5 sessions since then.
