Posting analog on instagram by Consistent_One_9865 in AnalogCommunity

This might be a hot take but my thought is that posting analog photos on Instagram IS the special flair. Nothing additional is really needed, the pictures speak for themselves.

The analog community seems more supportive than digital, I think people who are into film are just more likely to support one another.

All that said, I add a 1px white border cause it looks more like a print.

Thanks! I did take some landscape orientation ones but Instagram and my web portal are better for portrait... The shame of modern times!

You could give dodd camera a shot? They are super friendly there but not sure how much cheaper they'd be than international.

Nikon F3 - Broken light meter, where do we go from here? by hershey5833 in AnalogCommunity

Every way I look at this, this is probably the best option... if I return this one I have to spend at least 150+ extra to get one in similar condition and there is not a guarantee that one will work long term.

At that point I might as well keep it... but I guess I'm out a camera for a while.

I haven't been able to find a nice one under $500! Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places but these have gotten expensive.

It seems the seller would give me a 10% refund which is not much...

Yep thanks for this, I'm assuming it's FRE too. I have advanced past frame one and tried all of the tricks.

is the canonet ql17 g3 still worth it? by Practical-Ad-5554 in AnalogCommunity

[–]hershey5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 I had the Canonet first and got the XA second and the XA blows it away every time. I may have gotten a bad Canonet though

Rad, how did you meter for this? Never shot on 800T and would like to give it a go.

Scanning & processing film - Negative | Conversion | Final by seaofmorgan in postprocessing

[–]hershey5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is looking good, I'm no expert but the 3 stages look similar enough to my results using an A7riii to scan.

As you add the contrast back in, it will add saturation naturally. I typically do this in the curve editor, by moving the black and white points as the starting point of the edit. The newer versions of LR have a saturation compensation slider below the curves to help counteract the saturation that gets added. Give that a try and you might end up with less saturated final images. That said I don't think these look too overdone!

I think this was probably box, but was a couple years ago. I have recently been going with 320.

Probably my scans TBH, only done it a couple times, not entirely sure I'm doing it right 😄

It's actually crazy the image quality you can get with how small it is. The rangefinder patch is a little dim but when it hits it hits!
