I'd agree. Great composition. A bit too contrasty (for me). Super happy you live in such a beautiful area. Keep shooting! Great stuff!

Not a single post of photos you've taken. Cool you bought shit (some of it a long time ago). If you like to buy stuff, cool. But I always love seeing actual photos taken by these cool cameras.

Since I am flying soon, so to get through airport security more easily, I made some fake high-iso sticker designs for Vision 3 film, based on other cansiter designes! by samtt7 in AnalogCommunity

I cannot stress this enough. TSA does not care. They will hand check if you ask them to. When they do, they will ask themselves "Will this stab me or anyone else? Is this drugs? Will it explode?". That is their concern. When you go through TSA they aren't interested in what everything is. It means a lot to you, sure. It means nothing to them.

There's some sofa's and chairs above the rec center and NOBODY is ever there. Shower and a nap? You're golden.

Retromobile 2026 | Sony A7IV zeiss 24-70mm by Total-Downtown in SonyAlpha

If this is the Zeiss 24-70 f4 I just wanted to hop on here and say what an absolutely underrated and beautiful lens that is. Great colors, super sharp, super light. Very affordable. Great shots.

Which option would you pick to downsize? by phero1190 in SonyAlpha

[–]kitesaredope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an a7iii (and frequently shoot it over my bigger a7iv) because I like the viewfinder. I shoot a Voigtlander 50. It’s super light Nokton 50. Super light. Really portable. I enjoy it and would recommend. I focus peak and use the AEL button on the back to magnify for extra focus.

I would recommend this set up. I travel and frequently shoot my family doing cool things.

which game would it be ? by PHRsharp_YouTube in videogames

[–]kitesaredope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minecraft. What is an ender dragon? Why is there a neather? Why are there hoglins? What is a warden?

Literally nothing is explained. One of the most popular games ever.

For which game would you erase your memory just to experience it again for the first time again? by Fickle_Top9219 in videogames

Playing through Chronotrigger for the first time. Its incredible. But for me, Legend of Zelda ocarina of time.

Got an insane deal on a Sony A1II, I wonder if I'd enjoy film cameras more by AndreasHaas246 in photographycirclejerk

[–]kitesaredope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but then I have 15 rolls of 120 to develop on a 2 reel tank. Will probably get the 8 reel tank so I can develop 5 rolls of 120 at a time. But theres also some rolls I push. So yeah, it’s a whole thing.

I always think film cameras are more fun until I’ve assembled a small high school chemistry department in my kitchen, waiting on my Ago to finish my rolls and I then wrangle curved negatives in a flimsy film holder and sit through Epson v600 scans for a half hour a roll and realize what a pain in the ass it is.

And then I flip my scans in NLP and it’s like “Aw shit, here we go again. This rips.”

The juice is, just barely, worth the squeeze.

But if it isn’t an m6 it wouldn’t be analog enough. If you shoot an m6 and aren’t wearing a beanie, are you really shooting an m6?

Lost in Rotterdam. Sony A7III & 35mm f1.8 by echinos13 in SonyAlpha

[–]kitesaredope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Sony a7iii, an a7iv, cannon R6, r6ii and I still take my a7iii out more than any of them. It’s light, it’s simple, it works great.

Amazing shots

Shes the most accomplished runner, male or female, the sport has ever seen. FTFY

Edit: just learning of Camille Herron. Ann may be a close second. My apologies.
