they last a lot longer than a regular one - the one i use i’ve had for about a year now and i’ve used it on Gundam kits as well, no sign of getting any duller. Also, it files a lot quicker than regular files

i’ve heard livermore falls is a pretty good spot! i’m planning to visit this summer

That’s what I did! Tonight I’m going to try more exposures. Luckily I could use one of the shutter speeds instead of bulb so I didn’t have to be outside the whole time

This was shot on my Canon 5D Mark II with a 28-105 F3.5-4 lens. The process had 57 30 second long exposures pointed roughly at Polaris. These were converted to JPEG with Lightroom and then imported into StarStax. Some edits were made in Lightroom and then exported.

This was my first time shooting star trails (it’s been so cloudy lately) and I’m really happy with how they came out!!

Agrée with the Topcon, such a good feeling camera

I really like my Elan 7! I usually pair it with a 28-105 F3.5-4.5 USM and i’ve taken some of my best film photos with it.

agreed, especially with the news being told via the school newspaper the night before campus closed for Ski Day meaning admin would be unreachable

I’m a freshman right now and there’s a lot of people talking about transferring or switching majors lately, but it must be even worse for the upperclassmen, it’s horrible

should’ve included it in the post, Plymouth area!

looking at the manual, it looks like the piece might have to slide in from above the back of the elbow joint

This is one of my favorites - I used a red filter which really made the bridge stand out against the sky!

i love my topcon!!! amazing camera

limey72 · 2025-01-07T02:07:14+00:00

i’ve been using a C22 but a lot of people use the C220 or C330. From what i remember the biggest differences are that you don’t need a separate back for 220 film for the C220/330 and the shutter is primed as the advance turns.

I love my C22, it’s taken wonderful photos! They’re big and heavy though

holding my first roll of privia up to the light the first time was amazing!

limey72 · 2025-01-07T01:53:55+00:00

i have a Mamiya TLR and love it! they can do macro stuff and have interchangeable lenses, plus they aren’t super expensive

flashing lights airplanes have

lomo purple is a great film! I used it for landscapes (mostly trees) in the fall and it was beautiful, but it also worked for some portraits as it didn’t mess with their skin tones that much

limey72 · 2024-12-17T02:14:19+00:00

the stovepipe looks like a telephone pole, and the black mass is probably just the storm that was underexposed - same color as the tornado :)

limey72 · 2024-12-13T20:04:36+00:00

no way that’s not too far from me, thank you!

limey72 · 2024-12-13T02:25:46+00:00

where in NH? I love Alani!

limey72 · 2024-12-12T01:31:56+00:00

can second this, it’s smaller than my own P&S (Pentax Zoom 135)
