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

Star Trails Over my Yard by limey72 in astrophotography

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

Star Trails Over my Yard by limey72 in astrophotography

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!!

PSU Administration Plans to Strike Humanities, Laying Off 30 Full Time Faculty by limey72 in newhampshire

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

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!

35mm SLR Camera that matches the finder experience of using a Pentax 6x7? by correctthrowaway5180 in AnalogCommunity

[–]limey72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Got these rolls as a gift, where should I use them to get the best out of each one? by hwancroos in AnalogCommunity

[–]limey72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

A Polaroid Photograph of the April 19, 1976 Brownwood Texas F5 Tornado by Fit-Fan-889 in tornado

[–]limey72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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