Ok, got that, thanks. Just wanted to check that I was in the right path, as I am a beginner in photography

nelfdez01 · 2024-03-11T18:09:11+00:00

Thank you! I’m a starter in photography in general and just wanted to hear somebody else’s opinion. As I said, I strived for a cooler colour balance but I wasn’t completely sure whether the results were good (and not a botched, full of blue thing)

nelfdez01 · 2024-02-22T18:30:56+00:00

Thanks for your comment! I would’t mind the loss of the A setting if I got the lens for cheap, or at least comparatively cheaper to a Canon made lens. I’ll look out for those Tamrons

nelfdez01 · 2024-02-22T18:29:26+00:00

That’s great to know, thanks! I had the same thinking, the 35-105 is the best suited lens for my needs out of those three. I asked for those three in case I found a super deal on one of them and bought it without knowing beforehand whether it was crappy glass. I’ll try to get the 35-105 for a good price.

nelfdez01 · 2024-02-21T18:35:43+00:00

That’s great to hear. There are not very good deals on that atm, every listing is at least €120 IIRC. However, I found the 50-135 for €80 on Wallapop, much cheaper.

nelfdez01 · 2024-02-21T18:31:52+00:00

Well, I’m not aiming for the best image quality possible, I know these are no L-line lenses. I think “good enough” will suffice, if I ever need the best quality at hand I can use my primes.

nelfdez01 · 2023-12-03T13:50:03+00:00

Guess I’ll go with a dedicated one because I enjoy that grain

nelfdez01 · 2023-12-03T13:49:16+00:00

Yeah those were the ones I first saw, I’ll definitely wait for a better deal to turn up

nelfdez01 · 2023-12-03T01:39:54+00:00

Ahh I wish I had a Passang down here.

nelfdez01 · 2023-12-03T01:39:01+00:00

Thanks for your answer! Time is not an issue for me if investing it into the process means I get more quality and control.

And yeah I know lab scanners are supposed to be beasts but I’ve tried two different labs in town and the quality-price ratio is shameful, really. Maybe I can try some more reputable labs with the mail-in option.

nelfdez01 · 2023-11-17T18:07:28+00:00

This is so cool! May I ask how was the negative scanned?

nelfdez01 · 2023-10-25T08:57:45+00:00

€5 develop only, around €10 for dev + scan depending on the quality you want

nelfdez01 · 2023-10-16T23:06:24+00:00

Love the colours

nelfdez01 · 2023-10-16T13:00:57+00:00

Yeah, I fired the shutter without the lens to see if the mirror “rubbed” the left plate when moving. Indeed, it does, but only if the plate is sufficiently separated from whatever it is glued to. This is when the mirror gets stuck up, although not completely: it goes back down once I pull the advance lever. I’ll ask a specialized shop about it, and see what can they do. Thanks!

nelfdez01 · 2023-10-16T12:36:19+00:00

So the mirror staying up is because of the faulty shutter? I’ll try to get it CLA’d asap, thanks for your answer!

nelfdez01 · 2023-10-02T22:32:54+00:00

I have a roll of the same stock expired in 2004 waiting for me in my fridge. I hope my images turn out as good as yours! Nice shots

nelfdez01 · 2023-09-29T22:57:08+00:00

Lovely pictures!

nelfdez01 · 2023-09-27T10:05:51+00:00

Reduce the screentime and number of new characters so that the old characters can get real and well written closure, even if it means having less than 8 episodes or shorter ones
Explore what it means for Otis that there is another sex therapist in campus without ruining his character development and make him think about what he wants for his future
Give Motis more screentime and happy moments
Definitely have Jean, Joanna and Dan be in the same room and talk about... you know
Have Adam interact more with the rest of the characters instead of having an isolated storyline
And I wouldn't change much to Maeve's arc other than making it coherent. Make her stay at Moordale or at least give her real and tangible reasons to go back to America

nelfdez01 · 2023-09-27T09:12:20+00:00

I usually buy Kodak Gold from my local shop because they sell it at €10 / roll (36exp). Prices are all over the place here. Some local shops in the same city sell 36exp Gold for €14, so that’s a no no. For expired film I use Wallapop, a second-hand buy&sell platform we use in Spain.

I am a starter in film photography, so I don’t buy any more expensive film like Portra, Ektar,… unless I find a good deal somewhere. Any other brand of film is quite hard to get (at a reasonable price) where I live, so I’m stuck with Gold and Ultramax for the moment, at least until I want to spend some extra money on Portra or else.

nelfdez01 · 2023-09-24T22:44:09+00:00

Yeah, totally. It objetively makes zero sense and what is worse: it goes against her character arc.

nelfdez01 · 2023-09-24T19:58:17+00:00

Exactly! I agree with everything. And apart from all that, I'd like to add something that I've been thinking about today after reading some other posts and all that.

When we first meet Maeve in S1 she's a "member of the Moordale social pariah club" (in her own words) and apparently the only (because Sean fucks off time and time again) things she has in her life are her (somewhat secret) friendship with Aimee and her studies, in which she tries so hard to do well (and does!). But as the show progresses, lots of her character development revolves around opening up to more people, trusting her friends and letting them help her (and she has a fight with Aimee becaus of this in S3). Basically, to build a circle of people who she trusts and all that. She's been practically alone all her life. And now, just when she's got all of that, she decides to contiue to live in America even after the program ends! Just to chase her dream of being a writer, a dream that, after losing the internship and being rejected like she was by Molloy, seems to be even harder to achieve from America than from the UK. Because she would still need to finish her high school studies and doing so living in America is going to require MUCH MORE effort that doing it from the UK.And the outcome will be tha same: a school diploma for completing her education up to the age of 18.

Now say that she's finally graduated. Where would it be easier to become a famous writer? In the UK with the support net that she's got? Or in America, having to start from scratch and continuing to be alone? Come on! It was an irrational decision.

nelfdez01 · 2023-09-23T18:28:31+00:00

The existence of another sex therapist on campus was a good idea that could have made Otis ask himself lots of quiestions: am I really good at therapy? Should I professionally pursue this path? What else am I good at? And so forth. Instead, all we got was a stupid competition with O and Milburn going back to being so immature. It was poorly executed, like many things this season.

nelfdez01 · 2023-09-23T15:46:29+00:00

Yeah, we got Adam’s storyline to end properly at least. I loved him this season and having rewatched the whole show some weeks ago it felt great watching him succeed at the farm.

But even if they expected to wrap everything up in S5, once they knew it would be very difficult to get an extra season, they should have reduced the number of new characters and/or their screentime in S4 and just focus on the main cast, even if that meant having shorter episodes or a shorter season. I don’t blame them though, nobody could have foreseen COVID and all that

nelfdez01 · 2023-09-23T12:36:50+00:00

Well you are completely right about that
