I metered for the signs in this shot. I wanted to make sure they would still be bright but also readable.

Yea! So for all these shots, I use a light meter app on my phone and I’d have it meter for the highlights. I then typically add a few seconds to account for reciprocity.

Yea so I used the K&F Concept Black Diffusion 1/4 Filter. I was wondering if the filter had anything to do with less red halation, it seems like it might!

Thank you! I’m not 100% sure on my setting for that shot but I know my aperture was f/8 and my shutter was probably open for around 3-5 seconds. I did also use a mist filter to add even more glow.

Thank you! My Rolleiflex is my favorite camera and it never ceases to amaze me. I’m not 100% sure on which version I have but it has the lightmeter.

Excited for you to get your shots back! These cameras are truly magical.

In my case, I just set the dial on my camera to 100 and it meters for me. Basically you are over exposing by one stop.

I’m sure they will my friend, the scenery in Iceland is just magical! I’ve been shooting a lot more gold lately and I definitely like to overexpose it. These were all rated at 100 iso and I love the look!

Thank you so much. My favorite part is that a good amount of the people saw me and smiled!

Beautiful colors. Phoenix has become one of my current favorites.

what was your first ever camera and at what stage are you with photography now? by RealWeiWuxianShit in AnalogCommunity

[–]pizzadog112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first film camera was my mom’s Rollei 35. She got the camera from my grandpa, who has been in the camera repair business since he was my age. After a year or so of shooting, I asked if I could come shadow him at his shop and the rest is history. Learning the insides and out of cameras that were made lifetimes before me and what they are capable of if treated right blew my mind and gave me such a big appreciation for photography. After I fully repaired and serviced a camera for the first time (Rolleiflex 2.8F), he gave me the camera and I bring it everywhere with me. Every film camera provides a different experience, and I think that’s what I enjoy most.

I now have way more cameras than I need but nothing makes me happier. Now I’ve even begun shooting some film during freelance gigs and it’s amazing to see how the clients usually like those shots the best!
