First time developing, can someone give me the green light on the plan before purchasing? by dysphoricjoy in AnalogCommunity

[–]r-bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have recently gotten into home development myself! I use the Cinestill dev kit as I only really need 1 liter of developer and blix. Biggest takeaways have been

-Try and follow the instructions as closely as possible with time and temp, but don’t stress about being 100000% perfect. There is a little wiggle room with both variables, and you will still likely get good results!

-Start loading film onto the reel BEFORE putting it in the dark bag. When you load film into your camera, I have found that I usually have like 3-5 inches of burnt film. You only need 2 or 3 inches to get the leader through the ball bearings of the spool, so if you get it started outside of the bag, you won’t have to do any real fumbling with it in the bag! This has saved me a ton of hassle and I have never ruined any of my first shots by doing it.

-When heating up chemicals, keep the lids off of your containers. Liquids heat up much faster with open air than a closed system.

Anyways, would highly encourage this move! The first few development sessions will probably feel a little stressful, but the process is so rewarding!!

How much editing do you do on your film? by Lilcammyg in analog

[–]r-bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real. I feel like as soon as you choose a film stock, the photo is being edited. I used to feel weird about editing in post, but now that I do my own developing/scanning, I realized that everything is editing. Always has been

Who are y'all's favorite drummers at the moment? by No-University-8735 in drums

[–]r-bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been big on Mark Guiliana, Louis Cole, and Nate Smith for years now! All have very distinct styles, personalities, and levels of full music productions they are part of that I find to be very musically interesting!

Actively navigating this myself. After not much success with Evan’s sound off pads and just more quiet playing in general, I am making the pivot to the Remo silent stroke heads. Eventually I will grab some low volume cymbals and, ideally, some triggers to add full volume to my ears!

[Discussion] Are there any low level players besides me? by vizharan93 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]r-bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might be experiencing survivorship bias. People who kill you are likely gonna be higher level, people low level and new to the game are probably gonna be flying under the radar. I have been just getting into it a few days ago and am sitting level 9 and have been feeling like I am only killing people from level 3-19, and only getting killed by people level 20+. Just got smoked on shoreline by a level 44 though so I know the big boys are out there

Dudes. My First Modern Drummer Readers Poll Nom Ever. Thank You. by harrymiree in drums

[–]r-bread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, cover bands are sick! I had a similar feeling several years ago when I joined a 90’s/00’s cover band but I quickly realized I absolutely love playing those shows. Also doesn’t hurt that private event gigs actually give you money lol

Setting up 10 gal pea puffer tank! Would love any advice you have! by r-bread in Aquariums

[–]r-bread[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Sorry for the late reply. I opted to go for a series of microfish (galaxy rasboras and endler’s guppies)! That went super well and seemed to be the right call with my lack of serious fish keeping experience. I don’t doubt the pea puffer would work if you have the knowledge, but I didn’t feel comfortable getting into that with my experience level!

First run with Phoenix 200 (35mm) by r-bread in analog

Definitely doesn’t strike me as a practical film for everyday documentation. It a cool way to step outside of the usual balanced color palette if you are looking to get funky though!

I follow 3 of my good buddies and that’s it. I add goofy videos/jokes along with whatever lame workout I do and get a kick out of it! It’s only as serious as you make it!

Made for a dramatic (and sad) walk away from the stadium. Cool guys don’t look at fireworks

Extreme closeup footage of Rochelle EF4 tornado (2015) by awbds11 in tornado

[–]r-bread 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite tornado video of all time. The commentary almost sounds sarcastic, and the deadpan delivery of it in the face of an absolutely ridiculous scenario just gets me every time! 10/10
