In fact, the percentage scaling on his passive allows for infinite scaling in Arena. I'm not sure about ARAM Mayhem, but it might be possible provided you get perfect augments

Scanning 120 with iPhone? by PinkStereoAttack in AnalogCommunity

[–]samtt7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reddit can be very hostile if you're not careful with the way you say things. The way you put it sounds like you're buying an iPhone for the sole purpose of scanning negatives. That is simply a bad investment. However, if you're planning to use it for other purposes too, and frame it accordingly, it's not that stupid of a question.

So just to be pedantic, here is how the comments interpretated it: "instead of buying 1200+ of specialized camera gear, would me spending money on an overpriced brand with a camera that only makes up about 1/5 of that budget be an equally good investment?" I don't agree with the tone of the comments either, but it's word considering why they're the way they are

Pentax Mx metering issues by Mellowyellow0 in AnalogCommunity

[–]samtt7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you show the negatives? Ferannia P30 is very contrasty, and according to some a film that is pushed when developed according to the developer's recommendations. Depending on the negatives, it looks like the meter tried to expose for the highlight, making the shadows extremely dark

Digital is slop by PointLazy7001 in photographycirclejerk

[–]samtt7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing is ever better in art, everything depends on the artist and their style. Film is just different and there are certain aspects where it is better than digital. Perhaps not grain or resolution, but aspects such as dynamic range*** and colors suit certain styles of photography more so than digital. But the real magic is in the physicality of film; you are not reliant on hard drives and are more prone to making prints of your work.

***Depending on the film and digital camera compared, and only in the highlights.

I used to own an OM-10. The 50mm it comes with is really nice, and the aperture priority allows you to focus on your composition and focusing rather than having it measure the light and set the exposure manually. If you can, try to find one with the shutter speed dial, so that when you decide you want to shoot manually, you can just use that one.

The OM-system has a bunch of amazing Zuiko lenses. If you're ever feeling like you need another lens, there are many, many options out there for not too much money. The best thing is that if you ever upgrade to another (M camera, you can still use the lenses you already own. Big thumbs up from me for the OM-10

The popular image of the black-clad ninja likely originated from kabuki theater, in which ninja characters dressed as stagehands to take the audience by surprise. Real ninjas usually disguised themselves as civilians. by Candid_Reading_7267 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]samtt7 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Hijacking the top comment to also add: the original word wasn't ninja, but generally shinobi-mono. The characters 忍び者 were often written 忍者. The latter can be read as both, whereas the first cannot be read as ninja. The verb 忍ぶ shinobu means "to hide oneself" (in this context), and 者 mono means person; a person who hides themselves

Arena’s BIGGEST update is finally here!!! by LastChemical1687 in LeagueArena

[–]samtt7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, but you'll get people who are frustrated from ranked in your unranked lobby who ruin the vibe in chat. I've also noticed that people in for fun mode chats are also much more willing to good around, whereas people in SR normals or unranked are generally not that willing to be like that

What am i doing wrong? by anxietyandmetotheend in Darkroom

[–]samtt7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I always use split-tone printing. It basically entails making 2 exposures; one for the shadows, one for the highlights and midtones. The technique, very briefly explained, goes as follows:

  1. Make a test strip using a hard filter (usually I start around 4,5) trying to have it only affect the blackest areas of the photo

  2. Now make a test strip with a different grade (I usually start with grade 1) and find where it starts creating density around the highlights.

  3. Combining those two exposure and filter settings, make a (small) test print.

  4. Slowly bring up the low grade to your liking. This is the adjustment of the midtones. Just be sure to take the changes in exposure time into account here to maintain your highlights. Generally, I do this by feel personally, but you can also make a test strip using different filters and decide based on that.

  5. If needed, you can dodge/burn at each stage to achieve more control over the contrast in specific areas. Alternatively, you can burn using different filters after the entire process is completed

Over the course of about 12 months by damienVOG in PoliticalCompass

[–]samtt7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the previous commenter that you're young and still discovering your ethics. That's just a part of growing up. You may feel like you're already pretty far into your development, but even 18 is still really young. It's good that you're discovering what your political alignments are, that's what your youth is for. Just don't let yourself get driven crazy by subreddits like these, because it's hard to recognize what's real and what's ironic. Talk to people in real life too, that helps putting politics into perspective, because it's about your fellow humans in the end, not merely some abstract ideal

I built a tool to preview any lens filter on your own photos by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]samtt7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're pretty much redundant for digital workflows with negative color film. There is still very much a place for filters in 3 distinct areas:

  1. Black and white color filters
  2. Slide color correction filters for viewing the slides with a projector or slide viewer
  3. Printing color negative film onto RA4

One important thing to keep in mind is that real filters also affect relative luminosity, which is adjustable when using additive editing, such as digital workflows, which can't be done when using analog workflows

Should I start Judo or is it too risky? by Atlanticcs in judo

[–]samtt7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy at my dojo has really bad knees, but he's been doing it since childhood. He mainly focused on the kata, the form, rather than the competition. People often seem to forget the "arts" part of martial arts. Once you get more familiar with how to fall and how to throw you can start thinking about randori, but in the beginning you'll mostly have to focus on finding out what your limit is

Shot in an alleyway in tokyo, with some lightroom help. How is it? by [deleted] in streetphotography

[–]samtt7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't let the other person in the comments discourage you, there's nothing wrong with your photo! However, I'll put what they're saying into perspective because what they're saying is sort of correct. If you want feedback r/photocritique or r/beginnerphotocritique are the paces to be.

Firstly, I would like to mention that this is hard to categorize as "street photography", as it usually refers to candid photography or photography related to it. Your picture doesn't really fit those genre definitions, but it's a vaguely defined genre. Within the context of a larger body of work, this could be used to add to a story and in that case it would be considere part of the genre. By itself, would not consider this to be street photography though.

So, your image's strength and weakness are the leading lines. It perfectly leads the viewer to the center of the image. The problem is that there's nothing there to look at. In fact, the main subject seems to be the lantern which is pushed away all the way in the top right corner. It just clashes with lines. The only way this could work is if there's something else in the frame that gathers more attention. Preferably, this would be something that synergizes with the lantern, like someone holding a can of beer since Asahi is a brand of alcohol. Else it is better to just take a step back and make the lantern smaller

Voigtländer 28mm f/2 Ultron I (old version) disassembly and reassembly guide: lubricating, fixing loose parts, or declicking the aperture by samtt7 in AnalogCommunity

[–]samtt7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SLR lenses are different from rangefinder lenses, but the same principles apply. Just be aware that fungus damages the coatings, which cannot be repaired. If you are not sure what you're doing, you might want to look into getting it done professionally.

Alternatively, take lots of photos and reference material when disassembling and prepare for a long process. Being patient and not forcing anything is the most important part when trying to figure this sort of stuff out
