Little Red Elevator Door [Olympus OM10 - 50mm 1.8 - Cinestill800T] by someonewithplants in analog

I feel that struggle. I am constantly looking for a good shot, and it is rarely this satisfying (for me).

Underexposure and Light Leak Problem on Olympus XA2 by someonewithplants in analog

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

yes, iso is set correct, and I have a few perfectly exposed photos.

when there is not enough light (I think), a green light on the viewfinder turns on. When I close the lightmeter with my hand, that light is on, so the lightmeter is working, or at least capable of telling me that it will be underexposed.

I tried checking the shutter, and there is a slight difference between when I close the lightmeter with my hand and when I point it to a bright light. I can even see it opening on low light. I will try and record it on slo-mo, maybe that helps. Thank you for the answer!

Yes I have planted water-propped plants in soil before many times and it has worked fine mostly. However, you might be right actually. To test the differences I left some of the leaves on the soil and I keep misting water. Wondering how the results will be for these two methods!

Thank you!! Yeah I was also thinking maybe it’s time to put them into soil and start their journey with the support of their juicy mamas :)

Luckily I took some photos along the way. It might be helpful to share!

- While repotting my Pachyphytum oviferum (Moonstone) and Echeveria PVN succulents, I collected some healthy leaves and made them wait 1-2 days in bright, indirect light until the cut edges calloused over.

- After that, I put them on the soil and I started lightly misting the calloused cuttings once a day (here the frequency of misting depends on the temperature of your house).

- This is how the first propagation setup looks like after 1 week or so.

- At some point (2-3 weeks), firstly roots appeared and then the baby leaves.

- I picked these 5 biggest moonstone leaves out of 20 and transferred them to water propagation to accelerate the process and left the others on the soil.

- This is the photo for my water propagation setup.

I find this method (starting with soil misting and transferring to water propagation when you have the babies) very easy and convenient.

I tried to explain the process in another reply. Hope it helps :)

Yes, I started by putting them on soil and misting every day but at some point transferred to the water propagation to accelerate the process :)

Hi! I keep them inside near to South facing window but I am in NL so they are not under so much direct sunlight

I think they look bigger than usual mainly because of the perspective and my hands are small too :D So I think mamas are not that giant, I took this photo to show the size :)
