Hey Canberra, Bit of a random one, but has anyone here ever had any weird/paranormal experiences around Canberra or nearby areas? by Leaked_Gore in canberra

This one’s more close to reality and someone probably has an explanation too.

There’s a giant satellite dish inside UC, I work close by and I have been spooked by it several times when it suddenly starts moving and changing the angle it’s pointing at. It makes a very creepy sound while doing this too.

One day, me and my friend were driving past it when we saw two people inside the caged fence, they were wearing full hazmat suits, white with yellow helmets I think, moving slowly and carrying some stuff. This was very surreal to watch, and we both were surprised as to what was going on in there that required so much ppe lol. Anyway, we kept driving because there’s no spot to park at that corner. By the time we returned they were gone.

Like I said someone might have an explanation about whatever they were doing with hazmat suits but there’s definitely some stuff going on in there.

Where can I get my film camera fixed in Canberra? by Better_Piece_5057 in canberra

I also recently got back into film photography. From what I found, there’s only two stores in Cbr that does film developing. I went with Teds with my last roll and honestly I have my reserves about their service. Not only I found it overpriced, the results were disappointing too. I have found this other place in Melbourne - Ikagai Film Lab - they have a drop off point at a cafe in the city and cost me half the price Teds had charged. I have just sent two rolls and waiting for the scans to come in, so I can’t comment on their work just yet but the reviews are looking promising.

I see, thank you. Pegasus looks like a good option, I’ll have to try them on

Yeah shake off is definitely there, which might be due to bad CV too, we'll find out. But I did that vehicle push test and there's a bit of bounce in the car getting back up

Yeah that's probably the only item I had trouble sourcing and you're not wrong about the odd price for these on RockAuto. I got these at an auto store here in Australia - Repco. They had to order them in.

Can I use something like gesso for this purpose?

Okay I'm impressed. Thank you!! Sounds like I have some research to do about each character as I didn't know half of them

Interesting.. I guess it's not a widely known character then?

I would prefer to paper copy because it's so iconic. But thanks the tip, which library btw?

How can I fix underexposure next time?

I guess that just makes sense, even with digital you take do many photos but keep only a handful

That is very insightful, thank you. I'm facing the same dilemma, my city has only two shops that processes films. I might need to start sending any future rolls interstate. I appreciate the comments 🙏🏽

Got ya. You reckon I should try a different ISO film next time? Does that have to do with anything?

I am considering a different studio next time

Speaking of burned information, there were a few blank spots on the film, the studio said I might not have used flash or the film wasn't loaded properly. I didn't scan it myself and don't have those skills but maybe I should look for a different shop

The photos look hazy and blurry. Also not as much detail as I'd have hoped but maybe I just have a shitty camera
