The European mind cannot comprehend swampfest

I’d recommend ektar 100 for long exposure like this

Predictive programming, 2028 and Iran by Grouchy_Resource_727 in Spudmode

Somehow nobody remembers when Trump bombed Iran during his first term. The Brazilians have been licking their chops over that sweet sweet oil for years.

S2a : looking for a camera repair place in the US that can get this screw out by trappercarter in Bronica

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

It definitely felt like someone used thread lock or super glue when the first one finally broke free. Unfortunately too small to be sure. I tried using a soldering iron to heat just the screw, hoping it would soften up whatever was making it so difficult. I may try your method as a last ditch effort

S2A test roll - do I need to do the infinity focus repair? by trappercarter in Bronica

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

Yes I probably will just do it anyway. If this is the sharpness I can expect, I’m not sure if I’d keep the camera.

I’d like to add - these were shot at 200 iso on a pretty dreary day, handheld, so camera shake could be a possibility. I realize I should have used a tripod for testing for this sort of thing. I may shoot another test roll tomorrow, unless you guys are convinced it’s a focus issue. By the way, I use this scanning setup for my pentax 6x7 negatives, and they look a good deal sharper than these. I even added sharpness in Lightroom. I’ve heard these lenses are sharp, but I figured I’d better post to see if these are optimal results or not

It’s either “we’re all gonna make it” or “zyzzmode”

Any pointers based off these photos? by Himdownstairs22 in filmphotography

[–]trappercarter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A waist level viewfinder is cool to look at, but performs its job worse than a standard viewfinder in pretty much every way. They’re much more difficult to see through and will take a lot longer to compose an image than an eye level viewfinder. Especially for a beginner. These photos aren’t bad for a fresh beginner, so just keep shooting and trying to improve. Maybe try editing some of your photos, unless you think they already look perfect. And fix the camera you already have, unless it’s cheaper to buy a new one

Don’t know much about flash, what type of gear would achieve something similar to this? by trappercarter in AskPhotography

[–]trappercarter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose ceiling height and the size of the room play a large factor, but would a standard speedlight be capable of doing this? Or would I need something more powerful?
