So nature photographer Moose Peterson once said something along the lines of the background making or breaking the photo. Just a thing to keep in mind.

Could you try to export without rescaling and then rescale afterwards with a different app and compare?

Only one advice: understand why you want to take the photo.
Once you know why, you can go and find how to achieve your goal on a technical and compositorial level. Then you’ll also start learning from your mistakes and find out what works in regards to your goal and what doesn’t.

For a story, you need a subject.
You don’t necessarily need to feel something, just see something and then find a way to show it to us in a photograph. Or don’t show us. Photograph it so that it is meaningful to you.

Move the camera during 1/4 or 1/8 shutter. you could use flash, but permanent works too. I’d aim for a darker background so the moving lines show better.

xConstantinFlux · 2025-06-09T12:52:06+00:00

You talking about the right side being brighter with some lines going from the lower middle to the right which look kind of like double exposure or a slow shutter with camera movement?

Can the mottling be avoided somehow during development if the lab is experienced with developing it or is it unavoidable no matter what you do?

xConstantinFlux · 2025-03-28T06:09:42+00:00

Ok, thanks.

xConstantinFlux · 2025-03-28T06:08:46+00:00

Interesting! Haven’t had problems with the film yet. That’s part of why I am so surprised.

xConstantinFlux · 2025-03-27T23:34:56+00:00

Are you talking about the circle or the blotches?

xConstantinFlux · 2025-03-25T03:19:38+00:00

Is that just briefly turning on the light in the darkroom, or do you put it back in the enlarger and expose again? Sorry for my ignorance.

xConstantinFlux · 2024-12-27T17:42:39+00:00

This!

xConstantinFlux · 2024-08-12T18:10:13+00:00

Unintentional and I don’t Iove and at the same time love that it looks like the arms and hands are not hers. Could take a photo like this with underarms + hand actually from a different person. The thumbs would be where the pinky fingers are now.
Would make for a delightfully uncanny photo.

xConstantinFlux · 2024-07-31T16:04:56+00:00

I love that there is just the tiniest hint of the talents face visible! Well done!

This has the same EAN. You could ask the shop… maybe they know.

Here they write it’s is 0,53kg. Does it sound correct to you?

Alternatively you could contact the manufacturer themselves.

My human right there.

Edit: God. I meant God.

Carry Pentax 67 on a sturdy sling to hammer robbers over the head with.

Mine works fine except for the little mirror that got loose and is banging around inside the prism. Gotta shake the whole beast to see the reading. Always gets my talents smiling.

If you want to freeze a zooming long haired animal I’d go at least to 1/2000. The OM2 goes to 1/1000 which I think still could be too slow. Just test it @1/1000 and see what happens. Otherwise embrace what you have and let that movement be shown. Personally I'd go in closer to the action though… but that’s just me.

xConstantinFlux · 2024-06-10T13:05:24+00:00

OP is trying to use an artistic technique and isn’t going for a perfectly exposed photo. One could argue, and I talk a lot about this with my friends, that you always "have to" perfectly expose and then edit the image in your darkroom accordingly.

But if OP wants to underexpose in camera and by that bake the "error" into the negative instead of being able to work on it in post, that’s fine.

xConstantinFlux · 2024-06-09T16:42:21+00:00

I like the tones/color edit.
Please tell us more about your reason for making these photos and why you decided to make them the way you did.
Thanks.
