misha - you never answered my question - what do you shoot? dont get me wrong, reala is great film... also, im not sure how large of a city you live in, im an hour nw of philly and we have several high high quality local family owned labs who process b&w by hand, and its the same price or cheaper then having color done, and they do it twice a week. it all boils down to - what do you shoot and what do u want the final outcome to beThread: B&W Film? | Forum: Photography

well what are you shooting??? honestly, it makes NO sense to me to shoot in color if your converting to grayscale anyway in photoshop.. not to mention your limiting your filter selection... i shoot a LOT of ilford hp5+ 400iso film, b&h sells it for $2.74/roll for 36exp - its a great film, lots of versatilty and at that price, it can't be beat, period... what exactly are you shooting, and if your scanning all your work to convert it to grayscale, u may as well shoot b&w, or if your work all ends up in a digital medium such as websites u might look into a digital slr cameraThread: Film Preference? | Forum: Photography

u can't really pick a perfect film, there are films that work well in differant situations and w/ differant goals... i use slide film to cross process it all the time, and i shoot 400iso film in nightclubs pushed to 800 or 800 pushed to 1600... as long as it comes from fuji, kodak or ilford you really can't go wrong... your best bet (no offense to the internet) is to get friendly w/ your local camera shop and tlk w/ them about what your goals are and they will help you pick out your film... if your on budget and shooting portraits, and need negative film, not slide, im a big fan of fuji reala... if your after cool city night time effects, fuji and kodak 64t and 160t slide is great if your looking to just start shooting more film, and your after b&w stuff, ive found that ilford hp5+ 400iso film is some of the most versatile (and really cheap) film you can go with... its something like $3/roll and cn be shot in all kinds of differant situationsThread: Wow!

now that u have a screwmount adapter for your eos, u can pick up the zenitar 16mm fisheye for around 120 bux on ebay (or several other online stores that specialize in russian gear). ive had really good luck so far w/ shooting my eos a2 w/ the screwmount lens/adapter, u can check out some of the stuff on my website, under the gallery "fisheye"... its not really that bad shooting, although working w/ the fisheye is a bit differant then the lenses u chose, its the same princaple. since i was shooting outdoors while it was snowing during the day, and it was obviously way overcast, and i was shooting architecture i needed a rather closed apeture setting to ensure all was in focus... so i set the manual apeture ring on the lens to f/16-f/22, kept the camera in manual mode, and adjusted the shutter speed as needed, my goal was to get as close to f/22 (to keep everything across the frame in focus) while staying at a shutter speed faster then 1/30th of a second to ensure there was no blur.. and this worked like a charm now obviously w/ your 50mm macro your gonna b shooting for shutter speeds faster then 1/60th and w/ your 100mm your looking for anything over 1/125th - but the same princable appliesThread: building | Forum: Photography

its a great camera, even though i dont think sony's reproduce colors all that well... best suggestion i can make for u is read the manual, maybe twice... sounds stupid and basic, but you would b surprised how many people ask questions about their gear w/out cracking that thing openThread: stupid question for the day | Forum: Photography

i think it all really depends on what market your going for, and the style you shoot. i personally sell unmatted/unframed 8x10's $50 you have to decide on what you think your work is worth, what u think the consumer will pay, and if your more comfy making small profit but selling a lot of prints, or making a large profit off selling only a few prints for printing, what kind of printer do u have? in all honesty, your prob gonna git better reults from a pro shop, even a place like [shutterfly](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=/uPJm*KbQv4&offerid=34049.10000001&type=3&subid=0)![uPJm*KbQv4&bids=34049.10000001&type=3&su](http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=/uPJm*KbQv4&bids=34049.10000001&type=3&subid=0) will give you better reuslts... however if your planning on printing a LOT and its worth it, look into an epson 2200 - they arn't cheap at around 700, but the quality is unrealThread: new here, comments on site and content wanted | Forum: Photography

bsteph - not to b rude, but rather then ask a million questions, click the link that i put there in the first part of the thread... it should answer all your qeustions... and lists places to buy them (about 16-20 bux usd usuall). as for the film processing... any quality lab should do it for you... 120roll film is still shot a LOT in the industry.. btw, its not a medium large toy camera, its just a medium format - large format is something totally differant. donald - im not that crazy, but i do enjoy shooting w/ them. i have 3 lomos as well, however ive only shot one so far, my newest is a lomo supersampler. i wont give up my eos a2 for a toy camera just yet ;)Thread: fun w/ holga's | Forum: Photography

who knows whats up w/ the photos, most of the roll is like that, some photos arnt even useable... u gotta remember that when using 11+ year old expired film, wonky things can and will happen. a holga is a plastic toy camera, even the lens is plastic, its got 2 apeture settngs, f/8 and f/11 and one shutter speed, 1/100th give or take they shoot 120roll film, either 4x5 or 6x6 negatives... and isnt meant to b taken too too seriously, kind of like lomo's they are meant to b shot from the hipThread: First "Model" Shoot | Forum: Photography
when shooting digital, i adjust the white balance.. when shooting film, i make sure i dont use the light directly on the subject, i usually bounce the 500w light off a wall or ceiling first, and cause its so powerfull, if your in a medium sized room, bouncing it will give u more then enough light most of the time... an nd filter, or polarizer may help as well, but u will loose 1/2-1 stop if u do use them

it all really depends... ive used 500w halogyn lights that construction workers use, the kind that are 10 bux from home depot, ive used clippy lights w/ differant watt bulbs in them, again from home depot, natural light, natural light w/ a gold/silver disk reflector (usually on the gold side) - and ive been in a friends studio w/ 2 strobes, and various differant settings, some w/ umbrella's, some w/ barn doors, some w/ soft boxes, some w/ clamp on diffusers... it all really depends on the mood, settings and the final outcome that u want from the photosThread: First "Model" Shoot | Forum: Photography
make sure you have an agenda ahead of time... don't go into it blind. have a set number of shots u want to get, and get them, anything else is gravy. since its his first time modeling, try to walk him thru it as much as possible, giving the best direction you can, but dont be pushy. talk to him, have conversations about everyday things during the shoot, so he wont feel like a some pot of flowers... but a person. im not sure what kind of looks your going for, but sometimes the simplier the better... dont get worried about really elaborate backdrops - they can overpower the human body sometimes, rather then compliment it last - bring baby oil - have him cover himself - but not w/ the whole bottle, just a thin layer will add some sheen to his skin tones
