I like the film too, but you can get a similar feel by shooting with a high ISO and shooting underexposed and then lightening them. grain is also very easy to add.

but if you can do it with film - who wants to waste time photoshoping... although you dont have to pay to get them exposed

im sure you'll find a good dslr soon enough...especially with all the new dslrs rolling out. i was lucky enough to find a d200 at best buy for 600.

Originally posted by spenser id like to get a d90, but that probably wont happen till fall when i get my PFD.

That's what my dad has, I love that thing.  I'm shooting with a canon 30D and I have a bunch of older cameras that I use now and then, like the brownie, a dirty old film slr, and a gigantic polaroid camera that is like holding a shoebox full of pennies.

shtookinnnnnng siiick!!! this shot is so nice. Like I've said, its too nice where you are to not have a good camera. I would kill to shoot there.
I have the D90, if you have any Q's about it, feel free to ask.

that almost looks fake lol, that's an awesome pic

when i actually do "real" shots i use film, yeah.  ive got a pentax ME super with a wide angle lens and a 70-210 zoom, and a 2x teleconverter.  it was my parents.  they were around from around 1980-84 or something, so its got a fair amount of years on it, but its still in great condition and usually works great.  i read that it was pretty good for its time cause it has an auto setting... which really only does shutter speed, but whatever.. haha.

i just love the feel of film.  even if you simply take a picture of something random, it still looks radical.

but really, a lot of the feel comes from the depth of field you can get, with the specific focusing and all... and you can do that with a DSLR too.  but its still not quite the same.

im not leaving juneau, just moving to a different house, or whatever living establishment.

iso is just film speed, how sensetive it is.. like a 200 iso is going to need a longer exposure to get the same light as 400.  and higher iso usually ends up with more grain.  most normal film that youll find in a regular store is 400, and theres usually 200 there too, from what ive seen.  ive always used 400 in my camera, and its  a better "normal" all-around film speed for pretty much anything.. low light, sunlight, action, etc.  normally a film camera has ISO settings that you adjust to match the ISO of the film youre using at the time.  so if i put 400 in, i put the thing on my camera to 400.. and if i bought 200, i would change it to 200.  im pretty sure its so the cameras light meter/etc knows whats going on, so it knows how to read the light and tell you if youre over/under exposed.. something like that.

with digital, i guess its simulated obviously, but i played with it.  my camera has manual ISO settings from 80 to 1600 i think, and then auto and high auto.  at 80, theres very little grain, but you need a longer exposure.  at 1600, its a much shorter exposure, but theres a lot more grain.  i left it at high auto.. theres a little more grain, but in a good way.. gives it a slightly better feel.

just cause im bored, i might do some comparison shots with different ISOs

theres probably a reason for that, but i hadnt even thought of it.

I actually have a funny story that proves this point...

So about a month and a half ago, my dad, brother, and I went to Yosemite for a day. The entire time I was there, I shot 3 rolls of film. My last roll was a color roll, so it didn't matter all too much towards my actual photo assignment, so I didn't really care how bad the shots came out. Me and my dad got in a conversation in the car about how you can pretty much take a picture ANYWHERE in Yosemite and it'll turn out nice because there's pretty much no bad place to take a picture, so I put my camera out the window and took a picture to try and prove that fact wrong.

It ended up being on of my favorite pictures on that roll.

Originally posted by ShredBettyZoe I just weighed my camera bag out of curiosity... its over 11lbs, it barely has anything in it other than my camera and 2 lens's. Another out of curiosity, my D90 & 80-200mm lens is 5lbs. who needs working out with a camera that heavy pffff!

Is somebody trying to brag here??

No, haha. I was just curious... haha... you're a man, obviously you're going to think that way.

Originally posted by spenser that just means its a good lens.  its like in OG jurassic park when theyre in the SUV on the auto track and the kid is playing with the night vision goggles.  the older dude goes "dont play with those.  are they heavy?  then theyre expensive." weight = quality, right? same goes for snowboards, as of right now.  heavy is the new light.

my best friend's favorite movie is Jurassic Park. such a great movie.

Does this also apply to people? The heavier the better?

heavy is the new black. ya dig

Bored, thought I'd throw up a picture of my equipment. (minus filters)
