a family friend who works a garbage truck saved this for me.


in the camera bag there was a 50mm, a 49mm, and 80-205mm lens. Also got a flash and a few filters. This weekend I am taking picture of my friend Rachel. I was thinking of getting black and white slides and paying extra to have them put onto a digital for me. i wish my school had a dark room

Send the negs up to me and I'll develop and print them for you. We have a very nice dark room.

Lens looks a little hazy/scratched. I would just fvck around with the first roll and make sure the camera is in working condition.

I haven't, but the way to do it is to have the negatives scanned. My workflow with film goes like this:

-Develop negs
-Put in neg sleeve
-Make contact sheet with neg sleeve
-Select from there what to enlarge

We have a neg/slide scanner. The thing is a pain in the ass.

Give it to me! :banana:

I don't have access to one at school and the local lab wants some ridiculous amount of money to scan decent res (and they take 3 days)...If I had a job I'd buy one off of Amazon.

You forget the step that involves stinking of chemicals all day long.

Most one hour processing places can put the images on disc dirt cheap when you have the film developed.

That's what I did before I had a digital camera.







Or best yet don't bother shooting photos at all.

Plenty of other peoples pics can be found in the dumpster.

I don't know what kind of resolutions you were getting out of the film places, but I have 3-4 CDs from different cheap film places when they were running specials like "free duplicates or a free digital CD" and the resolutions as well as the scan quality were pretty mediocre.

Dunno if that's the same everywhere or just my experience. Only the more expensive disc options gave me good resolutions and good quality scans.

i feel like just developing the negatives and then scanning them onto the computer is missing the point of film photography. although when you don't have access to a dark room i guess it makes sense, unless you have a digital camera, but that's just me.

this reminds me, i need to bring my camera up to school and start taking pictures again. there are so many good photo opportunities up here.

sounds like you forgot to press the film release button (or whatever it's called) before you rewound it.

look on the bottom of the camera for a little silver pin that you press in.

My dad used to take lots of pictures. He was pretty into it for years. He would still be shooting if it wasnt for his poor eyesight. He has so much photo stuff I dont even know about. He just pulled out a light meter for me to use.

recommendation: take an introductory fine art photography course. I actually took 2 when I was at RIT. We were only allowed to use film, so it was cool. I learned how to really play with depth of field / aperture settings and shutter speed. We also had access to a lot of other cool stuff. I got to shoot medium format and mess around with polaroid transfers.

Also taught me a lot about the history of photo (despite being a non-photo major) and I was fortunate enough to land myself in a course taught by grad students and not a professor, so they were very accommodating for varying skill levels - there were a few of us who had never properly learned to use a manual/SLR camera.

Umm...if your father just pulled out a light meter for you to use, you need to do two things:

A) Pick his brain

B) Pick through his equipment

Dude,

You have a serious source for photographic knowledge. Start picking his brain, but slowly so you can learn what he is telling you. Fully learn to use a light meter. This will help you in ways you cannot see now. Ask your dad if you can go on a photo safari together. Pick his brain about everything. How and why he does what he does.
