oh, i am a dick.

[600#gorilla]

i'm also not fake, or stuck-up.

[evil temptress]

I have fake boobs.

Also, you aren't doing a very good job of entertaining me on FB.

[600#gorilla]

i'm not against fake boobs.

many cultures have traditions of body modification.

what i am against are folks that are disingenuous in their interactions with other people. i've never thought of you that way. in fact, sometimes you're a dick. it's one of your better qualities!

it's the disingenuous folks that are usually threatened by my candor.

i'm sure you know the feeling.

[evil temptress]

Actually, I am all real and you are correct that I can be a dick.

I'm not saying I dislike you for being a dick...I'm just saying that other may feel that way. v2 of your internet persona is much more enjoyable than v1. I wonder if that is possible with wild beast?

Do you ever read Supertopo? I thought all the crazies hung out here, but I was wrong!


Holy shit Cat Stevens is playing at the Rally for Sanity.

constructive criticism - in those cases - is the greatest sign of respect.

His name is Mustafah you ignorant racists.


Back to talking about me .. Okay so all my pics washed out and were blurry. I know that it's going to take a while but I have the internets and I'm impatient and want to post some decent pics. Anyone know how to correct that shiz?? Film speed was 800 aperture was 4 or 4.5 ...

Thanks in advance dudes.

Blurry photos mean your shutter speed was too low! Get a shutter speed that stops the action, and it will change your f-stop. Lucky for you, boldering provides good opportunity to bracket your shots by shooting entire sequences in one f-stop/shutter speed combo.

The real question is, when are you getting your enlarger so you aren't wasting mad cash on developing.

Sad day on b.com when 5 d-bags don't step inn to correct me on pitchurtakinz.

[skav]

Pretty sure you were right...

The real trick will be to stop shooting film.

[Lox]

But then how will you be a retro-hipster luddite?

[RockPharmer]

Mom dukes has an enlarger .. wicked expensive. She spends the money, I utilize and mooch.

That is good advice. The worst part is I was using the auto setting most of the day but I'm positive now I'm going to have to go manual ..

i hate people of all religions equally.

[KIX]

just thought all you dicks might want a place to call your own.

[Sundowner]

or maybe it's the way i go about being a fan....

DING!DING!DING!

Spend less time worrying what other people think and more time taking photos.

I have fake boobs.

Pfff! Proof please.

If you don't already have a tripod and a cable release, get them. Then go buy the lowest ISO black&white film you can find(ebay has a lot of options if you don't have a good photo lab nearby). Go take pictures of things that don't move at all. Like mountains. If you want to catch some action go get some Ilford XP2 Super or some Kodak Tri-X 400. Both can be push processed quite well, as can all of the Delta series from Ilford. Dont bother with colour or slides unless you want to spend a lot on development costs. Also, don't buy an enlarger. You only need canisters and chemistry for developing your film. An enlarger would be nice, but you'll be happier just scanning your negatives and getting to touch up the files on your computer.

Get a digital as well if you can. For action and low light you'll be a lot happier with digital. If you really want to explore what film can do you'll want to save your pennies for a medium format camera. Like the Hassy that I just got this weekend:


Dont get me wrong, 35mm is a great format. Its just that as you start to take photography more seriously you start to see that its best use is speed and portability, not quality. Its cool that you are psyched, though. What film were you using? And seeing as the EOS 630 has a light meter, what exposure mode have you been shooting with? You'll likely find that aperture priority is the best for most situations.

[600#gorilla]

i simply don't have the luxury of time to take more pictures.

personally, i think i do alright for someone that dabbles.

if only i didn't start at the age of 40.....





plus, i'm a way better critic.

[skav]

Most of the time when I'm doing something awesome the SLR just stays in the case. Before I broke my p&s that was getting a lot more use and probably took a higher number of almost worthy photos as a result. Do you guys just dedicate time to picture taking?

And being "that guy" with the camera when climbing? Fuck that guy! Unless they're taking pics that magically make me look swole.

[pmahnn]

There are no cameras or photographers that can work that kind of magic.
