Why is this thread dying so quick? =/

I really enjoy looking at people's photographs.

I'll start pulling old stuff from my photobucket then.

Effect is good? y/n?

God some of these remind me just how fucking gorgeous grainy black and white photos look. Used to do a bit of it myself (although I did push process the shit out of everything to go nuts with grain and contrast) and I've got the darkroom shit in the spare room but never set it up and forgotten everything I know by now.

I'd love to have a digital setup but I do enjoy pratting around in a darkroom given the chance - just no space and the fact half the world hates the smell means the stuff I have just sits mouldering away.

Keep dropping hints for a digital body to go with the lenses and shit I already have (sorry guys I'm an Canon girl) but no one's taken the freaking hint so far!

DOGGEH! :D


Just got this in the mail today; excited.

Grainy B&W you say?

I took this over the previous summer with my Canon SD750 Point and shoot.

My interweb ego is wounded by everyone having vastly superior hardware. I shudder in a dark corner, clutching my crappy old digital camera and my Photoshop CDs. I just... I just don't know if I can break out of this.

Spend more money = gain bigger, better epeen.

My epenis is so tiny.

The most primitive: pinhole camera!

I am mostly interested in macrophotogragraphy. I currently use a Canon Rebel with a 18-55mm lens or borrow my girlfriend's 75-300mm. I really want to purchase a portrait macro lens though.

I like that first picture there with the interesting light patterns.

If you're interested in the Macro stuff, you might want to look into a Sigma 105mm 2.8 Macro lens. Additionally, you can get into macro by buying bellows extensions to fit onto your existing lenses to change them into 1:2 lifesize macro lenses as well. Canon and Kenko are good places to start for bellows extensions. Last but not least, you can also buy macro filters that you can screw onto your lens - however, they do distort your image a bit if you stack on too many of them onto your lens.


@ the guy who was using the coupler on his lens - be careful of that. You're losing about 2-3 stops of exposure due to using that lens coupling thing, and it also distorts and softens your focus quite a bit. It's a fun plaything, but it's not something you'd use for serious shots.

I would say at least 2-3, if not more. Yeah, I would never use it for anything serious, but it was $6 shipped and allows to me to play around a bit. The depth of field with it is like 1mm anyways, so it's hard to focus without a tripod and bellows.

minsk, nice volvo :D
