  1. I was recently hit by a car' date=' fucked me up real good. If you've ever had broken ribs, you know what I'm talking about..[/quote']

    ..I hear ya.

    Bruised mine this year. Shit takes a while..

     

    ..I'd recommend seeing an osteopath; I had the feeling my whole trunk was skewed after the crash,

    and osteopathy really helped more than anything else with that.

  2. leica monochrom

     

    ..haha, they didn't!

     

    Friend of mine told me about that thing some months ago,

    I definately thought he was kidding me.

    Ha!

    Would love to shoot that thing, but 8k is a tad much!

    Do you have one now, or what do you shoot your M glass with?

  3. I will be needing something in that range as well, but will likely go Nikon, D7000.

    Just used a friends 5D MKII for an afternoon, together with this super funky lens,

    I liked it, the camera itself - it's nicer than then Nikon, really, design wise, it's rounder, it's lighter..

    ..but, having used Nikon the last year I really got used to them / got fond of them.

    One main aspect is, really, I can 'hang' the camera in the buckled fingers of my hand,

    and it doesn't slip off - Canons grip is smaller / thinner, so it slips immediately.

    Oh I so wish they'd build cameras in different sizes...

  4. I meant 'ambitious to learn how to use a manual camera properly', since you can't check on a display whether everything was right,

    but have to be able to rely on your skills / have to exactly know what you're doing or else you'll have missed / fucked up the shot.

    If you've already been shooting film for a while once you'll know whether you'll be willing to deal with it I guess.

     

    I always took the CD they gave me and backed up the data to a harddrive, never asked them to put it on a stick but I guess it shouldn't be a problem?

     

    Some nice shot on your stream, the 'food mart' shot for example I like!

  5. (...) now people know when we talk about WHAT WE DO IS SECRET, there is no secret to what we are doing.

    For a moment I thought I'm in the 'nonsense thread'.

     

    But seriously - you guys keep doing what you're doing, you seem to have fun.

    Would personally never ever get such a tattoo though.

  6. Haha, da1ly, that's what I thought of recommending first (a "pro" DSLR),

    but then I thought 'wait a second, maybe ask first what the budget is"..

    ..also these things are really a pita for carrying around all day!

     

     

    Acer, I don't know how ambitious you are (regarding 'brushing your skills up'),

    but if I were you I'd definately take the Nikon, practice a bit, then take it on the road and use it.

    It's a fucking great camera, easy and intuitive to use, and it's tough.

    It's not that hard to get exposure right and focus on a subject that stands there!

    I don't know where you are, but modern labs do the scanning for you for just a few bucks with the developing,

    so you have a) developed negatives b) scans on a cd and c) prints of 36 shots for like a tenner (over here).

    The zooms you mentioned are not that awesome, but maybe will suffice totally for what you're doing.

    What's your flickr ?

  7. Ps: Choose some 'tough' ones, as they're going to be dragged on the street often

    (when you just ride around one block and are too lazy to step in, and when you're just pushing the bike somewhere;

    the weight usually turns the pedal around, with the strap down to the ground).

    The only strap / cage kind of thing I ever used were these.

    They were very good! Check out this link, there's a variety of others of that kind.

    Depending on your bike these look rather cool, and you can adjust them to perfectly fit your shoes / sneakers.

  9. K-5 looks nice... but fuck, man, it's expensive!

     

    D200 or 40D are nice cameras, but the guy sounded like he really throws the stuff in the mud,

    I don't think they will last a long time in his hands.

     

    That's why I suggested analogue equipment an MF lenses -

    and I mean how hard can it be to take a picture of a freight wagon?

     

     

    Anyways, it all pretty much depends on the budget, so there..

  10. It's a post modern representation of the industrialization of food, and how we as Americans must sleep in the bed we have made through agro-business and factory farming, man!

     

    wat!

    unbelievable!

    ..we'll have none of it here in Berlin!!

     

     

     

    : P

  11. Actually, I think I personally would get a proper, used, small non-digital SLR (or: rangefinder - why not?) and two nice lenses for it -

    that would be like 100-150 bucks.

    Imagine how much rolls of film you could shoot, including developement and prints / scans, for the price of a decent DSLR...

    If you get a fully manual one (without electronics in it) that will be as tough as it gets for outside stuff (additional lightmeter would be required, but hey).

  12. I don't get this thread to be honest.

     

    But I just had an idea -

    since it's sad this place is, like, 'dead' - as apparently hardly anybody is able to fucking log in

    (and it's sad that, apparently, there is nothing done about it, like, for MONTHS now) -

    maybe the nice people from "Skybar" will grant oontzers sort of an exile-thread,

    where they can share tips & tricks about how to fucking log-in, so this whole place isn't going down the drain?

    Like a friend of mine who likes swimming a lot once had a similar problem,

    then he had a dream where he was using web-proxies, and it solved that problem.
