da1lyoperations Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I don't like shooting 1600-3200. I prefer just to shoot 400 and push it. Plus I can manage with 400 at night alright. I'd probably say take 400 for travel, maybe a roll or 2 of 3200 but for general purpose 400 is great. Take some portra 160NC for your colour stuff, then come back and fill the thread with amazing pictures from your travels! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This flick is so simple yet so amazing at the same time. t4 portra. Close to the same place as last time, this one was in the evening. 35mm focal instead of 50. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6174/6154698418_d95d83719b_z.jpg The colors on this one are amazing. I've always sucked with getting the colors I want out of the photo. Something from today.

Spaceman Spiff Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 The 3 firemen and homeless guy/bus pics are awesome dailyoperations. On the topic of high iso, I just finished a 3200 ilford roll at the world's fair here in Tunbridge last night. I'll probably be lazy and get it developed. I was having trouble with the shutter speed dial so I dunno how they'll turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_Styles Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 IM gonna order some film for some upcoming trip. Film shooters. what do you prefer? Ektar, portra, and superia is what I'm thinking, but would like some suggestions on bw film, as I dont use it much. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but if you're flying with film make sure to carry it with you on the plane. The baggage that is checked on the cargo goes through a much stronger x-ray, and it can mess up unprocessed film. If the film has already been developed it is not a problem though.

wafflecakee Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I still hear two sides to that argument. One of my friends rolls got fogged, other have been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qsysue Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I've read that only certain film speeds are affected but can't remember now what they were--if it was fast film or slower film. I took about 20 rolls of film with me once, flying out of a small airport in Long Beach to Seattle, and asked them to hand-check the film (I carried it on with me)--she had to go through each roll and test it for various chemical residues, took forever. I decided next time I'll mail the film to wherever I'm going ahead of time. When I was done with my trip I just had it shipped home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da1lyoperations Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Slower films should be okay, 400 speed is fine. 1600+ you should ask for a hand inspection just in case. But generally it should be okay. I know a few people who've traveled recently with various speed films and had no trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yeah, if anything higher speeds would be affected. Be sure to put all your canisters into a medium sized box. When a security guard asks you what's in it say something vague like highly sensitive equipment that could have a physical? reaction if x-ray waves pass through it. They'll get a kick out of that.

wafflecakee Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'll let you look at my penis in the full body scanner if you pass my film through manually. *edit: I'll let you look at my penis in the full body scanner, save the photo and leak it onto the internet, if you pass my film through manually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organizedhand Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yeah we ate at C&O Trattoria(AMAZING).And just so happened that Reese Witherspoon and her family were eating there at the same time. My girlfriend is a huge fan of hers , and while we were waiting I noticed her and waiting too. They ended up sitting two tables next to us .The GF was so starstruck she barely ate. It was pretty cool. I dug Abbot Kennedy blvd . We also went to the NECKFACE show over in hollywood and got there 20 after it closed. Saw Neckface though.Pretty lame it closed so early (10pm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wafflecakee Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Wanted to, r3a + 50mm 1.1. Now I need to decide wether or not I want to order one from the states and full price or wait for a decently priced m6 to pop up and get a cheaper lens. I've got nothing worth posting right now to make up for chatting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da1lyoperations Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 M6, do it. Haha. Keep an eye on the RFF classifieds and L-Camera forum. Or maybe get a local dealer to update you. I've got nothing either, waiting on some new chemicals to get a few rolls done and scanned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
