wafflecakee Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 i wish that there was more manual and film photography in here. its a shame that it is almost regressed into history instead of active media. i understand the evolution of media, but i am sure we can all agree that film hones much more artistic value rather than a high-contrast, high-megapixel point-and-shoot. /end rant i shoot as much film as i can afford. i don't think you can discredit the people in here because we use dslr's though, not many of us are shooting auto either...

I'd love to see your work, you should post up, I intend on getting some serious film equipment for my personal projects one day. Until then I'm stuck in digital land. Lately I've been getting paranoid that my work is all going to get lost somehow, even though I have multiple back-ups, the fear doesn't subside.

Mercer Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Film photography doesn't hone any more "artistic value" than digital, it's personal preference. Digital has pretty much caught up to 35mm as far as image quality, and in some areas passed it. Some would argue medium format digital has also caught up or passed medium format film in image quality. That comment is similar to the way artists dismissed photographers in the early days saying a photo doesn't have any artistic value. Film or digital, you're completely relying on technology and you're environment to create the image you're capturing. If you want to wave your cock around like you're better than everyone else try hand grinding your pigments, stretching a canvas that you wove yourself, on a loom you hand built, over wood from a tree you ripped down bare handed, then paint something on the canvas with brushes you made yourself without even looking at the subject. Or you could just work on creating better images no matter the medium and put your tiny cock away. Film is used as a turd polish just like HDR and over saturation/editing. I can't stand "expired film" shots that are mad boring to begin with but use the expired film effect to hipster spice it up. It's no worse than making an HDR of a boring ass shot, both are turd polish or crutches at least 80% of the time I see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBchit Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 EastHastings... There's a pretty hefty amount of people in here that post film shit. Space and Waffle always usually come through with it. Plus that's all I post in here anyway. Mercer I completely back you on that expired film and HDR comment. Have you guys heard of the new Digital Lomo camera? It's fucking horrendous. The camera's gonna mimic light leaks, grain, and all the trendy qualities of Holga's and other shitty Lomo cameras. Waffle I see your nice Canon EOS-1 and raise you a Mamiya RZ67. These are 35mm though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Whatevers clever, that post just came off pretentious. Saying film has more artistic value is incorrect in my opinion. I think the skill of the photographer matters so much more than the equipment that film/digital insignificant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrshmonster Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 word.. if i like a photograph, although i always want to know how it was made, i ultimately dont care if it was on some amazing film no one can get or a point and shoot.. take them pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrshmonster Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 that's nice, can you elaborate on how it was taken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knim_One Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 sure. first i went into the wilderness with camera gear. then the rain broke after 2 days. high pressure had set in. i explored the posible view of the mountain from atop the frozen lava flows. i found a few interesting viewpoints and ate dinner and such. the sky had been clear all day, aside from 1 lenticular that i spotted at about 2pm. when i saw this i knew it was on. as a warm front with moisture was surely approaching my location. I knew if the first cirus clouds cam around sunset i would be set to have the glow of sunset reflect in the clouds while the last hints of alpenglow hit the mountain, but not so late as to not have soft light still hitting the rocks in the foreground. I set my aperture and focus to hold detail throughout the scene then took a light reading, set my shutter speed (i think this is 20-30sec @iso 400 probably) then i set my camer and gorilla tripod upon the rock, fine tuned the composition, set the self timer, and released the shutter. Once back to civilazation i uploaded the picture to my computer, edited the raw file twice. in photoshop i removed all my fucking sensor dust and sharpened the image. then i duplicated my base layer, and adjusted curves for the sky. on the base layer i adjust curves for the foreground. then i created a layer mask, selected the defualt gradient paint bucket, and created a single gradiant to blend the two layers visually. file save as etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
