richhrly Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 preferably colour so any good deals on colour films? Google! Most film costs what it costs these days, if you want something good it'll cost the same most places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I've been quite tempted by a film so I've got full frame. But is it cost effective over full frame DSLR or SLT? Mainly to test the water and see if it's what I actually want. No idea were to start on film cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanp Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 they mostly take higher quality images but depends on the make and the maker of the film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 DLSR have made it more cost effective. digital means no need for all the fixing agents and that light sensative paper a dark room with red lamp, a upsizer machine etc etc etc and a shed load of chemicals. your DSLR has all that built inside its sensor. films, these come in all differnet flavours and ISO , monochrome or color. Kodak were and still are the most known with fujifilm coming very close to. mention camera film most will say that golden word " KODAK " films all have differnet properties to , i may chose a standard color, but someone like harry may go for a nice monochrome film or richard a color film but they are differnet in the way color is shown. sepia etc etc. some films are color kings, so if the guys mention a certain film its because they had the best images coming from it. and it reproduced the scene how they expected. Digital also has its uses, take a picture and have a look at it stored on the camera. you cannot see the image on the film you have to wait for it to be developed and then see what you have got. these days people want instant, like mail-delivery-food-drink and images not waiting 3 days for it to be developed for you or your need to have the chemicals and time to develop the film yourself. dslr owners always have a time where they wish they had that 35mm full frame and some very nice top end film to use its that air of expectation on what you get back in that little pocket filled with photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 It'll probably work out more cost effective to just go straight to full frame DSLR then. I want to do some more landscapes and feel the need for the bigger sensor. I don't want to go too low on focal really, and end up with round images. I've noticed it creeping in on some.

jordanp Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 me and me dads cameras are fujifilm bridges, were keeping them really good cameras last time i used a 35mm camera films used to be alot cheaper and you could buy in bulk kinda cheaply aswell always used to grab kodak portra 400, it used to be like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) One for Harry and Rich to puzzle over. well , i have had an idea , but do not know the best way to gain what i require as a photo. i want to take a picture of a boring plain backdrop, say a large bank - building - office block or a colorful flowery country park. On its own the image is going to be rather bland ( a rushed point and click holiday photo) now heres where you guys come in and my idea. i am thinking this, i photoprint off the image to the size of the canvas, frame it but as the twist i reverse a graffiti stencil and spray it onto the rear of the protector glass on the frame. and place this back into the frame. (see where im going on this ? ) i want that photograph to act as the backdrop aka wall for the graffiti art. problem is how do i blend the photo with the stencil work, if it was PC you would add a gausian blur , but alas i am unable to as graffiti is none digital. so should i gausian blur the photo before the stencil is layed onto glass, and overspray the image to blend with the photograph behind ? have you guys tried this before, or would you go about it a different way.

Tamiyacowboy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Snapped this with the ST80 short tube tele lens ( 400mm prime @f5 ) iso 1600 - 1/1000s grabbed about fourty shots handheld before i could no longer stand the cold. took them squatting down and resting barrel on the knees. its a pain as its a telescope focus system so you have to rough guess the sweet spot. this is number 15 out of the batch, cropped 100% 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richhrly Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Been on holibobs, popped off to LA for a week with only an iPhone camera, and took some snaps of stuff that interested me and popped it on a Tumblr (linky). Your question from a while ago Tam, I'm a bit confused about what you're trying to do. Mixing real life and printed media is gonna be a nightmare to do realistically, unless I'm not quite getting the question! Hope you feel better soon and get shooting again.

Tamiyacowboy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I love that photo Rich. reminds me of the corner garage on that CARS disney movie ( but real life version ), the old style gas/shop signs, and in the back ground the new modern signs. Yes idea was a summery backdrop, trees, blossom etc etc, then on the glass front of the framing a silk screen or stencil. and your right its a nightmare lol. painting on glass is not as easy as they show it to be. i ended up with a blotch mess . Idea was canned and shelved. been resting up, put the telescope away and loaded the camera with the 90-300mm. have a couple jenny wrens visiting the garden. the usual bluetits, goldfinch, and robins. i also have a gaggle of Buzzards to ( watched them and a crow yesterday having mid air dogfights ), and the otter . also saving pennys because i want a sigma 10-20mm lens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
