    Bronica 645 etrsi changing film back

    in Medium Format

    Posted

    It does seem that yes they are designed this way, but I am a little concerned you say it does not waste any film, according to the exposure numbers on the top of the film back this is correct, also after taking the film back off then placing it back onto the camera body and winding on then doing the same time and time again then opening the film back you can see the film does not appear to have come to its end. But the film back film reel does always move around unlike when the camera is on multi exposure the film back reel does not move at all. I just thought this would be the same for taking the film back off then on again if the film back has already been wound on

    Bronica 645 etrsi changing film back

    in Medium Format

    Posted

    I have bought a bronica etrsi and though experimenting with it I noticed that

    when I have wound the film on ready for the next exposure, then take the film

    back off then place it back onto the camera again, you can still wind on again

    twice with the film back winder moving around as if the film is advancing

    another frame, the exposure number does not though advance but does advance

    when winding on after an exposure has just been taken with out taking the back

    off. My question is has anyone else noticed this before, is the film advancing

    or not??? I been back to the camera shop (where I used to work) and played

    around with an ETRS and another ETRSI each with different film back on from

    each other.

    Frank, sorry to be so defensive, but when I asked the questions "

     

    I am writing an essay for my photography course on reading the photograph, and if there is such a thing as reading the photograph what are your thoughts on this. Is there a certain key to reading a photograph or do you think that a photographs audience are free to interpret a photograph as they wish? If a photograph is read one way by a person and then a different way by another, is there really a language of photography? Just wondering what your thoughts were? Thank you"

     

    I am actually asking questions rather than making a statement

    Try to use the idea of not having their faces showing to an advantage. Explore other photographers who have used similair methods.

     

    Look at work by paul Seawright, the project hidden for example, telling the story of what isnt there if you like. He didnt photograph the aftermath of the Afgahn war directly but then again he did.

    Doisneau Photo 'The Kiss' Sells for $202K

    The kiss was about a historic moment in time, there is more to it than a pretty kiss of a couple kissing, so stop copying, start thinking about work a bit more and for heavens sakes, if you arnt going to come up with any original work apart from this mundane image of a couple kissing, then stop calling your selfs artists. Make work not photo copies.

    Photographing industrial change is it documentary

    in The History & Philosophy of Photography

    Is photographing industrial change, buildings being dimoloshed, or

    even photographing a building its interiors, the land outside it

    before its going to be dimoloshed, is this a documentary. I have been

    doing this, photographing one schools interiors, as a kind of story

    as to what went on in this place, photographing what wasnt there, the

    building in its own right but at the same time imagining the goings

    on to this place a few months before it was scheduled to be knocked

    down. Another project I have began is to photograph the knocking

    down, demolition and clearing to a local ASDA store in my local area.

    I do understand that documentary photography is a complex issue but

    would some people class this as documentary? Please help me.
