I have a diacord g. I had the lens shutter serviced by the guy who built them in the factory when he was young, cant remember his name. I havent used it much. Really havent, time and all. However i ran two rolls of tri x through it today. Developed in that cinestill stuff. Both rolls developed fine except, the first one was perfectly clear, only the factory numbers, etc was visible. Second roll developed clear, only factory information was visible. Except the LAST shot developed. oddly, i had a jam in the spool that kept the last frame from going into it. So the last frame was stuck between the tank and the reel. What is the normal method to ensure the shutter is working the same each time? I had the camera set to 3.5 and shutter to 1/5th second for each shot

PPPPPfffffffffffffft

according to the website spiel, youve been an internet forum since 1993. and at this moment in time, and have 962,992 members, You should be happy if some member your little club house kicked out felt bored enough to come back to it. Im a new member and the hostility makes me feel like a white dude at a black panther rally. Ive seen photos of cats get more likes/follwers in 10 hours then youve managed to get in 27 years.

I joined Oct 18. It made me upload 5 photos. When that was done, the system let me post and reply to posts and comments on the 18th. However, EVERYTHING had the little "not visible to other members" spiel to it. The MOMENT i made the post reply in THIS THREAD,, ALL of those prior comments DISSAPPEARED. For example my post question on the Lime Light Meter, was a repost of one i made on the 19th.

Remember, the engineering team who came up with this idea may also have been the engineering design team that figured out Russian Roulette

the posts/post replies i made until this one, this was the first one that didnt have "cant be seen by standard members", all DISSAPPEARED,,, and I also never had any record of making any posts/comments in the messages total column next to my icon at the top of the main forum page, OR in the content page in my user stats. Everything just went the way of the hanging chad

As someone who understands business, the customer was supposed to pay the primary, who was then supposed to pay the OP to play second string. the only one with any obligation to pay the OP is the Primary. To think otherwise is to contradict all established laws and legal rulings. Also, the amount of people putting in bizarre things like empathy, supposed relationships between the customer and the primary shooter, all stupid and bizarre and not signs of someone who understands business

I had to wait a very long time to get approval to post a message, i actualy was allowed to post in "cannot be seen by regular members until profile is approved" but sadly when i was approved.... everything dissapeared.

im still working on finding that magazine in the states, no luck yet. not many can explain the way that some of the early shutters actually managed to stay closed when cocking.

just get a light meter folks and worry about the scene

there is no difference anymore between photo edited photography, and what ILM has done for movie magic. Look at the craptacular movie Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow. 90% of what you see in the movie was digital CGI models with live action shot on blue screen. Whats the difference between that and what people are doing with photoshop to manipulate their photos?

why the endless roundabout battle of virture signalling here everyone? The op was contracted to be a second string shooter at a wedding. OP did the work, got the photos, never got paid. THe people who paid the primary photographer HAVE NO LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PAY the OP. The ONLY person with an obligation to pay, and a legal requirement to pay the OP is the primary photographer. IF the people want to pay for the photos the OP took THATS GOOD.... but who cares at this point? For so many people "in business", there has been so much horse manure drivel about empathy, the relationship between the primary photographer and the people who paid them to do the wedding shoot, yada yada yada..

Well its easy really,, i have an interest in the early leaf shutters, the early disk shutters. I have seen in some diagrams for the old box cameras the shutter is just a spring pushing on a tiny flap of metal. I just dont know the calculations needed to figure out: the spring strength to get an exact shutter speed setting, the right size to make the shutter, calculating the focal length to use, Im cranky and have lots of time coming up. was thinking of using old cell phone lens at first, or one of those clip on cell phone lenses they sell at the store to get a bit of variable focal length.

I know its "easier" to repair a camera, or to take an old camera and put in better components. But im curious on what sources show to build one from the ground up. Namely the shutter mechanism and how to calculate the focal length to use it with different film formats.

Me, I need the meter. And the two other listed companies are interesting but Reveni Labs makes a tad to much mention of using sunny 16 in their mathematics to inspire me to purchase from them.

if the fixer is the issue, what about the citric acid stuff

the c-41 film is pretty damn nice. However i cant process it myself.

The TRUE trick is in the advertising. You need to make the new product look better, or at the very least newer then the old. Cant make coffee in 5 minutes? Why you simply need hot tap water and Folgers Instant Coffee crystals. YUMMMM,,,,,, What dont have the time to make dinner, why heres our new TV DINNER.. Just ignore the taste of plastic and its GOOOD

107 would be fun to have. Be fun to do a replica of the 250 gg

how do these old lenses compare to the telescope lenses sold by vivitar these days that use a T mount adapter on them?

Well eddy, yes and no. I have seen talk about the company making the official rodinal making environmentally friendly and safe defeloper, fixer, and stop bath. cant find it for sale online though. Disposal for photo chemicals can depend upon the amount. Most municipalities put a limit on how much can be put into standard waste water treatment systems before you need to get permits and such.

alot of you dont seem to get the point. Can it still be called PHOTOGRAPHY when you take that photo of your cat on th window sill and use editing to make it a different time of day, change the background to a burning medieval castle, etc..

Lightroom Calibration Panel Tutorial - Signature Edits - Improve Your Photography the image of the road in the woods, that is an image. the original before on the left hand is fine, and looks like what you actually see in the woods 90% of the time. The right hand, is perhaps 10% of the time what you would see, in about a 1-2 hour window of day time during the time of year. But with this example the issue is, how can you still make the claim that the edited version is still the same image? Youve changed everything in it to make it "artistic" but never kept the actual image. Inspirational Lightroom Before and Afters Image 5. The before image isnt the greatest ill give you that. But its years ahead of the final image that is extremely nasty looking. Greens are gone to something else, the skin tone is shot, and looks like the exposure was a +3..... And the way the edited lights look like a horrid light flare is just sooooo professional looking. Hell the after image looks like it was taken with a vga stick camera circa 2000. Image 9... simply WTF.. after just blows puppy poo Image 10. The editing is purely crap. Sure the overall image doesnt change as sharply as the other examples.. but BUT..... the person doing the edit ONLY changed the foxes fur to a different time of daytime based on how the coloring change... and forgot to fix the grass around it... faux paw... or stupidity? COnsidering that the original image is how the animal actually appears in the wild in those conditions

As i dont print, dont have the equipment, Im just focused on the film aspect. I dont see the rapport with the person sitting for me as an important consideration. Its rather hard to get people to sit these days.

Mod note - originally posted in "Business of Photography" With all the post digital editing done these days? I do NOT mean digital equivalent of Dodge and Burn. I mean the full photographic cut room equivalent of ILM studio work. Take a photo of a low lit room, toss on luminar, and turn the table light on digitally, then make it a purple light. Or to take a photo of the house at dusk, and turn the street lights on, but as pink eye killers. Or ti take a photo of a kid staring out the window and cut and paste the background outside the window into being some stupid as fish tank view like on the photo shop instagram commercial? Would it still qualify as photography if the Hindenburg being destroyed was given the digital once over and all the lights were turn into pastel colors, and the flames turned to green, and perhaps the people on fire were given really cool colored flames? Would it qualify as anything if the napalm girl photo was given pink street lights?
