Just bought pic related (Canon 8-15mm f/4L EF Fisheye USM Lens). Should I have bought off brand instead? I have a Canon R8 and want to shoot some creative wide lens stuff.
/fgt/ daily reminder (courtesy by anon): one stop per decade is (generally) bullshit >negative film ages better than positive >black and white better than color >slow films better than fast >storage conditions (dry/cool) matter more than years >Negative film is shot 1 or 2 stops overexposed and then PULLED in development so that you build more density in the exposure and develop less such that the fog is limited >slide/positive film is shot at box speed or overexposed and pulled. >if you home develop you can also use benzotriazole as a restrainer for the the first developer in E6 process
Have you noticed this weird sentiment being spread lately about how if you take photos, then that means you aren't enjoying life, usually termed as "living in the moment"? It's so strange, what causes this and how do you deal with it? I love photography because I feel it connects me deeper to things, but it seems that's not the common opinion
How did photographers for nat geo shoot slide film? did they carry external light meters? Did they bracket everything? did everyone use to bracket everything during the AE-1 and k1000 and kodachrome days? the only time I ever shot slide film I had some images exposed fine, but a decent number under exposed by less than a stop. something that isn't an issue on that camera with negative film and an issue I've only had with negative film when using disposable cameras or shooting in a dark concert with a point and shoot (and even then most of them that were in focus were fine). the thing annoying about that specific SLR is the meter displays in full stops and the shutter is in full stops, so to bracket I'd need to shoot manual so I can change the apertures by half a stop while maintaining shutter speed. And if I bracket I get 5 shots instead of 15. That is the one thing good about shooting digishit instead, I can just hold down the shutter and not care
