I received this exact camera from my family along with some Fujifilm film. And it also has the exact same lens as in the photo... Would it be a good start to learning photography? I know it's not the best camera in the world, but it's the one I have.

I have a digital camera, but I don't know... I'd like to see what it's like to photograph in analog.

Just have someone else develop them for you. Most people do this. Self-development is very niche.

If you don't have a good digital camera to "scan" your film then forget about self-development, just send them to the nearest hipster lab. I don't think buying a film scanner is worth it, and you can buy a DSLR/Mirrorless later once you get more comfortable with the hobby.

Excuse the question, but just to get a point of comparison, how much does it cost to digitize the photos you take analogically?

In my country, each photo costs 50 cents of a dollar.

>and the autofocus is better than every nikon, fujifilm, panasonic, and pentax ever made
Already true of the EOS-1n, let alone the 5D2, to be quite honest with you, senpai.
>doesnt need magic lantern for ISO settings to work correctly
ML doesn't change anything about the operation of the ISO settings in the OVF, only the live view. Most of what ML does is live view only with the exception of the shooting section, so stuff like trap focus and intervalometer.

Counterpoint, the 5D2 has interchangeable focusing screens, whereas the 3 does not. The 2 also has a better reputation for reliability than the 3, and the 2 is usually a fair bit cheaper. Though I will admit these two cameras are currently in close competition for the best digital camera you can buy when measuring by price per performance. How lucky we are that our hobby has technology that ages so gracefully.

Yeah but the rolling boy just operates like a normal camera, albeit a somewhat unwieldy one. Technicals don't really work outside of a studio and a tripod is a must.

I mean with the right databack they totally do work like a normal camera. They are commonly used for landscapes. Idk if the newer ones have helicals built into the lenses or not, so maybe not great for studio work unless you have one with a bellows..

You take the lens and film back off your rb67 it will take similar time to set up. Why is 100 speed film easier to use off a tripod than 100 iso? I'm confused by your thinking on this one.

The focus box goes over the contrasting edge of the eyeball that is closest to you because DOF extends back more than it extends forward and autofocus locks on to contrast edges. If you want the nose in focus you have to shoot at f8 to f11 and focus on the midface. Practice this and check focus to fine tune your work.

Both photos are underexposed and have shitty white balance as well. Shoot raw so you can adjust exposure and wb on the kind of screen people will see photos on instead of relying on the camera.

Welcome to using your very first dslr btw

I know exactly what you mean, but for me it was the inverse path to yours.
I started on APS-C as my first ILC and used it happily for, I kid you not, close to ten years. My dad has been running FF with an MF prime that whole time and every time I would look at his photos, I could see that the images would just come out differently. Eventually, I ended up buying a FF camera last summer and my images they have that same something that my dad's did, even though I'm running a superzoom.
Hard not to be excited about FF with compact bodies like A7C2 and Zf.

have a pentax kp came with a 35mm f/2.4 autofocus, and cause it was cheap and old and looks cool a 200mm 1979 manual focus lens. I'm gonna be taking wilderness pictures and right now I find everything I take with the 35mm doesn't look good and everything on the 200mm looks awesome its just impossible to actually get anything in frame have to be shooting across water or at an individual bird etc. I'm just wondering what would be the best slightly shorter then the 200mm option and what do you think the best option for shooting in a dense forest almost feels like I need something more pulled back and wider to really capture what is feels like to be surrounded etc

I had to tweak the iso speed to get the proper lighting. yes, it was a blood red sunset.
August-October is the best months to take photos in California due to the golden-light effect is strongest.

Fort Point and Golden Gate good shot.
Im guessing late afternoon since the sun is on the western side of the bridge.
also I stated in my last post about opposite sunrises when I meant NYC or East Coast Sunrise over the Atlantic vs Sunsets over the Pacific have different lighting due to daily pollution. I'v seen amazing sunrises in NY but nothing like sunsets in San Francisco or LA.
So again, its not a over saturated filtration by the camera that often happen. it was natural.
also look up 9/9/2020 over San Francisco.
looked like Blade Runner the entire day. freaked everyone out. it was like a red beam outside my shades when I woke up

Nice schizo post. It's the Angus L. MacDonald bridge shot from the Dartmouth side, facing West at sunset. Only one of the towers (the Dartmouth side) is in the water, which you can clearly see here. I took that snapshit like 15 years ago, it has a new deck now.

I don't even believe you're legitimately defending your OP snapshit anymore, it likely belongs to someone you have a problem with and want to see people shit on it. If you have to resort to this your snapshits must be even worse.

I normally scuff my white balance to be greenscale, so that when the filter is applied, the highlights turn yellow instead of pink. Not sure how to retrieve the exact number, but if you have a canon, set the WB custom to the most overblown highlight photo you have

C41 is a standardized process that is uniform regardless of film speed (pushing/pulling aside), while b&w can be done different ways to achieve different outcomes and also requires different timing for different film speeds (unless your lab is doing rodinal stand dev I guess). More complexity = more expensive, while every lab has a machine that basically does c41 for them.

B&W dev is done by hand, and C41 film is done by machine automation.
I've seen a moderate rise of C41 B&W film being sold locally this past year or so. Local shop has sold a lot more XP2 Super than even HP5 according to the owner. The film is like an extra two bucks per roll but costs 2/3rd the dev cost at the same store so it's actually more economical.

Besides, think of how much time it takes you to dev a single roll at home. Even if you've done it a hundred times and have all the chems ready to go, it still takes you a good 20-30 minutes to go through everything all the way to drying. I'm not surprised shops are charging $20 USD a roll to have an intern spend a solid half an hour on a single job.

also that's the reason you never give your BW film to a lab because they don't know what look you want and they just use $something. if you shoot BW film you have to develop yourself to keep full control of the process. otherwise you could just get a digicam and shoot the monochrome JPG profile. same amount of control - just less cost.

>How would you have added a sense of weight? Is an entire structure being held up by a cracking egg not enough?
It just doesn't feel like it is held up by the egg. The top brick just looks like it's resting on the right-most brick, making a safe shelter for the egg, rather than putting it in danger.
Also the composition feels very static, being framed on top and bottom with horizontal bricks, and left corner, adding a right angle. Even with the two slanted bricks, it exudes stability, rather than peril and impending doom.
>Im also curious why you mentioned the cable in the background and still thought it was laying on the ground. How does that even make sense?
I think my initial impression of it being top-down was so strong that I just didn't connect the two facts. Want thinking much about desu, the cable didn't seem too out of place in a pile of rubble.
