/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

What are safe alternatives to 4chan for like-minded people for photography?

Seeing of how I'm not tough enough for this site, are there sites I could go to that have photography, film, and filmmaking in it that have a supportive community, that enjoys Criterion Collection films. That is not a place that attempts to be a boot camp. A place where I can get the intelligence of the artists here, but try to supportive?

It's your twice weekly gear thread! The most active discussions on /p/ right here!

I'm currently in the market for a new macro focusing rail, my current one is just a cheapo off amazon you need to loosen to adjust.
I see Sirui making decent items all around, and they make a focusing rail for less than $120 but I wouldn't mind some input from other anons.

I have an addiction to taking photos of bees
What are you addicted to photographing?

Fuck you making a new general, general.

The purpose of this general is to discuss your favourite poisons and ethers used to clean optics and sensors, tools and tooling for disassembling and repairing camera bodies/lenses, solvents and materials used for replacing shit that rots.

>thread question
What is your go to cleaning fluid? How do you control asshole dust particles? Why are my kim whipes so dusty?

If your not a self hating sensor size queen doesn't this seem like the perfect everyday carry? Nothing can replace film but at least for digital shooting this looks perfect for most use cases not covered by the OM-2 Mark ii.

Any tips for graffiti or so called "street art" photography? Give me your harshest criticism.
I've started taking photographs only recently and I'm mainly interested in demons, usually in urban areas. Basically anything occult or disgusting. Poverty, prostitution, drug addicts, all that sort of stuff.
Other subjects such as buildings, landscapes, animals, etc, I don't find too difficult to frame although I'm still in the process of learning this new hobby.
But those graffiti ones, which I find are my favourite since the subjects are mostly being drawn by schizos and vendalists, are more difficult. They always come out dirty or messy to some degree, or maybe that's just in their nature.
I'll post some that were taken on Tel Aviv. I'm about to embark or a journey throughout Europe, where I'm told this phenomena is 20x worse than in here, and I want to be ready since my time over there is very limited.
