>>4438566I don't think I need MF to take pics of my dog. I just really like how the pictures look from them and have fun using those cameras the most. Get a pentax 645D and see what mf is all about. They aren't that expensive and you get 50 whole megapickles.
The only camera I "need" to use are 4x5 and 8x10 because I love making contact prints. I have the absolute most fun using them. So much fun that I'm satisfied with taking one or two pictures in a day! Limit yourself to only a couple pictures in a day. It's a pretty interesting limitation to impose on yourself.
I guess I could print digital negatives, but I would rather spend the money on film instead of ink and an expensive printer that won't even get close to the quality of my real cameras.
Yeah. Don't take yourself too seriously, buy the cameras you want, and take the pictures you want. Have fun. Create something meaningful! That's what hobbies are for.
Just look at how many people's heads my dog and I live rent free in because I am simply taking and sharing the photographs/prints I want to take. They love saying my pictures suck, but they will never give any meaningful criticism or share their work.
I'll tell you right now it is not because my pictures are that terrible. My photography could be better, of course, but so could yours and everyone else who posts on here!
I think it is pretty immature to care so much and obsess over how good or bad another person's work is. It's not a competition. The sane adults are in it to have fun, talk about something most of us really enjoy and maybe make a few bucks if we're lucky!
>>4438582Tremendous cope. Go look in fgt I posted some nice pics. Give me some real criticism about them. :D And maybe post a few photos.
Oh yeah, I sold my first albumen print of eggs the other day. :D
