Calling all Photography nerds!

Nikon D500 few shots from some outings. Oh and one of the Falcon SpaceX Rocket.

 

Playing with light on the beach at the rise of the full moon.

 

Fire season started in central BC this weekend

 

I did take multiple sky shots but ultimately only used the one frame. This is a single shot with the foreground lit up by flashing a lume cube once or twice.

 

My local photography club had a large format meet and greet walk tonight. The idea was to expose large format newbs like me to the cameras, take some shots, and get to know the process and equipment. I got to shoot a 5x7 VDS camera with a 300mm f5.6 Schneider-Kreuznach lens.



I made six exposures on Ilford HP5 in about 2 hours, should have the scans soon I hope. I’m hooked... $$$

 

I have a medium format Pentax 6x7 body with a few lenses and extension tubes ive been wanting to play with.. just no time between shooting events and 9-5 on the weekdays. That and ive been actively chasing the milky way this year again.

 

I'd love a Pentax 67 one day!

I've had a raft of 35mm SLR's and rangefinders. I've had a couple medium format film cameras as well. I've never had a chance to operate anything that takes sheet film until last night. I really enjoyed the process; it's so much different than shooting roll film cameras with view finders. Yes it's a slower process, to an extent, but other than requiring a tripod it's not terribly different than how I approach shooting regardless of format. Movements are freakin' cool too.

 

Gah this guy is everywhere. Damn you Kyle lol

(PS it’s Ben Fitz)

 

Yep I dabble about with photography but definitely no pro lol

Actually just started back up with it again lol

Here’s a couple of my recents

 

I’d say you probably seen some of those shots but I’m sure my username gave it away first lmao

 

Im not allowed to post my pictures but some of them can be viewed here:

 

Ha ha oh I’ve seen the vape one no questions lol

 

Here’s a shot I took with my canon rebel t5. I’m a newbie and don’t know much about dslr cameras but I try haha

 

first thing that opened my eyes up was starting to shoot in raw. You can mess with the settings later after youve shot to see how exposure effects your pictures. Good Luck.

 

Yes all I shoot is raw. So much easier to actually tweak the photo especially when conditions aren’t optimal

 

FWIW -- all digital cameras (and phones) shoot in RAW --it's just how you and your camera decide to save them. Most "cheaper" cameras and cell phones -that decision is made for you - mostly saved as JPEGs. Better systems -- you have control over how shots are saved.

 

True. I just prefer to work with raw over jpg. Just more editing ability.

I shoot a Nikon D500

 

I have Nikon D3400, I haven't shot any pics much with my dslr lately. Mostly from my phone. Definitely need to get back into it soon.

 

That is truly the best idea if you want super results. Only drawback is most people don't want to give the time the work/fun requires.
