Cool.
Happy snapping.
The lomography film isn't as bad as you would think it is, I used a few rolls of the 800 iso film and it was fairly nice.

I've heard different about it, but it's entirely subjective.
Well its cheap compared to "main brand" film, so at 12 quid for 3 rolls its very nice at 800 iso

Oh, by cost, I have no idea. I figured it would be more expensive due to the fact that Lomography likes to bump things up in price in general. I mean, $250 for a plastic Lomo LC-A with a glass lens is ridiculous. In fact, they're pretty pricey with all of their cameras, so I figured that the film would be the same way.
But for subjective, I was talking about the quality of the film itself.
[QUOTE=Him1411;37918937]I watched the film The House at the End of the Street the other day and some of the photographic techniques used in the film are really quite awesome! also the stories great so i definitely recommend it![/QUOTE]
im not a fan of horror movies. It's a horror movie right?
So I totally disappeared for a little while. My apologies :v:
More Argus Porn:
I replaced the gears with a nicer set from a newer model. Gears are absolutely mint with no wear! :D Also replaced the old spring with a tighter spring. That should keep the knobs nice and tight! (Eheheh. That's what she said?)

Ahhhh. I was seriously considering doing something like that. I was looking at exotic leathers too.
I'm restoring this one to as close as I can to how it would have been right off the shelf. Black leatherette! :D
I'm at the point where I'm actually sitting down and cleaning every individual screw until they're shiny again! :v:
[QUOTE=MoarFunz;37927777]im not a fan of horror movies. It's a horror movie right?[/QUOTE]
it is yes but its not scary at all, just more of a sinister/creepy storyline with a few jumps
fuck jumps man.
they're not even bad!
hey man think of it this way, it's a few seconds(if that) of your life within a few hour experience, you'll thank yourself you went through it later because you'll find it made you feel more connected to the story you just recieved
true words man, and the story is great i think!
Anyone got any good tips on astrophotography?

What are you wanting to do?
Wide views of the milky way or telescopic images of nebulae, etc?

Climbing Ben Nevis in a couple of weeks.
Gonna get some more typical lone-figure-in-interesting-environment type shots.
The 1x.com Forum moderators are a bunch of 50year old retards, I swear to god I wrote constructive replies containing more than 120 letters of what I like, dislike and improvement suggestions - and they come PMing my mailbox saying ''WHY YOU LIKE THIS?, WHY YOU DISLIKE THIS? STATE PLX OR WE BAN U''.

Tell your mom to fuck off, seriously. Back in the day our teacher was yelling at us, giving us framing directions when it was a practice for us to improve our own skills, not the teacher's. I've had enough and told him to shut the fuck up resulting in the whole class turning toward him and go like ''Yeah, man. Let us practice.'' Good day.

Well just going outside and taking wide shots of the sky.

Wish I had a telescope since proper astrophotography looks cool as hell.
Stargazing in general looks pretty fun.

Maybe I'll invest in one when I'm sure that's what interests me.
Today is my first time buying Magic: The Gathering cards because I decided to start playing. I pulled a foil "Jace, Architect of Thought". Which is worth anywhere from 80-100 USD. I think this is a very good introduction to the game.
Was at a beautiful location earlier tonight, but the there less light than I planned. No moon to be seen, is that normal? Well I had to shoot at f/4, ISO 200, and a 16 minute exposure. It still turned out to be one stop underexposured, full of noise, and the focus soft.
Disappointed at the miss opportunity, but there is always next time.
The photo with a little bit of editing:

should have stopped up to about f/8 and focused to infinity, allows a wider depth of field a sharper image
[QUOTE=Him1411;37944742]should have stopped up to about f/8 and focused to infinity, allows a wider depth of field a sharper image[/QUOTE]
I normally do have it at f8, but that would've resulted in a [B]64 minute[/B] exposure. Not something I would be interested in doing, lol. Also, the kit lens has no infinity marker and turning the focus to one side isn't actually infinity, so its basically guessing.
to be honest buddy, for a startrail shot it seems highly over-exposed so it shouldnt be.. ahhh right yeah mines like that sadly too

Maybe, but a startrail shot wasn't what I was going for. I like night landscapes.

Go far out, to the darkest spot you can get to, far from any lights.
Choose a dry night in the fall or winter when the sky is darkest.
Focus to infinity (if you don't have a focus scale on your lens, use a distant light source or bright star to focus on).
Stop down a little bit and set an exposure time of about 30-60 seconds (unless you want obvious star trails). Play with the ISO to see what the usable limit is.
Then frame your shot, with a little bit of landscape in the shot to give it a nice sense of direction and scale, make sure the tripod is sturdy and then set a shutter timer for a few seconds (to stop the shake of you hitting the shutter).
