What's a good way to go about adding artifacts to a photo? (similar to what bopie occasionally does)
brush strokes :)

My favorite method is to scan a blank (unexposed) negative - say from the end of a roll - and overlay it with the "lighten" blending option in PS. Results in scratches and scanner dust, and even grain at higher ASA's.
Just loaded my first ever roll of 120, some Portra 400, with 4 more rolls waiting to be exposed. I am very excited.
I just lost that small plastic thing that holds the camera stuck to the tripod.
Fuck, I hate small plastic things that are important. Doesn't matter how cautious you are, it's going to get lost.
That's why I keep mine in a film roll box thing.
in the worst case you could just put a piece of rubber between the body and the tripod head.
Found it finally.
In my camera bag which I had searched in 100 times before.
Stupid bag with its billions of pockets and small crevices for stuff to hide.
I got to play around with a Red One today.

The Leica (microscope) I was talking about:
(I did not remove the hood because the room was basically plastered in biohazard signs and there where "informational" posters showcasing bacteria. Like the one with a strain of bacteria that would go into your urinal vessel build up there and the more force to remove it would be applied the longer its "tentacles" would get that are holding onto you.)

I suspect that this instructions where made by a Laica fanboy (see 9.)

The Red One is such a fun camera, but then we loaded the 4k project and thought otherwise.
Well my trip to scotland is a bit more planned now. I have a place to stay now in Edinburgh, and my new debit card arrives soon so I can buy my ticket for the bus.

Hi, I want to get into amateur photography and have read that you guys suggest film over digital because it teaches you to take better shots(or better said to not waist shots).
I just wanted to know if anyone knows about or can recommend getting a [B]Canon AE-1[/B] as I have found a pretty cheap one that comes with a lens(I think its just the stock lens that would have come with the camera but I cant afford that much so it should be fine for starting out).
Does anyone know if its easy to clean lens fungus?
[QUOTE=Richy19;36441918]Does anyone know if its easy to clean lens fungus?[/QUOTE]
Next to impossible if it's in the inner glass and you don't have watchmaker hands and a complete blueprint/assembly guide of the lens iirc
Does anyone have a Nikon 50mm (AI version) I could borrow, I really want to try out my Nikon EM. Another thing will it work with a M42 adaptor?

Won't focus to infinity with m42 lenses because of the longer register distance. Will require optics in your adapter.

I know that but I don't know if the camera would work with an adaptor at all.
Is it just me or all you needed to shoot a music video in the late 90s/early 00s was a couple squares of suburbs, a dolly and a fisheye lens

Honestly, I'm against film for beginners. Well, not against, but I'd recommend digital first. The reason being, you get instant feedback. You can take 1000 shots of the same subject but with different angles and different settings. This way you get to learn without wasting a single penny on developing. You also don't have to wait to find out about shots. If you've overexposed a shot, you get to fix it right then and there; you'll learn how to correctly adjust for different situations without worrying about burning through film.
The downside is the upfront cost. You can get a whole host of film equipment for dirt cheap. You'll have to drop some serious cash if you want a solid beginner's setup (although you can find some good deals if you look around). So if you are really committed and think photography is for you, I'd go digital. Learn about being conservative and getting the right shot after you actually learn to take photos.
Plus if you start off with film and stick to it for a long time, you turn painfully pretentious
have you edited your DP there Jaanus? or have those big eyes always been there (only just noticed them today)

looking to buy a new dslr in between 1000 and 2000 AUD, not really sure what I should get though..
Jaanus, do you really have a television show? I need to watch it
[editline]22nd June 2012[/editline]
the more i think about it the more i think you may have been kidding...
Just remembered I acquired an oldish scanner from a skip and it seems to work. Later on I'll try to make some modifications to try and scan negatives.
Its a HP Scanjet 2400.
Its not that bad at scanning 4x6s

Are Red one's actually capable of taking stills? I've always been under the impression that they're broadcast quality (or above really) video cameras and aren't used for photography.
