When it comes to describing Garth Hill’s photography, many call it “dream-like,” comparing him to Salvador Dalí or René Magritte.[/QUOTE]

Been to Berlin for yesterday and today and visited the Pergamon museum, I took so damn many pictures and some of them got really good since I was basically a tourist and just tried to do more "street" and I can't wait to show you guys but I can't develop until tuesday.
Good weekend.
Cheers.
Just had an extremely emotional moment. Was browsing and touching up my photos from the last 12 months for this year's school art book (most published photographer last year thankyouverymuch (they only published my ~tumbla~ photos (fuckers))). Brought to tears by how much I've progressed artistically and how solid my portfolio is now. Don't care if you think I'm tooting my own horn, but I'm just so taken aback by the beauty of my own photos. If you haven't had a look at your own photos as a whole set for a while give it a go, highly recommended.
i looked at a photo i took a year ago and went "shit i haven't taken anything decent since"

I really like my photographs now, I always look at them over and over again after I'm done with them.
It's a good feeling, but I know there is always room for improvement.
i don't really like my photos because when i'm taking them i'm all like "wow this is going to be the best photo ever!!" and then a few months after i finally look at them im like "wow this is a literal turd i didn't even know it was possible to be this bad"
That just shows you've improved. I'm sure everyone is the same with a lot of their older photos. For me, when I started shooting I had 'macro' shots of random stuff in my backyard and thought it was so awesome because of ~bokeh~. Few months later or so, I looked back on it and realized how unappealing the photo was. Anyways, I feel that I've improved quite a bit, but a lot slower than others on here though. I still don't have a 'style' of photography that I'm proud of. Except for a few of my sports shots.
My shooting got better once I spent a lot of money on gear I never use or needed my photos are 100% better guaranteed
It's great to look back and see how far I've come. I'm only legitimately proud of a few of my photos, but the progress I've made is easy to spot. You guys coerced me into getting my first camera, and it's been just over a year since then. luv u guys <3
Here's my first post in this section

Expect much more from me once I get my c41 kit ;)
So I found out that the Instamatic 804 I've got requires 126 film, and from what I can find, they don't make that any more.
The only film I can find is from the 70's. Is that film even usable? I know very little about it so my apologies if that's a dumb question.
And assuming it is usable, all the people selling it have decided to only accept Paypal, which I do not have.
Aghhhhh.

Not worth it, you'll have to find a place to develop it too. Old cameras look nice but unless they take a film still in production they are more hassle than anything
Was out taking photos for the first time in a while this arvo, found a big old mirror someone put out as hard rubbish and used it as a high powered reflector. Was like a snoot flash that I could meter as it was static, interested to see the results.

Well 126 was actually standard C41 process film, so it shouldn't be that bad on that end...
Also, if you wanted to go through the hassle to use it, 126 film was actually 35mm in width. It is possible to wind a roll of 35mm film into one of the old film packs, if you take care to cover up the window, and you'd have to take a few blank exposures after every shot to advance the film properly. Probably not worth the hassle, but could be interesting to do once or twice.
I redid the stitching on my Kodak 1A case because the old stuff was basically falling off. Now it looks all newish and I have a sturdy case I can take it out and about in.

I had some initial difficulties using the camera because it took 116 film, which has a spool about a quarter inch longer than 120, but I got around that with some double sided tape inside it to fill the gap and add enough tension to hold the film spool in place. It already had a 116 spool in there, so I am set for the take-up end of things.
I messed up my first roll of film through it because I didn't realise how different the frame sizes would be and that I'd need to shoot every other frame number.

I was considering that, but I think that'd be too much hassle for me. Maybe later on if I get into using film, but definitely not how I'd want to get started.
Guess I'll stick to digital for now.
Girl found dead around my area. Found at the dam (not really allowed to go there, but people do anyways to shoot some photos.). Took photos myself there sometime last year or a little before that. Kinda creepy.

the first sentence of that news article is confusing
I take my last final soon, then dorm checkout and I'm done for the summer!
Got some cool summer plans, hopefully meeting with some friends soon enough, and then I'm also working on a film as the cinematographer.
I've decided that my ultimate summer goal is to try and make as much money without working, so I will be stalking Craigslist as well haha (got my eyes on a contax 137 with a zeiss 50mm 1.7 for $40, could sell it for $180 eBay methinks). Hoping to get some misc summer photo stuff too, I want to get a nex 7
[QUOTE=Trogdon;40573034]I want to get a nex 7[/QUOTE]
Save some money and get the NEX 6. You get a better sensor and faster AF with certain lenses. It's actually a better camera than the NEX 7.
I like the 24mp sensor (it's in my a77), it has more dynamic range and has the capability of more detail with good lenses. I don't have many native e lenses so I'm not too concerned with AF (haven't had a problem with my nex 5 ever), plus I want the tri navi, mic input, and alpha hotshoe
With the 7n around the corner prices should fall below the 6 hopefully
I got into a Uni project in Trier, we'll be doing experiments on the Porta Nigra, an ancient roman gate building.

Gonna use ultrasound and active and passive infrared methods to determine if the black cover that makes it so iconic is protecting the building or housing water/bacteria/plants that destroy it.
I'm excited!
Okay, so I think it's time I actually buy a tripod. :v:
I want something relatively cheap, but obviously not a flimsy piece of crap.
Any suggestions?
[editline]sfasf[/editline]
Oops, meant to post this in the gear thread.
how cheap is relatively cheap?
[editline]10th May 2013[/editline]
i got a slik 340dx recently, you can find them for about £70 or so; it's not the tallest tripod ever (comes up to about chest height or thereabouts) but pretty damn sturdy and can hold up a heavy camera, also folds up real small for how much weight it can hold
£70 isn't cheap in terms of things in general, but it's cheap in terms of decent tripods
