We all started in the same position mate! Just think, if you just started lifting weights at a gym you're not going to be able to lift the same as the huge meat head across the room yet and the only way to get on his level is to lift and stick with it.

My photographs are backed up to two different drives on my PC. I also have two external drives that I rotate every week, with one locked up at uni just in case my house burns down. Sometimes I feel like I'm being too paranoid but then I read shit like this and get chills.
i keep my photos on an external hdd but i don't really care if i lose them much because i have original size copies on flickr. i don't really go back and edit old photos so w/e
i barely keep my photos, once they're edited/uploaded, they're gone if something happens to them. i don't really worry about losing photos.

I'm watching this now and finding it almost unbearable.
But learning a lot, about how I want to be, but also how I do not want to be.

I biked to my parents house from uni today because I wanted to see my dogs, 40 mile trip there and then a train journey home. Weather was stellar too, great day.
Also, Im about to watch that pick - I sent the link to a uni mate and he thoroughly enjoyed it so I'm excited!

ive been thinking about what medum format size i should get, and im really stuck between 6x4.5 and 6x7
is 6x7 really that beneficial to image quality? should i get a 6x4.5 for starters, since they're smaller and more film economical?
6x7 will get you a lot more film area (42cm vs 27cm area), but 645 is a lot cheaper to shoot because equipment is cheaper and you get more shots per roll.
i did a write up a bit if you want to check it out, might have some helpful info

driving-snapping is geat when u can grab a cam out of the cup-holder and just point it at whatever
I like snapping while being a passenger, I need a zoom lens though I just can't frame correctly otherwise

I wish I could turn invisible with my camera. So I could even take pictures of peoples faces with flash without them noticing. I often see interesting people or interesting situations and am just too scared to take a picture because I am too afraid of their reaction. It's really frustrating especially when I get inspired after looking at great street photographs.
shoot IR film with IR flash :P
That horrible feeling when you're biking somewhere and cycle from 2-3 excellent photo opportunities..

I feel like I'm cheating when I use presets in VSCO. Is it? I've been done most of my edits on my own but sometimes I use VSCO and just choose a filter I like.
[QUOTE=Rammaster;44230069]Is it?[/QUOTE]
it's a tool, just like anything else
is using a certain film for the colours you know it will give you cheating too?
[editline]14th March 2014[/editline]
with digital or film, you're creating your own interpretation of the medium's interpretation of the original scene, what matters is whether or not you got the look you [I]wanted[/I] to get
[QUOTE=Uber|nooB;44230081]it's a tool, just like anything else

Good point. But I feel like I should know first how to get pictures to look like the filters on my own.
if you recreate the look of the filters, you're basically just wasting time you could have spent on editing other photos, or doing something else entirely
i normally play around with vsco presets, find one that approximates what i want to get, then change it around; it's way quicker than starting from zero
