I think I have things sorted with this kit, so will be shooting exclusively with it for this week and with the Zeiss pair of lenses. I'm also experimenting with the in camera JPG settings so shooting DNG+JPG - and this week will sick with the B&W settings for that as well. A bit of cross...

Walking down town with my friend Kat in Calgary

This was a 2.1MB digital camera introduced in 1999 https://global.canon/en/c-museum/product/dcc460.html Was inspired by the film section's "old photos" thread. CART (Champ Car) race in 2001, Portland, OR, I believe we can see the aftermath of lap 1 incident that took out Alex Zanardi (the...

I took out my (new to me) used Pentax Q10 with the 5-15mm f 2.8-4.5 and 15-45mm f 2.8 lenses, no goal specifically outside of trying to see what kind of images it can make and the user experience. Little wet duckies, light rain made things a bit more annoying so I stuck with the 15-45mm lens...

Found a new area today, had close to 100 shots...I'll bring it down to a few of my favorites and then spread the love to other threads that make sense. :) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

As you may have seen in the "Latest Acquisitions" thread, I'm joining the Leica cult. Again, thanks to @MoonMind for his ability to put up with an answer a lot of my questions. :) I've sent away my trade and am waiting for the transaction to complete. This is the gear that I am planning on...

Will mainly use the GR III, but wanted to have something on the long end just in case. The GRIII will have the TTArtisans 28mm hotshoe viewfinder on it for those times the sun is too much for that rear LCD. Used the new Negative Film picture control for the whole day. Quite like it...very...

My weekly triptych How quickly someone can get used to a challenge like 'Single in' is clear to me today. Today I can and may, but I don't have to invent and photograph anything. After delivering a photo every day for a month, this suddenly seems very strange. While shopping I thought it would...

Week 6 - Here we go!! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

It’s all @Brownie ’s fault. Not that I’m in the Minolta rabbit hole that I’m in, but for giving me some great information on some additional Minolta lenses and helping me find some good deals online! I now am in possession of the above mentioned lenses. My intention was to swing back into...

Really love this camera for it's CCD sensor. Weather was nice, wife, the dogs, we all went out and i got some shutter time in. RAW files processed in Lightroom. Monochromes processed in Nik Silver Efex Pro 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

(I've posted this on the 'other site' too.) I have an odd problem with both of my OM-1s. I'm not sure what I'm doing to cause it and have found only one way to get back to normal. Occasionally I somehow set the camera to Manual focus and can't get it to go back to S-AF+M by pushing the L-Fn on...

First couple of a series...

This is one of my favorite zoom combos for walk about. I will say that the Zfc was/is so far the better handler with gloves than the Fuji X-Pro2. I did get out and shoot with it today. Shot RAW+JPG and used the FujiXWeekly Kodak Elite Chrome recipe. Got to a few places that I have not...

I have no one to blame but myself for feeling the way I do. Not exactly sure how I feel, just, well, not the joy I felt when I got my A9, but, whatever, it is what it is. So, yesterday we were without power for 10 hours due to a power pole replacement that the power company has been undertaking...

Today starts the first day with this loadout. Weather is not very cooperative today, so I may not get out and get any shots, but I have the kit already in the bag and ready to go at a moments notice. Will use this thread to post my shots through out the week. Still trying to decide if I want...

It never ceases to amaze me just how simple it is, or how much I stress about it ahead of time.

The original idea started out here: https://cameraderie.org/threads/camera-a-week-personal-challenge-for-myself.54720/ Only shooting with this kit for the whole week of Jan 22 - Jan 28 (Sun-Sat). Found some graffiti in an underpass during my walk with the dog today 1 2 3 After the...

Moving complete just at the end of the year. I had decided to freshen up the prints in my office by replacing all but one or two of my existing shots. Placed the order last Friday, my favorite printing company Nations Photo had a pretty good sale going. Ordered 1-22 x 28, 1-16 x 20, 2-11x14's...

You all get an aadvanced look into what I will be eventually posting on my blog! I didn't post any images I took with the cell phone because the grip does not do anything to enhance the image quality. Background SnapGrip is an accessory for cell phones that allows you to either use the...

Having looked at the Oly Lens roadmap as well as searching the rumour mills and forums, there seems to be something brewing in the longer end of the medium telephoto zoom range. It do seem to be a slow boil, though. It anyhow got me thinking about my system, it also ties in with slipping a E-M10...

Went to back-up an on line checkbook and it was sent to a FFB file that I cannot open! Any clues would be greatly appreciated!!

Disclaimer first: I had this camera with me for less than a week and I only got to use it 3 times thus far (bad weather, overworking and illness have kept me from using it). Also, this comes from using a Sony a7R Mark II for the last 9 months and past experience with Sony a7C for about 6 months...

With the holidays fast approaching, I will have some downtime from work at last so I have set myself a project to try something a little creative. I have picked up a cheapish transducer device which you place in water and hook up to 24v and it creates a mist effect. I found out about these...

Hello, I have hinted on this for some time on the forum here and there. I have been doing lots of research, started watching tutorials and guides to professional work and pet photography (and will continue to do so). In simple terms, by summer 2023, I want to offer action and portrait...

I'm pretty new to the Nikon ecosystem, so here's some back story. I jumped in with a Z6 + Z24-70 f4 S + Z40 f2 + 70-300 AF-P + Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2 (all second hand except the 40). I sold off all my Olympus PRO stuff to offset the cost, keeping EM 1.1, P 25f1.7, O 45 f1.8 & 40-150 f4-5.6...

Hello. So this Friday I shot a friend's wedding, it was a very short event with only 8 and 1/2 people (their 2-year-old daughter was with them) at the local registry. There was no church or main event. Unfortunately, the couple was giving me low expectations and organization on what they wanted...

I am so excited that my hands won't stop shaking for a couple of hours (though they do that when I have low glycemia or high amounts of anxiety). I just received from MPB, in Like New condition, the Samyang AF 35mm f 1.8 and the Tokina atx-m 85mm f 1.8 FE. Please don't take this as an...

I woke up Saturday and my iPhone 12 was unresponsive, i.e., the display would not come on. The odd part was that it was clearly still on and active. When I plugged it in I got the "charging" sound. The weirdest thing was that my watch was clearly still talking to the phone. All the info...

A image to introduce myself. .

Hello, as I gather experience from my time with my Sony a7R II, I am slowly learning its quirks and limitations. At first, I was very impressed with the AF performance of the camera but as I use it in more varied situations and with different lenses the experience is getting more "colourful". I...

I have a nice Canon EOS650 fitted with a 35 -80mm zoom. It takes really nice images. I do the processing myself and then scan them at 4800dpi using my Canon 3000f flatbed scanner. I have just processed two rolls of film and are very disappointed. This one of my previous images take a few weeks...

My first month with the Tamron 150-500mm f 5-6.7 Di III VXD VC in Sony FE mount (in case Tamron decides to bring it in other mounts in the future) was very intriguing. After some intense internal debate, this lens won the fight between Tamron 70-300mm f 4.5-6.3 Di III RXD (for budget reasons)...

Featuring my daughter and me as the choir of angels (maybe?!) and the video was made by Laura, our daughter...

After much consideration I am adding a Gh6 to my 2 G9's and Gx85. And although I have a 12-35 I and the Oly 9-18, I am adding the PL 12-60 and 8-18mm to my other 8 lenses (basically for video with the Gh6). With the AI noise reduction and enlargement provided by my On1 programs I can't think of...

Every PC I use get these programs installed for my ease of usage: Notepad++ Universal editor, handles all file formats and gives you file format formatting. (XML files get their format, Python files get their format...) (One thing I really like is that I can create a new file and write stuff in...

@MountainMan79's post and responses from @JensM and I in the Acquisition thread got me to thinking. Many of us had parents, grandparents or other relatives that were into photography. And like us, some were heavily into it while others were casual users. The result is that a few of us have been...

as a Grandpa. They ALL were looking at the camera at the same instant!

Since last summer I've been a co-organizer for a meetup group and have been "focusing" on going to small towns around the area (keeping it within an hour or so of home). Over the last 6 or 7 years using M43 cameras (EPL1, EP5, Gx8, Gx85, G9) I've acquired some good glass (although I think most...

So we are out there for a walk, it's good for your health ugly weather or not, and it's also true. Then she says Look over there! And all I got was my 16mm to play with. actually, it was this one processed and cropped with Lr on my phone, then enhanced on Lr CC and resaved on the Mac to...

I'd prefer padded nylon, can't really find anything except for the A6XXX series and those are leather. I found some cheap pouches that you have to remove entirely to use the camera, not a first choice.

So, I finally took the roll of film from a few years ago to get developed from my test run of a Kodak Signet 35. I remember not enjoying the experience as much as I thought I would because of the very small viewfinder. I was mainly checking to see if it was serviceable in any way with accurate...

Back in the 70s and 80s, I had a great setup for processing black and white and color film and enlargements. I had two enlargers, a Philips 130/150 Dichroic color enlarger with Philips color analyzer for the color prints, A Beseler 23 also with a dichroic head but used for larger frame black...

I have been taking photos long before there were digital cameras. As a consequence, I’ve got half a closet full of slides and negatives that I’m trying to turn into more portable and malleable digital images. I used to own a Nikon LS9000 ED scanner. It was crazy expensive, but it was said to be...

Last night, my wife and I traveled 160 miles to watch my Kansas University play Texas Tech in basketball. KU is #7 in the nation and TT was 13. Our seats were in the nose bleed section of the Fieldhouse but it did not matter. I was among the 16. 299 other fans screaming for the Jayhawks. KU...

Last night was the awards ceremony for the images and also to recognize those who had attained a special status as a Pro Photographer as a member of PPA. I know that this is not a college degree as pointed out by a member of the other forum and it is more than described by the poster as a merit...

OK - was planning on selling X-H1 and 100-400, then decided against it as there might be an airshow in Yuma in March I might be able to make. Can't shoot the airshow without something equivalent and I won't have the money for something better-suited. Anywhos... I had reset the X-H1. I've...

For the past couple of years I have been thrashing about, trying to decide how to pare down my photographic kit as I head toward retirement and decide what direction in which to head. Well, I have finally made some decisions - and acted on them. For nearly a decade, I have been operating with...
