Some nice cars driving around downtown Montreal this weekend for the grand prix.

There was a Singer Targa but i haven't been able to find it :indiff:

Shot with a Huawei Nova Plus in Manual mode, edited it with Snapseed. Pretty happy about the result.

Honestly looks like it's out of a GMC Facebook post. Kind of?

Kind of went for that generic looking panning shot that something like Edmunds would do with my boss's Lexus RX450h press car.

Attempted to do some light painting with my friend's new Corolla iM. Single exposure.

I only kept 10% of the pictures from the weekend. I got a media pass and was able to take pictures from the infield of the track.

That's what sucks about these types of events. Only a handful of images come out the way you want them even though you came back home with full SD cards.

Bald eagle spotting.

The 55-210 for APS-C E Mount is subpar. I wish there were more lenses for E-Mount.

Overlooking Durrës, Albania.

Pogradec, looking at Lake Ohrid. Across the lake is Macedonia and to the right is Greece. Should've visited Lin, but we decided to go further down to Pogradec. Although Lake Prespa is a more direct view of the three countries.

This bike belongs to a man from Holland. Met him in Pogradec, Albania

Didn't get a proper pic of the bike though :/

Is there a thread for film photographs? I've had this camera for a little while now and only just went and had a few rolls of film developed. Couple I liked

Some of the film that came with the camera was super expired and this is what I ended up with.

Not that I know of, but there probably should be. I shot six rolls while at Concours a few weeks back...

Speaking of film, I'm reaaally thinking of getting a Nikon F4 :embarrassed:

They're really cheap on eBay, so why not?? Plus film isn't that expensive and nowadays all you need is a good scanner.

(We'll get back on topic soon, I'll upload some edits from my time at the Canadian Tire racetrack; just realised I never posted them)

I've been wanting an F3 for some time but I just can't get myself to pull the trigger. I've already got $1,500 worth of 35mm cameras and lenses to sell, plus if I'm going to shoot film I go for medium format pretty much every time.

I'm slowly editing many, many pictures.

DO IT!

You can keep most of the lenses, no? Just run an adapter and use most of them in manual. It's so satisfying nailing the focus manually :embarrassed:

(Of course you know this, I shouldn't be giving you tips/advice out of all people :lol:

I haven't posted in a while, so here are some favorites of mine over the last few months. I've mostly been shooting race car stuff lately to work on my panning shots but I'll only include a few of the better ones

Some great improvement on here.... 👍 & Some new posters...

If someone wants tipps on shooting film, especially scanning film, I might be able to help.

Either by PM, or I start a thread....

I have scanned over 15000 negatives... done research for countless hours and process them, digitally, completely be "hand". No algorithm in play...

And am by no way done.... my family photo back log is huge....

(over 120 years)

So either ask for a separate thread, pm me, or ask a question. I still lurk around often

Biggest points out of the way first:

A proper scanner for dedicated 35mm film will set you around 300-400 bucks (best bang/buck, there's cheaper and way more expensive)
Turn off all algorithm
Scan the negative as it is, with all dust, grain, scratches....
Use cotton gloves, anti static brush (alcohol if needed, rarely needed)
Get a copy of PS (elements should cover it)
Expect the scanner to die at some point (most are rated at around 8000s scans)

The results in IQ, DR are amazing (for film). Comparing them to printed versions of back then, the DR is 10fold. *mindblowin'*

Here a quick random pic comp.

Positive as it came from the store in 1993:

Scanned at 3600dpi (now I do 4200dpi), both are comparable to modern dslr resolutions....
The scan here just got the colors inverted and slightly corrected...

+1 to those who saw the difference in the crop.... you get more when you scan yourself.... the auto. borders cut so much out....

Also...

Got a new camera, 80D upgrade from my 600D... what a step up!!! (for me, not for canon,... boooo canon

) In both DR and high ISO...having grain in high iso compared to chroma :drool:

Was eyeing the 6Dii, but that price and the previews and reviews of DR at low ISO 👎

Shot with the 80D.... my new male goat... the horns of the devil:

And 80% crop from the 24mp 80D

Can't complain about my choice 80D.vs.6Dii. Both pics were underexposed by one stop at iso 100-250 to see the DR improvements on the new gen. sensors from canon. Can't say I'm disappointed. (6Dii doesn't use that tech. still uses old sensorn processing from canon, why it's not as good at low iso DR (but sure has a nice high iso range), but for me not worth double price of the 80D)
