This thread's to share what you're most stoked about in the photo/film world. I know people are busy and have a lot of ideas that they want to pursue, and just haven't quite had the time yet to make it happen. Hopefully posting some things you want to film will help you to create some time to get it done.

To start things off--

- I just got back in touch with a friend that four wheels and is so sick at it. I already have a perfect song picked out and have been picturing the shots I'll get for the last day. Can't wait to start filming.

- Finally picked up a sandisk extreme pro 32gb 95mb/s SD card for my t2i and no longer have to worry about "filming has stopped automatically", makes me feel so much more confident when filming important things

- Just purchased a 3tb hard drive, so all my shits backed up!

share your giddyness

Stoked to finally start shooting skiing! Big early season rail jam/comp coming up tomorrow night. My setup is probably going to be 5dc, 17-40L, 50mm, and a flash or two; and then my f1, 50mm, orange filter, and some tmax 3200.

Frozen from the late 90's. But dude, Ilford is still doing as well as ever, not worried at all. I love hp5 and delta.

too sick!

My GPU is starting to shit out on me, and my motherboard/CPU are starting to get old and sluggish on boot. Think I'm going to grab a new CPU/GPU/Mobo/case and slap a new computer together

thanks man, super happy with how it turned out!

also, I would highly recommend to anyone who gets prints done to try out metallic paper, seriously my favorite photo paper! recommended for B&W and colourful images because it really helps the colours to pop out and gives it a more three-dimensional look.

well I dont think graphics cards last as long as the other components. If I had another card i'd test to see if the mobo/processor were fine and everything was just GPU related (I believe it is)

That graphics card has run 2 monitors for a year and a half+, then a QHD 2560x1440 monitor for the last few months. It runs at 60c idle and ~75c peak graphics load. Definitely not an easy life

Nobody understands. But, until the mystery is resolved, he's probably trolling. Either way, it's enjoyable imo

It's like 160ish mm in 35.

I wish I could get the 500mm f8 for my hass. Would make shooting that kind of stuff a breeze.

I thought it was ~135mm in 35mm...but I could definitely be wrong.

I'm kind of banking on using this mostly in AK, where spines are really dense and you can get right up against them from other peaks instead of having to zoom in 3 miles (generally speaking) like most other places.

My buddy shot this with a p&s at the wide end:

This^

the factor to go from 6x6 to 35mm is 1.6

(inb4 zack says he thought it was 6x7, is used to calculating 6x7, or that 6x7 is better)

*Thomas.

I got the 1.6x cus I know 80mm on 6x6 is 50mm on 35, therefore 80/50=1.6

I just divided 250 by 80 in my head.. it came out to about 3. then multiplied 3 by 50 and added a little more to it for good measure.

mathz.




also, fuck your 6x7 shit, Zach ;)

Stoked that this winter could bring me a lot of work, and that I'm making steps to set up jobs for myself for the spring and down time.

Also a few gear things i've finally gotten around to grabbing:
Rode VMP + Windscreen
Vagabond Mini Lithium
11" Long Throw Reflector
Soon: the elusive 70-200. Fkn 5d2 needs to sell!

yeah its great having a big photo department in my school, especially since I can use their darkroom during after-school hours for personal projects.
I also get unlimited use of film and paper for a $30 lab fee

30$$?$?$?$?? OH MY FUCKING GOD.
I'm taking photo class at college right now and I have to pay 100$/semester for unlimited chemicals and great facilities (we have about 50 enlargers and 18 dark rooms), but film/paper is something we have to buy ourselves.
