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

Annecy is such a nice town! I was there last year and there was this CRAZY storm tempesting that part of France. I've rarely - if ever - witnessed such torment. It was black as the night...

Have fun in Rome; GREAT city. We went there with my whole year when I was a junior in High School. 250 kids, 2 weeks of fun and partying. Such a good time! If you got the option, try going to Florence as well. Beautiful city

Developing a very old right now, don't remember all of what's on it since I finished it away at school and never got to process it. Pretty sure it has some surfing then some hiking stuff. And I forgot if it was 100 or 400 speed, I assumed 100 cause when I initially loaded it to go to the beach I'd imagine I picked 100 over 400.

I don't care for the 35mm format to spend any more than the bare minimum on it. If I wanted a rangefinder I'd get a Mamiya 7.

I'm about to ditch 35mm. It's hard to get great scans, I don't print it anymore. I'll keep doing 120, but I kinda want one of those olympus pen cameras. I shoot mostly with my old canon s70 point and shoot now. I'm probably just gonna grab an s100, cause it looks awesome. The mirrorless things look cool, but the s100 fits in my pocket.

Home on break and finally picked up my last Canon prime to round off my set of lenses.

Tokina 17mm
Canon 35mm
Canon 55mm
Canon 85mm
Canon 135mm

Really happy with the setup, although the 135 is not very sharp at long focal lengths. With the 2x crop i very rarely use the 135 anyways

Next is a new tripod, that's a long ways down the road though

From what landis said, they work great. They seem easy to adapt, they are cheap, and work well.

yep! one 20 dollar adapter for the Tokina and another 20 dollar adapter for all the canon lenses. Super sharp lenses and the weight of the old metal lenses is really nice with the super light gh2

lets start a list of curly film so that people know not to ever buy it.
I'll start:

Ilford HP5- I've developed a deep hatred for this film solely because of his unmanageable curliness..

I've had like every film ever get curly and be totally flat, it's seemingly random for me. There's gotta be a way to dry them and get them totally flat without making marks and whatever. This time they're concave like a skateboard, but other times they'll want to curl up into a circle. I've got them under text books for now.

I've found that if I weigh the end down when drying it and drying it very well there's no problems with curl.

field prod is the most under rated film company on here IMO. I fucking love their movies. They always have great soundtracks, great skiers, and the movie always tells a story. Not to mention, they film with REDs, which is always good to see from a filmakers point of view.

Because I can have a full 1080p window of my footage and still fit a timeline and clip viewer in the same layout, making it easy to edit at full res ;)
