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

I like it! looks nice and clean!, would like to see some more photos on the front page though, maybe little slideshow and maybe some littler ones when you scroll down. It is nice though, simple and easy to navigate, nice work

Just got in a butload of T-Max I bought from a photo store that went out of business.
This is what my freezer looks like now. I've also got bunch more at my parents house (100ft roll of Fomapan 400, couple rolls of 400cn, some Velvia, some T-Max 400, some more Acros)

Well then you can hope the snow doesn't melt out here at the feature we're going to hit so he can get back to you sooner rather than later. I'm driving 12 hours to film one feature. It's kind of epic.

A Leica is a beautiful, small, simple gracious camera - pretty much everything the Leica CL isn't...

I would absolutely argue against this... It's smaller, lighter, and just as simple as a Leica M. It's at heart, what Oskar Barnack sought out to make. CL stands for 'compact Leica' anyways - which is what a Leica is supposed to be - a small ass camera that takes kick ass photos.

Compare it to the big honking Leica M5 which it nearly KILLED due to it's popularity.. Leica had to stop putting their names on the CL's just to make the M cameras something people would still buy... so then Minolta came out with the CLE that was like 2 decades ahead of the M7 which it basically was a smaller version of. haha.

The cl didn't nearly kill the m5, the m5 nearly killed leica with it's terrible sales, so they released the m4-2.

The cl is cool I guess, pretty ugly though. If you can't afford a leica might as well get a hexar RF, which I've actually been thinking about getting one for it's 1/4000 top shutter.

Hexar RF's are pretty expensive. The difference between that and a Leica is MUCH smaller than that and a 'real' Leica.
I'd get an old Bessa if I couldn't afford a Leica.

For 50-150$ more you can get a lower-end Leica.

A Bessa is 300$ish.

It gets written off because its f5.6, but honestly I rarely shoot higher than f8 anyway. It's incredibly sharp. Seeing it in full rez I can see insane amounts of detail; in fact on the roll from this morning's trip I can see contours of the moon on the negative. We'll see how it turns out.

I'm not sure if I told you before, but with Bronica lenses the S lenses are pretty much indistinguishable from the PS lenses when it comes to long focal lengths. The PS coating becomes noticeable with wide angles, however.

Only difference is that the PS lenses are newer, so the shutter will last longer

Finally sent out my second portfolio today. I've applied for Sheridan college's Animation program... It's ridiculously competitive and I know for a fact that my portfolio is lacking in a few areas... mainly because I waited until the last 2 weeks to even start it. I applied for illustration as a back-up, but I half-assed that one because it's less competitive. Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and I'm really behind on these other courses I'm taking at the art college I'm already at because I've been working on getting these portfolios done... maaaahhhhh. Now that it's finally over I can sleep I guess.

Also sending out my application to cook in MHSSC's kitchen this summer... It would be amazing if I got the job.

Pandysloo what school are you going to?

Wow that's great, my sister's friend's father was the CFO of Barclay's Canada. He made an insane amount of money. If you get through it I'm sure you'll be sailing along quite nicely...

Yeah, and while the M5 was selling horribly, the CL was selling like mad because it was affordable, super light, compact, and kicked ass because it used M glass. I don't personally think it's ugly. I think it looks rather sleek like a big rollei 35. That boxy 70's/80's style. Kinda like it.

Either way, Leica ending the CL that sold well when their top camera couldn't sell is pretty dumb business.
