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

Just went down to the Lomography store in SF. Decided to buy some Redscale film to put through the Hass in SF last weekend. We'll see how it turns out.

maybe hipster photography, yeah...

they sell a shitload of toy cameras like the Diana and Holga and shit. No camera they sell is worth a damn for taking ACTUAL photos... that's for sure.

So bright right now.

thought the back for my rb67 was broken, it jammed and then the film winder would swing freely. I heard it was really hard to work on and much cheaper to buy another. Just being curious (and broke) I decided to take it apart. I found a copy of the service manual for another model, but they were relatively similar. I got it apart, was able to find the problem (ratchet slipped off gear when I forced it a little after I thought it jammed), got it all back together, and it works. Took a few shots, trying to finish off the roll tomorrow after class

I just got a 7d. Not necessarily because I thought my t2i wasn't good enough. I am just waaaaay more comfortable with the build of the 7d so I wanted to get rid of the t2i before I broke it or got it too wet.

Your seriously complaining about sensor dust, dude, try shooting film, and then come back here and complain about your little minuscule specs of dust!

Dirty sensors are way more of a bitch than film dust. +1 for film.

Finished my first freelance project for my university and from it's acceptance it appears that more work will be lining up. I'm stoked to be earning money again and working with a client who has relatively "deep" pockets. Also, there's only a handful of us on the list for them to choose from so that increases the opportunities as well!

Good.

Just ordered this monster, it will finish a roll of 36 exposures in 4 sec, which is the only thing that matters.

got one off FM with about 20k clicks for 1350.
I'm either going to keep my t2i for fisheye (the opteka is for aps-c sensor cams only), 60p and the reach that a crop body provides
OR
Sell my t2i and fisheye and buy a canon 15mm fish

on another note, just decided to split from hood early and take a drive through some scenic parts of the country. The list so far consists of crater lake, redwood forests, San Francisco, Yosemite, Vegas and the Grand Canyon before heading back to CO.

Good call.. the 7 is so fucking boss... that with a 43mm is probably the most portable/best landscape cam ever. The build quality and price just suck balls

Quality isn't THAT bad, sure it's plastic so it won't be as rugged as my leica, but when it gets taken out of a bag and then put back in, I'm sure it will be fine. I've never gotten to see one in person though, have you? I'm wondering how the VF is. And ya getting the 43mm is a must, all I want to do is shoot that with provia/velvia and a cpl
