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

For less than half the price I'd rather have an X100s.

The irony that I recently destroyed a role of delta 400 due to improper loading in the silly metal tank...

I really need to get out and shoot some stuff. I kind of feel like I have been wasting the rolls I have in my cameras right now.

Welp. Bought a new 1D charger for 87 shipped... So at least it wasn't as atrociously expensive as I first assumed.

Also, two new flashes on the way, so that's cool.

Do you have renters insurance or anything to cover any of that? I thought for the longest time renters insurance was stupid, but then you find out about all of the random shit it covers and it's actually pretty awesome.

Well, my dad's name is on the title of the car primarially so I can get discounted auto insurance AND so it falls under my parent's homeowners shit. I need to look into it and make a claim.

Stoked to win the NS X J Skis design contest. Hopefully they like it enough to put it on the run of skis.

Stoked my V600 wasn't actually broken. I literally waited 6 months before contacting Epson about it being broken. Partially because I really didn't want to see the pictures I've been taking since the beginning of the year, partially because I'm lazy. I send it to them and they provided me with a (free) 220-240V adapter. Everything's working just fine.

Also: my Pakon scanner is coming in the next two weeks. Then I can really start burning through all the rolls I've been saving up since January...

Super stoked!

That's about 280 rolls of lovely medium format (mostly slide) film. Just check out that insane amount of Velvia. Over 150 rolls of Velvia (mostly 100f, but also 20+ rolls of RVP and RVP100).

I'm selling most of it, only keeping what I really 'need'. Most of the Velvia 100f is being sold, as well as all the print film (except for the Portra). I'm adding a little margin on each roll and by the end I'll break even, leaving me with a lot of free film. Even after adding a margin, I'm still selling the film really cheaply (

I like it with the tree better. Protip: get a few more strobes going! It would have been nice if the one you have placed camera right was moved a bit more to the right and powered down, and then you had one camera left as well as behind the rail as a rim light

Thanks man, I definitely want to try some multiple strobe setups in the future! Right now I only have one and am a little low on money because my 40d died so if you know some cheap quality ones let me know through a message.

Awesome, congrats! I still find myself learning/relearning how to better operate mine to this day - it's tons of fun.

Speaking of Glidecams though, I'm putting together a piece about the automation (robotics, moving elements, etc.) of Michael Buble's live tour and just came across this shot. It most likely won't be in the final piece, but I'm STOKED on the shot itself. This is straight out of the camera, no digital stabilization.

Compass from NIMBUS INDEPENDENT on Vimeo.



Hoping that the series will meld skiing and art in a much more enjoyable and watchable fashion than Into The Mind did. With the Nimbus name, I'd imagine we will get exactly that and more.

Holy fuck, buying 40 rolls.
A bit more than $2 off Across 100, one of the best 100 speed BW film ever created imo.

They axed of a lot film in the beginning of this year but also redesigned the boxes for the ones they still produce.

Surely Velvia 50 and Provia are here to stay...

Kinda doubting that...



...although, I seriously feel like they should be available for large and medium format, since there's really no digital counterpart.

Anti-stoke:
I learned two things today. Never use a cheap plasticky tripod in cold weather, it will break. And make sure that you know you properly loaded a roll of film or else you might be shooting on nothing and wont realize until it only takes half a second to rewind your roll.

So after pushing it back a few times, I'm now taking in film orders if anyone is interested. B&W/C41 35mm dev and scan $10 + shipping, 3000x2000px scans, dip & dunk processing, and the knowledge there was probably a ski movie playing in the background during processing. Sample scans (click)
