Figured I would make a thread here and post my random pictures. I originally got into photography around 2006, and traveled around the country taking pictures at professional paintball events for a few years.

 

Camera Body : Canon 6d and Canon EOS 3 (film)

Lens : Canon 24-105 f4 L, Sigma 35 1.4 ART

all these san fran pics are making me miss san fran! visited a few times and horrible weather but very interesting city.

 

Really? Been beautiful the last 10 months I've lived here. It's rained only like 2-3 times, which I guess is technically terrible lol.

 

Unless you mean cold and foggy, then yea that happens during the summer.

i still have a canon ae-1 program I used for multiple photography classes in college. I do enjoy some darkroom work although many times I was more frustrated than happy lol. I will never miss trying to burn in skys to look not blown out but not unnatural at the horizons.

Lol, it is usually always clear. The fog rolls in early during the "summer" though.

 

I'm trying to get a good fog picture, but it is always clear :P I try to stop at least once a week

A lot less fog in the "winter". Temperatures mid 50's-mid 60's during the day

Took a work trip and turned it into a roadtrip back home. Started in Prineville, Oregon > Crater Lake > Crescent City > down the coast to Fort Bragg > cut across home to SF

Canon ae-1 program : 2 rolls of kodak 400tx, 1 roll of ilford 3200, and one roll of ektar 100 pushed to 400 (accident, forgot to switch the iso after using the kodak 400tx)

 

Contax t2 : 4 rolls of portra 400

Ha, the ae-1 is an amazing camera. I learned to shoot with one before i went digital, did all my own prints but only processed black and white. I have contemplated getting a film scanner and shooting only film again but it feels like a hassle now with all the stuff required for your own darkroom vs just uploading imgs into lightroom.

 

Best part about the ae-1, have you checked out how cheeeeeaaaaap the lenses are?

it's funny when you can see a difference in a film image and a digital. Not saying either is better, but they both have different qualities. Kinda like how people say you can see a leica image with enough experience looking at them. I found a film conversion presets set for lightroom and it turned out to be pretty decent for black and white here. http://www.andreruiter.nl/kodak-film-presets-for-lightroom/

 

I will say film grain is 1000000x more appealing than digital noise though. I actually enjoy some grainy film.

Love these pictures. I found a Lecia AF-C1 at an estate sale. Got it for 50 bucks. I've taken some pics around the house with it and I'm excited to see how the images come out. I normally shoot with my Nikon D5200. I need to take a road trip like you did to just take some pics.

Oh yeah, big difference between film and digital. I think it is VSCO that makes a ton of film presets for lightroom. I have a pretty standard process now for my digital pics, so haven't used the VSCO presets. With the film shots I just leave them, don't do any retouch in lightroom.

 

Excited to see how the ilford delta 3200 b&w comes out

while kodak tri-x isn't exactly the most beautiful film to shoot bw with I developed a soft spot for it while learning lol. Used a few others but I got pretty consistent results with it using some chemistry that wasn't the best, but didn't smell toxic as all hell lol. Can't remember the name of it for the life of me but it smelled vanilla-y
