Ah damn. That makes it tougher. I know my camera meter is ceter weighted so I will use it as a spot meter and put the center of the viewfinder on different parts of my frame to pick an exposure.
Like Troy mentioned about erring on the high side - film generally handles overexposure better than underexposure. (For example - In the first two the sky is bright but still looks great, on a digital camera the colors might get messed up)
Oh hell ya
The zone system is my go to when I’m shooting on my c330.
@pearcebarr here is some examples of where I metered to help you see what I mean
The zone system is an epic tool once you understand it. Here is basically the description of how to find each zone. More or less it’s what your meter is doing for you. It’s just understanding where to compromise.
Sunny 16. I always over expose film by at least 1/3 usually 1/2 stop.
Some SOOC shots from my Ricoh GRIIIX this week using the Royal Supra recipe
I love this little camera
Would love to see some of the shots you ended up getting with this
I’ll drop a couple below that I have handy on my phone, but I will say, while I do love the 16-55, it still doesn’t beat out my primes when I want a specific focal length. Like I’ve done some testing between this and my 56 1.2 and the prime wins all day every day. That being said, for a single lens do-it-all, the 16-55 is pretty incredible.
I love my prime lenses but I’ve eyeballed that 16-55 quite often for the appeal of having that range in a single lens for travel when I’m already toting lots of gear.
Yeah, I haven’t had a chance to travel with it much, yet, but I know that’ll be where it shines. We’re heading to Seattle in September and I’m looking forward to shooting a lot of stuff with it then.
That full frame 24-70/aps-c 16-55 range is always hard to beat in run and gun, especially in a tournament setting or something where you can’t move around a lot. But I agree when it’s just for fun out with buddies and I have more room to move around, primes all day.
Makes it feel like more of an adventure. Yeah I see this photo in my head but I need to go jog 25 yards real quick to get the framing right.
Wanted to post some shots of Fireworks i made this year. I shoot them every year at my family house in Lake Arrowhead. I usually shoot from a deck at the house overlooking the lake, but this year i shot down on the dock/pier, which i usually avoid because of the movement. This year i embraced it. Shot with a longer lens (Sigma 100-400) stopped down to f20 and exposed anywhere from 15-25 seconds.
Some SOOC shots from Santa Monica a week ago with my x100vi
Also here is your reminder to always bring your camera when you go to a MLB game. I believe all the ballparks will let you bring a camera in. And I just brought my 85 and cropped whenever I needed to make the photo
Surgery was successful. First test roll through my Konica IIIa with Fuji 400. I’m seriously blown away at how sharp this lens is. Curious how it’ll do with a finer grain film stock like porta 160. Been super fun to shoot though and I snagged it on eBay for super cheap!
SICK
Every day for the last three weeks you’ve been coming in here and you’ve been asking me how the tuna is. Now, it was crappy yesterday, it was crappy the day before and guess what? It hasn’t changed.
Wow! Those are truly excellent!
I especially love the composition of the seventh photo (the vertical one capturing your subject holding their follow through directly underneath a mountain).
Thank you! Much appreciated!
