    Tell Me What I'm Doing Wrong Focusing - Rate These Terrible Photos

    All good advice given above. What speed film are you using? I use Kodak Tri-X 400 and Kodak Portra 400 so I start off with higher shutter speeds and greater depth of field. Shoot some faster film, use a tripod while you are getting used to the equipment and we can take this a step at a time.

    Make a living selling NFTs?

    Along the same thinking: I have a number of original [aren't they all anyway] oil paintings in my home. Are they worth less now because they are not NFTs?

    Thought experiment: What if electronically controled cameras are actually no less reliable

    I never asked for the information. It is their job to do their work correctly and my job to produce great photographs. Their work has never resulted in my photograph being off enough to be noticed.

    Travel Camera - what have you found that works

    I thought that you had the wide Rollei, normal Rollei and tele Rollei and you wear all three around your neck when you go out photographing. Talk about Bling!

    Does filter quality matter?

    It is a good idea to have filter wenches in case a filter gets too attached. Besides the cost is low. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=filter%20wrench&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma

    Choosing a 6x6 system for renewed film shooting... opinions wanted.

    I have not had that happen with the Hasselblads and the Nikon AF SLRs only stop when out of film or the batteries are dead, both situations recoverable.

    Travel Camera - what have you found that works

    For most travel I take the 50mm and 80mm Hasselblad lenses or the SWC [38mm], the 50 and the 80mm lenses. If I am traveling by car I can load up all or almost all the lenses in a large backpack the take out specific lenses as I need them. Pentax Digital Spot Meter, the Sekonic L-308s as an...

    Let's talk about cataract surgery.....

    I asked my ophthalmologist to make me somewhat far sighted and I would use reading glasses. She said that she would and did set the implant for distance and yet allow me to read without reading glasses which has been good for close work with my nearsighted eye without any glasses or correction.

Further a list of places that will offer to buy the equipment at half the value such...

    Choosing a 6x6 system for renewed film shooting... opinions wanted.

    Yes, but up the nose is too close. Does one really need a close up of every zit? He had the 65mm, 80mm and the 250mm lenses.

    Vancouver BC Canada - (Photographic) Opportunities!

    I know perfectly clear weather blue skies pleasant weather. It is just so predictable and pleasant with fog when the weather goes from hot to cold or cold to hot for those who want the foggy atmosphere. Never too hot. Never too cold. Tough life but someone has to live it.

    Let's talk about cataract surgery.....

    According to my ophthalmologist said we all will get there assuming we live long enough. I needed one eye done. It is the easiest surgery you will have in that you will get up immediately being better than when you went in. I could have chosen the replacement lens better than Medicare would...

    Make a living selling NFTs?

    I can see the potential of BitCoin and it could become a fully accepted and part of economies or it could go bust. I tend to think it will become part of the economy. At this time I do not see the same level of acceptance with NFTs. It could go either way.

    NNOOOooooo! My Pentax K1000 SE meter died :(

    If one does not mind carrying an extra piece of equipment. Sometimes I use the built in meter and sometime I use a spot meter or an incident meter.

    Is film better for the truth?

    Just because it was done in the past, does not mean it is correct or proper to do now. For example using reductio ad absurdum with your logic slavery is honorable and proper today. The image on the film is the truth as written by the light as received on the film. Adding or deleting...
