FD's Canon AE-1 (56k go fly a kite)

[flight doc89]

yep i'm really bored right now. i prolly wont touch this thread for a month after this but here goes. Some pics here may have been posted in the PotD thread, but i don't care, its my thread bitches.

8 second exposure

15 second exposure with some flare that probably came from another car driving down the road

25 second exposure

i accidentally spun the shutter speed to 1/30 (sync speed is 1/60)

1/125 sec exposure, Fuji Superia 1600, orange filter

same info as above

1/60th sec, Fuji Superia 1600, orange filter

Fuji Superia 1600, first without filter, next two with filter. Each shot at 1/60, 1/125, and 1/250 respectively.

a 12 year old kid took that of me.

a girl messing my camera took that of me as I tried to duck behind a buddy at the last second.

1/125 sec, Fuji Superia 400, orange filter.


Yep. I'm really bored. Now make fun of my transition from cowboy to suit.


All these shots were taken with a Canon 70-210 Macro/Zoom lens. I just (like this afternoon) got a 2x Teleconverter (aka a doubler) and a Vivitar 135mm F2.8 lens that i'll be using for the rest of my night/dark shots. I'm currently watching out for a decent automatic Canon flash so i can get my indoor shots to actually turn out right (in the 5 rolls i just developed, maybe 1/3 of the pics were worth a crap cuz i had the aperture set wrong on most of them.)
note to self: out of date Kodak film is not very forgiving of overexposure. Either way, i've temporarily given Kodak an 'up yours' in the color department (i like my B&W Kodaks) and bought me another roll of Fuji Superia 800 and a roll of Fuji Reala 100
That Fuji 1600 is a little grainy (even before the film scanner butchers it), but it picks up the greens very well. That '4th color layer' they hawk with the superia 800 and 1600 does seem to make a difference.

EDIT: gone back and put all my posts as quotes so that you can actually see the rest of the page. just click on a picture to expand it. Only the most recent post will be fullsized from now on.

Kodak T-Max 400, 1/60 sec.

Same as above.

I'm getting some new pictures of that filly tomorrow. she's only 3 months old now, but she's fuckin huge. Way bigger than these pics. She does nothing but run all day, every day. You walk out there, and she has to show off for you running figure eights and looping the pasture at top speed.

Very cool man. I also have an AE-1 but haven't used it since 02. I think it's pics still blow-up better than my Nikon D80..

 

[flight doc89]

D80.....I'm slightly jealous......but I'd actually rather have a Canon 30D. Sure it lacks the resolution of the D80, but I'm down for the 5 fps, and I can get a 30D with a lens for what the D80 costs. Plus the 30D is easier to handle.
That said, I can't wait for the Nikon D700 to hit the shelves. I won't be able to afford one, but I wanna play with one anyways.

Back to business:

Fuji Reala 100

Unless noted, still shots taken at 1/60th sec, blurred motion shots at 1/125th, and the slightly blurred shots taken at 1/250th.

1/30th second

1/30th second

1/15th second (freehanded). Was shooting for a little more depth of field, i guess I shoulda backed up farther.

1/30th second

Thats my puppy, Jackie.

I'm fairly pleased with this film. I think I need a UV filter, but it seemed to capture the colors very accurately (a little too accurately in some shots; that grass is looking like shit lol. Need more rain). Most of the problems i had were my fault (shoulda brought my tripod with me for one thing).

B&W photos will be back from the lab next week.

I have an oldschool Cannon A-1. It's an awesome camera. If I had a darkroom, I'd use it constantly. But I don't have access to the darkrooms I used to.

1/15th second (freehand bitches )(well, i was sitting down and rested my elbows on my knees for that one)
