It is simple. You have to go down to the nearest truck stop and suck as many dicks as you can. When you sucked enough Sugar will appear to suck your dick and then he will tell you all the photography secrets.

>the frame counter on the side of the camera is broken

How?
It's just a window isn't it?

I would just waste a roll to experiment.

>>3120169
how do you know the frame counter is broken? did you try to roll the knob untill it automatically stops? Those old TLRs will often overlap frames by 1 or 2mm even the rolleiflex.

>>3120174
>>3120177
The little disk on the inside of the window that rotates and displays what frame you're on is stuck. It stands permanently on 'S', which stands for "start", I presume.

>did you try to roll the knob untill it automatically stops?
I've turned it perhaps ten rounds. What do you mean automatically stops? You mean when I've gone through the whole roll? I could do that and then just divide it by twelve, I guess.

Also, bonus gore. It's a picture of the suitcase I bought, looks like someone was throwing away their entire home darkroom. This was all included for the low-low price of £1

Looks like a bit of a steal op, nice day work. The streak is probably just cosmetic, I would just shoot a roll with it and find out. Be gentle with your camera, old cameras tend to break for no reason whatsoever

The mirror pentaprism is pressed down in place by a metal clamp and foam. After decades the foam turned into a sticky mush and the released compounds corrode the thin seam of the mirror coating, permanently destroying it. This seems to be worse in cameras kept in bad comditions - aside from replacing the prism (not difficult but needs a donor) or having the know-how to recoat it (wut) it's dead, Jim. Aside from an annoyance doesnt impact anything.

You should be more worried about the tiny viewfinder image coverage area messing up your framing. Check curtains for pinholes against a strong light and enjoy your barebones 1 quid slr.

Whatever is necessary to get the job done

Not trying to sound like a douche but take pictures of emotional things. It's easier said than done. You have to get out of your element in a way. Its hard to do just wandering around your home town. when I went to new Orleans to build houses for people who got fucked from Katrina I was able to capture what you are talking about. People would come to see what we were making for them or would come to see the finished home. It was so easy to do there. But I haven't really had that same chance. On vacation in other countries I sometimes get it with the locals. But you have to go out of your way is what I'm saying.

Timing and including people's faces, bright and big.

Oh, and don't use kids.

>>3119796
A scene has to have raw feeling for you to capture. You can't just create an emotional response taking pics of random shit. And since photography is considered a documentary medium (meaning some would consider it unethical to stage a scene) all you can do is seek it out in emotional places or hope you'll be lucky enough to stumble onto it.
For now you should focus on improving your technical skills (making pretty pictures) so that when the opportunity arises you don't squander it by taking terrible shots.

what?

Looks like you mean the color banding? Stop working with 8bit

fuck off

If the government didn't take the majority of my income, maybe it would be a DSLR. If I still had my GH3 you would complain about the sensor size.

>>3119172
Yeah don't lmao

I guess just load a high ISO or have very steady hands and be selective with your flash.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

>>3119172
lower your expectations

please excuse shitty quality of second image, it is my fault for being lazy when making the collage

for just having 2 weeks of experience id say thats pretty good, the reflection gives it away for me though.

props for not forgetting the color balancing and making sure the tonality of the whole image should be uniform, lots of newbies forget this and end up with a sky with blue tinted shadows, and a foreground with green tinted shadows

pic related is from 5 years ago. one of my first real big "conversions" with photoshop with like 2 months of just dicking around with the software

>>3118625
It's a start. The motion blur on the biker makes it difficult to cut him out the sky effectively, though

Do you guys think pentax 35mm macro limited is good choice comparing it to 35mm f24, especially since I'm not planning on using the macro feature.

should i buy a kit lens or fork over an extra $100 for f/2.8

>>3118383
Trying to decide between D3300 and A5000 for my first decent camera. Give me advantages of each one and what each camera is more appropriate for.

>>3118380
Not worth it.

Get a Ricoh GR II, RX100 IV/V or some other fairly useful camera.

>>3118381
Don't like the Ricoh gr. Pictures are too nice. To clean. Like that film look of the older ones.

>>3118382
If you like it then get it, who cares if you pay 25 dollars more or fewer than what someone else paid for it second hand years ago

I know developing film film is developing film, but what film lab delivers consistent and high-quality negatives, what lab develops the best. I scan my own negatives so I'm not worried about scans I just need to know what the cheapest and best film lab is for developing

I've had consistent and great results with The Darkroom.

Hasn't the Ektra been around for like two years now?
