i mostly like taking pictures of landscapes and food.
The most recent one:[URL=https://i.imgur.com/l2404IF.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/l2404IF.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
got an olympus digital camera (OMD EM10-II) and taking it on walks...still learning but it's made me pay attention to my surroundings much more when I walk. I hope to keep it up and improve my skills over time. I love how the birds line up on the power lines and make strange patterns, they remind me of notes on a musical grid :)
Got some holiday roles back. Trying to improve this year and note what settings I'm shooting instead of forgetting and getting bad pictures back and not knowing what went wrong or good photos and not knowing how to replicate. Expired Superia goes hard, damn I need more…
@“FaulteredBeast”#p148021 nice shots! I started writing down all the shots I take in a notebook so I know what happened too. Sometimes I'm like… what film was this? Who knows what happened? Now I have a detailed list. Was able to do some cool stuff.
@"connrrr"#p148857 These are great! What colors on that construction shot.
Finally had an excuse to take a camera out of the house with me a couple weeks ago.
This is Washington summed up in a few photos, for me. This is my home right here.
Although my New Years goal has been to shoot a roll of film each week I barely shot any film in January. Mostly due to the cold and my preferred cold weather cameras being broken. The Canonet QL17 I picked up in November did an admirable job capturing the holidays but the sticky shutter finally stuck shut. Disassembled it tonight, shooting snappy and instantly now. Eager to get some rolls thru it stat (taking it to the ski hill tmrw!). I have a backlog of broken film cameras to work thru and hoping to make headway on a few this weekend.
I’m hoping to document my projects in the kitchen and indoors this year. If anyone has any tips for taking film photos of food or indoors / opinions on cheap digital cameras for those subjects that’d be swell! I love my film cameras but thinking an old CCD digital camera paired with vintage glass may be a better option for reliable indoors photos to augment the film.
I got myself a “real” camera for the first time on Black Friday. I was kind of hoping to use it get nicer photos from traveling. But the funny thing is that wide-ish angle shots in the daytime (what I thought I’d use it for) are where modern phones are at their most capable, and the camera doesn’t look better because it doesn’t have the same automatic processing! But I started using it for birding, and my phone can’t do this! So that’s how I got this new hobby on accident. The problem now is that I need to see more birds. I see this guy every day and take his picture a little too often!
@“BluntForceMama”#p151425 I ran into this same problem. I don't want to go color correct that ultra blue sky that my camera decided was entirely white when my phone can blast it all together no problem. Birding is a nice choice, good shots!
Got a point and shoot film camera as a gift. Its small size allows me to carry it in a jacket pocket. I started going on walks daily in the afternoon in order to take pictures, and I noticed that my walks are getting longer and longer, and now I walk everywhere with this little camera. I love that I can do two things I love at the same time, and one enhances the other.
In a probably futile attempt at making time slow down (it passes by too fast for my liking), I've been trying to document more of my day to day life, and photography has been a way to do that that I genuinely love doing. I don't mind that the pictures are not of anything very interesting. At the same time though, it's made me realize how many things one might not notice about the area where they live.
When I came to the US I found it very interesting that they sold flowers at gas stations. Unsure if this is a regional thing. But I am wondering if there is a stigma against buying gas station flowers vs. flower shop flowers? The ones I've bought from this place look pretty good, but I don't know much about flowers.
Here are some photos taken with my GR III today. I challenged myself to take some photos on my push bike ride home from work today. The first photo is of this hoarder house I always drive past on my way home. I desperately wanted to share their amazing pile of pots near the letterbox, truly wondrous.
