Damn. You ever open social media and realize you’ve been a ghost for like 2 months? Whooooops

“Steady Sun” is now live on @SuperRare

Long exposures w/ Portra 400 🤌

@SlaterLemley @nev_in_color Dude that one with the seagulls is so damn good.

Took these with some awesome homies @nev_in_color and @peter_jeffrey_ here in OBX

@heswithfilm Dude what a view.

hello world

Searching for the angle vs finding the angle

@SlaterLemley 🙏🙏 haha good times man!

I got this shot but nobody shoots this building better than the man in the first photo @peter_jeffrey_ Please follow him you won’t regret it

@full_duplex Oh definitely. I think it speaks more to my workflow than the actual medium. I’ll typically take an iPhone video that I tweak right then to match what it really looks like, and when I get scans back try to match it to that.

@peter_jeffrey_ What if you adjust for the white balance?

Film vs. digital. Colors are craaaazy different.

@alyc_writes @toomanycameras Interesting, why couldn’t you learn exposure on digital? Or was it the fact that film essentially forced you to?

I’m curious who is new to photography and is starting off on film? 🧐

@kailebcarr Same! Personally I think learning to compose took much longer than learning the digital camera and the exposure triangle.

@peter_jeffrey_ Been shooting since 2020. Learned on digital, and now mainly film. I definitely believe there are advantages to learning on digital first. Just something about the analog I love.

@RyanYero Yeah, I think that’s quickly becoming a theme - digital cameras are just inherently much more complicated, especially to someone new. I’m not sure I would have continued if I started on film. Even after years of digital, I remember my first roll of film (400h). Hot garbage.

@toomanycameras Throw in the forgiveness of color negative and a lab scan and you’ve significantly reduced the issues of metering.

@toomanycameras Huh yeah, I mean you’re right. It is a load to pick up. Throw editing on top of it, and it’s significantly compounded.

@toomanycameras I’m curious if learning on something like a Fuji XT2, which is set up like a film SLR, would have changed that perspective.

@OfficialNateG Y’all are nuts! This is where I think a digital camera helps to learn really quickly. Full manual with instant feedback on digital is such a quick ramp up.

@peter_jeffrey_ I actually started on film back in 2016 when I got some old family hand-me-down cams. I get the idea of having multiple attempts, but being forced to learn how a camera works early on was huge for me, also having to actually think through the photos instead of just spraying

@toomanycameras This is mind blowing. I couldn’t imagine trying to learn to meter AND compose with the right light all at once.
