@celestiaforequestria http://www.lytro.com/cameras Check it out. It's really really cool.

@celestiaforequestria Yeah, frames are the expensive part of selling prints. Paper's not cheap, either. 50 sheets of 11x14 will set you back about $120 and a real frame with a mat will be somewhere between $30 and 50. That's for 11x14, if you want to do something like 20x24 the paper's about $10 a piece, and a frame with a mat would have to be custom made. Suggestions? Be careful, haha, 'cause you can spend a lot, fast.

@celestiaforequestria Say, have you read about that light-field camera?

@celestiaforequestria You can print piles of inkjet stuff at your friends' houses and their parents will think that their ink is dried-up and needs replacing, anyway. Getting those copies out into the world is the priority. Inkjet is just over-priced and slow and more like crayons where pencils and laser printers use cheap toner and are rarely color, but they are very fast and very sharp detail. You will never see a problem with a Jpeg until you edit it and try to save it as a Jpeg. The cheap cameras actually do the compression, so that disliking the blocky artifacts of Jpegs is like saying that Rarity's choice for your outfit needs to be about 20% cooler. There is no such thing. The Joint Photographic Engineers' Group got tired of us sending so many details over the wire and showed us how to abbreviate. I forgot something, but it is going to have to wait. I am really going, now.

@celestiaforequestria indeed. PNG for line-art, JPEG for real-world stuff. PNG for photos is just wasteful.

@celestiaforequestria Rubber mats. The backing can be done with poster board or whatever, but the money in the matting is big, seamless rectangles of mat like you would use in the floorboard in the auto. It is all about appearances, though. It serves no actual purpose besides looking pretty and hiding the wall-safe, so you could make it from snot and match-sticks if you make it artsy enough... And treat the customer like they are morons, and they will treat you like an equal.

@celestiaforequestria Charting the photons is photography. Yes. That is cool, modern still life, though it seems to move. GIFs are like the crappy print in the newspaper and on cereal boxes where you can see the individual dots. Inkjet printers aren't too much better, but lasers are awesome. Jpegs are really scratchy when you look really close, but they are not bad, but they are only cool if you have a $20 spy-camera like or a $60 camcorder for your keychain or a builtin camera on your Teddy and your laptop that you get an app for and use like a mirror. K. Everything is broken-up and dances with the Doors in my head. I have to go. Thank you for dazzling me with your pretty blinken lights, though.

@celestiaforequestria Yeah, there's a name for that, but I don't remember what it's called, that sort of...thing where it...you make a rotatey shot. Help me out here! I like prints, too. I'm looking to invest in an enlarger so I can start making prints of my negatives. And sell some prints. As much as I dislike Hipstamatic, hipsters freakin' love black and white photography. If you were selling them a totally analogue enlarged black and white print, they would eat that up.

@celestiaforequestria There's nothing wrong with digital. Film isn't better than digital, and digital isn't better than film. Film has that film charm, when you shoot and develop it, it takes photography from just clicking a shutter to an event. My cameras are all manual focus (though not all film cameras are manual focus, read about the Canon 1V to get an idea of how nutty autofocus can get), I have to advance the shutter, load the film, take it out. I know my product is tangible, what I shoot is real, it's not just 1s and 0s. I can see it, touch it, feel it. I don't take pictures, I make pictures, I like that, how tangible it is. I like black and white 'cause I like timeless things. Timeless music (orchestral, jazz, solo piano), timeless fashion, and black and white is timeless. Photograph a well dressed man at a piano in black and white and placing the time era becomes difficult. And it sounds like you wanna get into Lomography or Holga photography, google 'em.

@celestiaforequestria The only post I do is futzing with the contrast a bit 'cause negative scanners like to blowout the highlights. And those shots were really really grainy 'cause I push processed them to 6400 iso. I metered at 3200, but I knew they were really really low light shots, so I pushed 'em to 6400. Film's a lot of fun, but expensive. Rolls of film are $10 a pop anymore, and you burn through 36 shots a lot quicker than you think. Or you burn 32 shots and you're like 'son of a bananas I really wanna take four more pictures so I can develop this thing!' I've never tried light painting, but I think that's 'cause I black and white film photography and light painting don't really get along.

@celestiaforequestria Minolta SRT-101, Minolta X-370, and a Minolta X-700. I shoot with Ilford 125, 400 and 3200 and pictars are at http://www.photo.doctormowinckel.com/ The shots of yours that don't have a lot of post processing (which isn't my thing [What? A film guy who doesn't like post processing? Do go on!]) have some really good framing, some good stuff in there, d00d.

@celestiaforequestria Yup. Join in? What cameras do you have? Got a link to a portfolio?
