@brookshanks But, y'know, if you wanna be all ponies all the time, that's cool, too.
-
@brookshanks It's the opposite here. The accepted norm is about 80% ponies, 20% other things.
-
@celestiaforequestria Birds and aquatic mammals. Things like beavers, otters, platypus. Hippos.
-
@brookshanks It's like twitter but ponies are mandatory.
-
@gear Oh, no, haha. I wouldn't want to risk my exposures to something like that. When I shoot, I really want to see those shots, I'm not going to take any chances losing them. I buy Ilford film, it's expensive at ten bucks a pop, but down the line, I can definitely see myself buying some cheaper film, something that's like $8 for three rolls, and trying out some of those developing methods.
-
@gingersnap Haha, not really. X-370 is just a model number of the camera. 50mm refers to the focal length, which means how much 'zoom' the camera has. The caveat with focal length is that the longer the 'zoom' (the higher the number), the narrower the field of view. So something like 25mm is going to have a really wide field of view, whereas a 300mm lens is going to have a narrow field of view. The 'f number' refers to how wide the opening at the end of the lens is. It's read as f/x (f = focal length, x = aperture), so f divided by x, but represented as f#. If you have a f1.8 on a 50mm lens, it means the opening at the end of the lens is 28mm. The higher the f number, the narrower the opening, and the less light that gets in, and it changes how the light is refracted. The higher the refraction, the wider your depth of field (area of focus). So f1.8 let's in lots of light, shorter exposure, but narrow depth of field. f22 doesn't let in a lot of light, wide depth of field, long exposure

@gear You mean making my own chemicals from scratch, or developing at home? Right now I'm looking into making my own developers and fixers, 'cause I shoot really really high iso, and I'd like a developer with more acutance (acutance refers to fineness of the film grain) than what's readily available on the market. But I develop at home on a regular basis.
-
@gingersnap Yeah d00d, all the black and white pictures on my photo site (http://www.photo.doctormowinckel.com/) were taken with a Minolta X-370 I picked for $20, the pictures were taken with the lens it came with too, a Rokkor 50mm f1.8. Those don't look bad for a camera that cost $20! They're super grainy, but that's a result of the type of film I shoot with.
-
@gingersnap Go film, man. You can buy an old 35mm SLR body dirt cheap, and a lot of the lenses are just as cheap. You can buy a good camera, a few good lenses, and what you need to develop with $150. You don't need a darkroom to develop, either. Google developing film without a darkroom to learn all about that.

@scribus If I brush my teeth without flossing I feel dirty, like I cheated on my mouth.
-
@gingersnap When you're setting up a shot you can only get in a specific time frame, you should really do the math ahead of time. If you know what your f-stop and focal length should be, you can set up so much faster, and have more time to take more shots with different compositions when you're in the field.
-
@celestiaforequestria IGNORE WHAT I JUST SAID! I mathed wrong. I forgot to change the f-stop, I was calculating at f4.0. Let's assume you have a 50mm lens that can be stopped down to f/18, and set your focus distance to 25ft, then things from 12.5 feet out will be in focus. f22 would you give you focus from 10 feet out to infinity with the focus distance at 20 feet, but you'd definitely need a long exposure, and seeing as the moon's luminous would lose all of it's detail. So if you want the moon to be in focus, and detailed, definitely going to need two exposures.
-
@celestiaforequestria Well, if you're shooting at infinite focus, which you'd need for the moon, with a 50mm lens, the near focus would start at 100 feet out, so Luna wouldn't be very big. At something longer, like 150mm, the focus starts at about 1000 feet, which even less ideal than 100 feet. I'd keep a dark background, and do multiple exposures. Do a shot with Luna in focus, a shot with the moon in the background, then do that post processing thing you're always on about to mash 'em together into one shot.
-
@celestiaforequestria Ooh, should do some Luna photo shoots during the next full moon! It just passed, so you'd have some time to think about location and framing.
-
@beckowl Looking at pictures of ponies, talking with people about ponies, and watching episodes about ponies I've already seen. Sometimes I'll work or take pictures, but for the most part, a lot of ponies.
-
@celestiaforequestria Looks pretty good, d00d. How much light was there when you took it?
-
AJ x Luna? That's new! And awesome http://crappyunicorn.deviantart.com/art/apples-and-moons-217390742

Who knows anything about the science of developing film? I understand that when two light photons hit a silver halide, the silver halide then becomes a silver atom, put billions of these in a layer of a gelatin and put it on a film base and you have your light sensitive film. But when you develop the film, the developer will remove the silver halides that haven't deposited a silver atom, but if that's all it does, why isn't the processing time constant? Is it the longer you process, the more silver halide is removed, but ...how could that work if the film's no longer light sensitive? Does the fixer stop the silver halide from being light sensitive? Is it the more silver halide is removed during developing the brighter the image gets, and it's the lack of silver halide that makes the silver atoms appear larger, which is why push processing creates a grainer image? I really don't know and I am confused.

@theowl That chick's not your average seamstress. She's a pro, for sure, check out her DA page http://whittykitty.deviantart.com/gallery/. If you want to make cash doing what she's doing, it'll take a lot work and practice.

@stumperman07 All I play is Medic. You know the achievement 'Head of the Class', play a complete round with every class? Four years, and I'm 1/9. Never played a full round with anyone but Medic.
-
@stumperman07 My record was 13 assists in one life, in about 90 seconds. Me and that Heavy tore bananas up, hard. It was awesome. I was about five seconds away from a second Über, too. If I had gotten that off, it would have been amazing. Probably 17+ assists.

I have been tasked with making pizza this weekend. I know the pizza is going to have chicken, but it needs something else. What do ya all think compliments chicken on pizza?
-
@calvindapanda That sounds awesome. If I lived around there I would totally go.

@calvindapanda Meat and Meet? Define this 'meat' part of this meet?

Lately, I've been wanting to pick up the drums. Might look into a cheap electronic drum kit.
