Film Tips...
Yes that can be done, but for the whole roll, not just one image (sorry, not trying to be insulting, but what works in digital, doesn't always work with film).

buying from online stores
I've used B&H, Adorama and Amazon.com and have been satisfied with all three.

Glasses and a Optical Viewfinder
tk wrote:
I have been having trouble going manual with the fact that my shots don't seem focused. I have bifocals and now I wonder if I am looking through the proper place in the lens of my glasses to see the shot through the eyepiece of the camera. Is this possible?


I wear bifocals and quickly learned to look through the top part of the lens-the part for distance view. Have no problem using a viewfinder because it's what I grew up using.

When does it end?
When new equipment is no longer made or we are too feeble to lift a camera?

Do you share your equipment?
I have a back up camera that I occasionally loan to co-workers when I can't cover an event. It's a simple 5MP point and shoot, adequate for the job, and so far there have been no problems about it coming back in the same condition it left.

Point and shoot camera or hand held monsters have created the live view disaster of people who never got use to using viewfinders and thus cameras with out them but real photographers use view finders and people new to digital now must be content with cell phone technology than has no viewfinders.


actualy by that logic REAL REAL PHOTOGRAPHERS coat glass plates with light sensitive chemicals and use view style cameras just like matthew brady. they ignore that fad "film:

No, we should go even further back to the daguerreotype process! Sorry, just kidding, but I do love my viewfinder. Camera seems unsteady when looking at the LCD.

I was on a location the other day with a friend shooting birds. I am snapping away and all I hear from him is @#%$^&^&*(!!! I asked what was wrong and he remarked he could not see in his LCD well enough to shoot with the sun to our backs. I said use the view finder. You guessed it, was none.

If you are going to do studio shooting only that is fine but for outdoor shooting I normally only use the viewfinder and wouldn't buy a camera with-out one.

I much prefer the viewfinder to the LCD - camera feels steadier, image is clear no matter what the ambient light, and, of course as a long time amateur I've always had cameras with viewfinders (except very long ago using a Speed Graphic press camera for copy work when the ground glass screen was used for close focusing).

Thats why I shot slides. You had to get it in the camera. No P.P. You were good or junk is what you got ! :thumbup: :thumbdown:


Shooting slide film separated the men from the boys. Even after going digital, I still try to get it right in the camera first. It's easy to set the camera on auto and rambo the heck out a subject. At times I find myself doing that but then I stop and remind myself I'm better than that.


Or the girls from women.

Photo Paper
Jmarkohio wrote:
What is the best kind of paper to print photos on other than photo paper?


I've used artist's watercolor paper which I had to cut to size. This paper comes in a variety of finishes from very smooth to fairly rough (textured). The paper itself is very stable. A print I made on this was accepted in a juried exhibit.

I started taking pictures in the navy with a Kodak Instamatic 110. (Remember flash cubes?) I really enjoyed it and continued from there. My first SLR was an Olympus OM-1.


Yes, actually I do remember flash cubes. Fun memories.. 8-)


The old 110 that I used to have years ago had flash cubes to it. What a pain back then. Sure easier now.


I remember other people using flash cubes, but I never did. One of us is from the Permian Period, the other from the Jurassic.

My dad started my interest in photography. He had an old Agfa camera. I forgot what model it was but I used to marvel at his old pictures when I was young (and still do). He taught me the basics of photography and now it has become one of my greatest passions in life. My dad used to say that there is a difference between a camera person and a photographer. A camera person will take pictures and have them processed by someone else. A photographer on the other hand will know and perform everything in photography.

There are 3 other people I'd like to mention. Two of them were my photography teachers in college - Professor M. A. Beg and Professor Charles Simmons and the 3rd one is my wife. These people has always encouraged me and inspired me to keep photography an integral part of my life.

I would love to read who or what had inspired you to become a photographer - professionally or as a hobby.

When I was an elementary school student (1940s), probably 2nd or 3rd grade, once a year my father sent me to school with his camera, an Ansco folding camera, to take pictures of my classmates. A few years later, I got my first camera, a Kodak box camera and a home darkroom set so that my sister and I could develop film and make contact prints. Saved money for several years and bought my first 35mm camera in high school. Interest lapsed in college, but picked up later with a Pentax K1000. And digital has spurred new interest although still haven't been able to justify the cost of a DSLR.

:-D don't like saying it, but it is true. And mine is the left eye. Try being left eyed and right handed in the service. Still shot right handed and sited with the left eye.

Never in the service, but as a left eyed, right handed person, my father gave up on trying to teach me to shoot and suggested that I just hit the attacker with the gun!

When this is fully open, how is your reception?

If put it on my hot shoe, and it acts like a GPS. Connected to my cell phone, I get FM, but not AM.

I have a pack of flash bulbs, and I'm tempted to try some shots with my DSLR, but I don't want to waste the bulbs. No telling when I might need them.


And there in your photo is the trusty Pentax 35mm, a true work horse camera. Still have mine, just waiting for the right photo shoot.
