^ Gorgeous.

Had some crazy weather and got over to our football field for a couple of shots. I forgot my tripod so I had to ghetto rig things to set the camera on.

I realized that AFTER I had gotten up there, lol. The top was covered with a cement floor though, so I think I was safe.

thats basically all i ever use. i can get pictures to come out better with film and untouched then when i use digital and touch them up.

where do buy film, and what black and white film do you prefer?

 

[The ManLaw]

I buy my film off of amazon.com actually haha. they store the film I use in their PA warehouse and being in MD, it's all next day shipping usually if they have it in stock. Once I managed to buy all but 2 rolls I could find in the country lol. Kodak BW400CN Professional ISO 400 is the film I use for B&W, it's a really high quality film for being able to be printed at any one hour processing place. I'm quite happy with it actually saying I dont have a black room I can use anymore.

Another one of my films, also untouched

I took a picture of my mom's puppy. It was kind of hard to get her to stay still long enough to take a decent shot. That and she hates cameras. A lot.

Your shutter speed is too slow for all but the steadiest hands.

The rule of thumb is you want your shutter speed to be no slower than the reciprocal of your focal length.

IE;
Focal length: 24mm
Shutter speed: faster than 1/24

Focal length: 50mm
Shutter speed: faster than 1/50

subspeed6 satisfied that rule of thumb for the second and third pictures that are actually showing me the EXIF. I think his problem was that he is shooting a moving target in a dark space with a slow lens. (For example ISO3200 F4 1/20 @ 24mm on the last picture)

I know every time I try and take pictures of my dog she runs at me which makes it more difficult.

Thanks, I am trying out a few rolls of that as we speak. Local shop also recommended Kodak Tri-X 400 (400TX) so i picked up a roll of that too.

Thanks for the tips! I will keep that in mind for the future.

She is difficult to shoot as she was constantly moving. I would go to take a shot and she would start barking and running away. However, you are right that it was a dark room with 1 lamp to light it and I was using the stock lens that came with my D5100 for those shots.

Composition's not great, but the shelf cloud more than makes up for it.
