Are you a Betta breeder?

I was looking into breeding Bettas to get the more interesting looking fish but it sounds really difficult.

Or do you just take pictures of fish?

Does anyone have any experience with shooting with a Minolta SRT- SCII? I just received mine yesterday from a friend.

Looks like a standard SLR to me. Pretty straight-forward.

Do you want color or black & white?

my favs are kodak 400UC or 160NC

and trix-400 for black and white.

I agree with marsa, but if you want something a bit cheaper, superia 400 does the job. I like to shoot super 800 or 200 as well, the 800 is a bit grainy, but who doesnt love grain

[marsa]

how could i forget???????

superia 800 is the shit - for low light no flash induced scenes that is.

screw buying cheap film in bulk

buy nice film and shoot more selectively

right now i use tri-x and ilford hp5 plus

still looking for my favourite colour film

[candidate]

thanks for the advice everyone. i think i may buy a range of cheap films. 160 400 and 800. i think im gonna go for superia as it seems cheap but please suggest more.

prof - i usually buy portra but the thing is im going to india for a few months and i want to shoot just film. i can't afford to buy like 100 rolls of portra.

[belgaux]

shooting selectively might work for some, but to me it is wrong to limit yourself. if you feel like taking a photo then you should always do it no matter what. also - I think superia fits shooting in Asia better than portra, depending on what kind of photographs of course.

these are shot on superia in asia, last year:

[TOY5AUCE]

love the colors, slow film yeh?

u ever try longer exposures with teh fuji?

[candidate]

belgaux - details on those shots? iso, camera etc cheers

[belgaux]

toy5auce - havent really shot 'long' exposures, just down to 1/8.

candidate - I dont really remember, but I think they are all superia 200, as it was basically the only film I could find there. theyre shot on a Nikon F3 and a 28mm lens.

[nocoolonesleft]

I shoot the hell out of everything with my DSLR and then if i find something really special I use my my medium format. Film is too expensive to waste

[wmmk]

Some of you guys are really good. All of these are with the old 4MP 1D.

Awesome! (10)

Does anyone have any experience with shooting with a Minolta SRT- SCII? I just received mine yesterday from a friend.

I shoot with a minolta srt 201. its just a manual slr with a light meter. nothing special. i assume thats what that is. try wikipedia for model numbers, and theres also a site: http://www.butkus.org/chinon/minolta/minolta_srt_sc-ii/minolta_srt_sc-ii.htm

where you can find manuals for many cameras.

[rockon99]

From a roll i developed. finally processed one correctly. it feels really nice when you know that you did all the work. just a good feeling. haha

Should probably crop this one down..

thanks.

Rockon: was your b&w roll developed standardly and exposed normally?

[marsa]

continuing the stupid selfportraits thing.- vibskov mustache balaclava.

[rockon99]

Rockon: was your b&w roll developed standardly and exposed normally?

^^ yep - exposed correctly, but bracketed a stop high and low for most of the shots just in case. developed as per the time on the inside of the film box. i think delta 100 is like, 11 seconds in the solution i use. i forget what its called. too much beer. hahhhhh

edittttt: i just finished a roll of Delta 400. i've only shot that like, once before. -people have good experiences with that film? i hear it has really even contrast and good tones and stuff. gonna develop it tomorrow.

[candidate]

just picked up one of these for a few pounds. can't wait to see what it can do. apparently it's super sharp.
