Mike, it should be like a orange diamond, and there's like a diamond-shaped-double-image that moves with the focusing ring, once the image is aligned in the diamond...whatever you're looking at will be in focus, I'll scan the instruction booklet when I have the time.

[Carl]

I am now one of 12 people that get to submit a portfolio. Six of those people will be chosen to participate in an all expenses paid two-day shoot out in San Francisco. Person that wins the shoot-out gets 5 grand.

I got into photography last year solely because my dad got into and went nuts on equipment and what not. I've fallen in love with it and went nuts as well. These are just a few pics from the past month, just random stuff, too lazy to put up more

[mlproject]

Kiilsgaard?

that is one hell of a last name

and those last 2 photos by kierns are really great. the last one has a definite natural geographic feel to it.

[Carl]

Kierins - I really like the last one

Nashville Roller Derby...crappy light makes for crappy photos; here are the few salvageable ones.

Yashica T4

One of the better point and shoots made.

Equipped with a Carl Zeiss lens which is one of the better manufacturers of optics around. They are light, fairly durable, versatile, (were) inexpensive, and produce excellent image quality. They also have the coveted "spyscope" view finder, which, though not as cool as it sounds allows you to take pictures looking down through the top of the camera as well as the traditional method. Good for properly composing your perverse up the skirt snaps or what have you.

A used one in good condition will cost you between 2 and 5 bills depending.

I have one from right before they are discontinued and it was well worth it.

You've also heard about it because of Vice magazine, Terry Richardson, Ryan McGinley, and the whole new snap shot aesthetic shit a few years back.

Anymore questions, send em this way...

[aaronS]

yashica t4's are the poor mans contax t2 ahaha

i really like mine got it for about 50 on ebay. its the perfect take anywhere camera.

pretty much all the recent pictures in my blog are from a t4

thanks raised by wolves and aaron...everything i wanted to know yall answered.

[jeepster]

nice railway picture, looks so surreal, as for jeepster, lucky bastard you have the nicest backyard

the funny thing is that my backyard is considered small for the area i live in. its about 3 acres. i have a friend who has over 200 something odd acres of semi-farm land. its nice, but god damn, does it just go on forever.

it actually hasn't been as nice as that in the winter since i took those pictures.

[malsponge]

bolt images from a show in San Francisco. Fuji Superia 800 pushed to 3200, no flash. My first show I have photographed. It was such a hard show to shoot. Just a massive moving crowd right up to the drumset. Fucking awesome

Why do you get so much noise when you push the film alot? I would've though since it's open for less time you'd just get lots of black and only stuff with alot of light would show up. I guess i dont fully understand everything...

[Swych]

it's because the film is more sensitive to light, so any stray (read unwanted) bits of light also hit the film, and it is to easy to register. i dunno if that helps answer your question DUM. if you have less sensitive film that takes more effort to activate, you get better control therefore lower grain... does that make sense?

[Guest DUM]

Ah, alright...thanks!

[7south]

do the same rules apply for dSLR's? turn down the ISO to decrease the noise?

[Guest DUM]

^Yeah, I would think so.
