RichieP_MechE Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Any of you folks have experience with medium format? I'm getting the bug to shoot on film again. I bought a 4x5 view camera and a really nice scanner a few years ago, but the view camera has pretty much been sitting on the shelf since I don't have a good means to set up a darkroom at home to develop sheet film. Medium format is attractive because it still has a large image size, while being more convenient, aka easier to carry around than a view and I can send of the rolls of film to get developed easily (I guess I could develop at home, but still the thought of having to get everything in place to do it seems like a hassle for something I may not do that often). I've been cruising ebay for the past couple days, a modular 6x6 like a Hassleblad or Bronica strikes my fancy the most, though there are some other cool cameras from Fujifilm and Mamiya. Just curious about opinions from anyone who's used any medium format camera before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoodyBluesKeys Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I had a Bronica once, about 45 years ago. Bronica wide angle lens and bought a non Bronica normal lens. At the time I did have a darkroom, for B&W (I did develop a couple of rolls of 35 mm Etkachrome once). Today, IWould much prefer a high res DSLR, but I have not kept up with the market, a 2-1/4x2-1/4 might be affordable now. To me, the real magic in pictures is enhanced by the control of a darkroom or computer processing after the exposure is made. All I have is a Nikon point & shoot, with good res and zoom, but it exceeds my present camera-fu. I did like the larger format. Also had the baby Speed Graphic with both sheet film and 120 roll film.

The 6x6/2-1/4x2/1/4 film camera prices are reasonable now. Something like a Bronica you can get for a few hundred bucks, an older Mamiya 6x7 or 6x4.5. Hasselblads are more expensive, seem to be going for around $800-$900 for 500 C series. I'm leaning towards a Hasselblad right now as they still make them so there are plenty of parts available if I ever need to make a repair. Medium format digital backs are still outrageously expensive. I'm taking the hybrid approach here - shooting on film then making hi-res scans of the negative to edit on the computer. I don't have any experience with medium format. What do you want to shoot with it? Everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightbg Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 About 6 pages back I uploaded a still of my neighborhood shot from my quadcopter in daylight hours. I decided to see what a nighttime shot would look like, and this is the result: http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL96/792815/1412465/410531548.jpg It's actually facing away from Casio headquarters simply because nobody in that direction had any Christmas lights out.......yet. I'll try again soon. Once again, no photographic talent, just combining one hobby with another to get a different perspective.

xKnuckles Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 This seems rather good.... Aviary iPad photo editing app - which is free of charge - is giving away ALL of its in app purchases FREE between now and early January. You will need an Adobe ID (which costs nothing if you do not already have one) All features & add ons will then be free - total value over $100! I have not used it yet but it looks very good and gets all 5 star ratings..... Aviary app "Turn your fingers into a dust rag and keep them keys clean!"

Brettymike Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 We've had a few "pirate" ships over the years , but they were useless , too scared to say anything "wrong" over the airwaves in case they were blown out of the water. One was sunk with explosives when it came into port once , I kid you not. Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieP_MechE Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Nicely captured, Mike. We've had a lot of dreary foggy weather around this area as well Here is something a little different for me, a bit of "studio" photography. I don't have a legit lighting setup so it took a while to get this shot, but it came out good enough for not really knowing what I was doing. This is a gift I made for a friend who just had their first child. Rocking Cat by rpantaleo, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenElevenShadows Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 This always seemed like a holiday photo to me. This is a long exposure star trails photo taken at night in Joshua Tree National Park on a very cold night in the California desert, showing the celestial movements around the North Star as we see it here on earth.

KenElevenShadows Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Thanks, Mike!!!!!! I shot this a little more than a year ago with a D7000/Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. I had a great time shooting this and the other photos. I did, however, forget my tripod. I know, how can a photographer do that? But I did. I keep a back-up tripod in my car, however, and at the time, this was my Dad's old 1970s Sears tripod, which got rather cold as the night wore on since it was around freezing. I got a lot of really good shots on this trip, though, so it was all good. And I had a really special feeling while shooting a lot of these during the holiday weekend, and really wanted to convey that sort of feeling in this star trails photo.

RABid Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Going off in a tangent, what are some favorite how to photography books. I'm looking for books on composition and specialized skills. My favorite set of books so far is the Photo Workshop series. This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
