It's a little bit orange, yeah. Also I would tone the blacks down a smidge, but that's just personal preference

So, I inherited a Polaroid Spectra 2 and like 5 rolls of film. Here's the problem: None of them come out. Are they that expired?

I think the power supply is built into the film packet so it's long since dead. Or something like that I forget. Me and Guido tore one open for inspection and screamed at it like chimps at the monolith.

You mean the exposed film popped out, but no image appeared? There should be an expiry date on the package.

TIL that Polaroid film contains batteries which power the camera and development. That's so loving.... weird. Oh well, looks like my only option now is horribly overpriced Impossible Project film.

If you would have preferred they could have never started the project and left you totally without anything at all. Well... unless you wanted to devote your own time, energy, and obvious chemical/engineering/manufacturing expertise plus start up cost in creating your own film.

8th-samurai posted:Snooted nearly on axis flash. Try using a speedlite on the hot shoe and setting the zoom as far as it will go while using a wide(ish) lens and you will get similar results. The effect can then be intensified in post with bumped contrast and some burning. Okay this is me being French but nearly on axis means straight on the subject flash? And zoom as far = the more mm I can zoom or the wider I can zoom?

xenilk posted:Okay this is me being French but nearly on axis means straight on the subject flash? And zoom as far = the more mm I can zoom or the wider I can zoom? On-Axis usually means that the flash is very close to the camera position, so that the flash is parallel or nearly parallel to the camera lens. This makes for harsh shadows an inch or so away from the subject on the background. Zooming the flash means to increase the mm. The way it was explained to me, if you set the flash at 50mm and the camera lens is 50mm, the 'beam' of the flash will cover the same area as the lens produces on the film/sensor. If you zoom the flash to 105mm and shoot at 35mm, the flash will only light an area of light way smaller than the frame, similar to the vignette effect in the Lohan pictures above. You could also visualize it as a group photo. If you were shooting with a 35mm lens, a flash set on 35mm will cover everyone in the photo, while 105mm will be like a spotlight on one or two people in the middle.

Just got my hands on a Zenit TTL for 12 euros, decent buy? Battery hatch is hosed but should be fine without it, right? Can I get a light meter for an Android or something instead, or should I just shoot wide open and just go 1/500 in decent daylight?

if the hardware on your phone is up to the task, you can definitely use an app for a light meter. Some phones (eg SGS-II) work up to ev16, my desire HD works to ev12. Not many phone light sensors go below ev4 or so, so they're a bit limiting when its really dark. None of them (that I've found) work as a flash meter though, and that'll be a hardware limitation rather than a software one, so no getting around it.

Not sure how fast your lens is but 1/500 wide open will probably overexpose a bit in daylight unless you're using very slow film. The general rule for daylight is 1/ISO speed and f/16. Regardless, $12 is a pretty good deal for any SLR with a lens thrown in.

I just got my camera stuff today (Sony a33, minolta 50/1.7 and 28-105), so I went out and took a couple of quick photos. The ones I took with the 50mm came out with a rainbow line that goes diagonally across the frame. What is this called, and how can I control it? All of these were taken around 5PM and are unedited Example 1, facing southwest  Example 2, facing south

Help a photographer from out of town was given my name and asked me to assist on a shoot and asked what my assisting rate is! I've never been an official "assistant" on a shoot, so I don't know what a standard rate is. $100 or so?

Giving him/her a lump-sum rate on something as vague as "morning to early afternoon" is a good way to find yourself $150 richer after working 7am to 2pm. I'd suggest a per-hour rate, maybe $50, but put a minimum on what you get paid, something like $150.

Same as every camera that doesn't need batteries. Batteries only power the meter.

So I'm a beginner photographer. I've had my D5100 for about a year now and I mainly take action shots of my friends stunt riding their motorcycles. I've been asked by one of their sponsors to go to a big show next week and take pictures for them. I'm not getting paid or anything, but I want to do a good job. Here is a sample of the types of images that were captured last year : http://www.summernationals.com/011imageviewer013.html I don't want to toot my own horn, but I'm fairly confident that I can do much better than that. I currently have the 18-55 kit lens, a 35/1.8 and a 55-200/4-5.6 . I also have an SB-700 but I am completely clueless with flash stuff. I was considering renting a couple lenses for the weekend and was looking on some input as to which ones would suit me best for this type of event. I'm eyeballing the 70-200/2.8 and maybe a 10.5/2.8 for some real close stuff. I figure that with my 35 prime should be a decent combo. Any thoughts or advice?

Here is a sample of the types of images that were captured last year : I'm guessing you shot shutter speed priority here. I personally would have gone manual (... I always shoot manual), the shots are very inconsistent. 10.5mm is REALLY WIDE. Please present the photos in a thumbnail gallery or something, it's very annoying having to go one by one. Some photos are not rotated.
