gently caress Disney. This is a cool win.

edit: For MCU fans, there's seemingly nothing upcoming that would really need Spider-man. Meanwhile, there's still two Tom Holland Spider-Man movies on the slate and in the works, plus several tangential Spider-man movies like Venom 2 and Kraven The Hunter. Again, Sony comes up and Disney loses.

I think it would be really funny if Sony starts a new Spider-Man series so we have a fourth guy playing the character. I don't really know how all this poo poo works, so if Disney wants to use Tom Holland as Spider-Man again in an Avengers movie or something that isn't a solo Spider-Man story do they have to get Sony's permission or is it only required if movie is specifcally Spider-Man.

They would have to negotiate rights like they did for Civil War + the Home* films.

Basically Sony owns the rights to make a film SpiderMan, and the associated characters like Kraven, Vulture, Shocker, Betty Brandt, etc.

So no, Aunt May can't swing by Avengers 4: Assemble! Because Marvel doesn't own those film rights to the character.

I've been taking pictures lately to try and learn how to take pictures good and of course I'm using film because I'm an idiot. So anyway the place that I gte my film and prints from mails out the film to get the negatives developed and then prints them onsite from scans they do of said negatives. My issues is that I'm not entirely satisfied with the look of the prints. So I decided to see if going to do them at Walgreens would get a better result, because if it did then it would definitively asnwer my question about whether or not the usual place kind of sucks. So I go in and talk to the girl at the photo counter and said "Do you do prints from negatives on site if I brought them in?". So her response was "What's a negative?".

You can only get prints of digital images at Walgreens now, they got rid of all their film equipment. Hell, if you bring film in to be developed they now mail it somewhere and won't give you the negatives back.

Where do you send your film now? I'll ask my dad where he used to send his (he develops at home now, but that only works if you have a good scanner).

I go to the last camera store in my area clinging to life. They mail out the film to develop the negatives and then those come back and they make prints from digital scans of the negatives. I was wondering if Walgreens had a scanner for that purpose but seeing as the girl working there didn't know what film is I'm going to guess they don't have enough customers asking for that service to have the machines. I'd like to set up a small darkroom but that's probably a lot more expensive than what I can afford right now and I'm not sure how to work out the logistics of actually putting it together. So that's a thing for the far flung future.

You don't need a full dark room for just film negatives, development is way cheaper than paying someone else. A good film scanner would be the expensive bit.

For development you need some plastic jugs, a dark bag, and development cylinders plus like 20 bucks of chemicals.

Oh I was talking a full on dark room to develop the film and make prints. I was considering doing what you're talking about though. The guy at the store even suggested it one day. It would certainly make the turn around time on the pictures much faster.

I sorta figured, but if you can afford the scanner developing film and scanning it is a very good solution for your current problem, and you can even get the prints of your scans from Walgreens within a couple hours of you scanning them (Costco and FedExKinkos also offer quick printing I think, if you have one of those near you).

Someone suggested shooting digital to improve composition, depth of field, etc which I think is a good idea. That said, I reckon you could find cheap used darkroom stuff on eBay or similar. Developing isn’t much fun but printing is terrific.

What kind of scanner does this and what is the price range on something like that?

DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR!

I find that using film forces you to think a little harder about the picture. Considering how new I am to this I already have a decent grasp on some of these things. It helps that the camera I use lets you see what the depth of field will look like before you snap a picture. It also tells you what shutter speed you should be using with whatever aperture setting you've chosen. I'm sure those aren't super unique features but they sure are handy. I have a regular rear end scanner here and if I can motivate myself to do it during the day I'll post some of the pictures I've taken.

edit: I know it probably makes more sense to gently caress around with a DSLR first, but I'm a stubborn autistic weirdo. If I wasn't I wouldn't be bothering with film at all.

I'm pretty sure I paid less than 200 a decade ago, but make sure you get the film holders too or can find them cheap, you can't just lay film on it flat.

My dad uses the 750 model which is more expensive.

For stills, it's fine either way. You're right in that it can make you think a bit more about composing and such before taking the photo, but digital has a heap of convenience benefits that have made it the standard. When film was in that ground of being cheaper to begin with than digital, it was great, and there was also still a market for high-end, niche film that had a distinctive look that digital couldn't replicate. Now, it's not so much, and while it still has some aesthetic boons that digital can't do, I'd say it's hardly ideal to learn on because the investment of time and money is exponentially more than digital.

Digital is fine to learn on, especially with RAW manipulation, as long as you pay attention. Don't just jam on sliders, use Lightroom and pay attention to what affects other parametres. That's probably the biggest fall of a lot of modern photographers; they know how to get the end result they want through digital manipulation, but don't know how to enunciate it or achieve it outside of a preset. Learning the programs is as much a vital skillset as learning the camera, and once you've got a handle on the equivalent terms that are interchangable between film and digital, you're 90% of the way there.

Still, film is fun as hell so enjoy it!

I actually have a really good Konica Minolta film scanner in a box in my storage unit, with a film holder. I haven't used it in a decade, but I can dig it out and see if it still works; if it does, I'd be happy to ship it, since I haven't shot on film since 2008 or so.
