Eye-level's Area 52
- Thread starter Eye-level
- Start date
Let these snaps above be a reminder to you that when one picks up a camera, and really just about any camera film or digital or whatever, that it is not going to be the equipment that makes the snap, it is the photographer.
With these I tried to stay what I felt was around 5 feet from my subjects and I set the distance ring on 5 feet and sort of shot. I was trying to be a little quicker on the snap. Using available light I ran into wide apertures trying to keep the shutter speed around 125. One problem was the 200 speed film indoors 400 would have helped with the aperture and DOF a whole stop. So the result is although I am improving at getting down to the subjects eyelevel I am still having problems with focus and a little bit of a problem with exposure in general and exposure for effect both.

I have been shooting tons of film this past month but I just haven't processed any of it. I am getting the hankering to break back out the digital camera however. So here is an old shot that I was playing around with earlier. Lots of cooking going on with this one but I still think it is kind of interesting.

I agree I think the images from the server are a bit better too.
Thanks for the feedback all.
The server and domain cost about 30 bucks for 90 days...server is like 7 bucks per month. So for 7 bucks per month anyone can be able to host their snaps anywhere with their own bandwidth. The quality is better and I think there is a little more control over it.
Makes me want to build my own website just to host pictures. I hate photobucket and I don't like flickr to much either in terms of photo hosting.

Server looks the way to go. I may look at creating my own webpage in the future, they don't look too hard lol.
Loving your pics by the way.
