What type of pp do you do to your photos. I've been messing around with the levels and saturation on my photos to see what works best.

Here's some more from the trip.

is there a tutorial on how to give my pics that old film look?

Anyone here still shooting film? I picked up a Minolta Maxxum 7 (incredible camera btw, ergonomics are top-notch) a couple of weeks ago just to mess aroundwith. I use negative film, Kodak Tri-x 400 for B-W and Fuji Superia 400 for color. Might pick up a roll of slide film (Velvia) to mess around with.

It's all in the curves. Layer > New adjustment layer > Curves

Play with the Red / Green / Blue settings. Not "RGB" got to each color, and play with the curves.

QUESTION: I have a Nikon N80, which is a typical SLR camera that takes pictures with film. I was wondering if there is a way for me to transfer the picturesfrom the film onto a disc or something so I could edit it on Photoshop. Or is scanning the only option?

Also, what films would you guys recommend for beginners?

I think scannning the negatives or slides would be the only way.

I'm a beginner myself, but Fuji Superia is a pretty good all-around, inexpensive color negative film. Kodak Portra is (VC or NC) also good, albeit moreexpensive. You can try Fuji Velvia for color slide film.

For traditional black-and-white, you can't go wrong wih Kodak Tri-x and Ilford HP5. But you have to find a place near you that still processes traditionalBW film. For chromogenic film BW, I just bought a couple of rolls of Kodak BW400CN. I heard Ilford XP2 Super is good too.

C&C please

dope vid santi but thats a really harsh cut at 0:18 from the blur to car pulling out, IMO you should have went from out of focus to in focus to make thetransition smoother.

if youre developing them through cvs or something, ask to have them on a disc and then youll be able to see them digitally. or, find somewherethat has a negative scanner (i use the one at my school), thats the best way but it does take time (you need to cut the negatives in PS and all that).

Alright guys, this will be my first SLR camera and I'm having a tough time choosing between the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS or the Nikon D60.

Which one you guys prefer or which is better?

It comes down to personal preference. The XSi is a bit more updated and has a few features over the D60, but the image quality wont differ much.Go to the store, and try both of them out.
