Just to give point of reference I know virtually no one who develops their own color film. It's quite complicated and high sensitive so even Ileave that to someone who that's all they do... But b/w film you can develop yourself for probably what ends up being about a $1 a roll for 35mm beside thecost of reels and a tank which arent that expensive but anyhow...

I honestly now think that megapixels don't mean @%@% if you don't know how to use the camera.

My-T.

They are called HDR rendering (High Dynamic Range). You basically take different exposure shots of the object (High, low and at 0)and combine them. I usea program called Photomatix to combine and adjust the pictures. Then touch them up a little in photoshop.
 
I've been wondering, when you guys do the thing where you write your name with a light or something with the long exposure, what do you use for the light?

Sometime tomorrow or maybe friday I'm going to do alittle dropping of knowledge persay alittle SLR:101. I've explained f-stopsshutterspeeds various other things to a number of different people via messages, aim, etc... in varying amounts of detail and I think it would be helpful if Ijust put it out there all at once just the whole thing, so look for that and we'll go from there... Because as much as i like helping people with somethingthat was taught to me at point aswell explaining it over and over is tiring so I'll make end all be all tutorial of sorts that people can reference thatwhen they need/want to figure out how their SLR works etc.. and if you have specific questions after that that's fine but nonetheless...

^ Photoshop (the later version anyway - I think from CS2 up) has a HDR facility. IMO it's not very good though - I've had poor results when I'vetried.

Photomatix is much better.
 
alright, I'm still new to all of this, I understand exposure and all that, but how do I take a pic at a high exposure, low exposure, and at 0? do I justchange the f-stop on my camera??? thanks
 
He means exposing for the highlights i.e. whites and lowlights i.e. shadows and then just a general exposure. With film depending on the iso you shoot youprobably don't need to do that. just scan it for the highs, lows, and just an even general one. Argueably the biggest advantage of film is its contrastrange and takes a huge dump on even the best of digital sensors...

But ideally in bracketing (which is what he talking about doing) raburns is correct you want to adjust the shutterspeed but you can reality do either thef-stop or the shutterspeed. most people would have hard time determining a huge difference between probably what amounts to at most full f-stop or maybe oneand half f-stops... But if you expose the frame well with like day light film (like iso320 or 400 or lower) in most situations you shouldn't need toactually bracket the shot, just bracket the scan of the negative.
 
raburns, ebayologist thanks a lot on the tips. my last roll of film came back today, I'm HIGHLY disappointed b/c of 36 frames, only 19 exposed, and ofthose only 7 are worth showing, but I am improving, so I'm happy about that. I'm getting used to the camera. Here's my current camera:
