where you shopping? they're like $559 at Blacks, + 15% is just under $650.

My bad, i meant with memory card. i went to futureshop, it was $589.99, and the memory card was like 49.99 for a 4GB plus a stupid product replacement planthat was $40 bucks. regardless though the difference between $350 and $589 minus tax is still alot to me.

How did you do first picture with a blurry background? Is that photoshopped? I been trying to do that but no luck...

and I'm also using a Canon S5 IS.

 

[termanology27]

I used b&w film for these.
Comments & Suggestions please?

^Well scanning the film is a lot better than scanning the printed images. And I take it thats what you've done. Otherwise the focus is kind of soft on someof them, that might be result of how you scanned them. Otherwise i would say push the contrast a little more in all but the first two. And generally they seema bit dark but again might because the scanning. Compositionally I would say the first two are the most interesting, they actually might have bit too muchcontrast and definitely too dark. The others I'm sort of at a loss as to really their subject/significance.

Also dust your scans, if you have photoshop it's quite an easy task.



gHeTtOnOyPi, that photograph with the pot, dude just shortened the depth of focus, i.e. lower f-stop. You probably need an slr or dslr to have any real successdoing it...

 

[termanology27]

Thanks for the advice. The prints are much brighter in person, and dust spots are from when i scanned them.
The other photographs we had to shoot nature, still life, and motion.
Thanks for your help.

 

[ebayologist]

^I know thats what the dust is from... You can remove them in photoshop with the healing brush. But yeah, it would help a lot too just scan the negative. Butno problem...

I enjoy looking at film a lot more so post whenever I'll try and give you feedback relatively timely.

I realize the camera is probably manual focus but you gotta work on getting the focus sharp, most of those 50mm primes on manual slr's are perfectly sharplenses.

 

[termanology27]

Yeah I understand. I took these photographs last minute for a final portfolio due tomorrow.
I was using a very old 35mm, and haven't used film in years. It's my 1st semester taking the class so I'm still learning.
Still deciding if I should do another semester of film or go more into digital.

Yeah, i think macro or even the super-macro mode on the S5 IS should make the background blurry, or maybe mess with your aperture settings. I cant wait touse S5... sitting under the tree right now.
