shoot B&W and do it yourself, it's very easy and hella fun. The creation of the image from start to finish is very satisfying. Most of the process can be done in daylight, only thing requiring dark is getting film from canister onto reel into daylight tank. Can be done at night in a dark closet or you can even get a changing bag and do it all in the light.

^ 4th pic Jacob, nice, too bad the branch near your watermark shows red, either way, nice.

Thanks Cris. Yeah, when pixel peeping there's a lot more read cause in LR I only desaturated all the colors except for red. I can go back and fix it but I'm too lazy

crisone

^ I know exactly what you mean about fixing it, in PS, I'd have to select that area, then do this, then do that, yadda yadda yadda, haha….

damn J. you´re really getting better and better with every single post.
great eye you got mate…

Thanks Rafa, I really appreciate it :D! Where are your photos man?! I always look forward to seeing what you have in store.

Here's one from today, self-portrait but not sure if I'm liking the angle I'm at and I don't ever like seeing myself in pictures lol.

I made it large! (or tried to xD)

Beatle

really like the feel of the las portrait …

this… + the snowflakes makes it really special

Last one's ace! The natural light from the window is awesome and I really love those blacks. The black borders really underline the movie feel. And btw: while a lot of people here and on SuFu are not fans of those borders (yeah, I'm always lurking), I totally get where you are coming from, man. Props for sticking with it. I don't know if you have done that yet, but I'd love to see some really wide crops from you, like 2.35:1 cinemascope style.

I was typing the response and saw the snowflakes and I was like WTF! But It's pretty cool though, just took me by surprise!

Wow thanks a ton :)! Well I am sure a fan of that cinema looks and I think I'm improving every time I try, but I'm still not there yet! I edited this pic for you though, not sure if it works especially because the color is somewhat lost but even so I think it looks pretty cool.

Just uploaded a few more to flickr, from 2 days ago edited yesterday and the day before. I love this set probably the most out of my images.

And SUUUUUPEr wide

Finn666

great shots there Jacob.
the 2nd kitchen pic looks somewhat better to me and I really like the new set as well.

What lens were you using btw?

got another question:
I haven't searched for the answer yet but thought I might ask directly in here are there some L-zoom lenses or just with fix length?

thinking bout selling my lenses to cop THAT one lens…

loghill

The best L I have used is the 50/1.0 L. The bokeh is so creamy and yet it's sharp wide open.

Finn666

forgot to say that I'm shooting with a Nikon so yeah…would love to enjoy the a lens in the range of 16-55mm or something similar...

great pic btw!

derivative666

Finn Nikon's 17-55 2.8 DX is outstanding. It is Nikon's equivilant of a L lens.

Thanks Finn, I am using a 24mm f/1.4L. I'm selling it though to re-get my 50mm f/1.2L. I do miss that lens quite a bit.

As per L-zooms there are L zooms. If you see riffs fits over on sufu that's a 70-200 f/2.8L IS II. Probably one of the best lenses available. You could always switch to Canon ya know
