Photograph and Camera talk

[J-IV]

@weftyarn ahh thats plenty, honestly.

Rangefinders - I'd look into the Canonet QL series, Minolta Hi-Matic, and the Leica CL.

SLR - Olympus OM series, Nikon FM series (my fav is the FM2), and the Canone AE-1 program.

Let me know if you wanna chat more. Couldn't really recommend lenses as the price varies too much but I'm sure you'll find one to meet below your budget

[weftyarn]

@J-IV Excellent, thanks a ton mate! I’ll take a closer look when the weekend comes. Also I just realized my father may have saved one of his old Olympus cameras. As a German saying goes: „Manchmal sieht man den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht“ (sometimes you don’t see the forest because of the trees)

No problem posting these!

@Jett129 Did the guys get something worked out for you? So good to see your pics again

[Jett129]

@goosehd I have to think that they must have because I had zero problems posting these,and if that’s the case maybe reach out to Twin and let him know,as I’m sure it would make him happy.

These are awesome @Jett129
The water has that interesting yellowish color which which I really like. Much more pleasant to the eye than green water against a blue background if you know what I mean.

[Jett129]

@weftyarn These were taken early in the morning and the Sun was right in my face and lighting up the wave like that. Sometimes you can see the water behind the waves and it’s really sparkly. The pictures where the sky is blue are from later in the day.

@Jett129 Fantastic shot!

[Jett129]

Thank you,I was watching the guy,and I was definitely a little bit hesitant to take it. I only took 2,so this was the one.

@Jett129 Amazing pics and even better since they are local.

…the chunk of solid yellowish ‘ceiling’ of water is something else.
Ermmm, not that citizen of a land-locked country is much of a judge on sea water.

[Jett129]

@motojobobo Thank you. If the wave wasn't all around him then he'd have been a silhouette,and that's what accounts for that color. And instead of trying to minimize the yellow,when editing, I leaned into it.

Posting this so @weftyarn and @motojobobo can see what the lighting was like and why the wave had the yellowish color.
