Photograph and Camera talk

@dylantbmayes Oh crap. It was supposed to be hp5. Yeah it's a brilliant film. Although I haven't shot much b&w, I've been reading rave reviews about them. I think I was thinking of something else when I typed hp4. This was shot using the lomo lca+. My first roll back around 2007/8 was badly underexposed. So i used the lomo as a precaution first before I try it on my canon AE 1
-
Of course! HP5 400… probably where the 4 came from. Ilford Delta 3200 is another great B&W.

hahaha i think i was looking at bmw hp4 race bikes. the hp4 is always on my mind, hence why i may have typed that subconsciously. yeah the 3200 is amazing, but i'd be a wee bit unwilling to pay for such high iso film when 400 does the trick and you could push the iso up to 800 or even 1600..

I use point-and-shoot cameras. Haven't tried 'hacking' film yet so I'll stick to just buying film in bulk… get those prices down haha
-
hahah please get kodachrome prices down for me then
well my lomo lca is very much a point and shoot in a sense that the aperature and shutter speed cannot be manually adjusted. however, there's an option to dictate the iso which in turn dictates the light meter settings. by pushing over the iso rating the film is on, i've read that the ilford films can easily handle beyond it's iso rating and shoot grainier and brighter images without the risk of underexposing..
-
that's nice. i've always wanted to shoot with the bigger lenses to get a different views in a city. but it's a PIA to carry about..
-
Yeah Louis I hear you. The whole appeal for me of the 300PF is that is is barely bigger than the 24-70. The more portable, the more use it gets.
oh. didn't realise that. not sure the different weight between canon and nikon's same lens. but my everyday is a f2.8 24-70L lens. as it is, it's heavy enough..

This year I've managed to do a lot of travelling for work, taking my point-and-shoot film camera with me.
Most of the subject matter wouldn't appeal to IH members (maybe?) but if you are curious check out my Instagram, (www.instagram.com/dylantbmayes).
Here are some photos that you might find interesting…
Any guess what this place is?

Seul, you are too good!
Yes, I have been working on the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland.
-
so grainy. so nice.

Thanks, @louisbosco. Ilford Delta 3200!

Im looking for a recommendation for a camera. it would be my first camera that isnt a standard point and shoot. im interested in photography as a hobby. i would use it to photograph my family and birds, wildlife etc. i would like a camera that i would have to learn to use effectively. i dotn know if that makes any sense. i may take a continuing ed photography class as well

I'd go for some second hand Nikon equipment. You can pick up really good deals as new stuff supersedes the older models. Don't know your budget but if you want to shoot wildlife have a look at the DX range of bodies which will extend the focal range of your lenses. I started with a D300, 17-55, and lots of old manual lenses…
. Shot this using a 100-400 lens.
