Digital photography

I've got an adapter for my Mamiya lenses to fit my APS-C Canon on the way - 300mm MF lens should be something like 700mm equivalent which might be fun.

Interestingly, the Dune 2 film used a Helios for some stuff :

Very creepy. What's the idea with the mask design?

That’s bloody great

Thanks. They represent 'Faceless Bankers'.

Is that a Reliant Scimitar? Got a red one of those just down the road! Far cry from a robin!

Some backgarden birding + mooning. MF is tricky, but not impossible it seems.

I keep finding that my X100F overexposes skin, particularly faces. To the point when I pretty much have to keep it at -1 on the exposure compensation to get usable photos when I’m taking quick family snaps. And even then the rest of the shot is underexposed. Anyone else had this? Have I accidentally fucked with some setting deep in a menu somewhere?

I was at a woodland playground earlier with my kid and it was pretty gloomy. I had it at f4 and took a portrait on auto, with plenty of time to focus, and it was totally overexposed on the face at 1/125 on all 5 shots I took. I normally set the shutter myself doing street stuff but find that’s a faff for family shots when the kids are never stationary for long.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing :)

Few from the past couple of days.

Heading up to Edinburgh for a day in May - anyone got any recommendations of places to head to?
