How far can you push it? (B&W film that is...)

Over the last year I've been playing around with a Holga and some other toy and antique cameras. Since you really can't control exposure with these cameras, you have to try to adjust the development of the negative to get a decent image. A few days ago I was shooting ISO 100 film with the 6x7.

RE: slide exposure?

An example of when you would override the meter is a situation like: A pastel water lily is floating in a pool of water that to the eye looks basically black. A significant amount of water will surround the water lily in the composition. The meter 'sees' the large dark area and will attempt to

This is the most beautiful flower shot I've seen in a long time. It's just SO natural looking. No nonsence, just great! Well done. Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt -Oprindelig meddelelse- Fra: Bruce Dayton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 14. februar 2005

Disaster cleaning CCD.

I have a tale of woe to tell: I have a scuba tank with a decant valve and hose that I thought would be ideal to clean my dusty *istD sensor with. I set the valve so that the air pressure from the hose sprayed what I thought was a soft and gentle stream, and proceeded to wave it over the sensor

Re: CCD cleaning

I've never had anything so stuck the sensor that the Sensor Brush didn't remove it, but then I've only used it a couple of times. In 18 months, I've had to clean my 10D sensor four times and I haven't cleaned the *ist DS sensor yet (six weeks ownership). Best things available? As far as I know. ;

RE: *istDS built-in flash overexposure problem

Yes, RTF = ReTractable Flash, I guess. I'd go and see the dealer, if I were you, Dave. Show him what happens! Did you do the test in a bright environment or in a dark place? Are you using fast, normal or depth programs (??) - or is this issue out of the question in Smart-Pic mode? I have now mad

RE: slide exposure?

Underexposing can make colors *appear* more saturated. It runs the risk of losing detail in shadows and darker areas, however. I've shot Velvia for quite a while (ISO 50) and always had good results shooting it as rated. Same with Provia. Example 1: http://pug.komkon.org/00febr/WoodenBoats.

Re: CCD cleaning

Can Sensor brush remove dust that is stuck hard to the sensor or you would have to go back to using eclipse for that ? I don't care so much about the price if it works good and it is reusable for multiple cleanings. Are these two product the best for this ? - Original Message - From: "

Re: CCD cleaning

I was using the Eclipse/sensor swab/pec pad cleaning rig for a while, but I find the Sensor Brush sold by Visible Dust to do a better job and it's a lot easier to use. Not cheap but worth it. http://www.visibledust.com/sensorbrush.htm Godfrey --- David Zaninovic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > W
