I know I posted this in another thread, and pretty much just copied and pasted, but I figured its own thread would get more attention.

Ive been thinking about it, and

just recently made a NS photographers group.. I know almost everyone on

here has a flickr, and its kind of a pain to track and go through

everyone's photostream, so I made a group that everyone can post to so

easier to view everyone's work.

You can post anything to the group, it does not have to be skiing

related. So any of your old photo contest shots, or just personal

favorites, post em. I know that some people use Flickr as a hosting

site, as well as photostream, which is cool, but I ask that you only

post your best shots to the group, and not your memes or gear shots.

I think this could work if everyones down.. thoughts?

That seemed kind of dead, and was dominated by a few members up until Tomtoms recents uploads. It is also just strictly skiing related shots, whereas I would say the photogs on NS shoot more than just skiing.

Trust me, I did my research, and had I believed in that group I would of just made a thread promoting that.
 
I agree on that one, I've been holdin' back on normal shots just because everyone is posting action shots.
 
Awesome idea man, I joined. I'll add stuff to it sometime, especially as the season goes on.
 
Joined, although tbh I don't use my flickr much anymore.

There is another flickr NS group, but I'm not sure it's used often
 
I joined, although I don't get to shoot as much because I currently have no way of developing my film. There are two camera shops near my dorm but I need to ask how much they do color/bw 120/35mm for, and I gotta figure out a way around not being able to use the school darkroom since I don't have the class so I can develop it myself. I went in there and most the photos showed little knowledge more than a slow shutter speed blurs stuff.
 
Theres a couple ways around it, dont let any one other than the head of department tell you otherwise.

Find the highest up person you can find, ask to be a lab monitor. Usually it is volunteer work, or in some cases, minimum wage. Youll have to demonstrate you can make chems, develop film and prints, and keep shit organized.

If that does work, do the same as above except offer to pay the lab fee (likely around $70) this will work.

Dont just trust the labbie working, go find the lead professor, they will usually allow it as long as you know your shit and help contribute in some way.
 
Yeah I've been meaning to go to somebody higher up. I've already walked into the art department chair or somebody important's office once because I wanted to see a photo exhibition and the gallery mentor never showed up for the past three days. She was chill and was like, I'll just let you in and you can lock the door when you're done, no questions asked. Maybe she'll remember me.

I just don't wanna go in and explicitly state "I believe I should be able to use the darkroom, despite what the rules say, because I know what I am doing." Unless that's how it works? I do know how to print, have a bit of dodging and burning experience and I mix chemicals at my house all the time. I'll make sure to express my desire to learn more about darkroom techniques through experimentation, they probably love stuff like that... Although the word experimentation may=uses a lot of paper/resources, but I'd buy my own if necessary.

Try not to let this die people! Comment on what you like, start some discussions and such.
 
Yeah don't go in there with a cocky attitude, you are asking permission, but I can almost guarantee they will let you unless its a real stuck up program. Don't offer to be a labbie unless you have the skill set to be able to help others with everything, if you are still learning, it would be better for you to just offer to pay the fee.
 
Yeah I don't think I'd like to be a lab guy. In highschool I was the kid everybody asked for help, didn't mind teaching but I could definitely learn more. The teacher knew quite a bit about the darkroom, but I knew more about photoshop. So he'd ask for my opinion on how I do stuff during class. But in the darkroom, I'd show him a negative and he'd be like, 20 seconds at f8, then burn this part for 7 more seconds or something and it would come out perfect. I was like lol wut.
