This are some pictures I took with my analog cameras over the past years, some of New Zealand, others from Japan, two or three from a trip I did to Berlin and the first three are from Mayrhofen
 
Is this on film, if so what's your setup. Very impressive!

definitely been thinking about how being a filmer influences my photos - clearly i am not good at taking vertically oriented images.

thanks so much. yeah i only shoot film really these days. i have a canon elan 7 with the shitty plastic canon 1.8 50mm because it is just so light and i can feel okay about beating the shit out of it. i don't develop my own film but i scan it myself at home to 3600dpi TIF files, i will do minor temperature changes and tone adjustments. the home scanning to me is the most important step here with film...

film stocks for those photos:

1, 9, 10, 11 - kodak portra 400

2, 3 - kodak gold 200

4, 5 - kodak ektar 100

6, 8 - kodak ektachrome 100

7 - ilford fp4 plus 125

Sweet! I normally shoot digital with my sony a7II but i've been meaning to get into film photography as well.

it's awesome and very rewarding. fully replaced my desire to shoot anything digitally (no disrespect for digital tho) and i think it made me a lot better at visualizing for taking photos. i would recommend trying it out especially if you are nearby to a local film lab where you can have your negatives developed and scanned. it is an ongoing investment because you always need to buy more film and process it, but honestly it is not that spendy per shot. a roll of 36 shots will last me anywhere from 5 days to 3 months.

Your photos have really come a long way since you started posting em on here. Good work dude!

probably because 8 or 9 years ago or whenever I was posting shit, I would just post whatever shit i took recently rather than my actual good work.

It blows my mind whenever I go back and look at my work from that long ago and remember what i thought was good.

Yeah. Its even more mindblowing when I find some absolute gems in the trashheap of .TIFF files I have from those days of shooting on that brick that was my original Canon 1Ds.
 
Had to put together tear sheets for some job applications and I really liked how this assignment came together.

1003420.jpeg

also feel like I should include this one (the secondary photo not the DOM) because it is kind of a career milestone and all that.

1003421.jpeg

Not sure if there are any other PJs on here or if people care about tear sheets, but I guess they are cool to me, especially with so much of what I do never getting printed at all anymore.

wait you got into the NYT?? that is excellent

Wasn’t an assignment for them, but still cool. They licensed a couple photos from an assignment I shot for a local paper (it pays to hold onto your copyright when you can). NYT picked up the story the next week when the county’s new covid case numbers per capita were third in the world.

it’s definitely wild to think that a million people got a printed copy of a photo I took on the front of their Sunday paper. Also interesting how much better their page designer’s crop makes the photo look compared to the original.

No, its extremely cool... Thats a resume item you could totally throw in.. casually 'published in NYT' nbd. ;P

But yeah, NYT is for sale around the world in print form, man... people in London and Paris and Moscow, and Sydney, and Tokyo were seeing your photo.

Congrats dude, that's epic!

Pretty happy with these that I took on an overnight ski trip in Rogers pass last weekend. Im especially stoked on the first one. I haven’t shot a lot of landscapes and am also just starting to shoot raw and learning how to edit. Definitely makes a huge difference.

the first one is actually my least favourite! The 2nd one is real nice though. Dig the shadows.

Met someone amazing and took her on a hike. We were seeing a crazy amount of shooting stars that night. It was the Eta Aquirid shower. I can really recommend taking off the 13th August for the Perseid meteor shower. 89 meteors/h is one hell of a show.
 
Had some weird light the other day and decided to learn the new PS color correction wheels that I hated in c1 and every other program that has them.

I finally made my way back to the pnw for a bit earlier this summer. Didn’t really shoot a ton and only brought my x100 instead of the full work kit, but I liked this shot a lot.

Love this one. Worthy of a big print for sure.

college football was not what i was expecting right off the bat, but big games mean the circus (and assignments) comes to town

Found descriptions in a swiss hiking forum on how to reach this place and decided to go for it.

On our way up we met two climbers who had just decended the tooth... sounded like a lot of fun.

I got to get into climbing
 
Heyo! Here's some shots that I'm really proud of. Wanting to connect with more freestyle photographers cause theres only a handful in my state.. If you wanna connect find me on instagram @slaperture!

Took a starsniff in 2017, i have a chronic addiction now.

People have been getting more critical of this cind of photography as it is easy to fake perfect compositions.

The position of the milky way in my images is not just combined in PS in a pleasing way. In all my astro images i take multiple sky and ground shots for stacking and combine them correctly using a reference frame i take at the start of my sessions.

Our galaxys core and rho ophiuchis jewels are my absolute favourite area in the night sky.

Details on the first image:

Tracked 50mm full frame

light frames: 75x 5min f4 iso400

dark frames: 50x 5min f4 iso400

flat frames : 50x

bias frames: 50x

Stacking in DSS

Removal of light pollution, star reduction and stretching in Pixinsight

Removal of chromatic abberation in Photoshop

Noise reduction with Topaz denoise AI

Total time spent on this one piece of work wise has most likely broken the day mark. Enjoy peeps
