Noise

No.2694884 ViewReplyReportDelete
I absolutely hate image noise. Mostly chromatic noise, but also luminance noise. Even on film. It drives me crazy that my 1.5x crop factor Nikon sensor produces as much noise as it does shooting RAW. Even if what you see on a screen is like 298% as big as the default print size assigned to the image by the camera, I want my images crystal fucking clear at that level.

Is it autism? Is noise in, say, situations where the so-called "gritty" look is not usual (like pic related) okay? If yes to both, can you slap it out of me, especially with photos that disprove my view that image noise is never, ever, EVER welcome?

How about a Hungarian /p/ meetup in Budapest? I heard that there are some of us here. Of course other Eurofag /p/ros are welcome if happen to be nearby.

SUPER new to cameras here. I posted a few weeks ago with some questions on the basics in picture taking with a Rolleiflex that my Grandfather used way back in the day. Fast forward to today and I'm watching this video:

He says to match the iso of the camera to the light meter (I'm using the pic related app), take the light meter reading, then change the shutter speed and the f/stop accordingly. I guess I'm a tad confused on that part. I believe (again, super noob here) my iso and shutter speed are one and the same thing on my camera (Rolleiflex 3.5B). Should I dial in the speed of the film on the light meter and the set the shutter speed and f/stop accordingly?

And one last question. My camera has a lever that will lock in the shutter speed and f/stop and will hold a certain EV value. What exactly is an EV value? Is that some numerical value of the light entering the camera at any given two values of aperture and shutter speed? If I lock them together, will all of my pictures have the same exposure no matter where my f/stop is because it will change my shutter speed with it?

Sorry for the more than likely cringe worthy questions.

/p/, i have this rollei and i changed the screen for a mamiya RZ67 one. now its improved as fuck, but i think it has problems with focusing marking. if you put the weel on infinite it is almost infinite but kinda soft, if you dial back it a little bit it gets sharper, ie. true infinite. how to calibrate this?

Winter camera handling

No.2694796 ViewReplyReportDelete
So with winter and child weather fast approaching, how do you shoot outdoors?

I've been reading a lot of conflicting articles, some day keep the camera close to you/in your jacket at all times to keep it warm, bit others say to leave it in the cold as your body heat week just create moisture.

So what is the proper handling ways?
