ano po ba opinion nyo?

nag sisimula palang yung hilig ko sa photography.. meron papa ko SLR na nikon FE2 na may tamron tele macro 210mm

ok ba to for beginner?

hmm..kapag gumamit ako ng scanner para ma transfer yung picture(hard copy) sa pc.. mababawasan ba ng quality?

[gitarakista27]

a friend of mine told me na SLR's and DSLR's both have pros and cons..

I agree with what he said. DSLRs may be more convinient pero kahet gano kataas ang megapixel ng DSLR mo an SLR can give you an average of 25megapixels with every shot.

wow! ayos yun ah! ginaganahan ako lalo.. 

to all

ang pag gamit ba ng photoshop ay ma consider na cheating?

example, kasi im using slr, so may program ako, picasa, which is may soft focus and focal black and white feature..gusto ko kasi i try since walang ganung function yung slr namin.. pero naiisip ko parang baka dinadaya ko yung sarili ko and yung real beauty ng subject ko..

in my opinion, what matters most is how you feel about it. photography shouldn't have rules in my opinion. if sabihin nila madaya yun, di mo na ba gagawin dahil sabi nila? what if you're happy with editing and photoshopping(may term ba na ganun?).

my friend and i agreed upon the fact na photography is like music. it's a form of expression. i guess there are no limits or rules on how to correctly express yourself kasi galing sayo yun eh. people may react or criticize but at the end of the day, you just keep on doing what you love doing. keep on keepin on.

ako, i photoshop my images most of the time. i crop, i change contrasts, and adjust other settings para makita ang gusto ko ipalabas. for me it's also a maner of choosing which/what you want to bring out in your shots.i'm not a perfect or a very talented photographer, so i edit my pics. i think most people would agree. thats why most people prefer to have their films developed with soft copies instead of hardcopies. kasi kung hard copy na agad, hangan dun nalang yun. no possibilities. but if soft copy, the posibilities are endless:D

i love both, too bad though na ndi ko kaya isupport ang film dahil mahal talaga siya. pwede mong ipascan yung films mo sa digiprint para ndi mawala yung quality.

para makuha mo yung ganda ng film, you need at least 40mp kung tama pa pagkakaalala ko.

kahit naman nung film days pa, yung mga ibang photographers ay nag dodge and burn na(syempre yung tunay na dodge and burn) so ndi naman pang dadaya ang pag photoshop.

for sure may mga purist na hindi nag phophotoshop, pero kanya kanya lang, as long as na eexpress mo yung gusto mong ma express. though sarap ipagmalaki na talagang nakuha mo yung shot na gusto mo without any software para ienhance siya

yung iba ayaw kahit lightroom, pero come to think about it, ang lightroom ay way of "developing" our images.

baliktad naman tayo.. ako, di ko kaya isuport ang digital photography kasi dangmahal ng DSLR! hahahha at kung bibili din ako dslr kahet 400d, 450d or 1000d na bibilin ko para di naman pipichugen. I think most photographers would say the nikon d40 along with cheap beginer cams are toys but OK naman din sila.

I'm thinking of buying a 20d din kasi nagmura na ngayon at medjo useful din compared sa 400-450d kaso mas 8mp lang ata ang 20d.

dont you think you're thinking a wee bit too much?

and incidentally i've heard that during the time of the SLRs, they also had their own manual "Photoshop", where they could adjust color, contrast, and whatever else via different kinds of liquids or what not.

whatever floats your boat.

pano pong i scan yung film? yung negative? bale ano po result nun..parang from negative film ma convert diretso into soft copy (jpeg)?

yup

@gitarakista27:
pag dslr kasi one time bigtime sa body, parang naka infinte rolls of film ka na hehe

oo nga bro. thats why i'm savin' up for a DSLR. hopefully makabili ako ng 450d within the year.. pero the 20d looks tempting. much cheaper than the 450d pa nga.

body nalang kelangan ko kasi may 2 lens na ako 

[higad]

mag-20D ka na lang dale. hehe.

@tweenty-seven

tama ang sinabi ni gitarakista at badong.

in photography, it really doesn't matter how you took the shot, what camera you used, how you made the picture. what matters most is how good the picture is.

siguro kung sariling gawa lang, to be sure, ok lng yung photoshop...kahit ako photoshopper din ako eh.hehe... pero some magazine company, hindi daw nila pinapayagan iphotoshop yung gawa ng photogrpher nila.... i think crop na lang daw yung pinapayagan dun sa company na yun...kwento lang naman sakin....


@Topic... i'd go for DSLR, dahil mas madali.... pero kung gusto mo na wide yung alam mo sa photography, might as well learn how to use SLR's

[palmmuteboi]

pro film and all the way

Go analog!

film scanning po ba yung kilalang tawag dun? sa kodak kaya may ganung techonology na? thank you bro

[gitarakista27]

they do it sa digiprint, sa photoline, and sa picture city.. iba iba lang prices nila for converting film to soft copies...

i think it's the way to go talaga. you get your shots developed to soft copies. kasi kung hardcopy na, hanggan dun nalang mararating nung shot..

[tweenty-seven]

ayun..salamat sa lahat ng tulong! 

[tweenty-seven]

confused lang ako.. sa box ng film na nabili ko naka lagay dun "100", eto ba yung ASA/ISO ? kasi in-set ko slr sa 3000 ASA/ISO  pero yung film may naka lagay na 100.. ano kaya mangyayari sa frame na yun? ma overexposed ba?

[dimebag7]

ang magiging problem mo lng sigro sa film.. ung pagtimpla ng settings.. syempre.. makkita mo lang ung output kapag naprint na.. trial and error din un.. pero malaki naitutulong nun sa photographer.. dun matetest ang skills mo.. nothin beats SLR parin.. pero sa ngaun may humabol sa quality ng output.. in terms of MP's.. kasi sabi nila nsa 25MP daw ang labas ng film SLR.. ung D3x ng nikon ung sa tingin ko ang close dun with 24.5MP.. pero unreasonable pa ung presyo nya sa ngaun.. napakamahal.. hehe siguro word of advice ko.. tulad ng sabi ng mga master ko.. "WALA SA PANA YAN... NASA TUMITIRA" kasi i know people who uses lower dslr models pero ung quality at itsura ng shots nila.. hindi mo iisiping sa lower dslr model.. hehe

Hi Tweet!

I am using Yashica FX-D Quartz SLR. In regards to using films, the number for example in a FujiFilm Superia it indicates there the ASA speed which is 200 or depends on the roll. You would need to set up the ASA to the designated speed of the film. The shutter speed is already built-in in SLRs. Actually, using either of the SLR or DSLR is similar. The difference is that the SLR uses film which is true color, while DSLR uses memory card so all you have to is point and shoot whenever or wherever.

I've been using SLRs and analog cameras. Actually Me and My sister used to contribute in Lomography here in the Philippines, we are promoting lomography ever since here in the Philippines before it became popular and even before Penshoppe or any boutiques who do promos to win a lomo camera. Good thing it is spreading all over, even before DSLRs became popular. I am using expired films and load it in an LC-A camera or SLR cameram and then all you have to do is wait til the film roll is done. Then that's what we call "MAGIC IN THE BOX", you will see the art of photography once you cross process it. If you are going to process the pictures, there is a way of film to cd, it called cross process. You can ask it to Fujifilm stores or any camera stores if they doing cross process.

As a starter, It's a good thing that you learn first the analog ones, before you transfer to digital ones. Once you get used on using SLR, you will appreciate the effect and also the difference between DSLR.

Thank You and God bless!

Gamit ko noon is Canon Canonet QL / 7 and Olympus OM 10.
Advantage ngayon sa DSLR is I get more shots & di na kailangan ng mga filters kasi may white balance na. Dati kasi nakakatamad mag dala ng mga filters, iba ang timpla ng ilaw sa indoor and sa outdoor.

On Mega pixel, it was never an issue for me kasi ang pinaka malaking print na ginagawa ko is 12X18 (using a 6MP D40). Pero kung 4X6 (4R) or ilalagay lang sa online, ang 1 or 3MP camera ok na.

megapixels never matter unless you're going to print them in large prints

ahh ganun po ba yun? pero may effect din po ba yun sa quality ng picture?
