anyone here with a 50mm f1.8 find that in some pictures it seems like it the focus point is in the middle, regardless of where you want the focus point. Maybe i'm just not understanding something with it but it really seems like a lot of my pics the middle will be in focus regardless of where i choose my focus point.

All shot on a medium format 6x4.5 Bronica ETRS. Neopan 400 pushed two stops.

A little too contrasty, but I daren't expect anything else from Neopan.

The last shot is of a deaf man communicating the best way he can to people who don't know sign language. If you wanna know more about composition, lighting and the reasoning behind the shot. Just ask.

Well... I know this is going to sound clich?... All those fancy names and what not, forgive my ignorance:pp But I would like to hear it from someone on neowin... Why film:pp ? Would it really be that hard to get it done on a full frame dSLR and then somehow postprocess (aye... this will probably get me hanged around here by some films lovers:pp ) ?

Also, the last shot is way to dark, however, this would be a lighting and composition question:pp so, is that what you aimed for?

Forgive my gibberish...

They're all very dark. I'm testing currently which film pushes best to suit my open ended documentary brief set in my bA Hons photography. I'll go into more detail soon, but I've gotta hit the darkroom for a good few hours!

Film is lush:DD and a medium format digital back is going to set me back about 20 thousand USD for one of the cheaper ones

I'm studying at UCLan, saxondale.

The reason they're dark is due to me using a low ISO film. The shoot I'm doing is about the demise of public houses, and finding a high-iso medium format film is practically a waste of time.

Pushing the film is shooting it at a higher ISO than its configured to do so, and over developing the film to try and balance it. I'm currently trying different dev chemicals, and I'm soon going to be trying stand development.

Stand development usually lasts around an hour dev time without agitation.

As regards to your comment, maudit. I choose my medium format camera for a multitude of reasons, one primarily being that the brief set to actually attain my degree sets out that I MUST shoot film in order to show skill development in that area.

Another reason is because the tones and ability to control grain, and enlarge the negative to any size I wish. A full frame dSLR has a limit, pixels. Negatives have no limit.

The last shot is dark for a few reasons. I wanted to portray the feeling of insecurity and lonliness the man feels every day in that pub. He's deaf, he can't communicate with people, because they're too ignorant to learn sign language. He's restricted to over affluent acting, a pen and paper. Don't forget, a picture isn't about clean lines, perfect composition, good exposures and nice colours.

But don't let me lead you to believe I hate digital, I love it. I shoot it a lot, I much prefer digital over film. But when it concerns fine art prints, and having my own control over my negs, film for the win :)

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
