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 :)

    • Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces.
