No, not brave, had no choice. The back was too sticky to use. If I left it I'd never use the camera again. Something "had" to be done and this seemed like the safest and least destructive option. Oh, final note, I just checked the back for the first time since the day I made the application. A...

No, I knew the pic I posted would likely make people think OMG but it's not as bad as it looks. It's easy to apply. The back is removed from the rest of the camera so you just have to be careful to not get any on the pressure plate side. This in practice is also quite easy to do and once the...

Thanks, no hard feelings. I'm as loose as a goose, quite carefree in my photography thoughts and processes. I'll tighten it up a little. haha No pet kangaroo, just a plain old kitty and some chooks!

This is the reason I was going to bail on this thread, could see what was likely coming. :LOL: I do apologize for my last post, didn't intend to go over the top. I'm also from Australia and my last post was around 4am after a long day and after being told I don't know what I'm talking about. My...

I don't know if you read any of my other posts or just quoted my first one and then came in firing. I mentioned I could've worded my first post better. I'm new here and see now things will be taken very literally. My post was generalized, taking a loose modern perspective on the topic. If you...

Is it real black and white if you shoot colour with your digital camera and change the file to black and white later? I don't know. Just asking because there probably won't be a right answer to that one either! :LOL: Question. Don't you spell colour as colour? Why does spellcheck keep fussing...

I still do stand by what I said as far as film being a 1 step process in the way I intended it. Maybe I should've added for the masses? Maybe you could say it depends if you look at it in an analogue sense of yesteryear or a digital sense of today? I know back in the film days very few people...

You make good points. Too good, you're killing all my long post I typed! :LOL: Think I might bail out of this thread. Interesting to read all the different views on the subject of processing be it digital or film.

They go into settings? Are you sure? haha They do use the editing apps on phones though. Filter after filter after filter. Overdone skin smoothing one is the worst.

But with film did come time, cost and the limitations to the average photographer. Colour, contrast, tonal and brightness adjustments could be done relatively easily. Even these basic adjustments for the colour photographer were restricted to mainly professionals with decent budgets to work...

I've read through most of this thread and it's been an interesting discussion. Many points I agree with. I have many opinions on this subject but I'll just try and keep my views short, sweet and easy to read. Digital photography is a 2 step process. (Capture and Process) Film photography is a 1...

No, I invented it! Photographers have their noses up against the back of their cameras all the time. Why smell nothing when you can smell a nice fragrance? Once word gets out I think in 12 months first thing a photographer will put in their bag is a small bottle of baby powder! I'm so really...

Covered my film back in baby powder. Smells terrific!

Thank you

Very pleased to be here! I was on a British forum years ago and loved it people were great! Found this place couldn't sign up fast enough! Hoping to settle in for quite a while.
