thayne2k's photostream

(Just realized this is a bit old now! Updated 10/01/2011) I've been shooting for a couple years now. I usually end up with a few good shots per roll, but it's still just as much fun taking the bad pictures! (I don't know they're bad til later...) Plus the more I mess up the more I learn. I really love film; it saves a lot of post processing that people do to make digital images LOOK like photographs. Photoshop can produce images, but it's just that: image making, not photography. It's a different skillset. That said, I recently acquired a Nikon D7000 and have been teaching myself how to judiciously use Lightroom to post-process.
Arsenal thus far:

Nikon D7000
Nikkor 18-200mm 3.5-5.6
Pentacon adapter so I can use my 80mm 2.8 (!)

Pentacon Six
Zeiss Jena Biometar 80mm f/2.8

Zeiss Ikon Contessa LK
Zeiss Tessar 50mm 2.8

Canon Canonet QL17 GIII - fixed 40mm f/1.7
(my first rangefinder!)

Canon A-1
Canon 50mm 1.4 (my fastest lens!)

Minolta Maxxum 5 (my first film camera)
Quantaray AF 28-90
Kalimar MF 70-210
(I find myself using this camera less and less....)
