Heh they are very similar looking.
My roll in a day isnt going to plan, taken only 8 so far and it's getting dark... Going into town now though so im gonna try it at f2.8 and 1/30 shutter speed. Should work ok...

Good luck!

Took a few last night, but nowhere near finishing the roll.
So I went out early this afternoon (day off!) to take some more and also take some with my digital camera. A roll of film in 1 day isn't that easy if you're not in an interesting place!

Here's a few digital ones from this afternoon:

As usual you can see them bigger on my flickr.

I took a few of these/similar ones on both digital and film, so it will be interesting to compare when I get them developed...

Never seen that before.
I like to think I would do the same thing, stand my ground. I've never been asked to not take photos though. To be honest I'm quite shy when taking photos, especially if its people. As soon as someone notices i usually move on or try and pretend I was taking a photo of something else haha.

Decided to put some of my photos into a series, an on going series of Manchester:

very cool site Dan great pics as usual.

Yeah after seeing this video I would love to handle myself as well. I'm afraid the little punk in me would just tell them to fuck off. But obviously cold hard facts work better. well they did in this instance.

The cupcake macro is pretty neat, what are you using?

In other news I may have just bought an Olympus 35RC based on you telling me to Dan

you are going to have to stop doing that or it could get DANGEROUS!

DanHeron · Post by **DanHeron** » Sun Mar 04, 2012 12:58 am

hahaha. It's a great little camera. So small you can take it anywhere, all of the time.

I came across this small index of photos, from a google search, all taken with the 35RC. They are really nice:

Also, you've probably already looked at this, but it has all the info you could need:

Thanks.

While I don't mind spending cash on my hobbies, I don't have a tonne to spend... so I cobble some decent components together and then get stuck without being able to upgrade or get things I need. With this in mind, I do all my macro work with a Nikon D80 (dated, but pretty hot when I got it... just wish it had better high ISO sensitivity) with a Nikkor 50mm f1.8 (yeah, the $150 one) on a reversing ring. Here I was also using my SB-800 strobe.

Nikon D80, 50mm (reversed), f8, 1/40, ISO200; SB-800 @f36 1/8

Wish I could afford an actual macro lens, but I get by with what I have

Went out again this morning to the Northern Quarter area of Manchester. It's the most interesting area, a lot of arty shops, graffiti, back alley ways etc, best place for photography anyway.
Finished off the roll finally on the 35RC, will get it developed tomorrow hopefully. Also took out my digital camera as usual...

Well I agree with not having money to spend, I havent bought a camera for myself since my second hand fujifinepix s7000 years ago. Well apart from the 35mm I just done bought. Everything else is loaned to me or bought for me! Photography can be stupid expensive!
