120 film is real cool. You can make veryy BIG enlargements compared to 35mm. I wanna do 120 but I'd have to ship mines out for development. Once I have my own dark room set up, I'll probably stick with 35mm for now.

**Chrith** · 06-30-2011, 10:41 AM

walmart ships it and develops for 70 cents a roll of 120.

my process for developing 120 color.
1. mail out at walmart
2. wait 2 weeks
3. buy epson v500
4. scan negs
5.return scanner

total cost. 70 cents a slide

I like this shot for some reason. Me and a buddy of mine went driving around looking for shooting locations and drove by this and had to fire a few shots out... Creeper status

Shit I had no idea that wal-mart did that. Looks like I'm going to have to go on a 120 film adventure.

**Seanaldinho10** · 06-30-2011, 02:39 PM

do they do slide color film?

**a_pla5tic_bag** · 06-30-2011, 05:13 PM

yeah they do, I even got it done for free somehow one time. That was only once though.

I was wondering if I could get some help voting a friend of mine? He is in a contest to win some ADV.1 wheels and is in the lead but just barely. His number in #39 so if you could just take a few minutes to register and vote it would be greatly appreciated!

loving all these car shots in this thread. I have always had a love for the Lambos.

Sweet Jesus #12 in that contest is immaculate. How could you ever drive something that clean...

**SACTO skim** · 06-30-2011, 09:43 PM

I would be so worried about getting dust on it haha. A Lambo/GTR/Ferrari 430 mash up may take place next week......

Mike that car shot is really rad. How'd you keep the inside so crisp when the outside looks like it's got at least a second of exposure? Or is it two shots merged?

**RUM_RUNNER** · 07-01-2011, 08:59 AM

Mikev, I'm looking for a new desktop background and number two is it. Could you send me that picture?

took the head rest of the car and squashed the camera in between it. still trying to get it a steadier. in combination with a neutral density filter it took a few tries. I believe the exposure was 4 seconds long

**M I K E V** · 07-02-2011, 03:20 PM

couple more..

**SACTO skim** · 07-03-2011, 10:46 AM

The first one is way under exposed. He just kind of blends in with the dark background

third one is sweet.

**tommygallagher** · 07-03-2011, 11:46 PM

SeaCow is right, and try to time shots of flip tricks differently. Same as like in skimming if you're going to take a picture of a re-entry as they're landing back on the wave.

**SACTO skim** · 07-04-2011, 10:39 AM

Not really feeling the shots I got from this day but here are a few more anyways.

Sick as usual Sacto, but your reds are still orange to me. I wonder if your monitor is calibrated? They are orange at my work as well...

**zeus** · 07-04-2011, 08:35 PM

that viper looks more orange than red to me, not just you gnip

**SACTO skim** · 07-04-2011, 09:15 PM

Huh weird I will have to recalibrate my MBP then.

**Gabriel Keenan** · 07-04-2011, 10:39 PM

great colors and composition, Rob!
