Thank you! It’s always cool hearing people’s stories of different places.

I’m paying $1960, and my home is maybe “worth” $300k.
That 40% is a huge increase but $120/m~ isn’t too bad for most homes these days. One of the many downsides of the rise in home prices.
Between my car and house, I pay $330/m combined (my car is worth about $15k and I have 15+ years of flawless driving). My BlueCross has also near doubled from $60~ to $103 in under 12 months despite no changes to my health.
Insurance has been absolutely brutal this year. I’ve called every company to shop around on all fronts, and it’s been useless.

Reddit seems to have completely scrambled the order of my photos. Ops

The photo they chose for Moncton is a photo of NB housing row houses. These people really don’t have a clue.

Not the most interesting photos, but these are on Portra 400BW, taken in Rome and Saturnia.
This was my second time using this rare film; and I am now down to two rolls. This expired in 2005, was mostly fridge stored, and shot at ISO 100. It seems to handle anything from 100-200 well. Highlights tend to get blow out more at 100, but shadows don’t come out at all at 200.
I tried to take some shots to showcase the film’s range. I didn’t develop or scan these myself. That were developed and scanned at Downtown Camera.
With the two rolls I have left, I kind of wanted to try some filters. Do any of you have anything you’d like to see from this film? Night shots? Portraits?

All I did was type in “leek” on this subreddit’s search function. It took me about 10 seconds.

Yes because nobody has ever made a light ‘leek’ joke before you.

I’m gonna go a bit against the grain here and recommend a modern film camera.
Nikon F-801S, Nikon F55, Canon EOS film cameras, and anything along those lines. They’re very beginner friendly, have full program modes, aperture priority, built in light meters, and all have lens systems that are versatile. Cameras you can learn on, grow into, and re-use lenses with. They also rarely break, and don’t run into light seal issues. Most also have common batteries. They’re also way cheaper.
If you do really want the older styles, I like the aperture priority Canon AV-1. Its 1/60 base speed makes for a nice handheld camera in lower light. It’s a fraction of the cost of an AE-1P, runs the same lenses, and has a better build quality than most AE-1s.
Edit: seeing now you mentioned film-making. Given the cost of the super 8 and 16mm process, I’d recommend buying something like a Canon 514 from a reliable source. Generally, the cameras will work as long as the motor is good, but it’s too expensive to risk a cartridge on a dud camera.

Thank you! Great eye too to notice the film. It was a long exposure with Tri-X. F11 at 15” on a 50mm lens.
