I thought it was going to be something about an actual jellyfish... like what happens when you freeze a jellyfish, or can they be frozen and revived, or you were going to buy frozen jellyfish....

I thought the same as Varine... but that looks awesome :thup:

The size against the rocks is a good indication of how huge they can get.

Was I the only one who thought it was a real giant frozen jelly fish?! I thought oh cool... and then I was sad because I realised it was ice.

    Chile was a photographer but they are long gone from the site and doing other stuff now
  • Varine Varine:
    Well one of them is like six months, and I think his other daughter is like five or six? Like, young enough he shouldn't have drugs around anyway.

  • Varine Varine:
    So my side business is doing home archives, like digitizing and restoring old photographs and negatives, so I'm looking for like a DSLR that can do good macro photos
  • Varine Varine:
    I have some special scanners for slides and negatives, but they are kind of limited when it comes to some types of film, so I'm thinking I can set up a kind of projection system and just use a good camera to capture some of them if I need to.
  • Varine Varine:
    So I'm just looking for recommendations, because I'd like to not spend more than like 800 dollars if I don't have to, which seems to be lower midrange for DSLR. Should I bother with something like that, or just wait and plan on spending a lot more?
  • Varine Varine:
    I know I need at least 24 megapixel because I need to be able to capture the film grain because that's kind of a thing I advertise about, and my admittedly very fast math and a guy on Reddit told me that's what I need
  • Varine Varine:
    I know a lot about film, I don't know shit about digital cameras
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll also probably need to set up a server at some point because these scans take up a huge amount of space. I'll worry about that when I have an office though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am sure Ghan could give you some solid advice on the Server stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I hear that the latest IPhones and Samsungs have some of the best cameras out there.
  • jonas jonas:
    phone cameras are good for sending pics on whatsapp, but no good for macro photography
  • jonas jonas:
    I think you should buy a used macro lens, do you already have a system camera?
  • Varine Varine:
    No, I'm still looking into them and kind of leaning towards a Rebel T7 at the moment because it's pretty cheap and lenses seem pretty easy to come by. Used ones are only like 3-400 dollars, which is much cheaper than I was planning
  • jonas jonas:
    I can't really recommend you any specific lens or body due to lack of knowledge, but in my experience camera shops are very helpful, especially those that also sell used parts
  • Varine Varine:
    There's only one camera shop in my town and they seem to specialize in film, but I have time before I need it. I'm not in a rush so I'll keep researching them
  • jonas jonas:
    I think since you have such specific needs, you should find a way to give a try for different systems without having to commit to one
  • jonas jonas:
    It would suck to spend 400$ on a system that doesn't have the capability you need
  • jonas jonas:
    and it will probably take a couple of tries to get the settings right
  • Varine Varine:
    It would but I can also just make sure I can return them. The system I have works, it's pretty straightforward and I tested it with a camera I have. All it really is is a little cartridge that holds the transparency film and a white light source behind it that projects the image into the lens
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll have to fuck with the light a bit and try some different lighting methods to get color accuracy, but I have IT8 targets for that

  • The Helper The Helper:
    get that color accuracy :)
  • Varine Varine:
    They're really helpful for calibrating things because I'm really colorblind, so I'm not great at doing it by eye
