It’s kind of like the Wild West, but has a pretty great photography community

Anyone in Southern California want to hire me?

I stood next to the milk bar. Set the camera on a trash can and set the camera to bulb mode. As soon as the man started flipping his lightsaber, I exposed the film for about four seconds. I love how the person on the left stayed still for the full time.

How do I get people to want to shoot with me?

Clone stamp works for those light edges for me, but I swear that heal has been making worse pimples than what was originally there. It kept going from a white head to a full on red pimple. It’s weird

I feel like the heal tool on Ps is getting worse too, so I’ve gone back to the clone stamp for pimples and lint

Mine has a surprisingly good lens. Paired with a cheap hot show flash, I can get some really good shots. That light leak in the first picture was insane! Thanks
