Found a great place to print and develop photo in Bali

Sudah lama aku tidak merasakan pameran foto selayaknya waktu saya kuliah dulu. Kegiatan foto2 jg sudah mulai berkurang, kalau ada waktu luang aja pasti aku bakal mengkokang kameraku. Jadinya terasa gatel... banget pengen mencet tombol shutternya. Rasanya pengen mencetak hasil2 foto yang dulu pernah ku ambil, tetapi belum aku cetak. Mungkin dulu kalau masih Kuliah, untuk ongkos biaya ngeprintnya mungkin rada mahal di bandingin di Indonesia. Nah, sesampainya di Bali. Sekarang kendalanya mencari tempat yang pas untuk mencetak fotonya dan mendevelop foto2 yg aku ambil pake kamera analogku.

Beberapa minggu lalu aku sempet pengen cuci roll filmku dan mencoba nge print foto. Biasanya aku pergi ke toko langganan di Fujifilm deket gelael. Mungkin untuk biaya cuci film dan nge-scan rada mahal, dan kualitas warna cetaknya jauh dari bagus. Nah selagi aku nunggu, aku teringat kata temen ku ada toko develop n print foto yg murah dan bagus di deket pertokoan udayana. Aku coba pergi kesana buat test print, dan alhasil mungkin rada kecewa jg dengan warnanya. Eh, entah mengapa aku dikasih ama ownernya (mungkin) ke ruang developnya. Dia ngasih untuk perbaikin warnanya dan print ulang hingga warnanya sesuai dengan seleraku. WOW, sungguh tidak bisa di bayangkan ada toko seperti ini yg bener2 memberikan service yang membuat para photographer begitu senang, dan bisa mendapatkan yang dia inginkan. Alhasil aku jadi mulai memilih untuk menaruh kepercayaan ku untuk mendevelop film2ku dan mencetak foto2 ku dsana. Di bandingin toko Fuji yang ada di Gelael.

Toko cetak film ini namanya Colour digital photo Lab, di Jl. Latda Made Putra 45-DPS. Dia bener2 specialis untuk cuci cetak foto dengan menggunakan chemical, bukan menggunakan tinta printer. Mungkin ini yg membedakan di antara toko laen. Staffnya ya ramah, dan enak untuk di ajak berbincang2 di saat menunggu film atau mencetaknya.

Sesuatu hal yang menarik juga yang baru aku ketahuin juga ternyata toko ini sebagai tempat anak2 lomography mencuci dan menscan film2 mereka. Sungguh menarik tempat ini. Tempat ini jg menerima cuci B&W juga, tapi sayangnya chemicalnya belom datang. Jadinya endk isa cuci B&Wnya deh. Benernya sudah bawa banyak. Next time bakal balek lagi lah.

Ya semoga aja tempat kayak begini bisa awet.

Is not easy but Is not difficult either

It have been for a week for me to work in the office right now and becoming a Marketing & Promotion + designer in this new company I joined it. It still a new wave for me to start to learn the real world is it like. Perhaps my basic of advertising gave some reminder for me for I'm deciding right now.

17mm, is it too wide enough?

Imagine how do we need to approach someone if we wanted to take close up picture of his or her picture with 17mm full frame camera. How scary and nervous of us that took that close with that kind of lens. We usually took someone picture with zoom lens or 35mm or 50mm, so Yeah, it kind make us more comfortable for us to took it from far away.

Probably this was the sickness that most of people had it. Too comfortable with it. I know that It's kind fun using what we are like the most all the time, but it give us a bad habit. It's goes to our daily life also this kind of thing, so try to break it away. This might give you positive impact to your life and point of view.

As far as I go on with this 17mm. Sometimes it's get a bit trouble to get a close up potrait. Probably because of the lens to when to take a potrait shoot, it must get really closes as you can. That was kinda tough for me for this range. For me it might give a person a bad impression for it, and uncomfortable for it. When get to shooting a still or animal or kids. This was the best thing to get as close as you can without scaring them, and it can do it quickly.

Overall that I have been through thatt lens when I was using 24mm (Full Frame) camera again, it feel that this range was the suite one for wide. It's not to wide and not to tight. Maybe I decide to go find 24mm for range finder lens. Just back to which kind of lens that suit for a daily life. The wider the lens have, the more BALLS your are have hehehe....

It's true just try it
