What kind of camera do I need if I want to do sharp city photography. Does a FF sensor body not cut it anymore ? Or do I just some ultrasharp lens?[EXIF data available. Click here to show/hide.]Camera-Specific Properties:PhotographerAJImage-Specific Properties:

>>4314575That's what i meant, and what I'm talking about. 4x5 and up, especially when contact printed.
>>4314575>but high rez FF out performs them on the technical qualityThats what Im asking, for photos like that taken with modern FF digital cameras so I can see the quality/detail. images like this >>4314547for example
>>4314582You need to buy an 8x10 or larger contact print and look at it in person if you truly want to understand the difference. I bet you could find a nice piece to hang on the wall for pretty cheap on ebay.
>>4314580>That's what i meant, and what I'm talking about. 4x5 and up, especially when contact printed.That can be a valid argument for going that direction. I would say that you can learn to post process your digital files to look like old time B&W and Kodachrome. (Kodachrome would actually be harder.) But in the case of B&W, an easy path to getting that look is to simply do what they did. Use an emulsion close to what they had (if available, LF film choices are getting thin). Develop like they did. Print like they did. At the very least that would be a lot of fun and you should end up with a very similar result.>>4314582>Thats what Im asking, for photos like that taken with modern FF digital cameras so I can see the quality/detail. images like this >>4314547>for exampleSorry, I shouldn't have been so curt. I would search Flickr. Search on the T/S lenses you're interested in, B&W. Also search on descriptive phrases like "B&W city architecture FF digital." You're bound to run into a style that's close enough at least to compare.When I went through the WWII 4x5's many were portraits and I was comparing to my own shots on a 5Ds. And, again, those 4x5's are gorgeous, and Kodachrome's palette can be difficult to emulate. They represent an era. So artistically I'm not comparing anything I've done to them. But technically, resolution/sharpness/tonality, 5Ds RAWs edges them out. That surprised me at the time, but makes sense given the time period. A 4x5 can certainly edge out even an A7R V today. You have to print very large to see it, but it can.If I seem like I'm pushing digital it's only because the cost/workflow advantages are so huge. And it's not like the early 2000's when LF would blow a 6mp DSLR out of the water. If you know what you're getting into with LF in terms of cost and time, and want to experience it, want to try and make photographs the way they did, then go LF.

Why is it that when I film in higher resolutions, the colors become much different (better, more natural looking).I have a sonya6400, and the 4k footage has tremendously bette colors than 1080p footage. And I now just got a new gopro, and I see the same pattern. 4k has much better (more natural) colors than 1080p, and 5,3k is even better than 4k.I've also tried youtubing some resulotion comparison videos on the same camera (with the same settings), and it's the same. Higher quality nearly always produces better and more natural colors.What the hell is going on? I would like to not be limited to the highest possible resolution, but I just cannot unsee how bad the colors look on 1080p.
Video quality is very meaningless, fyi, most people literally can not view 4k video as actual 4k, their display software will downsample or otherwise interpolate it. Unless you are shooting for a professional job it's literally just the color space changing. Remember these retards are zooming in on 2mp/8mp video frames. Which are usually motion blurred.Holywood even tolerates rolling shutter dramatic enough for gunfire to illuminate only half the screen.
>>4308073Wanted to add that some sensor crops also involve downsampling as >>4307796 pointed out. Personally, I don't like sensor cropping since you lose out on some of the benefits of the larger sensor.Just to reiterate, unless you really need 1080, just use 4K since most modern cameras downsample from the full sensor in normal 4K modes these days (apart from a few super high resolution cameras). But if you are like me and want 60p with full sensor readout, then options drop fast. A7SIII, R6 Mark II, and R8 and maybe some of the flagships for full frame. R8 has no IBIS though. APS-C has the X-H2S and A6700. m43rds has most of the GH series and the G9s. Oddly, the 1 inch cams don't do this outside of maybe some smartphones/action cams.
>>4308073Interesting, I didn't even know DPR had video comparisons.Thanks.
>>4308075>Video quality is very meaningless, fyi, most people literally can not view 4k video as actual 4k, their display software will downsample4k 422 becomes 1080p 444visibly superior, worth it in every case
>>4308073>Downsampling is a very electronically intensive process since you have to capture the whole sensor and then resize it down dozens of times per second. Upping the frame rate makes it even harder so skipping pixels was and often still is a common way to achieve that.Yep. One reason I love 4k off my R6 is that it's oversampled even at 4k60.
Apologize right now /p1.1 billion revenue, up 20% year on year, Fuji is absolutely killing it. They are making cameras that people want to buy, the proof is in. The era of FUJI is upon us.

>>4314121This. I used these cameras when they were new. They were not, and are not, magic or capable of giving better color. They’re completely decent cameras, aside from being obsolete and low resolution. I really think the D700 was the first perfect FF SLR Nikon made. It runs circles around D200s and D300s.
How are the digital lenses for these old Pentax DSLRs? Or shall I just stick with my old manual lenses?

I'm a bit of a beginner who's done mostly landscape and abstract photography, but I really want to get into portraitures. I've been meaning to do it for a while, but I don't know any of the basic rules, fundamentals, or philosophy behind it. I just wanted to ask if any anons here had any good tutorials to watch, specific books to read, highlight certain photos/examples, or any other resource I should check out to help me get a better understanding of portaits.
>>4314348idk, I never watched anything or read any books but from my experience shooting portraits the most helpful things have been to compliment the model and never verbalize anything negative even if it's about you and the camera. Try to talk and banter, have a good time, be friendly. Bringing a bluetooth speaker for some background noise can also help things be less awkwardScouting locations before hand is good. The more confident you seem while on the shoot the better the models respondYou can look up posing stuff for ideas but personally none of that ever sticks in my head when I'm out on the shoot and I just treat posing someone the same way I'd construct any other frame. idk, that's all I have

>>4314348>I don't know any of the basic rules, fundamentals, or philosophy behind itgood. take more portraits until you can see what kind of portraits you want to make, what portraits you like, and then your portraits will be like no one else's. the best way to take good photos is to take a lot.however, I have done some work (read: about three days worth with the owner of a clothing store in a nearby city) with models and the number-one thing I remember from it was how the guy there (who'd been working in fashion for decades) kept telling the models to pose and they would just do it. it seemed like the models already knew how they wanted to look on camera so all he had to do was get them to strike their next pose when he was ready. poses in portraiture may not be what you like. I don't know. maybe you really just like plain faces. I did learn another thing from one of my photography instructors at community college. He said you can cut off the forehead but never the eyebrows or anything below that. Next, he said you never cut anyone off at their joints; only cut them out of frame on a limb. that helps you frame extreme close-ups (cut-off at the neck), close ups (cut off beneath the shoulders) and medium shots (cut-off below the elbows and either above or below the hips). it could be a bullshit rule but it helps me make decisions so you could use it too.Last thing, and I learnt this from another instructor: you need to take 10 000 photos to get a good one.

>>4314363The 6400 is a nice improvement if you wanna use a small camera and keep working on aps-c but it's not a tremendous improvement. 6600 and 6700 are definitely better, but are also more expensive, bigger and heavier, so unless you really prefer smaller lenses or apc-c for reasons, going FF could be better. But to learn the 6000 is perfect. I sugest you to take your time before thinking to new cameras unless you somehow win the lottery. Don't let other put you down on the topic.
>>4311734>what am i in fordust collecting
I recently got some expired Delta for $10, and I have an OM10, which only goes up to 1600 ASA. What'sthe best way to go about getting decent images from this. l've only ever pushed HP5, and trying to work out the logistics of shooting lower than box speed, then developing at box speed, and not being able to tell if it's pushing or pulling is making this a mindfuck. I've read andread and understand what pushing and pulling DOES, but I guess this is hyper specific to this situation? I alsobought some expired P3200, so this would also translate to that somewhat.
>>4313486Neg film has most of its latitude/dynamic range on the highlight side. So over exposing by 1ev and developing normally usually helps the shadows and grain without blowing highlights. Sometimes anons do this on purpose. (E6 is more critical with less DR so it's important to nail exposure and shoot at box speed or just slightly over.)That said, as other anons have pointed out its truly an ISO 1000 film designed to be pushed up to 3200. So you're not actually even over exposing it. It's expired so giving it more light is good. You might even want to shoot/develop as ISO 800 film. Or shoot as 800 and push to 1600.

I'm looking into selling stock photos as a side job, since it seems like a low risk form of income that, if it pays off, will be good and, if not, then I don't lose much depending on what kind of photos I'd take. I've never done this before, so I'm not very knowledgeable about this market and how to go about it. It looks like Shutterstock, Getty Images and Adobe Stock are the main websites for it, is that right? Are any of them not as big as they do seem or is there any other major website I seem to be missing? Anyways, I'm thinking of starting out through these, at least to see what happens.Are there any general tips and words of advice I should hear before starting out? Anything goes, I'm always eager and willing to learn from people with more experiences and knowledge than me, either that they got from others, their personal experiences, etc. I feel like I'm aimless right now.As I've mentioned, I don't see this as a carrer, it's just a way to potentially make something on the side, investing as little as I can into it, not really having deadlines or doing it full time, just a way to potentially make something from some of my photos. So, what should I really know going in?
You will make absolutely no money, no matter how good you are. You'd be lucky to sell a handful of two dollar pictures per month. Don't waste your time.Also, didn't read after the first sentence
Every photo worthy of selling have already been taken decades ago
