Excuse me sir, but if i’m up to me nuts in guts, you can think i’m pathetic as ya want and i d n g a single f. And bitch plz, a camera id no different than any other object. Using any object to get laid is the best possible use of that thing.

I know it's because of photo fatigue, but the idea of not having my camera and missing a good moment kills me. How do you guys (suggest to) go about this/have you had this happen to you?

I usually have a personal project on the side to keep my mind focused and give me a sense of direction, but I don't have any going on currently.

Man photos of all the office workers in rush hour are so depressing, giving me bad memories OP of packed public transport on Monday morning with every single person looking miserable.

Anyway your problem is simple, swap to shooting naked women and all your problems will be fixed, you are grinding out that job for something right?

Anon you make it sound so simple, I know we all want to do this but getting women to actually agree is impossible unless you pay them. And the ones who will do it for pay aren’t necessarily the ones you want to shoot naked so better off just necking myself metaphorically I guess.

>>4314221
nta but you just have to start being around the right (wrong) women. ime very liberal women and any woman who self-identities as an 'artist' or part of the lgbt stuff. Love the idea generally. I think it's because they want the attention, same as every woman, but if it's artistic nudes they feel released from the shame of it being strictly pornographic. They are, however, insufferable people to be around, so pick your poison I guess

I went outside to take some pictures and then I realized something: there are cars everywhere and they are all ugly. All black or silver with this soap bar shape that disrupts the straight lines of the buildings. So when I look at older photographs and get inspired I realize these kind of pictures can't even be taken anymore unless staged.

Yes, in a way. Cybertrucks are butt ugly but at least they are a unique design. It's a risky and different design decision. For that fact it should be applauded.

Not at all. Even two different models from the same manufacturer model year line up will look more different than most of these.

Post scanning rigs.

Apparently the main caveat of buying a dedicated scanner is slow as shit workflow, having to edit the picture with shitty software BEFORE moving to the next frame, and feed it manually yet.

Have you built a scanning rig? Did you order the kit online? What can you make a backlight of? How do you ensure the camera is completely perpendicular and the film is correctly aligned? Tell me ideas to feed the negatives without scratching them.

I have a Nikon D3300 with the kit 18-55 zoom. I've read most use a 55mm macro prime. I only have the kit lens and some "macro" extension rings. Is that good enough?

Pic not mine, but an interesting setup.

“Divide by 4” is a myth anyway and Bayer sensors resolve to their Nyquist limits unless you literally cover the lens with a sharp cutoff filter matched to one of the CFA peaks. (Yes, I’ve done that experiment.)

I don't understand. I've been taking photos and videos for over 10 years yet they still suck. I don't know why that is. I get told by family and friends my images are good, but every time I post it on the net there's someone there that says it's awful.

Do you all know?

been a long time guys, having a kid and a fucking meth-head crazy dog AND being an arborist climbing trees year-round doesn't give me much time to shoot anymore. Other than the 3 or 4 opportunities I'm given to go shoot, i just don't really want to anymore.

This will probably be the last time i post here, some of these are new, taken with my trusty old Ricoh Gr i got way back in 2015 (which i never ONCE dealt with the *dust* issue), some with my Nikon d750, and a few from my Samsung S10/Google Pixel 7 phones.

A lot of these are going to be old files I've either re-edited, or old RAWs i never got around to touching, and just recently gave them my best shot. I will also add a few photos i think are my absolute best (i will label them as such), feel free to shit on as many of them as hard as you want, ill bite the pillow and take it dry.

Anyways, its been a great 10 years on this god forbidden board, and even though gear faggotry never slowed (in fact, it got worse, thanks Sony) you guys were the ones that taught me everything i know. From taking and giving criticism, to techniques and genuinely great advice, i got it from here (i still miss Bass). Thanks guys, its been fun.

Anyways, feel free to post any old or recent lowlight/night shots you've taken. It doesn't have to be recent either, post night shots from years ago that you're the most proud of, id love to see.

Define “low light.” I grabbed a Canon R6 because it can do 4k24 with a f/1.4 lens by near full moonlight. Full moon you can do 4k60. Which means you can easily do hand held by the same at a lower ISO (IBIS for slower shutter).

It’s actually overkill for most urban night shots though. Vegas as an example, you can get away with ISO 3200 no IS and 800 with IS. While I love FF, you can do most low light stuff with a modern aps-c and f/1.4 or f/2 lens, especially with IS.
>>
>>4313218
No idea where you’re getting that impression of IBIS, it’s good for 4-5 stops on my R6 by itself, 6 with OIS, in the UWA to mild tele range, no leaning against anything. It kicks ass for non-IS glass.

But yes a tripod is the cheapest way to do low light assuming subject motion isn’t an issue. In that case you can even do film.
>>
>>4314010
"low light" the way say, fujislugs do it, by just underexposing SOOC instead of overexposing to pull to taste and accepting copious amounts of motion blur, can be done on anything.

however stopping motion with thorough exposure and the lowest ISO you can manage requires FF+ and truly fast glass.
there's also the "equivalence is fucking fake thing"
>no equivalence between bayer and xtranny - bayer is superior in every way
>significantly larger pixels? no equivalence
>higher resolution? no equivalence
>video? larger pixels or higher resolution AND oversampled 4k = mogs crop hard

This is pretty much what I did. I only planned where my accommodation would be, otherwise I just went wherever I was feeling in the moment. I coughed up the money for the 21 day JR pass, so I wasn't afraid of detours. I took the longest route from takayama to kanazawa, and it was well worth it. It was hard to not hit the touristy spots at all as I was a first timer. I've been constantly day dreaming about going back. I really want to hit hokkaido in the summer and do some hiking/backpacking. Something about summitting a 10k in the morning, then going back down the mountain for ramen is super appealing.

I'm kind of leaning towards the Z8 just because it's the second-newest camera in their lineup and the ZF has a fairly deprecated sensor. So does the Z8, but i can live with that for the megapixels and insane stacked sensor performance. I usually make cameras last at least 8 to 10 years, so $3500 ain't too bad.

I might also yolo and get a canon r6 ii instead, though. Feeling spunky.

Have you ever bought a lens only to return it to the store later because you needed it for a particular event?

I hesitate to do so because I don't need such lenses in the long term, just for special occasions, for example trying to photograph the stars with a lens that costs $2,000 and then returning it afterwards.

Have you ever done this? Because rentals are expensive and too restrictive

it's doable if you're good at not leaving any traces, and I mean ANY traces.
don't use it for too long before returning it. less than 5 days is ideal.
don't do it too much, else they'll catch on.

I was given a 1940s projector and about 2 dozen reels of home movies from 1936-1960s. I want to try recording the picture from the wall instead of sending them in to be digitized (about $1300 for all)
Two issues: the projector has a variable speed knob so there’s no way of knowing what speed it’s running at (fps)
Second: I don’t know what the frame rate is of the captured film, did home portable 16mm cameras have a standard rate?

When I try to capture with my video camera I get rolling bars and blurred frames because the recording frame rate (I set it to 1/30) is out of sync with the projector. Anyone have any advice?

For me yes, If they were my grandpas movies it would be worth my money but I got these second hand from an estate sale, I’m guessing he’s the kid in these videos. He was 95 when I saw him.
I’m mostly interested in the historical aspect of these, his parents were pretty wealthy in these videos and a lot of places they visit are very different now

After watching almost 4 hours of home movies I feel like this family would’ve been cool to live with lol

I didn't realize 16mm frames were so close to each other, I guess it's nice that almost no film gets wasted.
Epson Scan (with V600 and V850 that I have at least) can auto-detect frames from 35mm strips. I wonder if it would be smart enough to detect 16mm frames in the same mode. The 35mm holders hold either 3 or 4 6-frame 35mm strips, so best case you'd have 48 16mm frames per cycle. So at least 2 seconds of footage. But it's at least 5 minutes of work (setting up film strips and scanning itself) per holder, so not really viable. And you'd have to cut the film into strips, too, which sucks.
I wonder if you could build a dslr scanning rig, have reels attached on both sides of lightbox, and have RPi it something controlling motor attached to one of the reels, and automatically trigger the camera too. You could probably automate cropping and exporting the frames to prores or something too. Would be an involved but pretty cool project to do.

Life looked good back then. This family has 16mm Kodachrome color video of LA, Florida, Hawaii, Gautemala, Mexico, Sweden and, South America all from the 1940-60s. That alone is pretty neat.

i hate the chinese but fucking hell can they make a good COB this thing has rocked my cock off every single time i've been able to use it

battery sucks though, wish they'd make the entire line v mount compatible

Black people will fight anyone, regardless of if they look like a bitch.
Straps don't matter, they'll just sucker punch you while you're trying to compose a shot.

you carry too much fear to be doing anything with street photography. it's all communicated subconsciously when you approach someone. people will think you're a dickhead.
