starting a new one since the last one is reaching limitI recently bought myself a new softbox, the exact one in pic, and it works surprisingly well. The issue is that it won't stay open all the way, so I need something to prop it open. I've found that using a credit card and ID card work pretty well, but I don't plan on using that for obvious reasons. Anyone have any suggestions to help a retard like me, something light and small?
>>4513645thanks for response friend, can it do AF? I read if you put it on AF Servo you'll be in focus with the interval timer it works really well>>4513633wireless remote won't have range and i don't like holding it for the picture, I used the canon connect app for years but it's also very annoying when trying to take a lot of shots
>>4513904>wireless remote won't have range and i don't like holding it for the pictureJust how far back are you wanting to get? I didn't even realise the R8 was one of their full frame bodies, at that distance you can do a full body shot even in landscape. If you're just worrying that it won't be enough without actually knowing this site will help you visualise it: https://dofsimulator.net/en/As for not wanting to have the remote in your hand, set the self timer so you have time to stuff it in your pocket or something.
>>4513919idk I want to replicate this style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYNIpvU9aN0&t=22s and she uses the interval timer
>>4513920Interval shooting is definitely the way to go for something like this
>>4513920I would still suggest getting a remote, as well as using the self timer. That way you don't need to go right up to the camera to start the shooting nor are you going to be making it shake, and with the timer you'll have more time to get into position and compose yourself and less wasted shots of you just walking.
Insta and whatever else thread for wherever anons post their photos.https://www.instagram.com/mondatta.photography/Do any of you tend to go for certain themes and styles? Or just try anything?

I got into photography fairly recently, although it's something I've wanted to do for years. I've been trying to shoot and post at least one new photo every week on Instagram. I made the account specifically for photography.The problem is that I only have a handful of followers, mostly friends, so my photos don't really get seen by anyone. It's a bit frustrating putting time into it and getting almost no feedback.How do people actually get their work discovered on Instagram these days? My account is public, but unless someone searches for my username, I don't see how anyone would find it. Also, with instagram statistics, I can see that my each photo is seen like 70 times, and only 5% are not followers.Also, do you know any communities, websites, or platforms where people might be interested in this kind of work? Most of what I shoot is in France (street photography, cities, architecture, landscapes, etc.).Also I'm not posting my IG here because I'm not really interested in follow-for-follow. I'd rather follow people whose work I genuinely enjoy, and have people follow me because they actually like my photos.Any advice would be appreciated.
>>4513622>It's a bit frustrating putting time into it and getting almost no feedback.no one owes you shit, idiot. network, like and follow OTHER people and if you are lucky they will engage back.
>>4513622Social media is fucking dead my man.There is no point unless you're already established. I don't even bother, it's all this narcissistic attention game, attention is literally a currency. That's why F4F is so common, that's why the only way to grow is to be an annoying reply guy and hope that baits some attention.It also turns social media into a positivity or toxicity (see twitter) jerk off fest depending on who you're trying to attract.The other option is to have tits because then you get a bunch of retards who think you'll fuck them for social media complements.
lemme see your shots for the moon!this is mine btw captured with canon 2000d 55mm i can not remember my camera settingsi gave it some edit with lightroom this is first time with DSLR

Soggy Bottoms EditionPlease post film photos, talk about film photography, film gear like cameras, film stocks, news, and tips/tricks in this thread.Also talk about darkroom practices, enlargers, photo paper, techniques like dodging/burning, tools, and equipment related to enlarging, developing, and printing.Thread Question: Do you even cook?Previous thread: >>4507347
Little did I know that B/W could be so fun. With the price of development being 12 € (plus scans..), and a Rodinal starter kit with tank being 70 €, the investment pays off quickly. It's a more daunting to exercise to collect a copy stand from fb marketplace. I do have a macro bellow for Nikon. Are any of you scanning with DX cameras?
>>4513807They work fine for social media. If you're trying to make large prints then a larger, better sensor will help.
>>4513772Either get Ilford or ADOX starter set, they're basically the same thing just different chemicals. You'll still need changing bag but if you have completely dark space available it's probably easier to do it there since you will have more space.
B&H just raised their 3 pack price of kodak gold by $2
Egg + sheep woolI sort of dislike this image and have a feeling it doesn't fit well in my series. Visually impressive and it should make a crazy looking print, but it feels like it is just not inline with my series enough to be a part of it.Anyone familiar with my other egg photos have an opinion on it?
Thought a thread like this might be useful. Also would appreciate feedback.
>>4513901Based beyond belief
>>4513905But your aesthetic is purple or blue grass.

Sydney on Six Rolls of FilmPresented Chronologically &Shot during Vivid Sydney,By ANONYMOUS &Feat. ANONYMOUSPreviously: >>4511327 >Room 109
>>4513436>>4513437>>4513438Did you use any filters here?
>>4513752YEAH I had the UV filter on and I meant to take it off before every shot and put it back on after but I obviously forgot 99% of the time. Is that why the blacks look weird? I was probably too concerned with protecting the front element of the lens. I need a lens cap instead.
pretty based thread you have here anon, thanks>>4513753weird blacks are likely caused by scanningor underexposure and scanningdid you shoot handheld at night?
>>4513764>did you shoot handheld at night?nah, tripod. I did underexpose one stop from what the meter said, hoping to preserve more highlight detail because they bloom so much. still, I thought it could be the scans and the lab tech said she adjusted the "density" on some because they looked overexposed. she didn't imply I'd done anything wrong in camera but I can't rule that out, either. there's a lot of decisions in development and scanning I'm not privy to because I'm paying someone else to do it... kinda sucks. she said next time I could ask for flat scans and adjust the black point myself.
>>4513753I don't think the UV filter should do anything, you can usually just leave it on.I was asking about filtration just because I noticed the color temperature of the lamps was fairly warm and I figured Sydney would have already gone full globohomo and put up white LEDs everywhere. I also noticed the lights in the windows in the buildings in the background also have a very warm tone to them, but normally lighting in buildings like that is fluorescent (shows up kind of greenish on film) or these days maybe lots of (white) LEDs.I think it looks nice. Does it look that warm in real life? I hate white lighting and it would be nice to visit somewhere that has warm lighting everywhere.>I need a lens cap instead.yeah, they're like $3 for a generic one, just get one.
Reply if you're a real mf'er
>>4513874Plastic. What lens are you considering to pair with it?
>>4513894NIKKOR-W 105mm f5.6
>>4513903Does the camera/lens mount come with a helicoid? Good lens, but too long for the type of camera IMO. Precise composition and focusing before infinity will be difficult.A good FL for cameras like that is usually less than 90. Personally I would suggest either 65mm or 47mm super angulons.
>>4513907>helicoid?so it seems. >focusingyou get a ground glass but for that you have to take off the film back which seems like a bit of a hassle every time. the fella making them recommend you make your own markings and do zone focus, which i don't really trust, so that's a drawback 4 me.>I would suggestaight thanks babe.
>>4513909Oh I thought they didn't come with a gg. I have a graflex xlsw, which is a far superior contraption made from real metals and I use a universal viewfinder on a hot shoe + 69 back + zone focus and a 47mm lens. Never had focusing or composition issues and I never use the gg.If you want precise focus/composition you're going to be stuck on a tripod with a 105mm, babe.
Well I guess he arrived to the stop
This is how a person actually sees things. We don't see a whole. We see tiny fragments. At first glance Hockney's pictures look almost normal, but the more you look...
Some people might look at this and think this guy lived his whole life without a wider lens. But, this is how they actually see things. They see tiny fragments.

>>4513738i like this a lot, i think its really goodgreat symmetry broken by the gherkin and red car off to one sidei feel like the orange light coming from the doorway below the balcony on the right is distracting do you print or sell these? seems like tourists and anglophiles would dig them
>>4513785>great symmetry broken by the gherkinI still don't quite understand why London builds such ugly skyscrapers. They're already a rare thing in London, and yet it's like each one is deliberately ugly.
>>4513746>>4513749i like the use of tilt shift in these shots a lot more than your mall shot, it seems a lot more effective. the out of focus areas aren't drawing my eye at all because there's a very clear subject maybe the whole "toy" aesthetic is an acquired taste, though. it's so distinctly tilt-shift.

PCW - Precision Camera Works is looking to take on apprecntice(s). One of the few places that does service on Xpan, Noblex and Mamiya.The guy is retired, but still takes on repairs. He's pretty swamped and works slow. Sent my camera there last year, just now it was shipped back.Anyone in Austin, Texas interested in taking this on? Imagine the wealth of parts and knowledge he has,
Any cheaper hobbies to replace photography?Photography was a reason I'd blindly go walk into a nature reserve, I don't want to lose that without some form of alternative.
>>4513723you better not be one of those people (or that one guy) that is instantly triggered by the fact that nikons autofocus sucks or fuji has worms and is bad overall if you’re saying this kekeven cANON can sit still if someone says dslrs suck and the moon landing happened
>>4513725You're repeating again, did you break? >>4513724I look forward to you improving and also not replying in the future
>>4513733>paranoid schizo momentso anon, can we have your word you wont be triggered next time someone correctly states nikon Zs autofocus is kinda shit or fuji cameras are overpriced junk?
>>4513737>repeat, repeat, I must always repeatSad
>>4508439If you want a good camera, the best for your buck, only buy canon or sony mirrorless or canon or nikon DSLRs. Don’t think of a DSLR as a second rate camera. Top quality FF DSLRs are more robust and reliable than all mirrorless and better than non canon/sony mirrorless in terms of image quality and continuous autofocus usefulness. Everything else is kind of the ford chevy hyundai and kia of cameras. On paper the specs look ok and online fans hype them up and insist there are no relevant deficiencies. After all, they still drive, and go in a straight line. But if you own one and know what a good camera is like they are instantly recognizable as unreliable half baked garbage no matter how much money you throw at them. Yes, this applies to leica (m, q and sl) and hasselblad (cfv and x series) too. Phaseone is the only really good MF brand. Hasselblad is horrible to work and their lens quality is fuji tier. They are a budget MF brand. Might as well shoot FF.

>>4513674Don't stop for anything smaller than deers. Fuck those geese for shitting up my local lake. Makes sense they're Canadian, lmao!
>>4513674>place expensive electronic outside of protective unit because muh nothing ever happens mindset>something happensBrother it's like never using your seatbelt because you've never crashed. Lucky for you it just bounced around harmlessly but lenses can decenter their elements surprisingly easy so be fucking careful.
>>4513697>request a camera from brand rep to try outQRD?
>>4513847>work at camera shop>email our rep for whatever brand>try out gear for a few weeks / monthsExcept this was for an older camera with a smaller brand, so I just got sent it and they forgot about it
>>4513847Sony did this to me with an a7cII. I shoot weddings and have a youtube channel. They never got back to me, I got an a7cii, no communication. It was a good camera but it would heat up while off, something no one mentions online, so I think they sent me a QC reject unit assuming it was going to be demoed and sent back. I took some nice snapshits of a dog and sold it for $1300 to some black kid.
