>ctrl f: sqt>noneI'm going to start this one off with a stupider question than usual. Say you were asked to shoot a few wedding shots at the last minute and all you've shot before was rocks, leaves, birds and the odd landscape or building corner... what do? Asking for a friend of course but pls reply quick.
>>4498088DSLRs had more aggressive AA filters and less overcorrected lenses. The a7iv, r6ii, and r5ii all have OLPFs. Very weak OLPFs.
>>4498085I have a DSLR.
>>4497980I have a small air blower/hand pump thingy to clean the surface of my lens/filter. If I need to use some kind of solution to do it, what do you recommend?Normally I just use a moist microfiber towel but is there anything else I should be using?
>>4498128You shouldn't need to use a solution except in the worst of circumstances. Fingerprints and dust come off easily with a proper cloth, and anything more should be treated with the mildest dish soap with a very weak dilution. Don't use lime or lemon soap either as citrus acids degrade coatings. Don't put anything on a lens element that isn't specifically designed for it. Don't use LCD screen cleaner, or glasses cleaner... nothing. The dish soap is the one exception but even then it's like one drop of soap to 100ml of water.The routine I recommend:>Always start with the blower. Dust and fine particles are abrasive even if only a little, and a blower is incapable of causing scratches or abrasions.>If glass only lightly or moderately dirty, use microfibre cloth.>If glass is moderately to heavily filthy, use camera specific lens wipes. I use the Zeiss ones. You can use the microfibre cloth to make sure the element is 100% dry.>If glass is has oils, grease, or heavy grime on it, use diluted dish soap with a microfibre cloth.Can you just wipe shit off instead of going through the whole routine? Yeah. And for cheap gear it's not a big deal. But I have lenses worth thousands of dollars each and taking an extra 20 seconds to do it right is worth it for me.
>>4493121Exactly, that's what I did when I was starting out and didn't know shit. Luckily, most people are tasteless goons and didn't know it was bad

Reminds me of those late 90s paparazzi photos of celebs.
Which is better
I am going to buy one as soon as they hit the market in early Novemeber. I hope I get the 1987 edition. It's fire. Which one are you hoping to score?You are going to be getting one right /p/?You aren't gonna be a contrarian try hard no Charmera /p/haggot are you /p/? ISHYDDT
>>4495854>>4495728I see you're posting samples in 2560x1440, which is probably interpolated 3MP mode. Do you have some taken in the native 2MP mode?
>>4495924Took a while but I got around snapping 1,2 and 3k snaps to compare. Have to admit I do not see significant difference between 1k, 2k and 3k. Are you sure the base res is 2k and not 1k?
>>4498122Native resolution should be 2MP in the menu, 1920x1080 is 2.07MP. Unless the specs are a lie and it is actually a 720p sensor.
I saw another Charmera imitation online today, this one was just called "keychain camera". Unlike the G6 thumb cam, the proportions are way off on this one.
>>4498208Sorry about being imprecise, brain stuck to screen resolutions.(Video) Resolution menu 720P / 1080P(Photo) Image Quality 1M 2M 3M 5M 8M 10M 12M, have only tried the first three.(Kind of ice flood resulting from a month of -25C ish in 2M. I had also couple better digishits with me but batteries of those could not take the cold...)
I like having the extra possible color spaces to work with when I want
>>4498173These tend to be in the ballpark of F4, iso 800, 5-15 second exposures depending on the conditions.
>>4498110Thats pretty cool. A 5D 1? I want to do it on my A7s 1 which doesn't get use anymore... Built in filter is too strong.
>>44982125Dm4 I got used. Camera before that broke when tripod tipped over into a rocky stream.
>>4498211Do you have to use long exposure when shooting unmodified?
>>4498219Yes very long. In bright sunlight I shoot about 5-10 seconds, and sometimes need to shoot significantly longer for instance in partly shaded compositions. IR is great because it works best in harsh daylight and works great on unmodified camera and easy to get started if you’re already interested in long exposure photography.

>>4496055Best photo I've ever seen, holy shit that's beautiful
>>4498078 Thank you, I truly appreciate it
New color film!!!lucky 200 has finally dropped.Anybody shot it yet? waiting for my order to arrive.
>>4488641tarrifs?>>4488638it's a lomo thing bro you just wouldn't get it, true lomocels love fucked up shit that doesn't work how it's meant to
>>4488583Kinda want to try Shanghai 100s but its so expensive to import here unless I buy it in bulk. I imagine Lucky 200 will be just as gay to get.
wow I'd love to see this direct to the US for about $5/ roll
Been out for ages Ive got some in 35mm and 120 just haven't used it yet
Shot on a Bessa R2M with the 35mm f/2 Ultron and a mix of Fuji 100, Provia 100, and Portra 400.Developed at various labs in Tokyo and Osaka, scanned by myself.
>>4490952Any shot you can give us a higher res of some of these? Awesome set OP.
>>4494545Yeah of course, which would you like?
>>4493713These are really good shots
I saved a bunch of photos in here for inspiration, nice job. Why do you shoot at eye level even when photos have no people in them?
>>4498008Thanks anon.Never really thought about that, or realized that I don't shoot at not-eye-level. I guess I just can't be fucked bending down and trying to compose and focus on a rangefinder. Although I do remember crouching down for this shot, but it's a pretty boring shot so it wasn't worth it I guess.
What makes Japan such an desired place for photography? I'm really trying to understand the hype around it. When I visited of course the size of Tokyo itself opens lots of opportunities but I quickly notice that it gets repetitive rather fast. All muh taxis look the same, the buildings have a pattern that repeats a lot. If you've seen a few shrines/temples.. in the end they all look the same. Even if you visit other prefectures you won't see much of a difference. Whenever I see camera vlogs or flickr uploads in Japan I now tend to skip because it's always the same. My current number one location would probably be Germany. Still safe enough to bring your camera with you, every state has it's own architectural style. Towns are usually a comfy mix between old medieval houses in the center with grim 60s bauhaus constructions that look really odd. Also home of Leica where this sort of everyday compact photography started. What do you think? What's your prefered location?
>>4497814>goes to japan>land of photographic plenty>all of his pictures are complete dogshit anywaythis tells more about you than it does the place, anon
>>4496587>>you would never find a shrine to the virgin mary on the roof of a european high-rise, yet shinto shrines are found in the most unusual placescan you find a shrine to the virgin mary on a japanese high rise?
>>4497731F1.2 85mm but I also use a 1.7 45mm. Honestly the larger lenses aren't practical and I'm using my s23 ultra more these days.>>4497850>Hedoesn'tgetitHow do you live with this chronic seething? Thank you for proving my point with the, "OMG JAPAN!!" meme/stereotype.
>>4497934>nooo i was just pretending to take bad pictures to prove a point
>>4497746>Hong KongI'm going here in about 2 months having only been once before, is there anywhere at all that's still grungy? I remember that the streets were much more interesting when I traveled north outside the tourist trap areas.
contributemostly wanted to experiment with the 'natural' setting on the K10DI think I used -2 saturation, 0 contrast, +1 sharpening but I adjusted it here and thereI also played with color correction in the WB but it wasn't too greatalso, /digishit/ general bread
>>4477534Is there a list of digishitters that aren't super inflated on ebay? I keep looking for them but they always seem to sell for ridiculous amounts. I'd probably be willing to spend about £50 but ideally more like £25. I want something for snapshitting that isn't a phone. >>4477890I paid £4.30 for a Zenit B (Prinzflex 500, shutter is definitely out of time though) with lens. I got a working Zenit-E body (which does shoot relatively in time) for £5.60.So updoot from me on the buying an old junker Soviet camera to fuck about with, they're so cheap it's really a no-brainer. East German cameras (e.g. Praktica) are also great for this.
>>4497740Guy in the blue shirt looks extremely similar to my brother KEK. What's his name? Initials are fine
>>4497772Is he a realtor in Cleveland OH? Does he play Diablo 3?
>>4497801Nope lmao. Same hair and body shape and facial profile though which was throwing me for a loop.Looks like it was fun time with the homies though
>>4497750Minolta DiMages seem to be relatively cheap. Anything electronic from 00's assume broken unless thoroughly tested working. (The X I bought at 2002 new kind of works but forgets settings when powered off.)
I went out on the streets late and took some photos tonight with this phone, here they are..
Like this
>>4489946i didnt know pre-smartphone phones had cameras.
>>4489947>>4489954You're in Auckland aren't you OP?>>4489956OhI hate taking photos here because I don't want to get mugged at night and I live in the suburbs.
>>4497914Yeah I wouldn't worry about getting mugged, lots of people sleeping in the streets with their stuff like this guy I've seen a few times. Saturday nights have all the partiers obviously. I'm moving out of the city but will stay at hotels if I want to come in for a trip.
Came into a used F4 and F5 last year and started shooting film, here are some photos I wasted on film.

>>4497056NTA but yeah, at least make sure you don't "invest" into a cheap 4k 50€ webcam from aliexpress. (or do it and use it as a webcam too)
>>4497353Yeah I almost pulled the pin on one of those cheap SVBONY ones but I'll probably save for a ZWO and do some more research on what one would be best for me. Getting clear pictures of Saturn and Jupiter would be ideal, I'll keep the smartphone mount for the moon.

It is time.
>>4496225nicephone brand?
>>4496730Samsung s23 ultra. You gotta shoot in RAW. Even when you turn as much post processing off as you can, the jpegs still suck
yesterday
>>4497552Even if I turn off all the HDR & post processing options in the menu, it still edits the photos. They get blurry and look like shit, and the worst part is when my phone's a little slow I can SEE it happening - for 1/2 second the photo is perfect and then it gets filtered and smoothed to death.
After much positive feedback to the /m43/ general I re-thought the whole thing. Why limit to one mount if the defining defining feature is the aspect ratio?Let's have a /4:3/ general for all the based chads who shoot in 4:3 ratio!Welcome: Everyone whose system shoots natively in 4:3!Also welcome: Those who accept the superiority of 4:3 and crop their 3:2 (cringe) images to the 4:3 (based) ratio.Not welcome: Everyone else.Topic of the first /4:3/ general ever: Are 5:4 and 6:7 based, too? Or are they just tryhard?Discuss!
>>4494849Is your monitor calibrated? The colors are severely fucked.
>>4497948Edited in DxO maybe? I recognize this acid piss filter.
>>4497947>>4497967All the greens are scorched and yellow, and the clouds have the appearance of an MS Paint spraypaint toolWhat on Earth.
>>4497972Haha I just zoomed into the clouds.
Bad insomnia lately. Been walking around with a camera for couple hours before bed hoping it wears me out.
Shallow dof is extremely abused in photography but especially in videography and basically the ultimate youtube/netflix lazy trash signifier at this point. In 2026 we're deepfocusmaxxing. Reject bokehslop.Retvrn to composition.

>>4497599I get where you are coming from but there's no point in imposing restrictions. Just use whatever serves the purpose of visual aesthetic that you want to achieve.
>>4497599This is just naive thinkingOne is not inherently better than the otherEspecially for cinematography You want to use both extremes when appropriate to communicate somethingSpamming one or the other is just badYou have a tool box, use the right ones at the right time. Don't always reach for a hammer or a screwdriver out of some weird autistic principle.
