>>4488224The slop wars have begun, the next few years are going to be something else.I dont think this board will even exist within 2 years time as this very topic will destroy it from the inside out.
>>4488225putting your own photography watermark on ai creations is the cherry on top of the slop.
>>4488224I dont think you understand what the word photography means.>photoDerived from photon, aka light>graphFrom the greek word graphe, meaning paintingGenerating an image that was never real is fundementally not photography.
>>4488233The images were derived from light they just had some extra math involved to combine many photos into one creation.

Which do you think is more useful for Architecture photography - a Panoramic tripod head? Or A Tilt Shift lens?
Noobie photographer here, what is a panoramic tripod head?Does it have angle locking, because it seems like the thing in the OP does, and I'm considering that for what I say in >>4486909
>>4488024Have you ever tried using the search bar on a web browser to find info about unfamiliar things? (I suggest trying duckduckgo before Google cause platform decay slop.) A $€£ 5 round bubble level might help getting camera pointing straight down with whatever tripod+head you have. (Fancy head will not help if your tripod is a wobbly toy.) If you need to scan documents / books borrow, rent or buy a document / book scanner. From quick glance to a € 104.40 one on sale at Amazon(de) the bundled software can flatten and split pages and remove background and fingers. (Dunno if that scanner is any good or +1000% tarifed in Murica.)
>>4488217I did a lot of searching on this a year or so ago and wasn't able to find much at the time, but since I'm not knowledgeable on photography I figured it was possible I simply wasn't using the right terminologyI'm not just wanting a level, because that still introduces room for my tweaking to be slightly off if by eye I don't notice the level not being actually entirely level. I'm wanting something that actually locks itself to different angle increments so there's no room for error.
>>4488024Panoramic tripod heads are so you can shoot panoramas while keeping the nodal point the sameIf you pan direction on a normal tripod, differences in nodal point can give you some distortionIt doesn't have much functional benefit outside of panoramas / composite>>4488232You can get geared heads which offer precise angle adjustment as the knobs are "geared" rather than "locked/unlocked" like most heads, but they are generally quite expensive.Any decent tripod will lock at whatever angle you want, and you can usually be fine with relying on the cameras built-in level.
>>4487884See A and B of >>4488285If you don't account for parallax, you can end up with a slightly different perspective
In order to achieve this kind of black does it got to be underexposed or overexposed? and how many stops?Point the light meter at the subject or at the empty space?thanks in advance
>>4488039>the degens on 4chin say the moon is made of cheddar so it must be trooNice self report schizo.
>>4488042
>>4487994It depends on what you are trying to achieve. That looks like a record sleeve and will therefore have been printed from cmyk inks. Get your lighting right and convert to monochrome in Photoshop The covert back to cmyk and fuck around with curves until you get it how you want
>>4488007you seem angry that you're not creative. you're probably good at something else, so maybe do that instead :)

I like the aesthetics of tobbaco, zippos and leather
>>4485326Tobacco is thirdie, not manly.
>>4473779It has so much aura
>>4485326The best is cedar sticks. Using butane is preferable to a zippo type lighter because lighter fluid also has a bad taste to it.
Not sure what the name of this aesthetic is. I have the same journal but green, I have a matt silver zippo with a cigar lighter insert. I also drink Jaeger but only on holidays. Listen.. we are in a photography forum with a bunch of other performative clowns. Just lean into what you like, but dont go full fedora. Never go full fedora.
I'm really lost on how much sensor size matters, because while I read tons of gear stuff here and the most detailed explanations, in reality the photos taken with a small sensor still look good to me because it's about composition, feelings, emotion, subjects and things like that.So what's the deal with sensor sizes
>>4486390agree, you're going to put fake grain on your pic regardless, just reduce the chroma noise leave the luma and voila you saved a step processing
>>4486385I don't like this it's bad

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?
>>4488092If you're doing specific work, then using the right tools for the job is what's most important. But you can do whatever when it's not work related.I'm getting more into the frame of mind where I just pick one focal length for the day and then stick with it. I've been using zoom lenses for the last 15 years and fucking hated carrying that big ass camera and lens around.I got an x100vi recently with the two conversion lenses and I love how tiny and light it is. I just pick between the 26, 35 and 50 for the day and stick with it. Don't carry anything else with me. It's great. Yeah you're going to miss some shots from not having the versatility of a zoom, but having a camera that's so light around my neck that I don't even notice it massively outweighs the lack of versatility for me. It's a great and powerful little camera.I'm looking at some Nikon stuff too though that I might buy in February or something. Those 1,8 primes look great, light weight and very affordable. The 26 2,8 pancake looks very promising too. I prefer 26 over 24. It's a subtle difference, but I think 24 juuuuust has a little too much lens distortion where I find the 26 to be a cleaner look that's wide enough to justify it next to also having a 35 which is my sort of primary "scene" focal length.
>>4487722based, im spending a week in hokkaido in feb. can't wait
>>4488047i was at a park in tokyo and there was a big group of ojisans with GIANT lenses hanging out drinking tea and taking photos of birds. i wish i could have bros like them.
>>4488154>hokkaidois the most fun city name to say. Every time I say it, it comes out my mouth with all this extra pizazz, like a samurai in a 70s exploitation movie, with a big long gravelly Hhhhhhhoooo KAIDOOOOOO. I love it.
>>4488155Yeah, it's primarily two groups:a.) Retired bros with zoom lensesb.) Scrawny 20yo nerds with bigger zoom lenses taking pictures of trainsPretty sure you can easily get buddy buddy with the former if you speak the language. In my experience, old guys generally like chit-chatting with foreigners in all manner of situations.
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
>>4487570Just ordered one for $20 dollarydoos. If it's shit it just becomes a cheap decoration piece which I'm honestly fine with
I bought a six-pack to give to my family for Christmas. I'm keen. I'm debating whether I should give one to my Mum though because, on the one hand, she's going overseas next year but, on the other hand, she's utterly retarded with technology and she may not use it or find it awkward. She's also at that stage where she's basically blind to anything two feet in front of her face so I doubt she'd enjoy the experience of using it. I want to give one to my cousin instead. She's also going overseas and she's not a tech-illiterate boomer either but I would hate to make the rest of my extended family feel left out or whatever.
>>4487751>>4487763The listing on Aliexpress claims it has autofocus. I think that is a lie but in case it does, I am intrigued to hear how well it works, since the real Charmera is fixed focus.

>>4481623One or two % of acetic acid is enough if you do not reuse stop. So 2 parts of 5-10% white vinegar and 8 parts of water. Less water if you save the stop for next time. Few % citric acid also works, and does not stink like vinegar. About 30g / liter or oz per quart or whatever. Molds can grow in dilute citric acid so better not store it...
>>4481645The vinegar stink is what etched the darkroom into my memory from high school, highly recommended
>>4481623Advantage of acidic stop is it stops developing immediately (which matters if using fact acting develoer) and it keeps fixer PH down if you reuse it.

Only ai can do it
Does anyone use GIMP for photo editing and manipulation? Has it become a "photographer's program" yet, or is it still clunky and freetarded?
>>4481367What is this? Somekind of edge detection algo run on a high entropy image? ig a splash of water or just the surface of turbulent water, i am probably wrong.
>>4487887Nta. Looks like one of the inbuilt G'MIC effects you can apply in GIMP (and other GNOOO software). They're mostly memes but you can get some neat effects.
At this point Lightroom/PS combo is the only thing stopping me from ditching Windows. I'd love to see an actually good alternative that does everything those two apps do, but there isn't one.
I use Darktable for editing jpg:s also.
>>4488079It's a good tool overall, but it can't do compositing and layering well or at all. For my product photography, I need both.
What is the future of photography /pIf you were starting today what would you buy?Will stand alone cameras start needing more technological integrated features?Will cameras push harder for realism and imbedded certificates to show its a real photo or will cameras start integrating inbuilt editing features to add in skies on blown photos etc? Will standalone cameras start adding features to make short form video?I’m just worried buying today the world of photography is about to go through its most drastic change in its entire existence and this will occur over the next 10 yearsThoughts?
>>4487857Well, AI has to eliminate noise, aberrations and fuzz and then generate the perfect photo from what's left with plausible detail that is not in original to make the result look natural. I don't think current models can do that yet. But I'm no expert in AI or using AI.But I do think graphic designers are already truly screwed.The left one is part of my own filtered photo of turbulent water. I asked Grok to "find 24 shapes from this image which could be good logo of startup but different from any existing logo and draw them as lineart in 4x6 grid" (sic)
>>4488049>getting paid to generate a bunch of random shapes is a doomed career pathWell yes, but actually no.The good graphic designers are still going to completely BTFO any AI generated shit smear because AI is only good at identifying, repeating and feeding into patterns.A top-shelf graphic designer will still find work for the businesses that want to disassociate with AI. Genuinely good design is still the hallmark of a human mind (for now) and it's very obvious when genuine thought and talent went into a graphic. It's just the semi-unemployed post-grads that are fucked, and rightly so.
>>4488055I do not disagree. I've asked AI find most "important" or shapes from abstract turbulence and what it finds simply is not at all what human brain would pick up. AI can generate unlimited boring slop but AI also is already very good doing generic busywork and management. Top-self creative people will keep their jobs but there are not that many of those.
future of photo is literally AI, but this cumslurping board is too dumb to get that. we should be having AI photo threads
>>4488049are those fuji worms?
I shoot black and whit 'art' photos.I print a lot. So i spend a lot of time looking at the details of each photo. especially if they're hanging on my wall.that being said, i have a conundrum which, surprisingly, isn't well covered on the internet:>would you say a leica monochrom, or a medium format (with more bits and more sensor real estate) would produce better black and white images?
>>4487908Pot. Kettle. Zone 0.

>>4487913Yep, silly me. I totally forgot. Somday I'll stop being such fucking scum. Alas, today is not that day.

Filmfags are meme.Film is an interesting and unique approach to photography that you can't get with digital, and treating it as such can be a nice experience.Being a delusional faggot about "muh film is three billion megapickles" and failing to see the massive convenience of digital is the meme.
>>4487875This. Film is good. Liking film is good. Other people liking film sucks, those fucking hipster douches. It’s only good when I do it, everybody else is stupid. …*those* hipster douches.
