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.

One 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...

Advantage 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.

What is the future of photography /p
If 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 years
Thoughts?

Well, 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 path
Well 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.
>>
>>4488055
I 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.

Film isn't a meme. 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.

Yeah these shots are way better, the subject is in focus and the exposure is closer to what it should be. And regarding the background, some lenses have poor rendition of out-of-focus areas(nervous bokeh). Increasing the aperture even more might work but the dof looks quite tight already. Good job in any case.

Who?

Three sciences about light that'll help you understand: The science of photons, electromagnetic radiation, and bosons

Two technical concepts that'll help you understand how your camera works: How computers work, how chemistry works, and how the mechanics work in a camera. (Anon here like what the fuck computers? Yes anon your digital camera is a damn computer like a smartphone is a damn computer. Hell even in some cases a calculator can be a computer. And the next what the fuck statement is about film photography which is indeed chemistry.)

Last thing is knowing how all the programming and placement of the camera functionality is in your camera. Such as knowing what the hell C4k is in a Panasonic GH5 for example.

You do all this you would know your camera like a mechanic knows a car. Congratulations you are a step ahead in being a photographer or cinematographer.

The most important part about all of this is the hardest part which is does it make sense to you like any other art form?

No. I'll tell you what this is like. When the video game Crash Bandicot came out, the developer knew the PS1 so much he put a hack on the game to allow the game to use more data than it should. From doing that, Crash Bandicot had higher resolution graphics than a lot of games on the PS1. The same thing can happen with a camera. Say you know what am EF mount is. You being the common consumer would (I hate doing this NeoNazi speak but I have to to sell my point on this site) have to go to Jew BHPhoto on this site and Jew Amazon to buy new lenses. So now instead of buying from Jews you can buy a cheap lens from a Japanese guy on eBay (Jannies I tried speaking his language). Now imagine the same with lights. You don't want to buy all this expensive equipment when you know from how light works a few cheap high output lights will do. You know from reading the light meter on your phone at daylight there is enough light under a shade for a photo.

How does /p/ feel about zines?

They seem fun. You print your stuff, distribute it however you want, and people look at it. They might toss it in the trash but at least you made an impression.

You can make them for pretty cheap. I made some lo-fi DIY-style ones with my visual art at home using just an inkjet printer, and I've been dropping them in random places for people to find.

Anyone ever make zines?

in my experience you don't have to convert to CMYK. The print software will make the conversion automatically. The reason why I wouldn't recommend it, is not all printers are CMYK, many have violet, orange, green, or even red. You don't want your image to be the limiting factor, only the printer.

Sounds like a genuine idea, OP

>If selected, I will immediately send you a very nice, very large print of your work, as well as a free copy of the publication once it is released

Sorry if this question seems dumb, how would you know where/whom to send the print and a copy of the zine if its all anonymous? I really want to know how it works
>>
>>4487623
i originally intended for the confessions to be anonymous andi figured photographers would want credit for their work.
But I have had several submission where the photographer didn't want credit, so in that case there are a couple ways to remain anonymous.

1. you don't have to receive the free print or the zine if you are truly concerned about anonymity.

2. you can submit your photo through a burner email and ship to a 3rd party, often times print shops or shipping centers will accept packages on your behalf. just make sure they don't require a drivers license or valid ID. might be more of a problem these days, but back in the day you could pick up any package as long as you knew the name on it.

3. you could sign up for my mailing list separately from your submission. i have over 100 people on my list so far and i just started this project. i'm hoping to have several hundred by the time this is ready to release. while this won't get you a copy of your photograph, it can get you a copy of the zine. ultimately, i'll need to know your shipping address, but there will be no way to link it to your submission.
