Have you ever taken a still life photograph? What did you learn from it? I am not good at it yet, but it is my favourite genre of photography. I like the idea of trying to execute a concept, telling a story with visual grammar and narrative, but there are many factors that can ruin a still life photograph. Pic related needed better composition, angling, leading lines, better props, a better background (preferably with a backdrop because the white wall does not add much), and maybe a better table. It was fun nonetheless, and I think I learned something during the shoot because I tried so many arrangements under a time constraint and learned about workflow.
>>4496665Yeah. Spending almost a year at this point taking essentially only egg based still lifes has been an excellent way to practice photography on a deeper level than simply camera manipulation. All that stuff is relatively easy. Making an image entirely from scratch is not.After so long working egg photography I've finally come up with a formal idea for a series of printed still lifes that I think will be amazing. A simple idea conceptually, but one that has really good potential. My series will not really be classical still lifes, but close enough. The bricks one and the reeds one are my first two I've taken for the series.A fun side effect of working still lifes for hundreds of hours is that it has helped boost confidence, skill, and creativity in other posed or controlled forms of photography like portraiture.Something that was always a bit difficult for me at first was building height in my more formal still lifes. I think your picture feels a bit unbalanced vertically. The negative space it creates in the image doesn't do anything to enhance. I understand your constraints made this difficult at the time.A fun way to practice is creating a still life that uses implied triangles between objects to create composition. You can use other shapes, but triangles is a classic. Limiting the number of elements is also a good way to practice. Here's a phone picture test shot of the third image in my series. This is just to visualize form, see how different backgrounds look, and to play with cropping. I'll spend time over multiple days working on these before I actually take a picture on film. If I'm lucky it will be a one and done.
i gave it a shot last year. seems like a gnere suited for people who have interesting lives. or at least lives that put them in contact with interesting objects

>>4497192Ehhh it wasn't a lot, it was all stuff I was looking for from Yahoo Auctions Japan purchased through buyee. A lot of it was listed as junk though. Pic related is the K70 and photos from it. Only real 2 duds from this is the Minolta 50mm 1.4 (oily aperture blades) and one of the K10Ds (took the pic of the K70 with it and the FA 50mm f1.4). Other 2 pics were test shots with the K70 + 50mm 1.4. Its actually kind of insane how much cheaper it is to buy this stuff even with the tariffs and shipping. Americans really get gouged with pricing but it could also be the low yen working in my favor + more availability for Pentax/Minolta. K70 is gonna be my edc/beater camera when I don't want to lug a CCD vintage sovl pos (or need the low light performance without a 4lb FF brick). I really love how these cameras just eat at high ISOs.
>>4495823nice tongue
>>4497261I've got 58 thread on what I use, so that might work. hmmm.I actually thought you were talking about those teleconverters that go in between the lens and the camera.>>4497280>I bet really old brass lenses with simple designs you could adapt would have significant CA. There are small ones with shorter focal lengths that are not very expensive you could get. They should work fine projection-wise on FF or smaller.Any specific model names that come to mind?
new thread:>>4497651
I found a hippie in the country who would develop and scan my negatives, but here's the thing, I'm very new to analog photography (new to photography in general, actually) and I needed to know if his offer was a load of crap or not.In this case, he would develop any of my negatives, whether black and white, orthochromatic, c-41 or ecn22, for the price of 5.73 US dollars and would scan them for 2.50 US dollars, that's for each roll, i.e., 36 exposures.I won't know the real quality of the photos unless I test them, but these prices make me very suspicious of this crazy guy.I don't know if it's better for me to develop the negatives at home (if that interferes with the quality of the photo or not) or if I should just send everything to him and that's it.
I asked him for some examples of photos taken using the method we're discussing here, and he sent me these.
>>4496576>>4496577>>4496578Hard to tell if those were properly exposed to begin with, so some of the issues with these might be scan issues but more likely in-camera issues. At the very least, it's cheap. Just send a couple rolls. They don't look to have crazy color shifts, so at least they're getting developed ok.
>>4496576Ask him to send you a scan including the film borders. If the barcode and text on the borders is sharp he's probably doing a good job. Anything else is impossible to tell through WhatsApp + 4chan compression
Sony cybershot 10MPreally than bad?
No, but you should improve your shot and, above all, make the most of your camera. Even better if it has optical zoom, because you can take some great photos. Something like the Basilica of Guadalupe in the GAM (Gustavo A. Madero)

>>4497037Correct, and it's a plague. As for me, I only shoot with adapted lenses right now (and if I were to buy a native lens, it would most likely be a third party one where such baked in auto-corrections typically do not apply), so my practicing is perfectly consistent with my preaching. Better luck next time.

Recommend a good camera for a beginner, I've tried a few but they all seem to commonly display interscopic flare and framebleed.
check the wiki nerd
>>4496972>interscopic flare and framebleedThese are pictorial STDs (Shutter Transmitted Diseases).A common issue with high shutter count cameras.The best way to avoid them is to look for telltale signs such as loose aperture, wobbly dials or Snoy branding.
>>4496972>read the sticky for fuck sake anonAny APS-C DSLR off fleabay for $100-250 will set you for most things. Bonus points for Canon and Nikon because there's lots of solid cameras for dirt cheap with a big lens ecosystem and above average results.For a bit more money something full frame like a D700 or 5DII is a step up, if a bit more expensiveYour lens dictates how the photo comes out more than the camera body.No matter what you buy there is a dozen different anons that will shit on you for your choice.

Well I ordered a used Fujifilm GFX 100s for 3k and the Gf 50mm f3.5 for a little over 600$. I've been doing a series of suburban/urban landscapes late at night and was previously shooting with a Nikon z7ii and the 35mm f1.4 and Voigtlander Nokton 40mm. I think the 50mm should be a pretty good light weight option but I was also looking at adapting some pentax 645 and Mamiya glass. I've also heard the Mitakon 65mm f1.4 is pretty good. Any suggestions or tips for someone who hasn't ever shot digital medium format?

Rate my snapshits
Post cut because 4chan thinks this is spam.I'm gonna be honest, it's quite bad.Most of these are badly exposed:>>4493929>>4493933>>4493948>>4493935>>4493934and as a result have weird colors >>4493929>>4493945This is mainly because you shot those with very harsh light. You need to learn to recognize when there is good light and expose correctly. I recommend understanding exposure by Brian Peterson.
Secondly, you need to work on composition. Shots like these>>4494060>>4494084>>4493957 are very dull. I have no idea what it is you think is worth seeing here. Photography works by discrimination, you have to isolate the picture you want from the rest of the reality in front of you.
Finally, here are shots I think are better than the rest.>>4494067Correctly exposed (a little underexposed but it was hard because the sun is not directly hitting the land in front of you while the sky is still bright) and colors are good, notice that this is because you shot under good light. Sharp focus on the sea creates pleasing textures.>>4493986Here clear separation between different textures makes a cool minimalist picture. Also, correctly exposed despite the expired film.>>4494349Harsh light but exposed correctly. I like the white arches.>>4494059I don't really like this one but I see you tried to do something and that makes it so much better than any of the random snapshits.Thanks for the photo thread
