>>4489559u know u can just hold a camera low right instead of getting on the ground. how dumb are u bruh
>>4489554your highlights look awful, i'll ignore the green tint because its nostalgic to me being y2k af.your subjects and angles are boring and I dont know what youre trying to say other than "I AM OBSESSED WITH AESTHETICS" and vibes. Its half hearted and you dont commit enough at all to anything at all.you have to get lower or get high. get close or dont bother.
>>4489486which phone?
>>4489486It's usually better to have not so much going on in the frame, these shots are busy and want to show everything. A chef doesn't have a dish with every flavour, just a few, 3, 4 ingredients fused together.
>>4489486>>4489487>>4489489>>4489491>>4489492I think you are decent at composing but the contrasts and colors are exceptionally awful. I don't know what was the point of dimming the highlights so much but it creates weird burns (>>4489489) and the photo is just generally too dark. This strange green tint makes the colors very unappealing (>>4489486, >>4489491). Only decent photo overall is >>4489487 where the contrast between the red lights and the street make the colors look ok.
Are rangefinders just point-and-shoot snapshitters with slightly more adjustability? I'm entertaining the idea of a smaller film camera but looking at pics taken by them and what they offer they seem like a glorified p&s. Am I missing something here?
>>4494329Dawg anything is going to feel uncomfortable at first. I've always given myself at least a solid few weeks of only using one camera before deciding if I actually like it or not. >>4494333>making up an argument >>4496131RAD camera>>4496784Only up from here
>>4496823Nah I know immediately if I'm going to like a camera or not.
>>4496833>I just find an SLR so much easier to work with.You took a couple of shots on an RF for the first time, found it more difficult than an SLR, and gave up. shockedpikachu.png
>>4496884I don't know why you're mad that I'm not using it. It's slower than the SLRs im used to. Pretty simple.
>>4496894I'm not mad, just think it's kinda wild way to go about life
>>4496606Not beating the Indian allegations with this post.
>>4496626I've been at it since 2010 but I really started throwing myself at it after COVID, I went through a huge equipment upgrade that let me do low-light, bought a bunch of prime lenses that were all <f/2 and got into underwater work so it has let me do shots I would have previously struggled with and I started separating myself from the GWCs. My primary genre has always been landscape but I wanted to challenge myself with people because I was always afraid of judgement or other people thinking I was a creep and I needed to get past all that crap by just getting out and doing it and dealing with rejection. She knows, we actually met on the premise of nude work and it just accidentally happened, I Edward Weston'd her I guess.
>>4496693Can we see more of your stuff? What's your Instagram?
>>4492310My problem is, when I was in my 20s and still good looking, I didn't have the money to hang around with girls that hot, and when I finally made the money, I looked old, because I had become, too old to think pissing away my money on dumb whores is still a good idea. Remember, that as pretty as they seem, they're still americans, dumb as hell, aggressive, selfish assholes who'll screw you over the instant they realize they can benefit a from doing so in any way. Avoid.
>>4493210Fucking gross.
I can't find any information about it online. Found some old websites where they have showcased the progression of the Iloca lineup, but it doesn't show this particular variety. Perhaps it is some obscure "in between" model which is not unheard of when it comes to German mid-century cameras.Iloca Electric Texograph 2, T2If anybody is interested I want a million dollars.
>>4495495>it's a rebranded graflex apparently.Graflex is the rebrand, Iloca is the real brand.>>4495497>Maybe it's some pre production model or a prototype?Interestingly googling the "Texograph 2, T2" gives only photos of a completely different camera. The mystery continues. I highly doubt there are many collectors of these things around though, most information about this particular brand are on old websites and some even archived which means the boomers that had an above average interest in them are probably passed away. It is always interesting when something like this comes along and there is no way of researching value.>>4495494>Are you autistic by any chance anon?Probably. I only had to sell a couple of those cameras to break even so if reducing my cost of camera gear makes me autistic then yes.
Also, the camera has a eurygon 35mm f4 lens attached to it which also isn't that common on these cameras, but it is a DKL mount from my understanding so that may have been swapped sometime along the way, but perhaps it was original and has to do with some specific purpose this was marketed towards in technical fields beyond photography.
Another interesting aspect of the Iloca Electric is that it is said to be the very first camera with electric motor wind.
>>4495494idk where op is from but years ago before normalfags got obsessed with digicams and analog, you used to be able to buy huge piles of old camera gear from ebay/goodwill for pennies. i fucking miss those days.
>>4496608you can still get old point & shoot stuff for pretty cheap. like nikon coolpix.
I was hiking last week with my camera and when I reached the summit this couple approached me and asked me if I could take a couple pictures of them and asked me how much it would be. I've never charged for a picture so I said it was free, but they insisted and gave me $20 for like 10 pictures. This left me wondering and I started doing some research. I found out people pay THOUSANDS for shitty wedding pictures, also those shitty car pictures with tons of filters on them, people actually charge money for that stuff. What the heck? does this mean I can actually make money with my camera?
>>4494128>If it werent for normies mirrorless wouldnt sell and we’d all still shoot filmDo normies hate DSLR and film?
>>4494123>also those shitty car pictures with tons of filters on them, people actually charge money for that stuff.Hohoho boy do they

any final thoughts on ultra wide angle?
>>4496504I had a Canon EF-S 10-22 which i thought was going to be badass to have but ended up being nearly useless. Like the other Anon said its tough to compose a decent image because its so wide that everything is in frame. I guess it depends what youre shooting but i didnt like it for landscape like i thought i would
>>4496620>ultra wide>for landscapesHoly retard. They are for interiors and creative product/portrait work.
Idk if 16mm counts as "ultra" wide but I love my EF 16-35 F4L. It doesn't distort the image like fish eye lenses, and in general is very pleasing for just about anythhing: pics of groups in small places, architecture, vlog style filming etc. You can pick one up for under 400Fish eye lenses are another story altogether, the only thing they look good on conaistently that I've seen is those stadium panoramas
>>4496620>>4496645UWA is absolutely okay for landscape but shouldn't really be the default choice. However, the 10-22mm range includes the 24-35mm section which is normally the ideal spot for landscapes AND UWA lenses tend to have less distortion than GP zooms in that range.You can also go for a prime which is often better but also good luck getting the framing right.>>4496650Literally my favorite lens now and most used. I personally think anything 20mm and wider counts as UWA but technically <24mm is.
>>4496645Sorry boss, my mom usually said 'special'
I don't want to buy a new flagship every two years. I just want to have a nice pocket camera and keep my midrange for a while. My old olympus pocket camera lasted for almost a decade. Preferably nothing more expensive than $700
>>4496638Oh, in that case, can we see some of your examples where dust ingress has impacted you?
>>4496673Can I see some examples of needing other people to have examples to have an opinion?
>>4490766reminder this is corgifag having a perma buyers remorse meltdown because fuji weather sealing is so trash he must imagine no one actually needs the same basic environmental protection phones haveHe will apply the same cope to anything, autofocus, etc, and INSIST you never hold these expensive ass cameras to standards unless you can post all your ___ shots for him (he will call them shit and say you dont need more than an xt3) BTW Why is it ALWAYS a dogfaggot?
>>4496673Never, because I use weather sealed cameras, and I always have. Nikon DSLRs had pretty decent weather resistance, shitty non sealed cameras costing thousands are a new thing driven by Sony.Fixed lens compacts have never been well sealed. Just not worth it to me, I don't like buying ewaste even if it's cheap.If you genuinely are interested just look up "dust ricoh gr." Tons of examples.
>>4496692that dog in the middle looks kind of familiar
What's /p/'s opinion on one of the most viewed (online) photographers?>Sex And Takeout is an ongoing viral series on the unnecessary and unkind social boundaries and cultural taboos forced upon women’s bodies. By indulging in sex and junk food, Bahbah proposes a celebration of the self. Inspired by her personal battle with disordered eating, Sex And Takeout is a declaration of overcoming guilt and shame. Through this series, Bahbah unpacks expectations of femininity and challenges her own standards of beauty.
>>4488006>Eating garbage "food" in excess, without any cultural occasion, tradition, or symbolism but "STOP! TELLING! WOMEN! NOT! TO! GET! FAT!" (read in the claps) is not a celebration of the self. It is degenerated behavior for anyone over the age of 16, regardless of race, religion or culture.Most of these women (at least the ones posted) are a healthy weight Only 2 are fat.

From the historical perspective alone, this stuff is pretty cool. That Nomads series is something I can 100% imagine a fashion designer these days looking back on it and straight up using it as inspiration.
1/?This is the review of an OM-5 micro 4/3 camera. I am a full frame user, and I bought this camera to have a small, fun, attractive camera to take snapshits around town. I own or have owned a D850, Z5ii, Z6ii, basically every Nikon DXXX DSLR, D500, Z50, etc. This is my first M43 camera and I was not sure what to expect, so I am chronicling my impressions both for myself, and for other photographers who are looking for a small, fun camera. Ergonomics: This camera is outstanding IMO. For me the Nikon FF cameras are in this weird middle spot that is ergonomically uncomfortable for me. They are either too small or too big. The D850 and my D7500 fit my hand fantastically. I will always have a Nikon DSLR because they are so comfortable to hold and use. The OM-5 is smaller to hold than my Z5ii for example, and that gets it out of the uncomfortable middle ground. With the Z5, I’m always between holding it in front with all of my fingers, or just 3 – there isn’t really enough room for all 4, but with 3, it feels a little insecure. With the OM-5, three fingers fit perfectly. There is enough grip on the front and a great thumb rest on the back. The buttons are very well placed on the camera body for operation while shooting. Simply put, this is a very comfortable camera to hold and shoot. For reference, when I am walking around and shooting, I grip the camera the entire time in my right hand, and have a wrist lanyard for safety. This can be fatiguing with a larger DSLR (the D800 in particular had almost no thumb rest and it was agonizing to carry. The D850 is much better, but is just heavy and gets tiring on the wrist after several hours). The D7500 is extremely comfortable in this regard because of its blobmera shape and light weight. The Z series FF cameras are in the middle ground of just “ok”. The OM-5 was very good.TO BE CONTINUED
>>4491481>muh equivalenceShut the fuck up cANON, everyone knows you're a videofag from the magic lantern bullshit. It's self evident that you became obsessed with speedboosters and teleconverters at some point like all videofags so all you now know is muh equivalence even if it doesn't hold water. kys
>>4492049>Meds, the chronicles
>>4489241>Close to a phone if not identical.Don't really care if the photo is shot with a phone or a camera. If you care too much you are a gear slut. In the end no one will even care about your photos or gear just shoot what you like.
>>4492049Lol fuck up schizo. Your dainty purse camera is an analogy for the strength of your arguments.Throw your dumbshit ratios out the window and realise that total light gathered is the important metric and MFTURDS are pathetic at that one job.>>4495249>GUYSE DON'T USE BETTER STUFF IT MAKES ME FEEL BADLmao.MFTURD threads are full of distilled 60% v/v cope.

Spent two hours at the local book market today. Reached the place a little while before sunset, pushed through my anxiety and tried my hand at taking some photographs.Feel free to post any pictures you /p/ros took at any book fair or local market in your area.

Based thread
>>4486715>>4488969this smelled so desperate for a (You) I'm giving you one>>4486697OP don't take my question the wrong way, but I see you have a RF mount lens so your camera is relatively new. How afraid are you at any given moment of getting robbed for the camera? I have a R10 and I'm just about to sign for insurance on it because I am, very. It would help to get some outside perspective.
Why is it so orange
>>4496505Because it's in Pakistan.
What's the secret to digital b&w photography?
first you take and develop an analogue pictureThen you take a digital picture of the film
>>4496468No fuck you, give me your address and I'll send you my negs instead
Black and white photography in modern age is so fucking gay
>>4496500I guess you are kinda right. I almost fell for the GRIV monochrome. Instead I did a month of shooting only b&w and realized it's just a meme. My family ask me to send a color version of photos "but why is it black and white??". I compare both and color is always a bit nicer. The warmth of sunlight, deep greens in nature, skin toans. It's such a pleasure to see color. Probably why all movie directors immediatelly abandoned b&w when finally color film was around. It's just more alive.
ha people say this and that about art but black and white photos are rly good for home decor, easier to match with stucco n sutffall b&w, contrasty, got stuff in every incel adams zone, put a matte around it, keep it small, get a few, mostly boats and womenmaybe some mountaintopsi like montaintops, they're the tits of the earththat's the stuff i like, sets of them>>4491707square crop, hasselblad it, then that's the stuff lol cant beat the classics
I will post some more examples.
>>4492532You could always use a technical camera with a 120 back, but I don't really see the point when doing product photography like this unless you really needed the additional DoF that smaller formats afford you.
>>4495844Sir, this is NOT the coomer thread
>>4495844I’d fuck that cheese
i think they're called gay
is ass, I know, but it has suspenseful looks.Any suggestions of how to get nice night photos without a profesional camera?
or even a suggestion on how to improve?
>>4496471A good photo needs good light, which can be faint within limits of your camera and subject. If there is not enough of it for gear getting a "nice" photo may not be possible and you have to do with "evocative imperfection" aka shit. So what kind of camera you do have? Does it have a flash?I'd expect a10+ year old canonikon hobbyist dlsr kit on a tripod or beanbag can take a properly exposed (but likely sucky) photo of a stationary subject almost anywhere in a major city from light pollution alone - with up to 30s or so exposure time and possibly horribly noisy ISO. Moving subjects will be a challenge without using flash.>>4496472Take photos when you find a subject in good light. Or use flash. In situations where your gear is inadequate snap anyway, sometimes the resulting mess is interesting.
>>4496487this. it's all about the light. it's both a meme and the truth.
>>4496471a tripod and an actual subject
