Can UV filters help to reduce purple fringing?
>>4481608>Doesn't understand T-stops or why they exist
What even causes that?
>>4485444Fringng? Lack of optical correction which allows aberrations. What are aberrations? Normally different wavelengths of light bending at different values which means red and purple hit the sensor in slightly different areas and so on.Vintange lenses will normally exhibit some strong fringing since they didnt quite get there yet in terms of optical engineering, but it's also why modern superzooms or teles or even your wide aperture normals are like twice the size of vintage stuff: extra elements and better engineering that requires larger glass surfaces will aid in reducing aberrations at the cost of, well, cost and size. Purple fringing seems to be the most common but I never looked into why, just that some photography software has inbuilt adjustments specifically for it.
>>4479561based Darktable enjoyer. Raw chrom ab also works great
>>4479561also if you go into >lens corrections and then manipulate >tca override to align the red and blue channels in the RAW, you can actually eliminate almost all fringing entirely, it's an incredible feature that I randomly stumbled upon watching a DT youtube tutorial

How to manual focus stack properly with minimal size distorsion. I have a af lens x 0.5mag and trying to do manual focus stacking trying the fwd and back rocking method but i end up with the subject movement and change in size.Any advice?
any film macro people have experience with olympus' 80mm f/4 macro lens? thinking about picking up a good condition used one for my OM-2n as an upgrade over the close up focus rings I use currently. comes with the extension tube as well I think.
>>4484609nice photo anon, i like it.im gonna go take some pics with my extension tubes
If I ask some college students to help me model for my photography do I have to pay them or is giving them the pictures for the instagram enough? What is your guys experience in this?
>>4485103Based on the fact that you have to ask such a question instead of simply trying it out I don't think you have the social skills required to have good looking college girls to work for you for free.
Just advertise what you want to do and they will come because girls are posers
>>4485272You are right I have no social skills I use Claude AI to write my responses for me it's working out so far already got 2 girls on board but I haven't discussed paying them so I just wanted to be prepared incase they ask
>>4485103the less you offer, the more you have to offer
>>4485307unironically deep. thanks
I have an iPhone 13 and I've been wanting to take photos of my CRT. Currently the only way to get rid of flicker has been recording on the blackmagic app at the right shutter speed and screenshotting the video which seems odd. Surely there's a good camera app that lets you take photos with options for shutter speed.
>>4485306get a real camera, stupid faggot
>>4485306Anything where you can control the shutter speed. Other than that it doesn't matter. You just need a slower shutter speed to stop the flicker. Maybe a tripod too to make sure your images are sharp when using a slow shutter speed.
hi what do you guys think, i shoot only really abandoned locations, and i feel this is one of my best photos -- abandoned church in PA
>>4485223I really like the colors here. Did you get a clear one of the painting in the bottom right corner there? The one of the angels.
There is too much even lighting. Need more depth in that aspect. Besides that these are dope. Dont give away the location though, dont disrespect the hobby like that.
>>4485223Looks great. Even as a Christian theres always a great feel to abandoned churches. Keep it up

Why do people shoot terrible, generic hotel artwork landscapes? Why do we want to be Thomas Heaton instead of Robert Adams?
>>4485181You put a lot of thought into imagining other people doing things. It’s comforting to imagine that other people are dumber, and easier than imagining you’re smarter, isn’t it

>pretentious loser finds out he's not as special as he thinks he ismany such cases, sad!
>We are still continuing sensor development. However, we are still in the "technology development phase" and have not yet begun actual sensor design. We are currently working on pixel architecture design.>To be honest, the development project is a little behind schedule. This is because each time we prototype wafers and manufacture a prototype sensor, we discover new technical challenges. Since we have never designed a sensor independently before, we are currently learning through trial and error.>While the Foveon team was previously at the forefront, the project is now primarily led by the engineering team at Sigma's headquarters in Japan. Fortunately, technical issues are gradually decreasing, and we feel that the challenges are gradually being narrowed down. Once we are confident that the sensor is technically feasible, we plan to officially move on to the sensor design phase and begin preparations for mass production.How confident are you Sigma can make the full-frame Foveon happen, anon? Even if they can get it to market, how likely are you to invest in it?
>>4478742what are you using 15 of them for?
Why do they need to stack the sensors? 3 chip camcorders solved this problem decades ago with prisms.
>>4485189The worsened color accuracy appeals to dum dum photographers that cant make a LUT and retains better pixel peeping quality than other inaccurate cameras like xtrans and ancient ccdsGearfagging is basically the same hobby as an electric guitarist that collects boutique pedals, guitars, and amps to do the job of a $50 12 band EQ
>>4485190>worsened color accuracyt. buyer's remorse snoytard
>>4485222Here’s one now, projecting its own sour grapes (inability to get stand out colors with common cameras) onto othersIt will now complain about “hours at a computer" like 30 min to make a preset to use forever is worse than paying thousands for a shittier camera with marginally nicer jpegs (but only SOOC with no settings changed, otherwise any camera can get the same jpegs but thats CHEATING)But it still shoots raw anyways (gotta crop, rotate, and fix its white balance misses)Foveon is truly pointless. Just buy a 40+mp camera, downscale, and fuck up the colors yourself.

Autumn editionPrevious thread >>4479021
>>4484969>>4484974>>4484914These are really nice
>>4484571Thank you! I appreciate the time you took to write that. I have tried embracing reflections as part of the composition, but nothing that comes together especially coherently. I do love shooting mannequins but no kino yet. If it isn't reflections, it's a dirty ass window.
>>4485059happy to do so anon. I like your pic, the poses are fun and sure the window is a bit dirty but I think this is pretty close to being a really really good photo. the reflection here could easily make the story - is someone looking in hoping to get the job? is someone walking away, perhaps rejected? or even just the excitement of the mannequins could contrast with the normalcy of the street outside. give yourself some credit, because (to me, anyway) it seems like you're approaching things from the right perspective and just need to work on some of the finer details. I'll be on the lookout your next shots

>>4485071I immediately regretted not getting a Goto version when trying to use higher power eyepieces on Saturn and Jupiter but you get the hang of tracking stuff manually pretty quickly, I love it now. Hopefully I can pull an all nighter this weekend and really use it because almost every single night since I bought it it has been cloudy + windy. Did you get a Skywatcher as well? I noticed they advertise it as coming with 25mm and 10mm eyepieces yet mine came with a 20mm and 12mm instead and a phone mount, not complaining, just a bonus.
>>4485071Also is that Saturn?
>>4485108>>4485109Yes, Sky-Watcher 300P GoTo. I was going to get the non-computerised one but my dad told me I would regret it and it's worth the extra money and I can still get the fun out of manually finding objects. I have to say I'm glad I went with the GoTo. It's been the same here, I've used it once since I bought it three weeks ago because it's just been shit weather but the radar looks good for tomorrow night so hopefully I get a good night of viewing the outer planets + the Moon. Mine was advertised with 20mm and 12.5mm and that's what I got. Maybe they changed it and forgot to update it. And yes, it's Saturn and Titan (the gold one to the left). I'm going to try and tinker with the mirrors to get them better alligned because I noticed some aberration especially with Jupiter, I want to buy some higher power eyepieces soon. Did you get any use out of the phone holder yet? It seems really chinky and cheap and I don't really fancy messing about with it in the cold trying to take sub-par pictures.
>>4485111Nice, I sort of tried the phone mount but it doesn't seem to fit very snug, you can't secure it very tight or you'll just end up gouging out bits of rubber from your eyepieces plus if your phone has multiple cameras you'll have to keep moving it side to side when you manually focus, not viable when your target is zooming across the view in <10 seconds. I read that the Celestron phone mounts sit much more secure with the giant clamp but that only solves one issue. Don't do what I did and get a cheap laser collimator either, you'll spend more time trying to collimate the collimator than using it on the mirrors, only to find when you put it in your scope in the 2" adapter it came with that it wiggles around anyway, just use the collimation cap that came with the scope.
Should industry switch back to film for better skin tones?
>>4476055No, but photos used on cover box of VHS tapes were shot on film.
>>4474453I can imagine that "the industry" would rather switch to HDR or render the same film in multiple color gradings. Like you get a little option if you want the film to look "lifelike", "vibrant" or "retro"
yeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCjMZMxNr-0
>>4477515what do you mean
>>4474517Bright headlight so it looks like a poor snuff film. More and more popular these days
Are all people in the cinema industry dickheads? Been looking around r/cinematography and people there seem to be a mix of audiophile retardation and pretentiousness of the highest order
I mean at least here on 4chan I get people who love learning from my posts. Reddit never wants to learn, as they just regurgitate bullshit over and over again. And what I write ain't even overtly political like Reddit!

Posting all his series. Posting first:Early Works(SELECT WORKS)1984 - 1987
Holy fuck, I am sorry Andres Serrano for not checking out your work due to memes, I wasn't aware of your game. Thank you OP for sharing. This shit is gold.
I want to bust a nut on this >>4483088 series very erotic and fascistic.
>>4484380I couldn't upload all his series due to the image limit, but check out his other stuff hosted on his website.https://andresserrano.org/series/budapest
Wow, his photography is honestly shocking and beautiful way ahead of his time to be honest

What's a good way to discover photographers you like, including dead ones? Is Pinterest good?
>>4484740>What's a good way to discover photographers you like, including dead ones?Go to a used book store or your university's library (even if you aren't a student you can get a library card as a member of the public) and borrow photography books. Find something with a focus on historical periods in photography, scenes and movements, or specific photographers. Even if you get one book that is overall on a subject that, after you turn the final page, you have no affection for, you may return it or put it back on your bookshelf at least knowing where you'd like to point your nose next, since you may find an allusion to another photographer or style outside the scope of the book you just read.>Is Pinterest good?Maybe. I like Flickr. Tumblr probably has some blogs you might like and there is a hashtag system so you can jump down some rabbit holes there. This is a queer suggestion but pbase and goat.vision are great resources for viewing sample galleries of specific cameras or lenses, not so much for finding specific photographers though.
>>4484740Reading.
>>4484762+I highly recommend to brief review of each book you read. take a picture of the cover or the most representative picture and write one or two lines of your impression about that book or the photographer.Trust me, it will give you in the future such great insightful database that any other meme youtuber's bullshit reviews could never give. This trick applies to pretty much everything in life though.
It's your 1st amendment rights to use that camera anon.
>>4484129Its competitive camera use, not art. If you dont use a leica and a 24mm-28mm its cheating. Like playing hockey with a lacrosse stick.
forgot about this thread desu>>4484144how so?
>>4484129You say it's fraudulent because of its pretense that ugliness is beauty that deserves to be celebrated?
>>4477140
Do you submit to magazines or prizes? I know the meme is that you can only hope to leave just one or two worthwhile photos after you die. But what’s wrong with trying to build a career?
If I had the money, I'd participate in the Mobile Photography Awards, alas the entry fees turn it into gambling
Dead board.
>>4477903Contests won't help you build your career as much as putting the same effort elsewhere (networking and marketing)Most photo contests are just rights grabs for a company to get free stock photo, they dangle a modest prize, and get back 10x that in photos they can now use for their own marketing purposes
If its free to do and you don't lose rights to your images, whats the harm?I don't do it because my photos are not good though.
>>4484677Find any contest and it's easy to see the problems, even OP's has effectively a +$75 entry feeThe only ones worth doing are small community ones with no real rewards, like we used to have here, and like you can find on other photo forums
