>>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.

>>4485032These are boring af on multiple levels. The subject is boring af and then you stripped it of colors. Seems like a high school assignment for architectural shadows. Idk why anyone would freely choose to make this their subject. Depressing in a dumb way. Sorry so harsh tho, just bein honest. Hope this helps.
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

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!

Cringe doesn't even cover this. Get a fucking friend.
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.

Wow, his photography is honestly shocking and beautiful way ahead of his time to be honest

Give it straight to me, /p/. Are Leica M cameras a meme? Or are they worth it?Mainly for portraits, and rock and leaves.
>>4483597That was hardly seething, he's right about a few things. Most people with Leicas buy them for the image not because they need something compact, there's a lot of cameras that do the same thing the Leica does and cost a lot less.wait, hang on i'm doing this all wrong from the get go:YOU DON'T NEED LEICA THAT COST MORE THAN AVERAGE SOVIET HOUSEWIFEYOU DON'T NEED IMPERIALIST JAP CANNON OR KNEE-CONE THAT SHOOT 13FPS OF CAT ON AMERICAN LAZEEEEE-BOY SOFAYOU DON'T NEED SONE-EEE MIRROR-LESS CAMERA OF VAPID YOU TUBING PERSONALITYBUY SOVIET CAM. FED OR ZORKI IS FINE! IS MADE FROM BASTARD NAZI DESIGN AFTER SOVIET ARMY HUMILIATE THEM. BUY 5CM LENS. LEARN HOW TO FOCUS BEFOREHANDS.

>>4482320How do wedding shoots on manual focus go? Also with more limited capabilities for telephoto, no zoom, no macro ring shots, etcAll the wedding shooters I know are using SLRs or mirrorless with big bruiser sports pro zooms, so you must be really good or have a different style. DESU, I’ve only handled a leica once, but I really liked it, and it’d be nice to be able to pick up some gigs on the side and help defray the costs. >>4483480The temptation is definitely real. I know it’d make more sense to buy Sony or canikon and get hybrid options, good autofocus, etc, but I just want the rangefinder. Been watching too many Cam Mackey videos, I guess. Shows that you can get nice portrait/fashion editorial style shots with full manual and now I’m feeling the vibe. Also the little itty bitty lenses are very appealing compared to the new Nikon stuff, optical perfection or not
>X-pro 2 + 35mm 1.4 Or>m240 + 50mm VoigtlanderFuji package is half the price, but it’s aps-c, but you do get autofocusLeica would be $2500 for the combo, but FF, M-mount so all lenses are usable forever, and I kinda like using manual focus Use would be for travel, portraits, and maybe fashion/influencer photography, I know some people at my gym. Only real downside of Leica is spending that much money up front, and needing a whole second camera to shoot sports or action. Granted, the x-pro autofocus probably isn’t up to the task for that either

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?

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
Photography has the power to not only document the horrors of the world, but also bear the mark of its maker, for better or worse. It is not simply opening and closing a shutter.Take this evidence that the SS photographer, Friedrich Franz Bauer, implicated himself with. He usually made propaganda of concentration camps to normalize them against any moral outrage. This was part of the Nazi regime's policy to beautify their camps and "Jewish settlements."Here, Bauer takes photos of innocent children in a psychiatric hospital. He knew full well they would face forced euthanasia during Aktion T4. But history now sees this photo as a criminal act, a witness to the worst parts of humanity, as well as a bystander who did nothing to stop the rise of modern evil. Again, photography is not merely clicking a button. It has the power to echo throughout history.

Why are image sensors rectangular when a camera’s image circle is… well, circular?
>>4483957So sounds like straight lines are easier then, thank you for confirming
>>4483891The wafers are circular to begin with. Just make the wafers smaller and have one sensor per wafer.
>>4483963Yes, they are, unless you're a physicist, then they're the fallacy at the root of all your nightmares. You're welcome.
>>4484156>not just using the entire wafer at their current sizesensorlet
