>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.

>>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
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

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!
>>4484205Cringe
>>4482143They're white? They give awards to Spanish/Mexican folk from the guilt of it. Asians took to digital media and dick worship the shallow graves of what's left of the french new wave. It all ended with Kubrick.
>>4484763FNW was a mistake. Navel gazing cin*philes.
>>4482143>cinephile here, I watch tv like a professional tv watcher bc this formulaic bullshit written at a 5th grade level is serious business worth discussing as "art">surely everyone here thinks about me and cares about me and keeps track of where I go and post all of my brilliant thoughtsHoooly fuck. Cringe doesn't even cover this. Get a fucking friend.
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
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

Recently got a camera without a light meter, looking for some tips on how to meter by eye.I get the principle behind sunny 16, and have the table in my head, but I'm constantly getting different readings from my (phone) light meter than I'm getting from my guesses using sunny 16. Is it just practice?
>>4484229Where's this? You did a fantastic job of making it very ambiguous
>>4484231in Lyon, I was gonna take a picture of the street but the guy thought I was gonna get him. So I did end up shooting him.it's a cool city
>>4484233ended up*
>>4484234fuck I'm retarded tonight, why did I see a typo thereAlso found this picture I apparently never edited, it's completely off topic but that girl is pretty
>>4481784Shoot the same ISO for a year using one lens and you'll get a good understanding of sunny 16.
what the hell happened to lighting? 40 years ago you'd have a nice controlled hairlight even on a presidential portrait
Ever since the producers of commercials did a study a couple of decades ago and found out that children and people with lower intelligence paid more attention to video if the camera was constantly moving, good cinematography and lighting no longer mattered as long as you had a shaky image. Then it moved on to television programs where it looks like everything was shot handheld. Cheap background synthesized music followed. Works out well for the production company because it saves them money. That migrated into still photography where proper lighting no longer matters as long as you grade your images.
>>4482153
>>4482153Back then you had to get it right in camera. Now every fag thinks they can fix it in Photoshop. That's all has gone to shit

>>4484160yep. we fail them.They were remodeling the floor I'm on and were going to remove the old 1800s copper ceiling panels from the hall, said we'd finally have cell reception out there. I asked to have them installed in our photo lab under the guise of eliminating EM interference with all the sensitive photo electronics. :)No one can get a cell signal in the photo lab.
