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

I've been mixing 500ml batches of chemicals for a while now (measuring half the powder from 1l kits) but I recently found out I can do a roll of 120 or two rolls of 35mm with under 300ml in my rotary processor, so I can get 3 batches from 1l kit or 6 batches from a 2l kit. Measuring and mixing the chemicals is a pain though. I read on some boomer forums that if you freeze the mixed up chemicals they don't spoil. That would be much easier to just mix it up all at once and pull it out of the freezer when I need a new batch.If I can get 6 batches out of a 2l kit ($53) and maybe 4-5 rolls per batch, I should be able to do $2/roll home processing.
>>4487002Depends of chemicals but freezing solutions may cause most of water crystallize almost pure and chemicals concentrate to degree of coming out of solution. And getting everything back to solution after thawing may or may not be more difficult than dissolving the original powder from kit was.
Took this photo with my Lumix DMC-FX8, default settings, auto. The screen is unfortunately now broken, so I can't use it anymore since I don't think I can replace the screen. I haven't had a friend since I was 12 and everyone has forgotten me. Also the text says "You are loved."
>>4485008Check your white balance setting, looks like you have it set to something too cool, when for most purposes you should set it to auto. The manual is here, page 43 explains how to change it. https://help.na.panasonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/DMCGX7_VQT5A95_ENG.pdf

whack composition
>>4486596Everyone just sort of drifted apart after middle school, I never managed to make any friends in both high school and college everyone was already too tight knit, I guess I have just forgotten how to make friends honestly.
If it is pleasurable, why is kitsch considered worthless?
>>4486863he's gay and has no childrenhe can shoot as many shitty landscapes as he wants his life is still meaningless and when he's dead no one will care
>>4486912>anon still thinks his life will be worth future generations caring aboutlol jokes on you, no one cares about anyone but themselves.
>>4486943>faggot copeit makes 0 difference if you kys yourself now or die from AIDS later - no one cares. even your parents hate you
>>4479974>go to a social gathering>walk around starting conversations in front of ppl but only start with some inside humor that 3 ppl get, then never tell anyone what the fuck you're talking about.>come away thinking the three people who recognize your reference bc they saw it too are the only ones who "get you">everyone gets that you're a passive-aggressive asipe who has no idea how socializing works outside your own self-absorbed headno one will ever want to bang you doing shit like that anons
>>4487023exactly the point, your parents hate you by the time you're 7, and by middle age you don't give a fuck about the details of your great grandfathers pointless life. No one has any reason to give a fuck about you, if you're living for other people, you might as well end it now bc in 3 quick generations no one will be left alive with any living memory of your existence. You'll be as interesting to humanity as some random shoemaker was in the 1300s.Better find a fucking purpose in life, bc if it's breeding your way to relevancy like a dimwitted suburban housewife, that is absolutely nothing.

How does /p/ feel about zines?They seem fun. You print your stuff, distribute it however you want, and people look at it. They might toss it in the trash but at least you made an impression.You can make them for pretty cheap. I made some lo-fi DIY-style ones with my visual art at home using just an inkjet printer, and I've been dropping them in random places for people to find.Anyone ever make zines?

I would like a small, retro style camera for hobbyist / snap shitting type photography. Image quality is important to me, but not the end all, be all. I do not want a full frame type camera such as the ZF. I already have a D850, and actually owned a ZF for several months, before getting rid of it as the lack of grip and overall hugeness made it very unfun to walk around and shoot with. Between the OM-5 and some Fuji cam, which is the best choice?
>>4486920if I wanted a huge camera I'd just take my Z6II with me
>>4486923m43... I kneel
>>4486020kys faggot. >>4486018they are probably both good cameras. the fuji is way more expensive. the best thing you can do is go on fickr and look at images from the camera.
>>4486896ironically a bounce flash could have saved this photo from being blurry. pretty horse though!
>>4486981bringing a flash to the horse stables is a brain dead move
Snapshot editionPrevious thread >>4482160
>>4486996I think your pic could be interesting as some kind of abstract shot, but it would probably be even better if the branch wasn't as recognizable
>>4486997valid criticism, I was going for the contrast between the red and white, maintaining coherent shapes was not a consideration, it's out of focus because I was closer than min focusing distance on the lens to make the bokeh extremely pronounced
>>4486997all the shots in this series were in this vein
>>4486999etc
>>4486998I look at it as I would look at an abstract painting with spots of bold colors. In this regard I also think that the very dark and unsaturated areas (the middle of the branches) should be avoided, but I don't know if it's doable.>>4486999Not fond of the right-hand side here, have you tried cropping it out?>>4487000Bit of the same thing here, I think in general you would get better results if you tried to remove as much background distraction as possible - dark tones especially. This would probably require retaking the shots altogether unfortunately

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.
>>4486697these are pretty good. much better than the usual autistic, anti-aesthetic slop we usually get in here. keep posting saaaarrr
this is unironically a great set, great location, all shots are pretty well done. Great job anonistan!!
>>4486716anon, this is seriously one of the most toxic spaces on the internet. You have good intentions and an interesting place to shoot, but looking for validation or actual feedback here is futile. The only way a photo would ever be appreciated here is if it was a phone pic of the latest and greatest 60mp cam that youtube is shilling
>>4486706Which lens was this one shot on? I've been looking for a decent portrait lens and I love how the shot turned out. Also gj with the pictures and thanks for making /p/ a better place.
>>4486714I like this crop, but for the colors I like the previous one better
Goodbye photoshop.
>>4485933And this is a photo that's very important for you to maintain LR catalog compatibility with going forward?You often go back and make further adjustments to it, and re-make the JPGs?
>>4485968Not often but it happens. I actually won a small contest with a photo from this series. I don't pay for LR though so whatever
>>4485992lol good unrelated anecdote then
>>4485993>unrelatedThere's a higher chance to go back and reedit meaningful photos. Stop coping.
>>4484666It just works.I'm sticking with m0krus that I got a few years ago, Adobe hasn't had a single major update since CS6, so you aren't really missing out.Next time I might just move over to Affinity on the Photoshop domain. Premier already lost me to Resolve.
What makes Japan such an desired place for photography? I'm really trying to understand the hype around it. When I visited of course the size of Tokyo itself opens lots of opportunities but I quickly notice that it gets repetitive rather fast. All muh taxis look the same, the buildings have a pattern that repeats a lot. If you've seen a few shrines/temples.. in the end they all look the same. Even if you visit other prefectures you won't see much of a difference. Whenever I see camera vlogs or flickr uploads in Japan I now tend to skip because it's always the same. My current number one location would probably be Germany. Still safe enough to bring your camera with you, every state has it's own architectural style. Towns are usually a comfy mix between old medieval houses in the center with grim 60s bauhaus constructions that look really odd. Also home of Leica where this sort of everyday compact photography started. What do you think? What's your prefered location?
>>4486686I'd call Singapore Asia lite or a safe "My first trip to Asia" because everybody speaks and everything is written in English. It's also like a fusion of a lot of different Asian styles, so you can get a taste of different cultures very easily there. I absolutely loved it there, but obviously very different.I haven't been to Japan since 2018, but I found you still had to have some "adventure spirit" even in the very touristy areas because of language differences.Also, it may be different due to the level of tourism they're getting these days, but I found the whole "it's so overcrowded with tourists!" to be a bit of a weird statement. Because the touristy hot spot areas were still 90% Japanese people, 8% Chinese and 2% were the rest of us. I was even there during the cherry blossom season one time and it was the same deal.And you pretty much didn't see a single foreign tourist if you walked one or two streets away from the absolute mega hots spots. Seriously, you could be two streets away from Senso Ji in Asakusa and it'd be like you were in a different country. I found it HIGHLY exaggerated at the time, but it may be different now.I'm also generally tired of the whole anti-tourist sentiment. Especially when it's people who behave well.
It's the only place outside of the western world which is modern and highly developed while also having been so for a long time.China/Singapore/Korea might be more futuristic because it's newer but Japan is the only place that can mirror Europe and the USA in terms of having old wealth.
>>4486081I don't even work in a techbro company and like half my coworkers in the 25-40 age range have visited Japan or will visit Japan between 2023 and 2026.
>>4486692I'd call Singapore Asia lite Correct>so you can get a taste of different cultures very easily there. Incorrect, you can get a taste of great Indian food, but you certainly don't get a taste of India
>>4486941I know comparing Little India in Singapore to actual India is like comparing China Town in London to actual Chinese cities, but it's the closest I've been. And only getting that nice little snapshot without actually going to India is fine with me.I always tried to get some Indian food at all the hawkers I went to. It was fucking amazing. I loved being in Singapore.
