hi. I'm making an evangelion:death and rebirth styled LUT and kinda need some RAW files of japanese foliage of whatever to color match. I wanted the LUT to be as faithful to the reference as possible and the only foliage that I can work with are equatorial ones like palm, narra and yakal (i live in the philippines), so having actual japanese foliage for reference would be a big help.thanks in advance :3picrel (latest version of the LUT. I can send the .cube file if you guys are interested).
>Foliage, Japan :O
>>4508686thanks anon :)
I’m not a photography expert but I have a bunch of .NEF files from my Japan trip I can drop on a gdrive when I get home, those are basically raws right?
>>4508748definitely yeah. thanks a lot.
It is time.
>>4488942You just reminded me of a place I can go take pictures. Neat old wreck, by the way.>>4496156This is literally Windows XP. It's a decent photo though, being shot on a phone really didn't hinder the vision whatsoever.>>4496157Seems like there was some glare. It doesn't always work but sometimes, if I hold my hand up as a lens hood, I can get a lot of contrast back from otherwise hazy areas like the sky on the left-hand side of your pic there.>>4496158Great pic, too, not at all hurt by being shot with a phone.I'm happy we've got this thread. A lot of great photography happens off-the-cuff when all that's on hand is your phone.
don’t go home through the park at nightpeople were hanged there
>>4508751At least no one can accuse me of not posting a phone photo

The "I'll Do It" EditionPreviously: >>4505100Thread Question:>Why are you a photographer?
>>4508740I meant more about the overall look. I can do the composition, but my shadows always look ass. I think I just have no idea how to make shadows darker without them being overly crushed looking.
>>4508728Stick to it.I'm not active on IG, but you can find me on FB: Kansas Kino Photography
>>4508741Lately, I’ve trying to expose in the camera for my highlights. I guess it’s the ETTR exposing technique or something like that. In the post production, I’ve turn the highlights almost all way down and the shadows all way up. Create a faded curve with contrast in the darker parts. In the color profile, I use the Modern 08, it gives a little more faded effect.
>>4508743> I’ve trying to expose in the camera for my highlights.Same. Strange how despite using RAW, pulling down the shadows makes them look shit, but getting it right in camera at the time doesn't.
>>4508744I normally adjust the dark tone in the exposure and bring the shadows almost all way up to get more information in the shadows. I think this way gets a little more moody and fluid, with a “washed away” vibe.

>>4507052Very nice. I did a passenger lap in an F-Type around the Ring a few years ago when Jag had Dale Lomas doing rides for them. Was absolutely mega, and sounded amazing.
>>4507063It is a magnificent animal. One of the last real wild things to be produced on that island. Good subject to try out my, "new to me", 300mm f4.
>>4507143Absolutely - I look forward to seeing some results
New thread: >>4508732
What's the best one you've used? and the worst?What's the minimum amount to spend, and when would you be spending too much?How much of an improvement did you see in your photography when you started using one? Did you get better results, subjectively speaking?Picrel is the uber-shiny ultra D-LUX filter from Hoya and I don't know if I need it. I know I need one of these filters, though. My landscapes have very hazy skies and are overall somewhat low-contrast.
>>4508708Not unless the background calls for it. It won't do anything for your subject and it inherently absorbs a few stops of light so you'll have to compromises on your exposure settings.
Combination of Hoya and Tiffin. I lean towards Hoya for general ND/CP etc and Tiffin for more specialised stuff. Mist filters etc.I hate K+F - I've had too many bad experiences with their filter threads welding up. And because they make the rim ultra thin, getting the filter off when it is welded can be a nightmare.
>>4508724Slightly annoying to carry something extra - but I bought the filter wrenches and they do work superbly well for unsticking locked up filters. I've never had an issue after buying my set.
>>4508638Looks like a texture from an N64 game
>>4508661>>4508682K&F is notorious for the color issues, I don't know why people still bother with them.
Chance Encounter editionI was going to snap a picture of a flower when this Saffron Finch came flying and stood on one of its branches>Previous Thread Image Limit Reached >>4500320
>>4508635Which lens is that? I've been contemplating getting the 500mm tokina, since it's so light and cheap, but I'm reading conflicting reports about the IQ (by reflex standards).
>>4508641That's with an old Jupiter 11, 135mm/f4. I'm mostly carrying around vintage shit and am still a complete amateur at this.These>>4507849>>4508476>>4508538are all Tokina. Mine is from 1991 and all those images did receive at least a minor edit and crop. Primarily for missing contrast and being hazy/washed out. Even though it's f8 its DOF is crazy thin. Picrel is one out of maybe 15 shots of this fast little bastard that's even remotely sharp. I can't say I'd recommend it without knowing more, a regular lens will always be sharper than it and maybe getting a TC instead for one of your faster lenses would be a better choice.
i really hate birding
>>4508635Sharper for sure but I love the flowers and lighting here. So relaxing. It would make millions in body mists or air fresheners
>>4508691I wouldn't bring a big, heavy lens with me most of the time, so spending a lot of money on it feels like a waste. So I spend it on multiple cheap things of questionable value instead. Picrel is 180 AF-D with TC-201 (heavy crop). I leave that at home most of the time though.
Any cheaper hobbies to replace photography?Photography was a reason I'd blindly go walk into a nature reserve, I don't want to lose that without some form of alternative.
>>4508665>photo thief fujislug is also a glamping redditorMy tent and backpack were $150 between sportsmans warehouse and army surplus. Then I bought a .40 magnum glock for $500 at a yard sale in case of bear. Git gud.
>>4508669Based mountain man saving his money for full frame
>>4508669What kind of tent and backpack do you have?There are lots of good cheap budget options I could recommend for OP, but if you do a lot of backpacking, eventually you'll want something a bit nicerWhen I said bear canister, did you think I meant bear spray? Sounds like you don't actually go backpacking lol
>>4508671Bear canister? You mean a tarp and rope?
>>4508625>My point is just getting more bang for buck . Instead of spending 1k and having low-medium end gear. I'm looking for a hobby where 1k would be medium-high instead if that makes sense.why would you NEED cameras that cost more than that for hobby purposes?
Previous Thread: >>4408437My astronomy club is doing an outreach on smart telescopes in a few more months so I decided it pick up an S30. Its been delightful so far; setup is a breeze compared to my primary rig. Think it will be a great little thing for more casual imaging. We're not in the best time of year for my FOV, but I was able to get a little time in on M5.
>>4508706Filmed this about 30 minutes ago but the fog is starting to come in, as said I just wished it could go at least a bit wider without switching to another camera and having the quality take a nosedive.
>>4508706Really depends on what FOV you need to fill any gaps. If you already have something with a deep view, I would go S30 pro. If you only have wide angles available, I'd go with the S50 pro.Your image would benefit from some SCNR. Unless that green is coming from aurora or artistic preference, consider limiting your green channel. Great picture btw.
>>4508709example
>>4508709Sounds like I should just get the S30 then, as for >>4508710That's amazing, saved, thanks, my Samsung S25+ usually does it by default on Expert RAW and I have no idea why, I tried using GIMP and some guides to get rid of the green and red with disappointing results but you've done it perfectly.
>>4508712I did it in Pix but that's a paid platform. You can achieve the same thing in Siril which is free. Very easy to do, check it out if you need to remove green sky glow.
starting a new one since the last one is reaching limitI recently bought myself a new softbox, the exact one in pic, and it works surprisingly well. The issue is that it won't stay open all the way, so I need something to prop it open. I've found that using a credit card and ID card work pretty well, but I don't plan on using that for obvious reasons. Anyone have any suggestions to help a retard like me, something light and small?
I somehow got some dust inside my tamron tele lens.Looks like is normal to get dust inside tele lenses that extend/retract externally Lens is <1y old. I still have 4 years warranty. But dust particles are visible in all photos at all focal lengths at >for 9Watched a couple of yt videos. And raking the front lens out and just blow the dust off look relatively easy.My main concern is the signs that it was opened and lose warranty in case the lens failsAnybody has exp with this? Does it worth taking the risk? How offten do lens motors fail? Should i sent it repair store just to get overcharged 15-30 min job to blow the dust off?Weather sealed my ass.
>>4508689Some dust is investable for any lens, even the robustly weather sealed ones, not really a warranty issue lolIf you're seeing it on your photos though, it's probably on the sensor not lens
>>4508692Already checked is on the back side of the front element. I ve checked the sensor. Tried with different lens.Is only visible at >f9 against light areas, sky white walls etc.
>>4508692I mean if i will open the lens to clean it, if during the next 4 years the lens motor or something fails they might cry that i opened the lens so they can refuse to repair it under waranty. That is the only reason i didn't open it already. Seems like the front cover has some glue spots that will need to get removed after so will me easily visible it was opened
>>4508693>Is only visible at >f9 against light areas, sky white walls etc.Well good thing it won't ever be visible in practical shooting then
How do you change your camera settings when you want to photograph a black person?

It's like taking a picture of a sewage, go to your local sewege and spend an evening capturing whatever you find
>>4502169I'm not interested in wildlife photography, so no.
photos of my cat Rupert that i took on my phone which at least trace amounts of thoughtful composition, as per the board rules I like this shot because it really focuses on his face, which is cute
>>4508622She was just asleep in that photo, by the way.
>>4488893What's reddit tier is that you didn't even post annimage of a dog, faggot
>>4508623This is a pleasing photograph. I think you've captured light hitting a cat in a very nice way. Good job.

hi /p/i don't have a digi-cam but i think i would like to get one, for trips and vacations where i don't bring my phone along.if i buy one secondhand or via a flea market website, what keywords should i look out for?Like, "sony cybershot", or alike?Sorry in advance for ruining a thread for this question!
>>4508645don't buy via a website they're likely to be horrendously overpriced because of tiktok. There's thousands of digicams it's kinda pointless to ask what to look out for because we can't give any specific details about what you may find second hand. You'd need to look up on the web to find a review of it, maybe someone had done one, maybe not. But I can tell you the basics you want in a digicam:1. flash (a flash basically makes everyone look better lol)2. you want it to be pretty clean, no rust in the battery compartment (if it has one). You want the leans to look clean too. No mould, no gunk.And actually that's all I can think of, off the top of my head. But yeah looking for 'sony cybershot' is a decent way to start because sony cybershots were a huge chunk of the digicam ecosystem. But there really were just so many different brands and types of digicams it's honestly massive lola youtuber has probably made a big review video of all the common digicams
