>>4507760If it makes you feel any better I've posted a few hundred images over the last few years, some with myself or identifiable areas, some linking to my actual site, and post enough to have a nickname here, and doxxing hasn't been an issue for me yetJust look at what variety gets posted in RPT, most people don't seem to have a problem with dox either

Saw this little guy's nest, but only had 70mm on me. I thought I could get a decent shot of him sitting in the entrance, but he probably didn't like me standing under his tree.

Spring editionAll video related questions and discussion is intended for this thread. Here we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras, and larger) and have interchangeable lenses.In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.>STICKY - https://text.is/QZ1J>Helpful guide, additional books and more in-depth FAQs - https://web.archive.org/web/20200926115310/https://pastebin.com/kG0gRmTZ>NO ONE CARES WHAT AN EXPERT YOU THINK YOU ARE.

>>4507334Based. A music video of me in my old band still gets pretty decent views years later, my guess is it still gets discussed on /mu/ since we didn't hide that we used /mu/ kek.
I bought a usb-c to HDMI adapter for my phone to use it as a monitor for my camera after all the missed focus pulls, overexposed skintones and wrong white balance settings. I can't find a good android app that's not chink spyware that has rgb waveform and vector scope. Are there any good apps that aren't chink spyware? I'd pay, I'd really rather not buy a dedicated monitor.
>>4507779Just get the dedicated monitor
I was hiking last week with my camera and when I reached the summit this couple approached me and asked me if I could take a couple pictures of them and asked me how much it would be. I've never charged for a picture so I said it was free, but they insisted and gave me $20 for like 10 pictures. This left me wondering and I started doing some research. I found out people pay THOUSANDS for shitty wedding pictures, also those shitty car pictures with tons of filters on them, people actually charge money for that stuff. What the heck? does this mean I can actually make money with my camera?

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?
>>4507107Nikon Zfc
>>4507107sony 'evergreen' a6000 - mirrorless, small, good for beginner. I think its around $200 right now, its more than a decade years old, but add viltrox 35mm 1.7 lens on top of that and it'll be around $300 max, this one >>4507109 is better than a6000 but slightly more expensive

Hi /p/Is the DJI pocket 4 the new AudioTechnica M50s for NPC video equipment? I have an iPhone SE3 and am going to Japan for a month. I won't upgrade my phone until the 18 comes out in the fall (phone contracts etc) but my current phone only has 64gigs (60% of it is un-deletable OS files) I was thinking of buying this thing.I'm not a "content creator" but I do get pissed when I'm at a concert and the person in front of me has a remarkably better looking video of the show than I do. I would like NICE VIDEO and NICE PHOTOS regardless of my "creator" status. My budget is $1000. Low light emphasis (spending time in bars with friends) a nice zoom would be cool too for birds/far away things. I don't know what luts are etc so I dont need that stuff. tl;dr looking for a retard proof vacation camera that isn't a phone (I will upgrade when iPhone 18 comes out).
There are like millions of setttings, how do I know which one is the best in my particular case?I've tried to watch some tutorials on Youtube, but couldn't recreate that super fancy feeling you're getting from fashion magazines. For example pic rel is my slop, is it possible to fix it somehow to make it look decent for Instagramm at least?

>>4507674>CPL'spic>low on the totem pole when it comes to portraitsWhat's on top then? Black Mist, or something else?
>>4507772Lighting, composition, posing, editing.Better lighting will improve your image quality more than anything else.Composition and posing speak to the non-technical quality of the image.Lens choice sometimes can matter a lot in terms of the look, sometimes doesn't matter that much.Body gives you a potential top end of IQ, but a bad body + good lighting will always be better than good body + bad lighting. If you're doing posed portraits, you can get as much resolution and shallow DoF or whatever FoV you want too.You don't need CPLs at all if you have better lighting, and you basically don't need them if you bother editing.ND's are relevant if you use strobes in daylight or wide open.Black mist is a stylistic choice, and I use them depending on the mood, much more convenient and natural looking that doing it in post. 1/8 is all you need.
Lightroom is easierJust take better pictures
Anyone getting this? The analog fags crying about its price have not seen top end FF mirrorless digital prices I guess.My main issue with it is that panorama is useless for online sharing, a portrait oriented camera like the Fuji 645 point and shoots make more sense for premium film cameras.
>use normal camera>take one picture aligning right edge of frame on center of composition, take another picture with left edge on center>stitch them together in post with a click>normal 3:2 cameras give you widelux 3:1 in two shotsSaved you guys some money
>>4507680Use 3 shots in manual or AEL to give software room to fix perspective distortion unless you know how to find the lens nodal point have have the right tripod plateAlso step back a bit for crop room. The edges distort when stitched.
>>4507765> fix perspective distortionanon, can you please try to keep up here? the whole point of the 5k camera is to have dogshit image quality and shitty distortion. If you don't have that where is the soul?
>>4507768Have you ever stitched a panorama in your life? Yes you need cropping room and overlapping shots.

>>4507744You need a 4chan gold pass and proof you don’t advocate for overspending on pro cameras “because they still take photos” (lol) to see themI’m also allergic to dogs and cats so if you do too much pet photography you can’t look at my photos because of psychic dander transferance. Sorry!>>4507746Fuji makes better DX cameras than nikon, sony, and every canon that isnt the R7. Their tech is genuinely good. Their autofocus was just unbelievably shit until recently and still is for video but IMO video autofocus isnt a hobby/art thing. Art cinema is manually focused… otherwise film on your phone. Its video. Raw quality doesnt matter for you. Sure stills do, you can zoom in and crop all you want and pick up a 40 incher from the print shop, have fun. But your cat vlogs aren’t making it to the silver screen. Don’t be a schmuck, buck.
>>4507748He cant post first his last 500 shots were all dogs and catsThat’s why he feels a need to justify his r5ii. It has husky detect autofocus and can track a cat doing a backflip. Priorities!
>>4507442Don't care, didn't ask. I'll keep taking pictures with my R5II.
A new R5 is almost twice as expensive as a used, mint copy on ebay in this part of the world.

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?
>>4507304Yeah that one on the low mountain peak.Great photos anon, hope you can go there soon again
>>4507272Nail on the head. Place is mad overrated.
Rain, Japan
>>4507272>>4507362All true, but Japan will remain a top tier photography destination for the simple, sole reason that you can carry a $3k camera with you in an urban area without fear of a violent mugging. It's really liberating.
>>4507482looks good. i don't care, "place japan" is just personally right to me, i like japan. it's aesthetic.
every single time
