I'll be out-of-topic with my question, but I think video anons will be the most knowledgeable. I'd like to get an anamorphic lens without breaking bank too much, if possible. It actually will mostly be used for stills. Yes. At best I'll make a 3 minutes video compilation when I travel on some other trip abroad, but that's it.I experimented with the 1:2.4 ratio with crope cope, and I just love it. Which is why I'd like to go further, for ''fun'', nothing professional. Just the fun. Which is why I like interchangeable lenses cameras in the first place.I'm thinking of the Sirui Saturn series, likely the 50mm, it looks like it fits the requirements, and is on sale right now. Any opinion on them? Their 1.25x adapter that can also be used with regular lenses doesn't look like it will fit the bill.The next big step would be those Blazar lenses, I guess. Pricier but also faster and with AF (though it seems AF comes with limitations on anamorphic lenses). I'm on E-mount FF, so no open gate but I can live with it for my light use.
>youtube has it made it so it's no longer possible to search videos in order of most recently uploadedI just don't understand why? All this does is make it harder to see new shit. I'm not going to watch their algorithm-approved crap just because they refuse to show me all the smaller videos with less than 50 views
>>4497019I took my vazen 28mm1.8x anamorphic lens out with my gh6 to take widescreen photos of a waterfall near where I live. Using anamorphics to take landscapes and cityscapes is fucking cool. Here is a link to the photos I took with my vizen 1.8x lens since I can’t upload anamorphic photos on 4chan: https://ibb dot co/WrWvZNF
>>4496956It is much better than I expected desu. The night scenes in the uncompressed video also don't look that bad actually. I always just have to push down the exposure for the night scenes to look decent.Still I would really like to film scenes in the night or with little light that are sharper and don't have this bloom and lens flare effects.But on the other hand the iPhone is really practical and doesn't draw any attention.>>4496985Thanks man. I agree. Just sometimes the iPhone footage looks a bit too iPhone-y? Like it raises the shadows, which often looks good but I find it sometimes looks better having darker shadows.
>>4497044I often have better luck finding good videos via google than searching directly on youtube.

The camera's fine, but you should straighten out your shot.
No, but you should improve your shot and, above all, make the most of your camera. Even better if it has optical zoom, because you can take some great photos. Something like the Basilica of Guadalupe in the GAM (Gustavo A. Madero)

I need a decent camera arm with a 3/8" bolt to screw into my desk. I'm currently using this cheap chinese arm, and it works alright, but the clamps are a little weak, I'd prefer something in a similar form factor with splines or better locking features.

Couldn't you videofags just buy a dedicated camcorder instead of trying to force bodies shaped like stills cameras to fit your specific needs?Magic Lantern and the subsequent domino effect of hybridization have been an absolute disaster for the industry. Cramming high-end video specs into stills bodies takes far too much design budget away from things that actually matter to stills shooters. You already have this nifty thing called the camcorder that you've always had at your disposal to buy instead, so go fucking get one of those. What's that? You'd rather get a half-gimped stills camera that could never actually live up to your video-first expectations no matter how much R&D is unjustly poured into it? What the fuck is wrong with you?If I hear one more thing about an SLR- or rangefinder-shaped body needing such esoteric specifications as "open gate", "external SSD recording", a "heat sink" or "ProRes RAW" I am seriously going to lose it.
>still somehow getting jobs with my Canon SL1 + $80 lenses (1.8 & 2.8 pancake)I should probably upgrade at some point. De-noising is such an issue when people want portrait shots done at night. I was thinking of getting a 5D MK. III because I still really do like DSLRs, and they're also a lot cheaper.

No, I'm looking to do portraits, headshots, and such, but architecture is good for practice because it sits still.>did you take these last one wide open with a longer exposure time?No. I try to stay at least one stop from wide open unless needed for DOF or low light.

What's a man got to do to optimise prime lenses here? I want to take reasonably good photos without breaking the bank but I feel like I'm getting bogged down by the maths. Will I always be held back by this unexceptional camera or is it perfectly capable if you're not a retard?

>>4496984>Not the cameras but the software and processing. Traditional camera makers are lightyears behind.Lightyears behind of what? Ugly deepfried mush? If so, I'm glad, and I hope they never ever "catch up".We use dedicated cameras to retain the characteristics of the optical system, not to airbrush them away with cope NR algorithms.
>>4495591Why do you even want a phone that is a 1inch sensor camera? Phone cameras are only useful for scanning QR codes and sending nudes. Your not going to use it to make any sort of important art or photos. It's just another gadget to trick you out of your money.
>>4497017>We use dedicated cameras to retain the characteristics of the optical system>"Many of today's camera lenses now rely heavily on digital, in-camera, or software profile corrections to produce straight lines"ohnononono
>>4497037Correct, and it's a plague. As for me, I only shoot with adapted lenses right now (and if I were to buy a native lens, it would most likely be a third party one where such baked in auto-corrections typically do not apply), so my practicing is perfectly consistent with my preaching. Better luck next time.

Insanely good deal on a Sinar P 4x5 with 4 lenses, copal shutter accessory, and a few other nice accessories+case on ebay right now. All you need is some film holders to get started shooting 4x5.
Recommend a good camera for a beginner, I've tried a few but they all seem to commonly display interscopic flare and framebleed.
check the wiki nerd
>>4496972>interscopic flare and framebleedThese are pictorial STDs (Shutter Transmitted Diseases).A common issue with high shutter count cameras.The best way to avoid them is to look for telltale signs such as loose aperture, wobbly dials or Snoy branding.
>>4496972>read the sticky for fuck sake anonAny APS-C DSLR off fleabay for $100-250 will set you for most things. Bonus points for Canon and Nikon because there's lots of solid cameras for dirt cheap with a big lens ecosystem and above average results.For a bit more money something full frame like a D700 or 5DII is a step up, if a bit more expensiveYour lens dictates how the photo comes out more than the camera body.No matter what you buy there is a dozen different anons that will shit on you for your choice.

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?
>>4496762lol cope. Greg Girard's work bodies all this Jap vending machine nostalgia shit.
>>4484375When you go to japan as an aryan white male to take photographs, it will attract the attention of local females. They wish to know everything about you and your camera. In addition they will submit to you (a white male) sexually, no matter if they are married or dating a local weaker, lesser non-white male. And as a bonus, you can also assert white male dominance to the "men" of the area if you are into that. The local photographers will get rock hard from the thought of their girlfriends giving pleasure to the white gods.

Hello, /p/. I love traffic lights since I was a kid, and I'm trying to take pictures of traffic lights. I'm still learning the basics of photography, so any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope one day I can afford a professional camera, but for now they're shot on my shitty phone camera. Thanks.
This is one of the last remaining 3M traffic signals in use, and I wanted to capture it's uniqueness at this angle. You can only see the current light of you're looking directly at it's direction.
This was in a fairly popular vacation town; it is still using a prototype LED 8' light for a green.
This light while not new, had it's bulbs changed recently after some maintenance work was done on the road recently.
This one is a bit sloppy, as I finished a 10hr shift prepping for the new subway to open. The light was installed after the station was renovated.
>>4497005>>4497009Apologies on the photos being at the wrong axis. They looked normal on my photos app. I don't know why they got rotated.
Well I ordered a used Fujifilm GFX 100s for 3k and the Gf 50mm f3.5 for a little over 600$. I've been doing a series of suburban/urban landscapes late at night and was previously shooting with a Nikon z7ii and the 35mm f1.4 and Voigtlander Nokton 40mm. I think the 50mm should be a pretty good light weight option but I was also looking at adapting some pentax 645 and Mamiya glass. I've also heard the Mitakon 65mm f1.4 is pretty good. Any suggestions or tips for someone who hasn't ever shot digital medium format?

Rate my snapshits
Post cut because 4chan thinks this is spam.I'm gonna be honest, it's quite bad.Most of these are badly exposed:>>4493929>>4493933>>4493948>>4493935>>4493934and as a result have weird colors >>4493929>>4493945This is mainly because you shot those with very harsh light. You need to learn to recognize when there is good light and expose correctly. I recommend understanding exposure by Brian Peterson.
Secondly, you need to work on composition. Shots like these>>4494060>>4494084>>4493957 are very dull. I have no idea what it is you think is worth seeing here. Photography works by discrimination, you have to isolate the picture you want from the rest of the reality in front of you.
Finally, here are shots I think are better than the rest.>>4494067Correctly exposed (a little underexposed but it was hard because the sun is not directly hitting the land in front of you while the sky is still bright) and colors are good, notice that this is because you shot under good light. Sharp focus on the sea creates pleasing textures.>>4493986Here clear separation between different textures makes a cool minimalist picture. Also, correctly exposed despite the expired film.>>4494349Harsh light but exposed correctly. I like the white arches.>>4494059I don't really like this one but I see you tried to do something and that makes it so much better than any of the random snapshits.Thanks for the photo thread
