How would you get the Eggleston look on digital? shoot during sunset, pick colorful subjects, bump up the saturation, increase contrast, deep black levels, maybe add some grain...what else?
>>4296113Who cares? His photos are exceedingly dull and uninteresting. I cannot fathom why you'd want to copy a snapshitter
>>4296114>I cannot fathom why you'd want to copy a snapshitterYet you do exactly that every time you press the shutter release :^)
>>4296114a nophoto
>>4296113If you are looking at Eggleston's work on a screen it doesn't make a difference. What made his colors special is that he used a unique dye-transfer process for his prints which allowed for a wider color gamut than a typical print. They were supposedly impressive when viewed in person.

>>4293465The em5 mark iii is technicall the same cam with a different shell that has better ergonomics. There are some minute differences but generally its the same, but like half the price. If someone is paying for a PenF they might as well update to something newer like the em5 iv or om-5.
>>4295508Correction. Its the mark ii that is equivalent to the penf. Mark iii would be an update to it.
>>4293902I got a Zf recently. The camera and whatnot is fine, the handling is only ok. It's gorgeous but retro designs simply aren't as functional. You put anything other than the 40mm or 28mm on here and it's a chore to hold even with the grip. The shutter being on the top instead of on the grip is weird too. If a Z6III or something with the exact internals existed I'd trade mine for it.

I thought about this. One day, I heard on the radio: "The students of the future will study history in the metaverse." And okay. It's just that then, with AI, they started making fake photos, even with albumin effect, and well made; a few days later on IG, I saw a video of Churchill giving a speech in 1942 against Hitler, denouncing the horror of the concentration camps. It was fake, shot and dubbed through AI. So I thought: what kind of history will the students of the future study in the metaverse? Real, or fake? Very 1984. So I decided to look for real vintage photos, from the mid-1800s to the 1950s, mostly candid shots, mostly private, therefore without surviving negatives. They are images of the real world of the past, without historical or imaginative filters. I scanned them and turned them into NFTs because I believe blockchain technology is the only one - by its nature - that can unite the various metaverses of the future. So these images will survive the continuous and relentless cyclical destruction of paper. I also requested export permission from the Italian State: under Italian law, a country of art, it is illegal to take photos printed more than 25 years old out of the national borders without an export license. So I made NFTs with full intellectual property rights. However, I have the original paper photos from which the scans derive, and upon request, I can send them to the owner of the NFT along with the export license. The recipient of the photograph can decide whether to keep it or destroy it, whether to own a physical or an NFT... but in any case, the image of the real world will survive forever on the blockchain.https://augustojandolo.com/
>>4292761>>4292938>blockchainThere are multiple blockchains and should the one you picked disappear so will the photos. Besides, who guarantees you didn't slip some fakes into the mix? I suppose you haven't but I'm just explaining the conceptual flaw I'm finding. Digitalization of antiques is sometimes the only way to preserve them and make them available at the same time, archives all over the world do that (often ran by museums and libraries but not exclusively). But the cloud is just someone else's computer and we don't know if some day someone will find a way to trim old stuff from the blockchain for example.
Ok. Thank you. So, regarding fakes, they couldn't exist because I always have all the photos screened by state experts first. I only didn't do it for one photo because I took it in France, where there's no need for an export license under a certain threshold value... But it was a single experiment, not to be repeated.Regarding the blockchain and cloud discourse, you're right, there are variables to consider, and currently, we don't have certainty that they will continue to exist. However, we have technological plans related to AI that anticipate their evolution. That's why I've chosen a blockchain close to Ethereum (Polygon, one of its layer 2 solutions): I believe that if there's going to be a next evolution/revolution, the blockchains involved first will be BTC and ETH because they are considered the pioneers and handle the highest volume of information-transactions.I wouldn't even entertain the idea of a potential massive or total destruction of digital data, cloud, etc., for obvious reasons: in that case, it would be an apocalyptic event...
>>4296095>Regarding fakes, they couldn't exist, because the government said they are real>Who cares if this super fragile, non-futureproof medium that stores things as cryptic codes isn't robustBlockchains. Are. Inherently. A. Scam.Only physical things have value. You are buying into hype related to a speculation bubble. I understand it is more difficult to collect and preserve real things, but oh well, you're a kid, that's why we have rich adults running shit like the library of congress.>omg guys cryptographically signed state authenticity certificate!It's not necessarily real. At least you can date physical things. Digital things are arbitrary, it's an honor system. All digital systems are exploitable. There is no such thing as secure and authentic digital communication. Sorry.
Jandolo Ltd comprises expert antique dealers adept at distinguishing between fakes and originals. While the government adds an extra layer of oversight for materials leaving Italy, there's no censorship, even regarding fascism.Blockchain is fundamentally built on immutability, serving its core purpose. It emerged to bring a sense of seriousness and authority to the web, serving as a natural evolution to fortify the internet's structure for future advancements. The only potential scam within such an immutable environment as blockchain might exploit temporal speed, such as rapid financial gains through online trading.Unfortunately, I'm no longer a kid. I have a PhD in ancient topography and a collection of thousands of ancient photographs. I am well aware of the issues related to preservation, with some non-specialized knowledge in conservation restoration and archival matters. It is precisely for this reason that I believe it may not be sufficient to preserve images of the real world from the past solely by keeping them on their original paper support. In theory, it's too risky.Tell me, have you ever looked at the face, the expression, of one of your great-grandparents? There are archives of photos from archaeological excavations, but are there archives of everyday life photos, not artistically rendered? Archives of ordinary people, in short, of real life?In fact, this is an experiment, albeit quite tedious. My only enjoyment in this? That I personally choose what to input into the blockchain and what not to: this, perhaps, is the only filter that could make the real unreal because - due to subjective inclination - it would tend to sugarcoat it. Do you know where I really messed up? Releasing a project like this after the burst of a global economic bubble ahahahah. Don't apologize, there's no need.
>>4296156I have no further thoughts on your project other than "I like it." I hope it works out in the long run, but only time will tell.

>>4296057>>4295992The camera review faggotry just gets worse from here.The infamous dpreview test is very technical and not very photographic. They give every camera the same amount of light with the same exposure settings. If all sensors were the same, every photo would have the same exposure give or take a fractional stop for the light transmission difference (should be under 1/3 t/stop at f/5.6)HOWEVER, not every sensor has the same response, for some technical reason or another, at every ISO setting, sometimes due to old tech sometimes due to a conscious decision to protect the highlights better with a fake ISO or a different implementation of aptina's dr-pix tech. Most micro four thirds cameras in particular run very dark on exposure compared to most FF cameras when given the same amount of light This means when dpreview shows you say, om-5 vs z6 in their test scene, the om-5 is ~2/3s stop darker as shot at most ISOs you'll lookat, and then pushed and white balanced corrected to generate the jpeg on their webpage. This increases visible noise the same as exposure pushes do for every other camera. In real use you wouldn't be going "ISO 800 is THIS noisy!" because the meter would suggest you give the sensor the extra 2/3s of a stop, and you would just do that.
