Three sciences about light that'll help you understand: The science of photons, electromagnetic radiation, and bosonsTwo technical concepts that'll help you understand how your camera works: How computers work, how chemistry works, and how the mechanics work in a camera. (Anon here like what the fuck computers? Yes anon your digital camera is a damn computer like a smartphone is a damn computer. Hell even in some cases a calculator can be a computer. And the next what the fuck statement is about film photography which is indeed chemistry.)Last thing is knowing how all the programming and placement of the camera functionality is in your camera. Such as knowing what the hell C4k is in a Panasonic GH5 for example.You do all this you would know your camera like a mechanic knows a car. Congratulations you are a step ahead in being a photographer or cinematographer.The most important part about all of this is the hardest part which is does it make sense to you like any other art form?
>>4480588No. I'll tell you what this is like. When the video game Crash Bandicot came out, the developer knew the PS1 so much he put a hack on the game to allow the game to use more data than it should. From doing that, Crash Bandicot had higher resolution graphics than a lot of games on the PS1. The same thing can happen with a camera. Say you know what am EF mount is. You being the common consumer would (I hate doing this NeoNazi speak but I have to to sell my point on this site) have to go to Jew BHPhoto on this site and Jew Amazon to buy new lenses. So now instead of buying from Jews you can buy a cheap lens from a Japanese guy on eBay (Jannies I tried speaking his language). Now imagine the same with lights. You don't want to buy all this expensive equipment when you know from how light works a few cheap high output lights will do. You know from reading the light meter on your phone at daylight there is enough light under a shade for a photo.
New info: light summed up is a quantum function like quarks and leptons.
>>4477837hi, I've learned this statement by heart, internalised the knowledge and took a picture. It looks like shit.

Checking in on all Zachs.
Goodbye photoshop.
>>4484980>>4484981>>4485007If you didn't tell us this was AI, we wouldn't be able to tell. That's how far these models have advanced. Everyone ITT making fun of them would be fooled by these rather minor touch-ups. All of the criticism you see is faux-intellectual virtue signalling.

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?
Stop paying attention to the no photo.>>4482336Just to give an update : my zine project became a light photobook project. I'm progressing steadily with the help of a friend. I hope to release it in February.
>>4487632Raven's test bypasses the culture BS and yet, groids still do poorly.
>>4482336in my experience you don't have to convert to CMYK. The print software will make the conversion automatically. The reason why I wouldn't recommend it, is not all printers are CMYK, many have violet, orange, green, or even red. You don't want your image to be the limiting factor, only the printer.
>>4487640Anon. You're in the zine thread. You gave a perfect summary of exactly what people participating in this thread care about.
I want to buy a Christmas gift for a girl and I thought of a polaroid as a great gift for her. My question to you, /p/ederasts, is whether it's worth it and not just a meme
Seconding the Instax, it's simple to use and fun. Buy some cute film with the hello kitty or barbie or some other childish cartoon and she'll enjoy it.>t. I'm a cute girl and my bf bought this for me <3
>>4482270?????? this is /lgbt/ bro
>>4482272This guy definitely never had a partner to think about giving a Polaroid toThis is an older thread now but girls like Polaroids they’re fun little things to own, I got my gf one one time and she really likes using it it don’t matter if it’s a meme or not if they enjoy it who cares

Sup /p/? I am publishing a zine of anonymous confessions. I'm looking for photo submissions under the theme: confession. Any style. Interpretation entirely up to you.If selected, I will immediately send you a very nice, very large print of your work, as well as a free copy of the publication once it is released.Print will be on Moab 300gsm, 100% cotton rag, matte-finish, archival, art paper.Submit photos at:https://confesszine.com/confessionOr email:info@confesszine.compic related: it's my print shop
>>4484691>I am publishing a zine of anonymous confessions. I'm looking for photo submissions under the theme: confessionSounds like a genuine idea, OP>If selected, I will immediately send you a very nice, very large print of your work, as well as a free copy of the publication once it is releasedSorry if this question seems dumb, how would you know where/whom to send the print and a copy of the zine if its all anonymous? I really want to know how it works
>>4487623i originally intended for the confessions to be anonymous andi figured photographers would want credit for their work.But I have had several submission where the photographer didn't want credit, so in that case there are a couple ways to remain anonymous.1. you don't have to receive the free print or the zine if you are truly concerned about anonymity. 2. you can submit your photo through a burner email and ship to a 3rd party, often times print shops or shipping centers will accept packages on your behalf. just make sure they don't require a drivers license or valid ID. might be more of a problem these days, but back in the day you could pick up any package as long as you knew the name on it.3. you could sign up for my mailing list separately from your submission. i have over 100 people on my list so far and i just started this project. i'm hoping to have several hundred by the time this is ready to release. while this won't get you a copy of your photograph, it can get you a copy of the zine. ultimately, i'll need to know your shipping address, but there will be no way to link it to your submission.
>>4487680>but back in the day you could pick up any package as long as you knew the name on it.Duluth?
>time to confess fellow anons>send me your address >link me to your cloud storage>totally not a fedI have a confession for you, my frog folder takes up more storage than my photos.
>>4487691Screenshot your frog folder with how many pictures are in it and submit that. Seems like a great confession to me. Imagine a huge print in your room of that. wowza!
started looking at photos i shot back in 2008-2010ish and decided to do a dump.

Post photos you like.

>>4486625The lizard’s head specifically is out of the frame because you are forbidden from knowing the identity of the cold blooded reptilians who have arranged the world so excessive industrial output trounces the well being of industrial participants for no particular reason but their adherence to the supreme moral value of currency, which is represented by the treasure chest to the rightThe photo is about a proletarian revolution through the means of their own slavery
>>4486625You mean the easily hateable j… nep… uhhh, photographer thinks all work is humiliating and alienating and cant bear to portray humans engaging in it lest it be expected of him
Which camera bag do you currently own? Does anything currently compete with the McKinnon Sling in terms of price+quality+features? Trying to find one of a similar size that will be comfortable enough for moving around.
I know 2-3 people in the last /bag/ liked my camera bag setup a few months ago, good news is I just saw it show up for sale on buyee. The 80-320mm is a decent tele too for the money if its in decent shape if you're a Pentax shooter but the 24-105mm it comes with looks moldy.Shipping will kill the deal but at least the lens its coming with is a nice bonus if you're a Pentax shooter. https://buyee.jp/item/jdirectitems/auction/l1201632331?conversionType=jdirectitems_auction_DirectSearch#group=nogroup&photo=0
>>4485788I mostly use the 500AW and my sigma 150-600 also takes up most of the space. But I can still fit a couple of other lenses plus some other shit like a small bottle and gloves. It's quite heavy though, the bag itself already weighs 2 kg. I also have the 350AWII but it's too small, my D750 doesn't even fit in height with an L-bracket attached.
>>4487072I have Billinghams that are 20-30 years old and the leather is still perfectly fine. The trim on the new models also seems to be of the same quality in my experience. Just treat it like you would any other leather item (light greasing once in a while) and it'll last pretty much forever
On a related topic, I'm tired of these pleather lens pouches that start to flake whenever you actually start using them, like pic rel. Any tips for replacement?

>>4474364I just saw the way you’ve blended the neck with the white background. If the entire image was blended into the background that way, I think it would be a great artistic effect. Also, since it’s supposed to look “illustrative,” I think, sharpness is working against you. Softness could improve the aesthetic quality of the image.
>>4473351Did you use any flash or reflector so they are not underexposed? By the angle of the sun that guy should look like a nigger
>>4473341you missed a major opportunity not having them kiss so that the sun is between the two of them, and metering off the sunset>>4473342do you have bad knees or something? why shoot from eye level for this?>>4473351this is the best of the series>>4473465>>4473482these are fucking dope>>4473679everyone knows the key to great photos is to leave parts of the body sort of out of frame, not center OR use the rule of thirds, and make sure the horizon's not level

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

Martin Parr R.I.P.Street and Documentary style dump thread
>>4486988Bro, this sucks.I semi regularly pop to the Martin Parr foundation, went and saw his film where he came and did a little storytime at the end and I bumped into him in a cafe a few months ago, said "thanks for the inspiration" whilst spillin' spaghetti. Pour a cup of tea out for a real one :(
>>4487027So you're saying they're timeless?
>>4486988Rest in peace King.Martin Parr was based for not giving a fuck and for making fun of people. Humanity is a not a sacred. More often than not it is grotesque race. Fuck those twitter subhumans who canceled him over nothing. May all of those die painful deaths.
>>4487294He was cancelled when the last resort first came out for doing "exploitative poverty porn", so he did the cost of living next, which had it's sights on the middle/upper class.Anyone trying to cancel him today is just lacking in historical context or an understanding of his work.

>>4487393I'm just wondering if my m43dar is advancing.
How do I get over the fear of using my camera in public? I got a fancy camera but I've never taken any shots with it because I'm too scared to go outside with it and use it
>>4475841I love taking photos of subjects with people around. I like to pretend I am focusing on a building above, then take a quick shot when I lower the camera to make sure I have people, and continue looking up for 2 seconds and move out.
>>4456713Easy mode is to go to areas with nice landscapes and take photos. Does not have to be touristy, can be off the beaten path if you want to maintain introvert levels. Some interstates even have pull offs on scenic routes where there are fantastic overlooks or nice scenes to photograph. Too scared to leave home? Take moon photos via a tripod. Do night shots with long exposure times. Hook your camera up to a telescope.
>>4457542Stranger Danger training plus you were being a voyeur. Unless there is a literal Christmas light show at said home, you should NOT be outside photographing it, there is nothing interesting there. TV and media have conditioned Americans to think you are a bad boi and need a cop-based spanking for doing that, you are clearly a gang member casing the joint to rob it for taking pics. Plus social media is chock full of people shaming others for mundane crap. Camera out = social media whore.
>>4456736>takes pics of random kids playingPedoThis guy exploits people for his own personal profit. Publishes their faces without consent. Piece of shit. Don’t be like this asshole.
>>4456713If you live in a place where you can't carry a pistol, carry pepper spray. Be polite and cordial. There is no expectation of privacy in public. As long as you aren't taking photos of kids, you're fine.
