First time posting on this board. You guys wanna hear something nuts? So, my dad is a photographer. He does all sorts of stuff but mostly high def photos of abandoned places and 360 panos. Anyway, one time he walked into a mcdonalds in our home town, they had a huge television rotate random pictures. He noticed one of them was his. Used without his permission. Apparently, it was a disc sent by corporate. He sued and got a shit ton of money. Wild huh? any other stories kinda like this?
>>4519343What Minecraft mod is that?
>>4519343>mostly high def photos of abandoned placesWhy?
>>4519589Not him, but I think that is a cool genre, so why not?
>>4519612Does he get paid for doing this?
>>4520717nah he has a real job
I'm thinking of getting a Ricoh GR IV Monochrome, but the thing is, can something like a Fuji X-H2 fake it well enough with a B&W film simulation? There's going to be mottling due to differences in color channel noise at higher ISO, right?Damn, it'd be a no-brainer at $1500 but $2100...
>>4520666>Just put in a bunch of effort and you'll see I'm rightI'm not going to do that.
>>4520663I don't have a goyphone. I do have old analogue and old digital cameras. I use them because they are no smartphone and not because they are superior. Currently I mostly shoot 5 Megapixel for sharing stuff with email. I could shoot 8 megapixel, jew the image and reduce it to 5 megapixel so nobody will notice. I don't like using AI.
>>4520665Wait, guys, I think I'm starting to nootice.
>>4520747When did:Click resize image == AI???
>>4516879can you stick it on a tripod, take 3 photos with different color filter and achieve better effects in still photography than more expensive color camera?
Where the fuck did everyone go?
went through this whole thread instead of just doomposting in it. rough count, and this is just my read on it, is that maybe 1/5 of the replies actually contribute something to this meta discussion (captcha friction, demographics, the 4stats.io link someone dropped). the rest reads like filler, or the same handful of anons keeping one gear equivalence slapfight going for 100+ replies. that alone is probably why it feels dead in here more than an actual lack of interest, though I could be off on the exact ratio.what in this thread actually made a post feel worth reading imo: it cited something checkable instead of vibes, it named one specific fixable problem instead of just "board bad", or it didn't take the bait when someone tried dragging it into a brand war. not saying that's a formula, just what stood out to me going through it.if you want this to be your place again: post a photo, make some effort when you reply to someone else's, and if you catch yourself about to post something just to have posted something, maybe don't. skip the "prove you own a camera" bait too, it only exists to eat the thread and engaging is what feeds it.for your own sanity while you're here: 4chan X (or a fork like 4chan neXT) lets you filter by name, tripcode and keyword, so you can mute repeat slapfight participants and brand war terms yourself instead of waiting on a janitor. some forks also let you collapse a reply chain once it passes a certain depth, so a long back and forth between the same two posters stops taking over your view of the thread even if you never mute either of them by name. bans are ip based anyway and pretty easy to evade, so don't count on mod action to fix your experience, filtering does more.tl;dr post pics, put in some effort, don't post just to post, filter the rest yourself

Interesting to see a thread lasting this long, starting out with months-old posts at the start and then, like bumping into an acquaintance in the wilderness or a foreign city, finding recent posts at the end>>4522444>>4523947I'm a /fit/ tourist that got here from a search related to the captcha. I don't know if it is the sole cause, perhaps without it and the wait times, the website would still keep losing users, but I would wager that it is the main and absolutely biggest cause for the decline.It doesn't matter whether it's "easy" or "simple" or sometimes "fun", fact of the matter is that gets annoying as fuck and takes 10-15 seconds or more (especially on phone or touchpad) to complete just by virtue of the motions you have to do - scroll through the images, click next and repeat multiple times, for EVERY SINGLE FUCKING POST. And before that, you have to wait to even be able to request one, and the wait time resets if you leave the thread.Before you'd sit down on the shitter or at your pc and be able to participate in multiple threads in the span of a mere few minutes, now it's a drag with you having to repeatedly complete shitty minigames to engage with the website. Want to post a quick reply to someone, a simple kek, an image or a single sentence? Well hope it's worth waiting 60 FUCKING SECONDS then doing a minigame.At some point you just decide fuck this, I'd rather just not bother, or you go to another thread because of the wait time and forget to come back. And posts get fewer, and the website becomesworse, and so it's now even less worth the annoying minigames, so more people say fuck it and leave and so on it continues until we're here.
>>4524002would it be more enjoyable if there was more variety to the minigames?
>>4524081I guess yeah that would be better, but even better yet I'd like if I didn't have to do them for every tiny post I make. Or if I could batch-solve a bunch of them in advance and then not be bothered when posting. But I guess that'd go contrary to the point of stopping bots.>>Please wait a while before making a post or verify your email here.>try to get captcha on another board before this countdown finishes>>You can now request a captcha (first board)>click it>>Please wait a while before making a post or verify your email here.You can probably keep juggling the timeout like this forever. What a horrid system jesus christ

Who are the todays truly great modern/digital photographers? the ones likely to be remembered alongside legends like Ernst Haas etc?

>>4517866For single birds, that is too short for sure. 300 is too short even on crop imo. The most popular lens I've seen on FB birding groups is some kind of 150-600mm and they mostly shoot at 600mm. But if you can find big birds that are used to humans or you stick a birdfeeder just outside, 80mm could work. The birding photographers I follow often use even longer focal lengths which is why I just watch their videos. I tried with a 200mm and it just wasn't nearly enough.
>>4517895damn, okay
>>4509680hawk tuah
>>4507781The body is round
>>4517866Entry level birding lenses are your standard 100-400mm, and they're normally pegged @400mm. More serious birders will buy super telephoto primes like 600mm f4 or even more crazy. You can't really have too much focal length with birding, but anything less than 400mm is normally just going to be a disappointment.You absolutely can bird with shorter lenses but prepare to buy a ghillie suit and to be camped in one spot for a few hours.

>>4515635very cool, could be an album cover
hai!! ive never used 4chan so im kinda a little confused on how to make postsi thought this was a cool photograph that i had taken on a school camp and i want to show people of the public, i shot this with a panasonic lumix g7, criticism and thoughts would be nice !!
>>4519211>>4519231>>4519233>>4519234It's good for a beginner because I can see you are going for a specific tone in the lighting and colors and you are using subjects to anchor the scene. So you're doing the work to get better.Now for the pictures to get outside of the beginner realm you would need a better cohesive theme between the pictures, or something unique in the style or visual elements. You also need to work on your colors and contrasts. >>4519233is pretty bad in this regard, the colors are unnatural, the contrasts washed out and hazy, and the whites are blowing out.
>>4519211Based West Gippsland enjoyer (I assume that's where it is anyway). First photo is your best photo, but the others are pretty alright considering you don't know much about photography.

Okay it's been a while since we've had these so...Let's start by posting the guy I visualize when I see a streetfag here on /p/. I'll post his work below, he really encompasses the creepy streetfag vibe. He's not unlike the freaks immortalized in Dario Argento's and Brian De Palma's classic gialli. His work is the validation of Susan Sontag's perception of photography as a form of rape.His name is not unlike that of the psychos in the horror thriller canon. Smooth Leg Greg, not unlike Buffalo Bill, Dale Longlegs, or Leatherface.Am I wrong in my perception? Anyways, street photography thread.
>>4519987But he's not a tranny. In fact, /fa/ trannies like MWAHnon have expressed disgust at the fact that he's a "cis gay". He's a wannabe androgynous faggot.
>>4519938He's worse than a zoophile, even the French directors he lives so much say cinephilia is a disease and a perversion.
>>4520008I assume you meant "he likes so much" and no, other than Chris Marker I'm not a big fan of the French. I much prefer Italians.
>>4519977He literally posted photography though. CDS is getting out of hand, he posts and people lose their grip on reality.
This thread is now officially blessed by smooth legs Greg, as seen in the following post: >>>/fa/18748099
I'll start this off, just upgraded from my aging FF to a new APS-C and I feel much more at home. Does anyone else came back to the forbidden fruit?
>>4520694Source of the image btw. It's m43 of course, given that /p is made of refugees from DPreview m43 forum.https://www.dpreview.com/sample-galleries/3632672590/om-system-om-1-mark-ii-sample-gallery/3043540761/
>>4520657>No L-Mount pancakesNot true actually, I checked the website and Panasonic and Leica both make at least one pancake.
>>4520694Who told you that SOOC jpegs have identical resolving power to RAW files on any camera? Just blatantly untrue.
>>4520726A camera JPEG is produced from RAW data which is discarded if in JPEG only mode.On Pentax cameras you can press a button to save the last recorded RAW file from the buffer while in JPEG mode.Sharpness in the RAW data is the same in either process.

>>4519336No problem, and by the way, the 12-60 is still a good and very versatile lens. Compact for hiking, reasonably sharp, you can have a lot of fun with it.
>>4520293I returned my 12-60 quick. Sharp? In a 4x6. Not otherwise. Not if cropped. The olympus 12-45 is actually sharp. I had a bad time with other lumix lenses.>20/1.7Noise banding. It has EMI issues. >45 macroCrashed the firmware, occasionally refused to focus>42.4/1.7Decentered NIB, noisy autofocusM43 is almost good but you HAVE TO only use olympus lenses and olympus cameras. Panasonic is a retarded sideshow. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>4520294My 12-60 (the PL) one is good. All the Panasonic lenses, even the Leica branded ones, have awful variance. Olympus is way more consistent and honestly the cameras were just better.
>>4520299I genuinely think micro four thirds only did poorly because half of it was panasonic. Olympus has so much more experience as a camera company, and it shows. Panasonic is a generic consumer electronics company that uses focus groups, engineers, and committees to design everything. M43 is not appreciably different than canon’s 1.6x
>>4520315I think you're right. m43 comes out in 2008 and it enjoyed some good advantages by being small and all the other mirrorless advantages. Sony comes out in 2009 with its NEX which was just as small and APS-C but the two were pretty competitive for a while but Panasonic got a lot of help from the popularity of the GH series. 2012 rolls around and Sony puts in phase detect and it wasn't until 2023 until Panasonic did the same. That's over a decade of people complaining, rightfully so, about the bad autofocus in Panasonic cameras compared to everyone else especially for video which is why people even cared about Panasonic in the first place. That's over a decade of negative m43 experience because Panasonic was too proud to dump DfD.The m43 alliance was also stupid. Both of them had weather sealed lenses but they weren't designed to be cross brand compatible. Both systems had optical stabilized lenses but they wouldn't work together with the built in systems; it was same brand only if you wanted full stabilization. Even plain lenses had issues like when you could get purple flare if you used certain Panasonic lenses on Olympus. Both companies abandoning the ultra compact body segment is a mistake. Panasonic refusing to update the 20/1.7 pancake to have good autofocus is a blunder. It's a sorry state when a lot of m43 people are hoping the chinese will pick up the slack.
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.
>>4513388I do this with every board, you'd be amazed how many people seethe when you simply ask them how often they engage with the boards topic
>>4513388>No other board ots has this retarded implicit need to provide a photo with any talking point you might submitFalse.
>>4517201One of the easy ways to spot bullshitters is just asking for simple specifics about something, and seeing how they are unable to answer direct questions
>>4508439Photography.Your problem isn't that photography is expensive, your problem is that you're gearfagging. Stop gearfagging and just take nice pictures with whatever you got.
>>4513819Practice makes perfect :)>>4513707Thanks for this anon, I've written down your main talking points for future reference. Renormalise negative criticism. It's okay to be upset at being sold a worse product for more money.
