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?
>>4502432How many pages was the zone?
>>4486971>>4486970whoever she is tell her that I'm going to jerk off tonight thinking about cumming on her
Tourist from /lit/ here, you guys are inspiring me. I think I'm going to make and distribute a poetry zine.
>>45030048 pages, I did pic related.Did the design for Letter paper, forgot to add bleed/margins so had it printed on Tabloid sized paper centered and scaled to fit. Happy accident that made it a nice size after some trimming with a ruler and razor.
>>4503146that's cool. congrats on 10 years of marriage
Here is a hard truth I have learnt about photography from years of taking photos.If you want to get good at photography on a digital camera it will take about 5-10 years.If you want to get good at photography on a film camera it will take about 1 year.Its insane how much faster you learn when your mistakes come with a much higher cost. Their is no slider to save a bad exposure, their is almost no cropping room to save a badly framed shot. Also you only have 36 shots that you wont even see how they look until a week after you took them.Every mistake you made on that roll will hit hard and you will see it clear as day when you get back your lone 36 photos for the week and have to sit their and wonder why you made every mistake you did.If you learn only one thing from the entire time you have been on this board its buy a film camera. Even if you only used it for a year and threw every photo you took into the dumpster, you would still become a vastly better photographer for it making it worth it.
>>4503185Mostly at 400-800 so I can F8 and be there>>4503206Agreed, it's the only film Ive shoot for the last few years. I was gifted the roll of 400nc (was my favorite c41 film long ago) so I'm having some fun shooting color for once.
>>4502745Nigga cut the pretentious shit. From reading an old kodak handbook you get good at photography in a single week.Photography is not a big deal. There are simple rules and people are satisfied with the minimum. Photography branches out quickly into purpose-based specialty so you don't even need to keep track of progress in so called "photography", you just do what you want with it. Being in a specialty however, you're gonna have to think on how to get a message through and compete to keep your identity fresh. That has more to do with being competitive in your job than saying you're "good at photography"
>>4502753>>4502838Vista is out of production since 2012.Agfa still makes APX (bw) and AgfaPhoto Color (C41), both of which are nice day-to-day films, but nothing special.
>>4502745>harsh troofThe cry of the sub 80 IQ moron. OP thinks he's gatekeeping some incredible barrier and we're all going to look on in awe, hoping to one day achieve what he has. But back in reality, since OP is factually and provably some retarded angloid bog-dweller, his 'harsh twoof' is total hogwash and he has achieved nothing. The rest of us can read, so it was not hard to learn photography on digital. In fact with digital you can learn faster, because you don't have to wait for development and scans to assess your mistakes. You just have to be bothered to look for them. By the way, most people here have never destroyed a roll due to their own fault. White bitches on instagram shoot film. It's not an achievement.
>>4502745>If you want to get good at photography on a digital camera it will take about 5-10 years...if you're autistic.
Spring has sprung editionPrevious: >>4499929
>>4503205I am so sick of this white bullshit
>>4502976I appreciate the feedback! It's encouraging!
>>4502786I love the pic you posted, wonderin' if I share it, would you mind?I know a couple people online who would love it, please reply
>>4503313I would not mind, please share! :)
>>4502084saved. Love the vibe
Do you scan your own film? If so, what’s your setup? Basically everything <$400 looks like crap from what I’ve seen.
i bought the valoi 360 kit and built a copy stand
>>4503057This looks superb.
>>4503101Thanks anon. I forgot to mention what I was using to edit and touch up the scans, which is lightroom with negative lab pro. If you want any tips LMK.
>>4503057is pixel shifting worth it? is there any discernable difference... especially with 35mm?
>>4503312Comparing the m43 pixel shift on to the same setup with pixel shift off, yes there is a huge difference. You get a lot more resolving power. The question is, do you actually need that much resolving power for scanning 35mm film? In my experience, no, it just ends up resolving more grain. The photo I scanned in that example was taken on a modern autofocus SLR with a modern lens and kodak gold 200, and even still, the scanning setup is overkill. Anything past like 25mp is just gunna be resolving more grain. Maybe its worth it for medium format, idk, I haven't scanned any. The only thing you really lose by using it is storage space. If you have it, I would use it just because having such fine grain being sharp and visible is pretty cool, and I think it looks good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy a camera for that.
Give it straight to me, /p/. Are Leica M cameras a meme? Or are they worth it?Mainly for portraits, and rock and leaves.
>>4495880>>4495647Based.>>4495849Cringe.>>4495925>and looks goodIs it the purpose of a camera? No. Irrelevant. Only a superficial hipster larpers would pull this crap.>It's bad for sure but it looks good!Are you a w*man? Reminds me of legging jeans with false pockets.
>>4481813It's another one of those things where if you have to ask if it's worth it, you shouldn't buy itLeicas are for people who have $5000 to spend on a camera. Nobody else.Either you piss money and $5k is a drop in the bucket or you are already willing to spend used car cash and want the absolute best even if the return on investment is nearly null. In which case you don't need convincing.
>>4481813i dont love my m6 but i want to be able to use my 28mm ultron f/2. if i knew what i know now i would have never upgraded to it from a canon p + skopar 35mm f/2.5 which is pretty much the most perfect system i have used. i also have used a bessa r2 or leica cl those were both basically perfect too. people (including me) micro-optimize way too much
>>4481813You're just paying for a name and some presets. They use Sony sensors and you can just load up Leica profiles for your RAW files to look exactly the same as if you had a Leica.
>>4503283Love the 28 f2 Ultron, had first version with my M4-P and now II with my M10
Color Calibration EditionPlease post film photos, talk about film photography, film gear like cameras, film stocks, news, and tips/tricks in this thread.Also talk about darkroom practices, enlargers, photo paper, techniques like dodging/burning, tools, and equipment related to enlarging, developing, and printing.Thread Question: How much time do you spend post-processing (or printing) a single photo?Previous thread: >>4494610
>>4500362I would never buy such a camera, but that is terrible news about the price.
>>4500340Looks neat, I'm gay for point and shoot cameras. I like how you can charge the flash with a usb-c and autofocus. If I had disposable $550 I'd buy it.
NEW: >>4500379>>4500379>>4500379We're cooking lately boys!
for the price of this shit what film camera can you get that's comparable to the new lomo mc-aand won't break down in 3 months
>>4503181Get a canon elan 7/30V

>>4420600>>4505704I am running a 35mm f/1.4 G Master prime and it is a completely different world. It was designed with XA elements specifically to fight coma, so even at f/1.4 the stars look like pinpoints instead of seagulls.Using a consumer zoom for astro is just an exercise in frustration. With the G Master I get about 8 times more light than you do at f/4, which keeps the ISO low and the shutter speeds short enough to avoid trailing without even needing a tracker. If you want results like this you have to stop using cheap glass and get a dedicated prime that is actually corrected for the edges.
>>4505706Pro tip: most refractor telescopes are coma-free. Both visual guys and AP guys will write a telescope off if it's got coma and even normies can tell it's no good so nobody really bothers selling optics that aren't coma-free in that space. All you need to attach one as a giant prime lens is a T2 ring and a T2 nosepiece (or something else with T2 threads on it that can fit in the focuser, some focusers also have T2 threads on them directly).
>>4505642first pics with the diy filterdon;t know if i got the focus right as the tripod was quite low and had to use the lcd screen to check the focus al;so is not the sharpest lens but i m quite happy with the results, now need to catch some plane or satellite passing in front of the sun to get some nice picspic cropped.
>>4508949The Sun should look pretty much pure white through that filter, not purplish. I'm visual only so I can't advise what might be causing that unfortunately. At a guess, if you're using any other filters it might be one of those, or if your camera isn't astro modded maybe the built in filter is causing it? Definitely shouldn't look purple in any case.
>>4509069No other filters were used. Might be the camera. Will play a little more with it. If it s only getting the pink tint and not affecting the camera i am ok with it. I will also check my wb settings, might of played around and gave a slight magenta boost. Will try with different lens but 3 times wider and will see if it s the lens the camera or the filter. Or just switch to b&w and be done with it
why is this guy so obsessed with nikon zr? is it really that good?
>>4503064I've covered a few ZR press events, Nikon is putting a lot of money into marketing for this camera. I would not be surprised if he's getting paid.
>>4503064>Why is somebody whose entire existence is to shill for sponsor deals shilling this obviously unsponsored productIt's sponsored.
>>4503064Yes it is.
I'd get one of the screen could fold down too
>>4503064no
I found this at my parent's house. They aren't photographers but they are filthy hoarders.
>>4503120I don't even have a film camera … yet, but I bet there's one hidden in the house somewhere.
>>4503124Go find it and take some pics. Film photography is pretty cool and the prints can look pretty good.You could take artsy pictures of your parents hoard and then make prints to give them. It could be funny.
>>4503125That's a good idea.
>>4503127There are developing trays under the enlarger, and a printing easel under to cables. Does the enlarger have a lens and film holder? A safelight, timer, grain focuser, paper and chemistry are all you need aside from a light tight room to get started.
>>4503141I have no idea what you're saying, but I eventually will.
I absolutely hate setting up and using a digital scan rig... it takes an obnoxious amount of setup time and space: >is the backlight on/charged>is the macro lens focused>is the tripod + riser putting the camera level + the right distance to the film>is the mirrorless camera charged + ready to goThinking of 3D printing a DupliHood or something but not sure how much better that really makes it. This is all feeling like a very autistic waste of time. Even most labs, if you pay for "high-quality scans" they're still super doctored / not close to raw. I'm not going to pay 1 million dollars to buy a ticking time bomb dinosaur like a Coolscan 9000. I would instantly preorder a Knokke if it did 120. Does anyone have any recommendations
>>4502801Just get a flatbed scanner. They kinda suck for 120/35mm, but you can get them to work well with a bit of calibration and all that.
>>4502801These are all such non-issues holy hell.>thinks flicking an on switch is difficult>doesn't have a charging station for their gizmos>focusing a completely stationary camera at a completely stationary object is hard somehow>obviously I need to HOMELAB a solution to these pressing concerns
>>4502801Isn't the setup usually just a one time thing and you can just scan all your frames?
>>4502861>focusing a completely stationary camera at a completely stationary object is hard somehowHow much do you do this? Every time you even slightly bump any part of the setup it mangles focus. Getting the camera on the same plane as the film is especially sensitive. >>4502865It's not really a one-time setup since you have to recalibrate it every time you use it which involves adjusting all or most of the fixtures.Leaving it up also takes up a lot of desk space
>>4502878I use my normal tripod and a free-floating backlight pane. I just have sufficent space on my table that I'm not tripping over everything.It takes me a whopping 90 seconds to fetch the gear out from their storage and set them in place. I've marked the points on my tripod I've found best to use with faint permanent marker so it's zero fuss going back to ideal distances/angles. If I were being really precise I'd get a 30cm ruler out since my lens gets 1:1 bang on from that distance, but I havent needed to do that since the first few setups.Idk what to tell you, I've never struggled like OP has. Maybe it's the lack of parkinsons or the fact I have a clear working space that isn't crammed in my Hong Kong-style bedroom. >every time you use it which involves adjusting all or most of the fixtures.Mark the adjustments like I have. It does save time.
I'm an amateur photographer, and last year i took some pics (november and december). Here are some of the ones i liked the most
>>4495798>>4495063> Most people don't mess around with the colours of film Although technically correct it's a misleading statement. If you shoot film routinely you will find out the colors are highly dependant on how the scan were made, and many film stocks will look like dogshit if you make them scan by a random shop that doesn't know what they are doing (harmann phoenix...). So yes most people don't edit because they don't give a fuck, yes when you open the jpgs from the shop in lightroom it's already over, but being involved in the color editing process is a big part of film photography in my opinion. And it's actually the same for contrasts, if you are satisfied by the midpoint the scanner from the shop automatically picked for your photos that's great, but if you want a bit of creative control over the image you cannot leave it to the machine.
>>4495009cool contrast >>4495010very blurry>>4495011cool but blurry>>4495012mehCool pictures but the sharpness is shit, are you shooting with an Ektar H35?
>>4495010blur adds to it i like it
>>4495009Oslo er en dass!
>>4495063RA4 printing a color negative is almost entirely a color editing process. You add or subtract individual levels of CMY filters to dial in the print color.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but I might as well as here. I'm the type of person to never take pictures let alone pictures of myself. I want to make a dating profile and I need to take photos of myself. Any tips or advice on that as I feel like my photos look pretty bad but in the mirror I like how I look.
>>4502618Ask/pay one of your friends to use their nice camera to take good portraits of you and then also some of you having fun doing things or whatever
>>4502618>>4502623Bad advice. Pictures being too professional leads to one of two things>1) You get seen as a tryhard. Ick.>2) If you’re great looking, your profile will look fakeThe key is just to be good looking and then have someone else take normal (phone camera) photos of you to show that you’re not a loner taking selfies in the bathroom.
>>4502652>woman gets the ick>anon insecure about ickYou want a braindead npc whore and not a free thinking photographer gf. Sad!
>ctrl f: sqt>noneI'm going to start this one off with a stupider question than usual. Say you were asked to shoot a few wedding shots at the last minute and all you've shot before was rocks, leaves, birds and the odd landscape or building corner... what do? Asking for a friend of course but pls reply quick.
>>4502690someone make a new bread i want to see the effort post..
What is the cheapest camera I can get that's not worse than a phone camera?
>>4502860literally any as long as they have a 1" sensor and not huge amounts of zoom (compromised optical quality)
>>4496091>>4496095I told a guy here on /p/ who people were calling brown (but he said he was white) that if he posted a picture of his hand, they would stop bothering him and get on with the discussion, because that has been my experience on a different board. Post deleted, and a warning for racism. wtf.
>>4493120What are the real advantages of cameras over smartphones?When I watch comparisons on youtube, photos made by cameras and phones often look very similar and the differences are less details which you'll see if you zoom in (because of smaller sensors), or low-level/night photos but certain phones do them quite well.What else?
IG 4 /p/
>>4502475Buy an ad lil bro xD
>>4502475If all you are interested in is validation from other photographers it's okay, you're not gonna reach anyone else though.
Lets talk about Lars Tunbjörk. I’d say he is the house god for us Swedish photographers and wannabe photographers (me).There are a gazillion images and photographers from the US, from the early 1900s and onwards. Just by capturing 1980s and 1990s Sweden his work stands out, add to that his sharp witty eye, flash and surrealism.
just received the new print of landet utom sig.its very good, had a few good laughs, cried, the usual...the MF ektachrome(?) colors slap hard. wonder what sort of flash unit he used, must have been quite powerful.
>>4500446Post photo
>>4500497of me crying? not sure whats that gonna achieve
>>4499839I enjoy his style. Went to the exhibition at Kulturhuset while it was active and got a copy of the book as well.
