What do I say when normies rebuke me for taking pictures of people in public without their knowledge?
If I say they're in public and shouldn't expect to never have their picture taken; they still say it's creepy, voyeuristic, and an invasion of privacy.

Hey /p/, after years of slowly learning the basics of photography, I think I'm ready to get into the world of portraits. The one small issue is that I don't have any good sources of references other than here for learning the different poses, angles, lighting, and everything else to make decent photos. Don't get me wrong, there are amazing threads that pop up here, but with the gear talk and the shit posts, I really want to branch out and find some from the outside. Instagram is what most people say, but I also want to find stuff that's unconventional or just really creative. So are there any websites, books, or photographers you anons can recommend to check out? Also would love to hear some tips and pointers for a noob like me starting out, especially when it comes to "directing" and posing a model

I’m thinking of getting a shift lens but I understand a view camera can make the same movements, and tilt-shift lenses are also available for most ILCs. Have any of you used a shift lens, tilt-shift lens or a view camera? What did you use it for? What was it like using one? Frustrating? Simple? Did you need any other accessories to make the process work? How did you like the final results? Was it worth the expense and effort? Is digital perspective correction just as effective?
Now that I’ve really begun to focus on perspective in my images it’s all too obvious how even a small tilt of the image plane away from parallel with the subject causes distortion. Do you care about keystoning in your pictures?

Do you know of any examples where these lenses are used on actual miniature scenes, or macro (close-up, at least) photography?
>>
>>4514872
Most people will use a technical camera with bellows instead of a T/S lens for those things. You get much better flexibility/control.
>>
>>4514873
I get that. Was just wondering what effects it might produce.
>>
>>4514878
Works the exact same for macro except you need a lot more movement to shift the focal plane or change perspective the same way you would at lower magnification.
Focal plane shifting is basically obsolote outside of creative focus because you have focus stacking.

So apparently it's free on some race days, neat.
It was a good occasion to use a new camera i never used before (got used from a friend just 2 days ago). A huge upgrade from a 1200d to R6m2.
Some attempts were made. Resuld were bad, but i had fun. I really need to learn how to use this machine

I find iPhone photos oversharpened for any subject.

What I tried:
> Stock camera ProRaw
can drop the sharpness in post (mobile Lightroom) but NR is baked in so you still get a smeary look. Also a hassle to deal with Raws on a freaking phone.
> Lightroom camera
Pure, unadulterated DNG raw. You can drop both NR and Sharpness all the way and get the most natural look probably. Raw management is also easier because it doesn’t go to your gallery and stays in Lightroom. But you only get 12mp and limited dynamic range because all the AI magic is gone.
>Project Indigo
I have a love-hate relationship with this one. It does crash occasionally losing shots which is a massive dealbreaker. Sometimes it looks really good, sometimes not so much. It does have that AI look also if you zoom in, but it’s acceptable. And it shoots the exact same RAW as the Lightroom app so you could fix it if you really want.
> Halide
I found it quite inconsistent and ultimately you get the exact same thing you can get with Lightroom but for free. I’m really not a huge fan of paying for something that should work on my phone already.
>Leica Lux
Surprisingly good actually. If you ignore all the paid memery it actually does all the basics for free with no annoyances. Standard profile has pleasing, accurate colors, tonality and it just a heif so you don’t need to bother with removing embedded raws to save storage. Sharpness surprisingly seems to be toned down.

I am now noticing there's way too much grass in other pics i took there. I do like lots of green for some reason, but especially after seeing the other anons better edits i see your point
>Here you could have used the river, or even better, the cows.
I wanted to have the river more centered, starting from the bottom getting into the village, and keep that gorgeous mountain in the back, but due to other fences being present i couldn't get closer to the river.
Are there other ways i could have taken a better pic? Since i might go back there by the end of summer, i want to retry doing a better job

Nah he's exposing for an extreme dynamic range scene, he's already clipping windows at this point and should have exposed for less time if anything.

Photographing dark night time scenes doesn't mean your photo has to end up being bright.

Buy a LA-EA5 adapter and experiment with some <$100 Minolta Autofocus lenses. 50mm f1.4 (Sony or Minolta), 28mm f2.8, 35-70mm f4, 35mm f1.8 Sony, 135mm f2.8, APO 100-300mm or 100-400mm, and a fast zoom like a 28-75mm f2.8 (Tokina ATX Pro, Tamron, Konica, etc).

A6600 is a great body and still $1000 used. All the newer bodies will give you is slightly better DR + autofocus and better video capability. Instead of wasting $2000-3000 (body only, chances are if you have APSC lenses you'll probably have to sell those too and pick up FF E-Mount which is $$$) just pick up a $200 adapter and $200 worth of lenses and have fun.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/800210087128

Again, a a6600 is a great camera. The only thing better is a entry level FF mirrorless (a7iii, R8, Z5ii) or a a6700. Even the improvements in AF aren't worth it if you don't have a fast lens that can keep up imo. Its not like you're coming from a a6000 or a Rebel.

>>4514995

Agreed. Once you have it and the novelty wears off you'll have a camera with <500 shutter counts waiting to get traded in sitting in your closet collecting mold.

That’s what pushed me towards getting a Fuji also. Sad, because I really liked early iPhones specifically because they used to have a natural pleasant rendering compared to your usual android.
Sometimes I think it’s just nostalgia but then I go back and look at the photos and they ARE better in every possible way.

Sepia photos always make me think of a big city in the 40s and 50s for some reason. I never seen any modern photos with the look though, it seems like normies just hate it for some reason.

I thought sepia is retarded but now I see what the point was. Even it being monochrome it looks more colored and pleasing to the eye than BW.

I prefer normal selenium toning since it's more subdued and neutral but night time city shots always look great in sepia.
