like oooooh you look lower class I will capture you
I guess she was doing it to make money but the "look at all the circus freaks" vibe just feels exploitative and gross

I guess the stated goal here is "capturing candid reality" but it feels more like mocking those who are different.

It’s degenerate AND they wanted big bucks, and thus took the shortest path which isnt exactly deeply thoughtful shit. Its like photography had a marvel/dc film moment.

I remember seeing an ad for an absolutely rusted out old "rare" beetle sitting in a field where the seller who had inherited it claimed that their grandad or whoever had been offered a specific sum some 2 and half decade ago, with pictures of the car from back then etc, and they "did not want sell below that". Problem is that back then it may have been worth some money as it was somewhat complete, but sitting outside for decades even with price appreciation as these things have become more popular it was still way more than what it was worth in the condition it was in. Guess that sort of thing goes in the family. It is a shame with all these folks sitting on perfectly fixable stuff that they think they can do themselves, but in reality can't only for the thing to sit and rot until they die of old age.

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?

I'm basically looking at these two lenses (second pic incoming) and I can't narrow it down to just one because there are pros and cons to both, in my eyes:
15mm
>super wide, never going to be too close
20mm
>doesn't push the horizon a hundred miles away
>more natural field of view
that's pretty much the pros for both. im not a super deep thinker. all i can think is if I go with the 20mm I'll sometimes want the 15mm, but if I go with the 15mm, maybe sometimes I'll want the 20... jeez.

I'm also thinking of buying it in K-mount since that will let me use the lens on both film and digital cameras without adapters. I have used a 14mm lens before on APS-C and I found it really hard to frame anything like a landscape since everything looked so distant. Never got to use it in a dense urban environment though, or inside much.
>>
I've had the Laowa 15mm Shift and the Nikon 24mm TS - and a couple of things come to mind.

The Nikon was far sharper than the Laowa BUT the Laowa was way more fun to use because of the extreme wide angle.

You cant Tilt the Laowa (Its shift only) so you will lose the miniaturisation/Focal depth aspect - but you would be using shift WAY more anyway. The Laowa can suffer with hard vignetting at the maximum shift. It depends on what you want to achieve. Serious work? Go for top brand. Want to be creative with it? The Laowa is fine (if expensive).

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?

panasonic quality strikes again

im sorry if it was /p/ that told you to buy the s5ii. we have a deranged panasonic shill living here aka menu system autist. he tells everyone lies about canon and sony’s build quality (projecting) supported with cherry picked user-destroyed cameras, lemons, and botched reviews from known bribed youtubers. however it is panasonic that has the ridiculous failure rate and unreliable weather sealing. sony ff products are really good, but they outnumber everything that isnt canon ff combined (sony ff and canon ff are roughly equal and trade #1 bragging rights yearly) so some failures are inevitable. whats important is the failure rate. one busted panasonic is statistically the same as a few dozen busted sony and canon cameras. and to be frank, since they aren’t worth a lot or used as heavily by professionals they tend to not be complained about as loudly as someone’s lemon r5ii.

just never buy panasonic again. i know their arbitrary video features like dci and open gate seem attractive and retard youtubers make a big deal but you can always frame wider and crop. resolution is irrelevant for video unless you’re such a serious pro you’re pushing hours upon hours of footage to another department for more work and need the absolute framing consistency and extra res for vfx and keeping rigging on the outside of the final crop, and in that case you’re definitely not using a fucking panasonic except as a crash cam.
bonus: sony, canon autofocus actually works. shit, even nikon and fuji have better autofocus than panasonic.

First seagull I saw to not eat trash, encountered it on the Island Heyabeliada which is a short ferry ride from Istanbul.

Color doesn't matter.

Today when you can adjust colors just by pressing a button there's nothing more fake than a color.

You should only shot B&W.

Black and White photography is real and pure. Shape, shadow and light - this is what makes your photography look special, not some bright oversaturation. If your picture looks good without colors then your picture is worthy

>The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust has raised concerns over what it describes as the unauthorised use of Ansel Adams’s name and work in an “AI-generated colour version” of his iconic photograph shot in 1942 Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, which was recently exhibited and offered for sale at a major international photography fair.
>In a statement, the Trust said the work “exploited Ansel’s name, reputation, and his most iconic image, while failing to identify any human artist responsible for its creation. The Trust did not authorise, endorse, consent to, or acquiesce in the ‘AI-generated colour version’ of ‘Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico’ exhibited and offered for sale by Danziger Gallery at The Photography Show presented by AIPAD in April. The Trust was not consulted or notified before the work appeared. Once alerted, we reached out to James Danziger in real time, notifying him of the Trust’s rights, and asking for the work to be removed. Correspondence shared with the Trust shows that, despite our formal notice, Mr. Danziger subsequently leveraged Ansel’s name, ‘Moonrise,’ and the AIPAD presentation while pursuing a proposed commercial AI colourisation venture involving other artists’ estates.”
>James Danziger made a response on the Danziger website to Ansel Adams Trust's condemnation by not only mentioning that the image is technically in the public domain, but also wrote: "As for the print itself, while A.I. served as the starting point, the final image involved extensive human intervention, editing, proofing, and refinement over many months."

Hey bro, when you've got a series of pictures, better to put them into a single thread. Or if it's not a large number of pics, consider even just putting them in /rpt/ or some other related general.
Cool spot. I don't think it's (presented as) expansive enough for me to get the "liminal" vibe. But I'm sure there's good shots lurking in there somewhere.

Does the camera/lens mount come with a helicoid?
Good lens, but too long for the type of camera IMO. Precise composition and focusing before infinity will be difficult.
A good FL for cameras like that is usually less than 90. Personally I would suggest either 65mm or 47mm super angulons.
>>
>>4513907
>helicoid?
so it seems.
>focusing
you get a ground glass but for that you have to take off the film back which seems like a bit of a hassle every time. the fella making them recommend you make your own markings and do zone focus, which i don't really trust, so that's a drawback 4 me.
>I would suggest
aight thanks babe.
>>
>>4513909
Oh I thought they didn't come with a gg. I have a graflex xlsw, which is a far superior contraption made from real metals and I use a universal viewfinder on a hot shoe + 69 back + zone focus and a 47mm lens. Never had focusing or composition issues and I never use the gg.
If you want precise focus/composition you're going to be stuck on a tripod with a 105mm, babe.
>>
>>4483539
What is going on here? Is the low contrast because of the fog and bad lighting? Everything is grey except the tree on the right side. How to fix this? would a yellow filter improve when shooting in nature? Some binoculars have yellow filters for more contrast in the woods.
