How long can you let it sit after exposing but before developing? Online I see everything from "you should develop within a few days of exposure" to "you can leave it up till its expiry date no problem". I asked a local camera shop and they said 6-10 months before you start to see degradation depending on the film. Who's telling the truth? I don't remember ever worrying about this back when I was using disposable cameras for everything.
>>4520311Back in 2014 I bought a film that was expired in 2009, and i used it inbetween 2018 and 2023 because I left my camera at home as I started moving abroad. My home country is tropical, so this is a factor too, and I kept my camera in a bag in my cupboard. Got it developed and scanned by my local shop sometime on 2023, but their scan was always kinda shitty. I ended up buying a scanner sometime in 2025, though by that time i think the film has deteriorated even more and I stupidly kept it not so clean.I dont find that much difference inbetween the shots i took on 2018 and 2023, although as explained other parameters could be at play.Picrel is shot in 2018
>>4520365>I dont find that much difference inbetween the shots i took on 2018 and 2023Maybe worth mentioning degradation speed is logarithmic with time. I bought a roll of portra 400 in a shop that was not air conditioned during a 33°c+ heatwave and it was already too degraded for the result to be professional. But i'm sure it could have stayed in the shop for months and I would still have had a clear image, only fogged and color shifted.
>>4520365looks like the streets from eyes wide shut. shame it's so disheveled.
>>4520311I have a few rolls from 2003-2007, I'll let you know. There are photos of a hooker getting arrested on one of them, I'll post those.
>>4520311From what I've been told, it's temperature that matters the most. I had some film that had been exposed and then passed expiry by 3 years and it looked completely fine when I developed it, I didn't need to push it or any of that shit. So just keep it cool and it can last a good amount of time.I think the only thing that is affected no matter what is shadows after some amount of time, so you'll end up with lost details in really dark parts of the image. So maybe develop night photos ASAP in that case.
Who are the todays truly great modern/digital photographers? the ones likely to be remembered alongside legends like Ernst Haas etc?
>>4520640>stop being against the current thing >:(Refugees not welcome. Expand ICE. Fuck palestine. Being a gay half mexican woman is not sufficient to deserve being in a museum.
>>4520650>Fuck palestineI see what the priority is.
>>4520653Any pro palestine break from israel involves refugees and gibs. Its far better to let bibi cook and then abandon him entirely.
>>4520656>and then abandon him entirelyYou say that as though it's a viable option.

>Nocturnal photography (also referred to as night photography) refers to the practice of taking photographs outdoors between dusk and dawn, when natural light is minimal or nonexistent.>The low-light conditions night photographers work in require specialized techniques to achieve proper exposure, including long exposures—ranging from several seconds to days—higher ISO sensitivity, or artificial lighting.>The genre encompasses a wide range of subjects, including urban and rural landscapes, architecture, industrial sites, and astrophotography.Post your night photos!

nightfags, for what do you expose? I'm a newfag and best I came up with is point meter to the brightest thing like a lamp and overexpose by like 2 (my camera only shows scale to 2 and if you're over 2) so it's not blown, and surroundings are still dark cause I don't want a bright night photo
>>4513065Note: this is only a problem if you live in the Eastern Bloc, Detroit, downtown Nashville, New York, SoCal, Toronto, Vancouver, London, or Florida.If you live in a civilised part of the world, then yes you can use a tripod at your discretion.
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

Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras, and larger) and have interchangeable lenses.In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.>STICKY - https://text.is/QZ1J>Helpful guide, additional books and more in-depth FAQs - https://web.archive.org/web/20200926115310/https://pastebin.com/kG0gRmTZ>NO ONE CARES WHAT AN EXPERT YOU THINK YOU ARE.

>>4520613This is the way.Use fixed NDs for maximum image quality and use ISO to adjust exposure. Stack NDs if you need Moar. A 3 stop and a 6 stop ND is usually versatile enough.VNDs are normally trash but more convenient. Don't forget you should be using a CPL and that'll reduce light by about 1+1/2 stop.
I am very nervous about buying a used camera off of eBay but it has the most reasonable prices in the used market. Are my fears warranted?
>>4520642>item isn't as described>return for full refundI just explained your worst case scenario. Don't buy from jeets or obvious fake scam accounts, and otherwise just pay slick attention to the photos.Don't buy from any "THE IMAGES FORM PART OF THE DESCRIPTION" bullshit listings where they don't actually provide a description, as they're relying on you not noticing a defect or damage then being faggots about a return because you missed it in the photos.And always remember the offical FROM JAPAN gear condition tier list>TOP MINTMeans it's used>MINT and NEAR MINTMean it's used and has noticable wear or damage but it's minor>ALMOST MINTProbably actual damage or light issues with optics such as heavy dust>EXECLENT+++++Significant damage or multiple problemsComment too long.

>>4520644Thanks anon. My condition is made worse by the fact that I live in a shithole where eBay can't ship without raping me with taxes so I have to use a forwarder, but I will keep this in mind.

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?

>>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.

Where the hell do you get models these days? It used to be that you would just go on Model Mayhem or find some chick on instagram and shoot TFP but those days are over. I wouldn't even mind paying for a chick's time, but even that seems difficult these days. Not a lot of chicks into "modeling" these days, no websites dedicated to it, etc. I guess they're all doing onlyfans or something. Any way, anyone got some tips?
Facebook model groups in your area or travel to one. >Don't be a fucking creep models can sus that out from halfway across the country>Don't bang the help>Draft contracts and have them sign them it's 2026 you don't need to get MeToo'd>Bring something to the table besides boudoir and nudes in the woods literally every guy has that in their body of workBuT Sh0OgEr YOu'Re A FaT ReTaRdkay I have probably shot more nude work than everyone on this board and I have more booked. If you're not even better than a fat retarded autistic truck driver I don't know what to tell you, get your game up scrub.>>4519797Those three are all solid advice if you're not an incel, I was the one who said this 6 months ago. OP needs to find that thread I posted a screenshot of how I do it.
>>4520062What's the contract for? I'm asking as someone who doesn't want to be a pro, but just wants to take photos.
literally just get chicks through hinge. mention photography when talking hobbies and tell them they'd make a great model after they say "ohhhhh cool!!"
>>4519752Zoomer girls are a neurotic mess who think literally everything is rape. That’s why the supply has dried up.
>>4520511>everything is rapeHot
it’s so peak the best mode for street
>>4520547Reflectance is related to flare but isn’t flare. There are plenty of lenses that are flare resistant but have a slight reflectance haze/contrast loss in normally lit scenes even when they don’t flare. Mostly tamron zooms but also a few sony GMs and kit lens tier glass.
>>4520562Again, element counts aren't any kind of substitute for actual tests for determining contrast.
>>4520565Unless its window glass shit like tamronOr non-S nikkorsOr older shittier sony gearOr zoom vs prime comparisonsThen it works more better
>>4520568not even then
You slowly graduate from using Aperture and Shutter speed priorities and end up shooting Manual.A handy way to remember your set up is I AM SHOOTING (I.A.S.)ISOApertureShutterSet your ISO first. Approximate the conditions in your head - sunny? Low ISO, overcast 400, Dark? High ISO, capturing movement? Raised ISO etc..Aperture second. Again, approximate what you are trying to achieve in your head. Bokeh - wide, Sharpness across the shot - f/11-16 etc.This leaves you with your shutter, which is the most sensitive part of the shot - and you can slightly adjust this up and down to the desired effect.Soon you start to automatically approximate settings in your head and you can even abandon this system - but its a a useful go-between.
As someone who has decided to live without the distractions of a smartphone, can you recommend me 2 cameras?>1 camera suitable for everyday carry (pic related, it's my old camera from the time before smartphones I just dug up, I want to go back to that "simpler" time), recommend me the best there is available today>1 professional style camera, I'm considering strongly the Canon EOS R6 Mark III, not sure which lens to get, looking for a lens that is multipurpose so I can just get one initially
>>4517750To be fair that camera is really old, was not a top tier one hack when I bought it, and still the picture was sharper than the phone
>oh my SCIENCE im a heckin enlightened "dumbphone" user and yes I read Jordan Peterson and Meditations
>>4518318Why does it bother you
>>4517381If you don't mind shitty quality, there are many brand new compact cameras for less than $100€ that just have a smartphone camera build in. no moving parts. just flat device. If you want optical zoom and good quality you need to spend more. Back then you had to pay a decent price $200E to get decent quality too. Inflation adjusted maybe $400€ today.
>>4518340He’s malding because hasidic jews and the kids of tech billionaires don’t use smartphones. They do not get high off their own supply. Kids actually end up with permanent developmental delays from using iThings. Phones are THE goyslop and everything about them is why we’re fucked. Once you get into the master class of society nobody uses them except when absolutely necessary. Smoking a bowl of pot every day is better for you than using a smartphone. Yes, it’s that bad.
>>4512395Yup, up 5ish, usually go for morning walk around 6ish. Love seeing the sunrise, and how the light changes all around.

No exposure bracketing, OP?
>>4514799why?
>>4520492Nta, but he asked because your sky is exposed nicely and your foreground (60% of your image) is simply underexposed.Don't get me wrong, it's not *that* bad because dark things should look dark, but even a mild bracket of 1 stop would have made the foreground actually viewable.
Why aren't you rebadgemaxxing? Don't you want to be a member of the Red Dot club?
