Here's some terrific quality film photos with photographer credited, and also the gear and film used. For educational purposes and purposed of discussion.
>>4407610It just strikes me as weird that a nature photographer would even take a 24mm lens with him. Given the time it was taken it probably wasn't a particularly bright lens so bringing it on an evening shoot seems pointless. Makes me feel like its staged. The other thing that is odd to me is the deer look like they're two of the exact same plastic model, just one further away or smaller and rotated a bit. I guess it could be real but it just looks fake to me. I've seen a lot of shitty photoshop jobs in newer calendars so I see no reason why that would be a new phenomenon.
>>4407616It's taken really close to detroit, so it's probably planned. Wait for good weather, know a good spot with deer, then just try. 1/30 is quite reasonable for that FL, but at f/8 feels too fast for ISO 100? It is heavily backlit. Feels completely possible to me but could be staged too.
>>4407535Plastic deer would mean that the picture is actually the slightest bit artistic rather than some boring and smelly animals just randomly and meaninglessly showing up. Anyone could take that picture with a cellphone, but who has two plastic deer that they use with INTENT to produce something they would proudly proclaim is art? The image is devoid of all meaning, but at least that GWAC tried his very best to make a pretty pic.
>>4407635Real deer or not its better than your snapshits either way.
>>4407636I don't post my artwork here, gwac normie. You lot are entirely undeserving to even cast a gaze upon my real and meaningful art-work.

>>4407577You've basically strapped a basic telephoto lens to the front of your phone lens. Binocular optics are not ideal for camera sensors, but as long as you get the focus and distance from your phone's objective lens correct, it all theoretically works.Same concept of people hooking their phones up to telescopes.

>>4407201I like this, but I think you could have done more with the composition. Trying to get an S curve or some kind of leading line out of the water to the tree would be good, or playing with the visual balance of the slightly left leaning tree. I'd also consider deepening and saturating your blues a bit to create more color contrast with the grass. Nice work though.

>>4407467She used to have a silver EM1 mark 1, and used the in-built filters for her instagram, yes. There's plenty of pictures of her using it out there, I doubt she still uses it, it's pretty old now.
>>4407433The Dial is the worst and dumbest fucking gimmick.>SooC jpegsShit. Shit across the board, really, but especially shit in M43-land. Some of those bodies and lenses can get images that are surprisingly sharp and naturally high contrast in raw form, but then the jpegs just BARF excessive noise reduction all over everything and then try to sharpen the blurry resulting mess, even with your camera's settings set to minimum/off noise reduction and sharpening. Absolute buffoonery.
>>4407459yes, what do you have against them? do you think the only fucking company in the world who has decent jpegs is canon or fuji or something?
>>4407467Of course.
For decades boomers held back the evolution of photography. Now hipsters have joined them. Today modern digital cameras are still designed as if it was 1995. Billions of dollars over the past 30 years has been wasted by corporations designing digital cameras around designs of 1950s film clunkers. The world of photography should have moved on from film and its janky designs twenty five years ago. Cellphone companies certainty figured this out. Now they are eating camera companies alive. How embarrassing.Fuck retarded photographers and camera companies for not pulling their heads out of their ass. There is literally no rational reason to be using film today besides hipsters shitting themselves over bygone aesthetics. This is especially true since 99% of their shared film photos are DIGITALLY SCANNED AND UPLOADED TO THE INTERNET!!! There is certainly no reason for cameras to be be clunky monstrosities either besides boomers nostalgic for the past and retarded corporations catering to them. God damn, film and its antiquated designs still hounding photography. Film and its lingering stench need to die already.[EXIF data available.

It's a good day to be a M43 chad. >Compact early SLR design with weatherproofing>pen F dial for people who like taking pictures instead of gooning in lightroom for hours on end> OM-3 Kit with 12-45mm F4 Pro £1999 or £1699 for just the body>new weather sealed compact primes>perfect camera and system for pretty much any kind of photography outside of extreme low light and niche studio work (which should be using medium or large format anyways)If your not a self hating sensor size queen doesn't this seem like the perfect everyday carry? Nothing can replace film but at least for digital shooting this looks perfect for most use cases not covered by the OM-2 Mark ii.
>>4407078the only panasonic I have is the 20mm. I think the 25mm I had and sold didn't have an aperture ring
>>4407148>no one can tell no one will care i promiseI can tell in the same situation even if you can compare a shit ff pic shot with an entry level tamron prime to a base ISO mft pic shot with a $2000 f2.8 equivalent "noctitroon". Apples to apples mft just looks like shit and in more ways than pixel peeping noise. If you dont pixel peep its actually more obvious. FF shots have a richness and depth even at so called equivalence.

Best one I've ever used so far was Kodak Gold 200 due to the vintage look and warm colors and Ilford HP5 for contrasty street photography.Worst was Fuji 100.

Let's see, best? I like ilford fp4+, that's what I always use. Velvia 50 for colour, but keep in mind I haven't used it since it was brought back, that was ages ago... I just love looking at the 4x5 slides though.Worst: I can enjoy any film really, maybe BW400CN? I don't understand the point of it since I want to develop B&W at home not fiddle with exact temperatures and shit.

>>4407223Film produces worse images. If you want to claim a soft grainy image with less DR and a squished color gamut is more in line with your personal preference, ok, but you can just edit a digital photo to look the same. A $1500 Z7II produces cleaner, sharper enlargements than 6x7 SLIDE film, the film is only higher resolution on a technicality. And it does so up to ISO 1600, where it finally looks as fucked as film does at ISO 50. Film loses so much edge definition and contrast at finer and finer resolutions that nobody ever enlarges it to its theoretical max. 20x16 from a z7 looks better than a 20x16 from a mamiya 7.
>>4407233If you shoot it 1-2 stops slower than labeledDigital has so much shadow detail that if your highlights arent clipping you get cleaner shadow and midtone info than film ever could even with 3 or 4 stops of overexposure. Film is the worse product. Its only remaining niche is producing a certifiable original without needing a cryptographic ecosystem like c2pa.
>>4407234No sharpness is bad and people who care are stupid bugs with no souls thats why its good to pay a premium to have to shoot at iso 25 to have a film photo that looks like a vsco filter applied to a iso 3200 digital photo.
>>4407232>>4407234cool, digishit looks like shit. it why all new movies look like flat ugly shit
>>4407235film is a better product. digishit is just more convenient and cheaper while producing ugly images with worse colors
>most popular film cameras people buy, Canon AE-1, Nikon F2, pentax K1000 ect, were originally produced in the 1970s >you can buy a 90s blobmera that takes moden glass for under $100I don't get it. when it comes to image quality, the single most important thing is the lens (at least for film cameras where you can swap the sensor at will). Why do people prefer the 1970s manual chase the light meter cameras to the 90s blobmeras that take EF glass and have modern metering, auto focus and programming controls? EF glass is going to kick the shit out of 1970s glass
>>4406905>>4406906its weird how cheap pentax 645 stuff is, especially with the bodies without the grips. granted you cannot use a pentax 645 without the grip and there are no knobs, just a fucking 2 direction d pad and the lens aperture in manual mode only but that thing rapes all 35mm on iq
>>4406229and folks wheres the lie?
>>4406894Yes they do.And adding to that, many of the later cameras rely solely on the electrical winding motor. On my AE-1 I use an accessory winding motor, if it fails I can just wind by hand. On a later camera if the motor fails I'm screwed.
