Moar?
last one
Only just got back into photography after 18 years. Got me a used Nikon D90 (Shutter Count 26k) + 18-105 Kit lens on eBay for like 90 Bucks and it's been very fun so far.I have yet to understand ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed though.Anyway, some roses.
This zesty guy makes a call like he drank too much, "uhzahhh!"
Booted eagle, light morph, most likely a male.Quite uncommon in these parts
>>4517300I had better lighting today.
Standard Bird On A Branch picture of a robin with sunrise creating a backlight.
>>4517491your mask is showing brudda and that birds glows out of the picture, gotta be more carefulI am sure this is a lovely picture even unedited
Kodak Charmera kings rise up
finis
wtf is this thread lmfaooo
I got the old Charmera model as on a whim a week ago. The tiny 2Gb micro SD card finally saw some use again, glad I had kept it in the cabinet for well over ten years. The BW profile is surprisingly usable, other than that the picture quality reminds me of my old Nokias.>>4515059This is really cool, reminds me of school print-outs
I'm thinking of getting a Ricoh GR IV Monochrome, but the thing is, can something like a Fuji X-H2 fake it well enough with a B&W film simulation? There's going to be mottling due to differences in color channel noise at higher ISO, right?Damn, it'd be a no-brainer at $1500 but $2100...
>>4517292Since that is a picture you could have taken with any camera from the past 20 years, I'd suggest spending that money on some workshops instead of gear
Stop having nice things
>>4517365>>4517360>>4517291Post your B&Ws anons. I want to see a black-off.
>>4517275Looks good anon. Full frame iq in a tiny GR body
>>4517433taken on highest quality camera, a broken iPhone 7 Plus
How do you guys find this type of camera like nikon and cybershot tx1 i cant find them to buy
5.4 is out, what do we think bros?
>>4517401This is just a simple tone curve adjustment in Rawtherapee. Adjusting shadows and exposure a bit to bring back some lightness and done. Jumping through so many hoops to not quite get there in Darktable is retarded.
>>4517408>with this one slider in rawtherapee you can add magenta to your sky
>>4517428Yes, with Darktable you can add any of the colors of your choosing.I think it comes from the white balance tint OP has exported the JPEG with. I don't have the RAW, just demonstrated crop and the sky was bugging me. The point is all of these free software solutions have all the bells and whistles and none of them can deliver a good result.
>>4517428There, adjusted white balance. Already spent far too much time with shit software. Anything else you don't like edit it yourself.
>>4517376Nah I think this is good and how I would've proceeded, the sky doesn't need definition and you destroyed it anyway lol
Man, Myth, Legend
the fuck happened in here>>4511439>>4511462just because you disagree, or don't understand it, doesn't make it trollinghere, I took the time to illustrate what I'm talking about: registration error in the plate cassetteunfortunately the image limit is reached, so have a catbox link: https://files.catbox.moe/hypoht.png
>>4511609I apologise to you.I am currently maintaining multiple active threads here and other places. Grief posters and bots are almost all that remain.Grammar Nazi shows up to egg shit on >>4511468as an example.Your Diagram took a lot of time. It was very well done.The RGB overlap was also odd and you showed how they stack in the finished crop. Bottom portion left is spot on.Ya done good Friend. Very Nice. And yes, words did not work here.I was always a tactile learner.In my own defence I did honestly engage in the previous posts we madeComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>4511609>>4511641the next thread will take some timeneed to afkfor obvious reasons
>>4511641>>4511643Sorry for the late reply, been super busythe projector needs to use three lenses to project all three images at the same time for viewingI would say this is "obviously" because humans can't understand red, green, and blue images projected sequentially as a single image, but that's not actually trueif you project them quickly enough in sequence it does trick your eyes into seeing a single image, many modern projectors actually work this way one we have at work projects each at about 1/3 of 60Hz (180 frames per second total) and you can tell if you move something quickly enough through the path of lightthat said, that kind of technology didn't exist in Gorsky's time so he had to settle for three lensesthe projector almost certainly used lens shift to align the images on the projection surface — the same shift that technical (bellows) cameras use for perspective correction (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/View_camera#Movements)taking an image this way doesn't work because the three lenses introduce parallax, but the developed images are on a flat plate so that doesn't happen for projectionhere's an illustration: https://files.catbox.moe/revi9k.png
>>4517322checkedThank You for coming back.The concepts and tech for this project are impressive.Having put all the questions to rest is a small victory for me and your insight put the pieces together.I find it strange the Gorsky did this work at the highest level the times would allow and then no more photos. Gone. A Ghost.Maybe it was the fall of the Empire and his exile. Turning away from that time and success may have helped live past it.It did happen quickly after they were taken.Looks like there will still be some unanswered questions after all :)
>Go to Japan>Only shoot Kodak Portra 400
>>4516992>Only shoot Kodak Portra 400yeah should have shot Ektacolor 400 instead
At least shoot glorious Nippon slide film>poor dynamic rangeskill issue>expensive>can afford to fly and stay at hotels
>>4517315i'll see you in court.
>>4517315>>4517316>>4517317>>4517318>>4517319>>4517320>>4517321we get it, you hate color and properly focused sujects
>>4517411Doesn't look like missed focus to me, just looks like either bad scans or a mid lens on the camera.
Is there a legitimate replacement for Lightroom classic? I hate adobe and I want to stop renting it, but goddamn it makes editing so fresh and so good. I freely admit I am a retard and I don’t want to spend several hours investigating different softwares. I want to know what you guys use and / or if anyone who actually edits large amounts of photos uses anything other than photoshop and Lightroom
>>4517011*Photopea
I use pirated LR on my tablet, great for trips.On my desktop I use darktable but its 5 million menus scares me.OP just pirate LR, if you're used to it it's not really worth learning another program.
>>4517336The 5 million menus are not the problem. It is 5 millions menus but still don't have that one basic setting you want to do is the problem.
>>4517377like?
>>4517378Like with a blown out sky I want to bring back some contrast but with the new workflow and "Darktable ideals" you don't exactly have contrast, exposure, shadows and highlights anymore because all of this is tied into AgX because it is more "scientifical" and gives you back 1% more color that you would never notice in printing but the farts smell lovely now. All I want is set a gradient mask and tie some highlights and contrast setting to it. You can't. You have the outdated shadows and highlights module from 10 years ago that is absolute ass and leave horrible masking lines for some reason.
lemme see your shots for the moon!this is mine btw captured with canon 2000d 55mm i can not remember my camera settingsi gave it some edit with lightroom this is first time with DSLR
>>4516876Have you tried the red/green method for focusing? Does you lens do that? ...>>4516007>>4516026
>>4516905This cheap piece of crap seems to have fringing regardless of how well you focus, when shooting the moon the fringing is blue and is always there.
>>4516932>fringing is blueOof. Chromatic aberration.Yeah, not gonna fix that. Best you can do is reduce it later with software: select the purples and tone them down.https://nightskypix.com/what-is-chromatic-aberration/
>>4516932keep in mind atmospheric dispersion, only shoot when its fairly high
Nikon P900, freehand
There are like millions of setttings, how do I know which one is the best in my particular case?I've tried to watch some tutorials on Youtube, but couldn't recreate that super fancy feeling you're getting from fashion magazines. For example pic rel is my slop, is it possible to fix it somehow to make it look decent for Instagramm at least?
Bump for engagement, come try editing
Why is it so fun to BTFO photos sometimes?
Happy 4th, anons.
>>4500836The way you took photo of the nissan is a snapshot from afar (bus, train or building). If it was an upcoming car to be released which most of the public hasn't seen yet, then you have good content to post. But if you want a 'clean' photo, be where the car is and shoot from good angles. This one has an awkward one, framing is off, wires blocking part of the subject, car shadow below back is cut and lacks negative space at the bottom, bus and shadow on right side mess up the background.
I have way better gear but this little fucker has become a great companion for vlogging, even with all the drawbacksDo you have a favorite flawed piece of gear?
>>4493840And now GoPro has their own version.
>>4501594Like a phone?
why dont you guys post photos you took with them?
>>4514411for >>4473543
>>4474747From what I can recall this thing was basically a retarded A6000. Has all of the hardware except displays and controls.
Why has the world abandoned photo shoots of good looking women?99% of anything I see now is selfies and if its a photoshoot its just to sell clothing or some super generic looking agency testshoot. 10 years ago or whatever the world was full of every good looking girl doing multiple photoshoots just for content. What happened?
>>4486015>for some weird reasonDo you want to know what it is?
low hanging fruit. I always laugh when I click a "photographer's" page and it's just pictures of attractive women.
>>4515454why? are you a zoomer incel/femcel?
>>4502542Go on instagram and find a model. Message her and ask her what her rates are.Once you have a portfolio it is much easier to find TFP models.
>>4481290Most of them aren't.You have a handful who make ridiculous money (literally - the top 10 earners account for over a quarter of all onlyfans revenue), and the rest who are making basically fuck all.
Previous Thread: >>4408437My astronomy club is doing an outreach on smart telescopes in a few more months so I decided it pick up an S30. Its been delightful so far; setup is a breeze compared to my primary rig. Think it will be a great little thing for more casual imaging. We're not in the best time of year for my FOV, but I was able to get a little time in on M5.
>>4515579>>4515608you need to twice the aperture to double arc-res, so youd need 24" to twice the res of a 12" in theory assuming perfect optics, that >10k 16" SCT should be much better in optical quality than very much any dob you may find, heres one example of somebody gettin the most of a 12" dobhttps://app.astrobin.com/equipment/explorer/telescope/1210/omegon-dobson-advanced-x-n-3041500?i=932sjg
>>4515613ioptron skyhunter is what I was looking at.I mean if I need focal length I have a lens that is like 4500mm full frame equivalent, some Japanese monopod that was designed to be used on cameras as an option.I've used it here and there but it's hard to do much with that isn't stare at rhe moon without well, a tracker that has low accuracy drift
>>4515668>a lens that is like 4500mm full frame equivalent?? Sounds like a 16-inch scope.
Fuji Velvia 50
>>4517186I reckon that's M31 low and right of center, and north is left?
