hey /p/rotogs, how do you think this photo was taken?

it dates from 2010, but based on the debris and vignette it was shot on film - so I'm thinking a monopod is more likely than a drone

I also just think this is a really cool image and captures the vibe perfectly

It's very likely to be Velvia (purple clouds, no dynamic range).
This guy >>4474219 is right that it's a polariser darkening the sky, but wrong about the camera. It is 1000% a slide film colour scheme, and slide film dust visible all over the top left, and most jarringly the shepherd's crook shaped pube in the middle of the frame.
Old mate >>4474236 has correctly identified the likely vantage point and field of view.
Lastly; it's scanned on a potato, as 35mm Velvia should look better than most digital cameras.
>>
>>4474467
ding ding ding

I reckon that all sound about accurate, but I'm still unconvinced it's taken from a structure, as it's probably depicting the sand bank at one foot island

sadly this is the highest quality version I could find, so it's likely the original scan, wonder if the photographer still has the negatives...?

It's worth noting this photo seems to be connected to Aitutaki. It appears in videos from people at the Aitutaki Private Island Lagoon Resort.

Hello /p/, I want to take photos like picrel but have no experience in photography and no camera, I'm willing to spend up to around €1,000 but would rather cheaper as I am not wealthy, anything in the 400-500 range is a nice amount for me. What camera/specs do I need? Any lenses? I know photography terminology as I've experience with 3dcg and they seem to use the same terms there, as well as a bit of experience in just using the pro mode of my phone camera.

You need a high red camera like the Sony A7CR, paired with a sharp GM lens. If your subject is trees, leaves, or anything green in general, Sony is the natural choice because of their propensity for beautiful green hues in their jpgs.

Any love for the Game Boy Camera and printer here?
Sure nowadays even the chinkest of cameras and printers may be better with printing via phone bigger and clearer photos but there's a certain charm and fun in doing with with a Game Boy of all things.

I really enjoy the Game Boy Camera, bought mine around when it was new. I really wanted a Pocket at the time, but couldn't afford it - just waited for the GBC. Never really bothered with the printer even though I had one, it was too novel and not very useful - unlike other cooler accessories like Pocket Pikachu 2 or the GB modem which I actually used.

Maybe a decade or so ago, I bought a pretty cool little device online which lets me link-cable transfer the pictures to an SD card. Making photography a habit has been on my to-do. But it's always just been a fun toy for me to play with sometimes, along with Mario Paint and Electroplankton and such.

As someone who never owned a gameboy and cares very little about it, this performative "disinterest" is so fucking retarded. Absolute slop for the cynicism slurpers.

almost looks like a drawing

Maybe nobody cares and maybe I'm dumb to be surprised but I just want to stress how unglamorous actual pro photographers - and creatives in general - are.

A lot of them are kind of losers. The image I had of photographers being cerebral, well-rounded and cultured guys has not proven to be true at all.

I work in healthcare but I run a small business doing sound engineering work. I do very specialized work recording live concerts and classical music, usually working alongside photographers/video crews. A lot of them are honestly just fucking weirdos, at some point I probably was too. It's a bit like pic-related (apologies for normie meme)

I mention this because prior to this I did much more paid photography gigs, but I got sick of it because a) the profit margins are a joke and b) I didn't fit in with the people there and they knew it. I'm not saying I'm better than them, but it was not the focused, intellectual crowd I hope for.

An anon here once saidA that he got into photo-journalism because it is a field that vagrants and ne'er-do-wells can get into and I 100% see it.

Older guys are good though, they're always helpful and polite.

You guys are both wrong. Photography IS art. If it's not art then it's not photography but photojournalism, photosurveillance or other related discipline. As Ansel Adams used to say: you don't take a photograph, you make it. Photography isn't pressing a button.

True

>Ansel Adams used to say: you don't take a photograph, you make it.
This citation is never enough to reinforce your statement.
To me, it sounds like "Don't just press the release cable and hope for the best, finger crossed. Use your brain before you shoot it."

And especially for Ansel Adams, i don't think he would have ever thought photography as art. I think he thought himself as just a recorder, rememberer of the magnificence of the mother nature.
>>
>>4474486
The entire f/64 movement is about photography as fine art without the need for pictorialist manipulation.
Another quote from him:
>Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
If it's not art, then it's not photography either even if you're exposing a photosensitive medium.

I don't give a fuck really about anything
I just take my camera go out and shoot
I don't get money or recognition for it and I don't pretend to be anything other than some faggot with a camera.
I don't care about culture or technique or the history of photography, or any particular styles. I don't care.
>>
>>4474497
This is the way.
The moment you're just another random faggot who happens to have a camera on them and that's all, that's the moment you are free of all the /p/ bullshit.
I want to record moments of my life and cool shit, and do it myself in a way that gives me quality output. A phone doesn't suffice, and I have money to spend because I'm not some random brown person, so I bought nice gear.
But I'm still just some faggot with a camera and that's the best way to treat it.

I have been passionate about street photography for many years, but I’ve always been a bit shy.
Now I’ve been working on being more approachable as I’m taking photos, and this is what I’ve been working on so far:

1: I have been working on smiling with both my eyes and my mouth. I don’t have a mirror at home, and it’s been hard practicing in public bathrooms, but I have made some serious progress so far.

2: I have started using a hat. It’s more stylish and I think the women will find it stylish as well. I have severe acne on my scalp, and I find it that wool stops it from oozing through.

3: I am working on losing weight. I have lost 2.7kg the past 8 months. It’s a slow grind but I’m on a steady course.

4: I have been practicing conversations. Mostly with my grandmother. She can’t respond, but I can see it in her eyes that she is captivated when I speak.

5: I have been thinking about getting a strap system so I can bring with me more lenses, and I think it would look more professional if I have them on display and not just in a backpack.

That’s pretty much it. I don’t have much money and I’m working with what I have.

Summer's over, did you get shit done? edition

All video related questions and discussion is intended for this thread. Here we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. 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 higher) and have interchangeable lenses.
In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.

If anyone can recommend a /t/ for a relatively recent release of cc, that would be great. [blog] I just requested to reduce my hours at work down to part time, so that I can focus on my passion project (experimental film), but now my budget is very tight [/blog]

All I could find on here were:
>>>/t/1212777
>>>/t/1287963
Both the same, and appear to be the outdated CS as they're labelled as "master collection" (I'm guessing the "2022" is for the torrent release, as CS got discontinued in 2012, along with the master collection branding).
And:
>>>/t/1297131
I'll probably give this a shot, as it's labelled as CC, but it would be cool to have a fellow /p/een directly endorse a release for my peace of mind.

You have to understand, they are the face of their own brand, and showing off the product is secondary to promoting their brand.

This sort of highlights the issue. There are solutions that aren't being utilised. Why? Because that requires knowledge of its existence and skill to implement, along with additional time spent actually doing it. It all adds up.
There are hundreds of "solutions" in post to every issue. But anyone with experience knows that fixing it in the shoot is always preferable to fixing it in post.
