Which camera bag do you currently own? Does anything currently compete with the McKinnon Sling in terms of price+quality+features? Trying to find one of a similar size that will be comfortable enough for moving around.
I know 2-3 people in the last /bag/ liked my camera bag setup a few months ago, good news is I just saw it show up for sale on buyee. The 80-320mm is a decent tele too for the money if its in decent shape if you're a Pentax shooter but the 24-105mm it comes with looks moldy.Shipping will kill the deal but at least the lens its coming with is a nice bonus if you're a Pentax shooter. https://buyee.jp/item/jdirectitems/auction/l1201632331?conversionType=jdirectitems_auction_DirectSearch#group=nogroup&photo=0
>>4485788I mostly use the 500AW and my sigma 150-600 also takes up most of the space. But I can still fit a couple of other lenses plus some other shit like a small bottle and gloves. It's quite heavy though, the bag itself already weighs 2 kg. I also have the 350AWII but it's too small, my D750 doesn't even fit in height with an L-bracket attached.
>>4487072I have Billinghams that are 20-30 years old and the leather is still perfectly fine. The trim on the new models also seems to be of the same quality in my experience. Just treat it like you would any other leather item (light greasing once in a while) and it'll last pretty much forever
On a related topic, I'm tired of these pleather lens pouches that start to flake whenever you actually start using them, like pic rel. Any tips for replacement?
Spent two hours at the local book market today. Reached the place a little while before sunset, pushed through my anxiety and tried my hand at taking some photographs.Feel free to post any pictures you /p/ros took at any book fair or local market in your area.
>>4487465There were lots(by this I mean one dozen) of paki anons on /int/ back in 19/20. Then gorment banned 4chin. Now you occasionally see a weird autist on /int/ who boasts about having 3 naukars and being a useless piece of shit. Anyway photography scene is good in Lahore but it's mostly fashion, wedding and tourist core. What kind of photography you do regularly?
>>4486697>>4486699>>4486706>>4487280These are my favourite of the bunch, nice thread anon. It's good to see a different setting for once.
>>4487468I don't spend time on other boards much just /p/ and /tv/,>Anyway photography scene is good in Lahore but it's mostly fashion, wedding and tourist core.I'm so done with all the mega cringe wedding reels being spammed by local wedding photographers on IG. shaadi is the only thing that people spend big on.>What kind of photography you do regularly?Architectural. I'm not talking about the bullshit, hyper-commercial shitboxes being shoved down our throats by developers under the guise of "aesthetic modern living" lmao. I'm an architect, I do photography as a hobby and get decent commissions every couple of months tho, but thats mostly because I am picky about the people I work with.What about you? What kind of photography interests you?
>>4487482>I'm so done with all the mega cringe wedding reels being spammed by local wedding photographers on IG. Kek, totally agree with you. Young women consume all of that wedding slop so there is a big market for that.>shaadi is the only thing that people spend big on.Whole punjab only spend big on two things, weddings and food >>Architectural. I'm not talking about the bullshit, hyper-commercial shitboxes being shoved down our throats by developers under the guise of "aesthetic modern living" lmao.I hate them too. Ugly fucking concrete and glass luns in the air. >I'm an architect, I do photography as a hobby and get decent commissions every couple of months tho, but thats mostly because I am picky about the people I work with.That's cool man. Do you work with people like Kamil Khan Mumtaz and people who are trying to revive traditional Punjabi style haveli architecture? >What about you? What kind of photography interests you?I use to do tourist core photography of the old meme city. Then few years ago I became depressed and lost my job so I gave up. But I am thinking about picking up the camera once again...
>>4487484>That's cool man. Do you work with people like Kamil Khan Mumtaz and people who are trying to revive traditional Punjabi style haveli architecture?Not with his firm personally, but definitely some of the very few top ones in Lahore.>I use to do tourist core photography of the old meme city. Then few years ago I became depressed and lost my job so I gave up. But I am thinking about picking up the camera once again...Always wanted to do those "viral" photo walks of the ol' meme city but haven't gotten the chance yet. Anyway we should talk more, feel free to post your IG or whatever.

>>4484472>used shortblock so someone beat the fuck out of it and had to replace the block lol
>>4482048I see what you were wanting to do with a rule of thirds composition, but I don't think it works here. The car is visually moving left in the frame, but it has no space to move into. I'd have placed the car either relatively central, or towards the bottom right so that there is room for the car to move into visually, and to also get more context of the track and other car behind it.
>>4486517>>4486517>go looking for advice on car photographyThe best advice is the most basic:Use a CPL to get rid of reflections. Practice positioning yourself relative to the light source to use this most effectively.Use a telephoto to flatten the car's appearance (good for very curvy vehicles or when going for a natural look)Use a UWA lens to exaggerate proportions (good for flat looking cars), like close ups of rims or attractive features like badges or decalsDon't shoot from eye-level, this is boring as fuck. Go down low or get up high. Road-level photos are a nice starting point. Lifting a monopod to get real high above the car is also a great angle if a bit tricky.Background matters. If the backgound is too cluttered it's going to look like shit. Avoid having other cars in the shot unless they add to the scene.Moving cars should look like they're moving; panning shots are infinitely more impressive than shooting with a high shutter speed to freeze motion.If the road is part of the scene, then have the vehicle moving towards the road direction in the frame, not at the edge of the frame looking out.That's all I can think of for now but it's a good start.
>"Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected." Robert Frank.>"I work in colour sometimes, but I guess the images I most connect to, historically speaking, are in black and white. I see more in black and white – I like the abstraction of it." Mary Ellen MarkI see a pattern. One of making the world increasingly drab to demoralize the people. Look up their early lives.
>>4487459Yeah, and the same picture too.

>>4474364I just saw the way you’ve blended the neck with the white background. If the entire image was blended into the background that way, I think it would be a great artistic effect. Also, since it’s supposed to look “illustrative,” I think, sharpness is working against you. Softness could improve the aesthetic quality of the image.
>>4473351Did you use any flash or reflector so they are not underexposed? By the angle of the sun that guy should look like a nigger
>>4473341you missed a major opportunity not having them kiss so that the sun is between the two of them, and metering off the sunset>>4473342do you have bad knees or something? why shoot from eye level for this?>>4473351this is the best of the series>>4473465>>4473482these are fucking dope>>4473679everyone knows the key to great photos is to leave parts of the body sort of out of frame, not center OR use the rule of thirds, and make sure the horizon's not level

I've sold my huge bulky Nikon Zf after realizing that I'm way too feminine to lug around such a huge piece of Japanese technology and I got meself a brand new OM5 Mk. II.I also got a GX9 to live out my closeted homesexual street photography urges. Picrelated is my sane financial choices in one picture.

>>4487573 > cope cope cope well uhhh see it doesn’t count because hngggggggggggggg> can’t even tell when an image is shot on the sensor size he claims to hate as opposed to the one he endlessly shills Pathetic
>>4487574See? Honor system faggotry. You think like a primitive human.
>>4487574>snr figures? lp/mm? NO SIR THE FF WAS THE SAME AS THE M43 SO THE FORMAT HAS LOST IZZAT!Nigger, a d700 has the same DR and pixel well capacity as an OM5 and the same effective resolution despite having fewer megapixels. It is a TERRIBLE sensor. If m43 looks the same as one of the shittiest ff cameras ever made it has no business costing thousands when a $200 blob takes the same photos and an a7c or xe5 takes better ones.
>>4487576Nobody cares, nohpoto. Why are you so obsessed when you dont even take any photos?
>>4487576A $50 aps-c DSLR takes sharper, less noisy photos than a d700 (or literally any om shitstem) kek>>4487577>out with a wimper
I am going to buy one as soon as they hit the market in early Novemeber. I hope I get the 1987 edition. It's fire. Which one are you hoping to score?You are going to be getting one right /p/?You aren't gonna be a contrarian try hard no Charmera /p/haggot are you /p/? ISHYDDT
damn the photo quality really sucks ass
>>4487469The fuck is the filter they slapped on this. It doesn't even look like sharpening, it looks like it straight up has outlines and posterization.
I really wanted one of these but now I'm glad I didn't get one. Thank you anons.
>>4486874Nobody makes consumer CCDs anymore I think. Sony was the last company making them and they stopped those operations a while ago.
There are newly released imitations of the Charmera sold on Aliexpress called "thumb camera". Cost a little less and I reckon these have a better sensor than the real thing. Anybody ever tried these?

>>4487387>they re resin right? fdm would quite suck for that i swearYeah the gems in the screenshot are clear / translucent resin. Amazing what you can get in current year.I do 95% of my 3d prints on FDM machines but for gems i go with the resin :)
photos of my cat Rupert that i took on my phone which at least trace amounts of thoughtful composition, as per the board rules I like this shot because it really focuses on his face, which is cute

Goodbye photoshop.
>>4485993>unrelatedThere's a higher chance to go back and reedit meaningful photos. Stop coping.
>>4484666It just works.I'm sticking with m0krus that I got a few years ago, Adobe hasn't had a single major update since CS6, so you aren't really missing out.Next time I might just move over to Affinity on the Photoshop domain. Premier already lost me to Resolve.
>>4484980>>4484981>>4485007If you didn't tell us this was AI, we wouldn't be able to tell. That's how far these models have advanced. Everyone ITT making fun of them would be fooled by these rather minor touch-ups. All of the criticism you see is faux-intellectual virtue signalling.

I am so confused by this old nikon flash i got.

Martin Parr R.I.P.Street and Documentary style dump thread
>>4486988Bro, this sucks.I semi regularly pop to the Martin Parr foundation, went and saw his film where he came and did a little storytime at the end and I bumped into him in a cafe a few months ago, said "thanks for the inspiration" whilst spillin' spaghetti. Pour a cup of tea out for a real one :(
>>4487027So you're saying they're timeless?
>>4486988Rest in peace King.Martin Parr was based for not giving a fuck and for making fun of people. Humanity is a not a sacred. More often than not it is grotesque race. Fuck those twitter subhumans who canceled him over nothing. May all of those die painful deaths.
>>4487294He was cancelled when the last resort first came out for doing "exploitative poverty porn", so he did the cost of living next, which had it's sights on the middle/upper class.Anyone trying to cancel him today is just lacking in historical context or an understanding of his work.
