>>4495714You do not have the vision man, id'rather have this setup in most situation than my big camera, i love my camera but i have to admit that phone like that are way better than carrying big lens on a big camera
>>4501864It is, unironically, a much better use of this garbage thread.>>4506101You should adopt it and let us know how it goes for you. Let's see that vision.
>>4506118I do not have the money to get this specific phone, but i already have a smartphone, a cheap one yeah but still can do decent photo and i have done good picture that im pride of.I will still use the big camera, but if you asked me what to bring to wander arround and take photography of my area or even portrait once the tech is better , i would choose that over big set up most of the time.People are right now choosing AI over pro photography for most job now, it doesn't matter anymore to have the biggest 10k camera.Photographer are too autistic sometimes and do not want to see change, it's funny because any photographer who actually do photography would understand why having a high end quality portable very light camera like a smartphone is a better option than a big camera

>>4506196Crop the tiff to a small section then export as a jpg at 100% size. The center of the image will be sharper than towards the edges.Cropping small enough will allow you to convert to a file under 5mb without compression. That way we can see a closer approximation of what the scanner actually got out of the negatives. A b&w one with just a single channel and a color could be cool also to see how much detail is lost when overlaying the 3 images.

Took a picture of what I believe is an Orchard Orbweaver and I'm having trouble editing it cause I'm used to landscape photography.I have a closeup of my edit as picrel and I'm bothered with how noisy it is.

>>4505933Anon, you must be trolling.>Nothing in >>4505916 (You) talks about light. It talks about specs.This post didn't talk about specs. It was about equivalent aperture diameter and different sensor sizes resulting in different light intensity after equalization. I specifically even said to ignore more "spec" related things like light transmittance which is often superior on full frame. This is all about light. If you have X amount of light and need to cover Y amount of mm2, when all that light is focused onto a smaller sensor with less area... the light intensity goes up.This greater light intensity hitting the sensor is why full frame loses its advantage in low light if you normalize for DOF at the same FOV.>Either larger formats are better or smartphones are king.LargeR formats give potential for cleaner images, more resolution, and sharper detail with enough light.If shooting conditions mean you're stuck with ISO in the thousands AND you want a deep DOF, sensor size no longer matters as much. If your subject doesn't move and it exists in an environment where lighting conditions aren't rapidly shifting, you are always better off using a larger sensor.Smartphones are never really king but they're more capable than you probably want to admit.Tripod, plus cleaned lens, shutter timer, good lighting, and enough exposure time, and proper RAW capture (no aislop, no ProRAW bs) on a phone will get pretty good images.What smartphones can't do (yet at least) is operate with a flash.Comment too long.

I have noticed that when I feel sad, that completely changes my photography. I then take more photos and I actually care for once. I know it’s compensation for any romantic or academic failures I experience.Maybe you will notice that my photos are all centered around one subject, aside from all being b/w. Maybe that shows that when I feel down, I become selfcentered and that reflects onto my pictures. My photos become the vessel for my negative emotions and sadness, hence low-key b-w motive. Have you ever noticed this with your photography? Share some of your photos that illustrate this.Also I wanted to share some pictures. One was taken today.
>>4504822I truly hate all your other pics but I love smog I always have a hard time capturing it
>>4504905Colored filters for B&W >>4504804Good stuff OP. Maybe you're more contemplative when you're melancholic, and that makes your photos much more intentional. Would love to see your editing pipeline, any curves?
>>4504916Thank you. All the low-key photos were edited by hand. I use the brush and paint the black into the photo.
>>4504804My dad died a few years ago. For months I didn't touch my camera. When I did start taking pictures again, everything ended up dark with shadows after I went through them in Lightroom. Since then, I can call up this editing style when I feel the mood is right. It helped be grow as a photographer.
>>4506219This one really mirrored my mood at the time.

/p/, I long for the 2000s. I miss the hangouts where someone always had a digital camera and was snapping away. I miss that sweet overexposed, sharpened, sometimes saturated look that naturally came from a digicam. Please post candid photos from the 2000s like picrel. The more unique the better.If you need help, go to Google Images and search (month) (year) and the word "flickr"ex - June 2005 flickr

What are some resources (books,videos,articles,ect.) that I can check out to learn portrait photography? I really want to properly learn and develop my skills rather than just browsing the hundreds of instagram accounts posting the same photos over and over
>>4504702>>4505750Based OP you need the develop a way to see the world and then actualize it. Don't do this shit empty headed. If your mind is empty you will create nothing much.
>>4505750>>4505795I do really want to find inspiration, it's just the only place I personally know of is instagram. For the accounts I do find, they either over edit their photos or don't really have much of a style, which makes it hard for me to be inspired. I also want to see the world, I really do, but I live a bit away from a relatively boring city nor do I have the funds to go out and travel. In a way I feel stuck, literally and metaphorically. I know I sound like I'm whining and making excuses, I'm just looking for direct guidance, or someone to show me the paths I can take so I can decide on the one for meant for me.

I know I sound like I'm whining and making excuses, I'm just looking for direct guidance, or someone to show me the paths I can take so I can decide on the one for meant for me.I feel you. I live under the same conditions in the northern part of the planet which means little activity, little light, but a lot of nature which gets boring quickly. Closest city which is rather small does not have any interesting infrastructure either as it was all bombed in the last Jew-war, so only cement buildings from the 50s is what I have to work with. I have adapted to these conditions by focusing on things that are unique instead of copying others. What I do is look for things and structures that are decayed and rotten and plan my shots in terms of lighting and seasonal changes. I have taken a couple of photos I am very proud of. I'd rather take a few bangers than a lot of city snapshits that everybody has seen variations of before.
>>4505912>I also want to see the world, I really do, but I live a bit away from a relatively boring city nor do I have the funds to go out and travel.NO! That's not what I mean by "seeing the world". I am saying that you should develop a vision, a philosophy, see which aesthetic tradition you want to be a part of, what kind of aesthetic universe that you want to create. Traveling won't do shit if your thoughts and vision have no substance.>I live a bit away from a relatively boring cityThis is a total fucking cope. In city you can find people to photographs. For example if you want to practice portraits ask the uni students that you'll give high end photos in the exchange that they model for you. Just hit up people on Instagram. Learn from limitations. I literally live in a 3rd world village and I have taken thousands of photos. Here's what I did: searched for photographers(all of them are from 20th century and from different countries) everywhere which worked in similar landscape to mine and mimicked their shit until I developed my own style. I also took deep dive into local history of my village and surrounding areas so lots of cool and obscure things came up. If not anything you can learn to balance composition literally anywhere so maybe try that. >it's just the only place I personally know of is instagram. IG can be a good source for finding cool stuff but it's hidden under a heap of shit, try tumblr and look for old master photographers. Checkout /p/ wiki there are bunch photographer recommendations so check them out. >I'm just looking for direct guidance, or someone to show me the paths I can take so I can decide on the one for meant for me.There's no path. You have to develop your own style and say things through photographs. But tell me what kind of aesthetics you are interested in and I'll give some recommendation based on that.
>>4505912>it's just the only place I personally know of is instagramPinterest or Lomography or dedicated photo groups on Facezucc. Don't expect perfect pictures but it might help you narrow down what you like/dislike.>they either over edit their photos or don't really have much of a styleThis is most people with a camera. Identify what you dislike and then just don't do that. If you don't know what you like then ruling out what you don't is a good place to start.>I also want to see the worldWhat the other guy said but also you will find travel does not lead to much unless it involves things you already have passion for.My travel photos are mid, generic film photo holiday snapshits (nice for memories but nothing special), but the photos I took of the armoured train I went travelling to see I liked a lot more as worthy photos. The same for my flaktower pictures from Vienna.tl;dr worry less about going lots of random disconnected places, go find things that actually interest youIf all else fails, I assure you that a set of macro tubes will significantly increase the range of things you can photograph and can help with actually finding things you are interested in when the larger objects mean nothing to you.
Have you ever taken a still life photograph? What did you learn from it? I am not good at it yet, but it is my favourite genre of photography. I like the idea of trying to execute a concept, telling a story with visual grammar and narrative, but there are many factors that can ruin a still life photograph. Pic related needed better composition, angling, leading lines, better props, a better background (preferably with a backdrop because the white wall does not add much), and maybe a better table. It was fun nonetheless, and I think I learned something during the shoot because I tried so many arrangements under a time constraint and learned about workflow.
Still life is easy in that you can do it with anything, anywhere, any time, but doing it well is another story. The best at it have put a ton of time and effort in, but you don't have to go nuts to get something out of the practice. I'm a photographer, but also a former assistant to a number of product/still life shooters, and it's a great discipline. When I was starting out, I didn't appreciate still life, but it's great. And to >>4501930 yes, it's real.
>>4501931Wow another egg poster. Nice. Very cozy egg shot. Do you have any more?>>4501930Many famous photographers have photographed eggs to great effect. If you don't mind analyzing photographs they can carry some pretty strong symbolic meaning. Fragility, life, birth, safety, etc. The shape of an egg is also really excellent to illuminate and photograph. You can create some pretty interesting visual contrast because an egg is so perfectly round and smooth. Very good practice. Here's the 8x10 I ended up taking of that scene. :D
>>4501935Not really, I shot that like 20 years ago and I think I've done others since but have no idea where they are. But here's one of my favorites by still-life master Phil Marco
>>4501942Fire egg pic. I love the found object + egg combo. That glove tells a whole ass story.

No, the age of 1080x1080 compressed jpegs that you are posting on Instagram is over, nobody cares, either you start making vertical videos or you just fade into irrelevancy.>but i buyed canon r5ii with rf 50mm f/1.2 and 24-105mm f/4Nobody cares, masses only care about short vertical vids.

It's a decent photo though, being shot on a phone really didn't hinder the vision whatsoever.>>4496157Seems like there was some glare. It doesn't always work but sometimes, if I hold my hand up as a lens hood, I can get a lot of contrast back from otherwise hazy areas like the sky on the left-hand side of your pic there.>>4496158Great pic, too, not at all hurt by being shot with a phone.I'm happy we've got this thread. A lot of great photography happens off-the-cuff when all that's on hand is your phone.

I've been figuring out which camera body and lens to get. I want something that takes really nice pictures. Over the years I asked /p/ a few times, but each time they just ranted about consumerism and skills and how only the elect are worthy of nice thingsCan someone just give me some real world recommendations? Based on cameras and lenses you have or have used.
>>4505859Recommend me a camera and lense. Please nothing used, I am not rolling that way
>>4505280Please comment on this reply I posted.
>>4505842>will it make better pics than the latest iphones?No. Unless youre shooting f/1.0 on a FF mirrorless brick, modern day smartphones are 99% as good and will even take better pics instantly as they dont require manual editing.
>>4505842no, phones are far far better than even phase1, mind you
>>4505251OP, R6 MII is an absolutely excellent camera. I don't even want to upgrade to MIII despite better video options (i might get C50 just as dedicated video camera).Autofocus is apparently second best to sony, but I still find it loses eyes all the time and has trouble getting them back, especially when shooting kids who are always moving around.
