>>4492397Thanks for sharing.
Anyone else ever been shit on by a thousand birds when a black couple comes up from behind you and throws an entire box of crushed up ritz crackers at a murder of seagulls?
The Merganser
contributemostly wanted to experiment with the 'natural' setting on the K10DI think I used -2 saturation, 0 contrast, +1 sharpening but I adjusted it here and thereI also played with color correction in the WB but it wasn't too greatalso, /digishit/ general bread

>>4492455>decent photoWhy would a total beginner give advice? That is a terrible photo.

Is the Lumix S9 the first camera aside from Fujifilm's amazing X range where you don't even need to edit your digital photos anymore?
>>4492598I hope this isnt an FF camera. Noisy, dull, and green tinted. Shooting jpeg is like going down a sensor size and turning your nonsnoy into a snoy.
>>4492598>>4492599Based in the moment enjoyers making autists seethe
>>4492265I have it, it's good, build quality is bad
>>4492664>liking to edit means you can't also enjoy being in the momentif anything, the editing people get to be "in the moment" even more-so
>>4492672holy cope
What's the secret to digital b&w photography?
>>4491707Reminds me of a toadline pitbull.
>>4491699(you)
I tried the "simulated red filter + boosted saturation" method again. The skies start banding like hell if you push them too hard though. 1/2
>>44925712/2
>>4491118Black and white is for when the colors of what you're photographing are ugly.
Shot on a Bessa R2M with the 35mm f/2 Ultron and a mix of Fuji 100, Provia 100, and Portra 400.Developed at various labs in Tokyo and Osaka, scanned by myself.
As usual, beautiful set. You are a consistent great photographer.My preference goes to the ones with people in it.>>4490843Does your film make everything red, or did you happen to be in luck ?>>4490844You can almost feel the delicate touch.>>4490850France mentioned.
>>4490852Nice composition, I love the impression of natural submersion over the signs of human activity. >>4490855This one is a time capsule from the nineties.>>4490867This one is perfect. The clothes, the colours, the composition.
>>4492362Meds.
>also be in Japan roughly the same time>pics mog all my soulless amateur stuffFUCK. beautiful pics btw
I went into this trip with Greg Girard's "JAL 76 88" in mind for inspiration, but I also discovered Fred Herzog's "Modern Color" before I left for my trip and must have subconsciously drawn inspiration from that more so than Girard. >>4492365Thank you anon, much appreciated!I think I got lucky with the lighting that particular day, and paired with Fuji Provia 100 made for some super saturated colours. >>4492366>This one is perfect. The clothes, the colours, the composition.I keep coming back to this photo more than any other one I've taken and really do think it might be my favorite. >>4492575There's no such thing as professional whatever the fuck this photography is called, I'm as much an amateur as you are anon. Feel free to post your Japan pics here, would love to see them.
I went out on the streets late and took some photos tonight with this phone, here they are..
>>4490085Did you kill her?
I'm buoyed by the compliments, thanks guys>>4491562No there's CCTV in that park
>>4490749I was thinking something similar. It's cool that the camera is low quality but there's still thought and intention behind every picture. Good work OP, you made something interesting.
>>4491563and if there weren't cctv?
>>4492552
This thread is dedicated to close-range photographic captures utilising macro-optical imaging configurations to achieve greater reproduction ratios. Got it? Good now upload some shit. Last thread: >>4376661
>image limit reachedShall we wait until spring to make a new thread? All my insect bros are gone, literally nothing to shoot :(
>>4485226Use a tripod and pray for a still bug / no wind. Let the AF motor do it for you. The rocking method is unreliable because there's little chance you can go perfectly forwards and backwards without any lateral movement whatsoever.>>4492505Could just get a thread going with some old photos, no harm in that really.
>>4492539Is macro defined as 1:1 or greater, or is it just images "in the spirit of" taking pictures of small things?
>>4492540Technically Macro is 1:1. In practice, anything involving "small" subjects and/or higher than normal magnification is macro photography. Better to think of it as a general idea than a clearly defined rule, and if anyone gets all high and mighty over you using a 0.4x lens or something then that just means they're a massive faggot.Back in the day when basically every lens was between 0.2x and 0.1x magnification, the only way to get proper macro photos was with a dedicated macro lens (or bellows). These days more and more everyday lenses feature higher reproduction ratios with 0.5x being fairly common and normally the point that companies will slap the Macro moniker on it. Hell, my 100-400mm lens has a 0.42x ratio without trying, and it would be more than enough for decent enough macro.
>>4492553Yeah that's how I feel about it also. I do a lot of 8x10 snapshitting type stuff around 1:1 and it always makes me chuckle a bit when I consider posting a picture with my entire hand in it or something in the macro general because technically it is 1:1.It's more fun to remain within the spirit of macro and post photographs of small things instead. :D
>Can’t stand my self
>>4492547
Are rangefinders just point-and-shoot snapshitters with slightly more adjustability? I'm entertaining the idea of a smaller film camera but looking at pics taken by them and what they offer they seem like a glorified p&s. Am I missing something here?
I am not skilled enough to justify spending over a grand on a Leica and I assume most people are the same if they're being honest with themselves.
>>4492351Leicas aren’t about skillThey’re about preserving traditional hobby photography instead of handing pros of ever decreasing aptitude cameras of ever increasing automation. Their high price is because everyone wants this but everyone in japan is too dumb and soulless to deliver it competently.
>>4492354I would imagine most Japanese companies see this as a niche market compared to where they make all their money: wedding and event photographers.
>>4492370You mean large agenciesFor example the AP buys sony bodies by the crate. They dont care if they break early, not like we care. They expect to break them early if they don’t break first. A failure rate is baked into the contract and sony makes a killing on service. They dont care about artism and ergos, colors and shit like photographers would because they shoot for the newspaperThese are the most profitable customers in the biz and they only really buy to keep the warranty current. Hence sony releases every camera twice.
I've seen a lot of people recommend the Canon QL17 and the Olympus 35SP. Are fixed lens rangefinder solid?
After much positive feedback to the /m43/ general I re-thought the whole thing. Why limit to one mount if the defining defining feature is the aspect ratio?Let's have a /4:3/ general for all the based chads who shoot in 4:3 ratio!Welcome: Everyone whose system shoots natively in 4:3!Also welcome: Those who accept the superiority of 4:3 and crop their 3:2 (cringe) images to the 4:3 (based) ratio.Not welcome: Everyone else.Topic of the first /4:3/ general ever: Are 5:4 and 6:7 based, too? Or are they just tryhard?Discuss!
>>4492447>80-300mm f/5.6 equiv. PRO LENS>760g>$1650vs>EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 Consoomer lens>630g>$400So... spend 4x the money for worse AF, worse abberations, more weight, more distortion... Why? Can a Turder please actually argue a positive point to buying one of these things?
>>4492450It's very similar to scientology.
>>4492450Mirrorless babbies are too unskilled to use DSLRs and can only accept the newest and best mfturd or the newest canonEven snoy is too demanding for them and nikon is basically unusable Someone post the om1 vs z8+400mm prime comparison where the cropped z8 looked exactly like the uncropped om1 with its $7000 zoom lens and the nikon setup was actually heavier
>>4492535And the *OLYMPUS setup was actually heavierAnd more expensive
>>4492535The best camera systems ever made take skill to use well.
I will post some more examples.
>>4490978A studio product photo. The result of much planning and position, a lot of very good lighting equipment placed intentionally and probably done by someone experienced, and what is likely a full frame digital camera using a short-telephoto prime lens with a moderately wide aperture in-use.Emphasis on the lighting. If this was lit half-assedly or was just a photo using direct-flash or natural lighting it would look far, far worse than it does.I don't see anything that gives it away as film.It's also probably photoshopped a fair bit, as it is a product shot.
OP you should check out the 1989 edition of the BH&G cookbook
>>4492529Sinar P spotted.
>>4491182I wouldn't be surprised if it's large format, for studio shots that was the norm. Crazy how digital just wrecked everything.
>>4492532You could always use a technical camera with a 120 back, but I don't really see the point when doing product photography like this unless you really needed the additional DoF that smaller formats afford you.
I take photos on a Sony Mavica. I'm not a photographer per se, but I think this will be my new hobby now.
>>4491828Sir I’m going to need proof that doll is at least 18
>>4491828Why did you make two threads?
started looking at photos i shot back in 2008-2010ish and decided to do a dump.
great thread, picked a couple of my favorites. makes me want to go out and take more photos>>4487083the texture of the water up top is wonderful>>4487110this lil guy reminds me of the bird in the twin peaks intro>>4487128love how this one messes with scale, the giant ship looks so small
>>4492231That photo looks like it was taken with a cheap 2005 digicam.
I wish I could go back to the Vancouver of 15 years ago. I fucking hate the post 2017 era. Thank you OP.
Lovely thread, colors in particular are really pleasant. I'd offer more critique but I suck Highlights>>4489533>>4489540>>4489545>>4489546Most of them reallyWas in vancouver in 2012 for a few months internship at UBC wish I could go back there, thanks for bringing some of the memories back
>>4492360Oh nice, I really like FP4 especially pushed to 400. Never used Pyro, been mainly using Kodak Tmax developer. I'm sure it'll play well with Pyro too. These were all scanned with a mix of a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000ED and a shitty Canon flatbed. I scan now with a Sony a7 and macro lens, wayyyy quicker with better results.>>4492392Thanks anon, appreciate your comments. Get some colour film and have fun! I don't shoot it anymore, bw film tickles the itch for me now.>>4492418Thanks anon <3. I enjoy playing with scale a quite a bit for sure.>>4492421Probably because it essentially was, given it was a Canon flatbed from the early 2000s.>>4492486I want to move back regardless, miss it.Comment too long.

>>4492474Holy shit this is amazing!
I just found a vintage camera museum page and thought maybe someone here might be interested in ithttps://licm.org.uk/livingImage/1930Room.html
>>4492511Cool. Another really fun one is to look up the old 1800-early 1900s newspaper photography ad archives. Tons and tons of really neat old photography ads for film, printing seevices, lenses, etc.
Seems like a good site for old camera enthusiasts
