I don't want to buy a new flagship every two years. I just want to have a nice pocket camera and keep my midrange for a while. My old olympus pocket camera lasted for almost a decade. Preferably nothing more expensive than $700

>>4489871It was easier for me to get EU citizenship than to save of for medical treatment in the US. Many EU countries have some law like "if your grand grand grand parent was a countryman, you're too".Once you get EU citizenship you just move to Germany, go on gibs and get 1st world medical care for free. Then you can always return to the US.This is less expensive and faster than getting treatment in the US.

>>4489741Tryout Davinci Magic Mask with depth mapping- it’s become a largely painless process, especially compared to how it used to be
>>4489746I like magic mask but it runs so slow. I can’t wait until cpus get ai cores so I can do magic mask in realtime.
>>4489749Nice to hear it runs slow on someone else’s rig too- my Mac laptop is old as fuck so I figured that was it.
Coming my way, was the risky click worth it? $3800AUD ($2400USD) I have been on the lookout for a PL zoom for the meme alexa build and found this.Its a 20-100, bit of a scratch on the front, but I hope it doesn't effect the image,
>>4489896Front element damage isn't a death sentence. You will probably get some extra ghosting and flares from light coming in at that angle and the scratch is just centered enough that you'll probably feel it regardless of the f/stop used.That being said, a bit of ghosting and flaring isn't that big of a deal and may even be what you want (vintage lenses had tonnes of it and it reflects in media of the time).How far in the hole has this set you back so far aussieanon? I haven't seen any updates on your memelexa build in months.
>it now cost $20 to develop film only with no prints or scansAHHHHHHHHH
>>4411869its really not that hard to develop it yourself
Why the fuck is it more expensive to develop black and white film as opposed to color film? That's fucking insane.
>>4489845C41 is a standardized process that is uniform regardless of film speed (pushing/pulling aside), while b&w can be done different ways to achieve different outcomes and also requires different timing for different film speeds (unless your lab is doing rodinal stand dev I guess). More complexity = more expensive, while every lab has a machine that basically does c41 for them.
>>4489845B&W dev is done by hand, and C41 film is done by machine automation.I've seen a moderate rise of C41 B&W film being sold locally this past year or so. Local shop has sold a lot more XP2 Super than even HP5 according to the owner. The film is like an extra two bucks per roll but costs 2/3rd the dev cost at the same store so it's actually more economical.Besides, think of how much time it takes you to dev a single roll at home. Even if you've done it a hundred times and have all the chems ready to go, it still takes you a good 20-30 minutes to go through everything all the way to drying. I'm not surprised shops are charging $20 USD a roll to have an intern spend a solid half an hour on a single job.
>>4489852also that's the reason you never give your BW film to a lab because they don't know what look you want and they just use $something. if you shoot BW film you have to develop yourself to keep full control of the process. otherwise you could just get a digicam and shoot the monochrome JPG profile. same amount of control - just less cost.

>>4489818sick. I am going to PR this winter. bringing camera of course. I prefer wimbrels
>>4489817You're doing pretty well considering you're colorblind. If it's Deuteranopia you're pretty fucked, but if it's just some minor red-orange colorblindness then it shouldn't be a huge deal.>F11 is as wide as my lens goes with a 2x converterAre you shooting a 400mm f/5.6? with a 2x? Can't really get any better of a setup for 800mm without spending $10,000>This was also 12800 or 16000 isoThis is completely personal opinion, but if I was shooting this high of an ISO I would be turning NR off completely and shooting B&W. The chroma noise disappears and the luma noise is tolerable. In some cases it can look like a faux B&W film this way (but grain looks way better than luma noise ever will). Yes you lose the vibrant colors, but you're colourblind anyway so if anything it would be far easier for you to see what the photo looks like for other people.
>>4489860Yep, snoy 100-400. I can't afford a 300 f2.8I prefer it over the 200-600 because of size/weight, and I use it for landscape as well.I'm not afraid of iso, and I did not denoise or really crop this image at all. It was actually fairly ETTR'd so 16,000 looks ok. Just seems a bit blocky because of the compression down to 4-ish mbPicrel is a cat in my hotel room.
>>4489857Nice!I had a lot of fun. It's great for birds, but I kind of regret not going out specifically to shoot wildlife.I just got a bunch of random pics on resort or around old San Juan.Also, it's much pricier than say, Mexico. I was blindsided a bit.Picrel random bird on an umbrella at the resort. Not sure what this is, but they were everywhere.

>>4484547>not naming the thread /pp/Missed opportunity
>>4489463I really wish I had brought my camera there. It would have been worth the hassle.
>>4489580I did have a camera with me, but also forgot to recharge the battery AND bring the spare battery with me...
>>4489784Little did you know, even if you’d taken charged batteries, you left the SD card at home…
How do you do it?I've been getting more active with my photography for a few years now and it's starting to get messy.On my hard drive I have my pictures in different folder by year and month, so it's quick and easy to just clear out my SD card.Then in Lightroom I pick the images I like and want to use and put them in a collection. However usually I make one collection per "set" and very rarely group any of the collections. Only have a group for shooting at protests, one for portraits and a few for some multi-week trips I took that resulted in multiple photo-sets.In my context a set is just a collection of images with a similar theme or from the same day that I post on social media or send to friends or whatever.Having an ever growing list of collections seems like a problem waiting to happen, especially if I want to go pro one day, so I was wondering how you guys manage it? The only thing I've seen online that might be a good idea is maybe grouping my collections by location to make them a little easier to sort through when I end up visiting the same place multiple times.
>>4489705Year > Session / EventMonthly doesn't really make sense to me (and is just bad if you ever can't recall which month an image was from)I do usually have two Snapshot folders for everyday type stuff, one for fist half of the year and second for last halfI'll usually have a Misc folder too for files I'm tinkering around with (think studio comparison tool)All exported files end up within the same Session folder so I don't really have to bother with viewing through LR/C1 if just browsing finished images.Switching to individual session folders instead of importing to one massive LR catalogue has been the best change I've made for both organization and workflow.Trying to link / group up "similar" images from different sessions always seemed like a waste of time to me.
I export to a google docs folder called export. Photos are named YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.I print maybe 2 dozen photos a month and put them in a photo album in order with labels, that's my real organization method.
>>4489728For reference, I shoot ~150k frames a year
>>4489728>>4489731I shoot at a considerably less volume than you, but I use year > session/event as well. I find it easier to recall and fetch photos past photos this way.
binder full of negatives (as well as a box with a bunch of older ones I haven't scanned yet), and then digitally all the scans are just in one big folder on an external and the ones I bother to edit/convert to jpg live in folders by yearits probably not the best system

Why are photography YouTubers so shit? They mostly churn out boring nontent while dressing like a copy of a copy of a copy of someone who thought he might closet cosplay Ansel Adams. Who are they aping?Almost all have the cadence and tone of a best buy sales associate either slowly conniving a golden HDMI cable sale or postponing their suicide on a Sunday evening only since their parents are still alive; with no in-between.I meet smarter and more interesting people IRL at camera club or local stores, so it's not as if this hobby is exclusively for people prescribed Klonopin and SSRIs.Half of them are just talking head slop direct to camera talking about what gear to buy (micro four nerds)The ones that do teardowns and repairs of gear are usually fine, but those aren't exactly photo videos at that point.The only guy that does the "video of taking photos" thing I can stand is Nick LoPresti since he doesn't talk like he's constipated, but lately the lack of constipation has become a problem since he's been diarrhea-shitting up my sub box with low-effort commentary videos sitting in front of a green screen. Idk who he's aping there, 2016 twitch? Don't like it, especially one where he and his wife are politisperging about shit like how "they can't use Google search for inane things because it'll track you" for what feels like several minutes.Snappiness may be my second favorite even though he looks and talks like a queer (he has kids so I guess he isn't technically). At least he does ridiculous things with cameras that are more interesting than "I walked and took a photo of something and had some ennui about it".Also, I hate gxAce with a passion, dead horse of a gimmick beaten into dust at this point. 80% of his videos serve no purpose to the modal viewer since they're just a rain-dance to the corporate marketing teams to get them to send him gear. (Also combining sloppy wet deep-throat glazing prose with an aloof tone is uniquely excruciating to listen to.)
>>4463763>and the ones that aren't are tutorial videos that only appeal to beginners.beginner videos are honestly some of the best. Every now and again theres something really really simple or a cool trick that i just had never gave much thought too and they end up making me play around outside of my comfort zones with the cameras that i do have. A lot more than ones aimed at "higher skilled" photographers and the feeling of the video is>have at least 20k in gear to try this first>how to let editing do 90% of the legwork instead of taking better pictures
>>4473148I still enjoy his content and I've been watching him since he was doing videos for redwolfairsoft
>>4466377The man who discovered DNA even said blacks are genetically prone to low intelligence get over itThere are a few good men but overall they’re unevolved. Natural civilizational selective pressures could fix their race in about 500 years but only if you stop giving them gibs and actually treat them as equals. As poorly as you treat single white male "failures". Truth hurts. The best time to start is today. Do business, not charity, with africans. And let the failures fail. Let them be disproportionately failures. It is the only way they will ever be our equals short of lethal eugenics measures.
>>4489676This is a photography board.
>>4473148I like his stuff, watched him a lot when I was getting into photography, now not so much though.I bumped into Lok a few years ago.
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.

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
>>4488893Make a thread with dogs, then.Here's one of mine from RPT.
>>4476319You caught a nice moment here. I think it would be better if you brought up the crop to a little bit below where his feet would be, behind the blanket, and maybe bring it in just a tiny bit on the right so there's a little more focus on the empty space he is looking towards.
Miss you, Avena.
The only good thread on this cursed site. I really wish I could have a cat.

>>4489631>You should be equally as critical of other brands for being voluntarily worse too, but you aren'tI don't care about other brands because I'm not invested into them. I'm not talking about anything other than a feature I want my camera, and the camera I wanted to buy to have.>There is a processing cost to it, and judging from what cameras it's made it's way too, it wouldn't surprise me if it's presently a processing limitationZ5ii shares the same processor (EXPEED7) as the Z9, Z8, Zf, Z6iii, but doesn't have it. It may get it in the future, but making the purchase now (to get the holiday discount) is a gamble. I don't want this camera without this feature. I struggle enough as it is on my z50, focusing at f/1.8, then doing two full dial slides to get up to f/8 for my shot.>Why is the canon only at -6.5EV? Why don't you call them out for their own limitations too?I don't care about what Canon is doing, I don't have any Canon gear. I'm not the guy arguing with you. I'm the Nikon user who wants features that exist in other cameras to exist in my camera.
>>4489244is there any real reason not to get the R5 II other than the increase in price?
>>4489633Manufacturers publish these ratings but i had a zf and the focus just missed constantly in situations where the a7c worked fine. Pretty sure they all use different AF targets and modes and weird circle of confusion standards. Like how IBIS ratings are as fake as can be (vibrating table lol)
