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.>STICKY - https://text.is/QZ1J>Helpful guide, additional books and more in-depth FAQs - https://web.archive.org/web/20200926115310/https://pastebin.com/kG0gRmTZ>NO ONE CARES WHAT AN EXPERT YOU THINK YOU ARE.

>>4489186>>4489189You missed anamorphic shooters who don't want meme aspect ratios
>shoot outdoor scene using neon lights for stylised effect>week later realise I chose the wrong colour>spend less than a minute adjusting colour wheels and get perfect colour balance as if I'd chosen correctly in the first placeSometimes I forget how amazing log footage is in modern cameras
>>4489296>fuck it up in-camera>save it in posta tail as old as thyme
If I could AI generate a film that is exactly like how I picture it in my head, it comes out a perfect 1:1 depiction of every single slight detail according to any whim or desire I have-I would absolutely do it, immediately, without question
>>4489446I would do it even if the cost associated with generating the footage was the same as a production budgetFuck I’d probably still do it if it even cost more than shooting it in real life
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
>>4489271I saw a comparison and people online were basically saying this G6 from chingchongpress had slightly better photo quality over the Chamera.This looks like hot, hot ass and is so heavily sharpened I'm sure the halos are counted to up the marketing resolution.
>>4489271The datestamp is set and enabled/disabled by connecting it to your computer and modifying the .txt file in the camera's root folder.Though yours isn't connecting. Maybe try another cable and Windows 10?
>>4489298To me looks like cheap dashcam where bringing out detail like license plates is important and aesthetic is not. >>4489300I already tried different cables. Now checked it's same with win10 laptop. (Charges fine via usb and goes to PC mode if its PC and does not if charger but Win 10/11 does not recognize it.I'll msg the seller before attempting to find and fix a bad solder joint. Smds got too tiny for me more than a decade ago.)(A snap with different levels of darkness.)
>>4489271VHS aesthetics
>>4489351>>4486865At night shots the thumb camera does pull far ahead compared to the Charmera. Charmera looks like there was butter smeared over the lens.
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
All of these photos would be 600x better if you had dogs. Cats are kinda reddit these days ngl
>>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.
1/?This is the review of an OM-5 micro 4/3 camera. I am a full frame user, and I bought this camera to have a small, fun, attractive camera to take snapshits around town. I own or have owned a D850, Z5ii, Z6ii, basically every Nikon DXXX DSLR, D500, Z50, etc. This is my first M43 camera and I was not sure what to expect, so I am chronicling my impressions both for myself, and for other photographers who are looking for a small, fun camera. Ergonomics: This camera is outstanding IMO. For me the Nikon FF cameras are in this weird middle spot that is ergonomically uncomfortable for me. They are either too small or too big. The D850 and my D7500 fit my hand fantastically. I will always have a Nikon DSLR because they are so comfortable to hold and use. The OM-5 is smaller to hold than my Z5ii for example, and that gets it out of the uncomfortable middle ground. With the Z5, I’m always between holding it in front with all of my fingers, or just 3 – there isn’t really enough room for all 4, but with 3, it feels a little insecure. With the OM-5, three fingers fit perfectly. There is enough grip on the front and a great thumb rest on the back. The buttons are very well placed on the camera body for operation while shooting. Simply put, this is a very comfortable camera to hold and shoot. For reference, when I am walking around and shooting, I grip the camera the entire time in my right hand, and have a wrist lanyard for safety. This can be fatiguing with a larger DSLR (the D800 in particular had almost no thumb rest and it was agonizing to carry. The D850 is much better, but is just heavy and gets tiring on the wrist after several hours). The D7500 is extremely comfortable in this regard because of its blobmera shape and light weight. The Z series FF cameras are in the middle ground of just “ok”. The OM-5 was very good.TO BE CONTINUED
>>4489357It’s called being used to being the only non-virgin in the roo , meets MBA training, meets the experience of lording over an army of losers. My job as a senior manager at amazon consists of bullying inferior, failed men who don’t have their life together or any priorities beyond how they feel at themoment so they can get the message and learn to succeed, or go rot in a hole.Like I offer them the way to keep their job I offer you the way forward. Camera quality matters if your photos matter. A photo is only important as its subject and who it is for. If your photos are not important, you are wasting your time and money vibing out while no one cares. Hustle or die. I also offer you the option to quit. Just admit that cameras only dont matter when the photos don’t matter, and be on your way, continue not mattering. This means you have to acknowledge that cameras can matter (if the photos do). This is the last you will hear, nerd. Lunch is over. And I am firing someone named guptal today, for doing the bare minimum and spending 4 hours in the bathroom.
>>4489355What about photography as a pursuit of art? Being able to communicate through visual media can be a very challenging practice that takes a lot of time and practice to succeed at. I am NOT justifying snapshits of tree branches and fences. It just seems like your argument is not considering that there are people using cameras as a means to express themselves artistically rather than being human security cameras strolling through the forest.
>>4489360Based hustle chadFire dem micro four thirdies. If they’re not pros, they dont need cameras. Based! Trad! Work ethic! Hustle! Efficiency! Synergy! Profit! BASED!

>>4489236I just post the 2nd tier shit that barely survives culling. If I posted my good images you could just reverse image search it and doxx me. And because I'm from Germany and I have a problem with Jews the authorities would put me behind bars.
>>4489200that "green tint" is called grass. you should touch it some time, sweaty
>>4489303>I'm from Germany and I have a problem with Jews the authoritiesUm, based?Christoph is that you?
>>4489304>the sky, notorious for being green. from the grass. >>4489303narcissistic lying

What the actual hell is wrong with my editing and photo something looks very wrong in the photo and I can’t decide on what it is I’m trying to get like a vibe Juno claspo but it doesn’t really fit that vibe
This was shot on a Canon 5D 12mp and edited in LR 3.5 on a Pentium 3 1ghz Dell c610 laptop with 2gb of RAM running XP SP3 on an IDE 40gb 4200rpm spinnydiskYour arguments, all of them in this thread, from all of you, are invalid.
>>4488401based blind man
>>4488199those star trails bug me, them seem incidental instead of intentional when clearly some level of effort went into taking & editing that photo
>>4489293Prolly just a side effect of exposing a night scene so long. I feel like anon didn't really care about three stars in the sky having a bit of a tail.In fact I would have liked it more if they were even longer (but like, 10x as long)
>>4489294>Prolly just a side effect of exposing a night scene so long.yes that's usually how you get star trailsI'm saying I would have retouched them out of the photo, or let it expose for like 4x as longthat's already like a 5' exposure, and either dawn or moonlight, so probably couldn't let it expose for much longer or the lighting changes too much
what is going to be your next hobby now that no one cares about good photos on any platform at all?
>>4489205Why is it always black and white with you dweebs.Weddings can be your bread & butter that allow you to take other photos.It's photography work that won't be replaced by AI and work that allows you to actually have an income from doing the thing you love.Does that mean you ONLY have to shoot weddings? Of course not you dweeb. Have a little broader mindset for fucks sake
>>4489218>/p/ was never good.this was an excellent board in the past, night and day with the trash thats currently posted, shit threads staying for months, thats death.
>>4489207What does this even mean? Aside from me just like taking photos and trying to preserve certain aspects and memories in an artistic way, for me to look back on, and share with family and friends, it's a hobby like any other hobby, and people's hobbies can and do change. 10 years ago my hobbies were video games and general fitness. When my wife and i had a kid I had to change up my life, which included my hobbies. So I basically went back to two of them that I did as a kid, hiking and photography.
>>4489257Bro really doesn't know that sand mandalas are one of the ascended forms of meditation
>some retard building sand castles every day that no one looks ateven if people doesnt look at things, they still influence the world. im on team photo is dead, but that was just so ignorant man.
What makes pic related so uncanny and unpleasant to look at? Is it the lack of shadows? Why would a photographer go for such effect?
>>4489126Retarded, or replying to own bait?
>>4489132Both.
>>4489126Funny how you didn't mention Canon because all professionals use Canon. No Canon = not pro. Just facts. Sorry about your bruised ego, you can get butthurt all you want, it's the objective truth. No professional would accept Sony images and no one paying a professional will be content with Sony images. Just facts.
>>4488991Most probably homosexuality
If this were /ic/, I'd say body proportions and perspective are all wrong.The combination of the hips being so much wider than the waist (perspective distortion?) and the lighting dropping off too quickly between cheeks and back (local adjustments?) suggests that the lower body is completely detached from the upper body.The lighting also makes everything look fake, but I can't explain that.
Should i get a Sony zv-e 10 II new or a Lumix S II.My goal is 4k 30fps with the highest dynamic range possible, 10bit log and fast sensor readout speed (low jellow)
>>4488812You're right about the apertures and f1.4 being a meme for it, but you do need an ND filter, that's the one piece of gear that is unquestionably needed unless you only film indoors.
>>4481494>posted it again award
>>4488812You need an ND filter if you shoot any kind of log during daylight, even stopped down
>>4488812>No need of an ND filterIf you shoot "cienema" you are gonna be shooting with a 180degree shutter. With a base iso of most cameras at 800, 1/48s outside is going to be fucking impossible. Even 100iso will be a stop over at f16.
>>4481589>unzips dickAI porn is so good its unreal. dont even need OF anymore
Anyone else here working a regular job/day job as a photographer? I've been working as a real estate photographer for a while and still do side jobs for things like corporate portraits/events, and I'm curious if anyone else on /p/ works in photography too.
>>4488755It's funny how so many gurus and people in your life say to make your job your hobby. Same thing with cars too, I knew a guy that loved cars and then fucking hated them and never did shit to his own car ever again after he started working as a mechanic. He let his car pretty much rot because he couldn't stand doing what he already did for work as an after work project.
>>4488758Entry/mid level jobs require you to sell your soul to excel spreadsheets or lung cancer for pennies over minimal legal wage with unpaid overtime. Anything that can get you away from today's hellish market is desired
>>4489009>he thinks the photography/filmography industry isn't also soul crushing or pays more than penniesLol
>>4489141I meant that market of regular jobs is so unbearable to people any escape plan is giving them hope. that means escaping right into the trap of even more competitive and ungrateful industry or hell of getting contracts for small buisness survival
>>4489179Gotcha. Same thing I did, I was in a normie regular job and jumping into a full time professional photography job sounded like a dream come true, but it just meant getting fucked in pay and essentially being told I was really lucky and other people dream of getting the job. I've no doubt they replaced in me in seconds but who knows how long the new guy will last, the industry rotates through normal people fast while only the people who are willing to be shit on will remain.
I need to find this location in map or this country
Looks like the east side of Moscow
I have way better gear but this little fucker has become a great companion for vlogging, even with all the drawbacksDo you have a favorite flawed piece of gear?
The quality is shit but the audio is great
Kodak ZI8.
>>4483068Man, that takes me back. Remember when Flip cameras were all the rage for what, two or three years there, before “smartphones” really took over? I had a Kodak one that had jelly video like crazy but it could do 720p! Used it quite a bit lol.
>>4483080The ZI8 had a few advantages over the Flip>1080p instead of 720p>Used SD cards instead of internal memory>Mic jack>Image stabilization (whatever that consisted of)I remember I had a "rig" for mine that consisted of a cheap "L" bracket with a couple of cold-shoe mounts that I used for the mic and for an external light. Yeah, it was an interesting time. Smartphones were around, but they hadn't completely taken over. And even then, the cameras on them were just "okay." So to get full HD in something that fit in your pocket AND was under $200 was pretty cool.
>>4473540is that a fucking iDroid?
was this image taken on film or digital? https://files.catbox.moe/9jjcnu.jpg
>>4488728obvious film>multicolored grain>missed focus>no shadow density
>>4488735How can you tell the difference between multicolored grain and multicolored noise?
>>4488728dynamic range feels low but i cant really tell thowhat the fuck is this captcha? oh i get it now
>>4488735>missed focusWhere?
Insta threadWill follow anyone>horgen_fotoHad anyone got tips on how to find less popular content?The algorithm is just feeding me terrible tiktok reels with millions of views all day long.
Can anyone guide or help me to recovering my account? I noticed that my account's email got mysteriously changed but I was in the middle of a trip to be able to do anything about it. And now I can't access it at all because the faggot who took it changed the passwords.
What is the best export setting for this piece of trash website? It burled the fuck out of my photos. I uploaded them from website and they were fine but phone they look like they were taken on a fucking potato FUUUUCCCK
>>4488603Zuck will ask you to send him videos of your butthole. Contact the insta team asap
>>4488784That's not due to any export setting. Instagram often just likes to not show the full (Instagram) resolution of images when you view them. Sometimes it "pops in" after a short while, but it has nothing to do with your local connection. It is insta deciding not to give your images bandwidth.
>>4488784I had the same problem. Instagram seems to be optimized for phones (as it was originally designed to be a platform for phone pictures) So if you use high format pictures those appear bigger and in higher resolution on the phone. Anything else will get compressed to shit and only be shown very small naturally.
