>>4488176You're completely ignoring the fact that I accurately noticed how heavily denoised your photo is. Next you need to accept the fact that you missed focus. As for the subjective side of things, I think it's a flat boring photo. It's over processed in the exact same way as the rest of your shots here. Back to objectivity:>shadows pushed way too high to try and compensate for poor exposure>saturation and vibrance pushed to make up for washing out your colors with previously mentioned step>heavily denoisedThis is why you have haloing and banding on top of your flat artificial looking snapshots. Just trying to help but you're too high on the fumes generated from polishing turds.
>>4488177I can give you the raw. Put up or shut up.
>>4488184You focused on the leaves on this plane. Behind the bird.
>>4488185AF box was on the eye and at f/10; focus was fine. You're now complaining about editing and won't take the raw because you're an armchair warrior. I'm disengaging from this conversation with you.
>>4488186>posts a 509x334 image with an orange box on it to "prove" he focused properlyLmao you already posted it at 3000x2000 so we can see you focused on the leaves behind the bird. You just keep outing yourself as a notphotog too; Learn how to use your eyes instead of relying on computers, retard. Your full auto approach is why your shots look like ass, shitty compositions aside.
What makes Japan such an desired place for photography? I'm really trying to understand the hype around it. When I visited of course the size of Tokyo itself opens lots of opportunities but I quickly notice that it gets repetitive rather fast. All muh taxis look the same, the buildings have a pattern that repeats a lot. If you've seen a few shrines/temples.. in the end they all look the same. Even if you visit other prefectures you won't see much of a difference. Whenever I see camera vlogs or flickr uploads in Japan I now tend to skip because it's always the same. My current number one location would probably be Germany. Still safe enough to bring your camera with you, every state has it's own architectural style. Towns are usually a comfy mix between old medieval houses in the center with grim 60s bauhaus constructions that look really odd. Also home of Leica where this sort of everyday compact photography started. What do you think? What's your prefered location?
>>4488092If you're doing specific work, then using the right tools for the job is what's most important. But you can do whatever when it's not work related.I'm getting more into the frame of mind where I just pick one focal length for the day and then stick with it. I've been using zoom lenses for the last 15 years and fucking hated carrying that big ass camera and lens around.I got an x100vi recently with the two conversion lenses and I love how tiny and light it is. I just pick between the 26, 35 and 50 for the day and stick with it. Don't carry anything else with me. It's great. Yeah you're going to miss some shots from not having the versatility of a zoom, but having a camera that's so light around my neck that I don't even notice it massively outweighs the lack of versatility for me. It's a great and powerful little camera.I'm looking at some Nikon stuff too though that I might buy in February or something. Those 1,8 primes look great, light weight and very affordable. The 26 2,8 pancake looks very promising too. I prefer 26 over 24. It's a subtle difference, but I think 24 juuuuust has a little too much lens distortion where I find the 26 to be a cleaner look that's wide enough to justify it next to also having a 35 which is my sort of primary "scene" focal length.
>>4487722based, im spending a week in hokkaido in feb. can't wait
>>4488047i was at a park in tokyo and there was a big group of ojisans with GIANT lenses hanging out drinking tea and taking photos of birds. i wish i could have bros like them.
>>4488154>hokkaidois the most fun city name to say. Every time I say it, it comes out my mouth with all this extra pizazz, like a samurai in a 70s exploitation movie, with a big long gravelly Hhhhhhhoooo KAIDOOOOOO. I love it.
>>4488155Yeah, it's primarily two groups:a.) Retired bros with zoom lensesb.) Scrawny 20yo nerds with bigger zoom lenses taking pictures of trainsPretty sure you can easily get buddy buddy with the former if you speak the language. In my experience, old guys generally like chit-chatting with foreigners in all manner of situations.
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
>>4487570Just ordered one for $20 dollarydoos. If it's shit it just becomes a cheap decoration piece which I'm honestly fine with
I bought a six-pack to give to my family for Christmas. I'm keen. I'm debating whether I should give one to my Mum though because, on the one hand, she's going overseas next year but, on the other hand, she's utterly retarded with technology and she may not use it or find it awkward. She's also at that stage where she's basically blind to anything two feet in front of her face so I doubt she'd enjoy the experience of using it. I want to give one to my cousin instead. She's also going overseas and she's not a tech-illiterate boomer either but I would hate to make the rest of my extended family feel left out or whatever.
>>4487751>>4487763The listing on Aliexpress claims it has autofocus. I think that is a lie but in case it does, I am intrigued to hear how well it works, since the real Charmera is fixed focus.

Wetplate EditionPlease post film photos, talk about film photography, film gear like cameras, film stocks, news, and tips/tricks in this thread.Also talk about darkroom practices, enlargers, photo paper, techniques like dodging/burning, tools, and equipment related to enlarging, developing, and printing.Thread Question: What alternative processes would you like to try?Previous thread: >>4476005
>>4487982lovely pastel colors and very liminal space-like
>>4487803lol>but even if we were off by 1000yeah fully grasping how small atoms are can be difficult
>>4488098Ive done an experiment where I placed a 4x5 glass plate inside a 35mm only enlarger and was able to max out my enlarger height and still no grain. Only softness from optics/atmosphere/imprecise focusing was showing up.The funny part is that wetplates typically look better when taken with a soft lens. Using an ultra sharp modern lens can, unsuprisingly, make them look "too sharp" and kind of harsh in a way.
alright bros im thinking about only taking a wide angle for my next trip, reckon i can get decent night shots in big cities with a 28mm 3.5 wide open w 400 iso, should be able to do 1/30?

I'm so glad we're all going to gamble our entire economy and energy industry so Ai can replace everything and everyone as quickly as possible. Finally we can all sit in our little cardboard boxes looking at 6.5-fingered cartoon boobgirls.
I feel like they're a powerful tool in a photograph.
>>4488088>I feel like they're a powerful tool in a photograph.I agree. I'd hand moop one of those to hold if I were shooting his portrait. Those products have political comic charm.
I'm suddenly imagining a generic product shot, where the item is resting in the center while surrounded by a gratuitous amount of colored lights with a pointlessly extravagant background. Then you could shoehorn some slogan that pertains to being plain and functional while surrounded by outlandish attempts to stand out.

>>4481623One or two % of acetic acid is enough if you do not reuse stop. So 2 parts of 5-10% white vinegar and 8 parts of water. Less water if you save the stop for next time. Few % citric acid also works, and does not stink like vinegar. About 30g / liter or oz per quart or whatever. Molds can grow in dilute citric acid so better not store it...
>>4481645The vinegar stink is what etched the darkroom into my memory from high school, highly recommended
>>4481623Advantage of acidic stop is it stops developing immediately (which matters if using fact acting develoer) and it keeps fixer PH down if you reuse it.

Does anyone use GIMP for photo editing and manipulation? Has it become a "photographer's program" yet, or is it still clunky and freetarded?
>>4481367What is this? Somekind of edge detection algo run on a high entropy image? ig a splash of water or just the surface of turbulent water, i am probably wrong.
>>4487887Nta. Looks like one of the inbuilt G'MIC effects you can apply in GIMP (and other GNOOO software). They're mostly memes but you can get some neat effects.
At this point Lightroom/PS combo is the only thing stopping me from ditching Windows. I'd love to see an actually good alternative that does everything those two apps do, but there isn't one.
I use Darktable for editing jpg:s also.
>>4488079It's a good tool overall, but it can't do compositing and layering well or at all. For my product photography, I need both.
What is the future of photography /pIf you were starting today what would you buy?Will stand alone cameras start needing more technological integrated features?Will cameras push harder for realism and imbedded certificates to show its a real photo or will cameras start integrating inbuilt editing features to add in skies on blown photos etc? Will standalone cameras start adding features to make short form video?I’m just worried buying today the world of photography is about to go through its most drastic change in its entire existence and this will occur over the next 10 yearsThoughts?
>>4487857Well, AI has to eliminate noise, aberrations and fuzz and then generate the perfect photo from what's left with plausible detail that is not in original to make the result look natural. I don't think current models can do that yet. But I'm no expert in AI or using AI.But I do think graphic designers are already truly screwed.The left one is part of my own filtered photo of turbulent water. I asked Grok to "find 24 shapes from this image which could be good logo of startup but different from any existing logo and draw them as lineart in 4x6 grid" (sic)
>>4488049>getting paid to generate a bunch of random shapes is a doomed career pathWell yes, but actually no.The good graphic designers are still going to completely BTFO any AI generated shit smear because AI is only good at identifying, repeating and feeding into patterns.A top-shelf graphic designer will still find work for the businesses that want to disassociate with AI. Genuinely good design is still the hallmark of a human mind (for now) and it's very obvious when genuine thought and talent went into a graphic. It's just the semi-unemployed post-grads that are fucked, and rightly so.
>>4488055I do not disagree. I've asked AI find most "important" or shapes from abstract turbulence and what it finds simply is not at all what human brain would pick up. AI can generate unlimited boring slop but AI also is already very good doing generic busywork and management. Top-self creative people will keep their jobs but there are not that many of those.
future of photo is literally AI, but this cumslurping board is too dumb to get that. we should be having AI photo threads
