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.)
>>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.
>>4484429I've just watched that video a few days ago and it's actually pretty interesting.That video wasn't a collab with Laica, he just tells a story at the end that halfway through production of that video (where he borrowed two Leicas from his buddies to try out) Leica coincidentally invited him to work on some future project.So that video wasn't an ad. Whether or not you think that would influence his conclusions is up to you I suppose
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

>>4482682Love the XA, it is always in my pocket
>>4490339Does it fit into a jeans pocket? I want something that I can EDC without having to wear a fanny pack. Yoshihisa Maitani apparently carried clay prototypes of the XA until he decided on a maximum thickness of 4cm, which led to the development of the ultra thin 35mm f/2.8.

I want to buy a Christmas gift for a girl and I thought of a polaroid as a great gift for her. My question to you, /p/ederasts, is whether it's worth it and not just a meme
>>4487634ok simp
>>4482274seeeeeeex
>>4482270What's a /p/ederast, Walter?
>>4482270OP I'm just going to point one thing out.This >>4482272>If you want to buy her a camera, buy her a real camera.Pay attention to the wording because it's truer than you realise. If 'YOU' want to buy her a camera.If she doesn't want a camera, then this is a gay ass idea and you're doing the classic trap of buying a gift for someone (You) would like instead of something they would like.
>>4482270Why wouldn't you think it's worth it? Does she pull out the phone camera for everything she eats? Take selfies? If you've seen her bedroom, does she have shit like string lights on the wall?>make sure she doesn't already have an InstaxOr even if she does, there's the also the Wide models, or printers that connect to your phone.
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?

>>4490219There's a significant percentage of women whose entire self-worth has been based on the market value of their vagina. Nothing is a stonger denial of their self worth than someone who places their poop hole as more important than their life giving slimy hole. Most humans are simple animals.
The lighting setup has been designed to provide maximum coverage from all angles.The photographer likely wanted to work fast and cheap, so he's not shooting this like an artistic shoot. He's trying to get the maximum number of ok shots in as short a time as possible. What you end up with is the very flat 80s Style porn mag look that we see here.

Are CCD bridge cameras the best way to hop into the CCD trend? I don't want to have to get APS-C lenses for a CCD SLR and digital point and shoot seem terrible. Anyone have experience or their own shots to post? TIA

>>4490250>random photog buzzword defenceYou larping idiot, the placemat in the very front of the foreground is in perfect focus, and the apple isn't."Diffraction", like you even know what that means lmao.
raw -> jpeg otherwise no edits than a cropolympus e500 + 50mm f/2 macrolike i said earlier op pick up a 4/3rds like a e300/e500 or e400 (europe) if you dont wanna buy a bunch of lenses. the lenses are rare and expensive for 4/3rds and you'll be <$100 in most cases.just be warned they really aren't good past iso 400, this was at iso 250 f2.0 1/500. the apsc ccds are good until 800 iso from the bigger sensor size. otherwise 6-10mp is enough for social media/4ch anywaysits a fun camera to use...even if it has 3 autofocus points and really needs light
>>4490260i did notice just now the pics tend to take a bit of a blue tint if i use awb, setting the wb to auto in lightroom helps more (this was edited more from raw but it doesn't look too far off from the jpeg honestly)wonder if it would hurt using a 1b skylight filter i have a bunch of those
>>4489488this,I got an ISTD and just share my Tamron lens with my K50 lmao
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

>>4490234>You just take a look behind the lens mount.I mean before I buy it/when deciding what to buy, how would I tell?>A modern APS-C sensor will outperform a 20 year old FF sensor in most areas except low-light aquisitionIn what sort of areas? Actual image clarity and detail, or? You say "except for low light shooting", but that's really the main thing I'm concerned about, unless camera with a newer sensor would straight up also capture more detail all other things being equal>Yes there are spec sheets for SNR and DR per ISO value, but No, you can't really compare cameras this way. There are too many other variables.If it's quantified and I can find that information, why isn't it useful to compare, provided I'm also looking at other variables that matter like full frame vs crop sensors, resolution, IBIS, etc?Can you explain what SNR and DR here mean in reference to ISO so I know how to read those values?>>4490218>>4490225Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>4490273A 5DII is about half a stop better in SNR than something like an A6600, yet if you're shooting stationary or slow moving subjects then the latter can gain you up to 5 stops with IBIS. Also the A6600 has more dynamic range across the whole ISO range. And it will be able to focus faster and more reliably in low light. And finally being a mirrorless camera with an EVF you'll actually be able to see what you're taking a photo of in dark conditions without having to resort to using the rear display (and if you do need it the newer crop body has an articulated screen versus the fixed one on the 5D).SNR = basically how much noise you'll get at a particular ISO, the signal to noise ratioDR = the dynamic range is the range between the darkest and lightest areas of an image that the camera can capture, with a low dynamic range you'll get shadows appearing as pure black and highlights as pure white where as a higher dynamic range will get you more detail in those shadows and highlights

>>4489881Looks to be a species of grackle. Not sure which, there's a handful of black variations depending on region.
>>4489817How does it look better than m43 ISO 800?
>>4489875Great shot desuI don't know much about color blindness, but if it's only affecting the perception of colors it shouldn't be an issue regarding fixing what I pointed out on the previous shots - which is only related to tonality (underexposure). But I'm not colorblind so I could be wrong
>>4490118Not sure if gearbaiting, but better dynamic range because FF is 3-4x the sensor size so noise is amplified.Anything beyond the 2 stop DR difference is due to ETTR (more signal to overwhelm the noise. High ISOs from any sensor can look pretty much fine with sufficient light.

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.
