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.

>>4489436>>4489437Nice, especially the first, but they could use some increased luminosity
>>4489578Thanks.New-ish to editing and color blind, so I've got a lot working against me (also this was at F11, 1/5000th on a 100-400 + 2x tele)Not sure if I should just crank the exposure or something else here...
>>4489674In low light situations, there are a couple things you want to typically adjust for.1. Shoot wide open to get the maximum amount of light possible2. Adjust shutter speed (subject dependent). You'll obviously get more exposure with a longer shutter speed, but with a target like your humming bird you're limited to a faster shutter speed.3. Look at your histogram, ideally it should be 2/3 on the right. If it's not, you're probably underexposed and should adjust your exposure compensation on your camera to bring it up. There's also an artistic aspect to exposure compensation, where some might purposefully under or over expose to get their intended shot.
Random photos you took at night
>>4488406Some cropping will also be required if the lens exhibits any focus breathing. Modern software is pretty good at correcting for moderate amounts when stacking, but it needs to be taken into consideration when composing the shot as well.
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.

>>4486706Great shot anon. I genuinely like all your photos here, your shots have a lot of soul. Keep on doing what you're doing.
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?
>>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.

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.

>>4489584>voluntarily worseYes, but you conveniently ignore when they are voluntarily betterYou should be equally as critical of other brands for being voluntarily worse too, but you aren'tThere 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 limitation>Maximum Aperture Lv is necessary for low-light photography and they've only added it to 3(?) of their cameras.So is lowlight EV focusing, which again, you only seem to place any blame on NikonWhy is the canon only at -6.5EV? Why don't you call them out for their own limitations too?>>4489565Sony had the best AF, but if you have AF issue with a Zf, that is user error, mine has been perfect and I guarantee I've shoot with it more and in darker environments than you haveYou should share some examples for us like I asked
>>4489631>A7cII>-5EV with f1.4LOL
>>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)

>>4489494I actually like the crop putting them on the other side. Nice. I need to learn to stop avoiding cropping so much.>>4489506That wasn't my edit, but as I said when I posted the RAW, these were among the first photos I took on my camera, and it was done out of a car window while driving fast. I didn't know yet how to properly expose, let alone dial in different settings at a moment's notice. I took over 10,000 photos on that trip and a great many of them are ghastly from a technical perspective, but I caught some really interesting moments, and many of them were accidentally exposed nicely, or are serviceable enough to salvage and show to people who don't care/know any difference.I would much rather be someone who takes photos in poor light conditions so I can practice and learn, than to be someone who takes no photo at all. :)

What's /p/'s opinion on one of the most viewed (online) photographers?>Sex And Takeout is an ongoing viral series on the unnecessary and unkind social boundaries and cultural taboos forced upon women’s bodies. By indulging in sex and junk food, Bahbah proposes a celebration of the self. Inspired by her personal battle with disordered eating, Sex And Takeout is a declaration of overcoming guilt and shame. Through this series, Bahbah unpacks expectations of femininity and challenges her own standards of beauty.

>>4485108>>4485109Yes, Sky-Watcher 300P GoTo. I was going to get the non-computerised one but my dad told me I would regret it and it's worth the extra money and I can still get the fun out of manually finding objects. I have to say I'm glad I went with the GoTo. It's been the same here, I've used it once since I bought it three weeks ago because it's just been shit weather but the radar looks good for tomorrow night so hopefully I get a good night of viewing the outer planets + the Moon. Mine was advertised with 20mm and 12.5mm and that's what I got. Maybe they changed it and forgot to update it. And yes, it's Saturn and Titan (the gold one to the left). I'm going to try and tinker with the mirrors to get them better alligned because I noticed some aberration especially with Jupiter, I want to buy some higher power eyepieces soon. Did you get any use out of the phone holder yet? It seems really chinky and cheap and I don't really fancy messing about with it in the cold trying to take sub-par pictures.
>>4485111Nice, I sort of tried the phone mount but it doesn't seem to fit very snug, you can't secure it very tight or you'll just end up gouging out bits of rubber from your eyepieces plus if your phone has multiple cameras you'll have to keep moving it side to side when you manually focus, not viable when your target is zooming across the view in <10 seconds. I read that the Celestron phone mounts sit much more secure with the giant clamp but that only solves one issue. Don't do what I did and get a cheap laser collimator either, you'll spend more time trying to collimate the collimator than using it on the mirrors, only to find when you put it in your scope in the 2" adapter it came with that it wiggles around anyway, just use the collimation cap that came with the scope.

We rate them on the couch together, looking at them on the TV, then I delete the bad ones from our Linux server before sending a big archive to cloud.We do this process once a year, around new year's.If anyone is interested, I'll link the github. What other tools would you suggest that have a high WAF "Wife acceptance factor" for this process?
>>4489605Slave morality, imagine taking photos for the approval of others. You're so henpecked it hurts lol
>>4489605Interesting you make this post just as I began using FastStone as my image viewer. I edit in RawTherapee but it is so bad for quickly viewing photos and culling. It’s way too slow. FastStone, on the other hand, gives me a full-screen view with click to zoom and I can press a button to tag the photos I want to keep then sort out the untagged photos into a trash folder. It’s so much better than RawTherapee.
>>4489609And interesting you say that, because our previous app was faststone. I just wanted a more couch friendly / dumbed down UX.
Give it straight to me, /p/. Are Leica M cameras a meme? Or are they worth it?Mainly for portraits, and rock and leaves.
