Goodbye photoshop.
>>4484670>flexes getting duped like a foolEspecially if you have money it even more retarded to spend it on software, lmao.
>>4490037What should we be spending money on? Why is buying software bad?
>>4490037>>4490146Buying things is fine. Reasonable purchases are the hallmark of a functioning capitalist society.The more docile take is that Adobe hasn't added anything meaningful since CS5 and uses a predatory and overpriced model to squeeze consumer dry while offering few reasons to upgrade or subscribe. Since you can't (legally or through first-party channels) get a hold of older versions for less money, new users are stuck in this late-stage shithole that is Adobe subscriptions.>inb4 buying things badBuying terrible value products is bad.
>>4490151>The more docile take is that Adobe hasn't added anything meaningful since CS5Sounds more like early versions of Photoshop are fine for normies, but they have definitely added a lot since then. Their pricing model is cheaper than it was historically, like with CS5, and more accessible now. All things considered, it's still relatively cheap for how much time I use it.Older versions were more expensive. The only price increase for me has been within the last year, going from $10/month to a whopping $15/mo. If it's bad value for you, don't get it. But saying it's bad value in general is very silly.
Thank you, Shantanu Naharayaniyenu.
So I see some absolutely beautiful sunrises at work this time of year. Realistically what kind of gear would I be looking at to get better than my phone camera (iPhone 14). Not sure on what I’m looking for, but I would also like it to be capable of low light exposure/ night time for aurora. Literally have no idea on what I need and the options available out there are worst than trying to figure out what caliber you need for accuracy out at 300 vs 1,500 yards. Is the iPhone just good enough for my amateur needs?
>>4489472>>4489473>>4489474proof that location + eye are more important than gear

>>4489583no these photos look really bad5d+24-105 f4 = photography solved
>>4490162>5d+24-105 f4Yeah, a used Canon 5D (any model really, with shutter count under 250k) and the cheapest Canon L lens (24-105mm is a good guess) will be ok for your purposes. They can take the weather and have enough dynamic range for your sunset needs.>>4489541>>4489550>>4489553Photography is actually a really fun and exciting hobby, but /p/eeps are like this so OP you should just scram away as fast as you can
Should wild subjects have privacy?
This is one of the reasons why I appreciate photographing insects. People care a lot less. There's like a million of them.When we have like 4 owls in that one patch of woods and there's 50 photographers going after it (exaggeration) I can see where the issues start. So much attention will disrupt their lifecycle. And when there's so few individuals...

Which camera bag do you currently own? Does anything currently compete with the McKinnon Sling in terms of price+quality+features? Trying to find one of a similar size that will be comfortable enough for moving around.
I know 2-3 people in the last /bag/ liked my camera bag setup a few months ago, good news is I just saw it show up for sale on buyee. The 80-320mm is a decent tele too for the money if its in decent shape if you're a Pentax shooter but the 24-105mm it comes with looks moldy.Shipping will kill the deal but at least the lens its coming with is a nice bonus if you're a Pentax shooter. https://buyee.jp/item/jdirectitems/auction/l1201632331?conversionType=jdirectitems_auction_DirectSearch#group=nogroup&photo=0
>>4485788I mostly use the 500AW and my sigma 150-600 also takes up most of the space. But I can still fit a couple of other lenses plus some other shit like a small bottle and gloves. It's quite heavy though, the bag itself already weighs 2 kg. I also have the 350AWII but it's too small, my D750 doesn't even fit in height with an L-bracket attached.
>>4487072I have Billinghams that are 20-30 years old and the leather is still perfectly fine. The trim on the new models also seems to be of the same quality in my experience. Just treat it like you would any other leather item (light greasing once in a while) and it'll last pretty much forever
On a related topic, I'm tired of these pleather lens pouches that start to flake whenever you actually start using them, like pic rel. Any tips for replacement?
>>4487599I have the 350-II, holds my Zf, Z50II, 180-600, 28, 35, 105, 50, and 28-400 with extra batteries, tripod, and pocket light...

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
>>4482272This guy definitely never had a partner to think about giving a Polaroid toThis is an older thread now but girls like Polaroids they’re fun little things to own, I got my gf one one time and she really likes using it it don’t matter if it’s a meme or not if they enjoy it who cares
>>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.
I went out on the streets late and took some photos tonight with this phone, here they are..
>>4490081Yeah it has a miniDV quality, but can't seem to focus, that's probably the low light
>>4490083What model specifically? I might pick one up
I think any old one will do it's GT E3300 Samsung I got this girl the other day
>>4490084Don't know if it accepts large cards for vid if you're doing that, you won't have much time, probably better finding an old miniDV camcorder
>>4490086I mean mostly for the photos, I was just impressed it could do video at all.
Been shooting photos forever and think it's time to buy a modernism digital camera. Currently own an original Sony 7 that's starting to show it's age. Looking for a small-ish, used, interchangeable lens camera to 'upgrade' to. I'll be using it as a general EDC walk around but also to shoot professional architecture photos. Must haves:>BSI sensor as a main reason for me to shoot digital is for low light performance >tilty screen that can flip down (NOT out to the side)>SS dial>Cost <$1500calThings I don't care about>AF performance>Video>Menus
>>4489936Nice downgrade

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.

was this image taken on film or digital? https://files.catbox.moe/9jjcnu.jpg

>>4488735>missed focusWhere?
>>4488728What's going on here? Some very shitty implementation of ICE?Anyway I think it's probably film, just very weirdly scanned/postprocessed. Or digital that someone spent too much of their time on trying to make it half-convincingly look like film for a gotcha effect.
>>4488728clearly no /mu/tants in this thread, its the cover for the album Wildflower by the Avalanches (not nearly as good as Since I Left You btw). wiki says the cover photo was taken by gen kay https://genkay.com/ and their website offers few clues other than that they pretty clearly work with both digital and film. I'd reckon on it being film based on the grain, as well as the aesthetic of the artist they were doing the work for.

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
>>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.)

>>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.

Can even use it as a webcam while attached to a PC with minimal fuss.>>4489300I see nothing of the sort. There's a menu item in the camera to enable or disable the date stamp though.>>4489412No. It looks like a dashcam from 2009. Far too oversharpened to be mistaken for VHS.>>4489417Funny because it already looks like liquid ass at night so if the Chamera is worse I'd say dont even bother outside of good light.Anyway,It's a 3MP 16:9 ratio, 1080p video dashcam sensor with no manual controls, an e-shutter, a bunch of mostly gay and a couple useful filters, with strong sharpening and the only way to adjust exposure is burried in the menu via an EV setting (which is still nice to have but fuck me I wish it were a button).Comment too long.
