Post your man bags
No clue what this bag is but I love it. I paid 6 dollars on Ebay for and it's padded pretty well and has plenty of room. This has been my carry lately, Nikon ZF with the Nikkor 50 f2, 7Artisans 35mm f1.4, and Canon FL 135 f2.5.
Manfrotto Advanced Shoulder bag M IIIGOOD STUFF, CANT FIT SHIT IN IT THO.
>>4464558I might honestly copy you. Bag looks crisp for a Pentax fan>>4464650I find non descript backpacks are best, messenger are for when I want to feel ghey
>>4465233I wear a collared shirt every day because I don't want society to judge me (I'm 30+ and am a tall white man)a backpack is fine but I look like I'm going on a hike or something with the 2 different straps pulling against my shirt. my goal with my gay bag is to look like I just have my phone and wallet in a work bag and make people not think I'm carrying gear
More people should wear Douchebags
What are your setups? Which products can you recommend? And wtf are the bastards from negative supply snorting to justify their pricing?speaking of: Does anyone have the STLs from tonecarrier? I am a poor bastard and want to try them out. other than that, I had no luck with the free printables you find on thingyverse etc.
>>4465079Since you've got it right next to your PC, you should try just plugging it straight in there. You can check the focus on a march larger screen and check your inverter workflow to make sure your exposures are getting the most detail. Personally I was trying to do ETTR with mine and I found that that cameras metering were actually a lot better.
This is my setup for scanning slides. The backlight uses the RGB trick, it's an LED strip which I cut up and arranged in a matrix, then used a diffuser film from an old LCD monitor and a bit of acrylic.Since it's single slides, I just decapsulate the film and this little magnet clamp/holder thingy I printed in PLA holds the edges flat which works well enough.The camera bracket is PETG and braces the lens which means I don't have to faff around with yaw adjustment.I used a Pi to control a little bluetooth remote. The Sony has a built in FTP upload which is super useful.Everything else is aliexpress tat, but it's all straight enough to not be a concern.Since I don't actually shoot film and this was just for archiving family stuff, it's all kind of disposable
>>4465223Uh, I got rotated it seems
Then this is my ridiculous machine based on a 3D printer board that blows through whole carts of slides at a time. Same lens/camera/backlight as before though. For this one, it's a Pi again, but I used tethering instead as there's a webcam in there for capturing the front of the slides at the same time for automated labelling. libgphoto worked but was a bit flaky (once it started working, everything was fine as long as I didn't touch any menus in the camera)I forgot to mention the lens: Sony 50mm macro. It's a really good macro lens, but it's not a great prime because the electronic focus is so slow
And finally, this stupid lil' guy. I think an apt name would be film destroyer 9000. I need to return to this as I do have a lot of negatives to scan. It's more of a prototype of what became the slide scanner.Important things to learn from this: - Horizontal mounting of the camera is bad because even if your mount is very firm, it seems like the internal lens elements have a bit of sag or something that causes pitch to be an issue. This wasn't as much of a problem for the slide scanner as that was all done at a much smaller aperture. - The backlight is basically the same except I used WS2811 addressable LED strip, it turns out these chips start behaving oddly when they warm up which meant calibrating the channels was a huge PITA. - I used a Pi to control the stepper. This was what caused any damage to the film as the software-controlled stepping was too rough. - Adjusting the focus by screw rail is much easer than using the lens ring.
lemme see your shots for the moon!this is mine btw captured with canon 2000d 55mm i can not remember my camera settingsi gave it some edit with lightroom this is first time with DSLR
>>4464925Basically the top-tier birding setup of our time. If you can be fucked carrying it, it's honestly a feat of engineering.
>>4464930I was thinking more for street photography.
Canon 90D with Tamron 150-600
>>4465207Hell yeah, i have the sigma 150-600
>some of the greatest photographs of human history were, on a technical level, blurry, grainy pieces of shitTell me again why you need edge-to-edge sharpness, 100 megapixels, and the ability to shoot at 124,000ISO?
>>4464679This actually makes perfect sense. Pretty shitty one too. Or maybe it is purposefully being extra retarded. We will never know. Either way it is pretty funny.
>>4464700I can't see the humor after seeing how this exact shit has made things unbearable throughout the site. It means that even this slow board might be a target now. We've already had a noticable uptick in autistic rageposting in the last few months or so.
>>4464716I like to imagine the secret king that thinks he's doing something by using a bot. Post photos, talk about photos posted and ignore the obvious botting. It's really the only way.
>look at shitty photo why you need camera?>look at shitty painting why you need camera?>look at shitty mural why you need camera?>unga bunga look stick draw stand
>>4464533>some of the best photographs in history were on filmwow it's almost like film existed before digital
Old one reached image limit. >>4429946
Has anyone shot here shot with the Tamron 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD or is there a better lens I can get for bird photography in the same price range for an X mount?
>>4465058cutes
Here's a dipper
Kite
birds edition
>>4465015They're great, but feel antithetical to OM's current plans, which is frustrating. I had hope with the 17 and 25 f/1.8s being given a version II we'd see a pen... I guess it's not impossible.
>>4465039Indeed, I fear the OM-3 is the closest we’re getting instead
>>4465152I cannot help but think this line is straight from OMDS markeing: "maybe if we say OM-3 is a successor of Pen series, more people would buy it".
>>4465162I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re thinking:>Only if people buy enough of this 2000$ model, we’ll consider making a new 1000$ model
>>4465182except what they're actually thinking is>I wonder how many suckers are going to buy this $2000 camera before we sink the company for good and retire
Recommend me fantasy photography. Like the folklore. I am sick and tired of human relations bullshit and contemporary news. Any photography related to "contemporary" world is strictly prohibited ITT
>>4464827>cover>bindingthey're shown on the shop page.I have nothing to review, I don't know enough about photobooks to have any authority or taste vocabulary. But a couple people I've shown it to seemed genuinely impressed.An objective fact that I can state is that the photos have different colour mastering than on her portfolio page.
>>4464833Is it better in print? Also what was the price?
>>4464835>Is it better in print?It's just different. More somber than festive. Both are executed well. I think I prefer the print but for purely subjective reasons>Also what was the price?https://origini-edizioni.myshopify.com/collections/the-newest/products/solstice
>>4464848Thanks anon
>>4444614Fixed.
Have you ever gotten a strong emotional response after viewing a specific phot, like you would in a movie ? Or maybe going to an exhibition or reading a book ? Or is photography just "pretty cool" at best ?Pic related is the first response I got when searching " best art photography ever" online. While it's really good and impressive, I can't really say it makes me feel anything in my gut.Post pics that make you feel something, inspiring photographers/books etc.
>>4465112The only people who shun bodies are the same ones who abuse people.
>>4465137>no uThe pedo defense old as age (not the age of their victims off)
>>4465138>offofc I hate spell check
>>4465124>But why even thinka bout "art",because the pursuit of beauty is one of the only ways I have to escape my mortal condition and I wish to find beauty as much as possible in order to escape my condition as much as possible, although temporarily. What people call art is the pursuit of beauty. Hence seeking art is equivalent to seeking beauty, as much as people are able to identify beauty in art.
>someone posted cp itt and claiming it's art
took a jumpship cruise a few months ago, went planetside in adaven to visit sal sagev. gonna dump some images. you may need to adjust your VCI since there were two stars, not to mention the radiation. pretty standard 3 "day" excursion, I won't bore you with too many things you've seen before hopefully.

>>4464991i had a feeling. I recently gotten into film and those popped into my radar shot my first roll of Fuji 400 this past weekendThese films look great, thank you for posting. I wanna try out jazzy blues by ultrafine
This is mega nerd shit lol, I love it though. Good job OP, very creative, nice use of novelty film.
>>4464095Best thread in weeks here.
This thread is dedicated to close-range photographic captures utilising macro-optical imaging configurations to achieve greater reproduction ratios. Got it? Good now upload some shit. Last thread: >>4376661
>>4464971Which by the way has minimum focusing distance of almost 3 meters.You are basically a world away from your subject, and still get some nice details.
>>4464972As for RF 100, well, here's a pic with it.The subject is much smaller than a bumblebee, or even a drone fly, so I probably wouldn't be able to take it with either 55-250 or 150-600, but the shot itself is rather mediocre.And it took (comparatively) a lot of effort to make.Had to get really close to the subject, to the point when a slight sudden movement from me could cause the plant to shake and little dude to fall off the leaf.
What about watches? do any of you do watch photography? it's difficult.
>>4464966>>4464970>>4464971>>4464972>>4464983I ended up buying a Tamron 18-200 lens because it was dirt cheap, which so far I'm not super happy with but I haven't used it too much so too early to say, and a Pentax 55-300 which I bought for taking photos of birds and stuff but I may aswell try it out for macro photos aswell.There's a handful of Pentax 100mm AF Macro lens for around $200 AUD from Japan, and a few manual focus ones for cheaper so I might just get a proper one if I'm not gonna be happy with what I've got
>>4464983The 100mm macros are only worth it if you're trying to take photos a 0.5x mag lens can't do. My 100-400 can get 0.42x @ 200mm but it's kind of unimpressive for total IQ versus the 100mm I own. Kind of depends on your subject size.>>4465003I channeled my inner Ken when I bought my first nice watch and it was surprisingly annoying to get a shot I enjoyed. Even with off-camera flash I felt like I either had far too much diffraction or the light was too harsh.>pic rel EF 100mm Macro IS USM @ MFD @ f/8 with a tripod
Got this for $50, near mint for $20 with all attachments. Any idea how to use a cameras ith it and what camera to get?
OP here. So basically for terrestrial usage i need to educate myself then then get a IR capable DLSR with a T-mount yes?It doesn't have to be great, it just has to work well enough.
>>4464876don't blow your wad on an IR DSLR for wildlife ID. they make much cheaper IR "night vision" video cameras and monoculars for that.IR DSLRs are for artistic/forensics/scientific/astronomy use.night vision digiscoping has 0% in common with photography
>>4464912I'm aware a IR DSLR is probably overkill but they don't seem to cost much for basic versions, it would be nice for it to be able to be used for basic astronomy and also i can be sure to be able to get a T mount for it.
>>4464929>>4464912As an addendum while the primary goal is wildlife ID if we pull this off the kid will almost certainly be in the news so decent quality is a big plus.
The pictures will be taken across Spencer lake in January or early February, i don't think thermal distortion will be a problem across a perfectly flat 5 mile wide 8-10 foot thick sheet of ice at zero to -20 degrees.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Lake
Picrel is not mine, but a Pentax SMC-M 35mm F1.4 that nobody has ever been able to document in the wild, but one forum posts alludes to someone holding one at one point and packaging being sold on ebay 2 decades ago. My rarest lens is probably the Fuji EBC-W Fujinon-W 35mm f1.9, nothing spectacular in terms of value, but hard to find.
>>4461085hey I have the 1:1.2 somewhere slowly molding
>>4464139Probably one of the best vintage 50mm f1.2s.
>>4439378I have almost the full collection of Pentax67 lenses, and I have a huge set of extension tubes for macro. Seems like a nightmare to use and my medium format results usually fall short of my expectations. I may want to offload everything as a lot but it was a grail camera for me in the past and I’ll never obtain that collection again, so feels like a shame. But for some reason my medium format shots suck balls but maybe it’s because the Pentax67 lightmeter sucks balls. Im also getting lightleaks though. REE

>>4465101>>4465160I’m unfamiliar with Sony ecosystem but F2.8 on a modern apsc should have decent lowlight performance. Could you imagine becoming more tolerant of iso noise or motion blur? Both iso noise and motion blur can be artistic choices. Otherwise maybe borrow a FF camera or F1.4 lens before buying. Just to try it out.
>>4465140a7c is smaller and lighter so no. >>4465166It's okayish but depending on the situation AI noise reduction is mandatory. Maybe renting FF is what I should do.
I have been wondering why everything has looked like shit with new lenses only to find that somehow the thing went into 5.9 mega pixel mode instead of being full 24 a few weeks ago.
https://files.catbox.moe/zknpi8.JPGhttps://files.catbox.moe/h3p1zy.JPGIs this what you can expect of 70-200 F4 L at F8? I don't know if this looks sharp, or if it looks like shit or if it's the lenses or if it's the camera or if it's me or if I am zooming too far.I am looking on a 4k tv that's over 40 inches, I turned as many settings off but I still don't know.I am probably just zooming in too much.
>>4465160Calm down anon, they're good cameras and they're cheap. They focus fast and have a good lens selection. I'm also not talking about the 5Ds, but that is a good option too.
