>>4463982Glad you liked it, sure someone would appreciate my “/p/o/st”
>>4463963Only this is not the original British Ilford, but the Swiss (IIRC) trademark troll Ilford that snatched the rights to market color materials under Ilford brand. That's why we have "Harman Phoenix" and not "Ilford Phoenix".The not-Ilford sells Ilfocolor film, I even kind of like it after shooting two rolls desu, just not at the price. And obviously they didn't coat it themselves; some say it's repackaged NC500. Which I also kind of like (would, if it was cheaper), but I didn't compare the two directly.
what are some good sites to buy cameras and camera equipment from? ideally used geari recently tried MPB because i heard good things about them but it turns out they're scammers
I also received a defective product from MPB and it was 2 weeks of hell to get my money back

UsedPhotoPro, on ebay. They're part of Robert's Photo. They're out of Indianapolis and they have a brick and mortar store that's fucking awesome.They do so much ebay they have bins of stuff in their brick and mortar that don't go on ebay, they have batteries, straps, filters, all the little shit you need for the camera but not the camera or lens itself, although now they have a 20 dollar body section and a 15 dollar lens section. I scored three batteries for my D4 for like 20 bucks a piece.Their ebay store is a regular used camera store, and they have good shit cheap. If you find yourself near Indy though, you owe it to yourself to visit. Their brick and mortar has a 14 day return policy, no questions asked.
>>4464330Almost forgot, you can buy on ebay and pick up in their brick and mortar store in Indy, I've bought stuff on ebay from within their store and had them bring it out lol. Bought my Beseler Topcon Super D that way.
>>4464325how did you end up getting the refund?frankly i'm surprised you got it done that fast

>>4440444Skin tones look ugly when using raw conversion on an Adobe profile instead of camera matching profiles. If someone says "skin tones are x color" etc you expect it to not be correctable by white balance as it'll push the rest of the image to opposite complementary colour.Tl;dr Adobe profiles are weirdly bad
What happened to other /p/ discord? The politically incorrect one? Isn't this one filled with libtards?

What’s a decent home printer that prints up to A3 size? I want to print my stuff at home and skip the hassle of getting prints online or at a local store. Yes, I want problems. Anyway, let’s make this a general printer thread.>What’s your experience been like printing your own photos?>Did you print them yourself or professionally?>Have you had bad experiences with any brands, companies or websites? and vice-versa?
>>4463341>>4463345To add, ET-8500 (650 Euro right now) costs in the same ballpark as cheaper pigment ink printers (Epson P700 is 750 Euro), and I think pigment ink may actually have a point, because dye prints seem relatively delicate.
>>4462642Well, I have been following the instructions from the fat Englishman, and using Epson's print utility, and using supported Epson paper, etc, etc. I guess I should get to calibrating the screen, but I'm not holding my breath, because my issue is more about how shadows/blacks feel in paper vs the screen.
>>4463349You can convert an ecotank to pigment ink, never done it myself though. Just get it framed and/or laminated and keep it out of sunlight if you want it to last.
>>4459667Haha, with Epson Print Layout, this printer's default setting (aka "printer manages color") is "perceptual" (or at least it can decide to choose it) and sometimes it would just invent colors.
>>4459667Another fun fact: Epson 10x15 paper is 4x6 inches; Hahnemuhle 10x15 paper is 100x150mm.
Been digging around online trying to figure out how to get that K64 look (big, punchy, saturated, picrel), but found basically nothing. Everyone either goes for K25 or just completely misses the saturation.Not trying to do a perfect emulation or anything, I just want those insane saturated skin tones and deep blues, but every time I try, the edit falls apart. Feels like Lr/Ps just can’t push it far enough, like the digital files don’t have the room. Which makes no sense, since I’ve got a gallery full of scanned film that pulls it off.Anyone here actually manage to get close? Or is it just a lost cause with digital?Anyway, dumping a few Shorpy rips.
>>4464266Here is a crop from an 8x10 negative I took.The crop is around 1/3rd the size of a 35mm negative. Theres roughly 180x more film area on the entire image. Scanned on a shitty epson flatbed. I think I took it at f22 or f32. Foma100 and pyrocat MC.Big film is crazy.
>>4464277>suggests there was some kind of unintended movementor, you know, just glare from the scanner light source which isn't uniformly collimated?probably because it was scanned on a flatbed, you can also see the internal reflection flares around the code notches
>>4464316Sounds like you're closer to the truth. In any case the scan is subpar.
>>4445769>>4445775>>4445776>>4445800>that dynamic rangewhen will digiSHIT catch up?

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.
>>4461083>>4461085>>4461086that's the 50mm, op said 35mm
>>4461083>op are you retardedIn fact I am, but evidently not as much as you.
rarest is picrelmodern lens and not particularly rare but relatively rare because the only people who would buy it are boomer pentaxians who just react "whew that's too pricey for MY wallet!!!" while clutching their DA* 600mm f4 they bought off another pentaxforums user 10 years ago for $2500
>>4461085hey I have the 1:1.2 somewhere slowly molding
>>4464139Probably one of the best vintage 50mm f1.2s.

Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras and higher) and have interchangeable lenses.In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.>STICKY - https://text.is/QZ1J>Helpful guide, additional books and more in-depth FAQs - https://web.archive.org/web/20200926115310/https://pastebin.com/kG0gRmTZ>NO ONE CARES WHAT AN EXPERT YOU THINK YOU ARE.

>>4463804Interesting.Nikon hasn't done anything with Red other than add a zmount to the komodo line and restructure Reds pipeline, for example, Komodo used to be made in USA now it's made in Mexico and it doesn't ship with a battery or power connector for the DC adapter. I wonder if Canon just wants Arri in their profile and restructure like Nikon did.
>>4463812>profile*Meant to type portfolio
>>4463812Since nikon's purchase of red, their legitimacy in the video world has gone up by a lot. Them buying red is probably indicative of how serious they're taking video as opposed to the reason they're being taken seriously now, but their cheap camera footage looks kind of incredible these days (even if the bitrate still makes it impractical imo) and I assume that's got to have something to do with the luts red released for nlog.I doubt they'd do it for no reason or with no plan. I assume they have something big coming and don't want to announce/release anything prematurely. If I was a betting man, I'd guess that they probably have about 4 cameras coming soon:>big cinema camera - successor to the raptor>smaller production camera in response to the canon c80 and sony fx3 (and maybe a bigger version of the same camera, like the c400 and fx6) - an 8k beast that uses a sensor similar to the one from the raptor or monstro (I guess this would technically a successor to the komodo)>new flagship mlc - successor to the z6iii with a better sensor and new menus/ergonomics>komodo in an mlc body for a cheaper priceI think the least likely of the above to happen is a successor to the raptor since the demand just isn't there. Red went under because sony effectively ate their marketshare as the alternative to arri. So launching another expensive camera in that region would probably lose money. But it might be worth it just to save face and keep their presence alive since big filmmakers still use them.
>>4463547I hope panasonic buys them just so that their cameras get a better raw codec than this prores bs

birds edition
> Took a bunch of photos with Oly kit lens at f16-f22.> They look awful.Yeah, I'm a retard.
I like just like how some of the older cameras are pretty cheap for what you get and the smaller sizes are really nice for vacations as an amateur at leastI just got an old GF3 with kit lens for 100 eurobuxThe previous owner was unfortunately a smokerI read positive things about baking soda and vinegar that I’ll try out
>m.zuiko 50-200 f/2.8 coming sep 10th>it's huge and whiteWell ok I guess. I'd rather have a lighter and smaller 50-200 f/4 like the Panny. I use the 40-150 2.8 with a 1.4x for this but the whole setup is way bigger and heavier than the Panny. (No sealing is a no go for me, I frequently shoot close to or on the ground and water.) I bet this stupid thing will be close to or over 2kg. At least it appears to have IS.
Just how many X0-Y00 zooms an average birdfag needs?
>>4464232To be fair it's weird Oly makes so many 80-300 equivalents and not a single 100-400 equivalent, a standard zoom range for birds. It's also weird to me we don't have a nicer 150-600 equivalent, they're all plastic and soft and slow at the long end.
Is there really an unwritten rule against taking photos of homeless people for street photography?
The worst thing you can do is take photos of people’s backs. It doesn’t say anything but the photographer is a fag and creep
>>4463757There isn’t much objective reasoning to be done on this, but it’s an appeal to basic empathy like >>4463778 is making.
>>4461675It depends on the purpose of the photo. If it's for documentary/journalistic reasons and not just for le artistic reasons, then it's fine, but most faggots that do it are posting it on Instagram or YouTube just for "liek if you cry every tim" reasons.
>>4461559Second post best postAmericans are afraid of their own shadows because they have been programmed by social media and MSM to live in a constant state of fear and hate everything and be angry about shit
is it frowned upon to take photo of american eat hot dog

>>4463518I've used my IG as an unofficial portfolio to send off for photography companies, but I've never been approached as a result of having one. I'm not sure the algorithm even really works well at promoting people anymore.
Hello /p/, I want to take photos like picrel but have no experience in photography and no camera, I'm willing to spend up to around €1,000 but would rather cheaper as I am not wealthy, anything in the 400-500 range is a nice amount for me. What camera/specs do I need? Any lenses? I know photography terminology as I've experience with 3dcg and they seem to use the same terms there, as well as a bit of experience in just using the pro mode of my phone camera.
>>4461548be bad at composition, color and light
>>4461548>What camera/specs do I need?Potato
>>4461837>>4461844Absolutely not.Get a D3300 (or higher)or a D5200 (or higher)or a D7100 (or higher)or go full frame with a D600All can be had for about 200 bucks, if you just pay attention.For the APS-C cameras start with a 18-200mm or 18-105mm.For full frame, get a 24-85mm f3.5-4.5G, or just a 50mm f1.8. The zoom is versatile, but not the sharpest/fastest (brightest, in this context). The 50mm is very sharp and fast (bright), but locks you to a 50mm focal length. Both are cheap.
>>4464068>>446184418-55mm is also a good option (typical kit lens) for APS-C
>>4461550Can confirm.
Any love for the Game Boy Camera and printer here?Sure nowadays even the chinkest of cameras and printers may be better with printing via phone bigger and clearer photos but there's a certain charm and fun in doing with with a Game Boy of all things.
>>4463066Here's the image, left in that cartridge since 1998.I wonder if he died, and if his family just sold off his old games without knowing that they had a picture of him...
>>4463067Doesn't really look like he was the one taking the picture. It's also pretty hard to tell if he's 12 or 50 in that pic.
>>4463072No, but it could still have been his camera, since the camera roll ends there.Could have been a friend or sibling taking it.
Mine had photos from the previous owner, seems like a cool guy. I hope he's doing fine.

Where do (you) host your /p/ortfolio?
I use a GitHub pages site and I'm going to switch from jpegs to jxl, webp, or avif or something so I waste less space. It's convenient but I think I should probably use a cdn or embed flickrs maybe because I assume the way I'm doing things is wrong.
>>4463791Main one is on Squarespace and have a second small one thru Adobe Portfolio (included with photo sub). If I were restarting I'd just host the main site through Pixieset, which I use for most client delivery.
