I jive with this same opinion.
It seems really overdone with the same pretentious..*camera click sfx*...(shows image)...(cinematic shot of them doing something)...slow paced...*camera click sfx*...(shows image)...(cinematic shot of them doing something)....monotonous...*camera click sfx*...(shows image)...(cinematic shot of them doing something)....content.

The videos regarding photography that have grabbed the most attention from me was the Walkie-Talkie. It's different, unique, the way the person even carries themselves you can dissect their style from that alone. I eat that shit up over muh cinematic color-graded lofi showcase youtube video over a sony cybershot from the early 2000 because digicams are SOOOO in right now (marking up digicam price mention from this one video from $2 to $200 on ebay)

It's a big reason I've considered making content out of spite simply because I feel like I could yap and showcase both my photos and personality and it would go higher than the current slop. It'd probably do me wonders in terms of getting exposure for my hobby which I am very autistic about.

He’s like the epitome of why these guys all suck, I cannot take anything you have said otherwise in good faith.

I like attic darkroom for the chemistry and film experiments he does, and he doesn’t show face or anything personal that I’ve seen which is a bonus. Also like Kyle McDougall but his videos are bordering on boring and he shoots your typical still landscapes on medium format kind of thing. one thing I’ve noticed that’s odd though is that all these guys seem to have some kind of mental breakdown eventually and have to “take some time off”. Why is that? McDougall did, Peter McKinnon did, bunch of other YouTubers did the same. It’s like they brainduck themselves into “anxiety” or whatever over such an easy job I just cannot relate or understand it.

start saving up for when the little one starts walking and then running. you'll need something with good AF ... or you will have to shoot burst and fish out 20% keepers.
making this hardmode is that many of those images will be shot indoor in your home. where I suppose you don't have harsh and bright lighting. so you will need fast shutter speeds and wider apertures and high iso to get useful photos out of it. but then again shooting wide open means lesser depth of field means more missed focus. so yeah.
toddler photography is probably the most demanding thing on this planet when it comes to equipment. I can't imagine anything else where the conditions are so stacked against you. :0
when my kid started walking I had a Z6II ... which couldn't keep up with him most of the time. now he's 4yo and I have a Zf and it's much better. his movements are way more predictable and the current gen Nikon AF manages to track him properly. but the Z6II was hopelessly outgunned.
enjoy the baby phase with your gx9 - it's a fine cam for when you don't need action shots. but start saving for an OM1 or G9II ... should be less expensive a few years down the road.

>>4469499
Yeah, excellent lens indeed! I switched to the Panasonic Leica 25mm for the faster focus motor, but it should be plenty in your case.

>>4469499
I've only used it for some low light stuff at night so far and I loved it
Can't wait to take more in-house pictures with it next year

For me personally it's a really good way to go outside and not spend any money. Human contact is a plus.

the people who believe that the best at anything don't fail more than those who suck are delusional

from quantity comes quality
from failing thousands (maybe millions) of times you get quality
so if you're afraid of failing then never gonna git gud

Arts aren't entrepreneurship, besides entrepreneurs who suck fail even more than ones who don't. Although street isn't art so there's that :^)

either get at least some stage lights and then underexpose slightly or shoot with something really fast. Don't use filters that will flare poorly with the candles light. Watch your shadows in your histogram so you save some details.

>Don't be going in trying to fuck. Don't think with your dick, go rub one out before you shoot. You're here to make art, not be a fucking creep. Wanna do this again later on?

Don't listen to the gooners on here with Stage 4 terminal autism who are going to come in here and tell me I'm wrong, most of them are compound-turbo nitromethane virgins who have never shot full nude and think porn is real. You're not Terry Richardson, don't be a fucking creep.

why are americans such incredible prudes? There is nothing wrong with a photographer hooking up with a model, just don't do it the first time you meet them at a shoot. use a shoot to meet them then seduce them

don't know about film but in digital you can underexpose to get more saturation without it becoming garish.

>>4469379
thats not how it works. exposure doesnt change colors, just noise. your raw editor has a bug.

>>4469385
A change of exposure influences the colours. Look at your histogram.

>>4469418
easier to see on a parade or vectorscope

>>4468313
lol lmao, no one shot professionally kodak gold and no one ever pushed color negative stock
It was shot on a slide film definitely most likely kodachrome. Slide film had much better color accuracy and could be quickly edited on the fly before printing for ads or magazines

>>4467151
Do whatever works until you can afford a real macro lens. Both extension tubes and reversing the lens will be using the optics in an unintended way, only macro lenses produce acceptable images close up. Working distance doesn't really matter with film all that much, f/5.6 is fine for film but you should just look up the lens and use it at its sharpest aperture (most likely f/5.6).

Never once felt the urge to buy on Calumet, MPB or the small store here in the city.
Those prices are insane. Their selling point is the warranty and knowing that they won't steal your money.
Feels gud seeing them selling the older Fuji X100s for the peak hype price still because they bought them overpriced themselves. Sit on it fags.

Just wait Anon.
Good stuff comes up from time to time.

>who's going to spend 1k on a shitty 10yo m43 cam with a kit lens lol?
Just thought about the Panasonic LX100 II. A camera that came out in mid 2018.. a compact micro four thirds with a fixed zoom lens costing $1000 new back then, still selling for not that much less now, a camera that Leica rebranded and sold for $200 extra a couple of months later which they a year ago updated with Leica menus and button layout, upped the evf and screen resolution a tiny bit and added a USB-C port which they now charge $1915 for.. it did at one point cost $2790 when Leica tried cashing in on the tariff speculations. Before the latest digicam craze you could find used LX100 IIs for way less than the current going rate.. so yeah.. the market in general is a bit messed up at the moment. I snagged a LX100 II for roughly $300 in the local classifieds recently and it feels like a steal, but it isn't really. It is a camera with lots of compromises and a Leica D-Lux 8 for $1915 is a massive waste of money.

Yeah if I'm stumbling across some internet or physical exhibit and I'm in one of the shots I'm harrassing and ddosing the owner until I get a response
Even if they fucking ASKED i'd probably not give a shit, but the audacity of some cunts leads me to believe they weren't belted enough as a kid.

It's interesting how the street photographer not only treats the invasion of personal space as a given, but almost as a virtue in itself. It should be no surprise that it primarily attracts provocative cowards who can only post-rationalize their shutter bursts once they're out of arms reach.

Notice how their replies and defences usually boil down to childish indignation and disbelief - how they even feel "violated" that others don't see it their way, followed by the hypocritical mewling about "rights" that they themselves were never willing to respect.

> To me your problem is the lack of punishments for bad behaviours.
Doesn't really work like that though. Some countries have very harsh punishment and low crime rate, high punishment high crime rate (see France with drugs), low punishment low crime rate and low punishment high crime rate. The harshness of punishment isn't correlated to the amount of crime commited.
Also you fail to take into account the fact that Paris is 2 times more populated then Taipei, plus all the tourists, Paris being one of the most visited cities in the world with London. It already attracts all kinds of people, but you also need to consider all the people who came to France because (one way or the other) of colonization. I think it's a small price to pay for all the atrocities France did for centuries.
Beyond that on the subject of stealing, it's mostly a cultural thing I think. People in Europe just consider that things left in the wild just belong to everyone. You just don't live things outside. Even if you go to some random village in the countryside with less then <1000hab. if you live your shit out it will get stolen. My headcanon is that a lot of people are just cleptomanic, even if they don't need the money they take it.
Also I visited Taipei a few months back and I found it really nice

>>4468860
>high punishment high crime rate
