Hello /p/I saved a RX100 M7 from the bin after customer returned it without it's box and accessories.I know it’s not a pro camera with fancy lenses and such, but is it good? Photography interests me but I never mustered the motivation to buy a nice setup. Do you have any recommendations on what to do / not do?

>>4510613>Canon has a green tint nowdpreview really is retarded
>>4505220It has more glass and bigger sensor than a smartphone. Smartphones uses algo and ai to molest the picture to look half decent.
>>4505220Not even close, it's a lot better than a smartphone and even a shitty compact camera from a decade ago manages that. Most phones max out at 12mp and still have a lot of processing junk, so even those ones that claim to be more than 12mp are just using pixel binning to achieve a higher mp amount. OP could buy a Canon Powershot from the early 2010s and still be better off than using his phone.
>>4505391>iso 1600hmm I wonder why you didn't chose base iso for both cameras as a point of comparison
>>4503361Samsung galaxy s23 why?

Insta and whatever else thread for wherever anons post their photos.https://www.instagram.com/mondatta.photography/Do any of you tend to go for certain themes and styles? Or just try anything?
>>4511988yeah but, what's the point of follow people just for obbligation and not for actually liking their work? there are people getting offended by not being follow back, i really dont get it >>4512203so you do it for clout
>>4512240sorry, the last one was meant for >>4512198
>>4512240>there are people getting offended by not being follow back, i really dont get it I think it's just one single guy since I remember seeing someone have the exact same meltdown in previous threads. He's also wrong too, the people he bitched about dipping out did reply and follow people during the first month of this thread, you can literally see it by scrolling to the top. He's probably just pissed off that he posted in this thread when it ran out of steam months later and nobody was checking in anymore.
>be flickr chad>dont care about gay "i didnt get followed" faggotry>also get to have HQ photos and any aspect ratio i wantflickr bros keep winning
Been a while, but I recreated my instagram account.Maybe some Anons remember the old one.https://www.instagram.com/vanbrandenburg.photography/

If you have fuck-all money then get a Mamiya 6 or 7ii. Extremely sharp lenses, interchangeable bayonet, no mirror shake
>>4512145How hard is it to get a job and skip some meals to save for a camera?

Leica are the only cameras that inspire as much genuine art as the beautiful machines are able to create. You won't get real artists so invested in a Canon or (lol) a Sony (shudder). Why is anyone on this board who actually cares about photographer using anything BUT a Leica?
Are Leica users sort of like the photography equivalent of audiophiles?
>>4511956Absolute chadTrump has done his job. However, his job was never going to be a traditional presidency. I got exactly what I voted for. The world has never had better prospects. >nuuuu but le american empire got heccin disgraced and had to pay extra to fill up dem pickupsgood
>>4511959No because audiophiles are weirdos but do end up buying the best and/or constant testing, Leicafags pretend their 10k lenses are better than 2k Cosinas or 3k Nikkors when testing has shown otherwise.
>>4511484>In any era the best artists are not the ones you are told to like, but the ones that make you think about things your self defined master doesn’t want you to think about.This really doesn't account for every era where the premier objects of art have been paintings on the tombs of kings, jewellery worn by the nobles, or masks and totems made by priests and witchdoctors. The idea of the eccentric artist is a uniquely modern and European one.
>>4512244>uniquely modern and EuropeanNips were known for having eccentric artists since medieval times, although their patrons were affluent bar and brothel enjoyers, so kind of a merchant nobility.
It is hands down my favourite kind of photography even though it has many limitations.Actually i think that being that limited kinda forces me to try and be creative even though many shots gets blown out. Or maybe i simply enjoy shooting and having the pic with me istantly.... the best way to collect memories with friends.
>>4510084Do you scan your physicals always? Or just when you want to /p/ost them? Seems like it would be nice to amass a digital library in addition to the instant photos.>>4510085These first two are nice. The up close shot always beats the far away. Are you doing any editing or is that a natural orangeish vibe?
>>4510084I wish there were manual ILC instax cameras, something like the polaroid goose but for films that are still in production. Nons makes some but they have these stupid speed boosters in the body because they chose to use 35mm format lens mounts on all of them and the IQ is really no better than the plastic lens instax cameras. They really should have just used 645 or 6x7 lenses...
>>4512115You can get filmbacks for certain medium format cameras and they also have instax filmbacka for large format cameras.
>>4512127Yeah ive seen theres a lot for the hassie's but I dont have a hassie. I have an rb67 and the only ones that exist are these dogshit 3d print / homejob things that sellers want like 600$ for. I could by an ELX hassie for that money.
>>4512104i wanted to use the epson es-60w scanner cause people got amazing results and said it was cheap but where i live it's still way over 150€ so i end up using that infamous Instax Up! application to scan. No i dont do any sort of editing on them, they are just as they came out of the camera. I know it's not fully manual but i currently use the Lomo Istant Square Glass and it can be pretty fun to experiment and try things like the double exposure or the splitzer/colored flash gelatines This is a pic i got using bulb mode for example (again sorry for the horrendous quality of the "scan")
The camera fairy appears! She is willing to conjure a camera plus lenses of your choice... BUT all your future photos are limited to a single aspect ratio. If you try to change the ratio in any way, she WILL strangle you in your sleep.What is your choice and what do you wish for?
How about round, snap like it's 1888 without caring of tilted horizon or fuzzy corners.
>>4508570I shoot/export exclusively in 16:9.Every other ratio belongs in the trash.
>>4512048>Every other ratio belongs in the trash.16:9 is literally a cope ratio for retards and engineers who rushed it before reaching the stated goal for 16:10, the Golden Ratio
>>4512050>16:10, the Golden RatioThe golden ratio isn't 16:10 though so that's just another cope ratio.
>>4512157>The golden ratio isn't 16:10 thoughIt's close enough to 1618:1000, it would be silly to enforce the latter in display hardware terms

>>4511917Agreed on the composition. I mmm'd and ahh'd about cropping it but thought I'd throw it out there as it is, see how it goes.>>4511918>that dumb bint's faceOf the several shots from that burst, that was unfortunately the best one. She looked even dumber in the other shots. Didn't have time to linger and try getting another shot as I was busy picking up dinner for the family.Thanks for the feedback mate.

Sony will save us editionPreviously on /p/ee: >>4509022
>>4512119It was just the smallest form factor full frame camera that was on sale. Something I could easily slip into a side pocket or strap on my backpack while hiking or carry around in a small bag while out.That's all I'm really looking for, photography will always be a side hobby for me and I'd like to get back into the fun of being able to bring a camera better than my phone wherever I want while still being able to take some pretty decent shots and process them later.Also I don't think I can trade in for an older camera, stores usually only carry the latest iterations.
>>4512105Interesting. The 20-70 seems mediocre from the reviews and sample images I've seen but I'll take a single lens that lets me do landscape and standard photography over carrying something like a 24-70/28-75 AND a dedicated wide angle prime. >>4512106>>4512109Buy an old 300mm f4 and put a teleconverter on it, slappy. The 300 f4 primes are like $300 and are legit good.
>>4512122I'm guessing you don't use superglue. When conditions are wrong the vapors from superglue deposit themselves on adjacent surfaces and leave deposits. You don't want that shit anywhere near your sensor, mirror, prism, etc. You'd want to use a non-cyanoacrylate (superglue) based glue around imaging equipment.t. built a lot of model airplanes

Previous Thread: >>4408437My astronomy club is doing an outreach on smart telescopes in a few more months so I decided it pick up an S30. Its been delightful so far; setup is a breeze compared to my primary rig. Think it will be a great little thing for more casual imaging. We're not in the best time of year for my FOV, but I was able to get a little time in on M5.
>>4511630google and yt are a good place to start. but apparently, somebody correct me if i m wrong.during the total part of the eclipse you can t look and photograph it without filters. filters are necessary only when sun light is not blocked by the moon
>>4511631*you CAN look
>>4511631>during the total part of the eclipse you can t look and photograph it without filters.
>>4508584>S30>completely automatedNot to sound like a prick on the internet or anything, but doesn't automating the bulk of the work kind of suck the fun out of it? I don't know, I feel like half the fun in astro for me is actually hunting down the objects. If that's not your jam then understandable but I could not for the life of me enjoy it like that.
>>4511631Anon, the usual advice applies to telephotos and to pointing tripod mounted lenses at the sun for extended periods of time. If you want to snap a wide angle photo with sun in the frame, you don't need an eclipse for it.
>Nocturnal photography (also referred to as night photography) refers to the practice of taking photographs outdoors between dusk and dawn, when natural light is minimal or nonexistent.>The low-light conditions night photographers work in require specialized techniques to achieve proper exposure, including long exposures—ranging from several seconds to days—higher ISO sensitivity, or artificial lighting.>The genre encompasses a wide range of subjects, including urban and rural landscapes, architecture, industrial sites, and astrophotography.Post your night photos!
>>4511893Thank you! I’m looking forward on going out at night to photograph

>>4511809>>4511205>>4510791I see we all have the problem of blurry ass foreground when shooting at these wide apertures, how do we solve? Crop it away or closer focus? Or maybe you guys like that look
>>4511999I guess the low light forces to use a wide aperture. Probably, if using a tripod you could close the aperture and use a lower shutter speed and more things would be in focus. I guess could be one of the reasons. Also, the foreground could suffer a little more from shaking, as it would be more perceptible.
Basic tourist-posting
Does anyone have advice regarding a card reader not reading a micro sd card?For more context, it was delivered by mail and seems like it may have been dropped (an ever so slight bump/rise to it)Local data recovery place is quoting anywhere from 800 to 2gs, which is simply out of the question due to a lack of funds.
>>4511949Flash memory is pretty resistant to physical damage as long as the chips themselves weren't cracked, and the electrical contacts of the card aren't completely sandblasted off. SD cards WILL (not might, WILL) fail anywhere between 6 months and 5 years into their used lifespan under normal circumstances, so if your card is cheap and shit you might be SoL.Seeing as you're talking about data recovery, I'm guessing this was something that had photos on it that you sent away? If I were you I'd spend the $10 on a new SD card reader to rule that out as the culprit as there are many out-of-spec and chingneseum readers that will just fail because the ambient sea level pressure rose 1.3 kPa.I've also had an amazon-tier card reader fail to read my beefier UHS-II spec cards despite the fact they're just supposed to fall back to the highest supported speed.Buy a new reader and report back OP.
>>4511965Thanks! Will do.
