I have way better gear but this little fucker has become a great companion for vlogging, even with all the drawbacksDo you have a favorite flawed piece of gear?
Ricoh RDC-300It has really nice character for one of these ancient digital cameras and works surprisingly well in low light. My only wish is that it had a bit of zoom on it. It's also tiny, and looks enough not like a camera that no one really pays attention to you.Second place goes to my converted CCTV camera. It's very unwieldy to carry around, but there are a lot of fun c-mount lenses around for cheap. I use it as a webcam and soldering microscope occasionally.

Let's have a thread on Greg GirardYeah I am thinking he is kino.
>>4474477I thought you were talking about the Herzog railroad company
>>4472540I like the style of these photos, but it seems to me like he also took a whole bunch of not so good ones that he also published for whatever reason so the photos presented here are not representative for his "style" so to speak.. at least that is the impression I've got after I looked at his instagram, but these are cool photos nonetheless and I believe he does something that many contemporary shooters gets wrong and that is to always go for perfect shooting conditions, meaning to never venture outside with a camera once it is either cold, rainy, dark etc.
>>4481714if you were born and raised in kowloon city you'd think that wasnt interesting too. it is your fault.
In a just world he'd be equally as famous but for his documentary panache and not just because bugmen see neon lights and their eyes pop out of their skull
>>4482128I dunno, lots of photographers who grew up in NYC or LA manage to be inspired by their surroundings into adulthood and produce great work there, so I don't think familiarity kills inspiration. When I've travelled to either of those cities I also come back with quality photos. This is the typical street scene in my part of the country. Sure I could do a Todd Hido "homes at night" type of thing but that's really not the direction I'm trying to go in.
incredible photos here. this guy obviously has taste. there’s no way the photos are his, though. they’re too consistently good, too frequently posted, and the style is not consistent. i’d love to know who some of these artists are so that i can see more of their work. i would buy photobooks based on some of these. tineye is usually returning 0 results. interesting. i don’t see any evidence of AI being used. it does not look like AI to me. but i’m also a dummy? i want to know who some of these artists are.
>>4481988Instagram’s low resolution hides AI artifacts. Intentionally.
>>4481988Yeah uh, this is AI mixed with stolen and edited pics and photos of his feet for veracityLook the city, the cats, top left. If your photos aren’t at least 24mp with full color RAW files available as proof you do not do photography. You write prompts. This is the reality of 2025.

So newest NX Studio is out - with the Film Grain effect added. This will come to the Zf with the next firmware update.What do you think? Picrelated is OOC JPG with Large Grain @ Intensity 3 applied in NX StudioI love it
>>4475281I loved my Zf's and cant wait to get another one. I also shoot with an FA and love the shit out of that like a german shisse fetishist. However I seriosly dislike taking a work that was created in one medium and trying to hide it by making it look like it was made in another medium. If I sold someone a bronze of a sculpture I made but was like, "well actually it's plastic, isn't it amazing though, they got the plastic to look just like bronze!" Everyone would rightly be pissed and I'd be sued & out of a reputation.That said, there are effects we lazily attribute to film such as blurriness of old lenses, poor diffraction halation, light leaks, uncoated lens effects & aging film effects. There is also shooting in fog, gold/blue hour effects, gloomy days, weird light during storms, etc, that could all also be achieved natively by a digital camera with greater or lesser effectiveness, and ideally in proportion to the needs of the image, not the needs of the image to look like it came from another kind of camera. The work of the pictorialists for instance, images like less literally defined and more suggestive, evocative as hell, more like a painting of a mood or hazy memory than a photojournalists need of harsh clarity and grating sharpness. All these effects and more can be accomplished digitally, we have the tools, all the tools, and more tools than anyone could ever have imagined. So why are we led to the photojournalist & documentarians approach to photography? Because it makes us by sharper and sharper lenses? For what? Use the grain effect if you want to. But don't stop there.
>>4476666It's spelled "Scheiße" or "Scheisse", if you lack the Eszett. But why buy two identical bodies? Never understood that
>>4476677>why buy two identical bodies????Oh, bc I said Zf's? Didn't buy them at the same time. Bought one through work, quit, sold it back to company, turned around & bought another, then a while later found out the ZFII wasn't yet coming but a Silver model was, so sold it & am looking fwd to buying that. I hate HATE black gear, and the ZF being black pissed me off from day 1. It was either this or I was going to strip & polish a black one myself eventually, fucking nightmare scenrario that it is.

I took this photo when i was walking in the streets, after finishing an internship at my university. I think it seems like a liminal space.
>>4482095What is a “liminal space”
>>4482096a space between spaces. a space used to get from one space to another. strictly speaking I think OPs photo qualities. however the meaning of liminal spaces now has been more or less broadened to be a certain style of photography that involves taking slightly unsettling pictures of places normally full of life (strictly defined liminal spaces are often full of life, imagine people passing through a corridor often) that are devoid of any signs of human activity. I like looking at photos with that type of tag as they stir a certain uneasiness and oddly placed nostalgia in me.
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

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.
>>4474415The Butlerian Jihad will be developed in caffenol, mark my words AI
>>4461548You need a high red camera like the Sony A7CR, paired with a sharp GM lens. If your subject is trees, leaves, or anything green in general, Sony is the natural choice because of their propensity for beautiful green hues in their jpgs.

I just watched the latest Marty Supreme trailer. It's good. But fuck if it doesn't feel like an ode to every struggling artist out there running off sheer arrogance and willpower to try and achieve something that feels impossible.
>>4481959Markus is the realest video-related youtuber out there.
>>4482055What took up some time on that shoot was not having a rocksolid definitive lighting plan already designed and locked down. We had a ballpark idea of how we wanted it to look, and wanted to keep a light gameplan that was open to on-the-spot changes and new ideas- but if we had drawn up atleast a fallback lighting design for each and every shot, it would’ve ended up saving a ton of time and energy. Lesson learned. Plan everything- even the stuff you potentially want to have as “spontaneous on the day open collaboration”.

>>4481956>What was it?Canon 5D classic auction. Got it for $140 AUD when they go for about double that normally. Dumbass set the auction timeout for 3:30am local time so it was relatively easy to snipe it at the end as I'm a shift worker.>>4481958Negative, what >>4481963 wrote is accurate. Boomers cant fathom the idea that their 20 year old e-waste didnt appreciate in value at the same rate as their shitty fibro house in Western Sydney. There's a follow-on effect where the local shops and gen Z-tards will also list their stuff at about the same rate thinking that's still a good deal, so when you offer or expect a more reasonable amount sellers immediately assume you're trying to rip them off.Unfortunately since they usually use it twice and shelf it they're normally the items in best condition. I legitimately could find better deals buying from the US if there wasn't $100 in shipping tacked on. My best deals are normally through charities upcycling and at least I know my money is going to a decent cause.
>>4481598Yes! Dogs in cars. This is what I love.
>>4481019This. The only people seething about others' success are the same people who are easily replaced with AI.
>>4480864Tripods are mandatory for quality photography.Anyone who tells you otherwise is a retard, or is shooting people in direct sunlight at 1/2000 shutter speed where it doesn't matter.Don't fall for the myth of handheld and image stabilization memes. Nothing beats a tripod.The difficulty is in using them, but whenever you can manage to use one, tripods are always worth it.
Hiya! I’m looking to move beyond my phone camera not necessarily upgrade, but get a dedicated camera for capturing important moments in my life. I don’t want to rely on a tiny phone sensor anymore. Which of these options would you recommend for a beginner? Ideally, the camera and lens should be compact enough to fit into a small sling or banana bag (so I can bring to concerts). Also, I don't to spend as little as possible but don't want to buy used, because the used market in my country is filled to the brim with bad faith actors.a) Fuji XM-5b) Fuji XT-30 IIIC) Canon R50VD) Sony Zve10AFAIK, these are the only "small" modern mirrorless cameras on the market. Your advice would be appreciated.
