>>4519751my take on the recent solar eclipsebased or cringe?
>>4522183Nice one. What`s the red streak from?
>>4523910That's a car going past anon.Long exposure + moving tail lights.
I'm gonna dump the pictures I took on my first trip to China and share my impressions along the way. Save for the snaps, I mostly shot analog with my F90x, and with my gf's mju.I'm very much open to criticism.
lots of scenery shots here with nothing going on. i enjoyed the qualities of the film and the novelty of viewing a foreign place, but photographically most of these are weak.>>4521782me on the left>>4521793>>4521835i like these and they kind of make a good pair, even.
>>4521866i tried to correct the overexposurebut there is only so much that can be done with something like this
>>4523726why? the original is totally fine, this looks terrible.love the set anon; yes, they are mostly "empty", but they are nice and cozy, I really like how the reds pop on most of them... made me want to visit too.how many days? did you get a rental or just used the public transport?
What has the consequences been since everyone has access to either a digital camera or a smartphone with up to 200 MP sensors? Snapshits were easy to identify in the 80s because they were often shitty point and shoot, or Polaroids, but what gear does the snapshitter use now other than smartphones? Has the ubiquity of photography destroyed whatever strange, new artform was budding?
>>4522363>>4522358Forgot obligatory martin parr rules for emerging photographers
>>4522358What an empty and soulless way to think about art. You must live a very sad life.
>>4522358Two tribes control english language art publishing and they have godawful taste that has been described as demonic at the worst and ignorant of aesthetics and using art as an extension of word game postmodern pseudo-philosophy and status signaling at the best. Not giving a fuck about major publishers is increasingly normal now. Jews and american WASPs have genuinely bad taste in visual art. They have money, but just look at the blocky dogshit architecture in israel and all across the states. They have no taste. For years anglos and francs questioned if there was someone worse at the visual arts than the german. The answer has become abundantly clear. Our hebrew and american brothers must stick to math, law, medicine, jazz and klezmer, for everyones sake. If there is an explanation it lies in script. The german is bad at art and produces visually offensive clunky shit because of fraktur and print. The anglo, franc, and arab are good at art because of cursive. The asians are ok at art because of hanwen/kanji (but japan makes uglier shit than china). The american is godawful at art because of their complete lack of penmanship. The hebrew is bad at art because of blockletter hebrew, the only language that is almost as ugly as american handwriting. Unless you actually want to be another mark cohen, joel witkin, or andre serrano then absolutely care and go join the ugly club.
>>4522358This must be some of the dumbest shit I've ever read on this page, and that is counting in /b/ since 2006.Do what brings you joy. Fuck all else. We all die in the end, I'd rather die fulfilled and happy. You don't get there chasing others acknowledgment. ... Oh, you're just trolling. Nevermind!
>>4522209Better quality amateur nudes are a plus!
>Take a shot>Let the model review it >The model gives a look at the tiny LCD with dead eyes without soul, trying to act like has been focused on the shoot all the time and gives the phph's mansplaining (actually an active excuse or justification of his incompetency complex) about how this photo composed, lights, what's the catch of it blah blah short compliments like >"mm hmm.", "It's beautiful.", "Wow.", "Okay." without the pupils moved 1nm.Photographers who force their models review their shots are pussies. They elicit positive responses from their models who's not responsible of the decisions during the process to dilute their responsibility as the leader of the project, the whole team of the photography.It's like the single moms who march with their kids on strollers front of them in a protest.
>>4522234Who the fuck is this autistic to worry about this shit?
>>4522235/p/ users apparently kek
Was this an attempt at humor?
>should I value a woman's opinionProbably not anon.
I guess I can add this to the list of reasons I prefer shooting film. She's not seeing shit till I get it all developed.
Where the hell do you get models these days? It used to be that you would just go on Model Mayhem or find some chick on instagram and shoot TFP but those days are over. I wouldn't even mind paying for a chick's time, but even that seems difficult these days. Not a lot of chicks into "modeling" these days, no websites dedicated to it, etc. I guess they're all doing onlyfans or something. Any way, anyone got some tips?
>>4523348Do you shoot lewds with your dolls?
>>4523375does this not count >>4523253
>>4523524It's pretty tame, but I assume the answer is, yes. Cool.
>>4523253how do you emulate the look of a bigger thing when the thing is small
>>4523781like, in general?depth of field, lighting, environment (like forced perspective)
Is it worth to get into concert photography? I'm big into metal music and there are weekly shows in my town big and small. Also huge festivals nearby in summer. Instead of sitting on my ass at home lurking on 4chan or flickr.. should I give it a try? I have no portfolio yet so it might be best to start with smaller local bands and ask if they want some free photos. If I search for photographers in that area, they all are really mediocre, especially the post editing. I wanna become the Greg Williams of metal music. My main goal isn't money, though that would be a nice addition later on. What would suck though is if this is as oversaturated as soemthing like wedding photography. What do ya think? Anyone with experience? is it fun?
>>4520682>It was an awful effect in the 60s and 70sBeing a flaming homosexual is against the rules, bro
>>4520742also looked him up and honestly I dont really like his photos lol
>>4520435I literally can't think of anything gayer than photographing other men
>>4520686yeah you'd have to be press, but if you were to tie the photos to live show reviews or music blogging you could bend the rules
>>4521002faggotry was no longer considered a mental illness by 1973 and you can thank flower power summer of love hippie 60s bullshit for that
does he still hold up in 2026?
>thoughtsPray for the conversion of the Jews.
is he an actual respected photographer or just a youtuber e-celeb? Watched some review of his and had to turn it off cause I found him incredibly annoying even for a youtuber
Does anyone else here take pairs of images to synthesize depth in mages?This was taken from the Lummi Reservation looking east to Mt. Baker and the Sisters. Base was about 100 meters.
>>4523771>>4523803Let's make life easier for you... I highly recommend the freeware "stereophotomaker"(.com) to gather and align pairs of images to process. It's kind of the industry de facto standard. If you name your files such that pairs have the same name but have an "L" or "R" appended ([mypic]_L.jpg and [mypic]_R.jpg), then when you open "Open L/R Images..." and pick the L, it will offer the R for the right pane. I like to add an underscore to highlight the distinction.The pair are then displayed to fit the window. You have the option to view the pair at 100% size, which then enables panning around the pair. Menu buttons allow viewing the pair in many types of anaglyph (red/cyan is far and away the most common), but you have to pull down the "View", "Swap Left/Right" (or remember the keyboard shortcut "X") to toggle between parallel and cross.Hit "S" to save whatever format you're viewing. I like to append a "_p" for parallel, "_x" for cross, "_a" for anaglyph in monochrome or "_ac" for color. For posted images, the "s" means it's a small image: the originals are 6kx4k each.
oh c'mon just cut it with that stupid software or buy an ad. every idiot can do stereo images in any image processing software available. it's just placing images next to each other or overlaying them on different channels. or with color masks. don't make it more than it is.on a different note, parallel is de facto standard because the de facto standard for watching stereo images is with the help of lenses. barley anybody is capable of doing it without any support tool. which is why stereo never made it as a mass medium. and the today's most used tool is probably that smartphone VR glasses/adapters. which is - surprise - two lenses in front of parallel placed images.to make that thread interesting do not post stupid test images but rather discuss how rigs could or do look like and what specific differences there are in shooting, compared to 2D imaging.
>>4523823Blow it out your ass.I don't see you doing any discussing other than whining.Buy an ad.. the software's free, numbnutsAnd you can use scissors to mow a lawn, but a mower is a lot faster, easier,and leaves a smoother surface. I've done it manually too. Novel, but idiotic to do it that way and you end up with sub par results.
>>4523834>you end up with sub par resultsyep ... (You) do
>>4523845Go ahead, post something OC. Your opinion otherwise is meaningless trolling.
hey /p/ i have a canon m50 mark iii am planning on using it for youtube vlogs and stand alone videoany advice on good settings or if you have this camera what setting didi you put on it ?i copied the settings from a woman's video years ago but cant re find ithow fucked am i?
>>4522959Hey anon.You should match the frame rate and shutter speed to 1:2 ratio. Also set Clarity to soften or sharpen the overall look of the shot.The M50 is sufficent for most video needs. Lighting is always more important than the camera. A fluid head tripod or gimbal are also more important than the camera itself.Don't copy women. Look online for videos that have different looks, find one you want to imitate, then work backwards to find out their gear and settings.You're only fucked if you put zero effort in. Do a bit of research and spend a little money on appropriate auxillary gear. The zoom lens might be a bit shit, but the 22mm f2 is universally praised and would give you a classic wide-angle FoV.
>>4522959>make the best APSC system>kill itWhat did Canon mean by this?
>>4523175Should have kept EF-M as the APS-C lineup and RF as soley full-frame.
>>4523175>make system that covers the needs of like 90% of camera buyers with NO upgrade path towards your expensive fool frame lineupTotal suicide.
>I never photograph anything I don’t believe in. If I love working with death, it’s because even in death I find this power of reality that no sculptor or painter could recreate, not even a Michelangelo or a Da Vinci.
>>4523746This is what happens when you can't think more than 1 layer deep

A $120 camera is all you need
im thinking of buying polaroid or instax mini or some other shitty camera. the shittiness is nostalgic for me.
>>4522370I’m buying the newest sony insteadZoomers seething>but i cant even afford daily doordash!!! truuuuuump! i hate jews!
>>4523274B-but, I DO hate the joos! And orange man IS bad! And I WILL keep saying snoy because it's funny. But I'm 35 and shoot Canon.
>>4522370I like the 40€ PowerShot A800 I bought new to mod for IR. Other than shitty screen it's nice and solid plastic blob. I kind of wish I had an unmodded one.(780nm IR pass mod. 90deg rotate and color channel swap, no other edits.)
>>4522370you can buy a 24mp APS-C DSLR for 120$
/p/, I long for the 2000s. I miss the hangouts where someone always had a digital camera and was snapping away. I miss that sweet overexposed, sharpened, sometimes saturated look that naturally came from a digicam. Please post candid photos from the 2000s like picrel. The more unique the better.If you need help, go to Google Images and search (month) (year) and the word "flickr"ex - June 2005 flickr
>>4515018dude no one is lining up, they’ll get a digital copy in the millions MAYBE in the cities, New York or LA, but it will be some heavily publicised and controlled event.
>>4515021Don't under estimate GTA fans, these are the same lunatics that were charting the stars to try and figure out when the trailer would drop. All it needs it some special edition box with some physical garbage in it and they'll line up beyond an entire city block.
>>4501803I know that lady

Can someone tell me what lightning equipment I would need, to recreate either of those photos?

>>4504097lmao
>>4491585Do you think, the people who made those statues, thought about how these statues should be lit, even in ancient times or did this kind of thinking only originate during the times of realism for painting?

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.

One of my favorites, although the light pollution from lower-left is annoying.Taken January 26 2025, I captured four planets - left to right: Mars, Jupiter, Uranus (did not know it at the time) and Earth as trees. All I wanted was the Winter Hexagon.
>>4523601And the finder for the image field (in blue)
Remember when everyone would come to this place to post fun photos and critique each other? We can and WILL have fun photo generals here again and not just another gear threadYou do actually take photos with those expensive cameras you're buying, right anon?
