Is there really an unwritten rule against taking photos of homeless people for street photography?
>>4468565>homeless by choiceyou're trash just kys
>>4468566>Their fentanyl addiction/chronic alcoholism/pot addiction is entirely involuntary!yes and fat people are doomed by genetics to be fat and ozempic is a human right sure
>>4468565This is especially true in areas with a more temperate climate.
>>4468564> I'm a street photographer> I loiter all day> I take creephots of bald people, tresspass, and I shove flash in people's faces> I seek to get fame and gratification from being a useless annoying cunt> But I will preach how filming a hobo is badAlthough this describes the whole demographic of city dwellers. City living is sadomasochism, and hobos are sacred because devote their whole life to it.

Good afternoon!I have been an amateur enthusiast film photographer for a few years now.I have been shooting with my Nikon N65 and the standard kit lens that it came with.I am hoping to make my first big upgrade to a better lens.I was eyeing a 35mm lens as I like to take pictures similar to pic related (it is an actual picture I took)Any input is appreciatedI apologize in advance for any lack of insight
So.. I am thinking that after a lot of research to get the Nikon Nikkor 35mm f/2 af-d as my prime.. what do you guys think? I want to stick with 35mm as I am not too keen on the 28mm look.. any suggestions/advice/criticism is greatly appreciated.. thank you!

>I need a camera bag>search "camera backpack">234,484+ different bags to choose from. Why is like this with fucking bags?
>>4459101>a lump of plastic fiber and plastic straps>that'll be 250 euroschang is laughing at you idiots
>>4459772>be me, going on a weekend trip>take the zf with a 35mm prime on a strap>blower? chargers? electronics? lol am I some fucking nerd glued to the shutter button or what>take maybe 30 photos ... didn't need any blower or chargeranon you lie, you're a fucking nerd. you'd never leave your house for longer than 20 minutes
>>4455807luv me zoomsimple as
>>4459085wtf how did you get this picture of me
>>4468438
>Tried rangefinder camera for the first time>Yashica_Electro_35_GTN.jpg>Felt absolutely like shit to shoot>The shutter sound boring>Felt awkward to holdRemind me again why people like film rangefinder? Not to mention that my friend bought it used and the quality of the viewfinder itself is quite terrible. so like, why? Do I need to try Leica or something?
>>4451975sumbitch, i felt privileged to hold this thing as a child. my dad kept it locked away and my fingers craved that metal heft. you're probably just gen z. go generate some photos instead.
>>4451975its the lens desing and short longest timelens often be widenormal very close to film surface
>>4451979
>>4451975>the shutter sound boringare you really this much of an autist?
>>4451975I like using my Olympus XA rangefinder, mainly because it's tiny and I can carry around in a pant pocket for random family photos whenever we go out.I have no interest in lugging around my SLR when we go to a diner or concert.>>4467778There's a weird amount of people that consider the "feel" and "sound" of the shutter and film advance to be a significant factor in how much they like a camera.IMO the only things that matter are ergonomics, features, and image quality.
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.
>>4465377For me it’s the exposure never being satisfactory. The mirror slap isnt an issue I still get sharp images as long as i dont shoot too wide. I also use the mirror up feature as much as i can
>>4439378Technically not a lens on its own but it would be my 2.8E3 with only ~2000 units made, the Xenotar is pretty standard fare though. The least common interchangeable lens I own would either be the Zuiko 85/2, 180/2.8, or 500/8.
I don't own it but I watched this sell today at my local auction house. Was estimated £3-5k. Sold for £12,000 plus 30% commission.
>>4468243Seems like the market for ultra rare is healthy then.. rare/high end 60-80s has been going down by a lot.
>>4439378Nikkor AF-S 85mm f1.4Yes, I know, it's not rare at all. But I like it.
little road trip
>>4462004>filenames can not be changedlooks like micro four thirds thoprotip to op: stop the car or ay least roll down the window
>>4463220>>4463225No one LARPs as a fujitranny. Either you own a fuj, or you stay away from the worms.
>>4463225>protip to op: stop the car or ay least roll down the windowit started raining and lightning as soon as we got the castle. we just walked around the castle quick and then drove home.
>>4461407yo bro which camera do you use ?
>>4463225it’s a road trip anonit adds to the atmosphere
>it now cost $20 to develop film only with no prints or scansAHHHHHHHHH
>>4411869welcome to film in 2025
>>4468260I don't do it because it doesn't make sense to me, I barely shoot a roll of c41 a color and the chemicals will just go bad and waste unlike my bottle of rodinal that I had since 2015.
>>4468260B&W is piss easy, just takes time.C-41 is easy, but takes more time and requires a dedicated space.I'm not processing E-6 at home fuck that.
>>4468303are there even films that require e6 nowadays?
>>4468311Yes? E100 is still being produced.

>"DUDE 50mm PRIME LENS is so good">*tried 50mm prime lens out*>tried to shoot places>too tight>tried to shoot interior>too narrowthis is fucking suck, this has got to be a fucking meme. There is no way people actually prefer this over 24-70mm.
>>4463574would, absolutely would
>>4455763>tried to shoot places>too tightjust walk back 15-20 steps fatso and you'll get a 35mm for free
>>4455763you are shooting digital and/or mirrorless huhif not (SLR or rangefinder lol) just indulge me do a little test: keep both eyes open, one through the viewfinder and the other looking at the same sceneEH? EH? YOU GET IT NOW?faggot
>>4468787I have no idea about optics but it's quite suspicious that for binoculars the field of view is independent of magnification (focal distance)You can have an 8x binocular with a HUGE field of view that makes you feel like you are sitting in the cinema (notorious example being the 8x40 Nikon Action EX, I love that lil monster) or a chinese no-name 8x binocular with a little circle "just cope bro that's how binoculars are"
>>4455763I wish I was rich so I could pull a loser gf.
Please critique me. I am an amateur photographer, looking to get better. Here is a still life I took photos of today.
>>4466839This one looks so much better than the coloured ones. But seeing the OP colour photos i believe the black and white looks good but that you didn’t do it on purpose, b&w simply is forgiving.As others have said, the still life is bad. Subject and arrangement lacks composition. Light is soft but ends up looking unintentional.Copy the masters
>>4466906To expand a bit. Get all your subjects as much in focus as you can with your focal length. Having the head in the op image out of focus isn’t nice. Get the light to be intentional on your subject and not spill all over the place just because it’s nice. Try other angles as to isolate or put your subject in the center place of the viewers gaze. In the op pic it’s just all over the place and looks like you randomly held up your hand to snap a pic of a table with shit on it. As another post also said, get better subjects or rearrange them better.Glhf
>>4466906>>4466915Thank you very much for the critique. It's helped immensely. I tried to put the colour photos in black and white, but, as you say, the depth of field and focus isn't right, nor is the composition. I need one, singular hard light to make this still life, and more interesting subjects, but I will have to save up for that.
>>4467111>but I will have to save up for that.In the meantime buy a good old yellow bulb and use household items to nail the techniques. Look up light cutting/control methods in cinematography.
Any updates OP? Wanna see some something by Antinatalists other than whining and being miserable.
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.
>>4463010amazing
>>4462992I have like 10 packs of GB Printer paper unopened. I got them from TRU on clearance for like .25 each.The funny part is that I didn’t get a Printer until like 10 years later.
>>4466372There's a pretty high chance the chemicals in those roll is faded by now, I'd suggest getting new rolls.I've seen people recommend this one if you live in the States.
>>4463016How come you’re allowed to post tits? I thought this was a blue board!!! MOOOOODS

What smartphone cage rig do you guys recommend?What kind of accessories should I put on it? Microphone, light, etc
>>4467466Why keep attacking the person and ignoring the argument?Ad hominem.*yawn* Anything else?
>>4467469your argument was that you’re too much of a bitch to carry a camera. since you’re a narcissist (proven by how hard you try to pretend to be smarter than everyone else) you think your pussy ass nature is the gold standard. case closed.
>>4467471>"Why use a calculator when you can do it by hand?!"Because it's optimizing. Why work hard when you can work smart.Don't you feel embarrassed about yourself?
>>4467474avoiding exertion isn't working smart after a point. it's being a pussy.>why take good photos by carrying an unnoticeable amount of weight when i'm a pussy ass bitch and can barely fit an iphone in my skinny jeans? 28mm hdr smeary aislop is totally just as good bruhyou are doing something entirely different because you are physically and mentally incapable of the original goal. you are too weak to carry a camera. you are too insecure and neurotic to be seen with one. end of.and a calculator IS a good analogy for btfoing you and you dont know itmental math is significantly faster than you fumbling with a calculator... unless you're a fucking idiot. aka not smart. people who are bad at math are not intelligent. this is a hard and fast rule of human intelligence. not good at math = not good at abstract thinking or problem solving.work harder not smarter right? mental math is working smarter. because it is literally the domain of people who are objectively smarter than you. better people than you. your superiors.so you basically btfo yourself
>>4467544Face it: a smartphone is better than a DSLR.DSLR takes better pictures, but the latest flagship smartphone is almost comparable and infinitely available.I'll take the picture as you worry about setting up and/or finding where you put your DSLR or whatever and miss the moment.

>>4467812I was in same boat, bought a 5d mk2 and a 50mm 1.8 for like 200$ all in and it takes nice photos and the menus/dials etc are really easy to pick up. I will sound retarded but I was shocked that cameras really need a lot of light so if you plan on doing any night time shooting or anything in less than good light probably get a tripod. You can push the iso a bit on the 5d2 but not hugely. I also bought a $20 1990 canon slr and can use the same lense for which is nice to try out. I would also say you can typically recoup your money on this stuff if you don’t like it, if you don’t mind dealing with eBay etc.

What sort of psychopath buys a camera that doesn't have a viewfinder?
Thinking of replacing my XF 10-24mm f4 when I get my X-E5I'm probably going to get a Sigma 17-40mm for the long end plus more reach but I'm not sure what to replace the wide end withMy current thinking is either>Sigma 12mm f1.4>Sigma 10-18mm f2.8>Tamrom 11-20mm f2.8Thoughts?
