>ctrl f: sqt>noneI'm going to start this one off with a stupider question than usual. Say you were asked to shoot a few wedding shots at the last minute and all you've shot before was rocks, leaves, birds and the odd landscape or building corner... what do? Asking for a friend of course but pls reply quick.
1) What subscription-free program do you goys use to edit photos?2) My first decent camera will be a Sony A6600, I did YT research and liked the IBIS feature. Presumably 4chan hates this camera and I wasted my money?
>>4502703>2) My first decent camera will be a Sony A6600, I did YT research and liked the IBIS feature. Presumably 4chan hates this camera and I wasted my money?I bought A6700 and having never used a Sony before thought it was going to be an amazing camera. The build quality/handling was nice, but on the firmware level Sony is about a decade behind the competition. It seems like they just stack features on without actually testing them and compatibility with other features. If you've never used a camera from another brand you probably won't appreciate how bad Sony's firmware is. Also, if you are just shooting in automatic modes RAW (to be edited on your computer later because Sony can't do in-camera RAW development) you won't be too bothered.

>>4502475If all you are interested in is validation from other photographers it's okay, you're not gonna reach anyone else though.
Lets talk about Lars Tunbjörk. I’d say he is the house god for us Swedish photographers and wannabe photographers (me).There are a gazillion images and photographers from the US, from the early 1900s and onwards. Just by capturing 1980s and 1990s Sweden his work stands out, add to that his sharp witty eye, flash and surrealism.
just received the new print of landet utom sig.its very good, had a few good laughs, cried, the usual...the MF ektachrome(?) colors slap hard. wonder what sort of flash unit he used, must have been quite powerful.

>>4499839I enjoy his style. Went to the exhibition at Kulturhuset while it was active and got a copy of the book as well.
>>4499934I'm in.I like a lass that can help me move my couch.
Color doesn't matter. Today when you can adjust colors just by pressing a button there's nothing more fake than a color. You should only shot B&W. Black and White photography is real and pure. Shape, shadow and light - this is what makes your photography look special, not some bright oversaturation. If your picture looks good without colors then your picture is worthy

How do you change your camera settings when you want to photograph a black person?
>>4502307Kodak Ektar says hiRemember kids film is better and:Photos of white people? = PortraPhotos of mexicans? = Kodak GoldPhotos of blacks? = EktarPhotos of chinks? = Tmax

>>4502277Go cry about it on Reddit lmao
>>4502169I usually meter off the lightest skinned subject in the frame. I don't concern myself when black people look black. I shoot for fidelity. If I want to lie to the world I'll make her look more human in post.
>>4502169set mode dial to Nbe mindful of face shine when you expose for skin tones
Why has the world abandoned photo shoots of good looking women?99% of anything I see now is selfies and if its a photoshoot its just to sell clothing or some super generic looking agency testshoot. 10 years ago or whatever the world was full of every good looking girl doing multiple photoshoots just for content. What happened?
>>4502147I do, and you don't.If you are outclassed by a fat vegan retarded truck driver with questionable social skills I'm not really sure what to tell you. Maybe grow a dick or something.
>>4502153 I drive trucks in a videogame, does this count?
>>4502153vegan? you really are retarded..
Where do I find my first ever model?
>be famous>have unlimited budged for every shot you make>get good pictureswow
If I ask some college students to help me model for my photography do I have to pay them or is giving them the pictures for the instagram enough? What is your guys experience in this?
>>4495615>about 15kg overweightNigga here likes to fuck skeletons
>>4495625She looks to be about 177cm and about 72kg. 57kg is a perfectly normal weight for that height
>>4485103I used to hire college girls on ModelMayhem to model for me for $75/hr in the 10's but MM is dead because of OnlyFans. I don't know where you hire cheap models anymore.
>>4495615Lets see that recent photo shoot then
>>4494890>I only pay for people who are either above my skill level, signed with an agency and have a ton of experience or are willing to do full nude and have the 10/10 body to back it up1000% this. Had some of my best shoots working with paid, experienced models. they gotta have the portfolio and the varied looks i'm after too.The ones "willing to do full nude" need experience to back it up, more so than a regular model IMO. had a few absolute duds in my time, they thought just being naked and hot was the only prerequisite to doing this type of shoot. (granted I didn't vet them enough before booking, so that's on me) Expect that after you start posting your work, every 'travelling model' that sees your portfolio or EOI to slide into your DMs looking for some of that sweet, sweet GWC cash. 90% of them simply aren't worth it.

>>4502721Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 DC DN
>>4502752why this over the Tamron 17-70?
>>4502721SEL35F18 was my favorite. Got it some time after getting my a6000 in 2016 and it was basically glued to my camera since.I tried the kit zoom, PZ 18-105, 20mm pancake and Sigma 19F28, but didn't like any of them except the Sigma because they all seemed pretty soft. Kept the Sigma for a bit, but didn't use it much and sold it too.There may be newer, better glass nowadays, but the 35mm was great. A bit too tight for a lot of shots though.
>>4502721Essential?Depends on what you want to photographBut as a beginner with no clear idea what i want to shootI got sigma 16mm 1.4 for milky way and low light with no flashTamron 18-300 3.5-6.3. Shit in low light but has good reach during daytime for animals birds and moon shots. Has 0.5mag for semi macro at 18mm but only 5mm working distance.Tamron 90mm 1:1 for macro. Is af lens so focus staking for static stuf is easy peasy. If you want more mag there are better lenses from laowa that are 2x mag native, cheaper but manual focus only, or you can use magnifing adaptors lenses like reynox or nisi or other apo attachments to your tele lenses to get cheap alternative for macro.I find myself using the tamron 80% of the time because of the huge focal range.Af and iq are ok for me. I switch to sigma or the 90mm only at night or when going for macro shots.Sigma 56mm 1.4 is regarded as the best portrait lens for aspcViltrox has an 56mm 1.2 lens which has some very good reviewsVitrox has a couple of excelent lenses.

Kodak Moment EditionPlease post film photos, talk about film photography, film gear like cameras, film stocks, news, and tips/tricks in this thread.Also talk about darkroom practices, enlargers, photo paper, techniques like dodging/burning, tools, and equipment related to enlarging, developing, and printing.Thread Question: What is the oldest camera or lens that you shot with? Would you use it on a daily basis?Previous thread: >>4497863
i don't know what motivates other people, i can only speak for myself. i post curated assortment of my snapshits to lomography and according to the amount of the likes, i'm not famous or skilled. but i don't care because this is my hobby, not my identity. i don't chase fame.
>>4503261Ah neat, nice pic too though I reckon the little shadow on the bottom left gives it a little deduction in points.But nice either way.Anyway, I have been fidgeting a lot with this box camera, cleaning and fixing. I fixed the closing mechanism and the focal switch and aperture switch are operational again which is nice.Though I was wondering, I checked the shutter speed with my phone and slo-mo video recording and it seems to be around 1/30 which is decent. But then take pic related, it's the internals and I pointed out the the main shutter spring, could the shutter speed be increased if I replaced the spring with one made from a slightly stiffer spring metal?Been thinking about doing a minor upgrade like this so it would also work a little better with a faster film.
>>4503210New vinyl records also cost a retarded amount and that industry is still going.
Time to dust off my ((olympus)) cameras and go shoot in Perth today, hopefully find something interesting.
>>4503265It's fine for what it is, not good not bad just a photo. It's from last summer through a Frankensteined disposable with a ultra wide plastic lens fitted to it and reloaded with Vision3 250D AHU film.
I am going to buy one as soon as they hit the market in early Novemeber. I hope I get the 1987 edition. It's fire. Which one are you hoping to score?You are going to be getting one right /p/?You aren't gonna be a contrarian try hard no Charmera /p/haggot are you /p/? ISHYDDT
Things have changed very little...
>>4470128if this or the g6 had RAW support i'd grab one in a heartbeat. why do so many cheapshits refuse to let you shoot RAW?
>>4502260RAW support (among other features) is usually dependent on the sensor module and chipset type. In other words, most of the time it isn't a 'locked away' feature, just the module itself needs to have the firmware and be sophisticated enough to support it.If Sony, Omnivision or one of the other big sensor makers makes a cheap RAW-capable module these cheap Chinese cams start using, I think this will be a real market disruptor.
I'm guessing these things turned out to be really shit and just glorified webcams, as I'm seeing piles of these things in stores now and on sale (still not cheap enough though imo).
>>4502306didn't know that, i thought the raw sensor data could be written to a file no matter what, and it was intentionally being blocked. i agree, those piece of shit aliexpress cameras might be worth anything if i could get RAW out of them.
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?

>>4493840>>4494113Holy shit that's dope. Too bad the RX0 II is like $1000. If I could throw this exact setup together for like $300-500 I'd go do it right now.
It just feels so good to use
>>4473524What camera and how is it? I've been wanting a camera I can just put in my shirt pocket and use for walking videos.
>>4473524picrel, or maybe my Exacta Varex which is overengineered and cumbersome but goes with some great lenses.>>4493499God, I WISH.
Shot on a Bessa R2M with the 35mm f/2 Ultron and a mix of Fuji 100, Provia 100, and Portra 400.Developed at various labs in Tokyo and Osaka, scanned by myself.
>>4498008Thanks anon.Never really thought about that, or realized that I don't shoot at not-eye-level. I guess I just can't be fucked bending down and trying to compose and focus on a rangefinder. Although I do remember crouching down for this shot, but it's a pretty boring shot so it wasn't worth it I guess.
>>4490843I’m planning a Japan trip and am considering taking only a 35mm prime, in order to mitigate against decision paralysis and lens changing, and to maintain a consistent aesthetic. Did you ever find yourself wishing that you had brought additional lenses, or that you missed out on a significant amount of shot due to only having a 35mm?
>>4490843Ahhhh! Thats the leader of the Illuminati, runnnn! Fr though, these are impressive, and you somehow captured the reminiscence of 80’s Japan.
>>4502191In the beginning of the trip, after getting the scans back from the first couple rolls I shot, I found myself wishing I had a 40mm-50mm because the frame lines in the viewfinder weren't exactly what was being captured (probably because I wear glasses). So a lot of shots ended up having a wider angle than I had wanted it to. But after learning from those first rolls, I started to get closer to my subject and fixed the issue. After that point I never once thought to myself "I wish I had a little more zoom/compression on this shot". The 35mm was perfect for what I needed.
>>4502242Thanks, that’s very helpful. I’m usually more of a 50mm guy, but I reckon the tight spaces in Japan are more conducive to something a little wider, hence the 35mm. Besides, I can always crop a bit if needs be. Your photos are a very good argument for one lens being all that you really need for travel.

No bugs to shootShoot some random shit Tamron 90mm15pic stack
>>4502097>bugs to shootWdym? Its spring homie.
>>4502097Isn't it kinda amazing that they managed to get their name on the plastic sleeve, as tiny as it is. Probably most people can't even read it.
does anyone know the name of those editions?they follow the scheme:lower right corner:© "name photographer x"lower left corner:"name of the photo y"name of the photo must not necissarily follow the name the photo is known under at other publishers.i have another for Werner Bischof, "child in tears": which seems to be adressed as "crying child in orphanage", usually.ty.
photo has photographer and name might be editorial photo
>literally no digital camera not even the state of the art 2025 cameras can surpass LF kodachromeHow? isnt technology supposed to get better with time?
>>4487920If I shoot kodak gold on my om1 vs my Nikon d800 it’s a huge difference.I don’t think the digital photo has ever once looked nicer.Film has nicer colours at the start and even nicer with a few tweaks. It renders light and contrast differently as well.As with everything, the shortcut wins so digital replaced film while not looking as nice. If you truely care about getting nice images over all else even in 2026 you shout film not digital.
