What makes Japan such an desired place for photography? I'm really trying to understand the hype around it. When I visited of course the size of Tokyo itself opens lots of opportunities but I quickly notice that it gets repetitive rather fast. All muh taxis look the same, the buildings have a pattern that repeats a lot. If you've seen a few shrines/temples.. in the end they all look the same. Even if you visit other prefectures you won't see much of a difference. Whenever I see camera vlogs or flickr uploads in Japan I now tend to skip because it's always the same. My current number one location would probably be Germany. Still safe enough to bring your camera with you, every state has it's own architectural style. Towns are usually a comfy mix between old medieval houses in the center with grim 60s bauhaus constructions that look really odd. Also home of Leica where this sort of everyday compact photography started. What do you think? What's your prefered location?

A photograph is simply a photon's recorded wave function. It ripples through spacetime and is possible due to it being electromagnetic fields. Digital cameras treat its fields like a solar panel would. Why it act like this is in order for a photon to get its wave function quantization exist. So all in all it is just the energy of quantization. Possible due to the mathematical nature of the universe. And all of this photography is possible because a photon's wave function can be accumulated enough to be recorded. The joke I make about this is that it is like engineering an image from how a camera is exposed to the scene it sees from the ripples of light.
Zach, I think the problem is that, as you say, you are an amateur and you wouldn't take advice from some suspiciously AI sounding rant made by an amateur (The ladder is a cool picture but the rest apart from some macro flower shots is akin to a collection of snapshits)Would you?>Maybe your next step should be writing an essay on how printers work so you can make a physical print.Summs it up pretty well, walk the walk before you talk the talk
Now where does light exist? Naturally as a radiating quantum field in the space of the universe. This exists along with leptons and quarks, and light exists like this as a boson. Your camera has to have the right electron to expose it to this. Thus an exposed image given it is a photograph.
All you need to know as to why light exists is that because energy created particles, when particles interact they create electric fields and from the interaction between particles in an atom with these electric fields, light exists.

>Sepia toning is a chemical photographic process which changes the appearance of black-and-white prints to brown.>Most digital cameras and photo software include a sepia filter to mimic the appearance of sepia-toned prints.Post your sepia photos!
>>4516168You've got color banding like that SOOC? What the fuck.
>>4516245>>4516248New camera so just taking a lot of goof around jpegs to see what happens. That plus the underexposure seem to be what's doing it, I'll continue to experiment. Don't remember if I used a recipe.>>4516235Glad you like it.
I've never been able to perceive the sepia tone look as anything other than a corny novelty color mode that comes stock on a Motorola Razr. None of us lived through the american old west, why do we keep this weirdly specific pastiche alive in digital cameras?
>>4523452honestly this. sepia just seems worse than straight bw
How can a portrait represent something about someone other than mere appearance? Can you draw out an internal character or trait from compositional elements?
>>4523222Depends. If they've been posed or told to have a certain expression, it doesn't express who they are.
>>4523222Everybody has idiosyncrasies, ways to move or do things in a manner that is specific to them.They can be real tell-tale signs of a personality.A good example is how people sit.

First post on 4chan. Not really a photograper, and is exactly underqualifed to be called a proper "photograper"Call me a faggot because this picture sucks or what ever, just tell me of its bad. Call it shit, ass, retarded I DON'T CARE. JUST SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
>>4523008your photo sucks. hard. just accept it and move on. also unless you're the new henri cartier bresson which you are not there's no photo you can take that justifies a thread on its own. shoot series. and stop whining.

>>4523650some models fold better than others
>>4523675>almost 5 cmthat's thicker than a good chunk of cameras, and thicker than all the cameras I can think of which don't have a viewfinder which are the only cameras this would be useful in.
>>4523721that 1.8" dimension probably includes the projecting rail which slides into the tripod plate. Here's a pic mounted on Sigma BF which is 3.7cm thick including lens mount projection. The rubber in folded position would be slimmer than that body.Not an ideal solution for sure, I would prefer an EVF, but it opens up some possibilities for EVF-less cameras.

Hey guys, newfag here. Can you guys share some tips on how to take 85mm portrait photos like a professional? I don't have a camera though. Unless, you guys count smartphone as camera.
>>4522963>newfag thinks the focal length makes photos profesional lookingAnon I'm not even sure where to start with this bass ackwards thinking. Anything within in the 80-200mm range can give you bokeh-filled cummy yummy dreamy memey results with varying levels of perspective distortion.
>>4522963in real life majority of gains come from light, camera angle, wardrobe and backdrop. practice each of those one at a time to see how they change the effect.
>>4522979Hi, I fixed your shitty outdated image format into a modern one that is actually useful and can be scrubbed through. Kindly delete your animated gif immediately.
>>4522963First step is understanding what focal length does, and that's mostly giving you a certain framing at a certain subject distance, which will impact how the subject appears relative to the background. Picrel has some examples of framing with different focal lengths (and thus different subject distances). I like 85mm for 1/2 body to head and shoulders verticals, and head an shoulders horizontals. In your case with a phone, you should opt to stand farther away and zoom in. For most of the actual "look" that you're probably after, it's just lighting + processing. Your example reminds me a bit ofBenoit Paillehttps://www.behance.net/gallery/2345212/Stranger-Projectand Andre Josselinhttps://www.behance.net/gallery/53001729/With-Charleen-in-Barcelonahttps://www.behance.net/gallery/72390397/Caro-Lossberg-in-New-York-CityAlthough both of them mostly just use a 35mm lens. You could get Benoit's exact setup down below for under $800 probably, and maybe like $1k for a comparable Andre setup. Then just learn basic processing.Going back to your example, we can tell she's positioned in front of a very large light, like a window. We can see it in her eyes, and look at how soft the shadows are on the cheek. Then typical faux film processing like lifting the blacks, and applying a grain effect.
I've just realized that the upcoming solar flare will be actually (partially) visible near me. It will happen basically just as the sun sinks under the horizon but still visible. I don't have a solar filter, and they're ot in stock anywhere near me.Chatgpt says that I could fry my shit without one, what do you guys think?Gear: sony alpha 6400 and Tamron 18-300, obviously near the 300 range for this shot.Option b is there's an astrology store that sells filter inserts for telescope and I could somehow jerryr-ig it around the lens hood with some card board, painters tape and foam padding, but it's a bit of a bother to get it.
>>4522409>(partially) visibleThe interesting thing about eclipses is how they change the day to night, but that only happens in the path of totality. At the very edge of totality like 99% it's interesting too, but otherwise the moon taking a chunk out of the sun isn't terribly interesting or even noticeable if not paying attention.>Chatgpt says that I could fry my shit without one, what do you guys think?Yes - ever played with burning things with a magnifying glass?That's what you are doing with your lens/sensor when you point it at the sun.
>>4522409Don't point your gear at it. Wait until it's over and you'll be able to view a ton of photos taken by people with the proper equipment to do so.
>>4522436>The interesting thing about eclipses is how they change the day to night, but that only happens in the path of totality. At the very edge of totality like 99% it's interesting too, but otherwise the moon taking a chunk out of the sun isn't terribly interesting or even noticeable if not paying attention.Do you not think that this looks cool.I've even found location where it's setting into a nice looking mountain range>>Chatgpt says that I could fry my shit without one, what do you guys think?>Yes - ever played with burning things with a magnifying glass?>That's what you are doing with your lens/sensor when you point it at the sun.Yeah, but I was thinking that maybe with the setting sun it would bee much less powerful.>>4522438You could say that foe literally any photo subject apart from your family
>>4522466>Do you not think that this looks cool.>I've even found location where it's setting into a nice looking mountain rangeYeah, that's a cool photo, but the ones without landscape or clouds, just a sun with a bite taken out aren't worth it.
>>4522409Did it btw, no issues to the lense or the cameraI think people are just being retarded and pointing the camera at the midday sun for minutes
How to chose a soft focus lens for my nikon fm2? I'd like to keep it at max 400 euros second hand if it's possible. People get very different results depending on how they use it so it's hard to aim for a specific look. What I like from this thread:>>4519909>>4519431>>4519391Should I just get the EF 135 with a nikon adapter if I like this look? I've also seen some decent results from a lensbaby velvet 56, what's your opinion on it?
>>4522832Kenko MC soft looks kinda cool and very inexpensive. Lens design is a simple 3 element design similar to the cooke triplet/zeiss triotar. Softness is aperture controlled so no additional parts you have to worry about/lose.
>>4522843Great suggestion, thanks. I also found out the nikkor af dc 135 f2 has a defocus mechanism that is like the canon ef 135 but I have no idea if it's worth the price difference when i'm only interested in a heavy vintage soft focus look. It's out of my budget anyway.
>>4519457>Minolta VarisoftYet another lens to add to the list for my SR bayonet cameras
>>4519381I checked the work of Leonard Misonne and I was unaware it was possible to make such beautiful images with a camera. I'm aware large format and also his chemical process played a big role in getting those images, but is it possible to attempt a similar style using a 35mm film camera? What lens would fit best on F Mount?
