Is it ethical to photograph a tragedy, like a car accident or a house fire? What about a man being placed under arrest? Is it ethical to photograph that? These are all things that happen in public: is there some imperative that ought to restrain a man from taking a photo of such a situation? For my part, I do not find it unethical. I am a witness, and the camera is a tool of my testimony; and the people are hypocritical who talk down on the photographers who take such photos: for, in one breath, they censure taking photographs; but, in another, they tell all they saw to their friends. It is a double standard that, somehow, telling the tale is no burden for a man's conscience, but taking the photograph ought to be; but I am somewhat a cold and hard man. What do you think, anon? Is it right to photograph a tragedy?
technically, it's journalism physically, i don't want to be assaulted by homeless people so i don't photograph them unless they're actively committing crimes that need to be recorded

I saw police arresting a man and confiscating his bike. I didn't photograph it./thread
>>4537778The "mafia effect". The evil twin of the bystander effect, the idea if an event has no witnesses it never actually happened. The big hurdle socially is admitting this dynamic confirms existence of a power structure in a group formed during an accident or incident where they all hold the victim at fault by default, and inherently view the action as justified
>>4537778I: fucked your mom; in public: and there are photographs; of that
What do you photograph for if? I have thousands of edited photos on my harddrives that I shot in the last 15 years. Family, travel, etc. The only purpose I found is to look at them like once per year and get some feelz and nostalgia. Maybe very few of them get even sent to my family whatsapp group. And that's it. Sometimes I wonder.. is it all? No of course not because it's also a learning factor. I can see that my framing and editing style improved vasty over the years. And most important I enjoy the process of taking photos and editing them. Reading about new gear is interesting too. I often read that people like to print, wether a big picture on the wall or photobooks. But I can't justify spending €€€ on those books that I probably look at even less often than directly on the HDD. Also whenever I print a bigger pic and put it in a frame.. after weeks or months I don't wanna see it anymore.

i saw in other threads anons saying that more people should make threads for their photo sets rather than fill /rpt/ with them so here we golast week I got a haul of vintage canon FD lenses from a thrift store for a couple dollars. every image I post in here is taken with one of those lenses adapted to my Canon R7 APS-C Mirrorless. Most of them are taken with a Canon FD 50mm f1.8 that was in poor condition before I took it apart and cleaned it. every photo was then edited in lightroom (some lightly, some heavily) and compressed. This was my first time really using manual focus so no guarantee of sharp focus.I plan to shoot with these lenses more so I will update this thread as long as it stays alive. I encourage others to post their photos taken with vintage lenses on modern bodies as well!
>>4537922>using a "modern focus-by-wire lens on an old body "You do know there's new focus-by-wire lenses released on old mounts, right? Right?
>>4537970>new F-mount lensesLast first party F mount lens was released 6 years ago.>both in old and new bodiesThere are no "new" F mount bodies. It's a dead mount discontinued in 2020. You're delusional, kiddo.When people talk about NEW lenses or NEW cameras they're talking about current gen MIRRORLESS and not OLD and DEPRECATED camera systems like F mount.

Can somebody please take photos of clouds with this camera? Preferably at day and dusk, ISO 100. I'm thinking about getting one, but I'm not sure. I mostly shoot clouds, and this Foveon X3 sensor attracts me with it's colors
>>4537695>I can't see anythingpbkac
>>4537698That’s not what I said retard. I said>I can't see anything you couldn't get with a Bayer sensor and literally any RAW editorIf you can’t see all that you have an actual pbkac

>>4537748Don't take his latest bait. Just don't reply to him anymore.
>>4537748You're in the right. It's a scientific fact that while foveon and monochrome do have more resolution than bayer, it's just 50% more.The SD quattro and H are only as good as 30mp/38mp bayer cameras and the cheaper shitter 15mp ones aren't actually any better than a typical 24mp bayer cameraFrom ISO 100 to 200As long as nothing moves (has less to do with foveon and more to do with sigma being unable to make a good camera to actually use vs. a meme camera to post the specs sheets and marketing claims for)Foveon was a promising technology that died because sigma bought it

Recommendations for a family camera?Family of four looking for a camera that takes decent photos and video and is portable enough to always have on hand during vacations and events. I'm willing to pay a decent amount but nothing obscene and I don't care if its film or digital but I guess the video requirement necessitates digital.

>>4535653i got it. i dont know if something is wrong with the lens but when i half press the take a pic it spazzes out trying to focus and never really does most of the time and has had an error 60 a couple of timesi just realized that if i focus from the lcd screen though there is no issue at all. i really dont want to deal with returning it and getting another so ill just keep it i guessi see the grip issue people talk about but its not a big deal although i was going to get the grip extension until i saw it was 100$ which is silly for a what it is

>>4536387What I found interesting is that Lynch used Sony cameras and one early 00s Canon (used during the years around Inland Empire presumably when he started going into digital).
I don't know if I'm in the right place here, but today I got a disposable camera at the flea market in Pforzheim for just under €1, and it's still partially wrapped in plastic, so it's partly in its original packaging.She has a roll of film that can only take 15 photos; no pictures have been taken yet.This camera is from Fujifilm, but it has a piece of paper over it stating that it is from the brand "Bär," or that it has simply been resold under that brand. It expired around 2005. I can't find any Pictures of it anywhere.
>>4536222# Idk, i got it on the flemarket
There are believe it or not collectors of disposable cameras, but this seems to be oddly specific and finding anyone who are willing to pay a premium for it is next to impossible.
>>4536162Having only 15 pictures only mean that if ever this was valuable film, which it is most certainly not, it would be worth only half of what a 36 roll would be. So if this was a roll of something like fuji natura, which it is not, and it was conserved well, which it certainly was not, it would be worth up to 25$. But it's not.
>>4536322this but it will also still cost the same to develop sooo I would personally put it up on ebay for $10k and hope for the best
>>4536145Have those 4 guys sign the camera and then sell it for tree fiddy.
Hi, I heard this was a good place to get feedback and advice on my photography.How can I get a consistent “look” with direct flash portrait photography?Specifically, I usually shoot in shutter priority and a static ISO depending on lighting. I have been keeping my flash manual because I noticed TTL was very inconsistent with flash power and not every shot came out how I wanted. The issue I have is that as lighting changes and as I move around or change my focal length I have to adjust my flash, take a test shot, then adjust again, etc. until I have it dialed in to the “look” I am going for.What can I do to improve my process?
>>4531826why would you even use a flash in this situationjust turn her to face the light
>>4536968based coomer
>>4536968Also Will op actually post tits or not? What he has produced so far has been an absolutely shameful display of “modesty” and an “appreciation” of the “feminine form”. It’s total bullshit. If you’re going to shoot porn at least have the balls to actually shoot porn. It’s not “neat” just because they have the bits covered with some shitty ass clothes. Cover them with some of the foreground. Cover them with a semi natural pose. Be fucking creative with your set and setting. The curtain is gay. If you’re gonna shoot port at least actually shoot the porn. Nobody is watching porn for the sake of the couch just like I’m not looking at your dumb pictures for the sake of the fucking cactus. Jesus Christ it’s like you haven’t actually studied the medium at all and are just going out with a camera and some cheap prostitutes that gave you the best discount because they got to keep on their Marshall’s bikini or good will crop top. It’s fucking bullshit bro. Do you want it to be art? Ok. That’s fine. Then study your fucking compositions and FUCKING APPLY THEM. are you just shooting porn? THEN SHOOT THE FUCKING PORN!! At this point with the pictures you have posted I genuinely cannot answer these two questions and that indicates a serious problem with your professional direction and artistic intention that you need to study before you even consider taking another photo.
>>4531352> Specifically, I usually shoot in shutter priority and a static ISO depending on lighting.In case of shooting something similar as in your pic, I personally would just set the camera on manual mode.Assuming that - There is only a single flash with some manual control on power - no light meter I would probably do something like this:1) decide that I want as little as possible ambient light; set shutter speed to max flash sync speed (e.g 1/125)2) decide that I'm not going for esp. shallow depth of field; set aperture to f5.6 - f83) Take test photos without any flashes and adjust ISO speed to see which ISO value(s) still keep ambient light out well enough.4) If even the lowest ISO lets in too much ambient light, increase aperture f-value and accept that plan from step 2 must be compromised5) Take test photo with flash on and make following adjustments until satisfiedComment too long.

Newfag here, I really like shooting buildings but don't really know what to do beyond hurr durr point and shoot so any criticism or advice is appreciated.(1/15)
>>4535352That is an astute observation
>>4520778clearly you already know what you likefigure out why you like it, whether its the geometry or the shade casting or the isolation against the sky.... whateverfind a picture u liked and figure out why it was good and just try and get control over that maybe start to be aware of clutter and shit in the frame that takes away from what you were actually focusing on?maybe try fucking around in some editing software and see if it helps with inspiration, tons of free stuff about nowsomeone else commented on symmetry and vertical/horizontal lines which is good adviceI don't do much architecture stuff but ur pictures are in focus and mostly exposed well so its a great start.
>>4520778Best things to shoot are schools and kindergartens, be sure to take pictures afterwards.
op, these are some damn boring photos.building remind me of france. you must be in europe somewhere with the modern but not quite daring architecture.
How can I recreate a photo like this solo? A huge flower field has bloomed near me and I want to recreate similar shots. I was thinking about duct taping my DSLR onto a ladder
>>4536718Why should the opinion of others stop anon from taking a neat photo?
>>4536718>Imagine being this insecure about anything in lifeHow do you even get your groceries?
>>4536726A surprising amount of people have implicit fucks to give about what others think of them. >>4536729Ditto for people being insecure with themselves.Guys, these are not groundbreaking facts, and anon could easily fit into either category.
>>4536717Eh, not the most 'professional' thing to use let alone you can't really adjust the camera at a precise vertical angle>>4536718I think if people see me in a suit and sunglasses when its 25-32C they'd already think I have problems. Ladder is like the least strange thing possible. In fact the bigger issue is if I choose a farm field of lavander, sunflowers, or canola I'd probably get tresspassed
The famous Abbey Road Beatles photo was taken using a ladder. All professionals have a ladder in their camera bags.

My best moonshot so farwith a viltrox 2x teleconverter on the sigma 60-600mm set to 567.5mm so it was a 1,135mm shot at reno lookout on the 191 with a iso 50 & f11 1/200 & only a single shot no stacking at all
>>4531158A Dobsonian, right? Very common class of telescope, I used to have one. Didn't like the size & weight, the collimation requirements, or the lack of slow-motion controls on the mount, but the big aperture was really nice.>I guess I can get a different eyepiece.Careful with that, at f/6 you'll have to be mindful of how different eyepieces perform differently at shorter focal ratios, some handle fast optics fine while some need over f/10 to perform well, others sit somewhere in the middle. This is known as optical correction, usually shortened to just "correction" in common parlance. Your own tolerance for outer field aberrations will also play a factor in selection. Eyepieces with good correction for fast optics tend to be more expensive, especially if they also have a wide field of view. I think Plossls at least work okay at f/6 though, but you may find the small eye lens and short eye relief of the shorter focal length Plossls uncomfortable (of course you may also find it to be no problem at all, and it's about a 50/50 split so you'll be in good company either way).
