I want to buy a Christmas gift for a girl and I thought of a polaroid as a great gift for her. My question to you, /p/ederasts, is whether it's worth it and not just a meme
Seconding the Instax, it's simple to use and fun. Buy some cute film with the hello kitty or barbie or some other childish cartoon and she'll enjoy it.>t. I'm a cute girl and my bf bought this for me <3
>>4482270?????? this is /lgbt/ bro
>>4482272This guy definitely never had a partner to think about giving a Polaroid toThis is an older thread now but girls like Polaroids they’re fun little things to own, I got my gf one one time and she really likes using it it don’t matter if it’s a meme or not if they enjoy it who cares

>>4484691>I am publishing a zine of anonymous confessions. I'm looking for photo submissions under the theme: confessionSounds like a genuine idea, OP>If selected, I will immediately send you a very nice, very large print of your work, as well as a free copy of the publication once it is releasedSorry if this question seems dumb, how would you know where/whom to send the print and a copy of the zine if its all anonymous? I really want to know how it works
>>4487623i originally intended for the confessions to be anonymous andi figured photographers would want credit for their work.But I have had several submission where the photographer didn't want credit, so in that case there are a couple ways to remain anonymous.1. you don't have to receive the free print or the zine if you are truly concerned about anonymity. 2. you can submit your photo through a burner email and ship to a 3rd party, often times print shops or shipping centers will accept packages on your behalf. just make sure they don't require a drivers license or valid ID. might be more of a problem these days, but back in the day you could pick up any package as long as you knew the name on it.3. you could sign up for my mailing list separately from your submission. i have over 100 people on my list so far and i just started this project. i'm hoping to have several hundred by the time this is ready to release. while this won't get you a copy of your photograph, it can get you a copy of the zine. ultimately, i'll need to know your shipping address, but there will be no way to link it to your submission.
>>4487680>but back in the day you could pick up any package as long as you knew the name on it.Duluth?
>time to confess fellow anons>send me your address >link me to your cloud storage>totally not a fedI have a confession for you, my frog folder takes up more storage than my photos.
>>4487691Screenshot your frog folder with how many pictures are in it and submit that. Seems like a great confession to me. Imagine a huge print in your room of that. wowza!
started looking at photos i shot back in 2008-2010ish and decided to do a dump.
I like the OP photo the most but>>4487079>>4487087>>4487093>>4487099>>4487103>>4487114>>4487116are also really cool.

Post photos you like.

>>4486625The lizard’s head specifically is out of the frame because you are forbidden from knowing the identity of the cold blooded reptilians who have arranged the world so excessive industrial output trounces the well being of industrial participants for no particular reason but their adherence to the supreme moral value of currency, which is represented by the treasure chest to the rightThe photo is about a proletarian revolution through the means of their own slavery
>>4486625You mean the easily hateable j… nep… uhhh, photographer thinks all work is humiliating and alienating and cant bear to portray humans engaging in it lest it be expected of him
Why are photography YouTubers so shit? They mostly churn out boring nontent while dressing like a copy of a copy of a copy of someone who thought he might closet cosplay Ansel Adams. Who are they aping?Almost all have the cadence and tone of a best buy sales associate either slowly conniving a golden HDMI cable sale or postponing their suicide on a Sunday evening only since their parents are still alive; with no in-between.I meet smarter and more interesting people IRL at camera club or local stores, so it's not as if this hobby is exclusively for people prescribed Klonopin and SSRIs.Half of them are just talking head slop direct to camera talking about what gear to buy (micro four nerds)The ones that do teardowns and repairs of gear are usually fine, but those aren't exactly photo videos at that point.The only guy that does the "video of taking photos" thing I can stand is Nick LoPresti since he doesn't talk like he's constipated, but lately the lack of constipation has become a problem since he's been diarrhea-shitting up my sub box with low-effort commentary videos sitting in front of a green screen. Idk who he's aping there, 2016 twitch? Don't like it, especially one where he and his wife are politisperging about shit like how "they can't use Google search for inane things because it'll track you" for what feels like several minutes.Snappiness may be my second favorite even though he looks and talks like a queer (he has kids so I guess he isn't technically). At least he does ridiculous things with cameras that are more interesting than "I walked and took a photo of something and had some ennui about it".Also, I hate gxAce with a passion, dead horse of a gimmick beaten into dust at this point. 80% of his videos serve no purpose to the modal viewer since they're just a rain-dance to the corporate marketing teams to get them to send him gear. (Also combining sloppy wet deep-throat glazing prose with an aloof tone is uniquely excruciating to listen to.)
>>4487595He was always a major faggot, hard to really like someone when they take the sarcastic bong humor seriously as a personality trait, not even brits can pull it off oftenAnd doesn't help he didn't know how to use the gear half the time
>>4483912Have you seen his gf? Woof!
>>4487613ex gfshe left him and took her money with her. now he's struggling to pay for hist shit
>>4487615Is this confirmed or just based on him being extra moody?
>>4487613His new gf is a dog? I guess he is from 4chan
Which camera bag do you currently own? Does anything currently compete with the McKinnon Sling in terms of price+quality+features? Trying to find one of a similar size that will be comfortable enough for moving around.
I know 2-3 people in the last /bag/ liked my camera bag setup a few months ago, good news is I just saw it show up for sale on buyee. The 80-320mm is a decent tele too for the money if its in decent shape if you're a Pentax shooter but the 24-105mm it comes with looks moldy.Shipping will kill the deal but at least the lens its coming with is a nice bonus if you're a Pentax shooter. https://buyee.jp/item/jdirectitems/auction/l1201632331?conversionType=jdirectitems_auction_DirectSearch#group=nogroup&photo=0
>>4485788I mostly use the 500AW and my sigma 150-600 also takes up most of the space. But I can still fit a couple of other lenses plus some other shit like a small bottle and gloves. It's quite heavy though, the bag itself already weighs 2 kg. I also have the 350AWII but it's too small, my D750 doesn't even fit in height with an L-bracket attached.
>>4487072I have Billinghams that are 20-30 years old and the leather is still perfectly fine. The trim on the new models also seems to be of the same quality in my experience. Just treat it like you would any other leather item (light greasing once in a while) and it'll last pretty much forever
On a related topic, I'm tired of these pleather lens pouches that start to flake whenever you actually start using them, like pic rel. Any tips for replacement?

>>4474364I just saw the way you’ve blended the neck with the white background. If the entire image was blended into the background that way, I think it would be a great artistic effect. Also, since it’s supposed to look “illustrative,” I think, sharpness is working against you. Softness could improve the aesthetic quality of the image.
>>4473351Did you use any flash or reflector so they are not underexposed? By the angle of the sun that guy should look like a nigger
>>4473341you missed a major opportunity not having them kiss so that the sun is between the two of them, and metering off the sunset>>4473342do you have bad knees or something? why shoot from eye level for this?>>4473351this is the best of the series>>4473465>>4473482these are fucking dope>>4473679everyone knows the key to great photos is to leave parts of the body sort of out of frame, not center OR use the rule of thirds, and make sure the horizon's not level

photos of my cat Rupert that i took on my phone which at least trace amounts of thoughtful composition, as per the board rules I like this shot because it really focuses on his face, which is cute

Martin Parr R.I.P.Street and Documentary style dump thread
>>4486988Bro, this sucks.I semi regularly pop to the Martin Parr foundation, went and saw his film where he came and did a little storytime at the end and I bumped into him in a cafe a few months ago, said "thanks for the inspiration" whilst spillin' spaghetti. Pour a cup of tea out for a real one :(
>>4487027So you're saying they're timeless?
>>4486988Rest in peace King.Martin Parr was based for not giving a fuck and for making fun of people. Humanity is a not a sacred. More often than not it is grotesque race. Fuck those twitter subhumans who canceled him over nothing. May all of those die painful deaths.
>>4487294He was cancelled when the last resort first came out for doing "exploitative poverty porn", so he did the cost of living next, which had it's sights on the middle/upper class.Anyone trying to cancel him today is just lacking in historical context or an understanding of his work.

How do I get over the fear of using my camera in public? I got a fancy camera but I've never taken any shots with it because I'm too scared to go outside with it and use it
>>4475841I love taking photos of subjects with people around. I like to pretend I am focusing on a building above, then take a quick shot when I lower the camera to make sure I have people, and continue looking up for 2 seconds and move out.
>>4456713Easy mode is to go to areas with nice landscapes and take photos. Does not have to be touristy, can be off the beaten path if you want to maintain introvert levels. Some interstates even have pull offs on scenic routes where there are fantastic overlooks or nice scenes to photograph. Too scared to leave home? Take moon photos via a tripod. Do night shots with long exposure times. Hook your camera up to a telescope.
>>4457542Stranger Danger training plus you were being a voyeur. Unless there is a literal Christmas light show at said home, you should NOT be outside photographing it, there is nothing interesting there. TV and media have conditioned Americans to think you are a bad boi and need a cop-based spanking for doing that, you are clearly a gang member casing the joint to rob it for taking pics. Plus social media is chock full of people shaming others for mundane crap. Camera out = social media whore.
>>4456736>takes pics of random kids playingPedoThis guy exploits people for his own personal profit. Publishes their faces without consent. Piece of shit. Don’t be like this asshole.
>>4456713If you live in a place where you can't carry a pistol, carry pepper spray. Be polite and cordial. There is no expectation of privacy in public. As long as you aren't taking photos of kids, you're fine.
1/?This is the review of an OM-5 micro 4/3 camera. I am a full frame user, and I bought this camera to have a small, fun, attractive camera to take snapshits around town. I own or have owned a D850, Z5ii, Z6ii, basically every Nikon DXXX DSLR, D500, Z50, etc. This is my first M43 camera and I was not sure what to expect, so I am chronicling my impressions both for myself, and for other photographers who are looking for a small, fun camera. Ergonomics: This camera is outstanding IMO. For me the Nikon FF cameras are in this weird middle spot that is ergonomically uncomfortable for me. They are either too small or too big. The D850 and my D7500 fit my hand fantastically. I will always have a Nikon DSLR because they are so comfortable to hold and use. The OM-5 is smaller to hold than my Z5ii for example, and that gets it out of the uncomfortable middle ground. With the Z5, I’m always between holding it in front with all of my fingers, or just 3 – there isn’t really enough room for all 4, but with 3, it feels a little insecure. With the OM-5, three fingers fit perfectly. There is enough grip on the front and a great thumb rest on the back. The buttons are very well placed on the camera body for operation while shooting. Simply put, this is a very comfortable camera to hold and shoot. For reference, when I am walking around and shooting, I grip the camera the entire time in my right hand, and have a wrist lanyard for safety. This can be fatiguing with a larger DSLR (the D800 in particular had almost no thumb rest and it was agonizing to carry. The D850 is much better, but is just heavy and gets tiring on the wrist after several hours). The D7500 is extremely comfortable in this regard because of its blobmera shape and light weight. The Z series FF cameras are in the middle ground of just “ok”. The OM-5 was very good.TO BE CONTINUED
I think a nice re-edit of one that I posted basically SOOC yesterday...
If it is pleasurable, why is kitsch considered worthless?
>>4486943>faggot copeit makes 0 difference if you kys yourself now or die from AIDS later - no one cares. even your parents hate you
>>4479974>go to a social gathering>walk around starting conversations in front of ppl but only start with some inside humor that 3 ppl get, then never tell anyone what the fuck you're talking about.>come away thinking the three people who recognize your reference bc they saw it too are the only ones who "get you">everyone gets that you're a passive-aggressive asipe who has no idea how socializing works outside your own self-absorbed headno one will ever want to bang you doing shit like that anons
>>4487023exactly the point, your parents hate you by the time you're 7, and by middle age you don't give a fuck about the details of your great grandfathers pointless life. No one has any reason to give a fuck about you, if you're living for other people, you might as well end it now bc in 3 quick generations no one will be left alive with any living memory of your existence. You'll be as interesting to humanity as some random shoemaker was in the 1300s.Better find a fucking purpose in life, bc if it's breeding your way to relevancy like a dimwitted suburban housewife, that is absolutely nothing.
>>4487031oh look its the angry liberal, this time telling us why he’s so angry>the grapes are sour anyways and anything people used to do and think is for idiotsHumans are the only thing that is economically and philosophically real. Everything else is made up by humans. Gold has no value. History has no value. Only dynasty even comes close to being true. Cloning yourself to maintain an empire. You only think reproduction is pointless because you have convinced yourself to own nothing and possibly even that ownership is bad. The people who instilled these values in you believe the complete opposite and take reproduction as a form of cloning so seriously that they are highly inbred to the point of having unique genetic disorders and use genital mutilation to differentiate themselves from what they own. And that what, is quite a lot, including you.
>>4487031>theres a massive tribe following the exact words of a long dead patriarch>actually multiple tribes but only one that’s very public about it>huge fucking organizations that are just kids working with the success and philosophy of their father, everywhere>everything that is influential in the world is just the children of some guy, doing business with his wealth and wishes in hand>YOUR KIDS WILL HATE YOU, MAKE IT INTO MEDIA AND DIE CHILDLESS!Mmmmm sureHave as many kids as abraham if you want to be relevant k bb?
