How does /p/ feel about zines?They seem fun. You print your stuff, distribute it however you want, and people look at it. They might toss it in the trash but at least you made an impression.You can make them for pretty cheap. I made some lo-fi DIY-style ones with my visual art at home using just an inkjet printer, and I've been dropping them in random places for people to find.Anyone ever make zines?
>>4482374>And no information for the rest.Then send them RGB. If they're a modern print shop at all worth their salt, they'll know how to best print your RGB on their printer/paper combo.
>>4482374See https://youtube.com/watch?v=8iiUZzfBeMw
>>4482387Oh, nice to know, thanks anon.>The same color can appear slightly different on different media due to the physical composition of the paper.> All files must be sent in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black), with a Fogra 39 color profile.> Any images that are sent in RGB or PANTONE colors will be automatically converted using a standard separation profile.Maybe I'll look for another printing service.
>>4482402Ah, is it offset printing? Are you getting a run that's big enough where that's worth it?Either way, if you can get your hands on that specific profile, you can use it for soft proofing at home, but remember that there's never a guarantee that what you see on your screen will be equivalent to your prints.If don't need so many copies, inkjet printing might be cheaper.
>>4482505>If don't need so many copies, inkjet printing might be cheaper.I was thinking about 100 copies.
Looking for pre-2000s landscape photography calenders. Not having much luck. Anyone seen any around?

If it's wrong, why is it so good?
>>4473816>>4473212>>4473207Who are these retards that don’t put a maximum on iso, I shoot P and it’s great every time , when things are fast put it on S, manual mode is for dorks who want to make things harder for themselves for no reason other than ‘I’m a pro now’. P does better than you

>>4478172Eletronic viewfinder.He's trying to say he's better than you cause he uses a small lens to focus.
For me, it's gotta be Snap Distance Priority Mode. Ricoh Chads rise up!
>>4482474Real Ricoh chads use af-s with the shutter set to snap on full press, rather than dedicated snap mode, for the best of both worlds
Have any of you working/professional anons had any luck becoming a "high end" photographer/videographer? By which I mean, the kind of person who only works with more discerning, high-paying clients?I run a business that does sound and video recording for classical and jazz musicians (there's some photography in there too) and whilst my skills are pretty good, I've realised that I will never make good money or work make truly great recordings until I get better quality clients. It's not just about money, but rather the willingness and ability of these clients to work under the conditions needed to make a good product, whilst also respecting my work enough to actually cooperate.I've realised half of the issue is just price. Doubling prices has helped get rid of the bad clients however the issue with "high-end" clients is that they are usually rich people who do not live in my shitty area and therefore don't know me. I know full well that a facebook ad will not fix this.I haven't been here in a while so pardon me if this is a faggish question to answer, but last time I was here there was a decent number of current or former professionals.
>>4482233Bump
Is anyone else noticing a big drop in engagement on flickr over the last year or 2?I know its dropped alot since its peak, but it feels like its significantly dropped again over the last year or so.
>>4479479>>4481604This sums it up pretty much. The only channels still alive are the ones of influencers who get free shit to review and market their lightroom presets. I think humanity is steering to a new trend of less media intake. Truning off phone notifications, no X, no insta. I believe at some point fine art, laid back galleries, craftmanship gonna thrive again. Not in the sense of getting thousands likes but to showcase you as a person to few selected people that care. Not commercialized, not for the money but out of love and passion. In the end for everyone it's much more fullfilling. It's natural and it's human unlike social media like used in the last decade.
We need to cause some kind of an offline revolution desu. Or a campaign against smartphones at the very least. Make the internet a physical location you visit again.Fuck the Thielites and the megacorpos and what theyre doing to humanity. At this rate we'll be some Eloi pet in a generation or two.

>>4481603>people abusing groups for a certain lens/camera model/topicYep, like when I wanted to look at the K-3 III group’s photos and got blasted with hundreds of pics from some F1 race day or when I looked at the gallery for some PowerShot and it was, literally, all bus pics from some autist in England somewhere. Please learn to share the gallery space.
I like the aesthetics of tobbaco, zippos and leather
i like these too

Your photo must be at least 5 years old. If you are new to photography - share the oldest you got.
>>4481712This is exactly the kind of shot that would have impressed begging me
2013 or 2014>>4479412best pic on /p/ rn
Around 2017 I think
>>4482305Same with this one
>>4482236Where is this
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?
>>4481625hourly rate?
>>4481643$2
>>4481289What’s wrong is you quit looking at photography and got lazy and just looked at social media instead. Social media is worse than tabloid trash, it’s DIY tabloid trash. If all you look at is internet shit bc it’s low effort, being on your fuckin phone, then you will make shit inspired by that shit. If you seek to produce work of a higher caliber, then you must seek out sources of inspiration worthy of publishing. Make the god damned effort to get your ass and your things and get the fuck out of here.But “everyone” I know has told me the future is all internet shit all the time and nothing but internet shit. Only you can choose whether you make that world of shit your entire reality.
>>4481289Because Fauci and Blden wants women and men to not be attracted to each other anymore unless it’s to politicians or billionaires And 80% women are so stupid they fell for it

Let's have a thread on Greg GirardYeah I am thinking he is kino.
>>4474477I thought you were talking about the Herzog railroad company
>>4472540I like the style of these photos, but it seems to me like he also took a whole bunch of not so good ones that he also published for whatever reason so the photos presented here are not representative for his "style" so to speak.. at least that is the impression I've got after I looked at his instagram, but these are cool photos nonetheless and I believe he does something that many contemporary shooters gets wrong and that is to always go for perfect shooting conditions, meaning to never venture outside with a camera once it is either cold, rainy, dark etc.
>>4481714if you were born and raised in kowloon city you'd think that wasnt interesting too. it is your fault.
In a just world he'd be equally as famous but for his documentary panache and not just because bugmen see neon lights and their eyes pop out of their skull
>>4482128I dunno, lots of photographers who grew up in NYC or LA manage to be inspired by their surroundings into adulthood and produce great work there, so I don't think familiarity kills inspiration. When I've travelled to either of those cities I also come back with quality photos. This is the typical street scene in my part of the country. Sure I could do a Todd Hido "homes at night" type of thing but that's really not the direction I'm trying to go in.
incredible photos here. this guy obviously has taste. there’s no way the photos are his, though. they’re too consistently good, too frequently posted, and the style is not consistent. i’d love to know who some of these artists are so that i can see more of their work. i would buy photobooks based on some of these. tineye is usually returning 0 results. interesting. i don’t see any evidence of AI being used. it does not look like AI to me. but i’m also a dummy? i want to know who some of these artists are.
>>4481988Instagram’s low resolution hides AI artifacts. Intentionally.
>>4481988Yeah uh, this is AI mixed with stolen and edited pics and photos of his feet for veracityLook the city, the cats, top left. If your photos aren’t at least 24mp with full color RAW files available as proof you do not do photography. You write prompts. This is the reality of 2025.
>>4481991AI ass fuck
its like if theres 3 personalitiesthe super grainy cliche black and whitesthen the "modern" flash color photosand then theres some random shit street snaps interspersed
>>4481997>snap ladies often.yes
So newest NX Studio is out - with the Film Grain effect added. This will come to the Zf with the next firmware update.What do you think? Picrelated is OOC JPG with Large Grain @ Intensity 3 applied in NX StudioI love it
>>4475281I loved my Zf's and cant wait to get another one. I also shoot with an FA and love the shit out of that like a german shisse fetishist. However I seriosly dislike taking a work that was created in one medium and trying to hide it by making it look like it was made in another medium. If I sold someone a bronze of a sculpture I made but was like, "well actually it's plastic, isn't it amazing though, they got the plastic to look just like bronze!" Everyone would rightly be pissed and I'd be sued & out of a reputation.That said, there are effects we lazily attribute to film such as blurriness of old lenses, poor diffraction halation, light leaks, uncoated lens effects & aging film effects. There is also shooting in fog, gold/blue hour effects, gloomy days, weird light during storms, etc, that could all also be achieved natively by a digital camera with greater or lesser effectiveness, and ideally in proportion to the needs of the image, not the needs of the image to look like it came from another kind of camera. The work of the pictorialists for instance, images like less literally defined and more suggestive, evocative as hell, more like a painting of a mood or hazy memory than a photojournalists need of harsh clarity and grating sharpness. All these effects and more can be accomplished digitally, we have the tools, all the tools, and more tools than anyone could ever have imagined. So why are we led to the photojournalist & documentarians approach to photography? Because it makes us by sharper and sharper lenses? For what? Use the grain effect if you want to. But don't stop there.
>>4476666It's spelled "Scheiße" or "Scheisse", if you lack the Eszett. But why buy two identical bodies? Never understood that
>>4476677>why buy two identical bodies????Oh, bc I said Zf's? Didn't buy them at the same time. Bought one through work, quit, sold it back to company, turned around & bought another, then a while later found out the ZFII wasn't yet coming but a Silver model was, so sold it & am looking fwd to buying that. I hate HATE black gear, and the ZF being black pissed me off from day 1. It was either this or I was going to strip & polish a black one myself eventually, fucking nightmare scenrario that it is.
>>4475319Not one person I've ever sold a picture to cared if it was film or digital...
>>4476534actual pseud detected lmao I own a DF and it feels chintzy as hell expecially compared to dx00 seriesgreat image quality though
I took this photo when i was walking in the streets, after finishing an internship at my university. I think it seems like a liminal space.
>>4482095What is a “liminal space”
>>4482096a space between spaces. a space used to get from one space to another. strictly speaking I think OPs photo qualities. however the meaning of liminal spaces now has been more or less broadened to be a certain style of photography that involves taking slightly unsettling pictures of places normally full of life (strictly defined liminal spaces are often full of life, imagine people passing through a corridor often) that are devoid of any signs of human activity. I like looking at photos with that type of tag as they stir a certain uneasiness and oddly placed nostalgia in me.
lemme see your shots for the moon!this is mine btw captured with canon 2000d 55mm i can not remember my camera settingsi gave it some edit with lightroom this is first time with DSLR

Hello /p/, I want to take photos like picrel but have no experience in photography and no camera, I'm willing to spend up to around €1,000 but would rather cheaper as I am not wealthy, anything in the 400-500 range is a nice amount for me. What camera/specs do I need? Any lenses? I know photography terminology as I've experience with 3dcg and they seem to use the same terms there, as well as a bit of experience in just using the pro mode of my phone camera.
>>4474415The Butlerian Jihad will be developed in caffenol, mark my words AI
>>4461548You need a high red camera like the Sony A7CR, paired with a sharp GM lens. If your subject is trees, leaves, or anything green in general, Sony is the natural choice because of their propensity for beautiful green hues in their jpgs.
>>4474264you need to stay in better hotels nona
>>4474338I'm a Nikon Z (luv me fool frame look) and M43 (luv me portability) shooter myself but you need to take your meds, holy shit
