Spring editionAll video related questions and discussion is intended for this thread. Here we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras, and larger) and have interchangeable lenses.In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.>STICKY - https://text.is/QZ1J>Helpful guide, additional books and more in-depth FAQs - https://web.archive.org/web/20200926115310/https://pastebin.com/kG0gRmTZ>NO ONE CARES WHAT AN EXPERT YOU THINK YOU ARE.

Saw this at a bar. No one watched it and it was used for background music. Videography looks decent and on an expensive camera. Goes to show that story and captivating an audience is most important in filmmaking.

Posting kino by photographer, Diane Arbus.
these photos feel weirdly predatorylike oooooh you look lower class I will capture you I guess she was doing it to make money but the "look at all the circus freaks" vibe just feels exploitative and grossI guess the stated goal here is "capturing candid reality" but it feels more like mocking those who are different.
>>4513350It’s degenerate AND they wanted big bucks, and thus took the shortest path which isnt exactly deeply thoughtful shit. Its like photography had a marvel/dc film moment. >wait, the works of art make less money than the simplistic childish novelty? and all we have to do is heap some postmodern nonsense on later? WELL THEN *unzips leica*
>>4513352It's like you know nothing.
>>4513338>Butthurt copeStart arguing anytime lil bro>>4513352The feeling you mention is derogatory called "misery porn", the consumption of someone else's dog days so you can feel something.
>>4513631I'm not arguing with you, I'm making fun of you
I don't want to buy a new flagship every two years. I just want to have a nice pocket camera and keep my midrange for a while. My old olympus pocket camera lasted for almost a decade. Preferably nothing more expensive than $700
>>4491769Of course, a GR-series camera would be excellent for OP, but it won’t cost him $700 or less. Maybe a GR1? If that’s the 16MP one, I just found a listing for one… $899… let alone the ones you’ve mentioned.
>>4505788>$899 for a gen 1even the gen 2 and 3 are getting around for that much or less
>>4489617any
Isn't there those new(ish) digital cameras that looks like candy bars?

>The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust has raised concerns over what it describes as the unauthorised use of Ansel Adams’s name and work in an “AI-generated colour version” of his iconic photograph shot in 1942 Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, which was recently exhibited and offered for sale at a major international photography fair.>In a statement, the Trust said the work “exploited Ansel’s name, reputation, and his most iconic image, while failing to identify any human artist responsible for its creation. The Trust did not authorise, endorse, consent to, or acquiesce in the ‘AI-generated colour version’ of ‘Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico’ exhibited and offered for sale by Danziger Gallery at The Photography Show presented by AIPAD in April. The Trust was not consulted or notified before the work appeared. Once alerted, we reached out to James Danziger in real time, notifying him of the Trust’s rights, and asking for the work to be removed. Correspondence shared with the Trust shows that, despite our formal notice, Mr. Danziger subsequently leveraged Ansel’s name, ‘Moonrise,’ and the AIPAD presentation while pursuing a proposed commercial AI colourisation venture involving other artists’ estates.”>James Danziger made a response on the Danziger website to Ansel Adams Trust's condemnation by not only mentioning that the image is technically in the public domain, but also wrote: "As for the print itself, while A.I. served as the starting point, the final image involved extensive human intervention, editing, proofing, and refinement over many months."
>>4513117your shitposting sucks
>>4513113Worst photo I've seen on this board yet, is this why Ken is a meme? t. /p/ newfag
>>4512754Nice to see a bit of color in it, the original is so dark and depressing
>>4512754Some absolute tech nerd was the first person to pour all art into an AI model. IT fucking sucks that tech dorks absolutely desecrate art and music to enrich themselves. I'd like to choke each one of them death in a row
>>4512754Not only is the gallery owner using AI to copy Angel Adam's, he's profiting for himself and not paying any artists, fuck that guy. and then he's also lying about spending months on it, what a joke. Just Trump / Indian levels of shamelessness and venality
This image was taken at the same thrift store I’ve taken pictures at before. The back of the store returned a “Kids Place” area and I felt it had a very empty and nostalgic feel
Hey bro, when you've got a series of pictures, better to put them into a single thread. Or if it's not a large number of pics, consider even just putting them in /rpt/ or some other related general.Cool spot. I don't think it's (presented as) expansive enough for me to get the "liminal" vibe. But I'm sure there's good shots lurking in there somewhere.
Haven't posted in a while.Leica M3 + Nokton 50mm f/1.5 II + Tri-X. Self scan.

>>4513856Who’s this we? You know most people have good peripheral vision right?>>4513981You have zero theory of mind and a vision disorderThese are cubist, its an art circlejerk thing. He did this on purpose not because he had busted eyes and saw things like this. That’s what makes it art. The conscious decision to participate in some culture (however retarded and ivory towered it is).
>>4513848unc TS is NOT tuff bro
Skrrrt
Hockney is based bruh But I wish his subject were as strong as his style
Where the fuck did everyone go?
>>4513069If you look in the archives there are people shitting on and intensely trolling the m43 thread all the way back in 2015.
>>4507583Everyone who disagrees with me killed /p/ and I will always angrily respond to any of their posts and derail threads because I don't like their opinions and their SNAPSHITS SUCK SO BAD!
>>4513072that's based though. the latest micro four turds those guys love doesnt even have a mechanical shutter.
Numbers spiked due to covid. They're just returning to their pre-covid levels.
>>4513074Theres a huge chance their snapshits do suck so bad and they’re such a fag they always take the bait. It takes a really stupid faggot to be trolled and trolls can’t live without a steady diet of faggots. Shitposters are 4chans immune system.
I saw online the 0.03 megapixel camera and was kinda curious so i snapped a few pics and modified them in gimp to reach a similar effect, including the resolution.I honestly having quite a bit of fun with these and i'm enjoying the results quite much
>>4512431ongoing thread about circuit bending:>>4506230
>>4512470Toy cameras have "character", up to you if a still from a budget crashcam is "good". Plenty in that range at ChinkExpress, including shipping. At least for EU, dunno about Tariffstan.Search Ali for G6 Thumb Camera or toy camera, and make sure whatever you find can take photos instead squirting water or whatever...
>>4501954>>4501868how do you dither like this?
Sorta Tried it myself, tried to find a pic that still has details that are still prominent in a lower res
>>4513225"Dither" tool in GIMP, its in the Color section. It being on analog maybe helps as it already came with its own grain.
Sydney on Six Rolls of FilmPresented Chronologically &Shot during Vivid Sydney,By ANONYMOUS &Feat. ANONYMOUSPreviously: >>4511327 >Room 109
>>4513752YEAH I had the UV filter on and I meant to take it off before every shot and put it back on after but I obviously forgot 99% of the time. Is that why the blacks look weird? I was probably too concerned with protecting the front element of the lens. I need a lens cap instead.
pretty based thread you have here anon, thanks>>4513753weird blacks are likely caused by scanningor underexposure and scanningdid you shoot handheld at night?
>>4513764>did you shoot handheld at night?nah, tripod. I did underexpose one stop from what the meter said, hoping to preserve more highlight detail because they bloom so much. still, I thought it could be the scans and the lab tech said she adjusted the "density" on some because they looked overexposed. she didn't imply I'd done anything wrong in camera but I can't rule that out, either. there's a lot of decisions in development and scanning I'm not privy to because I'm paying someone else to do it... kinda sucks. she said next time I could ask for flat scans and adjust the black point myself.
>>4513753I don't think the UV filter should do anything, you can usually just leave it on.I was asking about filtration just because I noticed the color temperature of the lamps was fairly warm and I figured Sydney would have already gone full globohomo and put up white LEDs everywhere. I also noticed the lights in the windows in the buildings in the background also have a very warm tone to them, but normally lighting in buildings like that is fluorescent (shows up kind of greenish on film) or these days maybe lots of (white) LEDs.I think it looks nice. Does it look that warm in real life? I hate white lighting and it would be nice to visit somewhere that has warm lighting everywhere.>I need a lens cap instead.yeah, they're like $3 for a generic one, just get one.
>>4513916that’s a good question actually I don’t have any reference photos from another cameraand it was a bit hard to tell by looking at photos of circular quay at night onlineI did find this document online which seems to say heritage areas are to be lit with warm 3000k lightingI didn’t find anything official but Wikipedia describes circular quay as a heritage area, so those lights around it probably really are as warm as they seem
PCW - Precision Camera Works is looking to take on apprecntice(s). One of the few places that does service on Xpan, Noblex and Mamiya.The guy is retired, but still takes on repairs. He's pretty swamped and works slow. Sent my camera there last year, just now it was shipped back.Anyone in Austin, Texas interested in taking this on? Imagine the wealth of parts and knowledge he has,
it’s so peak the best mode for street
>>4513326Btw I'm on my second digital camera body. Bought my first one back in 2008 and second in 2016. I think I may buy one this year too! Consoooom or what ever :D
>>4513328Wow your mom let you buy a camera when you were 8?
>>4513317>why even get mad and reply?Why do you all the time?
>>4513344oh look a nikek that thinks everyone who says nikon sucks is one guy>shill nikon on /p/ for months>now /p/ says nikon sucks>HOW?(Its cuz nikon sucks)
>>4513254It's called Programmed Auto which makes sense. You can also do something like locking the ISO, so in that circumstance adjusting the wheel will change the shutter and aperture to get correct exposure.
Some people say that to get rich you gotta do what others don't wanna do. For a photographer it means going to a warzone. What are some other fields in photography that can make you rich and famous but you just hate doing it?
Let's keep digging into the subject of making money, talking about tactics. I keep offering my services to friends and acquaintances. Over the last year, I've done a couple of product photography sessions here (including my own business), a few passport headshots there, I negotiated a contract with a local boutique to photograph all of their clothing in prep for a Shopify launch, and finally this thread has motivated me to take a crack at real estate photography. At what point does one consider an LLC along with branding, website, etc? Maybe a simple portfolio website and a business card is enough for a side-hustle scale photography operation.
>>4512944>this thread has motivated me to take a crack at real estate photography. Anon, don't. It's literally a step down from everything you've been doing and will pay the least of anything else you've done. You would be going backwards since you're supposed to start in real estate photography.>Maybe a simple portfolio website and a business card is enough for a side-hustle scale photography operation.Agents only hire small companies that have a few employees and they usually have a monopoly on that 200 mile radius. There are just 3 real estate photography companies in my city and every real estate agent within 200 miles is served by just those three companies and their employees, they don't bother with anyone else and especially won't touch just an individual.If you really want to do it, you'll need to be hired by one of those companies and you won't get to pick your hours or days, they tell you when and where to go and you just do it. None of them have central offices you go to so everyone is just based at home and drives from home to the property they're going to be working, which makes it easy to have employees across the whole state since they just choose whoever is closest to the property.
>>4512956Interesting. Thanks for that perspective. I suppose even if it is regarded as a step down, I still need cash. It just seems like reliable, steady income. I'll reassess.
>>4513055I'm not sure where you are, but in my neck of the woods the real estate market has been slowly tapering off for the past 2 years. Houses now sit unsold for months, and fewer people are moving because they don't want to get out of low rate mortgages from 5 years ago for today's higher mortgage rates.
>>4513055> It just seems like reliable, steady income.Again, only if you were with a company. You cannot do this gig as an independent. If extra money and having your own schedule is important to you, this job is not for you. The way this works is that they want people that are ready anytime on any day to go get the photos done, as the way agents work is getting a house on the market ASAP. A lot of them will hound you within hours after the shoot to get the photos edited and online immediately, sometimes even on the shoot you'll get a call saying "Is it done yet? These photos need to be up by noon" and you'll probably still have another few houses after that one you're currently standing in. It's fast paced, awful pay and each agent will get pissed off that they're not your #1 priority.Rain and snow is also a pain because it means you still do the interior and then have to come back again later to do the exterior when weather conditions improve.>>4513064This guy also brings up a good point. Something of note too is that some agents are lazy and will re-use previous photos for listings, so unless a house has changed a lot, they just recycle the old listing photos. What I mentioned above plays into that too, the market is so fucky now that they want to get listings online immediately since every second it isn't is a potential lost sale.
Theme: RainAll submissions must feature rain/rainy weather or an effect caused by rain.All photos must be taken during the current challenge month. No old or archived shots.And as always be creative and enjoy the process. Unique perspectives are encouraged!Previous thread: >>4504732

How would awinner be determined in one of these challenges? Is there way to vote cause I don't see a way to do it unless OP decides for himself
Ah I forgot to post, hope I still made it
Thought the sky looked really beautiful and haunting so I took this photo with my phone. An hour later the thunderstorm arrived.
>>4506823Clouds belong in the sky, not on the ground you chud. What the hell did you do? You're going to kill us all.
>>4503753
Sunsets can be great. I also have a couple of sunset sky shots I like.
