With UWA you have to be at the spot and everything should look kino, you can't just select something and compose for it because as was said everything is in the shot. I found that UWA makes things look tiny especially big mountains so it was much better for foreground objects composed with whatever is in the background. it makes the scene look meh, even spectacular ones so you better select a flower or a rock or bench, something to put in front of the scenery.

Cinematography lens meant for wide-angle interiors and exteriors are very different animals than ones meant for film photography or digital slrs.

>>4496645
i think it depends on the creative direction you are going for.
>>
Wide angle captures a wide view of the scene.
Whether that's something you want is subject to change but that's why lenses can be swapped.
If you're indecisive you get a zoom lens.

Walking doesn't zoom, it just changes perspective.

You'll start at the bottom and the bottom in my mind is real estate photography. Talk to some real estate agents in your area and ask about who they hire, as they likely hire a small local company, then just talk to that company about getting a job. You will make shit pay and shit hours because you're basically a peon but it's a foot in the door.

Hello /p/ I've been lurking for years and have been taking snapshits/gradually improving over time. I got some practice on my dad's Canon cameras (one digital, one film). I only have my phone camera, a go pro (hero 12?), and an ilford sprite 35mm film camera. Most of my film rolls were shot on my dad's canon film camera though.
I think it's time I bite the bullet and buy a full frame (maybe mirrorless). I'm pretty sure I want to go with digital, even though film is fun.
Any recommendations? I can give more info if needed. My film shots are different from my usual shots on my phone, I have a pretty varied subject/frame honestly.

I can safely vouch for the 5Diii by Canon. I used it for years and will probably use it for years to come.
Is resolution important to you? You mentioned mirrorless twice, are you looking for something specific that only newer bodies offer? Like IBIS = sensor stabilisation, or higher resolution sensors, or better low light performance?

>>
>>4504831 >>4504832
Resolution isn't insanely important to me, but I would like something that looks nice. The only reason I mentioned mirrorless is because it's newer tech, so the lenses I buy for mirrorless will be useful for longer (I know you can use DSLR lenses on mirroess with an adapter, so maybe this is a moot point)

We used to have monthly challenge threads (as a week is honestly too short) but the OP left after a few years of running them. They were honestly pretty good, but some of the challenges were also a bit too difficult for enough people to compete in, so that lessened how many people contributed.
>>
>>4504780
I also think that having it monthly might've been a bit too ambitious.
>>
>>4504789
It's a hard balance. I think monthly can work, but the theme has to be something that anyone can realistically do, like finding certain colors on buildings or certain shapes or something.

>>4504790
I think it's a bit like the world hockey cup vs the Olympic hockey cup. If it's less frequent, it will be a bigger event and more people will bother to participate.

That could work, maybe one every 3 months. 4 times a year is an alright span for some contests imo.

We know that original Kodachrome isnt coming back due to the toxic chemicals used in developing rolls, but why arent Kodak or any other film manufacturer creating a new film stock that looks like Kodachrome? Is it really impossible to create other film stocks than these hazy yellow tinted pissy stocks available now?

Ektar is way too red, Portra and Gold too yellow, Ektachrome too blue and so forth.

Deep black shadows, punchy reds and yellows, good contrast, perfect blues, lots of black in all colors. No weird general color tint.

If a Kodachrome copy was launched it would be a fucking goldmine $$ for Kodak or whomever launched it.

Aside from the "art" (most are obviously photoshopped and have minimal use of AI) this has to be the most pathetic live money laundering event of rich trust fund baby millenials and gen-z I have ever seen.
So you just have me believe these are average people interested in photography? Most of these contenders come from 3rd world nations and can purchase high level equipment and have the free time and leisure to do so. If anything these are the upper class of India, Russia, South Africa, Argentina etc.
Either way you can see the host just wants to wrap things up from the very beginning. What ever those ladies (in black dresses handing out the awards) behind the scenes are doing is beyond me. When leaving the stage they always need to scratch their butts. Even they dont care for the award winners and dont even give these trust fund babies a glance when handing over the award, which is funny.
In regards to skill set, there are truly nice and lovely photos being presented. Some of which would make me happy having them in my portfolio. Others... seems like random images I can find on some tourists smartphone.

Question to /p/:
Could you do better?
Which categories would you excel at?
What happened to /p/ weekly or monthly contest?
Why dont we try to get an image from /p/ to the upcoming Siena Awards?

I've mostly just got snapshits from the local park, nothing really worth posting. I'll have to play around with it some more and try to take some proper pictures. I think under the right conditions and with a bit of editing you can squeeze a certain look out of the camera that might be half-way decent.

I actually picked up a cardboard one for 4 euros, cleaned the lenses and glued the mirrors back in place. Fun to use but the cardboard was bending inwards making it near impossible to open and it wasn't very happy with the 120 film spool either.
I still need to develop the film but I got a better box camera for 10 euros in the meantime, one that actually works well with 120 film, a Zeiss Ikon one.
Will probably get some developer tomorrow and get those negatives ready.

With Brownies and other really low end 6x9cm 120 cameras think contact prints (or perhaps a phone screen). A 32" desktop screen does not give justice to the photos.

Got a new job and will have expendable income. I've got lots of K-mount Pentax lenses which I like...
But should I stop being a Pentax autist? Or is the K-mount ecosystem good to stay in?
I've narrowed it down to:
>Pentax K‑3 Mark III
>Pentax KF
>Pentax K‑1 Mark II (Full Frame)
I'd also like to swap out my Pentax SF7 with a better body:
>Pentax MZ‑S
>Pentax Spotmatic
>Pentax ESII
Decisions, decisions....
