Photo taken on top of Lovcen mountain in Montenegro
>>4516016I get why you'd want to level, but the only reason for cropping would be if you wanted to turn this into a documentarian photo of some tiles and a gate.
>>4516013Well at least you posted a pic

>>4516117That's tuff
>>4516019>>4516031The problem of photography. Leveling images make them more perfect but takes away the impression that it was captured just in the moment/just as seen but carefully planned and photographed. It will be discussed here endlessly due to the emotional standing people personally have, regardless of whether the photo it is level or not. Either it will be imperfect or a bit boring. No?

itt: post your non-standard color photos. your lomo turquoise, your harman red, your aerochrome, and all the like. I guess if you do weird stuff with your digital sensors that's fine too.shot a roll of kono donau II last weekend, its a blue monochromatic c-41 film rated at ISO 8.
>>4516183None at all, but I would highly recommend getting into alt processes that you think look cool. They are a ton of fun. Are you going to make your contact negatives with a printer?
>>4516184Thanks, wasn't expecting a response so quickly. I'm interested in prints with good dmax and closer to a traditional black/white print in terms of look, which is why I was looking at Kallitype. I would have to make negatives with a printer. I don't own an enlarger, so why contact prints appeal to me as an option for home printing. That and they look great. I don't have a huge space to set up an enlarger and darkroom wash station either. Just an apartment inside bathroom.
>>4516187Totally doable in a small bathroom. I do my conventional contact printing and enlargement prints in a 4x4 tent. It's cramped, but I make it work.My advice is invest in a quality contact printing frame. You want a lot of pressure on your negative and paper or you will get soft images and highlight tonality will suffer. Good brushes are also very nice to have. I forget the name of them, but theres a brand everyone likes to use. Also silver nitrate stains EVERYTHING. I have beakers that I use to move silver nitrate and the outside of them that is completely dried and clean-ish looking will leave black stains on your fingers if you grab them. Stains on clothes are a permanent blackish purple. The stains last for about a week on your skin. Be aware since you're in a rental.Printing digital negatives are really nice for contact printing alt processes because you have so much freedom to fine tune your contrast curve. You can get really attractive images without fussing with calibrating your exposure and development to get enough contrast and density in your film negstive to make a good looking print.
>>4516191Thanks for the info and tips anon. I'll be sure to look into a good frame and brushes. I appreciate the heads up about staining, too. If I make some prints one day, I'll be sure to post them.
>>4516183if you bathe a cyanotype in water with some bleach until the image has almost disappeared you can then toss it into strong coffee/tea or tannic acid to get more of a sepia color, with coffee being the closest to gray for whatever reason (if i got it right the tannines are what gives fruits and plants their color, but i dont get why they all have and make different colors).
Known for his pioneering work in color photography and his effort to document early 20th-century Russia.
>>4505996>>4506000>The lenses had to be in a stack with the center lens on center.if it was taken with three lenses, we'd see way more parallax "CA"but all I've seen is from stuff moving in-frame in different colors, which also implies multiple shots on a single lens>Top left corner roofline is off set in a down/up angle in the top and bottom imagesthe framing offsets in >>4505619 are probably from imperfect alignment when moving the plate between the shots, otherwise the top & bottom images would be offset in opposite directions relative to the center oneso yeah, all evidence points to a setup like Miethe's 1906 >>4505938 on top
>>4511141Thank for your input and I can't argue with the logic.A closer comparison to other three frames would be important.If the declamation in framing observed in the sample I gave is consistently present,I would say no to the theory.You would not move the base the same way each time in other locations for other shots.My description includes your offset angles approach. Center lens straighttop lens 20 degrees downbottom lens 20 degrees up.Odd none of his gear was in any photos. The Mirthe camera seems gigantic and cumbersome. I don't see how you could slide into the next frame regularlywithout a noticeable difference in border framing. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
sovl: the thread. great work op, it was fun going through all these. the two wars took the spirit out of the world is my impression, something like that anyway.

Hi /p/.This month I was attending two anime cons, as "officially approved" photog and I wanted to upload some of the photos I did for opinions and advices. I made similar threads in previous years and they were always very productive so I would like to hear your opinions about these as well. This was also some sort of "test run" for new camera (Nikon Z5 II, replacing D750), most of these shots were made with Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 G2 lens (via FTZ II adapter), only few with telephoto (Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VRII). Also newest version of Darktable, since old ones would not handle the new camera. There is always room for improvement and I genuinely want to get better so any kind of advice, critique or opinion is welcome.If you like, I can also try uploading RAW files for selected photos, on temporary catbox link or similar.
>>4521456>Just go out, shoot something and make a story out of it. All in a manual mode.Forgot: Then do it again using the same motifs.
>>4521458>>4521456Thank you. I guess my problem lies in similar to what other anon said, that good picture should have clearly defined subject and purpose, visible from the start, not just "here is performance, here is stage as background". Unfortunately I cannot reduce depth of field more - each of those photos were made with f/2.8, for lower I would need to use some prime but then I would be very restricted in types of shots to take, due to space limitations and this ability to "zoom with feet" as they say. I don't understand however suggestion to get away from using autofocus - why exactly? I won't be able to catch moving subjects precisely using just viewfinder and manual adjustments.As for available angles/spots, the situation overall was like on this pic - concert had smaller audience (or rather, more audience was gathered at longer distance, probably due to REALLY loud music - I was initially used those earplugs, quickly borrowed one of those safely noise-cancelling earmuffs and could still hear clearly) so I could move more freely but idols or cosplay/talent competitions had lots of people either standing or sitting somewhere around that safely net, leaving only this area under the stage to move around. So I could either crouch near the middle (with very high angle and requiring short focal length) or gradually straighten up while moving to the side (not completely at the side since gear, speakers and other stuff were blocking view). Next month's con will have even less space to move around, basically zero - stage itself won't be elevated but audience will, since it's typical theatre stage. Yet last year photogs were sitting right near, closely packed.Thanks again for opinion and suggestions. I don't really have other people than /p/ to show and rate photos I take.
>>4521535You do not have any problem imo. It's just skill aqure. Automode is camera decides, manual the opposite, your chouce. f2.8 consider a bigger lens, shooting from the pit a tele. Cheap one is ok. Askung for a ladder is free. give it a try.
>>4520872The clinical nature of your photos makes the subjects look ugly. Because they're nerds. I've had this issue at anime cons in the past. Took some very cool pictures but used my modern glass and mirrorless bodies, which did nothing to help the nerds in them. I always wish I'd bring my film setups but don't feel like spending the money on film for cons.
>>4521885So, you suggest intentionally introducing "flaws" to pictures to add some atmosphere? I admit I was using extra sharpening options with some of them but maybe I should go the opposite.>>4521865I guess that's an option but it would mean giving up close shots from under the stage. Ladder won't make it, safely regulations are quite strict.
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?
>>4514256Cool stuff Anon. Looks great.
Just bunch of snapshits on laser printer with two stickers on pocket thermal printer, it's fun to make random throwaway album someone might look at. Will try to make bunch of postcard sized darkroom prints and stitch them together into zine next.
>>4517770Hell yeah man, looks neat. I need to invest in a decent printer for home use, I'm tired of waiting nearly a month between ordering something and it arriving.
>>4518392Basic PiXMA will do the job if you don't print large batches. But also just look around libraries for colour laser printer, it's perfectly acceptable for zine to be lofi like that.
Finally here (I've had it for a few weeks actually but haven't had the chance to post), vol 2!>>4516520Ty>>4501039Ty>>4501063All the vol 1 booklets I gave to the potshop down the way have been taken by patrons, but I still have a couple of copies at home. Volume 2 is there now though! I've been thinking that once I finish volume 3 (hopefully before the end of fall...) I'll get a P.O. Box and use it for zine/photo booklet exchanges because that seems like it'd be neat.
As someone who has decided to live without the distractions of a smartphone, can you recommend me 2 cameras?>1 camera suitable for everyday carry (pic related, it's my old camera from the time before smartphones I just dug up, I want to go back to that "simpler" time), recommend me the best there is available today>1 professional style camera, I'm considering strongly the Canon EOS R6 Mark III, not sure which lens to get, looking for a lens that is multipurpose so I can just get one initially
sure thing anon sony rx100 mk 1 and canon r8 i do not own either
>>4517381The ones you feel like using
>>4517381>1 camera suitable for everyday carryRicoh GR II through IV depending on how rich you are.>1 professional style camera, I'm considering strongly the Canon EOS R6 Mark IIIThat's fine. I prefer Nikon but Canon is great too.
>>4517381A tough P&S. TG-7 or whatever. Rationale: While it's not "the best" in small format image quality, a tough is lintproof so it can be actually pocketed. And it can go where a phone or a fancier camera can't.Whatever modern body you fancy + a journalistic zoom for it. All major brands are good enough the weak link is the photographer.
Would you consider keeping a smartphone on you for pictures? Keep the data off so it's not distracting.
When you export to JPEG, what quality settings do you use? I'm having a hard time deciding whether I want to use Quality 80 in NX Studio and end up with some of my 24MP images being over 10MB, or drop down to Quality 70 which seems to reduce the size by about 40%. It doesn't help that JPEG quality seems to have no bearing between programs, Quality 70 in NX Studio seems to be similar to Quality 90 in basic editing software like Pixelmator. Using the same settings for all my exports though, some pics just come out to tiny file sizes, which feels wrong for the image size in pixels. Take pic related, this is Quality 70.
>>4520354anon only gets into 16bit printing with xps inkjet driver?
>>4521105anon wanna have a go with globcover 2009 tiff with your pc wish you luck
>>4521105Yes, oversampling is real. Same as it is commonly done for video.>>4521144>just configure your camera to give you good picture that you don't have to editWhy do you think professionals shoot RAW + edit instead?
>>4521717because more control.also I never said not to shoot raw, I shoot raw.
>>4521123If the photo is actually valuable, your descendants will have more fun with the raw, trying to guess what the final result should be. Post-edit tiffs are boring.

>>4521299>btw im conventionally attractive and have constant companionshipDoes he? It seems his bitch cheats on him and everyone starts to hate him.
No.I hated that blurry BLOTCHY MESS back then and I still hate it with a passion now. There was a time when shitty or simply old digital camera sensors put out grainy as fuck images. That was fine, it was just their direct output. Shit went so fucking disgusting when they introduced noise reduction that never fucking worked (it still doesn't but they fake it with AI now to make it more believable).At least get yourself cameras that let you save the raw output. Noise is fine, the blurry color blobs are not.
Took this one with my PSP using the PSP-450 camera attachment, a really long time ago.
Um hi /p/I was trying to do photography up until 2017, but the life got sucked out of me and I stopped enjoying it.I never really got anyone to view/like my photos online, maybe like a like here or there, but I never got any sort of 'mass approval' which I actually seek.How do you do it?I have the equipment, but where do I start online?1.

>>4520702Stop seeking approval. Take photos for yourself.
>>4520707anon-san… you’re not a… CHUD??? are you…. b-baka!
>>4520702i love the colors in this photo
it’s so peak the best mode for street
>>4521160maybe it depends on the camera but as soon as there is sky or contrast in the shot auto iso fucks up spectacularly. less of a auto iso issue more metering.I don't like autoiso for the same reason I don't like any modes other than manual. they change things based in metering and metering is dumb.in no situations ever have I though "ah yes, middle gray, my focus point!"no bitch I don't want my highlights gray or shadows gray. maybe it works well when you're shooting portraits and point meter in the face or something.
>>4521171Lemme guess, snoy, olympus, panasonic?The metering on my 5dIV is magic. It never missed.

For the past couple of years I have been practicing photography with "circuit bent" cameras I have built. I am gonna share a few pictures, give some explanations as to the hows, and hopefully inspire some people to pick up this form of photography.Just a disclaimer here, I haven't edited these photos at all besides maybe cropping them. These are how to the photos come out of the camera.
>>4521397I am not sure which shot of the boat I like more to be honest
Some dumpsters near where I parked lmao. I like what the camera did with the reflections and telephone pole standing out from the shadowed back of the building.
>>4521402Perhaps this crop is better.
>>4506636You should enter this one into a competition. Great stuff all around!
>>4513997Keeping it sideways but with a tighter crop I think suits this one well.
