Have you ever gotten a strong emotional response after viewing a specific phot, like you would in a movie ? Or maybe going to an exhibition or reading a book ? Or is photography just "pretty cool" at best ?Pic related is the first response I got when searching " best art photography ever" online. While it's really good and impressive, I can't really say it makes me feel anything in my gut.Post pics that make you feel something, inspiring photographers/books etc.
>>4468813> To me your problem is the lack of punishments for bad behaviours.Doesn't really work like that though. Some countries have very harsh punishment and low crime rate, high punishment high crime rate (see France with drugs), low punishment low crime rate and low punishment high crime rate. The harshness of punishment isn't correlated to the amount of crime commited.Also you fail to take into account the fact that Paris is 2 times more populated then Taipei, plus all the tourists, Paris being one of the most visited cities in the world with London. It already attracts all kinds of people, but you also need to consider all the people who came to France because (one way or the other) of colonization. I think it's a small price to pay for all the atrocities France did for centuries.Beyond that on the subject of stealing, it's mostly a cultural thing I think. People in Europe just consider that things left in the wild just belong to everyone. You just don't live things outside. Even if you go to some random village in the countryside with less then <1000hab. if you live your shit out it will get stolen. My headcanon is that a lot of people are just cleptomanic, even if they don't need the money they take it. Also I visited Taipei a few months back and I found it really nice
>>4468860>high punishment high crime rate>like France Yeah you have no idea what you are talking about you should stop I'm not reading past that. You are probably a stupid brownie that thinks France deserved it because of colonisation or some retarded take like that
>>4468831He was ahead of the curve, that's why he got so much hate.
Found this cool picture by Cartier-Bresson of an american soldier returning to his mom. This one does it for me and I think it would be a good conclusion to this thread, hopefully
Yes, it's art. I'm not a photographer, I'm a drawing artist, but I come here for inspiration.Anybody can take a picture, just like anybody can doodle. The hard part is perfecting your craft and having a compelling/unique vision that makes you a recognizable artist.

>>4472585This is counterintuitive to me, because in real life, greenery is very nice.
>>4472601Its a digislug problem. CFAs garble greenery into an indistinct mess. You can chase megapixels and lens sharpness forever and it will never look quite as good as you saw it until you’re up to a $50k phase one trichromatic back or doing trichromes with a 50mp+ monochrome sensor. It’s a technological limitation of digital tries to register color and detail at the same time. Foveon is a noticeable improvement as is pixel shift if somehow nothing moves, not even atmospheric distortion… which never happens. On film, greenery looks amazing.

>>4470808Ummmm kino
>>4470815I would have taken a step back so the traktor isn't cut off, but even then, the composition isn't that interesting. I would have walked around a bit to find a different angle and just not taken the photo if I couldn't find a good one.>>4470816>>4470817Is this a 50mm lens? Look at how you're tilting the camera down ever so slightly, so the vertical lines aren't vertical. Very common issue in the 35-60mm range because you're very close to a standard fov, so the subtle up or down perspective just looks weird and wrong. If the tilt is obvious and pronounced like looking up at a skyscraper with a wide angle lens, then your brain can kind of categorise it as looking up or looking down. If it's almost straight but not quite, then it just looks off>>4470818Nice subject and angle but the perspective a bit wonky again and the shot is too tight. Was there something at the edge of the frame that you wanted to exclude to get more of a clean shot? I wouldn't be so scared to include some uninteresting shit at the fringes if that's the only way to give my main subject some space. Also the colour in the sky is hella weird, start using presets or film sims, or better yet, just shoot film
>I need a camera bag>search "camera backpack">234,484+ different bags to choose from. Why is like this with fucking bags?
>>4459085wtf how did you get this picture of me
>>4468438
I'm sick of sling bags over the shoulder, so I'm thinking of getting the Spider Holster for when I want the camera accessible.Or a waist bag like the Mountainsmith Tour Lumbar Pack when walking around. On the picture, the straps are optional if you're carrying less than 10lbs.All the popular bag brands, Peak Design, Wandrd, Wotancraft, have sling bags that could easily convert to waist bag. Sling bag is the current youthful fashion. I think waist carry will make a comeback, per the usual two-decade cycle.
camera cubes are legit the stupidest idea i've ever seenif i'm bringing a "camera bag" i don't want to have to fish a smaller compartment out of my pack, unzip that cube somewhere stable, and only then do i get to my polar filter or a microfiber wipeif i'm carrying a "camera" bag, it needs to provide me with access to what i need, when i need it
>>4468105You think you don't need a blower because you don't do anything interesting enough to warrant it. Try getting a piece of lint visible past f/4 on your sensor after a lens swap on top of a mountain. Oh wait, that'll never happen to you, because you only shoot building corners with your one lens. You could've just bought a compact but you're a LARPing hipster faggot who needed a Zf.

What is it with people that shoot on film?Film is expensive to film, develop and scan.Yet what do they do? They film the most mundane bullshit.Traffic lights. Or some mediocre bullshit to some obscure indie song.Why do they all do this?If you're gonna spend hundreds of dollars. Atleast film something good. But it's like they think the vintage aesthetic will make their shit good.It's like they just want to see what their mundane boring life would look like on film.
>>4473071No fun allowed. Making art is very serious business.
>>4473071>some bed-wetting teenie-bopper on a Malaysian post card exchange forum old enough to be my kid must certainly know more than me about film. /sthat is not the gotcha that you think it is man
>>4473071Reminding people your age only highlights how much of an underachiever you are.
>>4473071>Im old so Im right You're in cognitive decline since your late 20s and your judgement is clouded by nostalgiaIm in my 30s and I much preffer to listen to what younger full of life people have to say than people my age or older, all my friends are delusional nostalgia faggots that cant form novel opinions or experience new things and they are probably way younger than you are, thats a depressing thought Young people are not perfect, they lack experience and confidence but at least their brains still work.Be more humble
>>4473082>it's invalid because i said so!You have some growing up to do.
It's pretty good

>>4473120You were saying?
got an iphone 13 last year after having pure ass so i've been trying to take more photos. makes me wanna get a decent rig
>>4473091Was it like a reward? I thought zoomers loved eating ass for some reason...
>>4473092love eating ass don't get me wrong but it gets boring after time. thats why i got into /p/hotography
been eying the 13 pro, but it's still a little too much for me
>>4473094got mine second hand, if i didn't need a phone i would've just got a camera. just not worth it
>>447309413pro is still a great phone, I think nothing Apple has made since has matched it in battery life. Would still be rocking mine if I didn’t shatter it into pieces
What is HDR in files? Can I export any RAWs as HDR in RawTherapee? Or do I need a special camera that captures extra data in the RAW? Do you use this?
>me, creating HDR raws out of three raws with different exposure
>>4466694And only apple products support it properlyAnd no one fucking cares because a proper 16 bit raw to 8 bit srgb jpeg conversion produces a good looking image just like 14+ stop DR film always produces good 8 stop DR prints
>>4466704>me, creating HDR raws out of five exposure brackets, each a pixel shifted raw comprised of 16 Bayesian filter crushing raws.>which I will show to no one bc fuck everyone>and then accidentally delete when moving data around between different ssd’s>ahhh to be a photographer
>>4466625>>4466694>>4466503It goes "beyond white" relative to SDR. Obviously HDR has a signal value of 0.00 to 1.00, just like SDR, but whereas SDR's "comfortable white" is the max value of 1.00, most people will place their Comfortable White, aka the SDR White, at around 200 nits, out of a spec maximum of 10,000 nits. Thus, the headroom to go "beyond white".
>>4466284>16bit improves color rangeWhat kind of nigger says this?
went out to take some photos
>>4472331>grey slopbased and underexposedlearn to meter
>>4472713i think thatt it almost looks like a cartoon or print someone has made rather than a photo. it's got a kinda simplistic feeling.also the ultrawide crop makes it look like a desktop backgroundare you the bird guy that likes to take pics of seagulls from /rpt/?
>>4472785Nah, I'm just a random guy. Saw a blank bird face and a blank grey sky and thought they could work together nicely.>also the ultrawide crop makes it look like a desktop backgroundOr could be printed as a bookmark.
Thanks for sharing, anon. I enjoyed the photos.

>>4459371let's see your photos
>>4458951The trick is to pretend to take a photo of something else and they happen to walk in frame. Then they have to apologise

Lately I have seen a lot of studios offering this kind of service now. It looks a good way to make some extra money. People use different kinds of setups and I'm trying to figure it out the best one for a better result. So far, I think a macro flash is the best option. Also, after the photo of the eye is taken, an intense photoshop edit is required to clean up the eye and ingest it in a template to achieve the final picture as this one. What are your thoughts about it? Let's talk.
>>4472270I'm sorry your thread got derailed by pseuds and racist trolls OP; I don't have any experience with iris photography but I do think they're cool pictures. I assume you're editing them to have a consistent dilation? do you ever include the pupil too?
>>4472400You would know about dilation, triggered troon tard.
>>4472270>servicewhat service is this, exactly?
>>4472406MI6 probably
Anybody got that image, of a firework reflecting off the iris of a woman. I tried the net, found only AI slop. I remember seeing it on 4chan /p/. It was shot at about 45 degrees to the left, and the background was a cool blue, like what you see in evening or early morn. It was zoomed in, so only the eyes and a bit of background was visible.
Holy hell those fuckers get greedy. This GX8 has its forward dial missing yet MPB says "it's ok, just buy it goy".Private used market (classifieds, ebay) doesnt look much better. they want hundreds of Euros for essentially trash. all the Lumix GX9 around here are like 800 euros. WTF dudes. many times classifieds are even more expensive than MPB (where you get 12months of warranty lol)and dont get me started on fuji prices lol. i'm not even looking anymore at those anymore.fucking camera market I swear. you write the seller and ask them for a proper price and they block you because "only sincere offers" then you look and their shitty 10yo cam is still listed as unsold months later because who's going to spend 1k on a shitty 10yo m43 cam with a kit lens lol?i hate boomers its unreal
>>4472902Thanks for your concession :DGood luck impressing girls that can't even stand to look at you :D
>>4472911Yes. You think lawyers wear suits because they’re comfortable or so they can look more like lawyers?Image mattersImage matters more than ability. This is an actual fact. >>4472913Projection
>>4472915>Yes. You think lawyers wear suits because they’re comfortable or so they can look more like lawyers?>Image matters>Image matters more than ability. This is an actual fact.Not only is this not true, its not even relevant to the post you replied to. It's a totally unrelated cope. You think you have ability but you refuse participate in the appearance aspect. But the truth is you just have no ability to do.
>>4469311You Schizo's did it. Used Sony and Fuji gear is finally beginning to come down in price. New Fuji cameras are finally back in stock at major retailers. Thank you schizo anons. Keep preaching the word. Snoy is green! Fuji is a meme!
I bought an X-T2 in 2021 for way, WAY less than the cheapest option available many years later.
largeformat chads, monorail users specifically, what is your tripod setup? I have a chunky set of legs, and currently i've just been bolting it straight to the monorail which works, but as you can imagine is limiting in terms of any sort of adjustments, outside of fiddling with the legs. I guess, what heads have you found work for your big chunky cameras? Looking at one of picrel but i don't want to buy a dud.
>>4472010Op here I basically kinda felt the same but anons provided some good suggestions, basically it sounds like you just want a 3 way so get the 3 way. I’m gonna look on eBay like that other anon suggested
I've got a great head (2 way old manfrotto with hex platform). Problem is my tripod, also manfrotto. Bought it from some video guy out in the suburbs. One leg won't properly lock, the supports' inside-beam ball locks are shot. Can someone recommend me a good tripod, just the tripod? I'm a Canacuck so it has to be something like a reliable model that is plentiful used. My budget is very small.
>>4472194Used gitzo carbon like in pic>>4472142They're absolutely rock solid.
>>4472194>>4472203Also canacuck here, we have benro at my local shops which is basically a gitzo clone for cheaper. If you can swing for a gitzo even used is fine, go for it, but I’m very happy with my chunky leg benro, it holds up the 4x5 monorail without any sweat, solid and steady.
>>4472300I'm usually transporting the set up by bike, so weight and bulk aren't big concerns.
What are your setups? Which products can you recommend? And wtf are the bastards from negative supply snorting to justify their pricing?speaking of: Does anyone have the STLs from tonecarrier? I am a poor bastard and want to try them out. other than that, I had no luck with the free printables you find on thingyverse etc.
>>4467036Zach? Put your name back on
>>4467038What exactly are you accusing me of?
>>4466199>yes, everyone shoots macro
I wanna start DSLR-scanning. I've always been using my N75 and developing at home. But now i want a DSLR on a budget anyways. I want to get a D3200 and a vintage 55mm with the PK-13 Extension. Will this give me satisfying results /p/? I am an amateur still, go easy on me
>>4464841I don’t have a photo of my setup but it’s nothing fancy. I basically repurposed an old big cube 3d printer that had a busted hotend so it’s my adjustable copy stand now which works out well. I’ve got an EOS R with the laowa 100mm macro (had this combo for ages not just for film digitizing) and some bright backlight. My laptop is right there and I do a tethered session while also fine adjusting the printer from it. Pretty fun, can adjust heights easy for 35mm and 120. You mentioned 3d printing, my film holders are printed as well and work just fine (this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6177136) but need a pretty well calibrated printer cause tight tolerances. It’s not a perfect setup my light could be better (just some generic light panel from Amazon) but for black and white it works out pretty good anyway. >>4464842Digital ice only works on colour film what if the homie is shooting BW
This thread is dedicated to close-range photographic captures utilising macro-optical imaging configurations to achieve greater reproduction ratios. Got it? Good now upload some shit. Last thread: >>4376661
>>4470254Yes. The biggest softbox you can bother buying and mounting is going to help. Reflective umbrellas are also very useful but that's more for things like the watch than living macro out and about. Alternatively you can bounce flash which is super effective for normal shots, but for macro I would recommend only trying that if you have a particularly strong flash.>>4470425>I need a ... monopodHmmmmm, nah. If you're going to do it, do it right and get a tripod with a macro rail. I can see why a monopod is tempting, but trust me all you'll be doing is saving yourself a stop or two of movement shake (omg it's just like ibis goys!). That or get a speedlite and softbox, which is more mobile and versatile, but risks the lighting looking harsh.
>>4470580Great shot!
from last summer. Think I used a headtorch to illuminate the bottom, but dont remember.
