https://sipacontest.com/galleryhttps://www.youtube.com/live/MblSCCiWRI0>start 55:55Aside 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?
>>4504267>P.S does anyone have the feeling one's own mind is getting lazier/dumb due to frequent AI use? e.g prompts like "correct this sentence" etc.? I feel like I cant even structure my own sentences anymore OR I doubt myself alot more than before when writting emails and posting.>using A.I.>not thinking for yourselfYou make Trixie sad.As for your mind getting dumber: use it or lose it. You should know, if you don't already: a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

>>4510789I like the blurry one that OP posted better.
>>4511089why?
Which one of these free film cameras will take better photos?
>>4515511The one you have with you.
>>4515511I'd personally rather have a Fuji lens than a mystery meat yashica/kyocera one, but they probably both take meh-to-acceptable photos assuming their internal electronics still function.
Right looks cooler and we know nobody on here actually uses there camera
Sup nerds, I got the new gear threadIs the Olympus OM-D a good camera?
>>4515508If you're adjusting ISO to account for exposure changes when doing ETTR, you are doing it wrong lol
>>4515508>The photo will always look better at, below, and a bit above “equivalence” on a global, zoomed out level.Unless you post unlabeled examples here and asked people which are FF and which are not and they can't do it
>>4515598huskyfag and doghair already proved sensor size has a lookcANON and corgicucks tests were purposefully botched and shrank to instagoy resolution to hide the big sensor superioritybest posters /p/ ever had. we need them to come back and post weekly proof sensor size is the only thing that matters.
Had to rma the battery, sony niggers asked fot the whole package. Now having to send the camera also.
The best cameras have not yet been made, but the best lenses have!
The "Cityscape" EditionPreviously: >>4507850Thread Question:>Who taught you the most about photography and what's the most memorable thing they said?
>>4512136>>4512137>>4512138>>4511996>>4511990You should make a thread for these cool pics. They are kind of wasted here on /rpt/.
>>4511917Agreed on the composition. I mmm'd and ahh'd about cropping it but thought I'd throw it out there as it is, see how it goes.>>4511918>that dumb bint's faceOf the several shots from that burst, that was unfortunately the best one. She looked even dumber in the other shots. Didn't have time to linger and try getting another shot as I was busy picking up dinner for the family.Thanks for the feedback mate.

Soft EditionThe aim of this thread is to discuss compact digital cameras (digishits) and share photos from them.If your digishit has a "soft" picture mode, take some photos with it and share them in this thread. Feel free to share your digishit photos taken in any other picture mode, too.Previous Thread: >>4477534

Had to compress this
Color doesn't matter. Today when you can adjust colors just by pressing a button there's nothing more fake than a color. You should only shot B&W. Black and White photography is real and pure. Shape, shadow and light - this is what makes your photography look special, not some bright oversaturation. If your picture looks good without colors then your picture is worthy
>>4515083>>4515084>>4515085And the final I'll share for now.>>4515087If there's no rgb tones and everything is captured as shades of grey, then the only contrast is luminance/brightness, is how I understand it.
>>4515088>>4515089I guess I have to try that since ive seen the rgby filters in the settings but diddnt know what they were for.
>>4515083the polarisation goes crazy>>4515089the sky looks really badin basically all of 'em
>>4515083Wait, here's one more, a colored photo of the same building with saturation -100, just for comparison.>>4515091>the sky looks really badI like it. My father was undergoing a major procedure at the hospital across the street, and that darkened sky foreboding look was speaking to me.
>>4508474Still looks oversaturated somehow.
What do I say when normies rebuke me for taking pictures of people in public without their knowledge?If I say they're in public and shouldn't expect to never have their picture taken; they still say it's creepy, voyeuristic, and an invasion of privacy.
>>4514984Not bad, although some people can be really aggressive in insisting you have a sinister motive… so many people are keen on catching a predator… so you might try reasoning like this with them in vain…
>>4512177>What do I say when normies rebuke me for taking pictures of people in public without their knowledge?It's ok, my mom said I can.
>>4512177I always say what are you gonna do about it when people say something.
Phonechads can take pictures anywhere without a second glance. Gearcels with their 9DMkVI show up and are immediately assaulted for being creepy weirdos taking pictures in public.
They're right. Smash your camera and tattoo "pervert" across your forehead.
Wanted to share some photos of a military-frontier reenactment I went to recently.
Great shots all around. Good thread.Favorites:>>4514054This one looks like it's from The Naked Spur (1953).>>4514059>>4514060The high contrast works here.>>4514065>>4514074
>>4514155 (checked)Thanks, man. The colors aren't for everyone, I suppose, but I'm still trying things out. No, it wasn't a battle reenactment. It was more of a day-in-the-life type deal. They only fired the cannons a couple of times.>>4514294Fair enough and good advice.>>4514375I really appreciate that, man! To your question, I think it's largely the color grading. To be honest, I got my first camera one year ago and haven't figured out how to edit the colors by myself in a way that produces these results consistently. I lean heavily on presets for the colors in my photos. I plan to read some books on color theory and work towards doing the colors on my own.I don't like trying to bring the shadows up too high, so I often just let the highlights clip if I think it will result in a better exposure. I try to only show off good photos. I usually shoot at 3fps, end up with more photos than I need, then only show the best ones.>>4514396Thanks. One day, we'll purge both the poisons the poisoners of our food, and we'll be as Heracles.>>4514413Glad to hear it, fren.
This could've been pure kino with film.
>>4514970I'm interested in learning film in the future.
every single time
>looking at some film camera that was $100>YouTube video came out a few weeks ago and it's now $300Fuck
>>4508313What happened?
>>4507713fuck you chris niccols i had been saving for that tc-1
>>4508900Its “ebay subtracts 13% of the buyers taxed and shipped total from what the buyer actually pays me, and I regret buying this”
>>4515140I doubt it will start costing more. The people willing to fork over 1000 bucks on a 35mm point and shoot are few and far between.
Redpill me on screen vs viewfinder debate. Personally I find screen to be way more comfortable. Viewfinder is a total pain in the ass.
>>4508213Don't waste your money first on Fuji, then Snoy, then Nikon but instead directly buy Leica and enjoy life
I’m near sighted so I can’t see shit except moving the screen a bit far away but by then the screen looks small. Viewfinder helped this problem.
>>4497900gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8 go dil8
>>4498668>A tripod encourages composition and planning and waiting.but more importantly, it's not fun to use
Viewfinder or screen.Each best in their own moment.Worst is not seeing.

Haven't been birding much lately but here's a crispy one from a test roll of the new non-alaris pro 400 I shot (I was pretty unimpressed but it was also harshly lit plus hazy that morning). Maybe I should rescan this one since the lab did such a meh job.>>4510575>>4510578I see crows and hawks fighting all the time around me but can never get a good shot, good on you for the effort.
I spotted an egret this morning
>>4515073And, a northern Flicker.
Been out of the country for a bit. The thread moved on rather nicely, love the photos. Just a few duck shots from me, walk and shoot so a bit fuzzy on the details.
Shot this at Monza Circuit. What do you think about the composition/framing? Camera: Canon EOS R50Lens: RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STMISO: 200Shutter Speed: 1/100sAperture: f/6.3
>>4512708this is very nice How did you got in to the track?
>>4514674So apparently it's free on some race days, neat.It was a good occasion to use a new camera i never used before (got used from a friend just 2 days ago). A huge upgrade from a 1200d to R6m2.Some attempts were made. Resuld were bad, but i had fun. I really need to learn how to use this machine
>>4515045
>>4515045This was the first attempt at a panning shot.I know it's bad, but there something i like about it
Taken by me at an Old thrift store down town. The store is very old and is a Salvation Army, i thought it would be a good place for photography and it really way
AAAAA IT'S SO LIMINAL
>>4514116
>>4514116I don't see anything liminal about this photo
>>4514742actually liminaldirect flash is eerie, tooVERY NAISU
>>4514531I think it should. Myself, I'm not an enjoyer of the backroom meme, but I like spaces without people and photos without people. So there are going to be different ways to approach the topic.
Has anyone here used these services to make money? Picrel is the main Australian one, Australian Associated Press. Seems a lot more interesting than stock photography. I don’t really have more to say, just curious to hear about other people’s experiences with organisations like these.
>>4512332Sounds interesting, I can't say I'd even thought about it before and just assumed the press had their own people for their own networks. So you just submit stock images that appear on news articles then? Is that what it is?
>>4512335Yeah, exactly.
no links or further discussion OP? why even make the thread lmao
>>4512335It's an Australian Newswire much like Reuters It was founded by another of the Murdoch family, Keith if I remember correctly.
