hahah at my age of 35, I still remember when I was in a 1st or 2nd grade in school and there was this girl in my class, whos mom took her to Italy. She was some kinda basic prostitute and was taking her daughter with her, on her trips to Italy. And so the kid was kinda confused about a ton of things.

Once, when we had this class in school, where we had these three stripes - red, green and white, and we had to construct our national flag with them, she mistakenly made the Italian flag LOL :D

Later on that same kid became a beautiful, fucking beautiful young lady, but with very destroyed mind. I had the precious chance to fuck her several times, and at that point of my life, I liked shaved pussy more than hairy one. But she was freaking hairy. And guess what she answered me when I asked her why she doesnt shave? She told me ...

>> "My mom found me in the bathroom, when I was shaving my pussy. She beat the hell out of me, literally destroyed me. And now Im too afraid to shave again."

Oh, well... Never saw her since. Maybe her mom took her back to Italy, to make her a prostitute aswell. Poor kid. She was so lovely back in the day...

no, the best way to learn is to take photos and share them on chinese cartoon image boards and get shit on till you figure out what people appreciate

>Better cameras
cameras aren't sharp, lenses are
>aren't that different in terms of being sharp
They are, by a big margin. You are simply not shooting complex subjects

>>4404489
>They are, by a big margin. You are simply not shooting complex subjects
Official way to measure sharpness of a lens (or camera+lens) is to take a picture of a step function and see what you get in the end, and from this you can calculate MTF or whatever it is called.
And step function isn't something fancy, its just black on white with a very sharp border. Like Siemens chart. Or bars. Or whatever. That isn't a complex subject.
While I didn't do it, because I have no idea how, nor I don't really want to, I took various pictures. Birds (feathers are a small detail), buildings, etc. All cameras except fuji were pretty close. Some are slightly better, some are slightly worse. But in the same ballpark.
Definitely not APS-C or FF or even MFT in terms of obtained details (because sensor is small, lenses aren't the best, etc. You know, even kit lenses with DSLRs or MILCs or whatever would produce much sharper image with more details)...
Digishit quality, as it should be. Except phone, phone has awful colors.

Fuji however, even after making it save CCD raw from the engineering menu, was blurry as fuck. That is weird, because it felt more like cheapo phone that does AI garbage, but nope, just blurry lens. But that blurry lens takes surprisingly good close ups, and I don't understand why.
>cameras aren't sharp, lenses are
Those are digishits with non-interchangable, so a camera (entire thing) is more correct.

>>4404474
Top has flat rendering
Bottom has 3d pop

>>4404501
Yes, i should retake pic so all of them are square.

>>4404497
>And step function isn't something fancy
it's literally non differentiable

>>4404197
>what should not have to be stated is that a good craftsman has the right tools to begin with and does not even waste his or others time trying to shoehorn bad tools into the wrong job.
what if I am doing it ironically

>>4404208
Yes. The truth is very cool.

>>4404208
You better think its cool. You have a canon rebel and dogshit lenses. Not exactly a vintage CCD digishit. Not exactly a nice modern camera. All you can shoot pleasantly is B&W street photography and low ISO deep focus stuff, stopped down to milk as much decency out of crappy lenses that are neither sharp nor characterful - just blurry.

You also need to remember that megapixels are not resolution. They are the digital sampling rate, but not actually how much detail is resolved. You have to account for demosaicing blur, the AA filter, and lens blur. So the actual resolution of your camera could be half the output size. Near full sized images would only good for 300dpi prints, for the internet you should be posting half size instead of displaying blur.

Been shooting on and off! Not sure what my style is, kinda mixed between landscape street and just general life.

Want to kinda turn it into a lifestyle sorta thing as well where I post my fashion shit as well as photogs.

>>4404517
It's nice to have a style but it's boring not to try new things. Just have fun with it man.

>>4404498
It's like cooking books but if you want to make a medium rare tenderloin steak Chef Gordon Ramsay wants you have to go from a step beyond the cook books and start knowing how to really cook food by your tastes.

>>4404498
If a book helps you learn, go for it. There's nothing in there that you can't find online, and nothing you can't become proficient within a month or two of deliberate shooting / practice.

What are you actually struggling with about exposure?

>>4404498
Look anon, exposure is like learning how to read and write, it's all based on how you observe. How I learned to expose images was due to the luck I had that my grandparents had seeing issues like cataracts and being near-sighted. Film school is good in that you have a back and forth reaction with a professor, but the bad news is that they rush you and you don't really have time to learn it well through practicing. I made a D in photography and my professor advised I make as many photos as possible to get the hang of things, and so I did.

>>4404498
The For Dummies series sounds up your alley

if you think it's bad now, you should look at digicam era vids. i ran into this when researching digicams and 2000s-2010s compacts. the few existing videos are around a decade old and lack any footage of the camera in action. it's mostly unboxing content. if you can find a review, it'll never have the most important detail about the camera, which is the operation/af speed. the closest you will find is a comparison to another camera in the same class. which is completely useless unless you happen to have a copy of that camera. mind boggling to forgo the greatest singular strength of the video format which is to show the device in use. instead, the majority of these old videos are trash and offer nothing you couldn't find in a spec sheet

Currently in digital photography 101 (basically) The fact there's SPEDs and downies in college is hilarious and annoying, I feel bad for the profs that can't tell them to shut the fuck up.

I've found myself going out of my way to upload my shots here or an A.I for critiques outside the scope of my projects, machine gun spraying shots and practicing dry fire is fun. Like I'm shooting shit legally.

i have the 50 and the mitakon 65 as well. i sometimes think about getting a different native lens because the 50 is a bit bland and the bokeh looks awful to me. but i think i had the idea of having the 50 as the standard general purpose lens and adapting lenses if i want something more specific or flavorful

I'm a total noob and I have an xm1. Should I get a used xt1 or xt2 soon, or get some more lenses instead and get better with the xm1?

Is trying to shoot macro with GFX a fool's errand? I've heard nailing focus is very hard, and there's no native lenses that do 1:1 well (sample images of the 120mm macro with tubes look very soft) which means no automatic focus braketing which is a pain. Does anyone have experience trying this?

no one here knows what you should get better than you do right now. and what you know right now is 1% of what yuo'll know after 20 hours of shooting. so just use what you have until you figure out what changes will be relevant to your purposes

seems silly since dof will be so tiny and as you said, the system doesn't have very useful macro lenses

A friend's wedding photography business is taking off, and he asked me if I could join him as a second shooter on a few. I would need to get a new camera. I would kind of like to get an X-S20, so that I can leave my options for doing video open, but is the photo quality decent? How bad is the video quality on an X-T5 in comparison?

Kawasaki Ninja 250. Gonna sell it sooner or later for a Versys or a V-Strom as I'm finding myself going into mountains and trails more and more often. Kinda sucks when I have to dismount and walk when an ADV could get me closer to the more exotic spots. Ah well, at least walking is good for you.
>I wasn't shitting on your photo
Nah please do. I'll never get better unless I get some sort of feedback. 70% of my photos are travel snapshits, but I do try and get at least a handful that come out somewhat decent.
>>4400864
>You have no composition. Most of them are just flat and bland.
Agreed. I end up taking a lot of photos that I just think look nice, even if they lack photographic merit. Still better to share them to /p/ than fag on about gear like the other 2/3rds of the board. This is something I would like to actively work on.

you forgot motivational speeches. Social media is ruined these days. But if you want to play the game you have to play the game.

A lot of vids become popular from some kind of cringe humor. But who am do disagree.
Or when I'm checking some profiles, I see milns views on one certain video where girl decided to bend, but on her other vids, sometimes hundreds views.
Anyway, if I need a guide how to talk with the certain people, will check mr beast videos

Uploaded one short video and really and already see some views(25 views, it's record for me). I get no subs(maybe in future), but at least this short used for main video and it's not some viral shit for kids.
I have material for another vid and short, but it's only on next week.

I got one of those Epsons (ET-2721) and they're really good.

Haven't had a dried out printer head ever since (the ones in my old Canon printers always dired out after a couple of days) and refilling is quick.
Prices for ink are low as you can simply buy third-party ink for almost no money. Quality-wise I don't see any differences when printing.

I wouldn't do this. Even with first party you'll spend way more on papers than on ink without risking poorer color accuracy. Then again, that particular one only has 3 colors, so color accuracy isn't going to be stellar either way.

If OP can at all afford the 6 color A3 printer, that's what I'd recommend.

I bought my HP Laserjet printer depending on what the local printer shop had experience with and could refill toners for.

I had Inkjet printers before and I seriously hate them. I paid more than a lifetime worth of money and time dealing with shitty inkjets. I don't care if it's >muh modern inkjet tech.

Just stick with laser printers and you'll be thankful how reliable and how little maintenance they'll need. Ink is also more environmentally hazardous and difficult to get rid of than toner dust.

>Brother B&W Laser
Is the objectively best $100 you'll ever spend. You can even load up laser photo paper and make somewhat decent B&W prints at home. Not ideal since laser photo paper is expensive and inkjet will always btfo laser for images.
>I order my prints
This or go to a local shop for anything except constant printing. A home setup will be better overall for colour accuracy, exposure, and ensuring consistency. You also get to play with all sorts of exotic photo paper that otherwise wouldn't be available.
But yeah, it gets pricey and if you don't print often enough you'll have to service the printer every now and then to keep the parts free of gunk or died ink etc.

I bought an epson ecotank 8550.. more than good enough for an amateur like me.
