I made this strawpoll for the entry to the Siena Awards. Ends till 30th June 2026. 3 votes per person max. After category is chosen, lets get some pictures in a thread, choose the best and go to the Siena Awards 2027!Link is either QR code (pic related) or https://strawpoll.com/7MZ0kRk7rgo
>>4503623lmao the comments on the poll are funny. However if anyone here had a great picture to submit he'll probably do so without you, what's the point of passing through your straw poll ?
>>4503756See>>4503677
>>4503759That's just an insult and doesn't answer me tho
>>4503623i think you're getting ahead of yourself OP. we don't have any indication most of /p/ can even produce a photo, let alone a good one, let alone one that can compete in an international contesthow about starting with something small, like the monthly photo challenges of former /p/
>>4503767Yeah this sounds better but it's a time investment and I don't think OP will deliver, I certainly won't I I was him
Why has the world abandoned photo shoots of good looking women?99% of anything I see now is selfies and if its a photoshoot its just to sell clothing or some super generic looking agency testshoot. 10 years ago or whatever the world was full of every good looking girl doing multiple photoshoots just for content. What happened?
>>4502153 I drive trucks in a videogame, does this count?
>>4502153vegan? you really are retarded..
Where do I find my first ever model?
>be famous>have unlimited budged for every shot you make>get good pictureswow
>>4481289the world is saturated with content, and in that world the only thing that matters is e-girls building a parasocial following, and for that they can just use their phones
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?
>>4502432How many pages was the zone?
>>4486971>>4486970whoever she is tell her that I'm going to jerk off tonight thinking about cumming on her
Tourist from /lit/ here, you guys are inspiring me. I think I'm going to make and distribute a poetry zine.
>>45030048 pages, I did pic related.Did the design for Letter paper, forgot to add bleed/margins so had it printed on Tabloid sized paper centered and scaled to fit. Happy accident that made it a nice size after some trimming with a ruler and razor.
>>4503146that's cool. congrats on 10 years of marriage
Here is a hard truth I have learnt about photography from years of taking photos.If you want to get good at photography on a digital camera it will take about 5-10 years.If you want to get good at photography on a film camera it will take about 1 year.Its insane how much faster you learn when your mistakes come with a much higher cost. Their is no slider to save a bad exposure, their is almost no cropping room to save a badly framed shot. Also you only have 36 shots that you wont even see how they look until a week after you took them.Every mistake you made on that roll will hit hard and you will see it clear as day when you get back your lone 36 photos for the week and have to sit their and wonder why you made every mistake you did.If you learn only one thing from the entire time you have been on this board its buy a film camera. Even if you only used it for a year and threw every photo you took into the dumpster, you would still become a vastly better photographer for it making it worth it.
>>4503185Mostly at 400-800 so I can F8 and be there>>4503206Agreed, it's the only film Ive shoot for the last few years. I was gifted the roll of 400nc (was my favorite c41 film long ago) so I'm having some fun shooting color for once.
>>4502745Nigga cut the pretentious shit. From reading an old kodak handbook you get good at photography in a single week.Photography is not a big deal. There are simple rules and people are satisfied with the minimum. Photography branches out quickly into purpose-based specialty so you don't even need to keep track of progress in so called "photography", you just do what you want with it. Being in a specialty however, you're gonna have to think on how to get a message through and compete to keep your identity fresh. That has more to do with being competitive in your job than saying you're "good at photography"
>>4502753>>4502838Vista is out of production since 2012.Agfa still makes APX (bw) and AgfaPhoto Color (C41), both of which are nice day-to-day films, but nothing special.
>>4502745>harsh troofThe cry of the sub 80 IQ moron. OP thinks he's gatekeeping some incredible barrier and we're all going to look on in awe, hoping to one day achieve what he has. But back in reality, since OP is factually and provably some retarded angloid bog-dweller, his 'harsh twoof' is total hogwash and he has achieved nothing. The rest of us can read, so it was not hard to learn photography on digital. In fact with digital you can learn faster, because you don't have to wait for development and scans to assess your mistakes. You just have to be bothered to look for them. By the way, most people here have never destroyed a roll due to their own fault. White bitches on instagram shoot film. It's not an achievement.
>>4502745>If you want to get good at photography on a digital camera it will take about 5-10 years...if you're autistic.

>>4502976I appreciate the feedback! It's encouraging!
>>4502786I love the pic you posted, wonderin' if I share it, would you mind?I know a couple people online who would love it, please reply
>>4503313I would not mind, please share! :)

Do you scan your own film? If so, what’s your setup? Basically everything <$400 looks like crap from what I’ve seen.
i bought the valoi 360 kit and built a copy stand
>>4503057This looks superb.
>>4503101Thanks anon. I forgot to mention what I was using to edit and touch up the scans, which is lightroom with negative lab pro. If you want any tips LMK.
>>4503057is pixel shifting worth it? is there any discernable difference... especially with 35mm?
>>4503312Comparing the m43 pixel shift on to the same setup with pixel shift off, yes there is a huge difference. You get a lot more resolving power. The question is, do you actually need that much resolving power for scanning 35mm film? In my experience, no, it just ends up resolving more grain. The photo I scanned in that example was taken on a modern autofocus SLR with a modern lens and kodak gold 200, and even still, the scanning setup is overkill. Anything past like 25mp is just gunna be resolving more grain. Maybe its worth it for medium format, idk, I haven't scanned any. The only thing you really lose by using it is storage space. If you have it, I would use it just because having such fine grain being sharp and visible is pretty cool, and I think it looks good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy a camera for that.
Give it straight to me, /p/. Are Leica M cameras a meme? Or are they worth it?Mainly for portraits, and rock and leaves.
>>4495880>>4495647Based.>>4495849Cringe.>>4495925>and looks goodIs it the purpose of a camera? No. Irrelevant. Only a superficial hipster larpers would pull this crap.>It's bad for sure but it looks good!Are you a w*man? Reminds me of legging jeans with false pockets.
>>4481813It's another one of those things where if you have to ask if it's worth it, you shouldn't buy itLeicas are for people who have $5000 to spend on a camera. Nobody else.Either you piss money and $5k is a drop in the bucket or you are already willing to spend used car cash and want the absolute best even if the return on investment is nearly null. In which case you don't need convincing.
>>4481813i dont love my m6 but i want to be able to use my 28mm ultron f/2. if i knew what i know now i would have never upgraded to it from a canon p + skopar 35mm f/2.5 which is pretty much the most perfect system i have used. i also have used a bessa r2 or leica cl those were both basically perfect too. people (including me) micro-optimize way too much
>>4481813You're just paying for a name and some presets. They use Sony sensors and you can just load up Leica profiles for your RAW files to look exactly the same as if you had a Leica.
>>4503283Love the 28 f2 Ultron, had first version with my M4-P and now II with my M10
Insta and whatever else thread for wherever anons post their photos.https://www.instagram.com/mondatta.photography/Do any of you tend to go for certain themes and styles? Or just try anything?
>>4501086You followed me so I followed back anyway lol>>4501137Already following too my man, you post some good stuff
>3 of you unfollowed me a week after i followed backFuck you guys.
>>4502210suck my dick
>>4502210its truly over for these threads if this is what anons are doing to each other nowis there an alternative yet?
photos of my cat Rupert that i took on my phone which at least trace amounts of thoughtful composition, as per the board rules I like this shot because it really focuses on his face, which is cute
>>4476585Great photo

I saw a cat recently and thought of rupert
Color Calibration EditionPlease post film photos, talk about film photography, film gear like cameras, film stocks, news, and tips/tricks in this thread.Also talk about darkroom practices, enlargers, photo paper, techniques like dodging/burning, tools, and equipment related to enlarging, developing, and printing.Thread Question: How much time do you spend post-processing (or printing) a single photo?Previous thread: >>4494610
>>4500362I would never buy such a camera, but that is terrible news about the price.
>>4500340Looks neat, I'm gay for point and shoot cameras. I like how you can charge the flash with a usb-c and autofocus. If I had disposable $550 I'd buy it.
NEW: >>4500379>>4500379>>4500379We're cooking lately boys!
for the price of this shit what film camera can you get that's comparable to the new lomo mc-aand won't break down in 3 months
>>4503181Get a canon elan 7/30V

>>4505626Ty. I will drop them a question. But what do you mean by paying extra for badder film? Is the cheapest option at 16€I intend on getting this one. You just need yo glue a paper collar that fits your lensWill the wrinkles on the film affect the photo quality
>>4505642Yeah the film itself is fairly cheap, guess depends on how you mount it. Plus I'm used to telescope-size filters. The ones Baader makes in house are on the expensive side.Wrinkles=good, AstroSolar works better mounted loose, Baader advises this themselves. If it looks taught or smooth at any time then it's been mounted wrong.
>>4420600Stop down your aperture. Most budget ultra-wides like a 10-18mm have terrible coma performance when shot wide open. If you are at f/4, try f/5.6 or even f/8. This uses the center of the glass instead of the edges, which usually cleans up those wings.Check for lens decentering too. If the coma is way worse on one side of the frame than the other, an internal element is tilted. If the lens is new, return it. If it is old, it needs a professional calibration.The hard truth is that a consumer zoom usually lacks the aspherical elements needed to correct for light hitting the edges at infinity. For deep space and nightscapes, you really need a dedicated prime known for low coma.Also, a mount won't fix this. Tracking solves motion blur and trailing, but it does nothing for coma. If the glass produces angel wings on a tripod, it will still produce them on a 2k dollar mount. Stop the lens down and accept the loss of light by taking longer exposures on the tracker.
>>4420600>>4505704I am running a 35mm f/1.4 G Master prime and it is a completely different world. It was designed with XA elements specifically to fight coma, so even at f/1.4 the stars look like pinpoints instead of seagulls.Using a consumer zoom for astro is just an exercise in frustration. With the G Master I get about 8 times more light than you do at f/4, which keeps the ISO low and the shutter speeds short enough to avoid trailing without even needing a tracker. If you want results like this you have to stop using cheap glass and get a dedicated prime that is actually corrected for the edges.
>>4505706Pro tip: most refractor telescopes are coma-free. Both visual guys and AP guys will write a telescope off if it's got coma and even normies can tell it's no good so nobody really bothers selling optics that aren't coma-free in that space. All you need to attach one as a giant prime lens is a T2 ring and a T2 nosepiece (or something else with T2 threads on it that can fit in the focuser, some focusers also have T2 threads on them directly).
why is this guy so obsessed with nikon zr? is it really that good?
>>4503064I've covered a few ZR press events, Nikon is putting a lot of money into marketing for this camera. I would not be surprised if he's getting paid.
>>4503064>Why is somebody whose entire existence is to shill for sponsor deals shilling this obviously unsponsored productIt's sponsored.
>>4503064Yes it is.
I'd get one of the screen could fold down too
>>4503064no
I found this at my parent's house. They aren't photographers but they are filthy hoarders.
>>4503120I don't even have a film camera … yet, but I bet there's one hidden in the house somewhere.
>>4503124Go find it and take some pics. Film photography is pretty cool and the prints can look pretty good.You could take artsy pictures of your parents hoard and then make prints to give them. It could be funny.
>>4503125That's a good idea.
>>4503127There are developing trays under the enlarger, and a printing easel under to cables. Does the enlarger have a lens and film holder? A safelight, timer, grain focuser, paper and chemistry are all you need aside from a light tight room to get started.
>>4503141I have no idea what you're saying, but I eventually will.
I have never created a piece of art that I like. I never came back to anything I did months later and thought to myself "hey, this is neat".I can't use my hands to create shit. I can draw geometric shapes. I have nice handwriting. I can play open chords and bar chords on guitar. But that's where my physical skill set ends.I picked up a camera because my hands are no good. Only to realize that it's probably not my hands, it's my brain. I have little to no visual imagination. I can memorize rules that make photos look more pleasing, but I can not get beyond that in terms of intent with my photos.Over the last ten years, I resigned to the realization that I can't create anything because I have nothing to say. I have no personality. I have no opinions. I have no stories. Just things I point my camera at.
>>4499036great photo. it's hard to make something actually cool out of textures.
>>4495973I know that feeling bro, I just kept running with it because I couldn't figure out anything else either. Comes to 13 years of producing the most banal boomercore rock and leaf shit possible. Lately I haven't even bothered processing shit anymore.
>>4498730>>4498735I'm this guy >>4497545This is unironically pretty much the right attitude to have. I refuse to post photos anymore because it's just a shit-slinging fest here, especially when they're used as part of an argumentation. Why do you need to share photos? No one cares. There's always SOMETHING some bitter loser will use to undermine whatever point it is you're trying to make because 4chan is comprised of shitty contrarians.Do you like the photos you take? Good. You're a better photographer than anyone who posts here, and you don't need their input.Do you dislike the photos you take? Okay, post your photos and you will fit in with everyone else who can't take a good photo.If you like your photos and post them, you'll get the opinions of people who can't take a good photo but don't like yours, either. Completely useless.It's like that old allegory of the father and son travelling with their donkey. Someone will always have problem with the way you're doing it, so just ignore what everyone says and go about it in the way that suits you best because YOU'RE the one doing it, not them.So yeah, I'm probably a better photographer than 95% of people on the board, but I'm not going to post photos to prove that. It's completely non-requisite.
