I prefer a good f/3.5-4, anything wider starts to give me strong senior portrait vibes.

>>4378013
Also depends on focal length too, but 2.8 is usually my go-to.

Get a camera, a lens, a tripod, and a cable release. Maybe some lights if you’re feeling fancy but you can work with natural light. Use windows and muslin diffusion, or even a shower curtain. Check out pixy Liao, she’s a big time artist who pretty much just does self portraits with her boyfriend. Her lighting is on point tho, that’s sort of the be all end all of photography. So toss in a Profoto and a modifier like a soft box or octa (or an ultra bounce and a 6x6 with some rags if you wanna go cine style and don’t care about spill.

Sony sucks
Panasonic sucks

Nikon wins

Simple as

>>4377808
they're good on paper, but something about them, maybe the retardation on the owners means that there has never really been a good photo taken with one. they all look like ken rockwell, crooked, oversaturated boomer slop. they also get circle jerked for "muh build quality" but in reality we all know they're about as good as minolta, so about 4th or 5th place in that respect.

Domke.

>>4378011
nikon actually has really bad color science and the persistent tilting is because nikon has a decades long qc problem with viewfinders not being level

sony and canon are unsurprisingly the best, although sony dslrs are criminally underappreciated because their lens selection was so basic (canon still leads snoy in lenses)

>f/64's "objective" cancer
I do have to defend that group because their objective was pure sharp focus but not necessarily "objective" or palpable reality (other than Dorothea Lange's efforts at photojournalism) they often played with the illusion of whimsical settings that made you question the reality itself of it or so to say, Adams was notorious for shopping the light and shadows to create this effect, he never hid that fact.
Their group merely meant to distance itself from pictorial trends because they said that genre focused and mixed a lot of painting and graphic hand artistry rather than pure photography, which is ironic because Adams practically used dodge & burn methods like a graphic designer would.

>Their group merely meant to distance itself from pictorial trends because they said that genre focused and mixed a lot of painting and graphic hand artistry rather than pure photography, which is ironic because Adams practically used dodge & burn methods like a graphic designer would.
The entire debate was basically between "photos should be carefully staged and heavily manipulated to conform to an artistic vision" and "photos should speak for themselves" and it wasn't even really a debate because by the time f/64 was founded pictoralism was already dead out east.

A light, softbox and a light stand with a boom arm.
Better control of light should make even shitty phone sigjnificantly better. Also a tripod (and a phone tripod attachment).

If you want go camera: light, tripod, a crop sensor dslr/mirrorless kit, maybe a chink macro extension tube set. Smaller the sensor, easier to get relatively deep depth of field for closeups of small items.

I'm looking to get a reasonably priced compact for sneaky concert photography, mainly an upgrade from canon s95 - the pictures are fine but I would something that can take more than 1 pic per second in spray and pray mode.
Right now I'm looking at Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III just becuase it can take 30 RAWs per second. Are there any other cameras I should consider? Not intrested in sony products.

NTA but, I think people blame the ISO performance, even though it doesn't matter for most conditions you'll be shooting it in.

I think the real problem with them was the lens selection being very limited to either extremely heavy and optically very nice or trash with no in between. There are also some obvious holes in the lens line up (like an 85mm equiv. prime)
