I have an iPhone 13 and I've been wanting to take photos of my CRT. Currently the only way to get rid of flicker has been recording on the blackmagic app at the right shutter speed and screenshotting the video which seems odd. Surely there's a good camera app that lets you take photos with options for shutter speed.
>>
>>4485306
get a real camera, stupid faggot
>>
>>4485306
Anything where you can control the shutter speed. Other than that it doesn't matter. You just need a slower shutter speed to stop the flicker. Maybe a tripod too to make sure your images are sharp when using a slow shutter speed.

How confident are you Sigma can make the full-frame Foveon happen, anon? Even if they can get it to market, how likely are you to invest in it?

The worsened color accuracy appeals to dum dum photographers that cant make a LUT and retains better pixel peeping quality than other inaccurate cameras like xtrans and ancient ccds

Here’s one now, projecting its own sour grapes (inability to get stand out colors with common cameras) onto others

It will now complain about “hours at a computer" like 30 min to make a preset to use forever is worse than paying thousands for a shittier camera with marginally nicer jpegs (but only SOOC with no settings changed, otherwise any camera can get the same jpegs but thats CHEATING)
But it still shoots raw anyways (gotta crop, rotate, and fix its white balance misses)

Foveon is truly pointless. Just buy a 40+mp camera, downscale, and fuck up the colors yourself.

Thank you! I appreciate the time you took to write that. I have tried embracing reflections as part of the composition, but nothing that comes together especially coherently. I do love shooting mannequins but no kino yet. If it isn't reflections, it's a dirty ass window.
>>
>>4485059
happy to do so anon. I like your pic, the poses are fun and sure the window is a bit dirty but I think this is pretty close to being a really really good photo. the reflection here could easily make the story - is someone looking in hoping to get the job? is someone walking away, perhaps rejected? or even just the excitement of the mannequins could contrast with the normalcy of the street outside. give yourself some credit, because (to me, anyway) it seems like you're approaching things from the right perspective and just need to work on some of the finer details. I'll be on the lookout your next shots

I immediately regretted not getting a Goto version when trying to use higher power eyepieces on Saturn and Jupiter but you get the hang of tracking stuff manually pretty quickly, I love it now. Hopefully I can pull an all nighter this weekend and really use it because almost every single night since I bought it it has been cloudy + windy. Did you get a Skywatcher as well? I noticed they advertise it as coming with 25mm and 10mm eyepieces yet mine came with a 20mm and 12mm instead and a phone mount, not complaining, just a bonus.
>>
>>4485071
Also is that Saturn?
>>
>>4485108
>>4485109
Yes, Sky-Watcher 300P GoTo. I was going to get the non-computerised one but my dad told me I would regret it and it's worth the extra money and I can still get the fun out of manually finding objects. I have to say I'm glad I went with the GoTo. It's been the same here, I've used it once since I bought it three weeks ago because it's just been shit weather but the radar looks good for tomorrow night so hopefully I get a good night of viewing the outer planets + the Moon. Mine was advertised with 20mm and 12.5mm and that's what I got. Maybe they changed it and forgot to update it. And yes, it's Saturn and Titan (the gold one to the left). I'm going to try and tinker with the mirrors to get them better alligned because I noticed some aberration especially with Jupiter, I want to buy some higher power eyepieces soon. Did you get any use out of the phone holder yet? It seems really chinky and cheap and I don't really fancy messing about with it in the cold trying to take sub-par pictures.
>>
>>4485111
Nice, I sort of tried the phone mount but it doesn't seem to fit very snug, you can't secure it very tight or you'll just end up gouging out bits of rubber from your eyepieces plus if your phone has multiple cameras you'll have to keep moving it side to side when you manually focus, not viable when your target is zooming across the view in <10 seconds. I read that the Celestron phone mounts sit much more secure with the giant clamp but that only solves one issue. Don't do what I did and get a cheap laser collimator either, you'll spend more time trying to collimate the collimator than using it on the mirrors, only to find when you put it in your scope in the 2" adapter it came with that it wiggles around anyway, just use the collimation cap that came with the scope.

That was hardly seething, he's right about a few things. Most people with Leicas buy them for the image not because they need something compact, there's a lot of cameras that do the same thing the Leica does and cost a lot less.

wait, hang on i'm doing this all wrong from the get go:

YOU DON'T NEED LEICA THAT COST MORE THAN AVERAGE SOVIET HOUSEWIFE

YOU DON'T NEED IMPERIALIST JAP CANNON OR KNEE-CONE THAT SHOOT 13FPS OF CAT ON AMERICAN LAZEEEEE-BOY SOFA

YOU DON'T NEED SONE-EEE MIRROR-LESS CAMERA OF VAPID YOU TUBING PERSONALITY

BUY SOVIET CAM. FED OR ZORKI IS FINE! IS MADE FROM BASTARD NAZI DESIGN AFTER SOVIET ARMY HUMILIATE THEM. BUY 5CM LENS. LEARN HOW TO FOCUS BEFOREHANDS. LEARN HOW SUBJECT MOVE IN AND OUT OF FRAME

SHOOT BLACK AND WHITE FILM. SMENA IS FINE! DON'T SHOOT SLIDE FILM AND DEVELOP IN DRUGGIST PHOTOMACHINE. THAT MAKES YOU HIPSTER ASSHOLE WHO RELIES ON MISTAKES. MISTAKES GET YOU KILLED LIKE BASTARD NAZI ARMY WHO DECIDE TO FIGHT IN WINTER OF GLORIOUS MOTHERLAND

How do wedding shoots on manual focus go? Also with more limited capabilities for telephoto, no zoom, no macro ring shots, etc
All the wedding shooters I know are using SLRs or mirrorless with big bruiser sports pro zooms, so you must be really good or have a different style.
DESU, I’ve only handled a leica once, but I really liked it, and it’d be nice to be able to pick up some gigs on the side and help defray the costs.
>>4483480
The temptation is definitely real. I know it’d make more sense to buy Sony or canikon and get hybrid options, good autofocus, etc, but I just want the rangefinder.
Been watching too many Cam Mackey videos, I guess. Shows that you can get nice portrait/fashion editorial style shots with full manual and now I’m feeling the vibe. Also the little itty bitty lenses are very appealing compared to the new Nikon stuff, optical perfection or not
>>
>X-pro 2 + 35mm 1.4
Or
>m240 + 50mm Voigtlander

Fuji package is half the price, but it’s aps-c, but you do get autofocus
Leica would be $2500 for the combo, but FF, M-mount so all lenses are usable forever, and I kinda like using manual focus
Use would be for travel, portraits, and maybe fashion/influencer photography, I know some people at my gym.

Only real downside of Leica is spending that much money up front, and needing a whole second camera to shoot sports or action. Granted, the x-pro autofocus probably isn’t up to the task for that either

What's a good way to discover photographers you like, including dead ones? Is Pinterest good?
>>
>>4484740
>What's a good way to discover photographers you like, including dead ones?
Go to a used book store or your university's library (even if you aren't a student you can get a library card as a member of the public) and borrow photography books. Find something with a focus on historical periods in photography, scenes and movements, or specific photographers. Even if you get one book that is overall on a subject that, after you turn the final page, you have no affection for, you may return it or put it back on your bookshelf at least knowing where you'd like to point your nose next, since you may find an allusion to another photographer or style outside the scope of the book you just read.
>Is Pinterest good?
Maybe. I like Flickr. Tumblr probably has some blogs you might like and there is a hashtag system so you can jump down some rabbit holes there. This is a queer suggestion but pbase and goat.vision are great resources for viewing sample galleries of specific cameras or lenses, not so much for finding specific photographers though.
>>
>>4484740
Reading.
>>
>>4484762
+I highly recommend to brief review of each book you read. take a picture of the cover or the most representative picture and write one or two lines of your impression about that book or the photographer.
Trust me, it will give you in the future such great insightful database that any other meme youtuber's bullshit reviews could never give.
This trick applies to pretty much everything in life though.

Photography has the power to not only document the horrors of the world, but also bear the mark of its maker, for better or worse. It is not simply opening and closing a shutter.

Take this evidence that the SS photographer, Friedrich Franz Bauer, implicated himself with. He usually made propaganda of concentration camps to normalize them against any moral outrage. This was part of the Nazi regime's policy to beautify their camps and "Jewish settlements."

Here, Bauer takes photos of innocent children in a psychiatric hospital. He knew full well they would face forced euthanasia during Aktion T4. But history now sees this photo as a criminal act, a witness to the worst parts of humanity, as well as a bystander who did nothing to stop the rise of modern evil. Again, photography is not merely clicking a button. It has the power to echo throughout history.
