Collage 2. Notice how the spherical aberration creates the glow around the stalks and how it changes so dramatically as you stop down. Pretty neat to see the actual images instead of just observing the change through the ground glass.
Here is the full image. This one was at f10, which I think has the nicest balance to it. The softness is extremely exaggerated on full frame compared to 8x10.
f7 looked pretty cool for this one.
>>4519904These are really cool, thank you for sharing! How did you manage to get image xrbw5i (the flower pot) looking so sharp?? Which settings and lens did you use? Very pretty.
>>4520182Thanks. It was a fun test. I kinda want to see how the other soft focus lenses I have compare now.Idk really. Maybe the lighting and being able to super precisely focus using liveview 10x zoom + the geared focus on my view camera.I used a 180mm sinaron se at f11. Really nice LF lens.
am I the only autist that is into that?
>>4519726
>>4519727I wanted to do a cool light setup in this picture
>>4519749
>>4519749>>4519816Love these two. Is the light yours? If so what light did you use? Like a video lamp or just some random torch?
>>4520032yes, i don't know if its obvious in the pics but you are hundreds of meters away from the closest entrance, so its pitch black in there. For these pictures i used flashlights i threw in my backpack, most of them being 3500k. I do have access to a video light sometimes tho which helps a lot for film pics like related cause it's a lot brighter than whatever flashlight
Can someone explain what curves are and how to use them? I know they can do anything that is on the sliders, but I'm still confused on how they work and how to use them effectively without screwing it up
>>4518912>>4518959do you guys have an opinion on which adobe lightroom profile looks decent and not overblown saturation and contrast?
>>4519272go neutral if possible. or get a linear profile from here >https://goodlight.us/linear-profiles.html
>>4519272Watch LR editing videos and see what profiles they use, and what their photos look like.
>>4519272In my opinion all lightroom profiles look bad and the standard cope is>brooooo raws are meant to be flat bro its a blank canvas bro make up a totally new scene brooooooSo most people just buy preset packs and feel a little sad about not having an easy way to get the colors they saw in real life
>>4519272Pick any profile and use any of the many controls in LR to get the look you want.
Does anyone else here take pairs of images to synthesize depth in mages?This was taken from the Lummi Reservation looking east to Mt. Baker and the Sisters. Base was about 100 meters.
>>4518715... and anaglyph
>>4518715Yes, I'm working with film. I'm using a large format camera with lateral movements to move the front and rear standards from left to right to get the two shots.They are a cross pair, I'm interested in seeing if I can replicate something like the stereophotos from the late 1800s early 1900s. My next plan is to use the rollfilm back I have for the camera to do some colour work with slide film. Then I can actually use a physical viewer.I just lined up the images in photoshop after scanning mostly because I just learned about stereophotomaker by reading your post.photo is another, older, one where I took one as I had space for two more sheets in my devtank. This didn't work as well as the near objects weren't separated well from those behind them.
>>4517161>>4517162>>4517163what did you use to take these photos?
>>4518900Nikon D5200, cha-cha.
>>4518816Well that's pretty cool that you're using film for stereo. Hard work, too.For baselines, a rule of thumb is that the baseline should be about 1/30th the distance to the object of interest. That varies depending on what you're trying to achieve. For instance, my baseline of 100m for the OP image was enough to get an idea of relative distances from hill to hill, but was not nearly enough to yield the shapes of the hills or of Mt. Baker itself, 60km away.P.S. here's an anaglyph of your dev tank and desktop from StereoPhotoMaker - hope you don't mind my doing that.
I have never ever regretted buying a camera this much this quicklyOver processed piece of shit, exposure is all over the place, the colors are all phone tier artificial overdone shit, panning is jittery, it's all shit

what is the value of an image?like you take ityou can feel dopamine taking itbut, then what?besides getting approval on social mediaor selling it for monetary compensation,what is the value?we take the picture, we enjoy the process of taking the picturewe make pictures we enjoy to look atbut, do we hope that other's enjoy? is individual value more than the value to others, or society?i guess personally, taking photos is a fun thing to dothen I hope that the picture's are worthy and appreciated enough, so that I, the person who took it is also esteemed and appreciatedComment too long.

>>4516107Why does she has integral functions on her back?
>>4516107I take photos because i like to look at them sometimes decades later. It brings back good memories. "Oh yeah i remember that day, i saw a really rare fungi that day." when i look at my fungi photos"That day was great i got to witness that one rare bird fly by." when i look at my bird photosetc.Also i think it's like shooting a gun for gun people, the act of taking photos especially when you try your best and not just point and shoot but choose the settings according to the conditions.
>>4516107The human soul desires creation. There are many ways to achieve this and some choose photography. The value is in the act as much as the result.
>>4516107There are moments that if not recorded, will be lost to time. And you will never know what moments will feel the most precious five years or even a decade from now.
>>4516107To enjoy the process, trying to understand more, to get better, and to share them mindfully with who I want, is what a strive.I wanted to be edgy and dogmatic, and say that I despise modern social media for what it is, but I figure fully rejecting the act of wanting apreciation from other people is not the right stance either.In the and, as other said, photography inherently is capturing a moment in the evermarching time. How you can honor it is by trying to have a better understanding on what do you want to show, how you can do it, and with whom do you want to share them.You should be content with the process itself, and not the results.
my dad pulled this tripod out of his stash, and i have no idea what this mounting point is called. does anyone happen to recognize it? the model is the aspen 81109, and i couldn't find anything about it on the internet
>>4519688nice, that does look very similar. unfortunately i can't find people selling the plate alone
>>4519690Here's a 3D Print file for it https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4726617At the thingiverse site you can see a list of tripods it works for so you could check eBay for a cheap one, I think the one I posted was around $30 total.The dimensions for the plate are here so you can compare with your headhttps://tripodquickrelease.com/plates/QS-03.html, that site doesn't have any available for sale.If you don't have a 3D Printer you can have someone do it. You'll have to provide the screw but that should be pretty simple since those are fairly standard.There's a seller on eBay, quick_reliase_plate_for_tripod_ua that made some QS-03s that you could contact.
I handle quite a bit of gear and often times when people sell stuff to me they include tripods that in some cases are missing the plate. In my experience with these cheaper tripods it is not worth trying to get a replacement as they are usually more costly than the tripod alone. First google result of tne tripod name showed an auction where it sold for 2 dollars.
>>4519692plus it looks like one of the plastic tabs sheared off so even if he did find the plate, it wouldn't be secure.
>>4519694yeah i was wondering about that. my dad said he can try finding the camera and then i'll be able to see if the plate is secure at all
Tried this lightroom thing with some presets. Don't really get why this preset does things so much differently advertised.Left is what it's supposed to look like, right is what it actually does for me.>https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUbdhjLkpCz/What dis I do wrong? I copied the settings exactly as they are written.
>>4519486>Sounds more like you don't even want to learnYes. I'm not a photographer. It's not even a hobby. I just want to do what's said in the video for some pics to see if it looks good.
>>4519557Enjoy your failure then
>>4519557>I just want to do what's said in the video for some pics Yes, but you don't care enough to hear explanations of why or why it may not work, or how to get the look without using those settings
>>4519587There have been no explanations offered just condescending "well just make/learn it yourself".
>>4519596>There have been no explanations offeredIt's hard to give explanations when you won't answer basic questions like where you applying the same settings to the RAW file? What base profile did you use? Sometimes things might not work for a variety of reasons and none of us are psychic, you have to actually give us information to work with if you want genuine help.There have also been explanations given exactly for how to get whatever colors you want, instead of blindly copying some numbers.Again, if you shared the RAW, I'd be happy to do my own edit that matches the OP and share what settings worked for me. Unless you were trying those settings on like a screen cap of the before?

>>4519685>DSLRs are better photography cameras.How can a DSLR be better for photography when it can't show you what the photo looks like in the viewfinder?Yes, they work better as spotting scopes / monoculars, but the point of photography isn't SEEING through the lens, it's CAPTURING through the lens. Seeing what the camera sees and making adjustments to that in real-time is why electronic viewfinder is the superior photography tool.

I am going to post random images I made which I have also edited and I would love my /p/iss bros to give me feedback on my composition, but mostly editing style... or direct me towards an editing style that would fit me.>feedback on composition>feedback on editing>direct my towards my own styleStarting with opening image...
>>4502365I see your work, and before say something about it, i would say that looking for your style maybe its not the best, but i dont think that identified a little bit of that is to bad. Let me explain, knowing your style is great, but you dont have a strong style yet, there might be things, sure, but when you think about great directors, just stay mainstream, like tarantino, he is not making a movie thinking of following the path of his style. he is thinking in the shit he likes, and THAT is his style. is literally mix the shit you like and see what happend. You can doit manually as i said, mix or you can do it the natural way of just letting time show you what you like repeating de most. Most people would tell you the boat photo is great, i think you miss a big photo. That photo with just a slightly better composition would be amazing, you have the 2 subjects, the black trees and the boat with reflect, you divided in the rule of thirds, but you doit really cheap, the trees are to far in the inside of the left third, and the boat is better, i think the point allings nicely. If you want to play with BIG subjects, like super big black (trees again) and white ( for boat) you need to doit in a really tight composition, otherwise looks like something that its not finish. If big characters in game watch the composition nicely, this is top tier shit or you look the best photo of the bigger photographers and think they almost cacht it? no, they make it perfect, that is why its so hard. And the road photo tilted 45 its reeally fucking nice, i think you should explore more that, its wild and purist, and FAGGOTS! photographers would say ist not good, fuck them. That photo has movement, and that its no so easy to achive, it like you mix some shit and came that really good, explore that. That composition its better that the boat, even tho the boat its good, it gives that feel of somethings missing, but if i had the same time as you as i think it was short, i would miss to
>>4502387I made this picture better. I think I improved a little also in my editing skills.
>>4519436Here something new on my travels. Since then I feel like I have taken enough photos and have been chilling since. Photo gear is collecting dust. Want to travel again, this time to northern Poland or even Prag (in August). Still unsure, due to the temperature, which just takes the fun out of sight seeing.(pic related taken on same Island)

I want to start a /p/ monthly, or tri-monthly, photo competition where the prize is actually desirable and relevant to photography: film rolls. Of course, they’ll be cheap, readily-available film stock like Ultramax 400 or Gold 200, or whatever else is easy and inexpensive to get ahold of, but the problem is this: how shall voting stay honest, and how shall the winner’s address stay anonymous when I send him the prize? I don’t want the poll’s integrity to be compromised, nor the winner’s anonymity. Who has some ideas for how this could be set up?
>>4519353I've served as a judge for several local photo contests
>>4519191Sure, but it must be called The Incel Adams Award.
>>4519370Not here, you haven’t. Here, you’re nobody.
>>4519382Creative, juvenile, relevant: wish granted.
>>4519354As one of those you mention, there is a trip I have used in the past.>>4519383Well now's a great time for me to start here too then!>>4519191>they’ll be cheap, readily-available film stock like Ultramax 400 or Gold 200I have access to a pretty wide variety of stocks for fairly cheap, would be happy to contribute if I can just send to an organizer. Can probably see about some random camera related swag too, I just don't want to deal with organizing part at all.
Im going back to aps-c, pic related. I have finally gained wisdom and dropped the pretensions. It only took me a decade. Bros, 24MP is enough. Film is dead. Medium format, film or digital, is only worth it if you shoot professionally. save yourself the pain. Just shoot. Don’t be a gear whore.
>>4519367>The original A7 was fine given that it was the first FF interchangeable mirrorless cameraHow does that excuse throwing out decades of material science and camera design?
>>4519340GR has absolute shit AF, probably worse than Fuji if such a thing is possible. But it is the most compact setup you can get for the sensor size. It's interesting that full frame film compacts could get pretty small and no one, even Ricoh themselves, has been able to replicate the film GR size in full frame. Pentax seem fine with doing weird cameras and I can't think of a technical reason now that sensors have microlenses and BSI.>>4519265Not a fan of PASM myself although it seems to be what Sony ended up adopting with the NEX-6 and 6000 series. Strange reason to specifically pick the z30 since pretty much every mirrorless camera has PASM these days.>>4519344I'd be happy if Sony did an update of the NEX-5 just for APS-C. There is no FF pancake in any system that comes close to the 20mm APS-C pancake size although I would want a viewfinder and flash and would be willing to live with a tiny screen to keep the dimensions.
>>4519371the zve10 i bought and kept for a short time didnt have pasm, while the z30 did. im just saying i would've been happier with the z30. plus theyre cheap...$400 refurb from nikon at one point with the kit lens (now like $600)
>>4519369Design flaws aren't uncommon even for things that should have been solved (oily shutters, foam gaskets, sensor rusting) because some engineer screwed up. Someone makes a metal replacement for the plastic shim for the A7 which would be a pretty cheap fix for any ebay camera with that issue. Granted they fixed that with later versions but none of those are as thin.
>>4519373no that's fair and that is a great deal. The ZV series are Sony's video focused "vlogging" type cameras and they don't have a PASM dial and some other photo oriented features. The rest do.
>The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust has raised concerns over what it describes as the unauthorised use of Ansel Adams’s name and work in an “AI-generated colour version” of his iconic photograph shot in 1942 Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, which was recently exhibited and offered for sale at a major international photography fair.>In a statement, the Trust said the work “exploited Ansel’s name, reputation, and his most iconic image, while failing to identify any human artist responsible for its creation. The Trust did not authorise, endorse, consent to, or acquiesce in the ‘AI-generated colour version’ of ‘Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico’ exhibited and offered for sale by Danziger Gallery at The Photography Show presented by AIPAD in April. The Trust was not consulted or notified before the work appeared. Once alerted, we reached out to James Danziger in real time, notifying him of the Trust’s rights, and asking for the work to be removed. Correspondence shared with the Trust shows that, despite our formal notice, Mr. Danziger subsequently leveraged Ansel’s name, ‘Moonrise,’ and the AIPAD presentation while pursuing a proposed commercial AI colourisation venture involving other artists’ estates.”>James Danziger made a response on the Danziger website to Ansel Adams Trust's condemnation by not only mentioning that the image is technically in the public domain, but also wrote: "As for the print itself, while A.I. served as the starting point, the final image involved extensive human intervention, editing, proofing, and refinement over many months."
