>>4497192Ehhh it wasn't a lot, it was all stuff I was looking for from Yahoo Auctions Japan purchased through buyee. A lot of it was listed as junk though. Pic related is the K70 and photos from it. Only real 2 duds from this is the Minolta 50mm 1.4 (oily aperture blades) and one of the K10Ds (took the pic of the K70 with it and the FA 50mm f1.4). Other 2 pics were test shots with the K70 + 50mm 1.4. Its actually kind of insane how much cheaper it is to buy this stuff even with the tariffs and shipping. Americans really get gouged with pricing but it could also be the low yen working in my favor + more availability for Pentax/Minolta. K70 is gonna be my edc/beater camera when I don't want to lug a CCD vintage sovl pos (or need the low light performance without a 4lb FF brick). I really love how these cameras just eat at high ISOs.

>>4497261I've got 58 thread on what I use, so that might work. hmmm.I actually thought you were talking about those teleconverters that go in between the lens and the camera.>>4497280>I bet really old brass lenses with simple designs you could adapt would have significant CA. There are small ones with shorter focal lengths that are not very expensive you could get. They should work fine projection-wise on FF or smaller.Any specific model names that come to mind?

Camera bag this big that doesn't cost hundreds?I need to just steal my dads literally this one. I want to fit all my shit. Too stubborn for a backpack idk this was a solved problem in the 1990s.
I found a hippie in the country who would develop and scan my negatives, but here's the thing, I'm very new to analog photography (new to photography in general, actually) and I needed to know if his offer was a load of crap or not.In this case, he would develop any of my negatives, whether black and white, orthochromatic, c-41 or ecn22, for the price of 5.73 US dollars and would scan them for 2.50 US dollars, that's for each roll, i.e., 36 exposures.I won't know the real quality of the photos unless I test them, but these prices make me very suspicious of this crazy guy.I don't know if it's better for me to develop the negatives at home (if that interferes with the quality of the photo or not) or if I should just send everything to him and that's it.
I asked him for some examples of photos taken using the method we're discussing here, and he sent me these.
>>4496576>>4496577>>4496578Hard to tell if those were properly exposed to begin with, so some of the issues with these might be scan issues but more likely in-camera issues. At the very least, it's cheap. Just send a couple rolls. They don't look to have crazy color shifts, so at least they're getting developed ok.
>>4496576Ask him to send you a scan including the film borders. If the barcode and text on the borders is sharp he's probably doing a good job. Anything else is impossible to tell through WhatsApp + 4chan compression
Well I ordered a used Fujifilm GFX 100s for 3k and the Gf 50mm f3.5 for a little over 600$. I've been doing a series of suburban/urban landscapes late at night and was previously shooting with a Nikon z7ii and the 35mm f1.4 and Voigtlander Nokton 40mm. I think the 50mm should be a pretty good light weight option but I was also looking at adapting some pentax 645 and Mamiya glass. I've also heard the Mitakon 65mm f1.4 is pretty good. Any suggestions or tips for someone who hasn't ever shot digital medium format?

Rate my snapshits
Post cut because 4chan thinks this is spam.I'm gonna be honest, it's quite bad.Most of these are badly exposed:>>4493929>>4493933>>4493948>>4493935>>4493934and as a result have weird colors >>4493929>>4493945This is mainly because you shot those with very harsh light. You need to learn to recognize when there is good light and expose correctly. I recommend understanding exposure by Brian Peterson.
Secondly, you need to work on composition. Shots like these>>4494060>>4494084>>4493957 are very dull. I have no idea what it is you think is worth seeing here. Photography works by discrimination, you have to isolate the picture you want from the rest of the reality in front of you.
Finally, here are shots I think are better than the rest.>>4494067Correctly exposed (a little underexposed but it was hard because the sun is not directly hitting the land in front of you while the sky is still bright) and colors are good, notice that this is because you shot under good light. Sharp focus on the sea creates pleasing textures.>>4493986Here clear separation between different textures makes a cool minimalist picture. Also, correctly exposed despite the expired film.>>4494349Harsh light but exposed correctly. I like the white arches.>>4494059I don't really like this one but I see you tried to do something and that makes it so much better than any of the random snapshits.Thanks for the photo thread

>>4489559u know u can just hold a camera low right instead of getting on the ground. how dumb are u bruh
>>4489554your highlights look awful, i'll ignore the green tint because its nostalgic to me being y2k af.your subjects and angles are boring and I dont know what youre trying to say other than "I AM OBSESSED WITH AESTHETICS" and vibes. Its half hearted and you dont commit enough at all to anything at all.you have to get lower or get high. get close or dont bother.
>>4489486which phone?
>>4489486It's usually better to have not so much going on in the frame, these shots are busy and want to show everything. A chef doesn't have a dish with every flavour, just a few, 3, 4 ingredients fused together.
>>4489486>>4489487>>4489489>>4489491>>4489492I think you are decent at composing but the contrasts and colors are exceptionally awful. I don't know what was the point of dimming the highlights so much but it creates weird burns (>>4489489) and the photo is just generally too dark. This strange green tint makes the colors very unappealing (>>4489486, >>4489491). Only decent photo overall is >>4489487 where the contrast between the red lights and the street make the colors look ok.
What's /p/'s opinion on one of the most viewed (online) photographers?>Sex And Takeout is an ongoing viral series on the unnecessary and unkind social boundaries and cultural taboos forced upon women’s bodies. By indulging in sex and junk food, Bahbah proposes a celebration of the self. Inspired by her personal battle with disordered eating, Sex And Takeout is a declaration of overcoming guilt and shame. Through this series, Bahbah unpacks expectations of femininity and challenges her own standards of beauty.
>>4488006>Eating garbage "food" in excess, without any cultural occasion, tradition, or symbolism but "STOP! TELLING! WOMEN! NOT! TO! GET! FAT!" (read in the claps) is not a celebration of the self. It is degenerated behavior for anyone over the age of 16, regardless of race, religion or culture.Most of these women (at least the ones posted) are a healthy weight Only 2 are fat.

>>4486715>>4488969this smelled so desperate for a (You) I'm giving you one>>4486697OP don't take my question the wrong way, but I see you have a RF mount lens so your camera is relatively new. How afraid are you at any given moment of getting robbed for the camera? I have a R10 and I'm just about to sign for insurance on it because I am, very. It would help to get some outside perspective.
Why is it so orange
>>4496505Because it's in Pakistan.
I will post some more examples.
>>4492532You could always use a technical camera with a 120 back, but I don't really see the point when doing product photography like this unless you really needed the additional DoF that smaller formats afford you.

is ass, I know, but it has suspenseful looks.Any suggestions of how to get nice night photos without a profesional camera?
or even a suggestion on how to improve?
>>4496471A good photo needs good light, which can be faint within limits of your camera and subject. If there is not enough of it for gear getting a "nice" photo may not be possible and you have to do with "evocative imperfection" aka shit. So what kind of camera you do have? Does it have a flash?I'd expect a10+ year old canonikon hobbyist dlsr kit on a tripod or beanbag can take a properly exposed (but likely sucky) photo of a stationary subject almost anywhere in a major city from light pollution alone - with up to 30s or so exposure time and possibly horribly noisy ISO. Moving subjects will be a challenge without using flash.>>4496472Take photos when you find a subject in good light. Or use flash. In situations where your gear is inadequate snap anyway, sometimes the resulting mess is interesting.
>>4496487this. it's all about the light. it's both a meme and the truth.

I'm an amateur photographer, and last year i took some pics (november and december). Here are some of the ones i liked the most
>>4495797No it isn't. There is an actual process, its don't just tiktok colour grading lmfaoMaking the colours that are there interpretable =/= editing colours! Hope this helps! :D
>>4495009Focus in closer, probably faster shutter also and wider apeture to compensate.Might just be a product of your lens but this is quite soft and I think there is some motion blur worsening it.>>4495010Motion blur. What ISO were you using indoors? I assume using auto metering?>>4495011Pick a point to focus on, currently everything is soft and blurry which leaves you with no clear subject.>>4495013Small edits to remove the "haze" of scans but yours don't seem to have that, the colours in all these seem fine to me.
>>4495012Somehow I feel like a shot of this at sunrise or sundown would be even better.
>>4495798>>4495063> Most people don't mess around with the colours of film Although technically correct it's a misleading statement. If you shoot film routinely you will find out the colors are highly dependant on how the scan were made, and many film stocks will look like dogshit if you make them scan by a random shop that doesn't know what they are doing (harmann phoenix...). So yes most people don't edit because they don't give a fuck, yes when you open the jpgs from the shop in lightroom it's already over, but being involved in the color editing process is a big part of film photography in my opinion. And it's actually the same for contrasts, if you are satisfied by the midpoint the scanner from the shop automatically picked for your photos that's great, but if you want a bit of creative control over the image you cannot leave it to the machine.
>>4495009cool contrast >>4495010very blurry>>4495011cool but blurry>>4495012mehCool pictures but the sharpness is shit, are you shooting with an Ektar H35?

I'm still out here.I shoot from time to time.Got involved in an ai startup a few years ago and have been busy.
I need some advice on posing people who are awkward in front of the camera.It's always been my dream to do these kinds of super staged portrait shoots and I've finally built up the confidence to ask some friends to take part in a shoot. However from snapping a few pics of them previously I know that they're kinda awkward in front of the camera and after doing one shoot a while ago I've realized I'm not too confident posing people yet.Making him wear sunglasses helped a bit, but other than that I didn't really know what to do other than instructing him to just look into the distance and that kind of worked.Any advice or shared experience is appreciated. I've heard that you're not supposed to micro-manage your subject's poses to make them look natural, but I'm not quite sure how to actually do that.
>>4496392Okay, also looking at the pic I choose (some random image from my inspo pile) made me realize that maybe some of this feeling of "awkwardness" is subjective, because I know how they look "naturally" and maybe someone who doesn't know them wouldn't realize they're looking off.The guy in the pic might or might not be fully comfortable being photographed, but you can't really tell without knowing him
>>4496392Models needs a bit a time to relax and to assess that they can trust you. I always try to have at least one hour for a photo session, and I go gradually with the pointers.
>>4496392why does he look like he's about to cry then shit his pants kek

Mostly too wide for me.If I go wide I feel like there should have to be a good reason to. Dwarfing a figure in a frame is usually bad I've found. Like you barely ever see a painting like that.Theres too much going on in the frame and pointless stuff, keep clutter away. Just a few patterns, surfaces and shapes is better.This crop is what I mean but the mast is in wrong place so I'd shift he boat further away from guy. There's like four textures

A professional DP shot this. Composition is atrocious. The scene is "lit" horridly, making the bad CGI look even more fake. Color-grading is just plain ugly, everything looks plastic. This triggers my autism more than it should, but I can't be the only one, right?
>A professional DP shot this.It's 90% greenscreen. Barely anything was actually "shot"
>>4495965>It's 90% greenscreenStagecraft is more likely. Pic related was shot in a studio, before a massive LED wall. By a DP who understands light, composition and color, and it earned him an Oscar nom.
>>4495957Anon, those movies are the definition of slop, they know the only people still watching those are kids and retards. No one cares.
>>4495957No idea what movie that is, but my rule of thumb is that if a movie looks this obviously shit, especially if it's a big budget one, chances are the people doing the actual work are painfully aware of it, but just weren't given the time/budget to make it to the standard they would have liked to.People love to complain about bet CGI, but I don't think anyone clocks in in the morning thinking "I'll make some ugly CGI today". More likely it's some poor underpaid overworked artist trying to make the best with what they're given
shot is fineit's for kids not everything needs to be two tone, it needs to stay somewhat faithful to the game palettebetter than the yellow green trashlighting is fine both the CGI and the actors are backlit5/10 bait

>>4495540>90 hours a weekYou need to look at maybe getting a different job mate. Working extremely long hours is not good for your mental health. I know, I've done it. I know that switching is undesirable and stressful. But it would give you a new freedom in life if you did at least shorten your hours.I switched from working long and lonely hours, to working with a few other people, on shorter hours, for the same money, and it was a far better experience.
>>4495561I'm trying but it's just one thing after another. I'm getting a new clutch apparently and that's 5k. I'm breaking even at best and I need to get some money saved up so I can get out of this thing and have a life again. Every time I get a little bit of money something breaks and I'm broke again.The good news is, at this rate I'll have a new truck by the end of the year. The clutch was one of the last wear items left. All I have left now is the injector six pack and the gearbox itself and the engine internals.If I did the inframe, six pack, new cylinder head, new oil cooler, EGR cooler and 13 speed upgrade, I would basically have a new truck good for another 1m miles. It will cost me drastically more than that to buy a new truck. The good news is, now I'm going to have to come home at some point and move my Jaguar now that I got it repaired so that will give me a shot to do some shooting.
>>4495572Fascinating! Can I read more about it on your blog? I'm so interested in your car rebuild.
Yes. Had a year and a half break. Then I got a nice camera and begun taking photos every day again to justify the purchase. Got me back into the rhythm of it. You probably just need a break OP
