hi. I'm making an evangelion:death and rebirth styled LUT and kinda need some RAW files of japanese foliage of whatever to color match. I wanted the LUT to be as faithful to the reference as possible and the only foliage that I can work with are equatorial ones like palm, narra and yakal (i live in the philippines), so having actual japanese foliage for reference would be a big help.thanks in advance :3picrel (latest version of the LUT. I can send the .cube file if you guys are interested).

>>4508754hi, just just looked into the NEFs. Even edited a few ones using the LUT.
>>4508754anyways, the NEFs were very helpful as a reference for the LUT. noticed that the temperate trees all swayed towards the cyan tones rather than the yellows, I adjusted the LUT accordingly. picrel
>>4508754sulfur vents :)gotta sleep now. thanks anon.
>>4508799forgot to put a grain overlay on this one :(
Which is your favorite photobook/s of all time that you can recommend to others? Which photobook/s are your least favorite ones? > FavoritesNew York in color by Ernst Haas. GOAT. Good quality and amazing photography.> Least favoriteMarvin E Newman Photographs 1949 - 1983. Shit binding, a handful of great shots (2-3?), some decent and a lot of shit. Some seems to have really fucked up colors (degraded color negative film?). I dont think whats shown in the book is good enough to be published in this format, a big Coffee table book with many pages. Should have taken the decent shots and put them in a small cheap pocket book. This is a cash grab. Honorable mention to; Ara Gülers Eye of Istanbul, saw a few images from it and was stoked before ordering but those 4-5 are the only really strong images. Lots of boring photos.
I hate any photobook that's "le epic alternative underground of new york"Fuck off with that shit
>>4505359The work of his that I like is very idyllic and a bit vernacular, much of it reminding me of a Texas that I can hardly remember; From Uncertain to Blue is touchingly nativist. Ezekiel's Horse is also fantastic, horses are quite difficult subjects and his composition there is great.
>>4505410Lots of younger american photographers are photographing the shit out of Texas these days. Why is that? Are they nostalgic about 19th century wild west? Lots of cowboys hats and horses. >a bit vernacularHow does he pull this off without falling into cliches?
I'm considering printing one with family photos, but it seems that binding it would be a pain. Seems better to either get it printed somewhere and loose out on QC / ability to fix and reprint individual pages, or print it normally and just put it into a document holder of some sort.
love looking through issues of B&W my mom and aunt have from the 90s and 2000s. I've looked for large archives or scans of them and havent really found any besides a small number on internet archive.

>>4506390I agree but it's pretty close to how it presents in real life so that's how I kept it. But I do agree.
>>4504222It's a random snapshit but the colors and lighting are great nonetheless. Now that I look at it it's probably the best photo ITT.
>>4508293I agree, some of the black and whites especially a couple of the reflections are initially a little more attention grabbing and well composed but the tones in the cloud and sky of the OP image despite it looking less carefully thought about make for a better image that keeps your eye moving around the frame
Theme: TransportationAll submissions must feature transportation—cars, bikes, boats, planes, trains, etc.Vehicles should be capable of transportation so no photos of abandoned, or incomplete vehicles, loose wheels, scrap parts.All photos must be taken during the current challenge month. No old or archived shots.Get creative and enjoy the process. Unique perspectives are encouraged!
>>4507052Very nice. I did a passenger lap in an F-Type around the Ring a few years ago when Jag had Dale Lomas doing rides for them. Was absolutely mega, and sounded amazing.
>>4507063It is a magnificent animal. One of the last real wild things to be produced on that island. Good subject to try out my, "new to me", 300mm f4.
>>4507143Absolutely - I look forward to seeing some results

Anyone getting this? The analog fags crying about its price have not seen top end FF mirrorless digital prices I guess.My main issue with it is that panorama is useless for online sharing, a portrait oriented camera like the Fuji 645 point and shoots make more sense for premium film cameras.
>>4508368>You replying to me is doing the same thing you're complaining aboutI wouldn't have anyone to call out if people stopped doing it to begin with >the only difference is you're not self-aware enough to admit it.The real difference is I don't go around the board being dishonest
>>4508369lying to yourself is dishonest :)
>>4508369Arent you the fuji fanboy whiner that got caught being a photo thief? Collagefag aka partially stolen portfolio fag?
>>4508320You're fucking brain dead.I said the problem is social media, not digital.If you just want wide for social media you can just use a smartphone ultrawide lens and crop it vertically.Widelux is for people who want something different, and analog.Nobody cares if you don't want it. It's happening and people will buy it. It exists for a reason.

>>4508545i like your portraitseven though this one is hazy it's still very nice
>>4508549Thanks>>4508550I don’t thinks it’s the films fault, that was on me learning how to properly expose and the subject also seemed nicer in my head, didn’t manage to properly put my vision into the result. Yes she’s wonderful!
>>4508551Thanks, I would really like to focus a bit more on portraits
Ideally aggressive flash photography.
>>4501121Thanks for the rundown anon, I only have a A11 Flash and one of those Ulanzi RGB lights, hopefully they should be enough.
I used flash on some farm animals one night. They didn’t mind.

Redpill me on screen vs viewfinder debate. Personally I find screen to be way more comfortable. Viewfinder is a total pain in the ass.
>>4498481>>4498479I use both cheap Chinese and Leica M lenses on my Leicas. I also use Japanese made lenses from two brands using the same factory. Come at me.
>>4501997If you can give 21 years younger yourself an advice, what would it be?
>>4497897I use the viewfinder when possible. It blocks out everything around me so I'm more focused on the shot. I'll use the viewfinder for awkward angles

>>4508608>This is from a Bayer sensorThat just makes it even worse.>corner of four thirdsSo because you couldn't post good X-Trans you resort to shitty corners of micro four thirds?Hilarious.>which proves that the "issues" you see on the decently processed images on the right are in your imagination.Nope.That image quality was horrible. Notice how I just said that was awful and didn't claim there were worms.Sensor layout affects quality but the lens and rest matter too. If you post garbage it doesn't matter what sensor was used. Come back when you actually have what you consider to be a good candidate for high quality X-Trans.Also, there's a reason why any serious quality oriented systems either settle for bayer or pan/monochrome. There isn't a single valid use case for X-Trans in any high budget situation. You will never convince museums or archivists that x-trans is anything but inferior Not even Fuji themselves consider it worthy for use on their fancy cameras.You are arguing against reality.
>have OM-1>also have pentax, before I bought the OM-1 bought a lens for the Pentax from camera store, after buying the OM-1 I said fuck it and exchanged that lens for a 12-45mm F4>now bought the 12-100mm F4 because it was on specialI basically have no need for the 12-45mm now. I was thinking I'd keep it because it's smaller but now that I have the 12-100mm it really isn't that big, as I was expecting. So at this point I think I'll sell it, is it worth finding a second hand 12-40 F2.8 for lower light stuff or should I just keep the money?
>>4508621>There isn't a single valid use case for X-Trans in any high budget situation. You will never convince museums or archivists that x-trans is anything but inferior
>>4508720Haha, even cherry picking the meme spot in this scene you x-troons still get completely BTFO.Z6 III is the same megapixels and completely your resolves the X-H1 everywhere.GFX 100 downsampled leads to a much sharper image, with almost no moire.D850 is a meme here because it's perfectly positioned to be in the moire zone.High budget users would have access to better or more suitable equipment. For STARTERS they would fill the frame with the subject when possible or find a sweet spot specifically for avoiding moire (could be moving it slightly) or swap cameras entirely.
>>4508760With its more organic photosite layout which reduces interference patterns, it's easy to see why X-Trans is the choice of discerning archivists.
Psyops used to be believable. How did they go from Apollo 11 to this? This couldn't fool even the ones who fell for WTC7. Even Soviet airbrushing was more believable. How did they reach this level of embarrassment? There's an obvious equivalence between what Jeets post to social media and this. Must be some H1B in charge of making the posts. It's not just the dishonesty but the laziness or incompetence (or both) that goes with it. Disgusting.

>>4432114How come the background gets progressively darker each shot? Is this a metaphor?
>>44321141. Lame but formally doing what you should for a portrait of an elected official2. Too diffused, looks like sludge3. Objectively the best-lit but too editorial4. Same problem but even worse
>>4504423>Objectively the best-litBecause they lit his ears and the hair light blasts through his whole comb over so that you can count every last strand left of it? Your 'objectively' reads 'arguably'
>>4503572I agree with every word of this post.
how many takes do you think it took to capture most of these?

I didn't know it was possible to stack so many. Is this the power of OM System? They must have all been taken in very quick succession.
>>4507860I used a focus stacking PC program so any camera can do it, but MFT depth of field is especially good for macro

What makes Japan such an desired place for photography? I'm really trying to understand the hype around it. When I visited of course the size of Tokyo itself opens lots of opportunities but I quickly notice that it gets repetitive rather fast. All muh taxis look the same, the buildings have a pattern that repeats a lot. If you've seen a few shrines/temples.. in the end they all look the same. Even if you visit other prefectures you won't see much of a difference. Whenever I see camera vlogs or flickr uploads in Japan I now tend to skip because it's always the same. My current number one location would probably be Germany. Still safe enough to bring your camera with you, every state has it's own architectural style. Towns are usually a comfy mix between old medieval houses in the center with grim 60s bauhaus constructions that look really odd. Also home of Leica where this sort of everyday compact photography started. What do you think? What's your prefered location?
>>4507747makes sense to me, it's not like if you don't like taking pictures you'll magically enjoy it just because you're in Japan
I sure do enjoy being there though
IG photographers posting photos of;> Japan> Swim ladders> San Francisco in general> Golden gate bridge> Civic center> Roy’s gas station> Black men, especially with 1990’s sunglasses and dreads> Women posing with their arms above their heads while leaning against a wall> That fucking roadside café in SwitzerlandGets a block from me. Sorry. Thank god I live in such a boring country that is non existant within photography, makes the images more unique and rewarding.
>>4507836>>4507835Japan is so fun it makes you forget about stodgy judeo-western concepts like “square and level”
>>4507890Precisely, just enjoy yourself and learn to unlearn some of the rules :)
I was hiking last week with my camera and when I reached the summit this couple approached me and asked me if I could take a couple pictures of them and asked me how much it would be. I've never charged for a picture so I said it was free, but they insisted and gave me $20 for like 10 pictures. This left me wondering and I started doing some research. I found out people pay THOUSANDS for shitty wedding pictures, also those shitty car pictures with tons of filters on them, people actually charge money for that stuff. What the heck? does this mean I can actually make money with my camera?
