>DISTANCE to subject influences distortion, and FOCAL LENGTH influences background compression.

Not really. And that's what i'm talking about how people became so ignorant.

Distance tricks perspective. Focal length tricks mere field of view.

Take picture with 28mm, crop the center in 50mm or 100mm or 1000mm and compare with actual 50 or 100 or 1000 lens's picture.
The only difference will be the field of view, how wide or narrow the picture.

In other words, in wide picture there is narrow focal length's 'compression' always. You just have to crop it to make it prominent to notice.

It's like people saying people using umbrellas causes rain.

Same in muh Portrait Lenses.

I have one, they are quite ok but they are almost a decade old now. It is one of the few actioncams that has optical stability instead of digital which means that in lower light there isn't that weird jitter effect you have with digital stabilization. This type of model with a 1-inch sensor would have been a great successor.

It has really nice character for one of these ancient digital cameras and works surprisingly well in low light. My only wish is that it had a bit of zoom on it. It's also tiny, and looks enough not like a camera that no one really pays attention to you.

Second place goes to my converted CCTV camera. It's very unwieldy to carry around, but there are a lot of fun c-mount lenses around for cheap. I use it as a webcam and soldering microscope occasionally.

so pretty much what >>4468222 said

Given that it's not made anymore, just use whatever fresh slide film you can get, and consider a polarizing filter as well.

And since E100 is basically all you can get now you might also want a warming filter for that.

I've heard even Gold 200 with a polarizer can give similar results so that might also be worth a try.

I like using my Olympus XA rangefinder, mainly because it's tiny and I can carry around in a pant pocket for random family photos whenever we go out.
I have no interest in lugging around my SLR when we go to a diner or concert.
>>4467778
There's a weird amount of people that consider the "feel" and "sound" of the shutter and film advance to be a significant factor in how much they like a camera.
IMO the only things that matter are ergonomics, features, and image quality.
>>
>>4451975
DESU I'd recommend you do try a Leica. Just go to your local Leica store with your credit card and a roll of film. ask them to look at some of the cameras. Eventually ask to look at one of their film bodies. After you chat with the salesperson for a half hour or so, ask them if it would be possible to do a walk around with the camera. You will need collateral, a card that can cover the camera if you lose/steal it, or gear insurance for rentals that would cover it in case of loss.

I regularly walk around with their bodies and it's always an enjoyable experience, just remember that it's polite to buy something every once in a while. I usually pick up the latest issue of the LFI magazine while I'm there.

While I do like their film bodies, I also tried a digital rangefinder that had no screen. It's quite literally the closest you can get to shooting film without having to actually shoot film, although I really enjoyed my experience with the MP. Nothing beats the feel and ritual of shooting film.

Hey guys! I've been shooting a DIY documentary in the observatory mode for over a year now about a local band. Throughout the year, I've shot the band throughout their everyday life and interviewed the members one-on-one in talking head segments. I plan to intercut the "fly-on-the-wall" moments with the talking heads. However, I can't think of any other documentaries that have done this off the top of my head (with the exception of Tiger King). I'd like to watch a few films in this style so I can get a better idea on pacing/editing. Do you guys have any documentary recommendations in the observatory mode with talking-head interviews? Especially if it's a music doc? Thanks!!!

Watched the video. Basically it's street, but you're more likely to get shot, shelled and kidnapped. Also your camera suffers more wear.
Shooting nothing but manual seems like a flex. Cool that he's shooting in war zones so that I have pictures to go with my morning news, but I think most YouTube reviewers give better gear advice than this guy. It's clearly not his forte.

to people who are too afraid to use their camera in public I always say this : get in a habit of taking all of your clothes off in crowded settings. There is going to be enough people that nobody notices what you are doing. You can to this once a week, even twice a week if you've got the time. Once your dick/titties start feeling cold you can put back everything and continue your day.
After about six months of doing this pulling your camera out in public should be a no brainer

I'm practically a bit new at photography myself.
I sometimes struggle with this even though I know in my mind nobody really gives a fuck.
I'm unattractive, skinnyfat and not exactly a looker. But it's only when my hair is really unkempt that I seem like a threat to anyone. Recently I had to visit a friend and her neighbor thought I was a rapist. She was following every anti-rapist rule in the book. Kinda bummed me out.
Anyways I never try to focus or point at anyone directly. I believe it's better to practically advertise that I'm using a camera rather than try to hide it from people. I try to hold the camera at a level that it's obvious that I'm holding a camera essentially, and that I'm taking pictures.
The results are that most of the time people don't give a fuck, once I got a few looks, once I captured plenty of people looking in my general direction because I decided to go for that rather than lose a shot. About once or twice I actually got asked to take a few pictures. So not everyone wants photographers (or people like me who are just getting into it I guess) to fuck themselves. It might seem like that because smartphones exist, and most people are retarded and think they replaced cameras completely. So it's not like everyone's walking around with a camera not attached to a phone.
It does however get much easier if you have company. I guess like almost anything really. You bring a friend and it's much easier to just pop out the camera and take pictures of fucking everything. But good luck with that thing, having friends.

Personally, I am struggling with the same thing and it all started with me being raped. I’m not afraid to say it.
I drive a mobility scooter, and I was taking photos late at night and got invited to a party at an immigrant housing project and I don’t speak Somali so I thought they were all being friendly.
They carried me up the stairs, leaving my scooter in the lobby.
For the next several days, I was raped by multiple men, and I found out afterwards that they were renting me out for sex very cheap.
My mobility scooter was stolen, but I luckily got a new one.
After this, I was afraid of going out at night and started photographing at schools. Which got me into legal problems.

But I’m working on myself to get my confidence back.
>>
I noticed when taking pictures out there with some people around that they will just fuck off.
I'm pointing my camera at a building, a set of stairs, whatever the fuck, and all I will get is "whoops sorry I'll move out of the way".
Yesterday I was taking a picture of a random building and this cute lady just passed by quickly while crouching as if I would even give a fuck about accidentally taking a shot when all I'm doing is pointing at something that's not going to move.
For as much as I dread getting someone angry at me because I took a picture of them without my permission, I don't exactly like having people apologize to me for walking, I don't own the streets.
