>Nocturnal photography (also referred to as night photography) refers to the practice of taking photographs outdoors between dusk and dawn, when natural light is minimal or nonexistent.>The low-light conditions night photographers work in require specialized techniques to achieve proper exposure, including long exposures—ranging from several seconds to days—higher ISO sensitivity, or artificial lighting.>The genre encompasses a wide range of subjects, including urban and rural landscapes, architecture, industrial sites, and astrophotography.Post your night photos!

nightfags, for what do you expose? I'm a newfag and best I came up with is point meter to the brightest thing like a lamp and overexpose by like 2 (my camera only shows scale to 2 and if you're over 2) so it's not blown, and surroundings are still dark cause I don't want a bright night photo
>>4513065Note: this is only a problem if you live in the Eastern Bloc, Detroit, downtown Nashville, New York, SoCal, Toronto, Vancouver, London, or Florida.If you live in a civilised part of the world, then yes you can use a tripod at your discretion.
hai!! ive never used 4chan so im kinda a little confused on how to make postsi thought this was a cool photograph that i had taken on a school camp and i want to show people of the public, i shot this with a panasonic lumix g7, criticism and thoughts would be nice !!
>>4519211>>4519231>>4519233>>4519234It's good for a beginner because I can see you are going for a specific tone in the lighting and colors and you are using subjects to anchor the scene. So you're doing the work to get better.Now for the pictures to get outside of the beginner realm you would need a better cohesive theme between the pictures, or something unique in the style or visual elements. You also need to work on your colors and contrasts. >>4519233is pretty bad in this regard, the colors are unnatural, the contrasts washed out and hazy, and the whites are blowing out.
>>4519211Based West Gippsland enjoyer (I assume that's where it is anyway). First photo is your best photo, but the others are pretty alright considering you don't know much about photography.

Okay it's been a while since we've had these so...Let's start by posting the guy I visualize when I see a streetfag here on /p/. I'll post his work below, he really encompasses the creepy streetfag vibe. He's not unlike the freaks immortalized in Dario Argento's and Brian De Palma's classic gialli. His work is the validation of Susan Sontag's perception of photography as a form of rape.His name is not unlike that of the psychos in the horror thriller canon. Smooth Leg Greg, not unlike Buffalo Bill, Dale Longlegs, or Leatherface.Am I wrong in my perception? Anyways, street photography thread.
>>4519987But he's not a tranny. In fact, /fa/ trannies like MWAHnon have expressed disgust at the fact that he's a "cis gay". He's a wannabe androgynous faggot.
>>4519938He's worse than a zoophile, even the French directors he lives so much say cinephilia is a disease and a perversion.
>>4520008I assume you meant "he likes so much" and no, other than Chris Marker I'm not a big fan of the French. I much prefer Italians.
>>4519977He literally posted photography though. CDS is getting out of hand, he posts and people lose their grip on reality.
This thread is now officially blessed by smooth legs Greg, as seen in the following post: >>>/fa/18748099
It is time.
>>4520224I don't think Ill post any more as the captcha is angering me.

Have a photato.Saw the fair ground was left unlocked at 3am so drove in, kek. Woke up some carnies so only had a few seconds to get some snapshits.
I'll start this off, just upgraded from my aging FF to a new APS-C and I feel much more at home. Does anyone else came back to the forbidden fruit?
>>4520694Source of the image btw. It's m43 of course, given that /p is made of refugees from DPreview m43 forum.https://www.dpreview.com/sample-galleries/3632672590/om-system-om-1-mark-ii-sample-gallery/3043540761/
>>4520657>No L-Mount pancakesNot true actually, I checked the website and Panasonic and Leica both make at least one pancake.
>>4520694Who told you that SOOC jpegs have identical resolving power to RAW files on any camera? Just blatantly untrue.
>>4520726A camera JPEG is produced from RAW data which is discarded if in JPEG only mode.On Pentax cameras you can press a button to save the last recorded RAW file from the buffer while in JPEG mode.Sharpness in the RAW data is the same in either process.
>>4519845new thread >>4520738
>>4512395Yup, up 5ish, usually go for morning walk around 6ish. Love seeing the sunrise, and how the light changes all around.

No exposure bracketing, OP?
>>4514799why?
>>4520492Nta, but he asked because your sky is exposed nicely and your foreground (60% of your image) is simply underexposed.Don't get me wrong, it's not *that* bad because dark things should look dark, but even a mild bracket of 1 stop would have made the foreground actually viewable.
Redwood EditionPreviously: >>4510615
>>4519336No problem, and by the way, the 12-60 is still a good and very versatile lens. Compact for hiking, reasonably sharp, you can have a lot of fun with it.
>>4520293I returned my 12-60 quick. Sharp? In a 4x6. Not otherwise. Not if cropped. The olympus 12-45 is actually sharp. I had a bad time with other lumix lenses.>20/1.7Noise banding. It has EMI issues. >45 macroCrashed the firmware, occasionally refused to focus>42.4/1.7Decentered NIB, noisy autofocusM43 is almost good but you HAVE TO only use olympus lenses and olympus cameras. Panasonic is a retarded sideshow. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>4520294My 12-60 (the PL) one is good. All the Panasonic lenses, even the Leica branded ones, have awful variance. Olympus is way more consistent and honestly the cameras were just better.
>>4520299I genuinely think micro four thirds only did poorly because half of it was panasonic. Olympus has so much more experience as a camera company, and it shows. Panasonic is a generic consumer electronics company that uses focus groups, engineers, and committees to design everything. M43 is not appreciably different than canon’s 1.6x
>>4520315I think you're right. m43 comes out in 2008 and it enjoyed some good advantages by being small and all the other mirrorless advantages. Sony comes out in 2009 with its NEX which was just as small and APS-C but the two were pretty competitive for a while but Panasonic got a lot of help from the popularity of the GH series. 2012 rolls around and Sony puts in phase detect and it wasn't until 2023 until Panasonic did the same. That's over a decade of people complaining, rightfully so, about the bad autofocus in Panasonic cameras compared to everyone else especially for video which is why people even cared about Panasonic in the first place. That's over a decade of negative m43 experience because Panasonic was too proud to dump DfD.The m43 alliance was also stupid. Both of them had weather sealed lenses but they weren't designed to be cross brand compatible. Both systems had optical stabilized lenses but they wouldn't work together with the built in systems; it was same brand only if you wanted full stabilization. Even plain lenses had issues like when you could get purple flare if you used certain Panasonic lenses on Olympus. Both companies abandoning the ultra compact body segment is a mistake. Panasonic refusing to update the 20/1.7 pancake to have good autofocus is a blunder. It's a sorry state when a lot of m43 people are hoping the chinese will pick up the slack.
Any cheaper hobbies to replace photography?Photography was a reason I'd blindly go walk into a nature reserve, I don't want to lose that without some form of alternative.
>>4513388I do this with every board, you'd be amazed how many people seethe when you simply ask them how often they engage with the boards topic
>>4513388>No other board ots has this retarded implicit need to provide a photo with any talking point you might submitFalse.
>>4517201One of the easy ways to spot bullshitters is just asking for simple specifics about something, and seeing how they are unable to answer direct questions
>>4508439Photography.Your problem isn't that photography is expensive, your problem is that you're gearfagging. Stop gearfagging and just take nice pictures with whatever you got.
>>4513819Practice makes perfect :)>>4513707Thanks for this anon, I've written down your main talking points for future reference. Renormalise negative criticism. It's okay to be upset at being sold a worse product for more money.
Redpill me on screen vs viewfinder debate. Personally I find screen to be way more comfortable. Viewfinder is a total pain in the ass.
OVF>>>>>>>>>everything else. All y'all are pussy ass electrobabby bitches
>>4497897I used to prefer VF. But when I started wearing prescription glasses, I can't be bothered removing it. I now just use the screen.
>>4497897I like using both at the same timeOVF is more enjoyable, but EVF is more functional
>>4497929Pressing the body of the camera against your face to use the viewfinder works to help stabilise the camera because it creates a third point of contact, which ironically is literally EXACTLY the same reason shouldering a stock helps stabilise the widdle army man's rifle, from a physics perspective.You are either baiting or retarded. If the latter, sorry you had to find out this way bro.
>>4519565>Bean bagOh noooooooo my $2000 McCockson Phloginator lens got a scratchy watchy!!!! :(((((Grow up, scratches and scuffs are what happens when you actually fucking use a tool and don't just let it collect dust, as long as it's not on an important part (the glass) who fucking cares. Yes you should take care of your tools but babying your shit is a waste of time. If the lens can't survive something so apocalyptic as being set against a fucking tree or a rock then it was a shitty lens unworthy of existence.>But it'll hurt the resale value when I get buyer's remorse and realise I'm a retard that paid way too much for something I never use and need to recoup my investment!!!GOOD. That is as it should be. Used gear costs less because we have no fucking clue how good it really is on the inside or how much longer it'll last, deal with it.
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.
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
