If I shoot kodak gold on my om1 vs my Nikon d800 it’s a huge difference.
I don’t think the digital photo has ever once looked nicer.
Film has nicer colours at the start and even nicer with a few tweaks. It renders light and contrast differently as well.

As with everything, the shortcut wins so digital replaced film while not looking as nice. If you truely care about getting nice images over all else even in 2026 you shout film not digital.

Not sure what kind of pictures I can share—nothing particularly fancy or interesting from the past two months.

I suspect the images might end up being used to argue about the “superiority” of one piece of hardware over another, which isn’t very productive in my opinion. At the moment, I’m only using the Mamiya 80mm f/2.8 AF, so there isn’t much variety in the shots anyway.

I can share RAW files later, but if the goal is to compare hardware performance, that really requires controlled tests. For me, it’s more about whether I like the results without having to heavily tweak the RAW files just to get pleasing colors. From what I’ve seen, I actually prefer the output from the Canon 5D (classic) over Sony bodies, although Sony performs better in low-light conditions.

The P65+ is excellent when there’s plenty of light—colors come out the way I like with minimal adjustment, and I’m satisfied with the results

Thats pretty good. Try ETTL with flash if you havent already. Those backs really excel in a studio setting. I've got a emotion 75H and a leaf aptus with the same sensor. They're annoying cameras to use and technically demanding, but the pictures are definitely worth it.

>>4501805
anon what do you think phones use

I don't think I've ever had to deal with halos, and I'm not sure how it turned out this way. The only sharpening I apply is a light unsharp mask just after downsampling.

>>4501841
Tiny sensors, shit optics, and a lot of slop post processing?

>>4501844
if your camera settings are ideal you won't have to use much sharpening, people get artifacts from turd polishing with the cope slider trying to undo the fact that they missed focus again

>>4501845
Yes yes and yes, but also a bayer filter.

Use Stellarium - and you won't need help from anonymous homosexuals ever again.

There's also a book Turn Left at Orion, more for telescope users, but it points your attention to things you typically see throughout the year. Coincidentally, these days you'd see Orion, which is hands down the best constellation.

It's an ok photo, but that's all there is to say.
There is nothing that makes this picture interesting. Think of it this way: nowadays people can entretain themselves with a million different things on and off the internet, and sadly don't have the attention span to endure a 30 second video. Why would anyone look twice at a picture of a road? The scene, the composition, the colors are good, but there is nothing that makes this stand out, there is no story being told. What if a deer was crossing the road? A cyclist? What if you framed this through a clearing in the leaves? What if it was taken from an unusual angle?

So many companies don't really care about people, they only care about their social image and money.

Why. What are the benefits?

>>4501414
NTA but being able to dictate the order of processing operations is neat for more experimentally minded people, or people who are trying to dial in things in an uber-specific way. i hate it though, rawtherapee is the best free one, with the benefits being that it's the best and it's free.

>>4501409
Lol what a shit take. Adobe is bad and its subscription and mandatory creative cloud are bad but LR still cannot be topped by presentable results. Maybe C1 comes close.
Darktable is just shit with shit results having a miriad of modules that only capable of missing the point in a miriad of ways. Even RawTheRapist runs circles around it just for having normal controls.
Darktable was shit back then and somehow they managed to make it shittier now, it will never be good, lol
If you want results you will end up using LR either by succumbing to the subscription machine or sailing the seven seas. It will give you results. And I am not talking about AI tools sloppery.

Uss a lightmeter and your eyes for a really long time and you'll get there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_tap

>>4500336
It's a science and not really easy to fuck up once you know the formula. There is also a lot of flexibility in editing when it is slightly too bright or dark, and adjusting colors.

>>4500336
Film for movie stock is a bit different than film stock for photography. The stuff is much more carefully calibrated for exact ISO and color characteristics. Usually you buy film like that in blocks, that is, large reels made from the same lot. You could do this in film photography too. The stuff Macy I also 64 but it will include something on it that gives you exact reading if it's out by a third of a stop or more like ISO 50 or ISO 80.

You also do test bits of footage on the film testing out lighting etc etc and that's why you watch the dailies. To look at any weaknesses or errors in exposure or color balance

>>4500336
You'd just get used to it. It's like how a lot of people that have been using cameras will know how the exposure will look based on the shutter speed, aperture and ISO without having to look at a light meters.
Say you wanted a standard midday sunny scene, 1/250 with f/8 and 100-400ISO will look pretty good.

>Normies like to see a perfectly white background
I've noticed this too after studying a bunch of other brands and had to change my webdesign entirely because of it. Originally I wanted a kind of night / sky blue cloud themed background but that shit won't fly.
What's the best way to achieve a perfectly white background from your experience ?
The only place I'll be able to shoot is in my garage

>>4500787
Garage is perfect for a starter studio, you can buy these big rolls of background paper you can even lay it on the ground, have bend up on the wall towards the roll. Make sure it extends under the camera so you can use a clean pair of slippers so you won't leave footprints. Buy a set of comfy dark/black clothes so your presence dont reflect color light back into your subject, it is a nightmare to tone down such color casts and impossible to remove.

Get a tripod as well, a travel tripod will do or a used metal one but avoid the Amazon Basics and generic chinese tripods, they are made out of jello and you will be wondering why all your shots are blurry due to wobbling.

>>4500262
>>200k is regular mileage
>I have no idea what this means or how to check it
He means that a shutter count of 200,000, i.e. a camera which has had its shutter actuated 200,00 times, is a normal range of actuations for a used camera to have, and not something to worry about.
Usually sellers will list the shutter count in the listing. If they don't, you can ask for it.

Do you try to keep your distance when using flash? You kinda gotta get up in peoples shit to make it look somewhat decent


Picrel
I was using an IR camera with 3 different filters stacked + a modified flash unit that only outputs infrared light that visible to the human eye.
I use this for extra dark enviorments

>>4501121
Thanks for the rundown anon, I only have a A11 Flash and one of those Ulanzi RGB lights, hopefully they should be enough.

>>4501042
look... this is just bad JPEG processing. Developing the RAW file competently would give DSLR-like results.

>>4501117
It doesn't unfortunately, they still force the AI smudge bullshit even in the RAW files. You don't get to have true RAW.

>>4501117
Really? Then share some RAWs or articles comparing them to big boy cameras so we can see the results. Ideally some that aren't shots of mountains at high noon.

>>4501117
>look... this is just bad JPEG processing
This. No different than shooting with a Sony camera.

We learned this shit in elementary school. Glue sticks for making ad-hoc books. Since zoomers are taught to use ipads by clueless boomers who think “tech is the future” and never adapt to reality because the old fucks think the new generations duty is to become beings of light that live in cyberspace, well, they can get fucked. I hope they suffer.

Feel like this thread really took off once OP fucked up

>>4500864
He should have started off the thread by declaring the best way to glue photographs ever was with either super glue or a low temp glue gun and if you don't use those you're a retard idiot.

>>4500865
I mean the glue gun worked quite well to be honest. I feared it would heat up the photo and warp it but it actually didn't . It felt really flimsy however, thats why I tried to reinforce it with super clue, but it literally deteriorated the photo once it came in contact with it. (The front side of the photo that is). But I only really applied the superglue to the back, and only a small amount came in contact with the front side of the photo (by accident). I mean it isnt that deep i have the photos saved on my laptop.

But it taught me that this forum is only for the shits and the giggles. Not for actually helping people. Tis a shame really

I took this new-ish Fortran traffic light when I was visiting my friend. Sorry for the quality, I had to rush before the light turned red, and a cop was directing traffic. I also couldn't upload the raw image due to 4chan's file size limit.

I found these pair of 3M lights when visiting a nice friend. I don't come down this area as often, so it was quite a surprise to see them. This makes me hopeful that small towns kept their old traffic lights. Watching them get replaced with new LEDs is a stark reminder of my mortality at times.
