https://sipacontest.com/galleryhttps://www.youtube.com/live/MblSCCiWRI0>start 55:55Aside from the "art" (most are obviously photoshopped and have minimal use of AI) this has to be the most pathetic live money laundering event of rich trust fund baby millenials and gen-z I have ever seen.So you just have me believe these are average people interested in photography? Most of these contenders come from 3rd world nations and can purchase high level equipment and have the free time and leisure to do so. If anything these are the upper class of India, Russia, South Africa, Argentina etc.Either way you can see the host just wants to wrap things up from the very beginning. What ever those ladies (in black dresses handing out the awards) behind the scenes are doing is beyond me. When leaving the stage they always need to scratch their butts. Even they dont care for the award winners and dont even give these trust fund babies a glance when handing over the award, which is funny.In regards to skill set, there are truly nice and lovely photos being presented. Some of which would make me happy having them in my portfolio. Others... seems like random images I can find on some tourists smartphone.Question to /p/:Could you do better?Which categories would you excel at?What happened to /p/ weekly or monthly contest?Why dont we try to get an image from /p/ to the upcoming Siena Awards?
>>4503386This pic would likely look better in B&W. There are too many colors making it a bit messy; yellow foreground, bright orange, White Lightning, blue clouds, magenta in the sky, black in the sky
>>4503835I certainly dont believe this was a natural picture or setting and that it was enhanced with AI
>>4503840Looked HDR/overcooked to me but didnt know it was AI.
>>4503853I have no proof this is AI. Just my opinion.P.S does anyone have the feeling one's own mind is getting lazier/dumb due to frequent AI use? e.g prompts like "correct this sentence" etc.? I feel like I cant even structure my own sentences anymore OR I doubt myself alot more than before when writting emails and posting.

Just out of curiosity
>>4501999Agfa's waterproof disposable is quite nice as well.
>>4501602get a reusable disposable like the ilford sprite
>>4501837I actually picked up a cardboard one for 4 euros, cleaned the lenses and glued the mirrors back in place. Fun to use but the cardboard was bending inwards making it near impossible to open and it wasn't very happy with the 120 film spool either.I still need to develop the film but I got a better box camera for 10 euros in the meantime, one that actually works well with 120 film, a Zeiss Ikon one.Will probably get some developer tomorrow and get those negatives ready.
>>4504195With Brownies and other really low end 6x9cm 120 cameras think contact prints (or perhaps a phone screen). A 32" desktop screen does not give justice to the photos.
the funsaver is legit the best disposable but the fuji one is a close 2nd.both cost too much though.
Be honest
Depends. Do you want a camera that does what a Holga does? Then find a cheap one secondhand and have fun with it. Otherwise, just don't get one. It's a one-trick pony, but sometimes that trick is what people want.
>>4501957/thread
>>4501600I reckon you are better off with an agfa clack you can get for under 10 bucks.
I bought one in Tokyo for $10 but never shoot it
>>4501600Most fun camera I've shot.People think my purple one is neat. (shame my multicolored one is busted.)Inspector at Kansai Airport looked at my tape covered one half unsure it was a bomb.pic unrelated

Got a new job and will have expendable income. I've got lots of K-mount Pentax lenses which I like...But should I stop being a Pentax autist? Or is the K-mount ecosystem good to stay in? I've narrowed it down to:>Pentax K‑3 Mark III>Pentax KF>Pentax K‑1 Mark II (Full Frame)I'd also like to swap out my Pentax SF7 with a better body:>Pentax MZ‑S>Pentax Spotmatic>Pentax ESIIDecisions, decisions....
>>4505181research other ecosystems and better cameras whilst you wait for your lenses to sell as well as overcome your Pentism
>>4505182I tried Canon and didn't like the plastic shit. I like vintage lenses for muh creamy bokeh.
>>4502814Redpill me on Mamiya TLRs
Is there a point in having a TG-6 and an EM1-III? That's my setup right now but it feels kind of redundant
contributemostly wanted to experiment with the 'natural' setting on the K10DI think I used -2 saturation, 0 contrast, +1 sharpening but I adjusted it here and thereI also played with color correction in the WB but it wasn't too greatalso, /digishit/ general bread
>>4501730FB marketplace listing>>4504517somebody took this picture on purpose
Since there's no pentax general I'll post here instead. I took this one at 200 ISO
>>4504550And this one at base ISO which is 100 for this camera model (K-7)
>>4504550i'll make one >>4504541i like the trees more
Who's your favorite photographer? For me it's Alec Soth
>>4500375What's the deal with Wolfgang Tillmans?
>>4500375I get the same any time i try to post from any device or computer but this one, an old ass 2015 ipad, All the others say their ip range is blocked, no idea. … and this thing needs to solve a million stupid puzzles to make a post besides. 13 so far & counting to make this post alone. Man after 20 years here, this site is beyond janky, I dont know how it continues honestly.
>>4500375>>4500466It's over /p/ is now dead as fuck. It has never been this slow >ip range is blockedGo to the feedback section of 4chan and report this issue
>>4500466>>4500496>ip range is blockedIf your area uses CG-NAT (it probably does) then it might not even be your doing. Anyone with an infected botnet client in a 100 household radius around you could have triggered an IP ban.Or the loser jannie just wants to be a turd. Both possible.

>>4500660Looks like Linux mint wallpaper
>>4501386>The "Mr. Fixit" sign over the dilapidated building is great contrast, but I don't think the framing with the fence adds to the image. Also the WB seems a bit off.I was messing around in lightroom. Recently I've started liking making the WB lean towards a lavander/aquamarine color.
Give me a quick rundown on this guy.>inb4 a rich nepo kid with ghostwriter
If you read his blog you can tell he's a 120 IQ NPC who babbles on and on about the "photographic experience". You can tell he wants to be an artist. See attached. He isn't and never has been. Nothing profound in his snapshits.>By a similar token, I don’t believe in a conventional definition of street photography; I think of it as something on the documentary spectrum but towards the end where you don’t have a set objective or assignment, and just record what you see. In some ways, that makes it more difficult because you have to make or interpret your own story from a bunch of usually discordant pieces.His site used to be popular and I would always scroll past his slop but he's a lot better than the "gamechanger" "you need this" "stop doing x" crap what we have now e.g. phobloger, petapixel, the zoomer on dpreview etc.
>>4504266there has never been a profound photograph. historical yes. inherently profound no. they’re scans of reality so its literally never something new. photographers run on what the masses think is novel which is forever moving forward and right now, a dying concept that reality increasingly cant satisfy.
>>4504294sad take, I'd hate to be a negative person
>>4504294Holy ESL. Profundity is not the same as novelty.

What would be a good DSLR camera to start learning with? I'd preferably like to get something that I can use for anything and have for years as I don't want to put a TON of money into.Preferably under $2,000High quality build, no janky bullshit that's going to randomly stop working for no reasonHigh MP full frame, preferably over 30, ideally closer to 60 so I have more flexibility with the end resultSomething with add-on options like larger batteries and flashers, etcI'm open to any recs, feel free to share photos you've taken along with the camera you suggest, I'd like to get a feel for what it can do.
>>4504023>Fixed lensIs fixed to one focal length (a weakness)Has better optics, sharper image, smoothet bokeh (trivial)Are usually much "faster" (allows more light, which gives a thinner focus plane and better results in lowlight conditions)Usually quite big and heavy.The 50mm is a typical default, either as f1.8 or 1.4 (better), because it is extremely light and cheap for the sharpness it delivers.>I typically try to take photos from as close to the glass as possible,Wtf, why?Sounds like what you want is a macro lens.I recommend the AF-S 60mm f2.8 micro, or the 105mm f2.8.You will probably be wanting a soeedlight too, if macro is your thing. The SB-600 is a cheap option, which you can trigger wirelessly with a popup flash.>archeological sitesComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Hello, if I am looking for the vintage Canon DSLR experience on a budget, should I prefer a 5D mkI with grip for around 170$ or a Canon 1d mkIII for 100$?
Pick one and stick to it.
>>4504140Mark I for absolutel sovl, Mark II otherwise.The 1D lineup is APS-H which is a 1.3x crop sensor. If you want something like that you need the 1DS lineup.

It's over, lads. I've given up on my Instagram photography page. I watched it slowly die over the years, while other snapshitters gained tens of thousands of followers for posting reels of tHe PrOcEsS and talking about how they made the photo, only for the end result to be "in another post" so you had to check out their profiles, or they'd say "I will post the result if this reel gets X ammount of likes". Apparently people like that nowadays. I never really liked to talk about my art and photography. Always considered that a photo has to "speak" by itself. Either way, I saved some of my favorite shots, and I will dump them here. Bear in mind, they are screenshots of my posts, as I never bothered to back them up to any cloud, and recently my SSD went bonk. Was also too lazy to figure out how that data exportation feature worked on Insta. So I hope you can get over the low quality of the images.Cheers, hope you'll enjoy them. Feel free to criticize them if you want. My only intention is to share them with people who might appreciate them before they all get lost in time, like tears in the rain.
>>4503017The guy isn't wrong. You've got a good eye, but for every decent shot there's 10 stinkers and you're still well within the realm of amateurism. That aside, Instagram is indeed dead when it comes to photos. It's a short form video platform now, just like tiktok. Instagram is very explicit and open about the direction they've taken.Trying to make it big on insta by posting photos in the current year is pants on head retarded.
>>4502906Alright. You lost me here.
aesthetically pleasing images>>4502929this one i dig, because it has more story element to it>>4502911also this one>>4502902cool too>>4502921best one i thinkI think my critique of the work is it feels too safe.It doesn't feel like you took any risks creating these images.Like going into an abandoned house should make me feel something, some danger,but to me it feels a little too just like you were there you took a photo to satisfy style rather than the moment itself
>>4502943Dawg
>>4502943Is this genetic... the feeling wanting to kiss a "dawg", pet it on the head and say "good boy". Crazy how humans and wolves evolved to form such grandios partnerships.
Can someone tell me what lightning equipment I would need, to recreate either of those photos?

More liminal spaces :3i took this photo in the back rooms of a mall
>>4503871Looks like my toddler took this photo
>>4503871I thought this trend died. I was happy. I don't want to see any more laminate spaces.
>>4503890the redditness of it is offputting but I like the images themselves, I find them kind of comfy
>>4503885Bro, calm down, it´s just a photo
>>4503871Based. Sometimes /p/ feels like a liminal space if I'm being so FR.
I made this strawpoll for the entry to the Siena Awards. Ends till 30th June 2026. 3 votes per person max. After category is chosen, lets get some pictures in a thread, choose the best and go to the Siena Awards 2027!Link is either QR code (pic related) or https://strawpoll.com/7MZ0kRk7rgo
>>4503623lmao the comments on the poll are funny. However if anyone here had a great picture to submit he'll probably do so without you, what's the point of passing through your straw poll ?
>>4503756See>>4503677
>>4503759That's just an insult and doesn't answer me tho
>>4503623i think you're getting ahead of yourself OP. we don't have any indication most of /p/ can even produce a photo, let alone a good one, let alone one that can compete in an international contesthow about starting with something small, like the monthly photo challenges of former /p/
>>4503767Yeah this sounds better but it's a time investment and I don't think OP will deliver, I certainly won't I I was him
Why has the world abandoned photo shoots of good looking women?99% of anything I see now is selfies and if its a photoshoot its just to sell clothing or some super generic looking agency testshoot. 10 years ago or whatever the world was full of every good looking girl doing multiple photoshoots just for content. What happened?
>>4502153 I drive trucks in a videogame, does this count?
>>4502153vegan? you really are retarded..
Where do I find my first ever model?
>be famous>have unlimited budged for every shot you make>get good pictureswow
>>4481289the world is saturated with content, and in that world the only thing that matters is e-girls building a parasocial following, and for that they can just use their phones
