>>44783761/1.33" is common as fuck these days (3/4 of an inch). Pretty sure the 2021 Google Pixel had that so I'd be fuckin floored if the iPhone isn't doing better than it in 2025
>>4478382Only the Japanese (Sony, Sharp) and Chinese (Xiaomi, Ulefone, vivo, Huawei) do 1" and above in smartphones, American and Korean brands do not care.
>>4478382The 1/x" sensor type is a relic of video camera tube era. It does not mean diagonal.1/1.33" type sensor diagonal is 12mm, less than 1/2 inch. And 1" type diagonal is 16mm.
>>44827831" cameras aren't actually 1" either. I guess I should have said 3/4 of a 1" sensor.
>>4478233I just think it looks neat

Time to upgrade EditionPrevious: >>4480513
Rate this set up.
What's good in the world of lights for indoor work? I see some guide recommending me to buy a TT600 and a remote, but I want to be cheap. Anything decent enough I can get second hand?
>>4483221Get a GoPro
I'm currently working on my masters in ancient Greek archaeology. Now part of my research involves going around lesser known ancient sites and museums taking good technical photos. So far my current setup is not so handy. I'm using a bag insert to turn my regular bag into a day bag/camera bag. My budget is like 200ishWhat I really need is a backpack that can hold a tripod, notebook or two, a laptop, and a nikon d850 with 3 or so lenses one of those being a large telephoto lens. Id really like to have one that comes with a waterproof covering I can put on the backpack as parts of Greece gets a lot of rain outside of summer. This is also so it can be covered from dirt if I bring it on a dig site.Id like something that I can take to the lab and school while also using for field excursions. I'm in the US at the moment so I'd like to buy it here and then take it back to Greece with me.
>>4484371Go look on china.comCan get smallish 30x20cm camera backpacks with customisable velcro compartment for a fiver and larger 50x 30cm for 20-40$. Larger ones have side straps for tripods and separate compartments for clothes etc and a flat compartment for laptops/notebooks. Also a side flap so you can just pull out your cam, snap a few and put it back easy. I used a smaller one for a couple of years for shoots but didn't need to carry around tripods and flashes as studios have them in situ. It was great, no damage in that time. I just upgraded to a larger one for about 10$ but it's more flimsy than the small one but it was just to test if the larger one meets my needs better and it's still more than good enough for 6-12 months. Will upgrade again at some point to a more rugged +20-50$ as I don't fully trust it for my larger heavier glass for long walks or location days but I can carry around two bodies, 4-5 lenses, flashes and triggers no problem.For those prices you can buy and try a couple then buy the legit k&f concept or other brand ones for +50$ if you don't trust them but they're basically the same. Many of them come with waterproof outer covers but the bag itself is sufficient unless you're walking around in a rainstorm for hours. You should wrap items in plastic in the bag anyway until reaching location and practice lens swaps inside the backpack or plastic bags, especially for dusty or desert environments. IMO sand and dust are much bigger risk/issue to glass, especially zooms with moving parts and shutters/sensors than rainwater.
Anon, what is in your travel kit?Mine see picrelated. Leaving for a 10day trip in two hours. That's what I take with me.I hope I learn something on the trip and in the future won't take two lenses - but only one.

>>4477799Looks worse
>>4478107>That was intentional so that people could figure out this was a small pool on a rock and not some big huge lakeI think it's pretty clear anyway.
How could he take such nice pictures with this jank?
>>4483658Read his writing you couldn't be more wrong. He hated automation and coomsumer technology. He'd still be using a view camera today.
Incel Adams would have agreed with all my personal opinions and would not have been a gearfag, but he also would have used a phase one and also loved communism also I am gay.
>>4483658>>4483660>Ansel would be a filthy digislug like us even though reach was such an important aspect of his work and digital hasn't surpassed film yet
>How could he take such nice pictures with this jank?>4x5 babby formatlmao he didn'there's a real camera
>>4483658he loved view cameras but he also used a hasselblad a bunch I think he would spend a lot of time perfecting his raw editing technique since he was very autistic about the dark room process >Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships
What’s a decent home printer that prints up to A3 size? I want to print my stuff at home and skip the hassle of getting prints online or at a local store. Yes, I want problems. Anyway, let’s make this a general printer thread.>What’s your experience been like printing your own photos?>Did you print them yourself or professionally?>Have you had bad experiences with any brands, companies or websites? and vice-versa?
>>4482866Yeah, glad I did, and very happy with the results now. All credit to my /g/-tier autism and Keith Cooper.Some cash had to go for power cleaning and a bunch of papers while I was clueless as to what the problem was, but in the end it's still a big discount compared to getting a brand new one. And in case anyone's wondering, here's what it looks like when you print on the wrong side of Epson's 4x6 photo paper.
>>4483018i did that too. a little annoying how the other side is unusable
>>4483063Well, it kinda makes sense with the fact that for a surface that can take high quality photo prints, it needs specialized coatings. So two sided printable paper is more expensive, and apparently doesn't make sense to produce at scale for the small formats (that usually go in frames or albums). Sizes around A4 are available double sided with the idea that you can make books/brochures with them.
>>4483149I meant unusable even for regular printing like on regular paper. Would be nice to be able to put the date, maybe exif, or a comment.
>>4483155Could also just be a fact of material science that the best base material for these photo papers is also shit when uncoated. Idk.
I was looking around in my city for a public/community shared darkroom/print space as I don’t have the space to do it at home and found a place that sounds great as far as the facilities go, but the people running it and their whole mission seems to be progressive woke womyn run and focused. Not explicitly, they supposedly “welcome everyone” but like picrel just says it all. I looked around for other options and basically every artists group here is the same, the school of art, open art spaces, even the local “hacker/makerspace” seems to be a tranny daycare. Just maximum virtue signalling buzzwords and labels type of people, and it seems you can’t find just a basic “normal” non-political photography group. What’s up with that? Are we really just outliers on here? Like I’m still tempted cause it’s only 35 bucks a year for 24/7 darkroom access but I’d basically have to do maximum power level hiding at all times. Wonder if it’s worth it. How have you all found other photographers to be? Is this the nature of “creative” pursuits? Were the wokeys right, conservatives can’t into art?
>>4481747>24/7 accessIs it like a gym with a swipe card or some shit? Genuinely interested in how they manage 24/7 access. Regardless of whether they were bearable people or not, it would still be more convenient to use at a time when nobody else is there. Especially if you're doing colour and some other cunt wants to use the red light or vice versa.
>>4483435I think it’s some kind of PIN code based thing like some apartments or security doors. It’s in a commercial building so I imagine it’s always lit at least but I actually haven’t been round there at night. I’m op btw I figure I’ll join it anyway just so I can get around to printing but I haven’t done it yet, it’s “downtown” and I live in the burbs so it’s not a simple drop by thing, but i think once I stockpile some more negatives I’ll finally go and bang out some prints. Maybe there’ll be less people around at night too.

Last year, someone started a great thread about Paris Photo. Here are a few shots I took at this year’s edition on Thursday morning before the official opening. I went back last night to pick up two more photobooks. Enjoy, and feel free to contribute if you attended as well.

>>4472742This is better.Infamous(SELECT WORKS)2019“Infamous” is an exhibition imbued with the patina of tainted history. It tells a story of infamy with varying degrees of bigotry and insensitivity. Although we want to believe that what happened in the past stays in the past, history proves us wrong. There will always be new victims to attack and marginalize, new scapegoats to replace the old ones proving that Man's inhumanity to Man has no limits. We can choose to look the other way but it doesn't make it any better. Included in this work is a portrait of one of the most infamous figures of the 21st century. History is not a pretty picture. It rarely is. Warning: Contains graphic content.

Kodak ZI8.
>>4483068Man, that takes me back. Remember when Flip cameras were all the rage for what, two or three years there, before “smartphones” really took over? I had a Kodak one that had jelly video like crazy but it could do 720p! Used it quite a bit lol.
>>4483080The ZI8 had a few advantages over the Flip>1080p instead of 720p>Used SD cards instead of internal memory>Mic jack>Image stabilization (whatever that consisted of)I remember I had a "rig" for mine that consisted of a cheap "L" bracket with a couple of cold-shoe mounts that I used for the mic and for an external light. Yeah, it was an interesting time. Smartphones were around, but they hadn't completely taken over. And even then, the cameras on them were just "okay." So to get full HD in something that fit in your pocket AND was under $200 was pretty cool.

The worst part of photography school is paying for the fees, but the facilities and tutors are really good where I am. I might drop out after I get what I want out of it. It forced me to learn how to photograph and meter properly, use composition, understand lighting, and edit in post-production—all things that amateurs struggle with because they can’t ask a professional for tips.
>>4482865What about you post pictures instead of bitching about /p/ and being a loser?
>>4482891I want to have a career instead of being a hobbyfag like you
>>4482893>I'm doing it for my mental health because I have paranoid schizophrenia and need art therapy.>I want to have a career instead of being a hobbyfag like youpretentious lying fag still haven't posted any pics of your catalog. Something tells me that it'll be some street shit
>>4482904Here. Critique it all you want. I am trying to get better.Wanting a career and doing it for therapy aren't mutually exclusive but I guess I have cognitive dissonance over what I want to do. I just want to get good at photography, and that is it.
>>4482908Meh it's ok honestly, the top left is too empty, you could've shopped the cloud to put it up so you would have a symmetry of the cloud around the cross-pigeon axis. The position of the pigeon is nice you can clearly tell it's taking off from the cross and gives a sensation of leaving the frame. Of course there's the angel symbolism but that's overdone and the bird is a pigeon. For the colour grading it's not bad but the eye and feet of the bird are almost purple and orange. The grains help a lot to give this religious style, I'm sure a smooth version would not be pleasant to watch. Honestly good picture just not that interesting / deep.
Okay so in short, I'm part of a horticultural society that has a yearly photo contest. The voting for the contest recently ended a couple of days ago but the winners won't be announced for a while. I want your opinion on the entrants to the contest. I'm not going to tell you which are mine, because I don't want your bias to taint your analysis. I will tell you that 6 of the 34 pictures are mine, so feel free to guess which are mine. I do have a fairly consistent style. Here's the images: https://www.ahsregion4.org/photos/PhotoContest/2025/2025_R4-Cat_1-Single_and_Multiple_Blooms-no_names.pdf
>>4477397Are the winners announced yet?
>>4477399No, they'll be announced in the next Region 4 newsletter.
>>4477406When will that be?
>>4477343I like the 18th one the most.
What is everyone's least favorite picture from those 34? I wanna see something.
