>>4529689You're right but why so rude?
>>4527282Set white balance to K and dial in your color temperature manually so it looks as close to real life as possible. I don''t think playing with hues will be productive here. Auto WB makes warm lights cold and cold lights warm to even everything out to middle gray and that's often not desirable.Set your exposure manually so it looks as close to the real life as possible. At night this could mean underexposing by 1 to 2 stops. At night cameras will boost exposure and by extension ISO as high as possible to make dark areas not dark but gray. This should cut down the noise significantly.Play with DR settings in your camera (DR200 and DR400). They can help protect the highlights at the cost of extra noise in the shadows. Decide if you like the results yourself. Those settings can be a hit or miss.

>>4531177Somehow, he's a good B&W photographer; he just doesn't understand what makes a good color image, which he shoots 99% of the time. Someone needs to force him to shoot a Pentax K3III Monochrome for the rest of his life. At gunpoint.
>>4529871Slide film doesn't have that much latitude. Ken chose to let the clouds blow out.
>>4531227>200% clarity halos>good
>>4531269It's part of the aesthetic :^)
>>4531269Noticed that after I posted it lol, but it would be a good image without the artifacts. His fault for shooting JPEG
>>4530731I think i'm gonna go for the kenko 45 for the simple reason I like this focale. I was aware of the 28mm but I actually dislike the super wide effect. I guess it's half a question of preference and half a question of subject, because I can imagine 85mm or more being manageable for nature scenes where surroundings are big and there's ample space to move around, but taking photos from the road biking like I do it happens a lot that I cannot move much from where I see a composition, so a standard focale is more convenient.>>4531063Thanks! me too actually. Gonna take some time though I think, because I rely a lot on the weather for good light and 90% of the day are just cloudy here.
>>4531087Let me quote some tips I got from a Pictorialist in an email:1 - For city scenes and landscapes Pictorialists rarely, if ever, used soft focus lenses. They used rectilinear lenses/fully corrected optics (which could mean soft focus lenses stopped down to f/20 or lower, but often didn't). 2 - Pictorialist sense of light, luminosity, tone range comes _not_ from the scene, but from working the image between negative processing and printing. They did all kinds of things to an image before it ever went to final print. [Oil/bromoil selective brushing, etc.]3 - Soft focus lenses used by Pictorialists were [mostly] deployed for portraiture. Often. But not always.
>>4531167Appreciate the advice! But I think I'm just not a pictorialist then. What I took from the pictorialists, is that what I thought a photo looked like was just an utilitarian convention, and that I can create images that fit my vision without using a computer. Because I'm just printing in my bathroom, it's a bit tedious to have most of the process happening there like the pictorialist did, so instead I make do in camera with lenses for now.>Pictorialist sense of light, luminosity, tone range comes _not_ from the scene I'm reading En Passant which is a retrospective of Leonard Misonne's work, they quote him many times stating light is the single most important factor in taking a photograph, and that is also my opinion and what I want to use on my images. Of course his photos were also heavily modified during printing, but I do believe his best images would have not been possible without exceptional lighting conditions. I've posted this photo in the fgt thread where there was both bright sun and heavy rain using a tiffen black pro mist 3, I think he used similar lighting conditions with sun filtered through fog, although obviously this is nowhere as good as what he did. I'm also working on some color landscapes using the tiffen on my medium format camera. Those maybe should look closer to the traditional light blur effect I've been referred to in this thread. But I have neither the capacity to develop or print those at home right now.
>>4531235Hey, whatever works to make a beautiful image. That's Pictorialist. My favorite Platinum printers, Frederick H Evans and PH Emerson, were both "straight" printers who didn't manipulate their negatives at all - but they're still Pictorialists. Some of the best ones, too. Retouching like in oil/bromoil just allows you full control over how the print will look. You're technically working from a smaller "set of tools", but we're just doing this for fun. It doesn't matter. My ultimate goal is learning oil printing, but I'll be taking a Pt/Pd workshop next month because I love the tonal range.
>>4531238Oh wow, that's a haunting image. I'll look up this guy.I'm also aiming to learn some more advanced printing technique, but it takes a long time because I'm completely alone as an amateur photographer here in Norway so there's no workshops or community really, and there's a 60% tax to import chemicals. So for now i'm just toning cyanotypes and shooting soft focus, but as you say, the most important is to have fun and become famous and rich from my art. Just kidding. Enjoy your workshop.
would it be technically possible to control ISO and shutter speed (if electronic) on a per pixel basis?
>>4523765With more and more linear ISO invariance sensors it pretty much is, you might get a second base ISO at 400 or 600 where thenoise reduction hardware kicks in but pretty much any high ISO shot is just this base ISO digitally clipped and exposure increased, very similar to increasing the exposure slider. The noise will be the same, all exposure properties will be the same. It has been for 10 years.
don't know where else to ask this but you lot seem savvy enough What is the easiest way to have a GPS app running on my phone while shooting photos, and then I dump the photos and the geolocation data to my computer and have the nearest/interpolated location attached to the EXIF of each photo?
>>4523318>>>4523318>control ISO and shutter speed (if electronic) on a per pixel basisWhy not do in post process on the raw pixels? Cannot see a different outcome.
>>4523778Dual conversion gain sensors are not noise reduction hardware you dunning kruger ass schizo retard snoyimIts basically turning off a high dynamic range circuit that stores more charge to switch to a more sensitive and less noisy one that cant store as much charge but detects finer increments. Noise reduction is what pentax does. No extra light is stored. No extra shadows are detected. Its just a noise reduction slider on a chip for when the camera processor is too weak to run a good NR algorithm. Modern sensors read both of these circuits simultaneously (sony a7v, lumix s1rii, om om1ii) or sequentially (lumix g9ii).
>>4523318Apparently that's what's described in this Nikon patent>US-20260281583-A1But I can't read legalese so correct me if I'm wrong. Could just be describing a faster sensor for all I know.>An image capturing element includes a first substrate having a plurality of pixel blocks including at least one pixel, the plurality of pixel blocks being arranged to be aligned in a row direction and a column direction, and a second substrate having a plurality of control blocks including a conversion unit which converts a signal output from the pixel into a digital signal and a through electrode unit configured to output the signal converted into the digital signal by the conversion unit, the plurality of control blocks being arranged to be aligned in the row direction and the column direction.

>>4530985It's common knowledge that panasonic's AF-C is incredibly bad in stills, often boasting a 30% hit rate on a person walking towards the camera. They tuned it entirely for video because realistically, no one would use a camera as dogshit as a panasonic or a mount as full of oversized, overpriced mediocre glass as L mount for any reason except taking advantage of panasonic being basically sony with every codec enabled in firmware. It's also common knowledge that canon has absolutely zero accuracy issues in AF-S. Literally completely unknown outside of one chart made by poles.Shill disregarded. I'd care if tony northrup, roger cicala, jim kasson, or someone else competent found an issue.
>>4531000>They tuned it entirely for videoWrong, in fact DfD hunts in video. It's a known problem.

I'm a broke college grad trying to make a quick buck, I've never done photography before. What camera would I need to buy and how would I start getting clients?
>>4528062>What camera would I need to buyNGMI. You're gonna have a great gear thread though.
>>4528062dress up in a skin tight spandex suit and take pictures of yourself at strange angles and then sell it to an old guy who distributes it to the public at large.
>>4528062>I've never done photography beforeThen you don't belong here.Send your resume to KFC or McDonald's.Half-assed people like won't be able yo make money out of photography anyway.
>>4528062Real talk, the best way to make money with a camera in 2026 is to start a youtube channel. You can get monetized almost immediately if your content is interesting. Taking photos is not lucrative anymore now that everyone has a camera.

How can we stop these autistic, selfish faggots from driving prices through the roof in literally every vintage market they touch? Why do they not want to share what they love with others?

>>4528479I don't even bother with high end stuff, I just buy old dinged up box cameras from thrift stores. I clean them up, polish the lenses, and do some fun snapshitting.It's honestly the most fun I've had with photography and my most expensive camera was only 10 euros. Cheaper than a roll of certain film.

>>4530306Precision mechanics and high precision optics with high precision mechanics cost lots of money. Also high quality brand names also cost a lot of money plus prestigious luxury brands cost a lot of money.
The depth of field is related to two factors: 1) the size of the circle of confusion and 2) the pixel pitch on the sensor. the bigger the CoC the smaller the DoF. the smaller the PP the smaller the DoF.So, is it safe to say, that a FF sensor with 16um PP has the same DoF as a MFT sensor with 4um PP?
>>4530010Anon, this whole thread is a bait designed to turn into a gear thread. You are not following the narrative that leads to a gear discussion so OP is just bumping is thread with irrelevant chatter until someone does. Just report and move on.
>>4530010>t. nophoto Opinion ignored.
>>4529995>Get a technical camera. Used properly it can help you get everything in focus at lower f stop.This is true, now if OP wants it digital that's a hurdle he'll have to overcome.A good teaching tool would be a vintage lens with focus scale. In pic related, you have aperture lines showing where for each aperture focus starts. So if infinity focus is placed to the left of the right side line for your chosen aperture, the left side line of that aperture indicates where the stuff acceptably in focus starts. This is not exact and depends on how the lens was designed, but it's a good ballpark to start with.In this example, if shooting f/16 the stuff acceptably in focus is about 5m away, all the way to infinity and beyond (left side f/16 line falls between 4 and 6m). If infinity is placed at the right f/16 line, more stuff will be in focus but critical focus won't be at infinity anymore.

Hi /p/, visitor from /lit/ here. I know nothing about cameras but for years I've really liked looking at pictures. Shoutout Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Vivian Maier, Roger Ballen, Emmet Gowin, Stacy Kranitz, Bruce Gilden, Dawoud Bey, Tseng Kwong Chi, Saul Leiter, Frederick Sommer, Mario Giacomelli, Lucas Samaras, Nan Golding, the Japanese guy who took all those raven pictures, many others. They might be memes, I don't know, I just really like their pictures.I have about 500 bucks to spend and I want to buy a camera. I'm thinking about a used picrel (Canon EOS R1000) with whatever used lens it normally comes with, think it's called a RF-S 18-45mm? I don't really know much about gear, just want to start taking pictures. I'm vaguely aware that once you buy a camera you're "locked into its system" of lenses, etc. I've heard the name Canon before so I figure that buying more lenses at some point in a few years won't be a problem. I want to take digital pictures because I don't want to pay for film right now, learn to develop, all of that. Am I being retarded about this, or is this a good purchase? Thanks in advance. In a form of payment, have a book recommendation -- currently reading "Love's Work" by Gillian Rose, short memoir by a philosopher who wrote it while dying of ovarian cancer. Strongly recommend.
>>4529709>inferior That's the M5, lmao.EF mount is here to stay even if they discontinue all Canon DSLRs in the future, if only because it became an industry standard like Arri PL (which started in 1980, to show you the longevity of these mounts).
>>4529716EF-M was too good. Thankfully it already has every lens you'd ever need for travel/EDC, all of them are smaller than their EF counterparts and just as sharp, and it can use an official EF adapter for edge cases where EF-M doesn't have a native lens.

>>4529626Both DA 50 and DA 35 plastic fantastics are fully FF capable as well as the DA 40 Limited and DA* 55 with a very small vignetting in the corner, basically full coverage.
>>4529851Also the DA 35 and DA 50 are cheap as fuck, you can get them for $80 or less a piece. I got my DA 35 for about $65, no outside wear and clear optics.
New motto - gear only matters if your photo doesn't suck.
>>4529870>Lumix colors are all over the place. Her skin bounces between grayish blue to yellowish green and sometimes normal. Plus, you'll never see a decent stills autofocus test in a lumix review...The worst thing about Lumix is that they also removed Optical Low Pass Filters from their cameras, which seems odd when people claim OLPF are more suited to videography than photography and claim that Lumix is the video brand, but it makes sense once you understand that OLPFs were removed to save cost for manufacturers not for any image quality benefit.Luckily Kolari makes OLPF, permanent and drop-in options for L-mount and others.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9hvb4vKJnY
>>4529675>trying to deny that pixel pitch is one of the main determiners of reach.Pixel pitch is ONE FACTOR the equation of so-called "reach" (technically, ANGULAR RESOLUTION). In fact, it is only one SUB-FACTOR of one of the two REAL factors: IMAGE SCALE, the other one being CLEAR APERTURE.Reducing pixel pitch is ONE WAY to increase image scale. But it is ALWAYS BETTER to MAXIMIZE the pixel size for any given IMAGE SCALE, which means you should always increase the focal length FIRST. A larger sensor will ALWAYS yield more resolution than a smaller sensor at ANY GIVEN IMAGE SCALE, and will ALWAYS yield cleaner images with less noise at ANY GIVEN RESOLUTION. Your Saturn snapshit does NOT prove the superiority of smaller sensors, and in fact the full-frame sensor in THAT PARTICULAR comparison would have performed BETTER at the same image scale.STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION.
>>4529889>and in fact the full-frame sensor in THAT PARTICULAR comparison would have performed BETTER at the same image scaleWhy are you fixing image scale as if the average user has bespoke sensors and optics? The maximum image scale is obtained maximizing focal length and minimizing pixel pitch. My whole argument is that once you've already maxed out on the focal length you have available or are willing to deal with (be it a matter of size, weight, practicality) then a crop sensor is how you max out your reach. If you're a Qatari sheikh then feel free to spend over 2 million USD on a medium format super telephoto lens plus the tripods, vehicles and crew to move it around.
Hey, absolute photography noob here (I barely know anything about cameras)I'm looking to buy my first camera for the sole purpose of taking photos of my model kits (in other words, almost exclusively close-up photos). What's the best camera/lens combo I can find for less than 300€?Again, I don't know shit about cameras so I have no idea what to look for.

>>4528850It's really, painfully obvious to anyone who's posted here more than 2 weeks that it's the same guy. He's recently moved his spamming out of the /gear/ thread because jannies no longer allow him to make a new /gear/ thread every 350 posts.And yeah, he's very likely the same one who made every /gear/.

When are we getting a camera with a cross-shaped sensor or an oversized square sensor with dark corners? This should already be the standard on the tiny smartphone sensors so I don't have to rotate my phone
I like 4:3
>>4524326A few Panasonics did that too
>>45246854:3 was nice when I had a 4:3 monitor since you can view in fullscreen and it'll fill the screen completely, no black bars. But 4:3 monitors are basically gone now outside of retro stuff so no point anymore imo.
>>4524316Just make square lenses
you should be asking where the curved fluid-filled sensors are. You know, the sensor type that animals have.
Selling prints and exhibiting are great but that’s not really the bread and butter of art photography. Have you guys never tried to publish your own photobooks or zines? This YouTube channel posts small press photobooks and has interviews with photographers: https://youtu.be/RV9OX4o4ITQ?si=3juCfOxR4AIip2v0If you make your own imprint, you could take all the profits and royalties from sales. It might mean working for not much money but it’s a better side hustle than most other arts and crafts.
>>4528091I have a bunch of photographs i made ‘round 4 years time at an amish farm in central NYS. I made them with an ex/friend, it was his property, and he died this year. I wanted to make a book with those photos, but I don’t know how to end a story that doesn’t really have an ending as I left for norway before he passed. It eats me up inside and I want to do this for him, but of course I have my own ideas to disseminate as well. So many possibilities. Text? No text? Allegory? Straight to the point recount of our times together? I don’t want to do some sort of Yale bullshit where the documentary photograph becomes something else, but… I’m afraid I don’t know what to do.
>>4528091>Selling prints and exhibiting are great but that’s not really the bread and butter of art photographyDo you mean that selling book usually brings more money? Or that books are the best way to showcase photography?
>>4528091We have a zine thread already >>4438872, plenty of folks making and posting their stuff there.
>>4528103Get/make proof prints of all the possible images you want and start story boarding/brain storming by yourself and/or with a trusted friend or friends. Write a few paragraphs, pick a few quotes or poems or whatever. Have peoppe who knew him do the same. Get everything laid out. Just start the process. You don't need to figure everything out before you begin. Get the idea out of your brain and into reality as step number one.I often find that my best ideas and inspiration come after I've started working through my original idea and it may take the whole project in the totally opposite direction if that's what needs to happen. Sorry for your loss norwaybro.
>>4528091Photography is probably the worst artsy hobby to make money from. The ranking is probably something like: photography > writing > music/performing art > drawing/painting, from most difficult to easiest.
