Do you have a favourite camera? If so, what is it? Why is it your favourite? I want to hear!I'll start, I think for me it's a Nikon FM. I like it because it's always worked for me, I know how to fix it when something goes wrong, it's well made and it has a CdS meter. Lenses are easy to find, as are batteries. I got it for very cheap and it was already quite banged up so I never feel I have to be overly careful with it, which makes it an easy choice to bring with me.>pic semi-related, my third favourite camera
>>4508801D850 baby, I don't even feel the slightest need to upgrade. It's not exactly compact though.
>>4511863>>4511899Both excellent choices. Very nice fellas.
>>4508801The one I have with me
>>4512808That's funny man. I've not heard that quip before. You ever considered doing stand-up?
I have a mju ii that I carry everywhere and use to document life. Rn they are way too expensive on the second hand market, I was lucky and found my one in a dusty old drawer at my grandparents. Found out my parents used this Mju ii when traveling around the world when they were in their 20s. Its not perfect , sometimes its autofocus fails but I love it to death Pic is from the mju ii

photos of my cat Rupert that i took on my phone which at least trace amounts of thoughtful composition, as per the board rules I like this shot because it really focuses on his face, which is cute
>>4510651almost every picture in this thread is center framed lol

>>4476536Parents had a cat named Rupert when I was born. Image is my cat. Hope all is well with you two :)
>>4512781Magnificent… this photo shows top class artistry. You should be in magnum.
Let's do this right and be creative with it.Theme: TransportationAll submissions must feature transportation, whether it's traditional like a car or more abstract like an elevator, interpret the meaning of transportation however you wish.Competition photos must've been taken from the start of this month and submitted by the end of next month (we're currently mid month so a longer timeframe is needed). You are welcome to post old photos but just mention in your post that they are old.Get as creative as you want and have fun.
Is it over?
>>4504961>interpret the meaning of transportation however you wishOK
>>4506736Don't forget the AI slop you smeared all over it.
So who winned?
Here’s a thread to post any concepts or photos you’ve been working on.
>>4512151This was the original concept and I think it’s more what I wanted it to be like. The others just got messier.
>>4512152Another main point was to have an anonymous self-portrait and showing parts of my face only made it feel weaker. We put too much trust in facial features, particularly the eyes, when all the conniving and fake people you’ve met looked you straight in the eyes.
I’m planning a serie called “Vestígios” (Vestiges). It’s the first time I try to do something like this.I’m focusing on that sensation when you are on a space that you fell that there were people just moments ago (or soon will be people) but now it’s empty… causing a strange sensation of comfort, sometimes anxiety, etc.This photo is the first and only so far
>>4512152I like this one, it's moody but also feels a little vulnerable and awkward. I think the offset composition is more interesting than the more formal direction you took with the others. It feels more natural, even lively somehow, to me. For example, this one >>4512148 seems stiff. It depends what you want to convey, though, how you want people to feel when they see these photos. Cool concept. I don't think colour would enhance these at all yet it might be interesting to see how they're different as colour photos.>>4512154Censoring facial features or the entire face with a black box or black bars would fit your aesthetic, I think, if you want to explore more ways of anonymizing your self-portrait. Also, look at what you could do with masks as props? Halloween masks, disguises, etc., masquerade masks like from Eyes Wide Shut.
>>4512150Best>>4512148Good. I think the contrasts are too harsh and most of the mask is just pitch black with no texture at all so I prefer low contrast in this case.>>4512143>>4512149>>4512151messier versions. I feel like the message is diluted.>>4512152Extremely gay. Joking aside there is a strong sexual innuendo in this one that I don't see in the other ones, so I'm not sure it is intended.
Hello /p/I saved a RX100 M7 from the bin after customer returned it without it's box and accessories.I know it’s not a pro camera with fancy lenses and such, but is it good? Photography interests me but I never mustered the motivation to buy a nice setup. Do you have any recommendations on what to do / not do?
>>4510720iPhone 17
>>4510613>Canon has a green tint nowdpreview really is retarded
>>4505220It has more glass and bigger sensor than a smartphone. Smartphones uses algo and ai to molest the picture to look half decent.
>>4505220Not even close, it's a lot better than a smartphone and even a shitty compact camera from a decade ago manages that. Most phones max out at 12mp and still have a lot of processing junk, so even those ones that claim to be more than 12mp are just using pixel binning to achieve a higher mp amount. OP could buy a Canon Powershot from the early 2010s and still be better off than using his phone.
>>4505391>iso 1600hmm I wonder why you didn't chose base iso for both cameras as a point of comparison

The camera fairy appears! She is willing to conjure a camera plus lenses of your choice... BUT all your future photos are limited to a single aspect ratio. If you try to change the ratio in any way, she WILL strangle you in your sleep.What is your choice and what do you wish for?
How about round, snap like it's 1888 without caring of tilted horizon or fuzzy corners.
>>4508570I shoot/export exclusively in 16:9.Every other ratio belongs in the trash.
>>4512048>Every other ratio belongs in the trash.16:9 is literally a cope ratio for retards and engineers who rushed it before reaching the stated goal for 16:10, the Golden Ratio
>>4512050>16:10, the Golden RatioThe golden ratio isn't 16:10 though so that's just another cope ratio.
>>4512157>The golden ratio isn't 16:10 thoughIt's close enough to 1618:1000, it would be silly to enforce the latter in display hardware terms

>>4512014>Entry Level PentaxesK1s tear the flash mount off very easily because the Pentaprism has a GPS unit above it. If it was all metal it would interfere. https://www.ebay.com/itm/178207641525That said here's a K1 for $500 for bid, not bad re: lenses has the 150-500mm Sigma Tele, 15mm Irix Prime, and Tokina 28-80mm f2.8 Pro. I'm personally wanting a 28-105mm f3.5-5.6 HD WR K1 kit lens for my K1ii
found a local seller with a Sony NEX-5N kit with an 18-55 and 55-210 and extras. worth it for $250?
Does anyone have advice regarding a card reader not reading a micro sd card?For more context, it was delivered by mail and seems like it may have been dropped (an ever so slight bump/rise to it)Local data recovery place is quoting anywhere from 800 to 2gs, which is simply out of the question due to a lack of funds.
>>4511949Flash memory is pretty resistant to physical damage as long as the chips themselves weren't cracked, and the electrical contacts of the card aren't completely sandblasted off. SD cards WILL (not might, WILL) fail anywhere between 6 months and 5 years into their used lifespan under normal circumstances, so if your card is cheap and shit you might be SoL.Seeing as you're talking about data recovery, I'm guessing this was something that had photos on it that you sent away? If I were you I'd spend the $10 on a new SD card reader to rule that out as the culprit as there are many out-of-spec and chingneseum readers that will just fail because the ambient sea level pressure rose 1.3 kPa.I've also had an amazon-tier card reader fail to read my beefier UHS-II spec cards despite the fact they're just supposed to fall back to the highest supported speed.Buy a new reader and report back OP.
>>4511965Thanks! Will do.

Show me your shitty artsy bullshit, bring out your Holgas, bring out your LensBabys, bring out your bullshit where your focus is ass and your framing is tainted

Photo abusement thread, nice!
Please apply a dithering effect to one of your recent photos using this tool and post the result ITT if you don't mind: https://grainrad.com/
>>4499645Roger that. Was fun, I like this result. Original is in macro thread.
>>4499674Awesome result! >>4503325Neat, like old Indy DOS adventures
Failed to read instructions.
This thread is driving me nuts. I can't get the tool to work. Possibly a Linux issue.
I have some photos taken under tree shade with spots of light that I took with the intention of editing in the style of Monet's soft, cool shade-light contrast but I'm having a hard time nailing the post, any pointers?
