It is hands down my favourite kind of photography even though it has many limitations.Actually i think that being that limited kinda forces me to try and be creative even though many shots gets blown out. Or maybe i simply enjoy shooting and having the pic with me istantly.... the best way to collect memories with friends.
>>4510084I understand the appeal but I feel like they sorta have the opposite problem, they are instant and allow no editing so you dont really learn anything from themalso, what are you gonna do with them except be the 500000th person to make a polaroid wall
instax or polaroid?
>>4515285Surely a photographer can learn a lot by shooting without being allowed to edit. You better capture the shot properly.
>>4515285I agree with the other anon. It makes you think twice before committing to a shot
So when are we doing this again?
Why are so few women into photography anyway? You'd think they'd love it considering they can take as many perfect vanity pictures as they could ever want.
>>4515349every single woman is a photographer, anon, but they're not camera dorks who sperg out over spec tables and camera comparisons. they're into taking photos with their phone and they aren't obsessed with gear unless it's something they saw someone they think is popular using on Instagram, like a G7XIII ("everyone has one of those!" is what I heard some chick say to her boyfriend while I was looking at cameras in JB Hi-Fi). Women are born followers...
>>4515379Saying every woman is a photographer is like saying every accountant is an author because they write things down

Girls that shoot are cute and I need one
I’m thinking of getting a shift lens but I understand a view camera can make the same movements, and tilt-shift lenses are also available for most ILCs. Have any of you used a shift lens, tilt-shift lens or a view camera? What did you use it for? What was it like using one? Frustrating? Simple? Did you need any other accessories to make the process work? How did you like the final results? Was it worth the expense and effort? Is digital perspective correction just as effective?Now that I’ve really begun to focus on perspective in my images it’s all too obvious how even a small tilt of the image plane away from parallel with the subject causes distortion. Do you care about keystoning in your pictures? >picrelThe shift scale on the Laowa 20mm f/4 Shift.
>>4515332>needs a tripod and a static sceneyes and so does focus stackingthat was my point, and why I chose that analogy
>>4515829Not with some cams tho, innit
>>4515831low IQ, probably american
>>4515831the cams that do handheld focus stacking are hit and miss and come out with a result thats pretty close to a phoneits easiest and most effective to use them on a tripod with added lighting anyways
>>4515847No need to tell us your back story, anon.>>4515848I've seen excellent results when combined with flash. Of course the optimal setup is everything perfectly still, m8.
Can someone tell me what lightning equipment I would need, to recreate either of those photos?

Three Rolls of Kodak Ultramax 400Presented ChronologicallyPreviously: >>4509044
>>4511411>>4511368i really like the colours on these two
>>4513579this fux
the big balls of light were pissing me off at first, but it's a rather good commentary on the intrusion of urban development
>>4511327brother nobody cares to see your entire roll of random snaps. you need to respect yourself and the viewer and curate your photos. put a of effort into your art.
>>4515809>nobody cares to see your entire rollWrong, i care because i am getting an idea of how a roll session plays out>respect and curateIf you are not going to print a book for him you should keep quiet
Where can I get a good idea of the best, most interesting way to photograph a dense forest? I find it quite difficult on account of the monotony of the surroundings. Who are some photographers that focused on this subject? or what are some good movies to watch that focus not on the vistas of the landscape but the feeling of being in a dense, crowded forest.I'm mostly seeking inspiration. Feel free to post anything you think fits the bill. I also want it to feel really eerie, like you've "crossed over" into another realm where things aren't the way you expect them to be... a bit Twin Peaks, even.
>>4515797he's right tough. even if the forest as a whole is your subject, you need to convey some sort of narrative. you cannot just snap groups of trees and except to spontaneously generate a beautiful body of work.
Having a tree as the main focal point is a pretty easy way to get a main subject and also showcase the forest. I think an approach like this works well or something more flat showing how dense a gathering of trees are from a distance is also nice. But weather and lighting is key. different times of the year offer different foliage and life in the forest, as well as more chance for fog.
>>4515813also lensing is somewhat important for getting the right compression on some of these too.

This image was taken at the same thrift store I’ve taken pictures at before. The back of the store returned a “Kids Place” area and I felt it had a very empty and nostalgic feel

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?

Which one of these free film cameras will take better photos?
>>4515511The one you have with you.
>>4515511I'd personally rather have a Fuji lens than a mystery meat yashica/kyocera one, but they probably both take meh-to-acceptable photos assuming their internal electronics still function.
Right looks cooler and we know nobody on here actually uses there camera
Sup nerds, I got the new gear threadIs the Olympus OM-D a good camera?
>>4515508If you're adjusting ISO to account for exposure changes when doing ETTR, you are doing it wrong lol
>>4515508>The photo will always look better at, below, and a bit above “equivalence” on a global, zoomed out level.Unless you post unlabeled examples here and asked people which are FF and which are not and they can't do it
>>4515598huskyfag and doghair already proved sensor size has a lookcANON and corgicucks tests were purposefully botched and shrank to instagoy resolution to hide the big sensor superioritybest posters /p/ ever had. we need them to come back and post weekly proof sensor size is the only thing that matters.
Had to rma the battery, sony niggers asked fot the whole package. Now having to send the camera also.
The best cameras have not yet been made, but the best lenses have!
The "Cityscape" EditionPreviously: >>4507850Thread Question:>Who taught you the most about photography and what's the most memorable thing they said?
>>4511917Agreed on the composition. I mmm'd and ahh'd about cropping it but thought I'd throw it out there as it is, see how it goes.>>4511918>that dumb bint's faceOf the several shots from that burst, that was unfortunately the best one. She looked even dumber in the other shots. Didn't have time to linger and try getting another shot as I was busy picking up dinner for the family.Thanks for the feedback mate.
>>4512138moo
>>4510698Oh nice, a perth anon. Will always remember my home city.
>>4512138He's a big guy.
>>4512141not like that starting his own thread would change anything lol
Color doesn't matter. Today when you can adjust colors just by pressing a button there's nothing more fake than a color. You should only shot B&W. Black and White photography is real and pure. Shape, shadow and light - this is what makes your photography look special, not some bright oversaturation. If your picture looks good without colors then your picture is worthy
>>4515083>>4515084>>4515085And the final I'll share for now.>>4515087If there's no rgb tones and everything is captured as shades of grey, then the only contrast is luminance/brightness, is how I understand it.
>>4515088>>4515089I guess I have to try that since ive seen the rgby filters in the settings but diddnt know what they were for.
>>4515083the polarisation goes crazy>>4515089the sky looks really badin basically all of 'em
>>4515083Wait, here's one more, a colored photo of the same building with saturation -100, just for comparison.>>4515091>the sky looks really badI like it. My father was undergoing a major procedure at the hospital across the street, and that darkened sky foreboding look was speaking to me.
>>4508474Still looks oversaturated somehow.
What do I say when normies rebuke me for taking pictures of people in public without their knowledge?If I say they're in public and shouldn't expect to never have their picture taken; they still say it's creepy, voyeuristic, and an invasion of privacy.
>>4514984Not bad, although some people can be really aggressive in insisting you have a sinister motive… so many people are keen on catching a predator… so you might try reasoning like this with them in vain…
>>4512177>What do I say when normies rebuke me for taking pictures of people in public without their knowledge?It's ok, my mom said I can.
>>4512177I always say what are you gonna do about it when people say something.
Phonechads can take pictures anywhere without a second glance. Gearcels with their 9DMkVI show up and are immediately assaulted for being creepy weirdos taking pictures in public.
They're right. Smash your camera and tattoo "pervert" across your forehead.
Wanted to share some photos of a military-frontier reenactment I went to recently.
Great shots all around. Good thread.Favorites:>>4514054This one looks like it's from The Naked Spur (1953).>>4514059>>4514060The high contrast works here.>>4514065>>4514074
>>4514155 (checked)Thanks, man. The colors aren't for everyone, I suppose, but I'm still trying things out. No, it wasn't a battle reenactment. It was more of a day-in-the-life type deal. They only fired the cannons a couple of times.>>4514294Fair enough and good advice.>>4514375I really appreciate that, man! To your question, I think it's largely the color grading. To be honest, I got my first camera one year ago and haven't figured out how to edit the colors by myself in a way that produces these results consistently. I lean heavily on presets for the colors in my photos. I plan to read some books on color theory and work towards doing the colors on my own.I don't like trying to bring the shadows up too high, so I often just let the highlights clip if I think it will result in a better exposure. I try to only show off good photos. I usually shoot at 3fps, end up with more photos than I need, then only show the best ones.>>4514396Thanks. One day, we'll purge both the poisons the poisoners of our food, and we'll be as Heracles.>>4514413Glad to hear it, fren.
This could've been pure kino with film.
>>4514970I'm interested in learning film in the future.
every single time
>looking at some film camera that was $100>YouTube video came out a few weeks ago and it's now $300Fuck
>>4508313What happened?
>>4507713fuck you chris niccols i had been saving for that tc-1
>>4508900Its “ebay subtracts 13% of the buyers taxed and shipped total from what the buyer actually pays me, and I regret buying this”
>>4515140I doubt it will start costing more. The people willing to fork over 1000 bucks on a 35mm point and shoot are few and far between.
