Which do you think is more useful for Architecture photography - a Panoramic tripod head? Or A Tilt Shift lens?

Noobie photographer here, what is a panoramic tripod head?

Does it have angle locking, because it seems like the thing in the OP does, and I'm considering that for what I say in >>4486909
>>
>>4488024
Have you ever tried using the search bar on a web browser to find info about unfamiliar things? (I suggest trying duckduckgo before Google cause platform decay slop.)

A $€£ 5 round bubble level might help getting camera pointing straight down with whatever tripod+head you have. (Fancy head will not help if your tripod is a wobbly toy.)

If you need to scan documents / books borrow, rent or buy a document / book scanner. From quick glance to a € 104.40 one on sale at Amazon(de) the bundled software can flatten and split pages and remove background and fingers. (Dunno if that scanner is any good or +1000% tarifed in Murica.)
>>
>>4488217
I did a lot of searching on this a year or so ago and wasn't able to find much at the time, but since I'm not knowledgeable on photography I figured it was possible I simply wasn't using the right terminology

I'm not just wanting a level, because that still introduces room for my tweaking to be slightly off if by eye I don't notice the level not being actually entirely level. I'm wanting something that actually locks itself to different angle increments so there's no room for error.
>>
>>4488024
Panoramic tripod heads are so you can shoot panoramas while keeping the nodal point the same
If you pan direction on a normal tripod, differences in nodal point can give you some distortion
It doesn't have much functional benefit outside of panoramas / composite
>>4488232
You can get geared heads which offer precise angle adjustment as the knobs are "geared" rather than "locked/unlocked" like most heads, but they are generally quite expensive.
Any decent tripod will lock at whatever angle you want, and you can usually be fine with relying on the cameras built-in level.

In order to achieve this kind of black does it got to be underexposed or overexposed? and how many stops?

Point the light meter at the subject or at the empty space?

I'm really lost on how much sensor size matters, because while I read tons of gear stuff here and the most detailed explanations, in reality the photos taken with a small sensor still look good to me because it's about composition, feelings, emotion, subjects and things like that.
So what's the deal with sensor sizes

What is the future of photography /p
If you were starting today what would you buy?
Will stand alone cameras start needing more technological integrated features?
Will cameras push harder for realism and imbedded certificates to show its a real photo or will cameras start integrating inbuilt editing features to add in skies on blown photos etc?
Will standalone cameras start adding features to make short form video?
I’m just worried buying today the world of photography is about to go through its most drastic change in its entire existence and this will occur over the next 10 years
Thoughts?

Well, AI has to eliminate noise, aberrations and fuzz and then generate the perfect photo from what's left with plausible detail that is not in original to make the result look natural. I don't think current models can do that yet. But I'm no expert in AI or using AI.
But I do think graphic designers are already truly screwed.
The left one is part of my own filtered photo of turbulent water. I asked Grok to "find 24 shapes from this image which could be good logo of startup but different from any existing logo and draw them as lineart in 4x6 grid" (sic)
>>
>>4488049
>getting paid to generate a bunch of random shapes is a doomed career path
Well yes, but actually no.
The good graphic designers are still going to completely BTFO any AI generated shit smear because AI is only good at identifying, repeating and feeding into patterns.
A top-shelf graphic designer will still find work for the businesses that want to disassociate with AI. Genuinely good design is still the hallmark of a human mind (for now) and it's very obvious when genuine thought and talent went into a graphic.

It's just the semi-unemployed post-grads that are fucked, and rightly so.
>>
>>4488055
I do not disagree. I've asked AI find most "important" or shapes from abstract turbulence and what it finds simply is not at all what human brain would pick up.
AI can generate unlimited boring slop but AI also is already very good doing generic busywork and management. Top-self creative people will keep their jobs but there are not that many of those.

Then photography is perfect for you. You can look forward to spending all your time and money researching and flipping gear, and end up taking pictures of buildings, trees, backs of peoples heads, and rant nonstop to yourself about how all the degenerate commie jews have outsmarted you to the success you’re entitled to as a glorious capitalist of a superior race. Welcome.

Three sciences about light that'll help you understand: The science of photons, electromagnetic radiation, and bosons

Two technical concepts that'll help you understand how your camera works: How computers work, how chemistry works, and how the mechanics work in a camera. (Anon here like what the fuck computers? Yes anon your digital camera is a damn computer like a smartphone is a damn computer. Hell even in some cases a calculator can be a computer. And the next what the fuck statement is about film photography which is indeed chemistry.)

Last thing is knowing how all the programming and placement of the camera functionality is in your camera. Such as knowing what the hell C4k is in a Panasonic GH5 for example.

You do all this you would know your camera like a mechanic knows a car. Congratulations you are a step ahead in being a photographer or cinematographer.

The most important part about all of this is the hardest part which is does it make sense to you like any other art form?

No. I'll tell you what this is like. When the video game Crash Bandicot came out, the developer knew the PS1 so much he put a hack on the game to allow the game to use more data than it should. From doing that, Crash Bandicot had higher resolution graphics than a lot of games on the PS1. The same thing can happen with a camera. Say you know what am EF mount is. You being the common consumer would (I hate doing this NeoNazi speak but I have to to sell my point on this site) have to go to Jew BHPhoto on this site and Jew Amazon to buy new lenses. So now instead of buying from Jews you can buy a cheap lens from a Japanese guy on eBay (Jannies I tried speaking his language). Now imagine the same with lights. You don't want to buy all this expensive equipment when you know from how light works a few cheap high output lights will do. You know from reading the light meter on your phone at daylight there is enough light under a shade for a photo.

How does /p/ feel about zines?

They seem fun. You print your stuff, distribute it however you want, and people look at it. They might toss it in the trash but at least you made an impression.

You can make them for pretty cheap. I made some lo-fi DIY-style ones with my visual art at home using just an inkjet printer, and I've been dropping them in random places for people to find.

Anyone ever make zines?

in my experience you don't have to convert to CMYK. The print software will make the conversion automatically. The reason why I wouldn't recommend it, is not all printers are CMYK, many have violet, orange, green, or even red. You don't want your image to be the limiting factor, only the printer.

I just saw the way you’ve blended the neck with the white background. If the entire image was blended into the background that way, I think it would be a great artistic effect. Also, since it’s supposed to look “illustrative,” I think, sharpness is working against you. Softness could improve the aesthetic quality of the image.

Bro, this sucks.

I semi regularly pop to the Martin Parr foundation, went and saw his film where he came and did a little storytime at the end and I bumped into him in a cafe a few months ago, said "thanks for the inspiration" whilst spillin' spaghetti.

Pour a cup of tea out for a real one :(

Fuck those twitter subhumans who canceled him over nothing. May all of those die painful deaths.
>>
>>4487294
He was cancelled when the last resort first came out for doing "exploitative poverty porn", so he did the cost of living next, which had it's sights on the middle/upper class.

Anyone trying to cancel him today is just lacking in historical context or an understanding of his work.

Easy mode is to go to areas with nice landscapes and take photos. Does not have to be touristy, can be off the beaten path if you want to maintain introvert levels. Some interstates even have pull offs on scenic routes where there are fantastic overlooks or nice scenes to photograph.

Too scared to leave home? Take moon photos via a tripod. Do night shots with long exposure times. Hook your camera up to a telescope.

Stranger Danger training plus you were being a voyeur. Unless there is a literal Christmas light show at said home, you should NOT be outside photographing it, there is nothing interesting there. TV and media have conditioned Americans to think you are a bad boi and need a cop-based spanking for doing that, you are clearly a gang member casing the joint to rob it for taking pics.

Plus social media is chock full of people shaming others for mundane crap. Camera out = social media whore.

If you live in a place where you can't carry a pistol, carry pepper spray. Be polite and cordial. There is no expectation of privacy in public. As long as you aren't taking photos of kids, you're fine.
