>>4511265Zoom lens is not as good as prime.No amount of quality can make up for the intrinsic sacrifices made for a zoom lens, so a 24mm prime will usually always win and so will a 70mm.If you're okay with subpar quality in exchange for convenience in adjustable focal length I don't see a reason not to get one but just don't expect great optical performance. With that said, consider using all of that as an excuse to shop for something cheaper and maybe with a bigger zoom. Getting a "quality" 24-70mm is basically copium vs primes. If you don't care too much about quality then maybe pick up a 24-105 or something.
>ef-m lenses are not getting any cheaperWhere the hell are all the boomers ditching it?
New bread >>4511297
>>4511272I care about quality but also dog I absolutely need a zoom for cosplay photography, like you can not do shit with primes, you have literally 5 seconds of interaction total and no control of the space.I want to be able to hit a full body and a portrait usually, so like I'd have to have enough space with a 35 to snap a pic and then sprint up and shove the camera into their face for a portrait and then the background will look retarded
>>4511265It's a good lens but it has optical flaws you wouldn't expect of such an expensive one. >>4511272 captain obvious here is sperging about primes when you clearly are looking for a versatile lens. Personally, and someone will sperg at me about this, I would get one of the gen 2 Tamron 24-70 f2.8 lenses over the non-stabilized version of the Nikon 24-70. Optically it's a wash but stabilization is something you always wish you had once you finally get a lens that has it.
It's over, lads. I've given up on my Instagram photography page. I watched it slowly die over the years, while other snapshitters gained tens of thousands of followers for posting reels of tHe PrOcEsS and talking about how they made the photo, only for the end result to be "in another post" so you had to check out their profiles, or they'd say "I will post the result if this reel gets X ammount of likes". Apparently people like that nowadays. I never really liked to talk about my art and photography. Always considered that a photo has to "speak" by itself. Either way, I saved some of my favorite shots, and I will dump them here. Bear in mind, they are screenshots of my posts, as I never bothered to back them up to any cloud, and recently my SSD went bonk. Was also too lazy to figure out how that data exportation feature worked on Insta. So I hope you can get over the low quality of the images.Cheers, hope you'll enjoy them. Feel free to criticize them if you want. My only intention is to share them with people who might appreciate them before they all get lost in time, like tears in the rain.
>>4502906Alright. You lost me here.
aesthetically pleasing images>>4502929this one i dig, because it has more story element to it>>4502911also this one>>4502902cool too>>4502921best one i thinkI think my critique of the work is it feels too safe.It doesn't feel like you took any risks creating these images.Like going into an abandoned house should make me feel something, some danger,but to me it feels a little too just like you were there you took a photo to satisfy style rather than the moment itself
>>4502943Dawg
>>4502943Is this genetic... the feeling wanting to kiss a "dawg", pet it on the head and say "good boy". Crazy how humans and wolves evolved to form such grandios partnerships.
>>4502904Excellent grade and subject matter but I don’t like the borders on the long edge only, I prefer this >>4502894 (also a good shot). I don’t like the hard contrast look to the majority of these, a little more tonal depth between the shadows and lower midtones wouldn’t hurt>>4502905This one has a nice grade, not too hard

Have you ever taken a still life photograph? What did you learn from it? I am not good at it yet, but it is my favourite genre of photography. I like the idea of trying to execute a concept, telling a story with visual grammar and narrative, but there are many factors that can ruin a still life photograph. Pic related needed better composition, angling, leading lines, better props, a better background (preferably with a backdrop because the white wall does not add much), and maybe a better table. It was fun nonetheless, and I think I learned something during the shoot because I tried so many arrangements under a time constraint and learned about workflow.
>>4509558>how did you light the scene?thanks. i don't remember honestly. i think i had a strobe bouncing off the ceiling
finally get to post some goods on this board. I'll have more of these prints developed over the next few weeks, but I've been doing nothing but still-lifes over the semester.
>>4509917I should say that this print isn't the final edition; my idol's face needs some burning in on the highlights. this was just the first image I had on my phone
>>4509917Dod you make the sculpture?
>>4509991no; boyfriend made it. certainly one of the most interesting things he's made.here's the final print
Someone Step Up and Make a New Thread Already EditionPlease post film photos, talk about film photography, film gear like cameras, film stocks, news, and tips/tricks in this thread.Also talk about darkroom practices, enlargers, photo paper, techniques like dodging/burning, tools, and equipment related to enlarging, developing, and printing.Thread Question: If you were going to try one antiquated/non-traditional printing process (gum bichromate, collodion, oil print), which would it be and why?Previous thread: >>4504208
>>4511175i hate the culture around leica. i do not care about how nice it is to be analog, give me a real fucking review. i love this m4 though, i will get a leica lens next pay check, probably an ltm since they are cheaper than m mount.i also hate the naysayers like "you could've bought film with that money" or "waste of money just get a leica lens" this camera is the smoothest camera i own, and idk when its been last serviced.
>>4511218another nice thing about being into M mount is that you get access to 300ish dollar chinese glass that has better coatings than some of the lenses of yesteryear. it lets you fill niches in your lineup. this was taken on a laowa 12mm

What's your favorite lighting, /p/? My favorite lighting is golden hour.
>>4497922I don't even own a strobe. It's all softboxes.
Luv redheads so much bros
Backlighting
>>4497411Love me a lantern softbox, especially indoors.It lets me get a natural window light look even in a completely dark room.
Post thunderstorm sunset or sunny winter/fall day with crisp light and deep shadows.
I am going to buy one as soon as they hit the market in early Novemeber. I hope I get the 1987 edition. It's fire. Which one are you hoping to score?You are going to be getting one right /p/?You aren't gonna be a contrarian try hard no Charmera /p/haggot are you /p/? ISHYDDT
>>4470138just dropped by my store and got one for me and one for my sister, quality is interesting, got two red ones lmaothere are some built in filters and its a bit ridiculous to see the counter at 99999999 after putting a sd card in.
>>4513082bretty gud for a snapshotwe should start another Kodak Charmera/toy camera bread
What's the best one you've used? and the worst?What's the minimum amount to spend, and when would you be spending too much?How much of an improvement did you see in your photography when you started using one? Did you get better results, subjectively speaking?Picrel is the uber-shiny ultra D-LUX filter from Hoya and I don't know if I need it. I know I need one of these filters, though. My landscapes have very hazy skies and are overall somewhat low-contrast.
>>4508719Lies.For portraits (in uncontrolled lighting) it can help eliminate shine from sweat and oils on the skin and also give a warmer diffused look to the skin. As light penetrates skin and bounces around inside it makes you glow to an extent, polarizers don't affect this but will cut down on external light bouncing off the surface.>>4508708In general, no. It's not typical to use one.Give it a try though you might like it for some situations. Worth figuring out IMO. Can be used nicely for "wet" photography or anything involving water/sweat/oils/etc or body paint and glitter.

>>4448279One of the best /p/ insights.
There are like millions of setttings, how do I know which one is the best in my particular case?I've tried to watch some tutorials on Youtube, but couldn't recreate that super fancy feeling you're getting from fashion magazines. For example pic rel is my slop, is it possible to fix it somehow to make it look decent for Instagramm at least?
Is there any recommended mobile editing app? Sometimes I don't want to wait until I'm home and I'm not dragging around a laptop.

Bump for engagement, come try editing
I am going to post random images I made which I have also edited and I would love my /p/iss bros to give me feedback on my composition, but mostly editing style... or direct me towards an editing style that would fit me.>feedback on composition>feedback on editing>direct my towards my own styleStarting with opening image...
>>4502365A fleet of old Siemens wind turbines. Cool. Where at?
Anon, I like your style, mine is the same. I like desolation and lonely scenes that are semi abstract. I really like how the black and white enhance that theme. Good shit anon.
>>4502365I cannot answer because 4chan consider my answer spam but thanks for the photo thread.
>>4505935There’s a limit on how many posts you can reply to at once. Anything over the limit is spam.
>>4502365I see your work, and before say something about it, i would say that looking for your style maybe its not the best, but i dont think that identified a little bit of that is to bad. Let me explain, knowing your style is great, but you dont have a strong style yet, there might be things, sure, but when you think about great directors, just stay mainstream, like tarantino, he is not making a movie thinking of following the path of his style. he is thinking in the shit he likes, and THAT is his style. is literally mix the shit you like and see what happend. You can doit manually as i said, mix or you can do it the natural way of just letting time show you what you like repeating de most. Most people would tell you the boat photo is great, i think you miss a big photo. That photo with just a slightly better composition would be amazing, you have the 2 subjects, the black trees and the boat with reflect, you divided in the rule of thirds, but you doit really cheap, the trees are to far in the inside of the left third, and the boat is better, i think the point allings nicely. If you want to play with BIG subjects, like super big black (trees again) and white ( for boat) you need to doit in a really tight composition, otherwise looks like something that its not finish. If big characters in game watch the composition nicely, this is top tier shit or you look the best photo of the bigger photographers and think they almost cacht it? no, they make it perfect, that is why its so hard. And the road photo tilted 45 its reeally fucking nice, i think you should explore more that, its wild and purist, and FAGGOTS! photographers would say ist not good, fuck them. That photo has movement, and that its no so easy to achive, it like you mix some shit and came that really good, explore that. That composition its better that the boat, even tho the boat its good, it gives that feel of somethings missing, but if i had the same time as you as i think it was short, i would miss to
How do you change your camera settings when you want to photograph a black person?
>>4502169I'm not interested in wildlife photography, so no.
>>4502169If I were to to shoot a darkie I would blast them with a fill flash to illuminate them if lighting needed it. Negroes can be quite dark at times, but you know what else is dark? Actual "black" objects like a mousepad, a camera body, lens, etc and you know what? those photograph just fine. Same with literal coal miners covered in fucking coal. It's all just shades of grey and unless it's something like vantablack, it's not pure black, and your camera should pick up details just fine.Every single instance of a darkie in a photo or video being too dark to see (when not clearly in shadow in a high contrast scene) is literally just overbaked fake contrast added in post-processing or a camaera preset used by retarded JPEG shooters that crushes shadows and applies non-linear curves that crush shadows and highlights.If you want inky blacks, you need a scene with real contrast. A black person standing next to a lighter skinned person, including a literal albino, is never and was never high contrast scene.Pic related is more how that image should actually look.>>4502185Lay off the lightroom or in-camera processing and you won't have to "bump up" anything. Unnatural fake contras is not the default look. That's the slop look. If that's part of your workflow, you're doing it wrong.
if you cant photograph black people, you will always be a shit photographer

I need some advice on posing people who are awkward in front of the camera.It's always been my dream to do these kinds of super staged portrait shoots and I've finally built up the confidence to ask some friends to take part in a shoot. However from snapping a few pics of them previously I know that they're kinda awkward in front of the camera and after doing one shoot a while ago I've realized I'm not too confident posing people yet.Making him wear sunglasses helped a bit, but other than that I didn't really know what to do other than instructing him to just look into the distance and that kind of worked.Any advice or shared experience is appreciated. I've heard that you're not supposed to micro-manage your subject's poses to make them look natural, but I'm not quite sure how to actually do that.
>>4504099How do you deal with normies who never learned how to smile properly? What would you say to get one to smile who only knows how to grimace Any pose inspiration tips? What do you like normies to do in photos? Where do you go for portrait pose and setup inspiration? Landscape photography don’t pay the bills but damn the subject is so much fucking easier to work with
>>4504061What did the pirate say on his 80th birthday?Aye matey.
>>4496392You have them shake their sillies out first of course. You can't be withdrawn and stiff while posing if you've spent 5-10min impersonating a whacky arm flailing inflatable tube man before you started.
>>4504061why snoyny doesnt make any mfturd?bcuz god doesnt punish 2 times
>>4496392I take a huge shit on the floor right in front of them while making direct eye contact and then smash it through my fingers
hi. I'm making an evangelion:death and rebirth styled LUT and kinda need some RAW files of japanese foliage of whatever to color match. I wanted the LUT to be as faithful to the reference as possible and the only foliage that I can work with are equatorial ones like palm, narra and yakal (i live in the philippines), so having actual japanese foliage for reference would be a big help.thanks in advance :3picrel (latest version of the LUT. I can send the .cube file if you guys are interested).

>>4508754hi, just just looked into the NEFs. Even edited a few ones using the LUT.
>>4508754anyways, the NEFs were very helpful as a reference for the LUT. noticed that the temperate trees all swayed towards the cyan tones rather than the yellows, I adjusted the LUT accordingly. picrel
