I saw that message bout gear, that gear threads are not wanted, however I have nobody to ask so here's my question. I just bought Hoya HD MK2 protective filter for my canon RF 100-500 L because I am going to do photos in extreme conditions so I don't want my front lens to get dirty or scratch etc. What do you think about this filter is it worth it, or I should've bought Zeiss T* UV filter or other. Thanks in advance!
I mean, if you're going to add an extra piece of glass, it might as well have been a UV filter. You're only cutting your light by about 1.5%.

>>4475038I think it probably doesn't matter that much, but if it matters to you then it does.Hope this helps.

>>4470174Are you doing this for fun? Cause if not rodinal is cheap as fuck and everywhere nigga damn
>>4470177You can also make rodinal anywhere that you can get drain cleaner and painkillers. This is not an exaggeration.
>>4470174I’ve used caffenol with iodized salt instead of potassium bromide for developing conventionally, not stand developing though sorry anon - but for what it’s worth with about a ten minute development there was no bromide drag issues

>>4470096Unironically kind of want one and might actually buy it. Here's my reasoning:>pleasant design, looks better than any old digicams>no screen >funWish it was full manual, though, that's the only reason why i might not get it

>>4470096>$100 landfill cameraThis is marketed towards gen z and their trendy digislop camera revival. In the end gen z just needs to feed their consumerist desires.A better alternative than buying more electronic waste is to get an old digicam from your parents/grandparents, or buy one off of ebay for extremely cheap.>muh old timey filtersDigicams looks old timey naturally, they don't need a filterIf you need anything more than what the digicam outputs just put it into lightroom and edit for 15 seconds.Same generation who "brought back" thrifting somehow can't comprehend they can thrift for old cameras, and instead, need to buy newer temu versions of shit to emulate it being old.
How was that softness of 1980s centerfolds shot on Ektachrome achieved? Was it lens itself or was dude using some filters on his large format camera?
>>4461642welcome to 4chan were 99% of it is autistic people who read something somewhere once and think they're experts on the topic
>>4461630>You can use a soft focus lens, or if your system doesn't offer one you can just use a filter with Vaseline or something smeared on it. There are filters like soft focus filtersA soft focus lens gives a specific, different effect than a soft focus filter or a filter with vaseline smeared on it.

>>4472601Its a digislug problem. CFAs garble greenery into an indistinct mess. You can chase megapixels and lens sharpness forever and it will never look quite as good as you saw it until you’re up to a $50k phase one trichromatic back or doing trichromes with a 50mp+ monochrome sensor. It’s a technological limitation of digital tries to register color and detail at the same time. Foveon is a noticeable improvement as is pixel shift if somehow nothing moves, not even atmospheric distortion… which never happens. On film, greenery looks amazing.
NEW THREAD! Now that one anon can wash his pussy.>>4472577>>4472577>>4472577
>>4470808Ummmm kino
>>4470815I would have taken a step back so the traktor isn't cut off, but even then, the composition isn't that interesting. I would have walked around a bit to find a different angle and just not taken the photo if I couldn't find a good one.>>4470816>>4470817Is this a 50mm lens? Look at how you're tilting the camera down ever so slightly, so the vertical lines aren't vertical. Very common issue in the 35-60mm range because you're very close to a standard fov, so the subtle up or down perspective just looks weird and wrong. If the tilt is obvious and pronounced like looking up at a skyscraper with a wide angle lens, then your brain can kind of categorise it as looking up or looking down. If it's almost straight but not quite, then it just looks off>>4470818Nice subject and angle but the perspective a bit wonky again and the shot is too tight. Was there something at the edge of the frame that you wanted to exclude to get more of a clean shot? I wouldn't be so scared to include some uninteresting shit at the fringes if that's the only way to give my main subject some space. Also the colour in the sky is hella weird, start using presets or film sims, or better yet, just shoot film
>>4470709this shit is beautiful and I love transit
Let's have a thread on Greg GirardYeah I am thinking he is kino.
>>4474466>well, he is not exactly herzog... That's a good thing you stupid cinefag, this is a photography board in case you didn't notice.
>>4474473obv talking about fred herzog you dumb fucking cunt
>>4474477Ironically this little exchange proves cineape's thesis that nobody gives a shit about stills and that cinema is the real endgame.
>>4474480i do. i rarely watch cinema these days, yet go through many printed books.
>>4474473I dont know if yiu know this but film/cinema is actually a sequence of photos
and a worse form of it than vidya or movies?
>>4474681yes, of course it is. but at least you get to leave your house and create something instead of pumping LoL for 18hours/day and pissing in a bottle
>>4474725I see thinking isn't your strong suit
>>4474681my camera is my safety blanket
>>4474703I'll have you know that I don't shoot building corners and trees, but rocks and leaves thank you very much.
>>4474703vidya is more popular because it's cheap and easy and appeals to normie sensibilities
hey /p/rotogs, how do you think this photo was taken?it dates from 2010, but based on the debris and vignette it was shot on film - so I'm thinking a monopod is more likely than a droneI also just think this is a really cool image and captures the vibe perfectly
>>4474442>reduced to name calling in lieu of a thoughtOk anon
>>4474207It's very likely to be Velvia (purple clouds, no dynamic range).This guy >>4474219 is right that it's a polariser darkening the sky, but wrong about the camera. It is 1000% a slide film colour scheme, and slide film dust visible all over the top left, and most jarringly the shepherd's crook shaped pube in the middle of the frame.Old mate >>4474236 has correctly identified the likely vantage point and field of view.Lastly; it's scanned on a potato, as 35mm Velvia should look better than most digital cameras.
>>4474467ding ding dingI reckon that all sound about accurate, but I'm still unconvinced it's taken from a structure, as it's probably depicting the sand bank at one foot islandsadly this is the highest quality version I could find, so it's likely the original scan, wonder if the photographer still has the negatives...?
>>4474207So, I did some digging, found who I believe to be the photographer, and sent him an Email. I'll reply with an update if he emails me back.
>>4474653It's worth noting this photo seems to be connected to Aitutaki. It appears in videos from people at the Aitutaki Private Island Lagoon Resort.
Hello /p/, I want to take photos like picrel but have no experience in photography and no camera, I'm willing to spend up to around €1,000 but would rather cheaper as I am not wealthy, anything in the 400-500 range is a nice amount for me. What camera/specs do I need? Any lenses? I know photography terminology as I've experience with 3dcg and they seem to use the same terms there, as well as a bit of experience in just using the pro mode of my phone camera.

>>4474415The Butlerian Jihad will be developed in caffenol, mark my words AI
>>4461548You need a high red camera like the Sony A7CR, paired with a sharp GM lens. If your subject is trees, leaves, or anything green in general, Sony is the natural choice because of their propensity for beautiful green hues in their jpgs.

Can you believe this photo was taken in India?
>>4474253Yes. The territory that is known as India has amazing nature, the problem with India is the inhabitants who live there.
>>4474253>we wuz aryans
>>4474253>Trash all over the ground>Stinkies in the background >Fence falling apart Having clouds and mountains that look like the Alps isn't the point rajeeb, it's already turning into a plastic landfill. You guys are worse than 70% of African countries in basically every aspect of civilization except constant wars but that's just because you are weak. Imagine being domesticated by a handful of Englishmen coming from literally months of navigation in wooden cathedrals. Decolonisation was a net negative for India
>>4474253I got a similar photo in probably the same location (Sonmarg)
>>4474258The people are fine. A little simple, yes, but human nontheless. Its the demons they worship that lead their minds down to depravity and their souls to hell. Much like the the inhabitants of the rest of the planet. They are all a product of that which they worship.
Thoughts on Nobuyoshi Araki, aka ARĀKII? He is known for his evocative subjects, such as bondage and denuded eroticism, as well as controversial treatment of his models.
>>4467097iconique
>>4467097I have this as a poster at homeA gallery was selling his work recently but ain't no way I'm paying 8 grand for that
>>4467096>controversial treatment of his models.does he rape them?
>>4467096just stupid porn. turn the young good looking women into homely men or women and no one cares suddenly. he just sells softcare to normies as "art". lame grift
>>4473428>just turn his work into something it's not and it will suckdamn why didn't I realize this before?

This thread is sadly proof gear mattersMost of these are artistically, good. Sadly the gear OP used makes it look like a half finished alt-right vaporwave meme.Optical zoom on a 1" sensor would have been better than cropping a GR
>>4474299Correct. For venues where only a compact masquerading as a phone will do, the 1" rx100vii reigns supreme over the apsc GR. I still regret dumping mine for cheap trusting snoy will make a viii.>half finished alt-right vaporwave memeSounds half interesting. Got any examples?
>>4474314> over the apsc GRMeant to add - in poor light. Also, AF on the GR is terrible in poor light. I had to trash bin over 50% of otherwise decent frames for missed focus.I still love the GR - in good light.
What's up with this new generation of photographers shitting on street photography and showing major concerns over "invasion of space" and other types of "ethical concerns"? What will happen to the major achievements of 20th century photography if no one is claiming it? Is this also a sign of woke times? Now ethics matter more than art or truth? Isn't it a given that an artist needs to have giant balls if he want to make good work? How street photography is different from realism in art? Is the description of someone by writer is more "unethical" than the photograph of some person? Why are zoomers afraid of reality? Wasn't Tichy darling of /p/? What happened? How should we deal with these question?
>>4473818Free speech absolutism is a midwit trap.
>>4473809It is kind of sad though that these days we live in a world which is so consumed by evil that you can't even innocently take a picture of a child.Myself and many photographers I know get nervous when a child is nearby because we dont want to get called creeps who are trying to photograph kids. We aren't trying to, they're just there.I don't know who that guy is, I assume he was an actual predator which is a bad thing of course, but do you think anyone called Vivian weird for this picture?>pic related.
>>4473831>worldNot everywhere is fucked up karenland
>>4473831vivian was a bonafide creepy weirdo tho
Morality? We have sociopaths in charge everywhere you look across society. Don't fuckin sweat it, it's just photos. Take whatever you want in public. Prepare to face the consequences if you photograph some tough guy jabroni and he doesn't like it. Obviously don't go wandering into playgrounds without a kid of your own, but short of that, whatever man. Just take pictures. Or don't. Street is kinda played out. But if you have a unique perspective or feel drawn to do it, just do it.
How the fuck an old man can be this fucking cool?
>>4473280If you want to be healthy when you're old all you have to do is stay mobile. Walk around everyday, move your arms and legs. That's literally it.
>>4473276Having thick hairs helps.
>>4473280Good healthy food. That's why many Japanese get so old despite many of them also being heavy drinkers and smokers. Their food keeps them young. Small portions divided over the day, lots of fish, pickled veggies, etc.
