No more useless content;Post your most difficult creations and explain how you did it;Include exif and gear if possible;Must reply with a photo;Photography is learning and discovering new elements and techniques. Let's get out of the comfort zone.Pic: This is a panning attempt using a Minolta SRT 101 + mc rokkor-pf 55 f/1.7.I pre-focused where she would be and used a slow speed of 1/30 and moved the camera horizontally, trying to match her speed without vertical motion, completely handheld.
>>4452751This is another attempt of the same technique, but using a Canon 5D mark II and EF 24-70 f/4L, instead.It was on servo autofocus using the center spot.
This one is interesting. Once again, using a Canon 5D mark II, which is not really suitable for action, with center focus and AI servo.The lens of choice was an EF 100 f/2.8L IS macro. Focusing was really difficult, as I used f/2.8 to try as much background blur as possible and using high speeds of 1/3200 and ISO 200.Focusing was a pain, and it was really limiting without a zoom, so only got about 5 great shots.
>>4452752Forgot exif:1/40 f/22 ISO 100, without ND.This one was taken using a Pentax Spotmatic SP F with an SMC Takumar 200 f/4 manual lens.The issue here was exposing with a slow lens and manually focusing it.1/1000 f/4 and HP5+ @800
Canon EOS R+EF 100 f/2.8L IS macro.1/160 f/9 ISO 640 + on-camera Godox V860III - direct lights at 1/64 or 1/32I could've used a faster speed here, but I wanted the finest details. The issue was focusing at the minimum focus distance, to get as much magnification as possible. And doing that with a single exposure, handheld IS on.
Canon RP + Sigma 150-600 Contemporary Photographing birds is always tricky, because they get scared of you.What I did was waiting under the scorching Sun for it to come in the right spot. Servo autofocus and high-burst (5 fps) mode.1/1600 f/8 ISO 1000
Well, for context, this spot right here is always full of tourists, so you can't really take a good pic at daytime.And at night, the high contrast is challenging, so I had to bracket the photo with 4 different expsoures to have something similar to what your eyes could see.Canon RP + Sigma 85 f/1.4 Art30' f/13 ISO 100
>>4452751Awesome thread, I'll try to contribute a bit laterThis is the kind of stuff the board really needs
Canon RP + RF 50 f/1.8 and on-camera flash 2nd curtain at 1/16I did some motion while freezing the subject with the flash. The difficult part is ending up with a straight frame on focus.1/40 f/5.6 ISO 5000 or something like that
>>4452759Feel free to contribute, anon.Canon 5D mark II + EF 40 f/2.8Same concept as >>4452751>>4452752
Any contrasting scene is difficult in my opinion, so the difficult part about this is the editing. Having to make selective masks to get closer to what the human eye can see.Canon RP with EF 16-35 f/4L + CPL filter1/200 f/16 ISO 100
The challenging part about street photography is not knowing what you'll encounter and if you'll get home alive.Some people look at you suspiciously, some try to fight you, etc.Canon RP + EF 16-35 f/4L1/160 f/4 ISO 1000

>>4452751>whiny fascist OP>shitty photosWhat an awful thread.
>>4452815does fascist even mean anything anymore?
>>4452815Use them as inspiration to improve your own snapshits.
>>4452764>Some people look at you suspiciously, some try to fight you, etc.are you chinese or koreanthis is the only reason such a thing would happen in japan
>>4452821Lots of things to discuss or think of, but there's only racism in your head?
>>4452815He also seems to like the smell of his own farts
>>4452822oh, you're a blackyeah, that's why they're looking at you like that japs are mega racist
>>4452825Me being black has nothing to do with the thread your nazi.The photos of the thread itself are too good to be discussed, as no one has pointed any flaws or posted anything autoral better yet. All you do is yapping about useless shit.
>>4452826>Me being black has nothing to do with the thread your nazi.it literally does though because you made a thread mostly about street photography and your experience in street photography isn't equivalent to that of white or east asian people since if you're white or east asian people just ignore you and assume you're an important journalist or something if you have a camera
>mirrorlesscuck chronicles: streetnigger edition
>>4452828Let's be clear about something. His pictures are better than anything you've ever posted (not saying much) I just dislike him
>>4452829That's a really low bar since I don't post my passable or above material here.
>>4452826>me being blackthis was the end of your thread OP>>4452764>some people look at you suspiciously, some try to fight you, etc.you get what you givetry not acting like a sus street nigger in a foreign country you pavement apeshow some fucking respect
>>4452830Kek>>4452831Yo, what’s good senpai? You gonna come at me like that, actin' like you ain't got no respect for folks of color? Man, imagine bein' that privileged.
>>4452829So you ain't feelin' folks of color, huh? Racism right at the top, huh?
>>4452839>>4452841the larp could have been believable before these weak tired bait posts. 5/10 go back to troll school, you sprung the trap too quickly.
>>4452841Nah, you just come off as a narcissistic pretentious hack. If anything my dislike of you was lessened when I found out you're black. I get it, you've got a chip on your shoulder so you own a bunch of expensive gear and shit. Your pictures aren't even bad, better than the pictures of sexually abused dogs and disgusting fat hands fondling eggs that usually get posted here. You're just taking things too seriously bro.
>>4452842Get hip to that photography game, senpai.>>4452843If I was white, y’all be givin' me props. It's straight-up racism, ya feel me?
>>4452844Ignore him. The guy you're talking to hates photography more than anything else in life and goes around ruining all the good threads.Tell him to post a photo he has taken or you won't engage anymore. (He doesn't own a camera.)
>>4452843You’re probably a projecting zoophile that dropped his trip (cinefag) or mindlessly parroting said zoophile
>>4452844I’m black too nigguh im from /pol/ 80% of us are black, chinese, mexican or middle easternthese photos are mediocre. get closer and say WASSAAAAAAAP
>>4452909I should probably be shoving the camera at people's face, they say the closer you get the better it gets.>>4452907They state they only post the mediocre and passable here. In reality, they have nothing to share. Maybe when they develop their skills more, they'll be able to become semi-pro.
>>4452910People do have better, but most people are sane and respect others so there’s no street and therefore nothing safe just honest christian portraits
>>4452910Different guy.
>>4452912>People do have betterLet me guess champsAnimal pics, average family and friends portraits, badly edited landscapes, out of focus wildlife and blurred sports.KekAnd i say more, everyone doez street photography at some point. It's da most engagin' and fun niche out there. Most people that ignore it are broke and photograph for da money.
>>4452913You got the same name champs, my bad chill. You both anonymous.
>>4452914Street photography is shit. It’s disrespectful and lacks artistic merit.
>>4452923So it's basically /p/ if it was a photography genre?
>>4452923So you clearly don't understand the concept. You are the type of karen who charges at people for recording or taking photos of your *very important self* in public spaces. Surveillance cameras also record you on a daily basis, ya know?>and lacks artistic merit.You have no culture and probably never read anything besides self-help, personal development and business.
>>4452923Based and correct>>4452925Street photography is anti-culture. It was created to subvert and mock.
>>4452925Street photography has never been art, and it never will be.>muh surveillanceWhy do street snapshitters always go to this drug addict-tier defence? I guess their minds can't connect that people inherently recognize the difference between security cameras in their day-to-day lives that they have no control over VS. some miserable asshole knowingly violating their space for self-gratification.
street photography isn't subversive enoughthe next evolution is people putting their cameras on top of their AR-15s and attaching the camera trigger directly to every pull of the AR-15s triggerThen going on mass shootingsI call this incelography, or sandyhook style social critiquewithin the next 10 years this will replace all street photographymark my words you communists
>>4452985How is that in your argument's favor? Once again, this is junkie logic.
>>4453012>uses your wifi router to echolocate a 3d map of you fucking your gay lover and posts it on kiwifarmsWoops!
>>4453014Your hypotheticals are getting less and less relevant. I think we're done here.
>>4453020In public there is no expectation of privacy. You need to create it yourself, so wear a mask, sunglasses, etc.
>>4452981You are in a public space, so I don't know how does that make you feel entitled to not be registered by a camera.If you don't wanna expose yourself, stay at home.The possibility of being ashamed of seeing yourself online indicates you are either not taking xare of yourself or you're doing something wrong.Have some self confidence and let me enjoy my art.I also rarelt photograph ugly people, so you're probably safe anyways.
>>4453022>You need to create it yourselfI do it by breaking streetfag cameras
>>4453023>artThere it is folks
>>4453025Same but I don't do it to "create a expectation of privacy" but to assert dominance
>>4453028Cinefag, aren't you supposed to be doing cinema?Let the artists cook>>4453025Who took your photo? Why would that be relevant to you? Being exposed changes what in your life? You go out everyday, don't you? People see you, you interact ...If I take your picture on the streets, you're are just a random element to add to my composition, or even someone who bombed my photo, so don't act as if you were a celebrity.
>>4453025>gets pepper sprayed or worse>goes to jail>gets suedLove it.
>>4453032Pepper sprayed or worse? I open carry my AR-15 when I do it, while wearing a gorilla face mask (I'm black so it's not racist). I've done it tens of thousands of times and never been caught, cry more ytboy
>>4453039>Least obvious LARP ever postedIn reality you are a limp dicked pussy that gets photographed by street togs and then seethes about it online.
>>4453023Nice coping mechanism. A lot of excuses to disguise your self-indulgent nature and your disrespect (even disdain) of everyone around you.You are not an artist. You don't have the courage.
>>4453054I'm already doing more than you, acting instead of yapping online.
>>4453056You're both acting like a faggot and yapping online about your perceived superiority to people who are objectively better than you in every way

>>4453061under exposed snapshit
>>4453061Overexposed artwork. Make it darker and add grain.
>>4453210why are you so angry?
>>4453057That's coming out of your mouth, tells you much about the hatred you have towards innocent people. Don't reflect your own frustation towards me, while I enjoy making my craft.
>>4453210>underexposure is when it’s overcast
Genuinely run me through when to use each PASM modeplease
>>4453257P mode if you're unsure how to work a camera but don't want to use the GREEN AUTO MODE+Av mode for when you're in good light and can sustain base ISOS(Tv) mode, for when you're trying to go for a specific amount of motion blur, and would rather sacrifice DoF for a lower ISO (only useful with wide aperture lenses)M for greatest level of control. Combine with Auto ISO for a simple and powerful mode useful with less favourable light conditions
>>4452761I’m sorry, but what do you mean by freezing with the flash?
>>4453934High powered cold flash.
>>4453934So when you shoot in low light, firing a flash with slow shutter speeds essentially “freezes” the moment you flashed in your subject. Think about like if a ball was travelling across the frame, because the light is low the camera can’t really see it too well in any one place. If you fire a flash, the camera will see it, but only in the spot where it was when you flashed. So you “froze” the ball in the image with the flash, even if you were capturing for it crossing the whole frame. I’m not sure if that’s a good explanation maybe someone can do it more clearly.
>>4453934>>4453979This anon explained it.I think I used 2nd curtain mode.
>>4453979Great explanation, thanks!
I tried to use chat gpt to make a CInestill 800t preset. Not sure how good the halation stuff is, might be a little too fake for me
>>4454127
>>4454128
>>4454127Have you compared it to real cinestill?
>>4454148yeah I compared it to a few shots. I find that sometimes the green and halation are less extreme. I'll probably try adding some more green. Any other suggestions?

>>4454297I'm never going to use film I just think the look is cool
>>4454296increasing the highlights, they gotta be blown a bit
I want to get much better at photography, specifically using film. I know and recognize the advantages and capabilities of digital. But hear me out.I want to improve my digital photography. In doing so, I'd like to learn where photography started. That is film. I purchased an older 35 mm film camera with interchangeable lenses and am working with it. But things like film speed, light measurements, etc. are all things that I have to be very diligent about where as digital I could make adjustments on the fly, knowing the results, but not truly understanding why the results. So, I have two questions for you. If I wanted to really excel at film photography, what single book would you say stands above the rest (keep in mind mathematical equations on focal points, light calculations, image composition, etc) and how would you measure your growth and success?
>>4461573Idk about books, but if you can see a finished print in your mind, take the picture, develop, then print it close to how you imagined you are pretty decent at film, or at least have the fundamentals down well enough to enable your creativity to the fullest extent. Sometimes you may envision a final print, but then your technical abilities don't allow you to get the negative you need to make the print.
This is a brain-dead tip I'm sure but if you're shooting with a wider lens like a 28mm and you're not happy with your shots then it's 99% probable that you need to get closer to your subject. A part of the excitement of the wide angle look is the distortion that appears from being near a subject.
