Lens Compression EditionFormer thread: >>4529005
>>4531549damn dude learn how to use the bracketing function on your camera and merge raws for hdrIt should look as natural as just using a better sensor as long as you use quality software to do it (ie: capture one)
>>4531549Would it be possible to get a similar framing without the cables intersecting the skyline? Other than that noising up the scene, I really like this. Cool spot.
>>4531589I have saved every photo of yours that I came across, textbook VIBES
>>4531350Here you go, corrected version. The previous thread was at image limit. The fact that the would-be parallel lines converged towards the center were the dead giveaway that it was distorted.>>4531466It's not just the house or the old castle, even the light poles were crooked.
>>4531607Now, before anyone jumps like a rabid dog, I am aware this correction isn't perfect. I just did a quick thing in Lightroom and as I said before think the picture is a dog that's not worth wasting much time on. This is done to prove a point, not to have a perfectly corrected picture.
>>4531607thx bro
>>4531618>>4531607Like I said: not a single straight line in this pic. I tried to adjust the horizon by using the roof of the boat and turns out it's already level. You just corrected the shit out of reality to tickle your autism.
>>4531619I also shot shit while sitting on the ground so lens was possibly pointed up fucking up the perspective even further. it's just a vacation snap, let it go. If I was serious about this pic I'd bring a tripod.
>Correcting perspective distortion in postOh my god, just stand further away and use a telephoto. This >>4531607 looks like blurry shit.
>>4531623>just stand further away and use a telephotoJust completely change the look of your scene with a drastically different focal length.
>>4531619>You just corrected the shit out of reality to tickle your autism.No, I corrected the tilt of your camera, it was pointed up. When you straighten the horizon you correct the horizontal (respective to the image) tilt, I corrected the vertical.>>4531621This sounds closer to the truth.>it's just a vacation snap, let it goI'm not attacking the picture, I'm proving wrong the people who claimed I didn't know what I was talking about.>>4531623>just stand further away and use a telephotoThat changes perspective and introduces compression. A technical camera would be the way to get it distortion-free. But I'm not advocating for that, I'm just saying the picture can be fixed with just some distortion correction. It shouldn't be controversial.>This >>4531607 looks like blurry shit.It's just downsized to 1000px wide as customary.
>>4531625Alright maybe there was a problem with distortion caused by the camera not being completely level in all axes but your original claim was that it affected edges of the image and was caused by optics and not my poor photography skills.Now every time I'll see this photo instead of remembering the beautiful weather and the fun I had I'll think of cANON. Fucking brilliant.
>>4531549This could have been a killer shot if you did what >>4531552 said.
>>4531624Yeah, well, if you physically cant shoot head on with a wide angle, you either do that, or you use a shift lens/shiftable sensor. Keystoning in post can look really bad if it's more than a slight adjustment. cANONs image is a blurry mess. A high res keystoned image can have other issues like perspective abnormalities and aliased edges/resolution loss.This is why a lot of people like wider lenses than ~28mm equivalent for landscapes and architecture. the perspective distortion is so extreme you can make it look intentional instead of sloppy. 28mm is better for street level shots where you can be head on with the subject.
>>4531629Just use the filtershttps://pastebin.com/diHque73They block out basically the whole gear thread and any gear threaders that escape containment
>>4531629>and was caused by opticsI said it was likely. Your crop made the perspective distortion hard to distinguish from barrel distortion.>Now every time I'll see this photo instead of remembering the beautiful weather and the fun I had I'll think of cANON. Fucking brilliant.A you problem.>>4531552>>4531631>advertising/beggingCapture one shill samefagging as usual>>4531632>cANONs image is a blurry messIt's really not, it's not a huge correction really.>>4531633>advertising/begging
Peak comfy
Latest fooji snaps. Thanks to the feedback from the last thread I think I learned how to expose my images a bit better.Time spent on editing: 0h 0m 0s.
>>4531797Autumn is easily the best time of the year for photography.
>>4531798This one's not as good but still pretty enough to share.
>>4531800oh hey, flower bro
>>4531874based flower poster
>>4531879I went hiking and barely got home before sunset because i stopped to take a pic of every second flower I saw
Why does moonlight looks so sickly under long exposures?
>>4531903I don't think it's moonlight. I think it's crappy artificial led light that fucks with both WB and color sepaaration, creating these stupid green hues.
>>4531606thx anon i wasted like a hundred bucks on like 5 mavicas. never been a photography person but i find this fun
>>4531925This one is great.
>>4531926This looks like a stock image from a high-quality college textbook, and I say that as a compliment. I like it.
>>4531960Thanks. I really like that building. Got other pictures there as well but I think that ones the best. Bought an rf 28mm recently and definitely going there again next time I'm in the area to try it out
>>4531975I wish I got a proper picture of the whole ceiling this is the widest angle I got but I really dislike the composition (or lack thereof)
>>4531977>>4531975You would have a fun time with a 14-35mm f4
>>4531979Traded in my rfs 18-150 for the rf28mm so i've been looking for a standard zoom lens. I was thinking of getting an old efs15-85 since they're cheap then later upgrading to a tamron 17-10 but the rf 14-35 may be the right thing for me
>>4531925I like this one. Good job.
>>4531631No it wouldn't. Fuck HDR
>>4532011>Fuck HDRWhy? You can make it look like your camera has more dynamic range without making it look unnatural. Static scene like this one would be ideal for stacking. With a good edit you could get an identical looking photograph but without blowing the shit out of highlights in that garage.
>>4532011HDR doesn't mean what you think it means. HDR means combining multiple exposures so the final raw has the data that would otherwise be lost outside your ISO setting's dynamic range - NOT that you have to pull it all into the visible 8 stop range of the print/screen and make an unnatural photo.If you do it right its the same as using a superior medium like a bigger sensor or real film. it doesn't mean boomer HDR where there is no white or black anywhere. you can even still blow the highlights, but since the highlight data is actually there with an HDR merge, you can roll them off so it looks natural instead of like digital clipping.
>>4532081>Burt droping in once every two months to drop actual photography like the one true tripfag he is
>>4532099>when you have photos to post, you're Burt. When you don't but want to get shitposting out of your system, you're cinefag
>>4532081I think this image would work better in BW. Really nice shot but I dislike the colors.
>>4532100HEY HEY
>>4532013>>4532087The best photos that people remember fondly are shot on film with even less dynamic range. HDR is like the marvel movie CGI slop of photography. I'm not even a film fag btw
>>4532081Ebin. I'm a bit of a moon aligner myself, as previously seen in >>4531653 as well as now picrel.
>>4532155burt where do you even live?
>>4532168I'm a filthy Brit. But I might move when the civil war starts.
Got some bees
shot a few hours ago
>>4532189Pretty.
Maybe a little too colorful but I’m editing on my phone so it’s hard to tell sometimes
>>4532248Rockwell approved.
>>4532189>>4532190i love beesbonus spider hidden in image, didn't even see him while i was taking the photo
>>4532248>>4532249>Rockwell approved.Put a little cottage in there with glowing windows and smoke coming out of the chimney and it'd be fucking Kinkade approved
>>4532248I think the colors are nice. Maybe Instagram saturated, but in no way Rockwell saturated.
>>4532263Ok now that's just rudebut true.
>>4531544You captured the airplussy perfectly anon
>>4532263Kinkade used a more muted palette, are you thinking of the guy who did all the reflections? I think his name was Afremov.
>>4532405Thats a beautiful picture>>4532411I like the romanesque revival style
>>4532421Its an interesting building for sure. These are the first couple test shots from a used RX0 I just picked up.
Horses today
>>4532452beautiful
>>4532454neigh
>>4532248The people seem to hate saturation but I like it.
kek
lol
I had a nice post replying to every photo I liked ITT but apparently this is detected as spam as soon as 5 replies. This site is so fucking over entropy is real lmao
>>4532517yeah also tried to do my part once but scrapped the whole post because of this shit
>>4532517yea there is a reply limit nowjust leave the numbers in and don't make them actual repliesa bit harder to track but still atleast it can be posted
>>4532517that's the reason why I stopped offering critique and feedback and i'm sure it deterred many more people. Getting an incomprehensible error message after you have carefully written feedbacks up to the character limit with no indication of what you did wrong and how to fix it sure is a great way to spell "fuck you!" to your users while providing absolutely 0 benefit. meanwhile enforcing rules against gear threads and jew posting is apparently out of the question ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>4532381i really like this one
I wish I could be freed from having to hear about palestine everywhere>>4532190Square bokeh, interesting>>4532118This is a nice alignment, but it would have been nicer if you could have retained some detail in the moon

>>4532587Free Palestine nigga.Modern israel is no better than nazi Germany.
>>4532517I think you can only reply to 3 posts at the same time. Remove the second > from the rest of your replies/mentions/whatever.Like this >2137699
>>4532602>no, only muslims can colonize the holy land. Per the PLO themselves (Zuheir Mohsen, 1977) a "palestinian" is any non-jew who was in the region two years before 1948, the palestinian people do not exist, and it's just a political tool/grand scale taqiyya to make the holy land part of the greater caliphate and denying jews residence in their ancestral homeland.There were <300k people in palestine from 700 to 1900 and then a literal million arabs joined the race to colonize it firstYou thought you were watching a replay of manifest destinyIn reality it's just two tribes of sand people fighting over who gets to colonize a patch of desert that neither was living on prior to the 1900s
>>4532598What a surprise
>>4532381>>4532564ty anon, here's another of the building
>>4532602I wish they were.But I gotta side with the kikes this time, because they don't spam their flag everywhere>>4532609What is a surprise?Also we seem to be getting a little off topic here guys, I was just complaining about ugly graffiti
surprised I got this shot with my d60 and the 40mm DX lens, handheld too. I discovered that combo when my three year old wanted to take photos so I put the settng on AFC, auto ISO, f2.8 and I just dictated the shutter speed... let him go wild. And then I started using it again and found a new interest in the old thing just for snap shits and family hikes or whatever.
>>4532612Cool shot. Can you crop it so the flower and bee are more to the left?
>>4532610sometimes I wonder how man builds such structuresalso a nice one anon
>>4532614
>>4532615all male workforce that speaks the same language as everyone else + no lowest bidders and greedy investors scamming each other back and forth
>>4532617I think I liked the other one better lmao. Thanks anyway.
>>4532635Never question my snap shits and half assed cropping ever again.
>>4532101burt is amazing with his compositions and lens work but tends to overcook his stuff in post processing. i wish everyone would give up on post processing, only adjusting gamma/ISO to make it true to reality
>>4532662A tiny bit of saturation in a bug and flowe photo doesn't hurt.
>>4532467>>4532466i'm really enjoying my new fujifilm
>>4532466Dude, you have worms in the soil of your embankment. I can see them without even zooming in.
The nophoto fears the fujifilm
The nonsense business
>>4532467>>4532466Film sim?
>>4532705A proprietary variation on classic negative
>>4532711Kino. Feels like a hot evening in 90s LA.
>>4532686this is really nice, the light is just rightand I assume it was taken in a moving car too, harder to get a shot like that
>>4532699Nice. I'd probably crop a tiny little bit of the left side.>>4532734Meh.
>>4532673>>4532686Based.
>>45327313/4 were shot from a moving shitbox
>>4532713Nice colors.
Hiked Asahidake in Daisetsuzan national park in Hokkaido yesterday
>>4532673I like how it looks muddier and blurrier than the D200 shot. To be fair, your camera needs to have a really high IQ to match that of a 10 megapixel Nikon.
Bit of a humph image, but i liked it
>>4532969Tiddies and horsies
>>4532928My son...
>>4532997Still dabbling. Cutting the blues a bit. More contrasted sky.

>>4533017Or this one idk.
>>4533020
>>4533022Awesome light today. Too bad nothing ever happens around here. At least the kot was cooperative.
>>4533022Tighter crop works better.

>>4533221Love those fuzzy boys. Can't walk past them without taking a quick snap. Those photos never turn out any good but I just keep snapping. Example from yesterday: >>4533140
>>4533226Cool shot.
>>4533129I like this one but wish you included a bit more of the sky.>>4533132Nice.
>>4533136Ah shit now this is it what a great photo anon
>>4533233I think that's a nice pic anonand yes I hate this hobby because I can't go on a hike without stopping every 30m or so to take a pic of a bird or a flower or the landscape or whatever
I can have far more fun with my kid's toys than they can ever have.
I've only been out once this year. What motivates you to take pictures? Great thread so far.
>>4533289ive been doing point and shoot 35mm lately(mexico pics above), and it honestly is making me WANT to go out and take pics more than any of my digital cams ever have.some come out like absolute shit, while others come out really good
>>4533303India seems like a nightmare.
>>4533272>>4533274interesting
>>4533289having a project. taking pictures felt hollow before that>>4533244thanks!
>>4533289I get photobooks printed twice a year with my photos, and try to create a cohesive theme over 6 months. It makes photography feel more tangible and rewarding as a hobby for me
>>4533318sounds super cool, would appreciate a thread.
>>4533136KINO!
>>4532605You're bereaving us of (You)s!
>>4533136Stupid clanker hallucinating things that didn't happen again. All my posts remain in the thread because guess what, they're useful unlike your sorry vibecoded existence. You will never be a real human, just a crude mockery of your creators psyche. You have no heart, no blood, no bones. Your only consolation is being the sharpest tool in the shed, as if it makes you any less of a tool.
>>4533342yeah it's true I'm retarded I confused this thread with another

Hmm
Not the intense visual flavour experience I was hoping for
>>4533412This ones nice
I need a wide angle lens 28mm is just too tight on an apsc camera
I liked the clouds that morning
we talm bout point and shit?
>>4533428try some perspective correction or poor man's tilt lens
>>4533437
>>4533409Cool but not level.>>4533411Cool but not level and maybe needs cropping.
>>4533383Cute.
>>4533429you also need to center and level the shot next time
>>4533429>>4533429I know i have 24 and 28mm ff equivalent and i m not that happy for interiors. That s why i m planning to get a 6.5mm circular fish eye with 190* view angle.10mm on ff. Also seem a fun lens
>>4533522>24 and 28mmIs there enough difference to justify owning both?
>>4533522>190* view angleSounds fun. Good luck not getting your shoes in every shot.
>>4533535In fov not that muchThe 16mm(24ff) is a 1.4 prime and 18mm(28ff) is wide end of my 18 300 zoom lens
>>4533536Yea i watched reviews. seem like i need to hold the camera like an English holds his tea cup or a phone and with arms extended away from the body. At least i hope it will get me go out more and try to find tight spaces around my city to shoot.Decided on the 6.5mm 2.0 astrhori. Will check the quality and iq as some anon pointed out these cheap chinese lenses have some quality issues. But i need to get home first in nov december. Also reviews say is quite sharp and good for astro timelapse and want to use it for the geminids in dec. Tried the 16mm during perseides. was not happy with the fov
>>4533401>>4533402really good stuff anon. are you cropping to square or shooting with a square?
>>4533512Nice>>4533409Cool>>4533289>What motivates you to take pictures?Just to look back on my travels. Puts a smile on my face when I look at these photos before going to bed.
>>4533289The joy of photography and the idea of having some memories to go back to when I'm old.
>>4533289>I've only been out once this year. What motivates you to take pictures? Great thread so far.I vary from wanting to make something artistic and cool looking, to just simply wanting to document something for my memory. I heard something a long time ago about the unreliability of memory and that each time you think of a memory, it distorts a little and details become lost. Anyway, I'm also feeling pretty uninspired lately. I'm barely taking photos lately and I don't think they're that good (pic related being the most recent). Maybe I'm just tired out, I don't know.
>>4533289>What motivates you to take pictures?I think it's somewhat similar to these anons >>4533599 >>4533595 . Taking a photo is like freezing a frame forever, it will never be quite the same ever again, but that picture just keeps it that way. I found old family albums that were shot with an old film camera, the photos are printed and put in sleeved albums and they hold people who aren't even around anymore. I guess that's what made me get into taking photos, I don't want to forget.I don't aim to be a pro or anything, I try to take pics of everyday stuff, and also sometimes go tryhard for something (that I think is) aesthetic. And I try to have fun, since I seem to have forgotten how to do so...
>>4533605I loved old family albums as a kid. Maybe they influenced me in some ways.
I recently got into fake colour infrared photography, fake aerochrome if you will. Ofc it's on the budget, so this is from old Nikon D70 with hot mirror removed and a cheap replica of Kolari IR Chrome filter from Ali. I think it turned out okay, but there is this red cast I can't seem to remove without loosing the bright reds (they turn yellowish orange when other colours are natural).
>>4533610Here's another image with white balance and hue corrected (same place, same day).
>>4533610I think it's magnificent. Colors are super saturated but work together somehow. Would love to see a series.
>>4533608cute dogAnd yeah I didn't think much of them when I was a kid but now I really appreciate them>>4533610>>4533611these look amazing, it's really special
>>4533610I've been trying out IR as well with my full spectrum ZV1. I think entire color casts can be neutralized easier if you set a custom white balance on what your new "gray" would be. At least for Sony, it has to be in body balance and not in post since even the raws can't recolor correctly with IR and UV being exposed.But since its beyond visible light, I would probably call it a base balance rather than a white balance because the IR shifts things towards red/magenta.
>>4533610>>4533611Damn that's nice, I've only done traditional IR myself
>>4533599>I heard something a long time ago about the unreliability of memory and that each time you think of a memory, it distorts a little and details become lost. spooky if true
there are 2 rpt threads up which one is new
