Who are they aping? Almost all have the cadence and tone of a best buy sales associate either slowly conniving a golden HDMI cable sale or postponing their suicide on a Sunday evening only since their parents are still alive; with no in-between. I meet smarter and more interesting people IRL at camera club or local stores, so it's not as if this hobby is exclusively for people prescribed Klonopin and SSRIs. Half of them are just talking head slop direct to camera talking about what gear to buy (micro four nerds) The ones that do teardowns and repairs of gear are usually fine, but those aren't exactly photo videos at that point. The only guy that does the \"video of taking photos\" thing I can stand is Nick LoPresti since he doesn't talk like he's constipated, but lately the lack of constipation has become a problem since he's been diarrhea-shitting up my sub box with low-effort commentary videos sitting in front of a green screen. Idk who he's aping there, 2016 twitch? Don't like it, especially one where he and his wife are politisperging about shit like how \"they can't use Google search for inane things because it'll track you\" for what feels like several minutes. Snappiness may be my second favorite even though he looks and talks like a queer (he has kids so I guess he isn't technically). At least he does ridiculous things with cameras that are more interesting than \"I walked and took a photo of something and had some ennui about it\". Also, I hate gxAce with a passion, dead horse of a gimmick beaten into dust at this point. 80% of his videos serve no purpose to the modal viewer since they're just a rain-dance to the corporate marketing teams to get them to send him gear. (Also combining sloppy wet deep-throat glazing prose with an aloof tone is uniquely excruciating to listen to.)"} | |

There are a few benefits of using a rangefinder: Shorter flange distance can mean sharper lenses when compared with SLRs, though this also depends on the specific lens. Less noise/vibration when taking a shot than some (especially older) SLR's. The vibration from mirror slap can reduce sharpness in photos, especially on older SLRs where dampers for the mirror may not be present or have deteriorated, see Nikon F. This is not an issue rangefinders suffer from. Also a quieter shutter can be useful in some circumstances. Being able to see your subject through the viewfinder before they are in frame. Obviously this only applies when using focal lengths narrower than the outer-most frame lines in your finder, so it's not always applicable. Generally easier to work on, fewer moving parts than an SLR due to not having the mirror mechanism. Everything else is either the same or a downside."} | |

The gear itself is perfectly serviceable with reasonably high sharpness and clarity from that lens. Shooting at f/2.8 or below will give you less ideal results but at f/4 and above the 50mm is a great performer. Sure you could get a nicer body for like $100-200 but that's up to you. I feel like it or me is just not responsive enough that by the time I figure out the focal lengths, the lighting, the shutter speed, the aperture I miss the moment and the photograph is dark and blurry anyway Take the fucking camera off of M mode. You don't get bonus points for making it harder on yourself. Stick the thing on Program or Av mode. Program might make more sense for you now since you're struggling but I like Av mode for most use cases as you still have full control over your DoF. Program mode does the work for you. You can still mess with parameters by 'adjusting the program' with your control wheel, it will just move your aperture and shutter speed around. Set your ISO to something that allows you to keep your shutter speed reasonably high like 1/125th. Buying more expensive gear only gives you more controls like a rear dial or a joystick or whatever. Useful but not mandatory to take good photos."} | |

| {"text":"Why do some people genuinely not see photography as art? It has existed for over 150 years, yet people still see it as nothing more than a reproduction of a subject. We live in an age of images, where our culture is steeped in the ubiquity of photography; the camera is inside everyone's phones, and proliferates on every app. Keep that in mind when you realise that a good photograph is hard to come by; despite an inundation of images, a truly beautiful piece of art, a stunning photograph, is harder to grasp. A photographer only hopes to make about one or two genuinely good photograph in their lifetime. But even if we narrow our assessment of photography to people who buy the right gear (film cameras, full frame cameras, mirrorless cameras, ecosystems of lenses), we find another issue. How many people in the photography community can even take a masterful photograph? The worst thing I see in hobbyist photography is not necessarily a lack of passion, but a lack of vision. A family snapshot with low technical skill is only interesting to the person who took it. You can find people on Lomography, Instagram, Discord, or Reddit just post photographs that boil down to these elements: lack of detail or sharpness tonally flat (i.e., no tone splitting, no contrast between highlights and shadows) no choice in colour or tones no pre-production elements that would convey vision or ideas centre-shot no forethought about depth of field, especially if someone is just using the same aperture all day like Sunny 16 noisy or grainy for no reason no meaningful use of negative space no sense of narrative flat with no sense of visual hierarchy (i.e., how your eye is supposed to be guided, from point to point) no ambiguity, so the photo is obviously just about a particular theme or subject"} | |

People will call me schizo, but if you compare a grain free 8x10 print made with enlarged 35mm film and an 8x10 contact print you will see an obvious image quality difference in the two prints.

Nearly 4 kg, it must be solid metal and glass inside and it has almost useless tripod foot so I bought one from really right stuff that you can use as a palm holder.

I trialled a few papers and found I like Ilford Smooth Pearl because it's best for a range of global adjustments, even if it's a bit too shiny. If you have printed, how many times did you have to print to get what you wanted? If I want to sell prints, should I just accept this is going to be a big learning curve? So many papers change how the photograph comes out and it's not an exact science. Postproduction is as much an artform as capturing an image with the camera. I'd love to hear what you have worked on and what you learned. I feel a bit in the dark but will probably realise what I want from my prints in the future. Some people can look at a print and immediately what is wrong with it, but my eyes still need some time to adjust while I learn."} | |

Anyway, NR Go lighter on lumainance NR than you'd normally accept for digital. Chroma NR should be basically the same though. Noise is hidden decently by the ink printing compared to digital viewing especially since you can't zoom in. Exposure Underexposed sections are exaccerbated (i've tried 5 different shops and this has been constant, ymmv) so you're better off lifting the shadows a fraction more than you'd be happy for digital. The extra noise is hidden rather well by the ink as above. Sharpening Edit for digital viewing as normal, then do another unsharp mask pass specifically for printing; it should look slightly too crunchy on a screen but the purpose is to overcome the micro-smearing from the ink. This can take some trial and error, as you can absolutely still oversharpen and it'll look like ass."} | |

And if you are a nepo kid but you're actually genuinely talented then you'll face a lifetime of people talking shit about you etc. Yeah some people benefit from having wealthy parents and just get shit handed to them, but it's just become a popular thing to hate more recently. But everybody would do that to their kids if they had the means.

The stuff in the OP is extremely basic commercial work that would pay like ass and would need to be propped up by his family. And I know because I was in different areas for commercial and it pays like ass across the board. It's a sad line of work to be in since people know it's a dream job to people and there will be 1,000 others that can instantly replace you. The only truly enjoyable paid photography work I've found is stuff like conventions or work you find yourself, where every job is in your control and you can stop working when you've had enough. My day job pays more than triple anything I got from professional work and now I just do conventions and corporate stuff on weekends for the fun and having a little extra money, since I can choose how long I work and where (or if at all, as I won't even do it every weekend or even every month)."} | |

Better to think of it as a general idea than a clearly defined rule, and if anyone gets all high and mighty over you using a 0.4x lens or something then that just means they're a massive faggot. Back in the day when basically every lens was between 0.2x and 0.1x magnification, the only way to get proper macro photos was with a dedicated macro lens (or bellows). These days more and more everyday lenses feature higher reproduction ratios with 0.5x being fairly common and normally the point that companies will slap the Macro moniker on it. Hell, my 100-400mm lens has a 0.42x ratio without trying, and it would be more than enough for decent enough macro."} | |

| {"text":"I'm sure somebody will just say it's because I'm a shitty photographer, which wouldn't be totally untrue, but to me it was like the aps-c REALLY needed totally ideal lighting to look good, where the full frame sensor is more forgiving. It's like the threshold for the quality of a \"normal\" image is a lot higher, so even stuff in non ideal lighting looks better from the get go. I don't know how to describe it, but I could just instantly tell I preferred full frame. That being said, I loved the size of the x100vi and the different configurations you could set it up as with the conversion lenses and external flash etc. both for photo and video. It was insanely handy, it just wasn't right for me."} | |
| {"text":"I know exactly what you mean, but for me it was the inverse path to yours. I started on APS-C as my first ILC and used it happily for, I kid you not, close to ten years. My dad has been running FF with an MF prime that whole time and every time I would look at his photos, I could see that the images would just come out differently. Eventually, I ended up buying a FF camera last summer and my images they have that same something that my dad's did, even though I'm running a superzoom. Hard not to be excited about FF with compact bodies like A7C2 and Zf."} | |

| {"text":"1/? This is the review of an OM-5 micro 4/3 camera. I am a full frame user, and I bought this camera to have a small, fun, attractive camera to take snapshits around town. I own or have owned a D850, Z5ii, Z6ii, basically every Nikon DXXX DSLR, D500, Z50, etc. This is my first M43 camera and I was not sure what to expect, so I am chronicling my impressions both for myself, and for other photographers who are looking for a small, fun camera. Ergonomics: This camera is outstanding IMO. For me the Nikon FF cameras are in this weird middle spot that is ergonomically uncomfortable for me. They are either too small or too big. The D850 and my D7500 fit my hand fantastically. I will always have a Nikon DSLR because they are so comfortable to hold and use. The OM-5 is smaller to hold than my Z5ii for example, and that gets it out of the uncomfortable middle ground. With the Z5, I’m always between holding it in front with all of my fingers, or just 3 – there isn’t really enough room for all 4, but with 3, it feels a little insecure. With the OM-5, three fingers fit perfectly. There is enough grip on the front and a great thumb rest on the back. The buttons are very well placed on the camera body for operation while shooting. Simply put, this is a very comfortable camera to hold and shoot. For reference, when I am walking around and shooting, I grip the camera the entire time in my right hand, and have a wrist lanyard for safety. This can be fatiguing with a larger DSLR (the D800 in particular had almost no thumb rest and it was agonizing to carry. The D850 is much better, but is just heavy and gets tiring on the wrist after several hours). The D7500 is extremely comfortable in this regard because of its blobmera shape and light weight. The Z series FF cameras are in the middle ground of just “ok”. The OM-5 was very good. TO BE CONTINUED"} | |

Even if you visit other prefectures you won't see much of a difference. Whenever I see camera vlogs or flickr uploads in Japan I now tend to skip because it's always the same. My current number one location would probably be Germany. Still safe enough to bring your camera with you, every state has it's own architectural style.

| {"text":"I'm quite new to this as well, so take my advice well-salted, but something I've been trying to do in my own post-processing that I think yours could use more of is crushing the dynamic range down a bit to make details more visible, specifically in the highlights/whites. Even if the whites don't happen to be blown out and there's still technically differences in the pixels, if they're extremely close to being the same values, then one might not be able to tell just by looking at it. For example: in this lego photo, the specular highlights in the blonde female's hair, or the specular highlights in the sitting female's shoulder. Those regions are so bright that there's almost no contrast with the actual specular reflections of the light source. is my edit, and while I wouldn't confidently say my version is some great example to look to, I will at least point out that I tried to preserve all of the contrasting details in the image. Every specular reflection is a small detail, rather than large regions being extremely bright and basically white. I like that yours is brighter overall, but I feel like reigning in the exposure a bit will help keep details visible. I think of bright specular reflections almost like stars in the sky, and you want less light pollution so that the stars are more visible. If that makes sense.. I think I like your edit of my cows the most, but I might just be biased :)"} | |

Besides, think of how much time it takes you to dev a single roll at home. Even if you've done it a hundred times and have all the chems ready to go, it still takes you a good 20-30 minutes to go through everything all the way to drying. I'm not surprised shops are charging $20 USD a roll to have an intern spend a solid half an hour on a single job."} | |

| {"text":"How do you do it? I've been getting more active with my photography for a few years now and it's starting to get messy. On my hard drive I have my pictures in different folder by year and month, so it's quick and easy to just clear out my SD card. Then in Lightroom I pick the images I like and want to use and put them in a collection. However usually I make one collection per \"set\" and very rarely group any of the collections. Only have a group for shooting at protests, one for portraits and a few for some multi-week trips I took that resulted in multiple photo-sets. In my context a set is just a collection of images with a similar theme or from the same day that I post on social media or send to friends or whatever. Having an ever growing list of collections seems like a problem waiting to happen, especially if I want to go pro one day, so I was wondering how you guys manage it? The only thing I've seen online that might be a good idea is maybe grouping my collections by location to make them a little easier to sort through when I end up visiting the same place multiple times."} | |

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."} | |

Also, since it’s supposed to look “illustrative,” I think, sharpness is working against you. Softness could improve the aesthetic quality of the image."} | |

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 :("} | |

| {"text":"Rest in peace King. Martin Parr was based for not giving a fuck and for making fun of people. Humanity is a not a sacred. More often than not it is grotesque race. Fuck those twitter subhumans who canceled him over nothing. May all of those die painful deaths."} | |
| {"text":"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."} | |
