Go /p/ro:
• Please post images that are JPG format and ideally smaller than 1 MB, and/or about 1000 pixels on the longest side.
• Expect to be judged harshly. Learn to deal with it.

Want:
• We come here for photos, so post yours as often as possible, even if "image unrelated" to your text.
• "Flickr/500px/Tumblr/Facebook/Portfolio" threads are for critique and networking.
• Use "Recent Photos" threads if you are shy or only want to post a couple of photos.
• Shared raw files which we can collectively edit for discussion of post-processing techniques, are encouraged.
• Use the Catalog to consolidate similar topics (photographic themes, images or technical gear threads).

Do not want:
• Go to /wsr/ or /r/ for specific Photoshop requests.
• Gear threads are discouraged, but identified as necessary. Many users simply hide these threads.

I don't understand. I've been taking photos and videos for over 10 years yet they still suck. I don't know why that is. I get told by family and friends my images are good, but every time I post it on the net there's someone there that says it's awful.

Do you all know?

(Side note to mods. The pepefrog image is related to photography. It shows him using a camera).

Alright got it. Snapshots are shitty because they lack any creative input. Snapshots are the equivalent of stick figure drawings in the photography world.

>>4311015

Yeah, about time you said something reasonable

>>4309905
>https://imgur.com/user/Zack194/posts -these are just snapshits- nothing worth looking at desu.

Look up Joel Peter Witkin, Bruce Gilden, Vivian Maier, Weegee- look up paintings for crying out loud! and try to mimic that!
You come off very LEFT brained to me in a paradoxical way- like your ideas are coming from the right side, but being filtered through the left side almost as if you're too insecure of pure creativity or you're over thinking things- Kinda like how directors aren't responsible for cinematography, the director of cinematography is lighting and photographing a movie- the director is just dictating. You come off more as a director in my analogy.

Logistically, i think you need a lower aperture to get more depth of field, and you need better compositions and framing.
Try and mimic some twee shit to start off with. Start a tumblr if you wanna dilute your brain with images. Watch some criterion collection movies... i dunno.

I also suggest you to buy an slr 35mm film camera. Learning the basics about how aperture, shutter speed, and iso affect images will help you be a little more discriminate in your choices for photos, especially when your snaps are limited and cost you money. Any cheap slr will do. You be surprised how much an actual lens gives depth and character to your images compared to your cheap phone. Learning how to use an external flash is going to help you by elevating your shitty compositions. If you learn proper compositions flash will make your photos look professional. Nothing of what i saw looking decent on your imgure except for this image here.
https://imgur.com/gallery/pwtILFP


once you learn how to shoot with an external flash find a model and set up a photoshoot. you can find models for free on your local facebook groups. just be honest and upfront about how you want to develop your porfolio- models are usually willing to work for free in these groups.

I completely agree with this. He has no idea how to use his camera, and he didn't even acknowledge how he has to study composition instead of pointing and clicking at things as if he's blind.

>>4310393
what do you agree with? because it seems like they were giving you really great constructive criticism, and everything they said was really worth taking it.

It seems you got upset at it because it hurt your feelings or you don't believe him out of stubborness. You really don't ever utilize depth of field, white balance seems all off, compositions are terrible, you don't even shoot at golden hour to make the best of ambient lighting.

>>4311035
I also agree. Buying a manual 35mm camera forces you to understand the camera in order to get a photograph. Paying money per snap forces you to really think about what your photographing. And you really have to be slow and steady in order to shoot with a manual camera, at least newbies.

What the fuck do you know about anything Zach? We've all seen your horrendous snapshits.
>>
>>4310984
Well you see the best telephoto lens is one that gets the most out of the subject. If you're doing bird photos, because birds fly away when you get 20 feet close, I'd suggest getting a 400-600mm telephoto lens. 70-200 sometimes does not help with nature photos as can be seen by my overly cropped "snapshits".

I have heard very very good things about the Ricoh GRIII on YouTube and Reddit and am about ready to pull the trigger to make photography fun again and have a camera that is truly always with me so I don't miss any special moments.

But recently I have checked some of the photos from the camera on Instagram and they seem really poor. The smearing is almost worse than an iPhone 15 Pro and it's a lot bigger and almost the same price. Has anyone here actually used one or have links to good photos taken with them? I don't want to waste money if it is just a meme and not actually good.

Not maximizing your stability by doing Asian dadcore when shooting is your loss, kiddo.
>>
>>4310965
is there? I don't think you can get much more detail out of 16Mpx, anyway I have no stocks in Ricoh so I'm just happy I've been of help lol. Honestly the way they made the GR III (less buttons, no flash and a wheel that fails on a lot of people iirc) made me doubt for the future of this line, it's already a niche product and I feel they are relying too much on the hipster crowd to keep it afloat. An APS-C compact camera can do more than street photography, ultralight hiking faggotry for example could be a potential market for this thing

All video related questions and discussion is intended for this thread. Here we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.
Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.
We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras and higher) and have interchangeable lenses.
In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.

I plan on trying my hat at making some short films being director and cameraman, are there any good practical books on cinematography that looks at great shots from classic film and explains how it was created? Does that exist?

No matter what I do, I can't get my Nikon Z6 II to capture a sharp photo.
Pinpoint AF, tripod, shutter delay, changing apertures, whatever. Even tethering and going completely hands off. Doesn't matter what I do or how I do it, everything always inevitably looks like shit down at the 1:1 pixel level. There's always a soft blur. Not a single point in the frame is ever truly sharp.

This is a problem because I got this thing with the intent to digitize a bunch of stuff including some pretty big originals (too big to fit in a flatbed scanner) where I want to keep fine detail with 1:1 framing, no zooming in for separate "detail" shots. I set a goal for the ability to frame something 19x13 and get a sharp quality 300 DPI, but this isn't cutting it. At all. I don't know if it's my lens (NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8) or if it's my sensor not having enough resolution. Maybe the AA filter is ruining my fine details? or maybe advertised resolution itself is a scam when behind a bayer sensor?

I only care about such fine details in situations where the camera will be mounted and capturing still subjects.
Would a camera without an AA filter do better?
Should I get a 45MP Nikon or a 61MP Sony?
Would pixel shift likely solve all my problems?

All these replies and nobody's tried just sharpening the image, which is what OP should be doing anyway, as these images are all perfectly fine.
OP, while your camera and lense are both high quality and functioning perfectly, you are using spherical optics to expose an image on a bayer sensor, manage your expectations.

Does Z even have any other (100+mm) options? I guess you could adapt an F lens and save some money. Nikon's always had great macro lenses so you can't go wrong. Don't forget to put some money into lighting and diffusers as well. Macro is all about good artificial lighting.

In macro? I don't think so. My research leads me to believe it's going to get me much better in frame small subjects than my 23-120mm. I've ordered a small LED/diffuse set that I should be getting soon. In the meantime I just enjoy going to the forest and seeing what I can find.

Has anyone here tried wide macro? Not 1:1, obviously, but something like 1:4, 1:5. I find that having more context often makes for more interesting images and stepping away a bit is one way, but I was thinking that shooting wide might create an interesting perspective.

Recommendations for F mount are welcome. The 20 1.8 can apparently do 1:4.3. One of the more expensive lenses, but everyone says how great it is, so there's that. Or maybe 20 is too wide, considering the working distance it would give me. The tamron 35 1.8 can do 1:2.5, that seems lice too.

That's stepping away. And I did get some nice pictures that way, but it's still very much a "human" perspective. The idea with wider fov is that it would create more insect-like perspective and better pull you into the picture.

I was given a 1940s projector and about 2 dozen reels of home movies from 1936-1960s. I want to try recording the picture from the wall instead of sending them in to be digitized (about $1300 for all)
Two issues: the projector has a variable speed knob so there’s no way of knowing what speed it’s running at (fps)
Second: I don’t know what the frame rate is of the captured film, did home portable 16mm cameras have a standard rate?

When I try to capture with my video camera I get rolling bars and blurred frames because the recording frame rate (I set it to 1/30) is out of sync with the projector. Anyone have any advice?

/fgt/ daily reminder (courtesy by anon): one stop per decade is (generally) bullshit
>negative film ages better than positive
>black and white better than color
>slow films better than fast
>storage conditions (dry/cool) matter more than years
>Negative film is shot 1 or 2 stops overexposed and then PULLED in development so that you build more density in the exposure and develop less such that the fog is limited
>slide/positive film is shot at box speed or overexposed and pulled.
>if you home develop you can also use benzotriazole as a restrainer for the the first developer in E6 process
