It's that simple.

Who takes better photos? Cat people or Dog people?

Honestly idk what to do

Hello /p/, I need to take a selfie and use as my profile picture for work (have to be looking professional). Do any photo geniuses here have any tips?

Do you prefer slow compact zooms or fixed pancake lenses?

This is the IP of a thief who steals accounts, so I give it to them so they can do whatever they want with it

You're not a real photographer unless you shoot people.

Portraiture is the purest and most artistic form of photography bar none. Through portraiture you develop and exhibit the bare minimum of skill needed to engage artistically with other genres and employ some directorial talent to truly create the images you want, not just the ones you stumble into. If you never engage in portraiture you will never, ever develop anything resembling talent. The portrait is the fundamental skill, the pure photography. It is the deceptively simple dish that must be made perfectly, the one that amateurs fail at despite being decent at more complex meals, that you must master if you are ever to truly master anything else.

This fact is not up for debate. Even Ansel Adams did decent portraiture.

I bought this VCR from the thrift store and my friends thought it would be a great opportunity to make nintendo fursuit fetish content. I got it to work while plugged in but the battery says charged but won’t work. Does anyone know where i would find a replacement or some sort of conversion mechanism? the VCR model is CC4352 and the battery model is EP096FS/EP096FL

Noob here. Do you use edit or use different settings for sunny or overcast days?
My camera has three C settings on the PASM wheel that I plan to use like C1 - sunny, C2 - overcast, C3 - monochrome. I do very little post-processing and plan to keep it that way.
So should I bump the contrast on overcast days? Or change the histogram?

what is thing called? what lens is that/ which are useful for that?

Fuck that bitch ass Jannie that 404ed my on topic and thoughtful post about the Sony FX3. You do it for free faggot. I bet you take pictures of birds on your free time and are over weight. lmao. kys, hope you got hacked in the recent hack. Fuck you and fuck this dying board.

Am I retard if I buy the Sony FX3 for shooting video for my music projects? I bought my Canon R8, but I bought it with the intention of shooting photos and now I'm more interested in shooting a music video for my next project. It seems the Canon R8 works but the Sony would be great in low light situations. I'm a one man band so I need as much as convenience as I can get when it comes to features.

I'm not a videographer by any means but to get the level of video I want will likely cost me around $4k for a single video if I hire someone and I figure I can just power through (obviously I won't reach professional level for years but I've found that being in control of the the ideas and editing I can get decent results as opposed to having to deal with some time boxed project with a hired person who won't meet my autistic vision in the end anyways, nothing worse than hiring someone and realizing that its going to fall short of your creative vision midway through).

So with all that said, is the Sony FX3 a killer camera thats plug and play that will offer awesome quality if we assume I have good creative ideas and source material? ($4k is not a massive deal to me if its worth it, but if the quality and convenience is only going to be marginally better than I can easily achieve in the R8 then maybe its a bad fit). Lastly, I will be hiring a colorist in the end so just need something that will get me good footage. I will be doing non coloring editing myself.

I am a total begginner in term of photography hut i had a question , i try to take in picture sky during night / the moon , can an argentic (? Or disposable film photographer i dont know) can capture it , if no what are film photographers that can do it if its doable or if a phone can do ,it im currently on a 2013 samsung s4

I can literally use a regular camera and press the black and white button in post.

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.

Quick FAQS
>what’s the best camera available on a “budget”?
The blackmagic pocket cinema camera 4k, or the Panasonic gh5 (can pick one up for like 500 bucks atm)
>what’s a good beginner video camera?
Anything that works, shoots at least 1080p and preferably has interchangeable lenses. Any recommendation beyond that will cause arguments so read the fucking sticky if that isn't satisfactory.
>What's a good sound solution that won't break the bank?
Zoom h1
>Can I use a zoom lens for video?
Yes
>Do I need cine lenses?
No
>Do I need 4k?
No. 1080 looks great on a cinema screen. 4k looks better.
>Can someone tell me if my video is any good?
Yes, but be prepared to receive harsh criticism. If you're going to waste 5 minutes of our time with a shitty out-of-focus montage of nothing then we'll tell you that it's crap
>Is it okay to dox myself?
...Personally I wouldn't but what do I know?

How much does a camera body matter when pairing it to a lens? Do you have any combinations that work really well?

I recently gave up my smartphone, as I felt I was addicted to it and I am opposed to being stalked.

Now I am looking to get a camera, but there is so many different kinds. Where does one begin?

Is it the best book to learn about genders?

How do pharma commercials get the super saturated effect with out making the people look orange?

Should I major in art photography, commercial photography, or photojournalism?

Looking for resources on photo editing software and good, clear tutorials of how to use it. I imagine there are plenty of free software that mimic whatever Adobe has, but I know nothing about it.

There is a certain kind of highly stylized photography I want to get into. No pro camera at the moment; I figured that I can get some raw material to work with using a phone and learn how to use the programs first. I imagine that the functions and values are all the same between different platforms and its just the ergonomics and layouts that are different.

I'm coming at this completely from scratch and know almost nothing about photography. Every resource i find assumes I have some basics already and it seems like a tough hurdle to get into. I want to learn more before dropping cash on a camera, so till then, i'll focus on the editing side.

>Be yourself
>Happen to be in front of a fantastic scenery or a significant occasion which will be gone within a few seconds.
>Two choices
>A: enjoy what is in front of you, the moment you're in
>B: bring your camera up take the picture

What do you do? do both at the same time? can you? i can't do it both really. maybe because my head is not sharp and hands are slow.

There is no option C: take the picture and enjoy it in your man cave. the taste is not the same.

This is a question about what one can do in a decisive moment to live best life.

What are your favorite M43 lenses anons?
Don't harass me for not shooting FF thank you and have a nice day.

I personally shoot with:
Lumix 20mm f1.7
Helios 44-M4 f2.

I found a fujifilm finefix t400 just laying around.
I put it to charge and it worked flawlessly.

Thats until i ttok it out of charging just to discover that the battery doesnt even charge. It just works on the charger.

Can anyone, please, provide me a trusted website i can grab a battery from?

Thanks!

Can someone explain to me how to make a photo with effects like this? I don’t know what to do but I love pics that look like this

I've using the the same lab for the past 4 rolls and for some reason, the skins of the people that I shot came out looking so "reddish". While I understand that we're brown but we don't look this red irl.

top left - Kodak Ultramax 400
bottom left - Fuji 200
top right - Fuji Color 200 (different lab)
bottom right - Vision3 250D
all of 3 use Noritsu HS-1800


so the question is, what's the "problem here?
is it because of the film stocks?
is it the machine?
is it the present the machine use? (idk how the process actually works)
is it the chemical?
and what should I do from now on? change the lab and the machine? or should I ask them to scan the negative back to me as well so I can add the colors myself (I have no idea how lightroom works but I assume I can download presets for each filmstocks to add the colors right?)
THOUGHT?????????

>supposedly a professional
>entire channel is focused on the video aspect of cameras and internet video production

Are there any actual experts left on the internet? They seem to be all retards

I saw the World Press Photography exhibition and there was some truly amazing shots 99% of it was Palestine, immigration, heckin black crime and third world upheaval
The single white photograph was demonising a "far right" German group for daring to say mass immigration isn't good
The Palestine shit was obnoxious and of course zero photos of Israeli victims

Is it possible to work with fashion/studio portraits while being a straight male?

Are model photographers that creepy in real life?

What are some recommended books to gain knowledge about photography? I'm thinking of buying this one, but the old publishing date makes me a bit wary.

Does anyone have this in their archive? Nikon's move to give its customers the dry shove and forcibly remove all installs of previous software from the entire internet (even archive.org) left us all relying on whatever we had already downloaded, but I just went to copy it off my horrendous spinny drive, watched it hang, and in a moment of ass-brain superposition, connected my backup to pull it from, which then immediately hung too. You know the rest, refused to unmount for 6 hrs, hard shut down, came back up & all drives lost their TOC's & recovery is fragment soup. Oh Apple, how I love to hate you sometimes.

If anyone has Capture NXD 1.6.4 to upload somewhere, you have a rare artifact that everyone with a rare 17" MBP needs to make use of our sexy classic computors, and I will offer all the gross sloppy disgusting oral sex you can bear to stomach, or very a sincere thank you, your choice.

I've figured out an extremely wonky pipeline of taking a digital photo, exporting it as a linear tiff to a python program that emulates a developed negative of Kodak 250D, and then using Negative Lab Pro to invert it.

It works perfectly but it takes forever, so I want to shoot a color test chart, do the whole process and then build a LUT or profile from the color chart that skips all of the intermediate steps so it can be done in one click in lightroom or whatever program. How can this be done?
