What kinds of features would you want to be standard in cameras in the future?
>Camera comes with built in bluetooth+wifi+radio for flashes
>Digital viewfinder's simulated exposure can predict how a picture will look based on where the flashes are positioned in the room relative to the subject
>Geotagging
>Option to automatically encrypt photos once they are taken
How about just start small and make full auto not shit

i think ur the virgin here, my friend.
When I was thirteen. Cameras are tools meant to be used until they are broken.
What are you, poor?
>>3066000
Not even poor, but I don't feel any connection with a device or tool that hasnt been 100% raped by me, especially with something that eventually needs cleaning
My typical phases are something like: >buy new monitor/gadget/etc, treat it as if it's made of diamonds and be super careful with it
>Get bored and/or be forced to clean it >suddenly lose all fascination and treat it like anything else I own while accepting existential crisis

try the picture in black and white and see how it works
also, what's the point of the crops on the top and bottom? looks like it's a movie frame, not a photo
also, i wish you didn't cut off the left most branch, looks like you could've taken a step back and had the whole branch in view
it's a nice picture, if a bit claustrophobic

CMOS vs CCD:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lHlzRw_Oek
protip: CCD wins again.
Can you defend CMOS and rolling shutter (both found in all your flavor of the month digitoys) with a straight face now, /p/?
>>3064698
You should be asking /vid/ not /p/ since everyone uses mechanical shitters here.
>>3064698
This thread is at least 5 years too late, at this point CCD is a dead technology, much like CRT displays; it has some niceties that it still does good at, but on the whole it's not really worth it.
CMOS can be had in global shutter variants, and while that reduces dynamic range, CCD didn't have more than 12 stops or so anyway, so you're ultimately getting all the benefits of CMOS like significantly lower power draw and higher frame rates.
delusional ccd-fags are worse than filmidiots. film still has some use, ccd really has none.

I want to start shooting portraits on film.. I have never shot film OR medium format.
I think I would like to get a hasselblad setup for doing it, what would the best Hasselblad combo (body + lens) for shooting portraits with strobes? (I have an Elinchrom setup).
I mentioned Hasselblad but I am open to recommendations.
Thanks.
>>3062935
Anyone who uses this camera deserves to be punched in the face
Hasselblad is good but it is also very temperamental. never force anything with a blad, it it doesn't move, shift , come off easily you will break it because you are doing something wrong. they were far from the best 120 camera but they were a standard, so they are relatively cheap now.
for the body, look for a 500c/m, 501, or 503. stay away from the ELMs and shit, also the 500c (the 500c didn't have interchangeable focus screens but the 500c/m did)
Lenses the standard 80 is great and a 150 is nice for portraits. The C lenses can no longer be repaired (unless you can find someone to make the springs / cams) if they are not keeping proper time, and CF lenses still have new parts available from Hasselblad.
Elenchrome strobes are great just remember you need more light for the same DOF you did with 135. So your f2.8 80mm is kinda like a f1.4 50mm on 135.
the other thing to consider with 120 cameras is that if you are printing 2x3, or 4x3 you are cropping heavily on the square frame. or often printing 7.5x7.5 on an 8x10 sheet of paper. so if you prefer to do most of your composition in camera, go with a 645 or 67, you waste less film, but if you are a person who doesn't mind cropping or just like squares, 6x6 is great

Just buy a 645 or 67
Is landscape photography basic bitch-tier in the photography world?
I am new to this stuff, but I am a /out/ enthusiast. I do not find man-made things to be beautiful or aesthetically pleasing, so I like to photograph obscure landscapes or off-the-trail scenes.
As I lurk more on the board, I get the impression that landscape photography is looked down on. Why is this?

it isn't something that everyone gets, much like everyone doesn't understand the appeal of the /out/ . Don't worry about it.
At the superficial level, it doesn't take much effort to set up a tripod and take a f/16 wide-angle shot of a "pretty view" of things which are just out there and don't tend to move a lot. This results in a staggering amount of banal, calendar-tier pictures of nothing. Layers upon layers of expensive square filters and technical perfection don't save them from their inherent vacuity.
A great part of what passes for landscape photography today is a straight continuation of the tradition of kitschy paintings of beautiful trees and rivers mass-produced for the bourgeois households in the 19th century. These were also generally frowned upon by those who believed that art should convey something else than the most pedestrian notion of comfortable prettiness.
It is by all means possible to produce good and interesting landscape photographs. The challenge lies in being able to give them some personal touch, to present the nature in a non-obvious manner, express a mood, tell a story. But many people aren't up to it and they give the whole genre something of a bad reputation.
>>3061723
>This results in a staggering amount of banal, calendar-tier pictures of nothing.
Although, more often than not, this is exactly what sells. Being a successful businessman and artist are two largely different things, and past a certain point you simply don't receive a return on investment for pouring more time and energy into elevevating your image past being a straight (albeit nicely processed and printed) photo.
So as a guy, I need to take 6 self portraitures in order to make myself look as attractive to women as possible The first and the last of these pics have to be the best.
What are some tips you have for taking self portraitures or making yourself the subject?

Dress like you are filthy rich. Women are only attracted to money, and power.
I dont view self portraits as something thats solely meant to attract the opposite sex. But if thats your think then fine.
Regardless in selfies or straight on/face forward pictures, you should always work your angles and good side, tilt your face, get a jawline shadow, do anything to accentuate the features you think are attractive.

I figured at least one in a suit. I am thinking one playing baseball, or at least looking like I am playing baseball. I also need to befriend a manlet to make my 5'9" look as tall as possible. As of right now pics with my one friend who is an asian girl and is 5'8" I don't think are helping.

Recently my old DSLR broke after years of amateur joy and I've decided to upgrade to mirrorless. I was instantly recommended a Sony a6000, but two shops have independently recommended an Olympus OMD EM10 mark II.
Tried it out, loved it, but noticed the F-Pen. Exactly the same, but up to 20MP and retro styling (not that it makes a difference but it's cool to have, I guess).
Anyone has experience with them? Is this a good one for a semi-amateur?
What other mirrorless cameras would you recommend?

retardely high price for not so great specs, you're better off with any of these other cameras you mentioned
>>3066051
The Pen-F IS a good camera though. Let's not neglect that fact. But I agree it's way over-priced for what you get. The Em-10 mk II is half the price, and it's the same camera, except a slightly higher resolution sensor on the Pen-F. And honestly there's no need to go above 16 megapixels on a m4/3 size sensor.
Also, the Pen-F has no grip. I know it's supposed to mimic a range-finder, but it's still a step back in ergonomics and handling large lenses safely.
Since you like the retro styling, why not look into Fuji cameras? They make fantastic cameras and lenses. The only real knock against them is you can't directly process RAW files in Photoshop, but you can use other software for the conversion.
>>3066056
I'm not really too fussed on the styling. I like nice looking tech, but a bad camera that looks good is still a bad camera.
If that's the case, I'll just go for the OMD EM10 mark II. I was looking at the Sony a7. It's such a cool camera but I don't know if my skill level can justify something that high tech just yet.
hey ! i got a Leica from flea market recently and checked the serial number from a serial number list. (https://www.cameraquest.com/ltmnum.htm ) it seems like it's a leica iii from 1939. btw serial number is 340303. but i couldnt find any detailed information. it's a really collector item or not ? you have any thoughts about this body ? do i feel special ? i'm a lucky guy ?
Leica IIIs are worth nothing compared to the later Ms. Like $250 give or take.
You could also have bought a Soviet knockoff; if it has any waffenamts or swastikas, it's probably a Soviet knockoff and in that case is worth about $30.
They are very fun to shoot, I bought one to use while my M was in for a CLA and now shoot the III more than the M.
Like all leicas a few things will factor in on the price, over all condition, mechanical condition, black paint vs chrome, has it been upgraded (leica offered upgraids where you could turn a IIIa to a IIIf), pre war / wartime / post war, history (did someone special own it), and vulcanite texture, to name a few factors.
$250 plus or minus $100 is average for a IIIf, an old III is probably on the south side of $250 but without knowing more it is hard to say. some are worth a lot more and some a lot less.
>>3065805
I've had that serial number before, it's a fake. Pretty cool but not worth much at all. The gold fake ones covered in nazi insignia are fucking dope though.
Hello /p/ I recently bought a D3300 because I'm new to the world of DSLR photography and really wanted something better than my phone's camera. I've had it for about 2 weeks now, bought a 50mm f/1.8 lens. I like the camera a lot but reading into things more tells me I want a full frame camera and I'm considering the D750 due to price. I'm wondering if the pictures I could take with the D750 will make me happy I upgraded?

Why do you want to upgrade to full?
It isn't going to improve your shots drastically, it will just use more of the lens. 2 weeks is a really short time to jump to a new camera
As a guy that bought a Nikon and a 50mm too I'd say switch to canon if you feel you're gonna be unhappy with your shots. Nikons d3xxx line is fucking attrocious

I appreciate the input. I have always loved taking pictures and I really want more night shots and a fuller frame. What I see in my head isn't what gets translated with the cropping.
