How can I take good pictures of cars at night?
I see a lot of pictures of cars taken at night and they look incredible, but mine always come out grainy or blurry as shit.
Is it because there's not enough lighting?

Yes, their photo has been probably taken in a large city like Tokyo, because of the pollution in the air it has more electric particles = more light in your photos

I know this is a joke, but:
1. This is in Victoria, Australia. I also live in Victoria, Australia.
2. Tokyo doesn't have pollution in the air. You're confusing Japan with China.

full frame sensor digital camera + very low aperture lens like a 1.4 shot wide open with a good LED white light street lamp or brought their own lights

I'm planning a basic course on photography and want to hear some easily forgotten theory, tips and tricks for beginners. In other words, what should beginners know that is often not taught to them for whatever reason?

The best tip a beginner can take is to invest in a Sony a6000 and the e mount platform.

How automatic metering and white balance actually work. Learning to anticipate how to use exposure compensation in different situations.

Starting a new thread because I believe this goes a bit beyond what I could get out of the film thread.
I currently use a Canoscan 9000f II and seem to get varied results out of it. Sometimes I get really sharp scans and other times I get images that are very unsharp, almost out of focus. I scan in tiff format and don't apply any presets or settings that the scanner offers, with some sharpness added inside of LR I get some decent results most of the time.
Now my question really is that am I developing wrong or am I scanning wrong, I don't know where the fault is but I know I'm doing something wrong to consistently get shitty results. Maybe I don't let my film dry long enough so it doesn't sit flat on the scanner? I only dry it for around 40 minutes.
Any tips would be great, also feel free to discuss other scanning related stuff in this thread.

Dry the film until it is dry. After that, Let it sit (in a sleeve of course) under some heavy books for a day or two and it should be flat. Another tip is to put the film directly on the glas,instead of the film holder (just place the holder on top of the film) as you can get slightly sharper pictures that way.
Also posting a few examples might help

try extending the time to 1-2 hours

You mean poorly?
With a wide lens and a single on-camera strobe.

Direct flash and unflatteringly wide to portraits lens.

>>3038993
why would you want to make pictures like that one?
Other than a model, you just need a kit lens and pop up flash

Hi, I'm a student taking a photography course. One of the course report tasks is to find a artist to refer to. I want to base my project on glitch art. Are there any glitch art photographers with a decent following and consistent use of the genre.
(If possible provide example of work)

P.S. That pic was edited in a rush. I would add in more definition of the vertical "glitch" lines and probably add some horizontal glitch aspects as well.

for digishit:
just convert a snapshit to text, edit a view lines, convert back
for film:
make actual pretty double exposures, and frame overlaps
kill yourself

>CANON or NIKON
Honest question, seems like Nikon produces better bodies (sorry Canon friendos) but also looks like they are going to commit sepuku soon for their shamefur financial results.
Canon going strong as always, and has a way better flash system.
How the fuck do I choose? I am coming from a meme mirrorless system and will be jumping right into their higher end /pro/ gear.

canon have been churning out the same shit since their original eos, and they started out to rip off leica, and then went knocking nikon off with the F-1
nikon is good but digital is shit anyways
just get a film camera :^)

What's wrong with Sony? Nothing says pro like a single card slot and 35 MB/s write speeds right?

Why do people shit on lo-fi so much. I get that it's hipstery and pretentious, but honestly so is photography. The only difference is one shoots for organic realism, and one shoots for nostalgic astetic. I personally shoot for both and think photographers and lomographers are equally cringy. You guys need to get over yourselves.

develop it yourself. you don't need a darkroom if you treat the film with bleach before you process it.
>>
>>3038678
>look mom im posting on 4chan

Just take it to costco and tell them to develop it and scan it to a cd. There's nothing special to tell them unless your pushing/pulling the film.
Dont try and develop it yourself, that guy's a retard.

How do they manage to shoot in such low light with so little noise? They can't use any less than 1/80 shutter and any more than f/5 aperture.

I'll bet you anything that it was tons of light in there and that it was super bright in there. They just fool fags like you that don't know anything with a few seconds of editing.

I have a nikon d3300, which I used to use for photo but I now do more video work.
I saw the d5500 and it runs 1080p60 as opposed to the 1080p30 on the d3300.
I know that Canon is better for video but I have a lot of lenses for Nikon and I don't want them to go to waste, plus I don't have the money for a bunch of new lenses.
So /p/, whats the verdict on shooting video with Nikon?

"Canon is better for video" is a meme. The 5D Mark II was fantastic, which is why most people think canon = video, when the truth is Canon DSLRs aren't really too different performance wise from Nikon in general. I'd even argue that Nikons are slightly better in the moire/aliasing department.
Of course there is Magic Lantern but that's something I don't think people should be messing around with on entry level DSLRs anyway, other than maybe for peaking, and zebras.

There is it's called program.

Because you want to have control of the DOF or motion, anything other than that is just lame ass auto mode.
P mode(aka professional mode) is only usefull in nikon cameras because you can control both DOF and motion turning the dial.
>>
>>3038320
there is on Pentax cameras, called Sv (Sensitivity value)
Also there is Shutter speed AND aperture priority, called TaV (TimeAperture value)
Also, not to mention superb HyperProgram (lets you override shutter or aperture at any time, and easy way to reset)

Feels good having the best focus in the game and lenses that are tack sharp wide open. Real shame that autists from /fa/ try to steer users from such a great platform with memes like lmao PS3 has no lenses.
Protip: Don't take photography advice from people that dress like ninjas and take pictures of dumpsters and graffiti with a 300k shutter count used 5d mark 2 and $100 50mm 1.8.
