C'mon /p/haggots recommend me some good shit to watch

Shooting Robert King

Synopsis: Young naive photographer goes to the worlds most horrific war zones to try and win the pulitzer prize - does a lot of cocaine and fucks a lot of prostitutes while getting shot at every day. Gets home and wonders why he now has PTSD.

Exciting, sad, and funny at times - like when hes asking a British photographer what colour his aura is while they are being shot at.

this shit right here is comfy kino:

Holy shit two beautiful jewish princesses. post moar from the blonde one!! pretty please

no it's a gift you monster. if you want an A7ii save up.

EM1 Mk 2 is a perfectly adequate camera. If you can't produce good photos with this camera, the Sony will not help you at all.
I wouldn't bother. The Olympus has more soul and more "pulling power" of getting you out and shooting.

my dad has a $5k sound system in his house that he has no idea how to operate while i have a >$1000 system in my own house that sounds way better than his because i know how to calibrate it.

some people have more money than sense.

>>3138534
<$1000 i mean

>>3138531

it's exactly like >>3138534 said. some people have way more money than sense. Years ago I was the groomsman in a good friend's wedding, but was unemployed at the time. I had recently gotten into photography so I decided I would do some photos of the rehearsal/reception and give them to the couple as a wedding gift.

This was 8 years ago, and all I had was a Canon Xsi, 18-55 kit lens and a borrowed 85mm 1.8...didn't even have a speedlite.

Wedding day approaches, and the bride's stepfather shows up with a Canon 6D, Canon 5D Mark II, gear bag full of 5-6 L lenses, speedlites with stands, the whole she-bang.

Instantly feel out of my league, and he makes constant jokes all day about how "One day you'll be able to afford the real stuff." I ignore him and do my thing, shooting all day. Edit the photos while they were on honeymoon and have them sent to them when they return. They thank me and don't really say much after that about them.

They move to the DMV area because groom is in military. Fast forward to a month ago, my wife and I visit them while we were on vacation in DC and when we get to their house, it's covered in photos that I took. I ask the bride where her stepdad's photos were, and she showed me a small 8x5 of the whole wedding party. She said she has the rest in a box somewhere.

Long story short, anon...most motherfuckers by shit because they think the more expensive camera makes them have better photography, not understanding that lighting, composition, and experience with exposure mean more.

used sony nex6/5r

bridge cameras are garbage
a kit lens is fine, it's a typical 18-55 zoom

>family gatherings
>unwieldy to bring my DSLR

As opposed to baby strollers, diapers, extra clothes, packed lunches and all that kind of stuff?
Yeah, your plastic entry level DSLR with kit zooms will really slow you down when taking a walk with your nieces and grandparents....

First time I've heard of this guy, and looking at his stuff, it's fucking gross. I've always wondered, what's the point of images like this? They have a short lifespan because they're going to look dated as fuck in two years, you can't make prints with them because they only work as IG images, and they can't really be used as actual modeling shots either.

I've only bought a lens. But some things to look out for:

1. make sure the camera turns on

2. make sure all dials and buttons work

3. make sure it can take a photo

4. If it can take a photo, make sure the photos aren't fucked up in anyway

I'm sure it's probably a good deal, because a thief or something wouldn't be posting a 10 year old camera for $130.

I just recently bought a camera off Kijiji. When I went met up the person I took a few photos with the camera and checked both the lenses for smooth motion, working motors and condition. I didn't notice until I got home how that the buttons were essentially jammed although they still worked. I also didn't notice until I got home that were what I thought were about 3 dead pixels on all the photos.

I was a bit worried at that point but using the "Manual Cleaning" Sensor cleaning trick actually got rid of the dead pixels and for the buttons I held the camera back facing down and wiped each with isopropyl alcohol which got rid of all the gunk and returned them to their intended clicky state!

So it's hard to remember to check everything but some things aren't necessarily deal-breakers. Especially if you know how to fix a problem but bring it up to them to possibly reduce the price for yourself.

CL is a great place to get a good deal but absolutely shit to try to sell anything and people will try to lowball the fuck out of you. I had my 70-200 f4L IS up for 6 months at 500 bucks and people were offering me 200 and 250 for it. I sold it on ebay in a week for 525.

That being said almost 90% of my entire loadout was bought on Craigslist all across the country, with the exception of my Df, 50 1.4, F100 and 75-300.

Some shit to watch for.

Everything this guy said >>3138168 and the following

Check lenses for fungus, even a small amount can be a deal breaker if it sits in your bag long enough, on the flipside if you're brave and can kill it by sitting it in the sunlight for a bit, you can legitimately lowball someone over lens fungus and get an awesome deal especially if it doesn't affect image quality.

Check for fungus in the finder too, not really a problem on anything made in the last 20 years but if a lens had fungus and sat in a bag with a body that fungus can spread to other lenses if left long enough.

If the serial number has been defaced, it's stolen.

Check lenses for infinity focus too. Check AF lenses for focus accuracy, obviously f1.4 and below lenses may miss by a hair that's normal in some cases and newer cams can finetune focus in body.

Check filter threads on lenses for drop damage. Check the outside of the lens for it too.

A big one for older lenses, check the aperture for snappiness. Older lenses that have sat for long periods of time can get oil on the blades and won't close the aperture fast enough during the time of exposure and your image will be overexposed. Oil on aperture blades is only a dealbreaker on TTL lenses, anything super old school like Leica or Soviet LTM rangefinders usually have oil on the blades anyway because they are manual diaphragms and stay closed through the entire exposure mechanism.

post your ig / photoblog / portfolio so we can judge how fucked you are.

I personally like instagram. It seems to be one of the few places where other people will actually see your stuff if they don't follow you already.

There's another website I had been using in past, but stopped. It's called Pashadelic, it's devoted to landscape photography, merging social media, with geo tagged photos, and sun/moon tracking at any spot on earth. It was fucking awesome, but it's still in beta phase, and a lot of asians use it, and mostly in Japan and US. It's also gotten worse as they've changed it, so I don't use it anymore.

You might want to try closed groups on facebook as well for good inspiration and feedback. I joined one on fb, and it's got maybe 100 people that are all posting good material, feedback etc.
