I'm in Canada for the next 6 weeks and I got inspired by my friend who's already doing it in Europe - taking photos of people on the street with a Polaroid or other instant camera and selling the photo for $5/10 or something. I'll be traveling to a lot of a touristy areas so I think it's a great way to make some pocket change while traveling.
I'm really clueless on the subject - which cameras should I look for? I was thinking of searching on Craigslist/Kijiji to buy a used camera. Preferably I'd like something easy to shoot as I only have experience taking photos with my smartphone.

Who the fuck is buying instax from some guy on the street?
I mean, I love instax. But I don't understand who would pay $5-$10 cuckbucks for one.

Does anyone know anything about this?
I just found out about it yesterday (They apparently released it last month) and have heard nothing about it here. It seems from a press release that this is high latitude slide film. It is supposed to render everything very warm.
Has anyone used this? Could you post some results if you have? Kind of tempted to pick this up just because the packaging looks nice.

I wouldn't fuck with it. If you want a nice warm slide film you really can't beat Velvia, which you can find great deals on from time to time. Kodak Ultramax 400 is fucking amazing warm print film for dirt cheap too.

Seconding this. Still, can't hurt to try it.

I went blind looking at this. I think you were probably going for a lot of light, but I personally don't have fun even looking at it.

I like it. Hurts my head a bit but it’s a cool pic.

Yeah, the brightest parts are a bit too bright. Otherwise good.

Whats the best go pro type camera if you're looking to record hobby videos? I'm looking for something that can do some macro work due to small crafting detail needing to be focused on.
I don't have a huge budget, I'm looking mostly for something to do 720/1080p video for online uploading. Would be a bonus if it could also be used as a webcam for live streaming type stuff but isn't vital.

repeat but with white.
look for spots, strange color

THANKS!!
Please discuss, how do you think this photo was taken? I realyl wanna try out something similar.
I know its a photo called "status quo" by a finnish photographer..
Im completely in love with it and would like to try out something similar to learn techniques to bring out something so sculptural like this, against a pitch black background.
Also, if anyone have more of these still life sculptural-like, dark slightly melancholic symbolic references /links, books, photographers.. thats greatly appreciated as inspiration. thanks

anyone here print their shit before?
I have a nice photograph of me i wanted to get a poster of, as large as possible. the site is claiming that it will look fine at just 75 PPI which means I can have a pretty big poster, but im not sure I trust that as I heard 300 is the norm so 75 makes me think it'll be blurry as fuck. trying not to waste 30 bucks on a 'test' to see if it'd look good.
anyone print before? particularly at 75 DPI?

75dpi is only ok for billboard size images or maybe a print on canvas

I work at a photo lab. We convert everything to 300 dpi when we print it. You can open it yourself in your preferred editor and set it to 300 dpi to see what you're going to be dealing with. Look at the dimensions it will be after you convert it and go about deciding if you'd want to print it from there

Have a look at your instagram. Which lens have you use for most of your shots?
I bought the 135mm f2 canon for shooting water sports but looking through my instagram, I'm realising its almost become my main lens. More from that than my 50 or 35mm.

My 24-70 is by far my most used. And second to that is my 400mm, cool for unique photos

>>3136866
Which 24-70?

>>3136868
Canon 24-70L ii. I use it on my sony a7r. It's a great lens, however, I wish I didn't fall for the expensive lens meme, there are great lenses for less. It's a really great lens though

Ive bought a Minolta x300 today. First ever camera, I have no idea of what I'm doing. Film came out with a brighter strip on top and bottom. Shot on Ilford HP 5 Plus 400. Ive used Ilfosol 3 Developer, 1+9 dillution at 24 degrees for 5:30. 3 rinses with 22 degrees water. 4 minutes in Ilford Rapid Fixer, 1+4 dillution.

Bump
>>
looks like your agitation is lacking
add developer
tap tank to remove bubbles
agitate full min
agitate for 15 sec every min
24 degrees for the dev is a little warm but no big deal, it's going to be faster so your agitation & time become more critical.
temp for stop, fix, and rinse, is less important.
I usually stop in straight water, an old timer once told me that it is less of a shock to the grain, I don't see much of a difference but it has not negativity affected my negs in any way and why pay for chem if it isn't needed

Found a lens at a thrift store. $20.
Off of an old film SLR
canon 80-200mm 4.5-5.6 II
It was supposed to be a budget telephoto lens back in 2004.
Should I pick it up or avoid?

as far as price goes it's nothing special - not overly expensive, not a steal.
if you feel like you have some use for it sure, get it, just don't expect much out of it.
might be a good investment if you want to see if you'll actually utilize tele in your photos - $20 isn't much so even if you'll just throw it in a drawer in few days nothing really lost.
>>
>>3136661
20$ is pretty much for 'lens' lenses especially when they where zooms and/or budget solutions to begin with. generally your dads fully manual primes are a solid choice and you can get really good glass for comparable prices at thrift stores. personally i wouldnt buy it.

yes if the lighting forces you
yes if you need to protect your front element
no if your cameras looks too intimidating with it on

Not sure if I should have posted this to /lit/, but, my girlfriend's birthday is coming up and I wanted to get her a photo coffee table book type thing. Do you guys have any recommendation for photo books (preferably something recent)?
Cheers

Daido Moriyama: in color and never again
I have a couple of questions about grain:
1. Why does grain even exist on digital cameras? I understand why it occurs in film, but surely it can be avoided with digital cameras?
2. Even if it can't be avoided, does in-camera noise reduction reduce image quality, or is it working with a preexisting understanding of the digital grain pattern that has appeared to reduce it?

grain is inherent with digital cameras as the smallest resolution points can either be on or off, just like with film. nothing can change this. you can try to edit the grain a little like smoothing it out but that will fuck up microtextures obviously so it will reduce the image quality.
>>
>>3136436
So it appears that, by that explanation, the only way to remove grain is by adding megapixels and making the "grain" much smaller(?)
>>
>>3136401
When a signal is amplified, you will get noise.
