I took this photo in some funky clothes shop in Paris and I thought it was really cool but I want to make the Japanese writing stand out a bit more from the background.
Can anyone make the background more unfocused and the white Japanese text more focused and more vibrant (sorry if I used the wrong word, I'm pretty new)

>requesting
>not resizing
literally tells you on the front page not to do this
>>3114889
>white Japanese text
get your monitor calibrated, that's nowhere near white
Thoughts you faggots?
>implying anyone on /p/ has any taste
4 real, most on here have as shit taste as skill.
Also, most people will never read the point where they think it's perfect, just the one where it's good enough for others to be impressed, but it's still your people skills that will give you commercial success, for whomever is sorry enough to want that

Delusion is the artist's greatest weapon
Written by a jew that hasn't ever worked a day in his life.
Really makes you think
How is a photo similar to this one achieved. By that I mean the lighting being so smooth and uniform, especially in a house. No blown out highlights. Is it a composite, made by merging together different exposures focusing on the foreground, then hallway, etc? Guessing it shot around 18mm? Would a tilt-shift come into play in order to get nicer verticals? Are those used in interior photography?

Off camera lighting is definitely used.
>>3114732
This. Basically whole lots of soft lighting to just brighten the whole place up. You can see near the bottom of the columns where it gets darker because of the lack of lighting
They either used off camera lighting
Or took advantage of some large windows, and placed parchman or some paper over them to diffuse the light a bit
Are pentax K1000's worth the 80 Canuck bucks? Thinking of getting one as my first film camera. The light sensor is in "great condition" if that makes a difference.

How hard would it be to get rid of them and how noticeable are they?
>saw this at thrift store and bought it out of impulse
what the hell is it and was it worth $7, seems to have everything working
It's a $7 hunk of plastic that's had its film discontinued over a decade ago.

I just stick the broken lens in a microwave for 5 days and it welds itself back together.

This, and post results.
Does anyone feel like people overrate Fuji's classic SLR control layout?
>constantly use command dial anyways to tweak things because using on full stops is retarded
>auto ISO 1600/3200/6400, manually adjusting with FN button for the rare occasion is no big deal
It was cool at first, but I realized it was nowhere near the make-or-break that prevented people from using other systems

A labeled shutterspeed dial is kinda nice, but not make or break, really. I tend to shoot aperture mode more often.
The higher level Sony bodies are just as good when it comes to controls.
You'll feel like they're overrated until you use one, and then you'll wonder how you ever made do without.
>>3114198
Also this is doubly true for the x100 series with the beautifully built aperture ring.
Why do digital photos look so shit and lifeless compared to film? Why haven't digital cameras caught up to film yet? What's taking so long.
>>3114102
Wow, that is really some very, very bland background. You know... a shot of black in their trim paint would have changed it just enough to be more interesting.
>>3114102
Because film is objectively better, in all situations, than digital. Anyone who says otherwise is objectively stupid.
>>3114102
are you really this dumb or is this another summer troll thread?
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jul/12/monkey-selfie-macaque-copyright-court-david-slater
> A US appeals court has debated whether or not a monkey can own the copyright to a selfie, while the photographer whose camera captured the famous image watched a livestream of the proceedings from his home in the UK.
> David Slater could not afford the air fare to San Francisco to attend the hearing on Wednesday. Nor can he afford to replace his broken camera equipment, or pay the attorney who has been defending him since the crested black macaque sued him in 2015, and is exploring other ways to earn an income.
>The story of the monkey selfie began in 2011, when Slater traveled to Sulawesi, Indonesia, and spent several days following and photographing a troop of macaques. Slater has long maintained that the selfies were the result of his ingenuity in coaxing the monkeys into pressing the shutter while looking into the lens, after he struggled to get them to keep their eyes open for a wide-angle close-up.
>“It wasn’t serendipitous monkey behavior,” he said. “It required a lot of knowledge on my behalf, a lot of perseverance, sweat and anguish, and all that stuff.”
>The photographs became popular, and Slater said that he earned a few thousand pounds – enough to cover the cost of the trip to Indonesia. But the images became the subject of a complicated legal dispute in 2014, when Slater asked the blog Techdirt and Wikipedia to stop using them without permission.
>The websites refused, with Wikipedia claiming that the photograph was uncopyrightable because the monkey was the actual creator of the image. The US Copyright Office subsequently ruled that animals cannot own copyrights.
>“Every photographer dreams of a photograph like this,” Slater said of the image of a primate grinning toothily into the lens. “If everybody gave me a pound for every time they used [the photograph], I’d probably have £40m in my pocket. The proceeds from these photographs should have me comfortable now, and I’m not.”

>In 2015, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) filed a suit against Slater on behalf of the macaque, which it identified as a six-year-old male named Naruto, claiming that the animal was the rightful owner of the copyright. A judge ruled against Peta in 2016, saying that animals were not covered by the Copyright Act. Peta appealed to the ninth circuit court of appeals, which heard oral arguments on Wednesday.
>Among the points of contention were whether Peta has a close enough relationship to Naruto to represent it in court, the value of providing written notice of a copyright claim to a community of macaques, and whether Naruto is actually harmed by not being recognized as a copyright-holder.
>“There is no way to acquire or hold money. There is no loss as to reputation. There is not even any allegation that the copyright could have somehow benefited Naruto,” said Judge N Randy Smith. “What financial benefits apply to him? There’s nothing.”
>At one point, Judge Carlos Bea considered the question of how copyright passes to an author’s heirs.
>“In the world of Naruto, is there legitimacy and illegitimacy?” Bea asked. “Are Naruto’s offspring ‘children’, as defined by the statute?”
>For Slater, it was a painfully ironic line of questioning in light of his concerns for his own seven-year-old daughter and his continuing belief that the copyright is his. “I can’t afford to own a car. There’s no camera equipment for her to inherit if I die tomorrow,” he said. “She should inherit this [copyright], but it’s worthless.”
>The lawyer for Slater’s publisher, which is also a defendant, also raised the question of whether Peta has even identified the right monkey – something that Slater disputes.
I've been trying to figure out Alex strohls editing style for a while now but can't seem to get it down right.
Any ideas? How does he get the skies so like and pastel yet his foregrounds sharp bright?
>>3113768
Light*
A medium format camera, with a fast, sharp lens
>>3113770
He shoots full frame digital though.
How to get this "granular" or analogic effect? According to Flickr, the guy who made pic related used a Fujifilm SLP1000SE and Adobe Lightroom.

Fujifilm SLP1000SE is a Fuji minilab scanner
so these were shot on film. It's not an effect, it's just what film looks like
so shoot film or use VSCO if you can't hack shooting film for real
I am being asked to help some folks out with photography: head shots and the like.
What does /p/ recommend on a tight budget, two sets of two options:
Studio flash units or shoe-mount flash units
--and--
Should I set up to go to them, or have them come to me?
Speedlites will work fine.
https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Speedlite-Monolight-Location-Photography/dp/B0043GT9Y0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1499893137&sr=8-4&keywords=photography+strobe
I bought this guy and it hasn't failed me since.
>>3112828
I'm at least keeping an eye on guide numbers. I can get either for about the same price (going cheap).
So one for speedlights.
>>3112832
And one for studio flash.
Is that unit higher output than a speedlight?
Does it impede mobility?
And do either of you prefer to bring your clients to you, or to go to your clients?
Which one is better?
A6000
>>3112285
Canon, for the pure virtue of the better supported system.
>>3112290
What do you mean by that?
Tfw when painters are better at landscape photography than photographers are..
>>3110264
>Tfw painters can manipulate all aspects of a scene to emphasize subject and compositional elements
Apples and tangerines faggot
>>3110264
But look at how soft the focus is
>M43? You might as well use a cellphone camera!
Where does sentiment come from, and does it actually hold any weight?
>>3110256
Depends on the image sensors dummy
no m43 crushes any and all cellphone cameras
even the cm1 only has a 1" sensor
>>3110256
No
m43 is the best format, nice compact size, great lenses
and better IQ, and dof than a FF camera with slightly worse, but usually on par low light performance
it can even throw blows at MF cameras
