>>3144887

Yes, there is a long exposure at a macro level

>>3144650
What in the fuck is that

Looks like an extra freaky bell pepper in a bowl.

Sony 70-300 G

>>3144080
The 70-300 is a soft piece of shit on FF already it will be even softer on crop.
The 50-300 will be perfect for that toy camera anyways.
But do what you want, seeing you already fell for the D7500 odds are you will continue to make the same bad decisions in the future.

>>3144091
You seem pretty jaded, senpai. You obviously have no idea about the superiority of the AF-P models nor the fact that the D7500 is the best DSLR in its price class.

Check out Impossible Project

That camera utilizes SX-70 film which can be purchased only from the Impossible Project. Expect to shell $25 for a cartridge of 8 photographs. If you want to get into square-format film I advice you purchase the new Lomography Square Instant Camera. In the long run it is a cheaper ($15 dollars for 10 photographs) option and will provide less quality issues in the photograph development.

>>3144112
Thanks mate. If they are really that expensive i might just leave it on my shelf for decoration and check out that instant camera you mentioned.

>Is instagram the be all end all social media site for photographers?

As of right now, Yes. However, IG has it in their financial interest to make it more and more difficult for the users to get their content out to a wide audience. They want it to be more difficult, so you consider spending money on advertising with them. So it's great for right now, but something can pop up in the future to replace it, and it will probably look very similar.

>Are flickr, facebook pages, tumblr etc antiquated relics of the past or do they still have a place?

I haven't uploaded to flickr in 5 years, I haven't uploaded to FB in like 2 years. I dumped facebook because they got too greedy, and made it impossible to run a page without spending money on advertisement. IG is going the exact same way right now though.

>How do you even use instagram?
I use it to post my best photos, with the end goal of getting my photos shared by a larger page or getting to be one of the top posts in a hashtag

>If you travel somewhere and took 300+ photos, do you mass upload a shit ton of photos (after doing you basic culling routine of course). Or do you use instagram more like a pseudo portfolio and only uploading a handful of your very best work?

DO NOT dump all of your shit. Why would you show terrible snapshits? Only show your best work at any given time. posting 5 good photos is better than posting 295 shitty photos and only 5 good ones, nobody will look through all your photos. And don't dump them all at once. Post once a day at most if you have the material to do that. I personally post once per week

Any suggestions on good bots to use to gain more followers?

pretty cool shot, but if you're just gonna post one picture you should use the recent photo thread or some other thread related to the subject of the picture

THIS.

Rotolight or stay home. Don't even wince at the price. It can be had from Jew&H or Amazon for less than 300USD

And if by some circumstance money's an issue get a cheapo clip on light.

2-3 wireless speedlights, compact umbrellas, and compact stands

>The best photographers in the world don't even need to take a single picture, but only envision it with their knowledge and gear.
... Woah.

>>3143214
Think about it though. Ansel Adams with a Lego camera, just some shit retard. Ansel Adams with a Sony A7Rii, a god among men. Doesn't matter how many pictures he takes with either. With the Sony, he is king.

>>3143204
Enjoy your basement

bump

This doesn't look like a case of something hitting the print as it's ejected. This looks more like bad film. I shot a bunch of thoroughly expired Polaroid film a few years back and got these sorts of results where part of the chemicals have just crystalized or something so they don't develop the image.

>>3143222
Should I call impossible project and complain? This is new film

>>3142689
Not trying to be mean, but new shooting really doesn't prepare you for anything, it has zero aesthetic in terms of photographic composition, so I'm hoping you have a lot of experience actually shooting non-news related stuff.

With that being said, just go find a wedding that one of your friends got photos of, and just copy it shot for shot. It's all the fucking same. I will never doing wedding photography, too much stress. I will however do wedding videography, more observant instead of directing people, and there's much more leeway on missed focus.

>>3142692
Well to be frank while it isn't ALWAYS the focus there is or rather can be "art" and aesthetic to a news shoot but I see what you mean. My main point is that I hear people say they worry about getting in people's way at a wedding. As a news man you get used to being in front of people and shooting. I have been lookijg at a lot of wedding shots though so I'll continue to do that, thanks anon, any other advice and I'll take it.

I did my first wedding a while ago and it went fairly well. It was a free job for some friends and they knew I lacked experience but my work photography taught me to know the story in telling and know what shots I need before I even get there.
So I went to the location a couple of weeks early and took plenty of shots of my fiance there to work out exactly how I wanted to do each shot.
Weather and time of day will change some of this but on the day I was able to take charge, put people exactly where I wanted them and get every shot I wanted without having to move around trying to find the right composition while everyone was waiting.
I don't have the shots on my phone but the main thing id say is have a plan, practice it and then be ready to nail it on the day.

Another thing I've noticed from other people's wedding photos is that you should really focus on the bride but it's always nice to have a good set of shots of the boys as well.

>>3142000
Lies you can't even get a t2i for 250

>>3142000
I spent between $150 and $200 on each of my 450Ds (both with kit 18-55mm lens), 6 months ago. You got quite the bargain if you are telling the truth.

>>3142000
If you have 600$ just buy new.

Second hand lenses are great, but body you should check the shutter count.
