So, what did you all learned from yesterdays merging?
I learned that this board is literally dead.
Anyone else planning on not ever returning to this sad wasteland?
>>3049618
this board isn't dead, it's just devoid of talent
>>3049618
I learned that wearing a dress is okay in private
All it proved was that the more vapid the subject, the easier it is to post about it.
They really knew their watches though...
Do you have a recognisable attribute or signature in your photos to make it recognisably yours?
How bad an idea is it for my to leave my camera on +1 step exposure for a more distinctive look?

This
Forcing a style just because you want to have a style is kinda backwards imo
If you do have a style that's specific and recognizable it will eventually show throughout your body of work. The whole point of it is to be natural
Why would you force it in the first place? If you want so bad to be recognized just throw a watermark on it
>>3049032
repetition will take you there.
Just bought a Nikon D7200 - Yay - it comes with an 18 - 105mm lense which will be good to start with because I am a complete beginner - sorry poorfags - Will buy either a 35, or a 50 lense and a wide angle after.
>>3048106
Buy the 35 for normal everyday walkabout photography and a Samyang 16/2 for the UWA stuff.
The 18-105 is a junk like any other superzoom anyways.
why is it junk? it has VR... it will be good for a beginner like you OP to start
>>3048106
>complete beginner
>already wants to buy primes
Consumerism is the best religion
Bought a cheap Hoya R72 filter second hand.
I have no experience processing IR whatsoever but I followed exactly what most tutorials tell you to do and I get some (what I think are) strange results.
In upper pic related you see the blues look completely unaffected by the IR filter.
In the lower pic (in which I slightly increased saturation to make it more obvious) you can see that the fence has the same tint as the foliage, along with some of the rooftops, windows, etc. In all IR pictures I could find there's a clear difference between buildings and foliage.
I have some reasons to suspect the filter might be a counterfeit Hoya. The line of the 'H' doesn't cross the 'O' and the label with the serial number on the back of the box doesn't have a code for the type of filter, which some say indicates a fake.
The glass looks very dark as it should, when I look through it at something brightly lit I can faintly see it.
So: am I bad at processing, are my expectations of a 720nm IR filter wrong or is something actually wrong with the filter?
that image looks dope as fuck. why are you complaining you fag?
>>3047654
don't post images from your window with recognisable elementa anon, never a good idea on 4chan.
I want to get into photgraphy, what would you guys say is the best starter camera for under $1000?
Sony a6000 and the Sony 50mm f1.8
It'll run you around 600 and you can spend the savings on new lenses. The 28mm f2 is nice.
>>3046761
If you're just getting into photography, I'd recommend shooting film. You can find many great camera+lens kits for under $100, and your pictures will always look better than anything taken digitally. In order to shoot digital 35mm, you need to spend thousands of dollars. And, even then, the sensor cannot ever quite capture the life that film injects into pictures. Invest the rest of the money into a development kit, scanner, and film and you'll be golden. Once you've made the investment, you'll have your photos in a physical format that will last a lifetime.
Yashica Electro 35 GSN
Is it feasible to buy one? They go from 5-10 bucks.
Would it be better to buy a cheap soviet camera instead?
I just love the colors you get, plus you can work yourself around it and replace the film & the batteries.

When I take photos of people, their pupils are always red like this. Am I not doing something right in camera, or is there software to fix this issue.
>red eye reduction?
You clearly know what to Google. Now delete this thread.

This is so me
So tell us anon, what got you into photography?
How much money have you made out of your hobbie?
>>3050408
Someone showed me some shitty long exposures on a Canon 40D
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
I lied and said I knew how to use a DSLR in a job interview
All of a sudden I had to learn... they got me a 6d
Couple thousand... nothing crazy
>>3050408
My older sister bought a fancy new DSLR and I thought that shit looks pretty cool, she gave me her old Lumix waterproof P&S and I was hooked.
Only money I've made is from selling gear for profit, maybe around $800 all up over a long period. It would be cool in future to sell some prints, but I'm really not worried about making money from something I do for fun
>get battery grip for mirrorless camera
>brandfags no longer have a point about poor battery life
Really glad I didn't fall for the meme of some autistic fags that don't even take pictures.

>Have two batteries now
>Still can't meet the life of a single battery in a DSLR
Real talk though, the whole "muh battery life" stuff only applies to people who do video, or who are doing some in depth coverage shit where they're not going to be able to charge their batteries nightly.
you dont even need a battery grip
if you have one other battery in your pocket the battery life point is moot
Is bokeh a meme?
Yes. Gook photographers meme with it like dumb frogposters. Ever seen an Asian actually taking nice photos with their expensive gear? Nope. They're just mindless brandfags.
>>3049901
Bokeh isn't but shallow depth of field is.
>>3049901
Why? It's just a way to make the subject stand out. But it's also highly overused by newbies.
How are Photographers/Artist making real money nowadays?
are there any "rockstars" of photography?
