>favorite subject

I honestly do not have a favorite at all. Don't know whether that's a good or a bad thing; I just find pretty much everything interesting in an even manner.

aurora and fog, because the exposures often surprise you.
you control the scene, but the random light makes it very thrilling.
also the conditions required are rare so you are very motivated to go out when they occur.

Well I think it's important to specialize or have a niche. Having one can give you a way to differentiate yourself from other photography generalists.

Not implying you HAVE to have one though. You do you. Just most people I meet do have one that they try and perfect like landscapers vs portraiture of people etc. Or surfers who shoot almost exclusively waves. There are different little techniques for each a generalist may not know unless they really dive in one direction, just due to spending more time photography that type of subject.

These instas are so annoying to follow. Nobody wants to see three random white posts in their feed and then 9 random ass pieces of some photo that aren't even that interesting to begin with.

Stop using a gimmick to compensate for not having anything worthwhile to share. In the same space it took you to show three mediocre photos I could've shown 33. Nobody wants to visit your website to see full-res versions when we already have to go to your full profile just to see them cut into pieces.

Abort.

well that was a bit rough, but i get what you mean.

no input on the other platform?

>>2997519
Instagram is utter shit, it punishes you if you have a shit smartphone, (I have a 1st gen Moto G), and it's such a terrible UI. The computer version of the app is equally shit and I stopped using it within a day.

>Tumblr
I used Tumblr but I wanted it as a photoblog for my friends. Ironically one photo got quite popular and a bunch of strangers started to follow me and read my person stuff intended for my friends. Also it doesn't have the friendlies UI when it comes to photos, although it looks quite good.

I finally got Flickr and it's perfect. Not bloggy, but a very nice photo layout that scaled great with screens. The networking features are good and the app is great. They do try to shill their 3rd party services hard though but whatever. It's a great photo delivery platform.

>>2996426
Would you really be able to tell the difference on small prints though?

>>2996423

i get stunning prints in top grade paper from a minilab nearby that has very cheap prices. cant top that.

for zines i go to a printing house, they have ridiculously cheap prices. $1 for a 40 page zine (i do the binding, of course). cant top that either.

how about you get a tiny camera like pentax Q
put a long lense on it and use it as a spot?

i do have a lightmeter but it's only pertinent for flash

>>2995981
This, or just do like Alex and get an old MFT with kit zoom lens, cheap and versatile, you can meter for the subjects and the surroundings.

I use a sekonic 558. Gives accurate decimal readings.

>Is VSCO overrated
In what regard?
>I'm not talking about pricing but presets itself. It's a bad example, I guess, but here's my picture with X1 preset.
That is a bad example.
>Is it even okay to use presets in your opinion?
No.
>Or everything should be done by your hand?
Yes, every processing option should be chosen by you individually for each frame
>You can find better stuff here: vsco.co/explore/vsco/collection/0
No.

Their LR/ACR presets are fine, they do what they need to and the profiles are well done. If you're shooting with the intent of processing it that way, then there's really nothing wrong with using it, just make sure to adjust the sharpening/grain afterwards.

>>2995886
>Is VSCO overrated?

its popular. popular stuff tend to be a bottom of the barrel performance+great marketing deal.

I find they work better as quick palette options, rather than relying on them as full film sims.

Pic related; I chose a vsco preset that gave me the reds and greens that I wanted, then tweaked from there.

You should probably just kill yourself now.

or find a new hobby. your choice.

This isn't even the worst. Look at their video about the replica Apollo suits. The whole video has this blue cast, and things that are meant to be deep blue are purple for some reason.

Right as I posted my reply, there's a new thread. Anyway

I'm gonna buy the Canon EF-S 24mm f2.8 (the pancake)

It has a 52mm filter thread, but the front element is tiny. I was thinking I could get a step up ring, and get tiny filters (to lower the cost).

How small can I go? Are 40mm filters gonna vignet?

Does anyone have the lens, that could try measuring out how small I can go?

>>2995064
The general idea is to buy a filter for your largest lens and then buy step up rings for that, not the other way round. Say you're largest lens thread is 67mm and all your other lenses are 52mm, you'd buy a 67mm filter and then a 52-67mm step up ring.

>>2995064
This is a bad idea and will result in you losing a lot of money. Listen to what >>2995071 is saying or you could also buy a filter system like Cokin makes where you just buy the adapter rings for whatever filter thread your lenses use and then all the filters can be used interchangeably. Cokin uses the square glass filters if you weren't familiar. They can be had for pretty cheap now on eBay since they were really popular in the film days. Good quality– made in France as well
