Hello all,
I am a security guard who works night shift in a 40 storey office building. I would absolutely love to take a pair of binoculars to pass the time seeing as there is a major construction project adjacent to our building.
Please tell me what to look for when buying a pair.
Thank you.

Large objectives for a nice bright image, sealing to keep crap out of them, and quality coatings/optics.
How much are you looking to spend?
>>
>>2952430
Maximum $500AUD

>>2952431
Do you own a dslr? You could spend that $500 on a nice telephoto, that way you can see shit and also take photos.

Can't decide what perspective I like better. Do I go for more background showing "mood" of the scene or do I go for the shallow DoF?

I think the top is a much nicer looking photo in general, but if you want to just showcase the gun itself the bottom one does just that

Usually there's this knob on top of your camera, all you have to do is turn it from the green box onto Av or M.

>>2951245
That pic seems to be about manual vs auto white balance though.
>>
>>2951258
Nah the exposure was lowered by what looks like a third stop on the left, protecting the flower's tips from going white
So I bought myself an nex and holy shit it's so much better than my canon dslr
>smaller
>lighter
>not psycho black
>less threatening
>has focus peaking
>works with any and all manual lenses
>has auto-chimp
>superior sensor performance
the only disadvantage is shorter battery life. honestly unless you are a professional as in a person who makes a living from using a camera, there's almost no reason to use a dslr over mirrorless.

Vibrance is really just going to increase saturation for certain ranges without touching yellow/orange/red too much.
>>
>>2950658
This isn't how vibrance works at all.
Saturation boosts everything, vibrance brings up the saturation of the less saturated areas.

Not at the moment, but the IBIS is really nice.
Sigma might release more F1,4 crop lenses in the future, and those aren't stabilised.
>>
>>2948688
Pentax user here, IBIS has always been nice. You guys missed out of the fun. Put some old ass lenses on it and enjoy active stabilization.
>>
>>2948685
The price is a bit steep, otherwise I'd already have bought it.
As-is, I'll probably buy some 30mm DC DN and a TTL strobe and other stuff first and then decide.
>>2948688
IBIS also always has been interesting together with adapted autofocusing lenses.
>>2948836
> You guys missed out of the fun
Sure... though now you seem to be missing out on AF fun.

hi /p/
I'm looking to a camera system to invest in, the Sony A6300 seems nice for me as it have good 4k, good quality photo and a viewfinder. But why are lenses so expensive?
Canon 70-200 f/2.8 is 1400€
Sony 70-200 f/2.8 is 3000€
I've heard that Canon is way better than Sony in optics and btw I won't spend 3000€ on a lens. So if I look at the f/4 version, it's 1500€ for Sony and 600€ for Canon, again...
My question is, should I go for a Metabones speedbooster EF to Sony E ?
The speedbooster itself cost 800€ and canon lenses are cheaper, plus I will have this extra light/fov/bokeh on any lenses.

Because they orient themself on Canon's new pricing, I guess.
Also for the f/2.8 because it's the best such glass.
> Metabones speedbooster
You could do that or a Sigma MC-11.
>>
>>2948161
Some will argue that speed boosters degrade quality, and they can slightly at 1:1 pixel peeing, but the amount that speed boosters damage IQ is neglibilge.
Economics is the reason for the high Sony lens price, E mount lenses are newer and they're hot shit on the market with high demand.
Go for the canon lens+ speed booster, you may want to wait a bit to buy your a6300, the a6500 is releasing soon and you could possibly save a couple hundred on the a6300 body if you're willing to wait a few months.

What would you classify as art photography or fine art photography? Any photographers you recommend? Any art photographers here? What makes it fine art photography fine art?

I'd say at this point in the contemporary context; fine art photography has a degree of experimentation and pushing boundaries to produce something beyond reality.
Alvin Booth is a great example of this.

Not OP but thanks for that tip.

There are three kinds of photography: art, documentary, commercial.
They all share many common characteristics, and often a photograph or a photographer's work will ride the fence between two or even all three. The only thing that ultimately differentiates between the three is intent. Commercial photography is created with the obvious intent to sell or offer a service. Documentary photography wants to capture a subject and a scene as it was, with as little editorializing as possible. Art is everything else: essentially, it's a freedom of expression and intent.
What elevates art photography to fine art is the sophistication of that intent and expression.

There is no such thing as universally-recognized press credentials. They are either just ID cards produced by the agency you work for, or they're issued to you by the event you're planning to cover. The former doesn't guarantee you access into anything, but they do help you get the latter.
tldr; start by getting a job in the press

>Fuji GX680
OR
>Mamiya RZ67
So basically, I want one of these setups for shooting architecture.
The Fuji setup has the bellows and the Mamiya has 2 decent Shift lenses (and also bellows??)
To be honest, the only reason I am considering the Mamiya RZ67 is because I have the chance to get a mamiya 645AF for a good price from a friend.
Also, I imagine the Shift lenses could be adapted too the GFX.. But what about the weird GX680 lenses? Could they also somehow be adapted to the GFX?
What is the better SYSTEM for shooting architecture? Thanks.

I meant to add that the 645AF comes with some lenses that could be used on the RZ67 which I could purchase at a later date.

>I want one of these setups for shooting architecture.
why don't you save yourself a lot of money and get a 4x5? Rail cameras are free to cheap, and lenses are a fraction of that you will pay for some weirdo MF lens. What you save you can spend on film, and when you want to go digital get a scan back.
>>
>>2947119
I normally disagree with this, but a scanning back is actually a valid option if you're shooting architecture exclusively. Just get a compact camera for everything else.
