I do it because it makes me seem cool.

Coming from another poor fag,
I didn't pick up photography until I was 18, back in 2014, my first camera was a canon ML, great film camera.
Film photography was appealing to me because; I bought a camera for 5 bucks at goodwill, I bought a 2 dollar film roll, and I paid 5 dollars on film dev and scan.
For 12 dollars I was given high quality pictures, with no need for post processing because of the color values that film stocks have.
That's what was appealing to me, that I didn't need a 500$ camera to take nice photos.
After about 6 months I moved to digital because I realized film would be more expensive in the long run, and I prefer shooting raw.
I think the big appeal to people who aren't financially limited to film, is that they don't hold total control over it. They can meter, they can expose however they want, but ultimately they don't know what the final image looks like, some find that appealing, I don't.
I think maybe it's a "suffering for you art" or hard work kind of mentality to it.
Currently selling all of my film stuff, I have no desire to keep anything but a few legacy lenses.

the first time i watched into a 6x6 waist level finder i was entirely blown away. it was like taking a peek into another dimension.

i giggled like a retard when i saw my first medium format slides in the light table.

everything film related feels like eating chicken soup on a rainy night.

Who stopped putting pentax pix in op posts? Get it together you fucks

Excuse the layman-ness;

I bought a cheap ass wireless flash remote trigger thing on Amazon and it only triggers it at 100% power, regardless of speedlite settings (my flash does not have a programmable LCD back) After trying it, I quickly realize it made sense it didnt work with TTL or different power settings.

so then I got one of those curly cords that hook the flash up (which the description said works with TTL) but upon using that, It doesn't recognize that a speedlite is hooked up when I go into settings, but still fires at 100% power. Is this how all flash cords work? doesn't really connect to the camera even though it's got all the connectors via hotshoe?


This is pretty gay, and I guess I will have to use a diffuser and umbrella and hope my light isnt too hot, but will have to do until I buy a Yongnuo instead of first-party flashes.

not particularly
a k-1 would be more suited than a k-3, but a k-3 would arguably be more suited than, say, an EOS 6D because it has that very cool pixel shift function

even if you're not talking about pentax, the biggest advantage in using a bigger sensor is usually less noise, but since you'll be shooting on a tripod (you'll be shooting on a tripod right?) you're better off using that extra money to get better glass

also next time for this type of questions you may wanna refer to the gear thread

>>2933986
actually a small sensor has in this case the advantage that generally the coc is smaller and therefore the dof wider. so it will be easier to achieve the hfd which is good for landscape since you want mostly everything in focus.

but you still should use the gear-thread for a question like this. aye?

>>2933994
Unless the glass has shit lens resolution, I think focal length and aperture matter the most if you know what you're doing.

>Anything but infinity focus.

>>2931034
>Additionally, would fuzzing up the bokeh in photoshop afterwards help the bokeh look nicer?

what, are you gay?

>>2931035
no sir, but please continue

>>2931034

Bokeh is a one-trick pony and shouldn't be of any concern to you. You'll use it three times and get sick of it and realize that no good, serious photographers use it all the time.

Sharpness is also of no concern, as you'll quickly realize that content, story and even just basic shit like composition are more important.

Basically, you're getting hung up on trivial concerns.

>>2932251
Is it a petzval lens

>>2932251

its a brand new buyers remorse.

lol

This is 99% rotten ol' bait, but on the off chance that OP is being serious, close that order page and don't even fucking think about buying a new body, lens and flash.

Post the picture you are most proud of. Also, post the things you hope to do with the new camera that you can't do with the current.

There are endless rants on the internet already about gear being blamed on poor shooting when it's the person behind it that's to blame. You need to take a fuckton of shots with the rebel, run it into the ground and make your shutter explode, so that you get the practice you need. You should switch out of P mode, shooting Av and Tv, paying close attention to iso, shutter speed and aperture, before switching to M and setting them all yourself. Learn about exposure until you can see any scene and know what settings it demands. Whenever you catch yourself masturbating to test charts and YouTube reviews by snarky Asians, take your camera and go outside to shoot instead.

Fuck dude, you are not limited by your gear, its your mind rationalizing its own ineptitude so you don't have to face the truth - the solution is not a shiny new toy but countless hours of shooting. There is no magic pill for practice, and if you do click purchase, I hope you accidentally drop the bag of gear under a moving bus and the only thing that survives is the SD card to put into your rebel and shoot some more.

Looks exactly like every other hipst- sorry - photographer's instagr- sorry - website. 10/10 good job.

First one that comes to mind:

I like your photos for sure. Good work but the style is becoming pretty common. I'd like to see less "rap scene" photos and more model photos with emotional connection to the images.

Just curious, but why?

Moved to Japan back in July to teach English through the JET Programme. I've posted my pics already in some other threads recently. Mind if I dump a few of them in here as well?

>>2924723

they are exactly what this thread asks for.

>>2917729

take this newborn amateur bullshit elsewhere.

>>2917732
Got any recommendations on where to take it?

>>2917734

reddit, or flickr, they have whole groups dedicated to admire chromatic aberrations. good luck.

Concert photography is for people without talent.

>>2911102
Or maybe people enjoy doing it? God forbid someone enjoys taking pictures.

Impossible, ever single person who has ever taken a photo at a concert hates it. It's a proven fact.

Is pentax even relevant anymore these days?
It doesn't look like anyone is making anything for them anymore. K-mount dead.

When will the dank memes about ancient Pentax lenses being "sharp enough to outresolve the sensor" die?

Why is Sony incapable of making weather sealing?

No, it's a bread.
