I purchased these books from the original author. His work is quite exhaustive.
Ask about lenses from the 1990's or so and earlier and I will endeavor to deliver the data.

I've been trying to learn depth of field and thought taking some photos of plants would help validate some technical basics.
I'm shooting in a variety of modes, but trying to stay within Manual settings, toying with aperture. Am I correct that as I dial aperture from f.17 to f8, for instance, I'm using less light, but reaching higher depth of field.
Am I wrong that when my aperture is small, its as if I'm "sniping" my subject with a cone of moreso in-focus, higher details?
And as I increase the aperture, I'm broadening and flattening this cone of high-detail capture?
Am I understanding this correctly?
I'll post some examples I've recently taken with an LX100, some with a tripod, some without.

>what is a dof scale
>>2922072
Basically yes, a larger aperture has a narrower depth of field, but doesn't suffer from diffraction, while with a small aperture more becomes in focus, but set it too high and details begin to blur.
To be specific, given infinite resolution, even f/1.4 would cause diffraction at some point, but realistically your typical camera sensor is not diffraction-limited until around f/10 or so, although some cameras can show diffraction as early as f/5.6 as in the case of the 7D.
This is just talking about detail loss on the pixel-level, whether or not it will be visible in print is a whole different ball game, and is the basis of hyperfocal shooting, which is setting the aperture and point of focus in a way that makes everything seem optimally sharp within the visible constraints of a given medium.
>>2922078
The DoF scale on most lenses new and old is based on criteria that was standardized in the film days, and is not really suitable for digital. The terribly short focus throw of modern AF lenses makes it hard to use as well.

Here's a crazy thought; post a photo taken with the camera instead of of the camera.
This is the photography board and we actually have a rule about putting some fucking effort into the shit you post here.

I don't scan my film photos anon, I believe it sucks the vital essence out of the film and deprives it of the special essence of having been there and exposed to the actual photons reflected off the things that were really at the scene.
The piece of celluloid itself becomes tainted. You are then left with a physical waste product that MUST be destroyed, and an ever-imperfect digital representation of what could have been.
You're killing the magic anon.

I want to know what the limitations are when using Magic Lantern's RAW video mode with my 5D Mk. II.
What are the limitations of Aspect Ratio and Image Resolution?
>>2921945
The limitation is card write speed.
With a 95 MB/s or faster card, 5DII can write at ~70-80 MB/s max.
>>2921945
Yup it's a terrible thing that magic lantern isn't documented at all and doesn't have a massive forum with such information.
>>2921954
Is this CF card fast enough to film in 1920x1080 with an aspect ratio of 16:9?
I don't think of myself as a good photographer. I'm interested in some constructive criticism.

there's that unfunny meme again. now tell us about le killer mail order bride once more.
Anyone here established as an actual business for their photography?
Are you a sole proprietor or an LLC?
Can we talk about things to know in the legal side of things for those wanting to make a legitimate living off of photography?

You mean like proprietor of a locally sucsseful 'XYZ photography' """company"""?
And what legal aspects do you want to discuss? There are the same rules and laws for you as for anybody else. Pay your taxes. Always make written contracts.
And that's the whole story, bro.
I can't speak to a photography business specifically but I know a little about business structures.
A LLC is a very popular structure for people who want to protect their personal assets and it makes sense if you have business partners. However it will not protect you from personal liability suits because even if you form an LLC they can still hold you personally responsible because you are the one performing the duties.
Basically pay your taxes and don't get caught up in the "I can just write it off as a business expense dodge", if you ever get in the IRS's black book they will keep coming back to you like birds to a feeder.
>>2921648
Yes, always get everything in writing and document. Even in cases of he-said-she-said daily documentation in a journal format can add serious weight to your side. I keep a little pocket memo book and a pen in my pocket and I always jot down notes during meetings, after meetings, or any correspondence.
Please give me every picture with beautiful colorful fluorescent lighting you have.
Anything comfy and colorful and N E O N

get rid of as much of the ugly grey blur as possible and maybe centre the man as the focus point of the picture
as so

hey /p/eople, i was looking for some advice on where to find good general info for good photography, i.e. photography for dummies or something along those lines. I picked up a Canon Rebel t6i as a starter camera. Was this a good choice?
pic related its the camera

I started on a rebel, it's fine
more important to actually go take pictures anyhow.
Go shoot on auto mode
eventually you'll get the hang of it
worry about exposure after that.

Yep, there's a little bit and looks like the whole thing is just a little bit off. Not completely straight.
Having said that, it looks pretty nice. I'd be happy with this and honestly couldn't tell you anything specific that you could do better. I'm still a newfag though
Pretty solid slik minimal photo. Love the grain and not having true blacks makes it Instagram ready... Many people many not like that unnatural color look but it looks k. Great job

Overcompensating for small penis.
Focal length is a literal descriptor. Also, the longer the focal length, the harder it is to get a bright image, which increases the need for a large front objective to increase light gathering power.
