What do you think about set.a.light 3D? It looks pretty cool to mess around with
I for one welcome our new cgi isi overlord.
>>2874426
it is good to mess around but the results are pretty unrealistic because the histogram is always clipping even if you have the lights toned all the way down. on the other hand maybe i am using it wrong

I'm going to NYC tomorrow for the first time. What should I know about shooting there? I'm gonna be going to the museum and statue of liberty, chinatown, etc. Are there any restrictions or anything that I should be aware of? Thanks
You will mostly have tourists and people on their cellphines as subjects. Just dont be a total dick and people won't even give you a second look
>>2874000
There are no rules in NYC. You can do whatever you want. Some common sense that applies to shooting anywhere in the U.S. 1. Don't take pictures of little kids. While perfectly legal and nothing will likely go wrong other than a chance to get dirty looks I just don't want to risk it. Maybe I'm just paranoid. 2. Most black people are chill and will even be outspoken enough to ask you to take pictures of them and they will pose for you. Some of the best subjects. Their outspokenness can also backfire and some can be really rude and aggressive. My advice whether they are black, white, brown or yellow is contrary to most advice I hear. Do not try to explain yourself. Do not try to defuse the situation. Do not engage. Do not stick around. Just walk away without saying a word. This has worked for me so far. Some people just don't know how to behave in public.
In my opinion New Yorkers are actually nice for the most part. Of course if you get so many people together in one place there are bound to be some bad seeds. Not everyone is like that. For everyone person I see acting like an animal I see ten more being cordial and polite.
Last piece of advice. Get an unlimited metrocard for the duration of your stay. Take the train and walk everywhere you go. If you are in the train and get lost you can ask for directions. This happens all the time and people are willing to help. If the person you ask doesn't know or doesn't seem sure there is likely someone else you can ask. If you are on the street you can use the map on your phone. New Yorkers are not that great at giving directions aboveground. People just know A to B of their commute.

>or anything that I should be aware of?
I fucking fallen to a new low /p/.
I'm officially now also a night-club/bar photographer because my portraiture and model photography business has slowed down to a halt. I used to pull in three or four sessions a week, with a $2,500 to $3,000 a week income, but now it's down to about two sessions a MONTH with only $500 a week.
Rent at my city studio was killing me so in the past two weeks, I've just signed up with a couple of bars and nightclubs for $150 a session that wanted to fill up their social media pages. So that brings in an extra $450 every weekend, but I feel so degraded.
Maybe I should go back to the real world and fine a real job. I don't want to do this anymore.
Who stole all your business?
>$750 portrait session
how many people and photos to make that, OP?
If you're not happy, why don't you try something like weddings or real estate?
So I've seen a few commentators suggest only using a prime 50mm as a way to challenge yourself.
So I wandered around the woods for a while, and tried my hand at it - I'm fairly pleased with results, but I'd love to hear your feedback.
Also, anyone else tried something similar? Pretty tricky to capture a landscape with 50mm I found.

3.4mp holy fuck thats a lot more than anyone needs.
1080p full HD is only 2mp
With 3.4 you can print 11"x14" that can be viewed up close easily.
And you can even print bill board sized if you view from billboard distances.
We need more control and regulation of megapixels. Non professionals don't need more than 6 mp.
When Kodak invented the Digital camera in 1973 they never had this much mp in mind.

8 megapickles is all you need, seriously.

Old Thread:
>>2821162
So what's everyone working on?
First for is it alright to upgrade to a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera after multiple months of practicing with a Panasonic GF3? Or do I need something else that's not as demanding and complicated to use as the BMPCC to make a slightly more gradual transition into professional cameras, like a Panasonic G7 or similar?
Fuck, I know it would be a big leap to go from a half decade old compact system to something as badass as the Blackmagic, but I've wanted one of those ever since I got into /vid/eo ;_;
>>2840150
You're building up the blackmagic too much in your head m8. If you know the basics of exposure then there's really not much to worry about except how to expose for the expanded dynamic range and color grading the footage in Resolve. Even then you can set it to record more conventionally so you don't have to think about it and avoid Resolve altogether. Anyways, Blackmagic basically designed this camera for DSLR users, so if you really want it, then fine go get it. Really though, I would suggest rethinking how you do video if you're using one camera to "practice" before getting another one. Just try to make the best videos you can with the equipment you have. While I haven't used a BMPCC, I have used an URSA. It's a cool camera, but has its own set of limitations too.
Well, on to my own question:
I've offered to really cheaply shoot a wedding (at the cost of renting equipment) for a family member. They didn't want to pay for a pro videographer, but just want to get a recording of the ceremony. Obviously I got the video portion all figured out, the only question is the audio. The space is a medium sized church and I don't believe there will be any kind of sound system to get an output from so I've been thinking of setting up a mic, but where and what kind? I thought of setting up a shotgun mic on the camera but that would sound too distant. So should I put like an omni mic or maybe a stereo mic closer to the front like on a pole and run the cable back to the camera?
>>2840150
g7 is better.
if you want raw get eos m + magic lantern.
it's so cheap you can get both.
Anyone ever have any luck trying to make your own waterhousing for a camera? I really want to take my camera with me on a kayak but I don't have the money to buy something nice.
>>2873714
Your pic related is seriously what I would do
I mean I would just shoot it without a care since my nikon is weather sealed
But whenever in-water just wrap a rubber on it
Just buy a waterproof P&S for <$100 if you're a digifag or a Nikonos for <$100 if you're a filmfag.
If thats too expensive then you probably shouldn't be risking your current equipment on half-assed homemade water housing anyway.
>>2873727
This, you're going to spend a lot more to replace your current camera when your half-assed DIY attempt fails than you would on a waterproof camera. There's a reason housings are so bulky and expensive.
My dream would be to have an online site/magazine that matches fashion editorial-tier photography and creativity with erotic nude photography. A step beyond generic nude sites like Met-Art, I'd want legitimate variety and creativity in my shoots, top model-tier subjects but with a sort of sexual freedom and candidness that isn't afraid to show an occasional butthole or open leg pose.
Is such a thing possible?

do you want to make money of it, or just want it to be your hobby? if the latter, just do it and persist
>>2873588
Probably make money. Ie. Have a paid subscription to access full photo shoots.
Who would pay for that, though
nude sites get perv money, fashion photos aren't something you sustain with subscriptions (afaik), a combination of the two just makes less of the stuff people pay for.

It's a shitty photo, partly because it was taken with an old camera phone, partly because it's a picture of the street with the sun setting. Do you know how generic that is? Do you have any idea how many people have taken this same exact shot?
>>2870193
Exact same shot? Hardly.

But, ehy, I'm ok with it.
