Just got back from a two week backpacking trip in Utah/Colorado. Here are a couple shots that I would like some feedback on.

This or the Nikon F3?
Sony A7
That
As an OM shooter, I'm a bit jelly of all the Nikon glass available. That said, I'd still probably pick the OM-4T(i). The metering is apparently pretty genius.
Does anyone know where can i download some free plugins for photoshop?
I'm looking for plugins that are for sale. Most of them doesn't have a trial and I won't buy something if I don't know if I like it. image related
>>2843743
So you want to know where to steal editing tools. Yes? That's what you're asking for? You want access to free versions of things that cost money.
>>2843745
I just want to try some of them, and I don't think I steal editing tools if i do this as a hobby. I don't get any kind of money from editing.
>>2843743
dude that plugin looks disgusting.
Sup /p/
I will be shooting a topless model next week. Any suggestions?
This will be the first for me. How do I not get a boner? The model is bretty much 10/10 and I dont want to look like a total jerk and give that "rapey-rapey" feeling, look all professional, but i'm very nervous and, what if the woody will be visible?
Any suggestions welcome. I really want to work it out between her and me on a professional side cause if the shots will be nice and shes all happy we might do more and more shoots afterwards.
btw we'll be shooting outside

OK, this sort of shit can get serious. Make sure you get contacts done up front. Get a female friend to "supervise" the shoot. It will put the model at ease and help prevent anything bad going down. Considering you're anxious about the sexual side, it's important to help you not appear like a creepy perv photog.
>>2841179
Why are you doing it?
I feel like if you were doing it for money or as something serious for your portfolio that you would be too preoccupied with making photos with the model to be thinking about her tits.
here's the start of the transit in infrared light

Here's my attempt in visible light.
>>2835593
And the start of the transit.
Just did a shoot with someone who had been bitching about my framing and directing. She and her friend offered to do a shoot with pointers and I figure why not. It was "MySpace angles 101" mostly and the kicker was when the friend in question took over to shoot me and couldn't even focus the camera. This woman who shat on me couldn't take a single in focus picture. God knows what she'd have done if I hadn't already set the aperture and everything.
Why fatties gotta fat? Annoying client stories?
>>2846457
none to share however here's something you might find amusing:

>>2846457
>Just did a shoot with someone who had been bitching about my framing and directing.
If a *non-photographer* is bitching about your framing and direction, your framing and direction are more than likely complete shit.
You're the photographer. It's your job to be able to focus a single picture, not your clients.
Your client didn't fail to perform. You did.
And you could stand to lose a few pounds yourself, buster brown.
>>2846461
>And you could stand to lose a few pounds yourself, buster brown.
And you should probably gains some or yourself. Or don't. I like to imagine how it feels to have your bony ass sit on my face.
Which of these if any are keepers?

So I did my first "official" head shot shoot for a client yesterday.
It was mostly variations of pic related. I liked this one the most out of the bunch.
What is right and what is wrong with this photo? Tear me a new one, please.
Also, how can I edit the face to make it look softer?
Thanks.

chances are your client is going to ask for a reshoot because he won't like the way he looks
>>2845065
Is that a dig at the photo or your experience shooting head shots?
Could use some dragons fighting cacti in the back round to divert attention away from he's ugliness
using noise of really shitty digital cameras as an intentional aesthetic - has it been done in a quality way? pic not related

I like grain in black and white night pictures, but only when it has a reason to be there (i.e. when you're shooting street pictures and need to use a small apperture like 7.1 or 8; or when you want to capture fast moving objects; or even both at the same time).
Black and white basically makes colour degradation and grain less obvious and ugly, and that allows you to get a shot at 1/160, f/8, iso 12800.
It's just like blurry objects in some of the low light shots, a side effect that in my opinion gives an authenticity hale to the picture. It's about getting the shot, so you do the besg out of what you have: should you need good colours and clean pictures, you sacrifice depth of field and or faster shutter speeds; should you need large dof and a fast shutter speed, you pump up the iso and sacrifice good colours and noise-free images.
Or just go full /p/ and buy a 4000$ body that can do 137816638192763 iso without losing quality.

Hey guys, newfag here. I have the chance to grab this Zenit camera for like 10 pounds with film included. I have no idea how to process film or anything to do with cameras for that matter, but I think it would be a nice hobby for me to pick up. Should I go for it?
Oh and does this thing take good pictures? if anyone knows
I've only just seen the Gear thread, do what you need to do Mods
>>2845025
>film included
This thing can take pretty good pictures, as almost any slr of those days. But time and lack of proper care can damage it a lot inside. You need to test this camera by yourself.
So it finally happened. Someone stole the Nikon D7000 that i had for over 6 years. At gunpoint. I stupidly tried to find a way to retrieve it later, but obviously to no avail. The problem is that i was booked for a couple of weddings: one this Thursday and one this Saturday. Though i had managed to get along by borrowing a friend's Canon D70 for a while (which i loved), he needs it back, so i'm forced to actually get another Camera for myself
The thing is that i relied too much on my old Camera, so i'm a bit unknowledgeable on which one would suit me best. I was saving up for a nice Full-Frame one and was interested in the EOS 6D because i believe Canon is overall better for video, but i'm pretty low on cash, so i'd like to get myself a neat DSLR on a budget of $700 or less that will tide me over for a couple of months until i save up enough.
I've always wanted to do better looking slo-mo shots, so i'm leaning heavily for the 60 FPS-able Nikon D3300 that would hardly dent my wallet, but if there's a better overall camera under or around $700, i'd be willing to fork a bit more.
Tl;Dr: What's the best DSLR for less than 700 dollars if i also want to shoot video?
Canon EOS M10
Canon EOS Rebel T6
Fujifilm X-A2
Nikon 1 J5
Nikon D3300
Olympus PEN E-PL7
Sony Alpha a5100
Thanks dpreview.
Also use the fucking gear thread.
>>2845021
I realize this isn't a direct answer to your question but it might be a better option. Instead of buying a cheaper camera just for the next couple of months you could rent a better camera for when you need it. Not only would renting probably save you some money but it would also give you the opportunity to try out a couple different bodies and get a better sense of what you want. I'm not very familiar with camera rentals but I just looked a bit and it seems you could just rent for the time that you need it and send it back when you don't. It's not exactly cheap but it's not $700 so it would enable you to buy a new camera sooner.
>>2845030
This. Otherwise get a 5d mk2 or a A6000.
Bought canon 700D couple days ago and I'm struggling with focusing. Its my first camera.
How do I control focusing myself instead dumb autofocus?
Also, should I read instructions that came with it?
>>2844611
yes you should read the goddamn intructions
>>2844613
You dont have to be r-rude
>>2844621
y-you t-too....
Any of you LA /p/hags going to this shit?
>>2843909
why? so I can meet some shitter like zack arias or eric kim spew their bullshit? no thanks anon
>>2843927
>I rather stay inside and take photos of my chinese cartoon figurines than going out to meet other people and maybe risk a scratch on my expensive glass.
>>2843909
I would stridently suggest that any film fags get down and be the first in line when the doors open.
If anyone has brought cheap film with them, you can bet it won't last long.
Well, I shared this same essay here a while ago when it was first published. It just got published translated into english and I figured more people would be able to enjoy it here now. Meanwhile I'll be posting here some of the shots that didn't make it to the final edit for this particular editor. Enjoy and C&C .

Great! That's awesome! When I first read it, I was surprised that it was on Petapixel. The photos are great, but the story seems like so much more than the usual "My experience with the NEX3n Not a review!" shit that makes up most of the content.
Congrats!
