Don't post to:

Instagram - I got really (not THAT much) popular recently, so I use it more often
Tumblr - easy and good display of photos

No im saying like he has the same type of look to all of his photos like he puts a filter on all of them but im not sure how to go about doing that
>>
>>2829649
Poor pleb does not understand the difference between creating a visual ecosystem with continuous themes that gives a broader sense of unity in a portfolio to using a "filter"
... I weep.
Are there any mounts available for full sized cameras that I can stick on the dashboard of my car?
I need to put the A6300 + 90mm sony macro aimed out the front windshield and not have it wobble back and forth or fall over. I can tape it down but it isn't that effective.
Do they have any devices that can do this? Maybe some kind of tripod I can mount in the car?

I have both. I will use the Vario Tessar 16-35 instead sometimes. I prefer the picture quality of the macro though so I'd like to use that most of the time
>>2829392
I want to create car driving ASMR videos. I am not very good at photography but the video quality is decent so I will pursue that for now
pic unrelated, just a nice emotional shot I took in my kitchen. for your troubles.
so, any suggestions?

How do I achieve this look? I mean those pastel like soft colors. I remember somebody mentioning that he usually shoots Porta on a MF and overexposes it by 1 stop or so, but what exactly can be/is done in terms of PP to achieve those results?

Let's get real here: if you are using any other brand than Fuji, you are a fucking idiot. Not only do their cameras consistently produce the best images, but they are also the only manufacturer that does not skip on genuinely innovative technologies like Velvia (no, its not the same as using a filter, because its already in the JPG the moment you take a photo). Once Fuji finally buys out Sony, which will be sooner rather than later considering how much money Sony is loosing, they will also be able to start producing consistently better sensors that they will not sell to their competition like Nikon.
Question: how do you convince people not to buy inferior technology?

What is with the current trend of accessorising the FUCK out of cameras?
Seems like everyone these days has some sort of soft release button, artisanal Leather wrist strap, got shoe cover made from rare hardwood, and taping over every logo?
Does this make their photography better or something? Seems like male jewellery to me.

how can i get this tripod to hold a studio light head? i looked on amazon and they all just have that small thread that'll fit the bottom of a camera or flash. Is there a simple adapter? Thanks!

I don't want to discourage you from experimenting, I just want to lay on some facts about this.
Unless your studio light is really underpowered, that tripod isn't going to hold these very well. Monoblocs are heavy and this thing will sway a lot.
Unless you want to use your monobloc as a kicker or backlight, this isn't going to be as useful as you might think. It's better to just buy a really cheap lightstand that can support the weight of your gear you intend to use. If it breaks, you can save up and buy a better one, if it doesn't break you can use it until it does. Win/win.

In the past twelve years that I've pursued this hobby, I've watched EVF's progress from laggy, battery-sucking, low-resolution, nigh useless pieces of shit into the crisp and refined EVF's we have today.
In your opinion, will analog ever be completely killed by electronic? Not just in viewfinders, but in other aspects as well such as buttons vs touch screens, smarter meter/AF programming vs manual adjustmensts, or crisp high-ISO settings reducing the need for fast glass.
I'm asking this in the context of mainstream, for-profit, professional photography, since analog tech and older style gear will likely always be used in some capacity in certain niches.

Probably, yeah. The only professional situations I can think of where an EVF isn't objectively better than an OVF is for flash work/studio style stuff. Though that makes up a tremendous amount of "pro" work, so maybe I just contradicted myself.
>>
>>2830572
OVF hasn't got any lag, nor does it take time to adjust to the camera settings, or to a change of light intensity/color hue.
EVF can hardly do fast action, along its focusing system.
>>
>>2830612
Modern EVF hasn't got any perceivable lag either, and we're talking about the future, where it will only get faster. It doesn't "take time to adjust its settings" because it doesn't have any settings to adjust. A lack of features is not a feature.
EVF can do fast action just fine now (XPro2 EVF has an 85fps framerate, for instance), and will only continue to get better, very quickly. The same will be said for focusing systems.
The focusing system in the 1DxII can be traced back along a path ending in the 80s. We're looking at 30 years of advancements and technological progress.
Mirrorless style focusing systems are much much less mature at this point, and when that has reached 30 years of progress, it will be equally impressive.
In a thread talking about the state of technology right now, you're (sort of) right. When you're talking about "ever" you're way off.

Shoot at a wide aperture?

It's the gear and the compositon. Notice the chain-link fencing gives a really clear gradient from sharp to blurry. It's shot at a wide aperture to give shallow DoF.

I have a 5d3 and blah blah but this cell phone snap is still one of my favorite pictures of my little dear.
I hate that it's not sharp and the background looks so busy and the lighting is bad... does anybody have any advice on what to do? I'm not an Instagram or whatever type person, I shoot sterile stock garbage that never feels as natural as this, so I'm kind of lost.
Out of all the pictures I have, this is the one I most want to print and put on the wall - but all I see are the flaws.

it doesn't look that bad, you only missed the focus. Other than that what's the deal? You said yourself you enjoy the picture because it's sincere and organic.
If you want a technically better picture obviously you should use your 5d3, play with the baby and shoot it with shallow DOF.
Do you understand the basics of photography? If not, that would be a good place to start.
>>
>>2830360
Yes, I know a thing or two about photography.
I could mask her out and Gaussian blur the background, then flip the selection and do some contrast sharpening by playing with the frequency - but its gonna fall apart since it isn't a 21mp raw file.
I was looking more for a cell phone users opinion.

Also, it's about the moment, babies grow up fast and she's way older now, this moment was the highlight of that first 3 months. I machine gunned it so I've got others but none of this is my cup of tea.
