Not having at least one prime lens
Using popup flash since i didnt have a real one yet

Investing in speed lights was one of the best things I did for my photography and taught me lots about shooting manual

Having to poop.

Not trolling or joking.

Oh man, if it can go wrong, it probably has gone wrong.

One time, I got to my destination 3 hours late because I got to the gate for my flight on a regional jet, and they said the carry-on space was full and I'd either have to check my camera bag or wait for the next plane. I waited for the next plane, because showing up late is better than showing up without working gear.

Another time, I was shooting a 3-day event at Laguna Seca, and had to drive to San Jose and back (2+ hours each way) on the first day after realizing that the 500mm I'd rented wasn't working right and so I had to swap it for another one at the rental place. (Thank fuck Borrowlenses was within driving distance and I wasn't out on the other end of the country.)

I once had a real scare when my main camera's AF went crazy during an event. I freaked out for a few minutes and then realized that a big ball of lint had somehow ended up on the AF sensor, and a quick blast with a blower fixed it right up.

I've done stupid shit too, like forgetting my laptop at home before a week-long event and having to go buy a cheap netbook to back my photos up through. (I remembered my external drive but not my computer itself.)

I've had editors fuck up and not get me a pass, or get me the wrong kind of pass. (IE a press pass but not a photog pass.) Fortunately the press people at most of the venues I cover know me well enough that they're usually able to work things out for me.

Oh, how about corrupted cards? I've only had it happen during real shoots a couple of times, and fortunately recovery software saved my ass. I won't touch a camera without dual card slots anymore.

Live in Japan. Photography in Japan is easy modo.

I mean workflow in lightroom or PS

So i guess that it's a color issue. Thank you, I've been realy searching for this in a lot of internet tutorials, but all of them are really lacking advanced stuff.

No exif? Probably because I downloaded straight from Flickr.

Well I shot it with my a7 24-70mm lens zoomed in all the way at f4.0 with 30' exposures back to back.

Not OP, but every time you post, I understand the rampant hate you get a little better.

>>2774684
I'm sure it would get plenty of likes on social media but I find it a bit contrived. The only real benefit in making it black and white is to force the black and yellow stripes on the pick-up truck and the train to match the black and white stripes of the zebra

>/p/ you spend too much time talking about gear and posting shitty photos to get critiques and followers on [Photo Sharing Website]

>And don't forget, be polite!

I'm new here, but why do all gear threads have Pentax cameras as the main image? Wouldn't Sony be the most appropriate since the rep of all being gearfags?

To contribute: Have a K-3 and picked up a 50mm1.7 and holy shit I forgot how hard it was to focus similar lenses. One of the reasons I stayed away from my 50mm1.4 Cannon FD mount when I was in a basic film class for so long.

>>2774245
Why would you buy a manual focus lens when you can get an autofocus ona with the same f-stop for the same money? The DA 50/1.8 is cheap as nails.

i don't know a name for it but different films have different tones, so you could possibly check out this list of films with examples for each

http://curatingcuteness.com/2013/05/35mm-film-guide/

and then look that up

it has virtually nothing to do with the lens and more to do with the film or the post-processing done to the digital photo

>>2772535
but I'm a photography pleb, I like my shitty D5000 (not to mention the fact that the OP pic was taken with a D300 of all things)

Its an impressive photo and i think the slow shutter speed and horrible pattern noise actually add to it.

Many can in the center.

So you can crop without losing sharpness.

That sounds like a fatal blow for cameras with shit lenses, like Sony.

Even a shit lens will still improve with more sensor megapickles. It will just gain progressively less.

Also, dxomark's wonderful testing method produces 13 MP resolution on a 12 MP 5D with certain lenses, so take it with a grain of salt.

Has anyone ever gone as far?

fuck zuck is that with a hashtag?

Sell it to a hipster and put the money towards a better rangefinder with a sharper lens and less vignetting.

>>2774627
Take pictures with it or sell it to some trust fund kid at 2x the price.

Read. The. Fucking. Sticky.

No. The whole point of an assignment is that you build the skills and do it yourself. If you get some other people to come up with ideas for you you're cheating yourself out of the learning process and you'll end up with gaps that are a pain in the arse to fill later.

Good luck with your assignment though, if you try hard I'm sure you'll come up with something.

How are you supposed to learn from that?
