it looks fine dude, there's no other way anyway

From what I'm reading, it sounds like the results aren't very good. Not only does the (sadly necessary for infinity focus) lens element in the adapter affect contrast and sharpness, but it's also quite small and apparently means that most lenses are reduced to f/3.5 or less.

It's worth a shot, though, since it's decently cheap.

Nikons aren't great for adapting lenses to. Get a Canon or m43 or Mirrorless.

I love both of these! but there are little issues that you could fix- for instance, the first one is ever so slightly off center, and the shadow on the left doesnt serve much of a purpose. but the shadow from the ladder looks great!

The second one looks great, too- but theres an issue with the bottom bit being cropped off, and its off center too.

overall i love em! just little nitpicky things keeping them from bein gr8

Here are the sample images I sent him for what I was trying to achieve.

These images in particular come from Gervin, who posts here occasionally, and his work can be found here
http://gervinongervin.tumblr.com/


And here is a link to the raw of the image we were working on .
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ztmvjk8d7iaacbh/_DSF5664.dng?dl=0

FWIW, I much prefer the left image to the right one.

Can you please explain how to achieve the effect in the right picture? Thanks.

A second topic in terms of sharpness: You really do not need to worry about slow shutter speeds. It is not necessary to match the minimum shutter speed to the focal length of your lens.

At 1/15th of a second, the shutter opens and closes so fast that you will only slightly be able to hear the opening and closing sound. It is so fast that your hands, assuming they do the stuff in the steps above, will not move fast enough to really affect the photo sharpness. This goes regardless of your lens speed.

At 1/30, the shutter moves so fast that the opening and closing sounds practically sound like one sound. At all faster speeds, the two sounds get closer and closer. At 1/60 or 1/125, you'll not be able to distinguish anything whatsoever.

Again, this goes no matter the lens speed. It's not a shutter problem if you get motion blur in the photo. It's how you handle the camera. As I have seen in countless real-life cases, this lack of properly handling the camera can actually result in the same kind of motion blur even at fast shutter speeds like 1/250 or 1/500! So, unless there's people in your photo, you can do so much more by becoming a proper slow-shutter hand held photographer because you'll be able to get around without lugging your shitty tripod around (unless you want long exposures and astrophotography, but street night photography handheld is no problem whatsoever).

When cameras first started having rear screens and no view finders I thought it was an ifiotic idea. I can't keep my phone steady at arms length to take a photo.

good info, OP

> mfw when I only use wlf

Pretty terrible, but then 99% of all HDR is terrible.

To much post work? Not realistic enough?

very odd looking.

>>2773634
why that box is bleeding?
Period?

Just time it? Use dcraw and one of the time commands powershell something like Measure-Command { .\do_something.ps1 } & unix/linux/bsd time ./do_something.sh

Or ImageMagick

oh shit can I get one of the top

It's an unexciting photo of mountains with poor composition in standard lighting with no major focal point. There is nothing that keeps me wanting to look at the photo for longer than a few seconds.

The journey is better than the pictures. Nothing stands out or pulls me in. Beyond sharing to social media or with friends I wouldn't use it where.

*anywhere

It's not good. Sunsets are baby's first photograph sort of thing. Composition is totally lacking. Image is very blurry, lacking in sharpness. There is no subject.

Staighten the horizon
Crop for better composition
sharpen
and get more out of the histogram
this is some of the things you could do.

still very blurry ...

>>2771134
Is this really your image OP? I saw it very recently on some photography subreddit, but it could very well be yours

>>2771134
It's a very nice photo. However, the reflection in the water is a bit too saturated for me. Maybe if you can make it a bit natural, would be way better.

>>2771134
if you really took that, make a trip and post more. Really good photo anon, a tad too vibrant at the bottom but that's okay.

>>2770714
Same here, OP. Also, as a challenge, I do some fashion shoots from time to time. Planning, set design, lighting, post production and that feel when you just can't fuck up... I like it.

Personally I enjoy it because being out in nature gives a great feeling. Instead of being a couch potato, I'm now out in nature more.

>>2770714
To document the things I do and the places I go.

When I get some beautiful photos alomg the way, all the better
