Got me the Sigma 18-35mm. She beautiful, but has some trouble with back focusing, especially on 1pt focus.
Now I got the calibration cap, and you can hone focus, but because you can't see the effects until you re-attach the lens it's going to take a whole lot of fucking time, going through every focal length.
Does anyone have a map of what they've calibrated it at to save me some time?
Got a 750D

Shots I took in August last year at Bulgaria.
Resized versions of scans prepared for digital printing at 8x12 with 5mm border each side considering framing, matting, and because most of you hate white borders.
Old part of Plovdiv the penultimate house on the right side on the way to the city view platform coming from the theatre.

Friend took us from Plovidiv to Stambolijski where we spent 3 days. This is near the small station that's full with hemp and the girls went on a beach accessories shopping spree as we would leave the next day to Burgas by train.

You guys are going to laugh at me for this.
I pay monthly for creative cloud suite and I have been using windows photoviewer to go through my pictures. I want an easier way to view my photos more efficiently.

I'd say that there isn't really anything wrong with adobe CC, I use it at work but that's mostly because there's 20+ people who need to use it jumping in and out of different projects, and the adobe products are the only thing that *everyone* is familiar with.
Photo viewer is more a matter of preference than anything else.

Anyone know if there is any money to be made in the photography editing business? Specifically in high end portrait/wedding/fashion?
I currently work as a photographer, but my wife is Chinese and we are considering a move back to China, my Mandarin is not fluent enough to run a business and deal with clients and I am not particularly fond of teaching.
I was thinking about brushing up on my portrait retouching skills and offering my services in my home country and just working from home in China.
I do realize that there Indians will do it cheap as fuck.. But I also know a family member of mine (a successful wedding photographer) pays an editor about $1600 to edit every wedding he shoots.
I also remember that trip from ages ago Photoshopr that apparently worked as an editor?
Anyway, honestly curious if this could be a worthwhile business.
Thanks

Theoretically, I'm sure there is money somewhere in editing. Probably not as much as you hope.
Like with photography and other unqualified jobs that amateurs at least partly can do (often adequately), never mind all the art school people, it's probably an over-saturated market.
You probably need people & business skills as well as luck, and some hard work with editing, to get and keep getting jobs.
>>
Photo editing =/= photo retouching.
Now that we have that out of the way, yes there is money to be made in retouching. It is my sole source of income. I do it in the U.S. though. I have no idea what the market is like in China. Yes, there are retouching houses in India as well as China that churn out basic work for pennies but they are generally not used for anything beyond basic masking prep so that we can do the hard work that requires color correction and art direction.
You need connections and a portfolio of work. You need to be highly skilled if you want to make a real living doing retouching, I mean a minimum of 2,000 hours experience doing professional work.
>>
>>2764391
What sort of income do you earn doing this full time?
My market would be the Australian market (and I guess somewhat international being online) as I do not have level of Mandarin fluency to operate in China.
We are not planning on leaving right away, my idea was to build this slowly while still keeping my current job.. If it is something I could develop we could then think about the move to China.

Good afternoon, /p/
I've got some recent stuff for you guys,most of these will be from a week long trip to Death Valley I took in late December. It was my first time there but I could see myself going a lot more often. It's seriously like a paradise, with every kind of desert landscape you could imagine and more. And it's mostly empty in December. I spent every sunrise and sunset without another human in sight, and got to spend most nights in peaceful, silent solitude camping in the van. It's completely awesome. This was a salt and mud flow that was drying up from the floods in October.
All of these are home developed, this is Provia.
To any of you who picked up my plains photography ebook, check your inbox. I just finished a total overhaul and expansion of it and you get an upgrade. The new one is far more packed with info and photos (at least three times as much text), so I promise it's waaaay better.

Dunes with no footprints were a treat. Until I turned around wanted to shoot in the other direction and can see that I totally decimated miles of dunes with my own feet. Classic dune photography feels, good thing the sunset was also good in this direction.
90% sure this one is Velvia 50

The sailing stones, in a place where rocks move on their own. It's a brutal tire-popping and very slow drive down a long bumpy road to get here, which luckily keeps this place from getting a million visitors. I only saw a couple tourists in rental Jeeps photographing with ipads (my favorite) that all disappeared a couple hours before sunset. One of them asked me if I was taking video of the rocks moving. If there was one place I was worried about running into herds of photographers it was here but I lucked out.
This was Velvia 50, definitely pushing the limits of dynamic range but it worked. I might develop the Ektar shots later this week.

Some camera my mom bought for me from a flyer that came with the Sears credit card bill. Fixed focus 35mm, I don't rememeber the brand, but it had two lenses on a rotating disc in front. Twist it to set it in wide or telephoto modes.
First I bought was a Fuji Fotonex 200, I bought into the APS system. Selling points to me were sensible. Storage in the film cartridge seemed awesome since my parents never stored negatives properly. I remember playing around with them as a kid and probably put scratches & shit all over them. Mid-roll change too, though the 200 didn't have the feature, and I couldn't afford the next model up.
First digital. AGFA ePhoto Smile. Quality was pretty shitty, but I thought it was really cool given it was sub-$100.
Is there some quick rule of thumb for Reciprocity Failure for B&W film? I went out with my 4x5 at early evening and made some very thin negatives. (Photo is one of the less thin negatives.)

No.
It depends on the film. Some films aren't so bad but some like the cheaper Fomapan 4x5 films are a pain for long exposures. If you have an iPhone there's an app called reciprocity timer that you can put your exposure value into and dial in adjustments for things like reciprocity, filters, bellows extension, etc. Very handy. I'm trying to find a similar android app but can't find one.
>>
Chances are there's info about your specific film on the manufacturer's webside.
Here's a link to HP5 as an example.

Want to eventually upgrade to maybe a 6D, don't have the $. However, I wouldn't feel bad about dropping a grand on a new camera if the money was made through my photography. What are some ways I can start making money as a photographer? I've had people ask me if I can take their picture for facebook or something, but never charged actual money for it.

You might be able to con a few self-indulgent teenagers into throwing you $30 for some portraits but you have a long way to go before you can be charging real money man.

Weddings.
You're going to need to invest in some lenses first though.

>but never charged actual money for it.
Charge money, and you might make money. If you say "This is free" most people aren't going to DEMAND to pay you $1000.
Take photos that people want taken. Someone selling their house? you can take the listing photos! Graduation? Prom? Senior pics? Family portraits? Weddings? Take nicely exposed photos of waterfalls and flowers and go to a local art show with matted prints. Etc.
