shooting yourself.

It's true. Self-portraiture can be a great way to learn photography, from the basics of exposure, white balance and depth of field, to intermediate stuff like posing, to advanced studies like how the camera lies and selling yourself to strangers.

don't even. we are too many.

We don't care about the process; the final art is all that matters.

Sure, if we see something really cool we might ask another artist how he got that effect, but we don't spend much of our time blabbing about tools or techniques when we could be making more art, or exchanging ideas instead.

Poke fun of our tools, and who cares? We take it as a compliment — and it marks you as an idiot. As artists, we force whatever tools we have at our disposal to create what we demand: to take what's in our mind's eye and fix it in tangible form.

>>2759303
To an artist, his work is him. His work is his vision realized. He is his work. His art is his own soul. His art is important, while the tools are irrelevant.

Artists are consummate technicians, possessing virtuosic ability to make our tools do exactly what we need then to do — but the tools are just an enabler; never the end result.

If you poke fun of my camera, I take it as a compliment because it means I'm able to work around bigger roadblocks than the next sap to get the results I want. When my kids ask me to fetch a piece of paper, scissors and a red crayon, they certainly would give me a funny look if I said they had a good or a crappy crayon. Who cares when what's important is making a red heart for Mama from scratch? The end result matters, the methods don't.

>>2759304
Technicians, on the other hand, are all about their tools. Poke fun of a technician's tools or how he uses them, and he'll take it personally. To a technician, he is his tools. His tools are a physical extension of his body, so say something good or bad about his camera, and he takes it personally.

This distinction dawned on me one morning when I reflected on how my four-year-old is already an artist, not wanting any of us to see any of her pieces before they are complete. She couldn't care less about what brand of marker she's using, but she sure cares about the integrity of her vision before it's realized in the final work.

Most of the people reading this website, and writing other websites, are computer technicians. That's OK, but never confuse a technician with an artist. Technicians are just about the tools, while artists are about we we can create with them.

Exposure variance holy shit

>>2759256
*exposure bias, my apologies

Basically it's how far above or below your exposure was from your sensor's detected "correct" exposure.

>>2759257
Oh perfect thank you!

fuck laptop touchpads

I like my D610 a lot, it's a surprisingly capable little camera. The only thing it's not very good for is fast-moving sports, but it's still somewhat usable for them, just nothing close to the D3S I used to own. (I shot auto racing professionally and downsized my gear when I quit.)

I might consider the D750 though, just because it's not much more expensive and is a bit more serious of a camera. I wish it had been out when I bought my 610, I paid pretty much exactly the same price that the 750 now sells for.

This is neat. Also you can't post 1000 pictures thread caps at 150 + don't be a retard and only share your best images. Rule 1 of creation

>>2758798
You guys aren't very creative if you need help from us.

>>2758802
Do you think the guys in the photo is my team? I found this photo online, and i post it here because I'm an AMATEUR photographer and I was asked by my old company to redo their 'about' photos. I just want some advice in renting the right lens.

>>2758803
To achieve a shallow depth of field you need a lens with a small f stop, a 50mm 1.4 would be good for portraits
