What's a good focal length for portraits? Is a 35mm on a crop censor good for full body shots without fucking up the face?

Post New Gear and shit, also I got a short story and I'm in need of help
Got a new panasonic GH4 for christmas today, with a metabone adapter, and a fucking sigma 18-35 canon lens.
I was going to use it to shoot film, and was looking at a tutorial for it when I wanted to put on the new sigma lens and test it out, but it wouldn't fit. I tried twisting it harder, and when I finally gave up, I looked at my lens contacts and
>This happened
I guess my speedbooster was too tight, I'm about to unscrew the face and press down the springs, but any of you had a similar expierience as this?
If so, any tips? Should I use the warranty, or just try and fix it myself?
>>2729236
He probably didn't, he's dumber than those idiots who don't know how to take the lens off of one.
Why did you get an ILC in the first place if you were going to try and screw the fucking lens on like it was m42?
>>2729244
It worked with my 40 mm pancake, so it is suited for canon, just when I switched it, it jammed.
I want to buy a camera, was thinking about Samsung NX3000, got around 300$ (+/-50$) is it any good? I'm going to learn how make photos but I want to use the video option too. /p/ HELP PLESE

I'm sure it'll be fine. They don't tell you this in the shop but cameras are all pretty much the same. Also there's a gear thread for a reason.

Great call.
Hi, I'm willing to buy a video camera, semipro if I can and my budget is around 2300$.
I've thought about Canon C100 (but price) and Sony a7s (but rolling shutter, hate it.)
Can you help me decide or recommend me anything?
Thank you

Judging from your dirty fingernails you are a nigger and the camera is probably stolen.
I'd return that camera to it's rightful owner and apologize.
>>2729011
Your grandchildren will probably be niggers.
But really, help.
I have been wanting to get into photography for a while. I was gifted a Canon EOS Rebel T5 (not T5i). With the default 15-55mm lens.
I am incredibly happy and have already started taking shitty pics all over the house and off my balcony.
However, I do want a brutally honest answer. How good is this camera? Will this limit me in some way in the near future? What can I expect from this as I get better? Is it worth eventually (when I'm better) getting a new lens for this camera? Or will I need to upgrade the camera itself as a natural upgrading progression.
Thanks!
>>2728211
>How good is this camera?
Good enough for your skill level
>Will this limit me in some way in the near future? What can I expect from this as I get better?
In the near future, no. Further on, yes. You'll know. Don't buy new gear just because you feel like you need an upgrade. Buy new gear when you feel constrained by your gear and you know exactly what's causing the constraint.
>Is it worth eventually (when I'm better) getting a new lens for this camera?
Absolutely. Glass (lenses) is much more important than bodies. I would recommend a 35mm prime as your first lens but that's just me.
>Or will I need to upgrade the camera itself as a natural upgrading progression.
You will but as I said, bodies are much less important
Also
>there's a fucking gear thread
>>2728223
Thanks bro!
i have the canon 600d and honestly it's a fine camera
if you get some decent glass the images get pretty sharp.
yes ofcourse there's better cameras, but for every 1% of better quality yo pay 10% more in the cameraworld, so unless you've got a ton of money to throw around i don't suggest buying anything new unless you really NEED it, you can do all of the basic stuff with the kit lens and a simple camera.
this is just a personal opinion but i do recommend getting prime lenses if you want to get more artsy, the canon 24mm stm and canon 50mm f1.8 are very cheap but have pretty great image quality (especially for their price)
also prime lenses are better for learning cause they'll force you to be more creative and move around and stuff.
but for now, don't worry about gear at all my friend,
gearfags will try to convince you that you need crazy expensive shit to be a good photographer, but remember, what you photograph is far more important than what you're using to do so.
if your favourite movie was shot on a shit camera, would you mind? probably not, because the story/characters/location are what draws us in.
just have fun shooting buddy
Hey Anons on /p/
and Merry Christmas!
i got a Nikon coolpix 500
but the problem is that i am a retard.
I forgot to take the cover of before turning it on and now the screen only shows the error message >Turn the Camera off remove the cover and switch it back on.<
Obviously i already tried that.
when i turn it on the lense keeps moving back and forth and the message occurs.
I dont know what to do and thought someone may have had a smiliar experience.
Thanks for any suggestion in advance!

Is SONY A57 a decent camera ?
Sure it is. Especially if you like EVF.
But it's also kind of a dead end. A mount is dead man walking. OK If you can get it super cheap, and you're willing to buy cheapo Minolta era lenses, it's a fine choice.
There's a ton of way better cameras out there, maybe even in the price range. But it's not a piece of shit.
>>2728129
Rumors of a Mount death have been greatly exaggerated
I want to get into astrophotography as a part time hobby, and have ordered the Celestron 6 SE to start with,
Along with the T-rings to mount my Canon 550D to it directly.
Is there anybody on here with a similar set up, any tips would be appreciated, I can't find much about it being used for photographgy.
Generally speaking, for photography you'll want an equatorial mount.
>>2726481
The 6 SE has a wedge for it, how would I get on without one though? Just at first to get the hang of using it, would I still be able to get some decent shots?
There are applications for phones to track stars, constellations, and such the issue is with deep magnification the objects are moving quickly relative to you so without the mount deeper astrophotography (galaxies fainter objects etc.) are much harder to do.
I got a Panasonic DMC-GM5KK GM5 for Christmas, yay. Looks like it's worth about $500 bucks.
Should I keep or return?
What would /p/ get instead?
>>2726283
you should kill yourself
>>2726283
>no 4k
>no flippy screen
return it and get a g7
I would totally keep one of those, especially if it has the micro 12mm kit lens.
Does anyone know of any retired but successful in their day architecture photographers? I want to find a photographic mentor.. How do I go about finding one though?
How the fuck do I go about finding one though?

It always kind of bums me out when someone's hoop dreams are so transparent and (probably) shallow.
Go assist a working photographer. No grouchy ass retired photographer is going to want to be your senpai (not a wordfilter), and it's not like there's a phone book full of them that you can just look up. It's relatively easy to find working photographers, however, and a few of them would probably be ecstatic to have an eager little slave lug all of their stuff around for morsels of knowledge.
>>2729938
Why would I do that when I have several emails a week from /p/ browsing faggots asking to assist me
>implying working photographers are all god photographers
I cleared 150k in 2015 solely from photography and my photographs are only good/relevant for an extremely short amount of time.
>inb4 >bragging on 4chan
Not at all, I make a great living by networking and that is it, the photography itself requires almost no skill.
Your response indicates that good photographers are just working photographers which indicates you are the eager little slave putting hacks like me on a pedestal.

A picture of me fucking Milla Jovovich doggy style.
Good morning /p/,
I took this photo a while back and didn't bother to shop out the blutack holding the nut shells in place.
However, an Anon pointed it out when I posted the pic, but seeing as I hardly ever manipulate my photos (apart from basics to do with exposition, tint etc.) I'm stuck on how to get rid of the blutack and keep it looking clean.
I'm not demanding an outright explanation, but just a few mechanisms or optimal tools that I can look up for myself.
pic related is the one doing my head in.
Thanks for your time guys.

You could either cut the shells out, put a white background on it and paint in the shadows, or you can use the clone stamp. It's a bit tricky, you want to make sure to match the tones of the shadows properly
>>2729698
Thanks for the reply, I think photoshop is a lost cause on this one...as they say, you can't polish a turd.
I'll re-shoot I guess, and this time round I won't be a dipstick.
Having said that, I did try clone stamping, and it was a disaster...
