Does anyone else have trouble pushing themselves to go out in the world to take photos? I'm such a solitary homebody that sometimes it's difficult to get out and engage.

Pls no more than 1000px/1MB.

You've posted other stuff from this work site, right?
Should I feel guilty about wanting to shoot a young model friend of mine wearing sexy outfits such as leather corsets and metal-studded chokers? What about sexy adult Halloween costumes? Or Victoria Secret lingerie? At what age should it be not be considered unethical or just too creepy for each of those items? Seriously.
Inb4: why would I want to wear such things while taking photos. Yeah, and one morning Groucho Marx shot an elephant in his pajamas (how he got in his pajamas is a mystery).

>>2715496
Only the reference to Groucho. Seriously wondering if /p/ would shoot or not, given the opportunity. I already have some wonderfully inappropriate clothing. Just don't know if I would be able to edit the photos afterwards without feeling terribly ... guilty.
>>2715482
No need for guilt because there's 0 chance for anything remotely sexual happening. Only a hyper autistic permavirgin would post as awkwardly and as humorlessly as this.
Hello /p/. I've had a Sony DSLR from the alpha series for a few years, and have enjoyed it, though I would like to take a step up. I've been looking into and considering taking on the Pentax line, and would like some recommendations, reviews, and comments you guys may have with regards to Pentax.
My intended first model might be the K3-II. Please let me know,
Thanks!

I just noticed the coincidence of the exif data for this photo provided. It's not mine, but I do like it a lot.
My Sony is on the lower end of the line.
>>2725019
For what.
What are the limitations of your current camera that are making you want to step "up" to a Pentax?
>>2725024
First of all, I want to change to a different product line (Pentax looks good), and secondly mine is lower end so I want increased quality.
I see absolutely no reason to keep going higher, as something like the K3-II is totally fine.
I'm assuming as a whole, you guys would know much more about them, as a product, a line, and a company, than I would.
Anyone here do back button focusing? I just started trying it out and I'm not did if I like it yet.

>>2722444
Yes.

What is your subject material?
Should I get a 35mm DX 1.8G prime lens or stick with the kit lens for my first camera (Nikon D3300) ?
>>2718624
gear thread you cunt
Listen to me bro. I have a d3100 and i have bought recently the 35mm dx 1.8. I quit to use the 18-55mm. The quality and the sharpness of the 35mm lens is beautifull.
>>2718624
You should stick with the 18-55 for your first step in photography.
The 35mm should be useful later when you will know what you can and can't do with it.
So /p/ why haven't you bought your Leica Monochrom yet? Don't you know that color is vulgar?
>>2725149
you dont own one either. go away, poorfag.
>>2725149
if this shall be ironic then you obviously have no clue how sensors work and where the advantage of a non-beyer sensor is.
so go be "smart" somewhere else.
Ignoring obvious shit bait...
Because I prefer Tri-X in my M6.
I'm considering selling my dad's old Nikon "Nikkor" F, basically the chrome version of pic related, with the Nikkor Auto-s 50/1.4 and its case, all in good condition.
Apparently these are quite rare, only made for the German market.
Anyone got an idea what it might be worth? If it's only a bit more than a regular one I'll probably keep it, cause it's a fun camera. I could only find one sold on ebay but it had a "Nikkor" Photomic finder so I'm not sure the price it sold for is a good indication.

Pretty sure it's just a regular Nikon F.
Only with a different label to avoid the trade dispute raised by Carl Zeiss (Nikon is too similar to Ikon)
I doubt people will pay extra for the different name, but with hipsters you never know.

what does she think she is doing. that tripod isnt even on all of its legs
whats the purpose of a tripod if it isnt stable on the ground
Well fuck me /p/, my sister just asked me to photograph her wedding tomorrow.
Now before you tell me to not do it, hear me out. Tomorrow is what we call the "civil" marriage at the courthouse, and it's supposed to be small and quick. Only family and close friends, sign the papers before a judge, exchange some rings, read some stuff. No bridal gown or tuxes, but formal wear nonetheless. Should be done in 45 minutes or so. The big event will be the "religious wedding" at a church with a priest, and that's when the tuxes and gowns and lots of guests will be happening. That's in 6 months and my sister has hired a proper photographer for that.
Nonetheless I don't want to fuck it up, despite my sister telling me she's happy with only 10 pictures. I have no idea what the venue looks like. I've used off-camera flash in a studio environment but have very little experience with events.
Here's what I've got:
- Fujifilm X-T1
- Fujifilm X100S
- 18-55 f/2.8-4 lens kit with OIS
- 16-55 f/2.8
- The following primes: 14/2.8, 16/1.4, 23/1.4, 35/1.4, 56/1.2, 90/2 (X-T1 is crop sensor so the FF equivalents are 21, 24, 35, 50, 85, and 135mm)
- A couple of Yongnuo flashes + wireless transmitter
- A smalled Fujifilm flash
- Spare batteries and memory cards
I'm thinking of bringing both cameras, the 90mm, and the zooms. I tend to avoid shooting at less than 1/100th of a second since my hands aren't the steadiest, so if the venue is dark I'll go for the kit lens since it has pretty good OIS. I don't want to use flash but I'll bring a Yongnuo just in case.
>shooting poorly lit events with mirrorless
How badly did I fuck up? What else should I know before going in there blindly?
>>2724879
Always shoot from the brides side.
Include parents, ring stuff, family and friends.
Make a group shot at the end.
I'd bring the 16-55/2.8 with one body and the 56/1.2 with the other.
I have no idea what I'm talking about though.
>>2724879
I don't know if they'll let you use a flash inside the courtroom for photos so it'd be best to go with >>2724928 and bring fast glass. But yes, bring the Yongnuo just in case they do.
Move around as much as you can. Now, don't go up to the judges stand there and play with the damn gavel but maybe set specific boundries before the preceding and stick within them. However make sure you pre-frame the shots (if you can) so you have the best angles possible. I think your sister would apperciate it more if you can try and get her husband-to-be in in the pics too, just a thought.
>>2724879
Do you not own a tripod?
I'd probably try to bring the smallest amount of gear possible. X-T1 and the 50 and 85mm primes would be your best bet, since you're going to be taking mostly candid portraits.
>A thread for sharing great experiences you've had because you are a photographer, that you would not have had otherwise.
Personally, I've been to more cities, and seen more sights along the way, than I EVER would have without the job. I'm grateful every day for the trips I get to take, and the things I would never have seen otherwise.
I traveled before I considered myself a photographer. Photography came first as a way to express the amazingness there.
But then again, it's not my job.
>>2724539
Doesn't have to be a job! Just thinks you did with a camera that you wouldn't have done without one! A side trip to take a photo, exploring down a dark alley you would have otherwise ignored, and happened to find a $20 bill! Just ways that photography has positively changed your life from what it would have been.
And share photos!

Sensitivity is just another variable that should be manipulated to how you want your pictures to turn out.
If you're interested in using super high ISO's that gearfags dare not think about without stroking an A7s, look at Peter van Agtmael's work from Iraq and Afghanistan.
>>2716093
Grain is not the same as noise.
just ordered one of these bad boys
i've been using a promaster sm180 on location for a ton of shoots and figured I'd upgrade to a better strobe,.
this mofo seems like the best for the buck, I already have the vagabond mini power supply so it's on now.
i bought the silver beauty dish (comes with a sock so i guess its white too) planning on taking the shield out and using it as a softbox some as well.
can anyone suggest a good large octobox for the pcb lights?
I think i'll use my other strobes as slaves to fire with it. along with my speedlight, will their shitty quality of light cause problems?
ALSO im shooting a 5dmk3
canons fastest sync speed is rated 200 but the speed of my flash is supposed to be like 1/13,000 - do I just need to get a ND filter or does anyone know a way to make use of this
THANKS

how did you drop this much coin and not know how flash sync speed works?
>>2724654
well; in hs I can get much higher than 1/200s with a speed light. Wasn't sure if there was any sorcerers here that could shed some light on my inquiry
then there's you, wobbling around with your pajamas and smoking your e cig
>>2724643
>can anyone suggest a good large octobox for the pcb lights?
PCB sells them.

If you still have too much light with 1/200, ISO 100, then yes, you need to get an ND. Not sure why you're mentioning the duration of the flash here though.
What should I do while the shooting season is over and I prepare to spend the next 3/12 months in doors?
