Ken's a genius at bringing the Dunning-Kruger Effect out in hobbyist forum photographers, actually.
Just absolutely brilliant at it. It's been going on for more than a decade now, and you people still bite his hooks.
>>2694619
He's also retarded. He can't operate the A/C in a modern car.
>>2694623
You probably just haven't driven an expensive car before.
Beemer A/C units are indeed way overcomplicated these days. Hyperbole applied and yeah, I'd call it impossible to adjust too.

as much shit as rockwell gets, this is bretty good
>>2694528
Agreed. I just read it and felt like he's giving the cold hard truth. Granted it won't apply to every single pro photog out there, but I like his practical approach to the matter. As far as keeping a regular job and doing shoots on the side to supplement the income, it makes a lot of sense. I also think that to the days here when there were countless threads where the OPs rode the hype train saying they were ready to move to full frame and didn't have the budget to get anything beyond the body LEL.
Anyway, OP if it's really your dream to do it professionally then don't give up totally Just go into it knowing that life isn't going to be suddenly sweet once you gear up and start doing jobs.

I shoot jpeg
only a profesionel photographer like me can see those differences.
I'm a profesional artsist.
Please support my growing family.
I make profesionel artist. My fotos is art. Look how arty my fotos from grand canyon is.

I am working on these photographs, and I would like to get some criticism. I took all of them with my cell phone camera (I have an outdated droid) and edited them in photoshop. I am inspired by Stieglitz's series of equivalents he made in the 20's and 30's, as well as romantic painters like Turner.

whats the lowest possible f-number?

How many worthy photographs does this flick have?
Unsage xD
>>2693543
The fastest lens that can operate in air should max out at around f/0.5, if you want to get higher values, the lens needs to be submerged.
>>2693543
>theoretically 1:0.3535
I assume that's 1/2*√2?
How do they arrive at that number?
Where is that traveling camera, still in EU?
It's lost or stolen. Instead of getting a new one going people are complaining about losing a 5$ camera and the cost to replace it. I was never interested in it other than people posting mildly interesting photos from it.
This wasn't the first one we did, and this wasn't the first time the camera was stolen either.
A few years back I was supposed to get the camera, but then the guy who was supposed to mail it, never did.
i wanna play this tbh
what do you guys think about modelling for your own photos
i do it mainly to test out lighting affects but i've been called narcissistic for it

Nah, it's a good process and an excellent learning exercise.
Just don't make stupid tryhard pouty faces like in the photo you posted and you won't be called a narcissist.
Protip: Focus on your tripod head from where you're standing for perfect focus.

Can I use caffeine powder instead of ground coffee to develop my film?
No.
The active ingredient in coffee developer is caffenol, not caffeine.
You can use instant coffee if that helps.
>>2693058
No, use instant coffee. I understand (but may be wrong) that the main developing agent in coffee is not caffeine but the other stuff in it like tannins. Some coffee formulas include ascorbic acid which is also a developer.
>>2693058
why not just use developer?

>Less light absorbed by silicon as pixels get smaller = lower quality image.
Nope. By that logic, we would all have started with D810's and progressed to Kodak EasyShare's.
Sounds like this is solving a problem invented by a marketing consultancy.
