4x5 Camera Anime Convention

Not at all. Make part of a costume?

>>3027552
Seems like it would be rough getting a subject to hold still long enough to compose and focus in such a situation.

Depends on if you can actually use the camera without shitting your pants.

I saw a dude at AFO doing shoots with a Mamiya 7. That's probably as large as I'd go unless you're going to be using something like a Graflex or Mamiya/Polaroid Press.

>Completely missed her face
How much do you think he lost by paying her?

>>3027552
even considering going to an anime con is serious autism

>>3027653
Where do you think we are?

With a view camera it's full blown autism+aspergers

With a Speed Graphic it can be cosplay if you dress like a 50's press photographer.

>>3027673

why is a view camera autistic?

>>3027682

If it's used at an anime con to do portraits.

Have you ever shot portraits on LF? It takes a lot of time to set up and the model has to hold perfectly still to stay in the plane of focus.

I mean it's doable but you're talking about teenie-boppers amped up on caffeinated beverages. Prove me wrong, use a view camera there and do awesome stuff with it. The press camera will be much easier and faster to set up.

E Z. Just because you don't have the capacity to do portraits on location doesn't necessarily mean that others do not have the capacity.

>Prove me wrong, use a view camera there and do awesome stuff with it.
Here's a start, why don't YOU start doing awesome stuff with your view camera sugar? Where are all the pictures?
Put out or fuck off.

>>3027552
Autistic as fuck unless you are cosplaying as a 19th century photographer or doing serious portraiture work.

Why don't you use a MF camera? 6x6 is plenty

>>3027660
a photography message board
just because /a/ exists doesnt mean i have to visit it

>>3027690

Have you ever shot portraits on Lf?

>>3027721

knew that was coming

nope

>Me
>Actually being good enough to warrant use of my LF cam and posting pics

You're asking for way too much.

>>3027552
If you cosplay as an old-time photographer it will be quite appropriate.

This thread reminds me of something, How can I do up skirt shots with a large format camera.

>>3027716
/a/ hates cons anyway

>>3027552
4x5 can never be anything but autistic.

It's not that crazy of an idea. I saw a guy Carrying on at san diego comic con. I shot a 500cm there.

>>3027616
He probably didn't pay her, she loves the attention.

>>3027690
it really doesn't.
yeah if you're working in a studio or something with barely any light its important for a still subject, but outdoors it usually takes me about a minute to setup a shot if I'm quick about metering and shit.

its not like you're doing anything longer than maybe a couple seconds exposure if you're using a conventional 4x5, the subject only has to sit still for that brief moment.

Acurate representation of not going the extra mile, and/or not knowing what he's doing. Most likely just lacks experience.

>Learning what is good photography from flick/500px/instagram/facebook/"proffessional" photographers
Art history.
Are there free community college courses in this?

There's no point in going an extra mile when you're litterally stepped off the edge of a cliff.
Person bothered to suck not just with a camera, but a film mf camera. Asians in other thread are killing themselves for better pictures than that. ASIANS for god sake!
