Having a $2300 bike just means you USED to have money.

What makes it any different from posting in the Dorkroom to begin with?

I normally really like Ive's designs and I know you could build around the problem, but I can't help but think... "A camera is basically a light-tight box. So, how do we design this? I know! Let's drill a gazillion tiny holes in it!"

MF glass to the face or overzealous security guard?

Attempted action shot of a punch?
I've gotten tagged once or twice doing that, though so far nothing hard enough enough to leave marks.

Or maybe I should shut up and shoot more.

As I get older and more jaded (there is a guy at work who will not stop with the gearchat ever, which I'm sure is helping) I find that this is almost always the correct answer.

In the same vein; Blood And Champagne: The Life And Times Of Robert Capa is a good read. Diane Arbus: A Biography is also quite good.

Anything by Robert Capa is pretty great. Slightly Out of Focus is one of my favorites.

Lately my annoyance with my coworker pushes me to dismiss chart-wankery as a thin substitute for actually taking pictures, the kind of the kind of chained-to-a-desk mental exercise that feels photo-ish but is mostly just good for water-cooler talk while mostly ignoring the things that actually distinguish one photographer from another, for good or for bad. Still, it's useful to be able to look at the charts and know what's going on.

I can say with absolute certainty that I have no idea what is going on in that jpeg.

It's missing a legend, which makes it harder to read even in general (and of course makes getting specifics an exercise in futility).

A quick search pulls up the original PetaPixel article.

Excerpt:

quote:

For those of you who don’t speak MTF, I’ll summarize a bit. In the center 1/2 of the lens (from 0 to 10mm) the Sigma clearly is more contrasty and has better resolution than even the Canon lens, especially at higher (40 lp/mm and 50 lp/mm) frequencies. In the outer part of the image (from 15mm to 20mm) though, the Canon and Sigma are about the same.

The extra step of getting them on to your phone, and then using an additional app to present them in their true aspect ratio, OR the additional step of cropping to a square aspect.
Shoot > Develop > Scan (> dust/edit) > Send to phone > Crop in 3rd party app > post to IG

Get a Robot and shoot 24mm squares. 50 exposures to a roll!

They keep sending FP100c in padded envelopes and the packaging *always* shows up crushed.

Send them packaging feedback about it and they'll eventually put a note into their system that it needs to go in a box.

I'm drawing a total blank on that camera in the woman's hand. What is that? It's huge

It would have to be big; I'm pretty sure that's a Mamiya 7, and 6x7 only gets so small.

A friend of mine in his 60s recently started shooting 4x5, so I've been introduced to the "amazing" world of greybeard LF facebook groups. I know there was a goon who wound up receiving a series of ranting emails from Steve Icanberry after daring to ask him a question about one of his cameras. Thanks to you, he's had to go to gofundme for help!

Beware, though: he probably feels that by looking at his GoFundMe page, you're creating a legally-binding obligation to help him out, and if he can ever get a hold of your email address, he'll send you a monthly email about it.

C'mon, guys, after all her spending caught up with her, and her CAD$2.5M share of a Canadian tax dodge fell through, you can't blame her for cutting corners and wanting to keep as much of the shoot budget in her pocket as possible.

Keep all your photos, folks. Out of nowhere I get a message from the coach of my college alma mater's women's basketball team asking if I had a photo of a particular player going up against another player from a game in 2011. Dug them up, sent her some, and she bought/licensed one from me to be used as part of a collage on their office wall.

Sometimes the most innocuous things turn out to be really big.

There's a deadline of May 18th to get your flickr photos compliant with the smugmug content policy. Some people don't like being told what to do, so I guess they want to vacate flickr before that happens.

smugmug has a no nudity policy so I don't think any goons have anything to worry about but vast swaths of flickr's fetish folks are probably making GBS threads their collective pants.

My impression was that they planned to leave it alone for the foreseeable future.

Yeah... most of their stuff is poo poo. Though the video series they did about their time working at Ritz Camera was pretty amusing.

That video series was better than a random year's worth of other content from both sites combined.

Saw this in my email this morning. Cardboard, view-camera style instant camera using Instax Mini cartridges. They have a (funded) Kickstarter for a brass and fibreboard version too.
The new version seems to be an aperture priority camera with circuitry to automatically manage the shutterspeed, while the cardoard one has only 1/25 or 1/500 selectable speeds. Gimmicky steampunk styling for $130 a pop.

Also, check the comments and be comfortable with a lead time that might go to three years plus.

What the poo poo. Flickr forced me to get a Yahoo email and now Yahoo is telling me they're going to close my email account if I don't use it.

I thought Flickr had completely migrated off the old Yahoo infrastructure. Cut a ticket to support and they should be able to move your account to whatever email address you actually use.
( Their tools suck and they can't offer it as self-service, but the support team is friendly and can do it easily if you just ask. )
