Elite Taco posted:Content: I think I've decided that I want to get art board mounted prints of my work and put them in boxes for different types of portraiture and show those to clients at consults as opposed to an album. I picked up the first set of prints today and was just blown away by how much more impact images in physical form have.

The amount of "photoshop" Adams did to his photos is probably more than anyone nowadays will ever do with their film or digital photos. Just reading his explanation of how he "photoshopped" Clearing Winter Storm was insane.

The old film cameras also had bigger and brighter viewfinders to help with the manual focusing, something that isn't needed in modern-day cameras with AF.

CarrotFlowers posted:I did a concept shoot a while ago and I ended up spending quite a bit of money on it for props and stuff and I absolutely hate it. I hate when that happens. Other than taking a complete break, you can try exploring a different genre of photography, something more casual and fun that you don't have to think too hard, maybe like street or landscape photography, etc.

Clayton Bigsby posted:After getting the E-M5 the other gear is basically collecting dust, with the exception of the 7D+500L which goes birding and wildlifing on a regular basis. I am very fond of the 1DsII and the GA645 but neither sees heavy use. Haha that's what happened after I got my E-M5 as well, now my 5D2 just languishes in the drycab 90% of the time. Pretty much only use it for macro photography now, which I'm not sure how long that will last since I also plan to get a m4/3 macro lens soon. I agree with dropping the RB67 since the Sinar can cover what it does and if you hardly use the GA645, there's no point in keeping it unless you like to shoot MF outdoors. I'd agree with spog that you don't really need the 1Ds2 either, the 7D makes up for it quite well. If you really want full-frame, maybe wait for a while and sell your 7D for a 2nd hand 5D3.

That 70s Shirt posted:Does anything in that video even actually count as street photography? My understanding of street is that one goes out looking for unique characters and situations, and snaps photos quickly whenever the opportunity presents itself; not just waiting at an intersection for hot girls to walk by. Honestly that's a little creepy. It isn't really street photography, more like street fashion photography or street portraiture. And they're mostly doing it for fashion blogs, all copying Scott Schuman.

Wow Zeiss's new 55/1.4 is a real beast! I'm guessing this is really just a medium format lens made for DSLR mounts. Best way to get great corner-to-corner performance is to crop out the center of a large image circle.

moonduck posted:This was my assumption to, but I actually got to pose the question to a product manager at the convention, and he said it only covers 35mm. He also claimed that there was some internal doubt in Zeiss about making such a lens, until they all saw the result. That's interesting, guess all that crazy glass in there is to make the light falling on the sensor as strong as possible. And I remember reading somewhere that the lens will probably cost upwards of US$3000.

pseudonordic posted:I'm fortunate in that I'm able to get 5 mbit up where I live but even at that rate, it still took me 3 weeks of constant uploading to sync my picture data (560GB at the time) to Backblaze. I have a copy on my desktop, a copy on my NAS, a copy on an external USB drive, and then the cloud. I'm pretty much doing this too, except my MBP doesn't have enough HDD space for photos so I just use a RAID 1 external drive to hold them instead.

Maybe it's some sort of weird money laundering scheme. It's like that old 2 person con trick where one says a violin is worth so much, and then he tries to sell you the other one at a high price because it might be worth more.

mr. mephistopheles posted:I almost said Alkanphel but I double-checked his flickr and he's got a lot of stuff that doesn't look like his usual stuff so I didn't but I don't disagree. I don't know who sludgetank is. Also I can't remember who takes the loving amazing photos of zoo animals but add that person too because I've never seen wildlife photography like theirs. Haha my Flickr is full of random and experimental stuff, I put most of my usual stuff on my website. I think it's good to keep experimenting even while shooting our usual stuff so that we don't get too stale. And sometimes, what you experiment with do make their way into your established style and that helps to evolve it. And to second what you and Dakana said, curating and sequencing photographs is a really key part of learning. Asking why someone else picked a different photo or sequenced it differently helps to broaden possibilities, even if you don't agree with their choices.

I think I spent like a week last year just going through all my photos to arrange it like dakana, but with the added step of splitting them by format. But the most important feature in Lightroom are the collections, which is where I put all my important photos so I don't have to dig through them again. And if I really have to hunt down some photos, that's what tags and smart collections are for.

He's one hell of a salesman but he will probably never get what he wants, which is to be recognised by the actual fine art photography world, so that he can further legitimise his work and bolster resale value. Further more, most of his super expensive sales are to dodgy private collectors instead of through proper auctions or galleries sales, like Gursky.
