I really want to run the ring with a GPS logger to do that exact same thing, but an exact scale version of my run.

xzzy posted:There's a lot of two bit photographers that set up on corners on the ring and try to sell shots of people driving it, I suppose they make decent souvenirs but do it producing some really bad photography. Vast numbers of poorly processed photos get dumped on the internet every week, trying to make a buck. It's a product of digital photography man, these days the business/marketing end of photography trumps any actual skill at the craft. Just hold the shutter button down and go hog wild!

Now to really hammer that point home, let it sink in that there are "professional" photographers who have businesses, yet the only camera they own is the one on their iPhone

I just have a problem with it because it feels to me like it's slowly killing the actual art of photography. Now instead of picking and choosing your lens, making sure you have the exposure right, choosing the right aperture value, etc, you can just... tap the screen on your phone and bill yourself as a Pro portrait photographer or whatever. It feels cheap. Like, I've seen some great cell shots, no arguing that. But it's just not the same as actual full on photog :\

So...

I had to go look that up from the description and honestly that rear end looks like poo poo. Raw size and displacement does not make a good rear end.

14 is more of a function over form guy when it comes to women, and the function is basically the same as a bandsaw. Check out what's for sale this weekend at the Canadian autocross nationals:

There were still plenty of no-talent hacks making money; auto-exposure was pretty advanced going back quite a while, lovely framing and lack of compositional awareness have nothing to do with sensors.

High end equipment can make a good photo great, but it can't make a bad photo good. A good photo is still at least 90% composition whether you're shooting with an iPhone or a 1D with a $5k lens. Speaking of amateur photography and stuff that is AI car poo poo:  This is a completely stock looking Volvo S70 AWD with a 6-speed manual swap and a ridiculous amount of engine+turbo work to dyno just shy of 400hp. That was a fun ride along. Guinness fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Aug 23, 2015 |

Qmass posted:Seeing as how the -ve effects of most everything you are talking about can be corrected digitally, to a degree that "nobody that matters" can tell, what actual difference does it make? Honor? I mean the world wants this indistinguishable from render horseshit anyway, if you can start with less why learn how to avoid what you are correcting? - http://jordanshiraki.com/2014-bentley-continental-gt-step-by-step-photoshop-walkthrough/. In fairness, an old guy that just knows analogue photography can probably only do a fraction of what a photographer can do today, even if some of the craftsmanship has been lost. Not so much honor, i'm more worried about the death of... I dunno, i guess craft is the correct term? Like, why would someone bother grabbing a DSLR and learning the ins and outs of all the features on a full fledged camera as well as stuff like exposure, shutter speeds, etc. when they can just use their smartphone to shoot photos? I know it sounds silly, but I seriously can't help but wonder if one day DSLRS will be the new vintage 35mm film camera. You know, something widely regarded as antiquated that only a really small group of diehards still use.

There's a skill to shifting properly and a sense of pride when it's nearly subconscious. I understand that completely, but there's also something wonderful about people having a machine that interprets their vague inputs automatically and that translating well enough to work well enough for most of their lives; the tech behind both is impressive and is getting good enough that most people don't need to experience the old way of don't things. Sure that's a loss of a skill that is difficult and used to be completely necessary in the past, but I'm also glad I don't have to persistence hunt my burgers in the nude either.

Maybe so, but nowhere near on the level it is today, don't act like digital didn't change everything. I shot film professionally when digital was in it's infancy, people that wasted film with poo poo images didn't last long, with digital it doesn't matter fill up that 6GB card there's a decent shot in there somewhere!
