 Man... has it been over two years since I took serious pictures? Even my lovely Rebel T3I with a dead ant permanently stuck inside the viewfinder takes good pictures on the back of a rented EF/24-70mm f/2.8L II USM. Sigh... I have too many hobbies.

God drat, I've got to break away from Adobe... but I'm so used to my LR workflow at this point. Took me too long to find this one that I put in my hallway.  Again from my REBEL T3i with my "walkaround" EF50mm f/1.8 II This thread is making me lust after an R system... but maybe I'll just jump ship to Fuji since I rent all but 1 of my lenses anyway.

[picture of usb PD charger that won’t upload] kinda super excited about this PD charger. only discovered that a PD (power delivery) charger is a thing but it’s a usb charger that’s for usb-c but the real game changer is that I can charge the batteries in my eos r using this charger :smugrgw: just plug in camera and it charges. finally mid 2000s technology comes to the eos range of big rear end cameras

I had just pushed through a big cloud of self-doubt that kept cropping up when friends and family would say "wow, what great photos" and was finally taking pictures I was fond of. All my battery packs died over the pandemic somehow... I should hunt down some replacements.  EF24-70mm f/2.8L II USM  EF24-70mm f/2.8L II USM  EF-S10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Renting glass is so much fun.

Echi I am holding you personally responsible for me sitting here avoiding doing work considering spending $1900 on a silver X-T3 and an XF35mm f1.4 in one tab and $1550 for the used equivalent in another... I ordered some replacement spicy pillows for my t3i though.

echinopsis posted:is this your first dive into mirrorless? Vaguely! I've borrowed my buddy's XT-2 and Sony a7 a few times. But at this point, it's been 2 years since I held a camera that wasn't my ridiculously large iphone. I've been using a t3i forever, and while I have the kit lens somewhere, the $125 50mm canon prime is just too sharp and awesome to really take off unless I'm renting L glass. I remember the X-T2 having a weird like... diagonal grid pattern deep in the distance where it would distort things I knew were unbroken straight lines... It may have been the midrange zoom he had on it, but I was kinda disappointed at the difference in the way the sensor interpreted things that were out of focus. I don't remember as much about the a7 other than I hated the interface. The X-T2 was weird but "interesting". Unrelated, I'm trying to figure out a new raw workflow because Adobe just keeps making it more and more difficult to batch render and upload images to 3d party services. I'm actually vaguely happy with the new Lightroom's interface and the online image library... but I'm strange. Each release seems to push the mobile-first aspect of it more and more.

MrQueasy posted:Vaguely! I've borrowed my buddy's XT-2 and Sony a7 a few times. But at this point, it's been 2 years since I held a camera that wasn't my ridiculously large iphone. wonder what that weird pattern is you’re talking about are you using new lightroom or lightroom classic? I was taking some pics of my son last night. face detection, especially eye detection? gently caress they are game changers. I used to lose so many pics on the 7d for being slightly out of focus, but this thing nails picture after picture, and having such large and decent iso means this older 55-200 f/4.5-5.6 can even work in low light, because at 200 it takes some nice portrait. a lot of the criticisms thrown at a camera like mine are from camera reviewers and the like, because for me, coming from a camera released in 2009, everything is either better or miles better. i love the feel of this thing in my hand also there’s this new move Fv which is flexible priority and it’s a bit like manual mode except you can put any thing into auto or manual, i often leave the iso and shutter speed on auto, set the aperture myself and use the exposure to adjust, and in that sense it’s simply aperture priority, except if i want to all of a sudden control shutter speed im not switching to a new mode and losing my aperture settings. i’ve read so many people, including myself, have just switched over to it for everything and small little bit of fun : it films at 120 frames and having a lot of fun with the kids filming and then reversing. reversed slow mo is some great wholesome entertainment

echinopsis posted:wonder what that weird pattern is you’re talking about new lightroom... the distortion it was probably something bad (2+ years ago, so I think I was still in LR:Classic) in adobe camera raw. I felt it might be similar to (but WAAAAY more subtle than) the IOS "watercolor" distortion where the raw reader makes some really bad decisions when doing noise-reduction. As far as newer cameras being magic... yeah... that's why I have the gear lust! The focus-detection fringe thing that the X-T2 did (Is this a standard mirrorless feature?) in the eyepiece was really cool and helpful. Moving to Fuji from Canon (body + a decent lens) seems similarly expensive to either buying a Canon6D or the CanonR+EF adapter I'm absolutely Garbage with video for some reason.... something about the framing + motion doesn't click with me.

Whoops, forgot to talk about what you said about your 7d! It's all about the camera you have in your hand! I've loved my t3i through thick and thin! It's been bashed and slammed an dropped and still works like a champ. But it would be nice to not have to spot-removal the upper left-hand corner where there's an everpresent slightly dark spot in the raw. It would be nice to have more than 9 autofocus points. It would be nice to not have to see a dead ant every time I look through the long-shoeless viewfinder. And while I'm here... (gear lust activates) full frame would be nice too... And maybe some new glass while you're out? Oh, the new MBPs have built-in sd card readers? I've been mostly idly shooting on my phone. The iphone is cool, but it's starting too do too much between capture and writing to raw for my taste.  IPhone 11pro max (OVERPROCESSED, I KNOW, I'M SORRY)  iPhone 11pro max Haven't taken anything I'm happy enough to show non-family yet on my Iphone 13pro max

yeah, that glittery effect where in-focus areas are highlighted is called focus peaking and it's awesome. it's the only digital manual focusing aid that is as good as a 1970s split-prism. focus peaking + sensor-shift stabilization + ISO one million has brought a whole new life to my old takumars. highly recommend picking up a body with those features if you like to use old manual focus lenses.

echinopsis posted:can I ask why in particular this is the way you’d go? Also, my Serious Photographer friends won't shut up about Fuji X-Ts (though to be fair, when out on assignment they dual-wield 5d or something AND the fujifilm) Except the people with the Sony a7s, who won't shut up about how they're always taking f4 telephoto pictures by candlelight and it's so cool. I just don't own much glass, so I don't feel tied to any camera line in particular. I'm also ADHD, so I want new... shiny... different... a move to a micro4/3ds would be a "sensible" amateur photographer choice, whereas the "Full Frame Baybeeee" wolf inside me I see more as a "maybe I should push myself more because I spent more moneys".

there was this awesome time in about 2003-2008 when digital cameras were taking off but digital SLRs hadn't yet, and everyone was just dumping their old SLR lenses at every goodwill. i bought a ton of lenses for next to nothing back then. combining the stuff i bought with my dad's old stuff i now have an example of nearly every lens in the 1970s asahi lineup, from 17/4 to 400/5.6  my favorites are: 35/2, sharp at f/4 and below but soft and glowy with spherical aberration wide open, great for candid stuff 50/1.4, duh, and the thorium glass makes it basically as sharp as a modern L lens while being literally a third the size 135/2.5, excellent portrait lens albeit heavy, and just a huge impressive chunk of glass in general and man. if you wanna talk knobfeel, pick up one of these lenses designed around manual focus use and run it through the range. no modern lens feels as good.

I love this pic. colors are amazing, dont apologise at all for the "over"processing, its extremely appropriate I actually love my 7D. It just feels good. It takes nice photos. I think I realised that I was running too slow shutter speeds for ages when it came to people so I was often blurring them and blaming the autofocus, because the 50mm f/1.8 does have a pretty slim dof. but I still love it. I love it because I would NEVER turn it off. no reason to. it'd go to "sleep" and I could pick it up after a month and itd fire the moment you pressed the button. the low low low battery usage of SLRs makes me so happy. I love that until you press the button or autofocus, it uses no energy to look thru BUT the results of my new eos r speak for themselves. when I get up close to the noise, I am actually happy with the noise, it doesn't inherently have that awful digital noise look. OH and I just love it for some reasons. I've read a lot of other people say the same kind of thing, it was kind of panned a bit when it came out, but then gained a lot of popularity after for just being nice to use somehow and face detection, I know its not a new thing but drat it's nice to have. I really want to do portrait stuff. I've discovered TFP groups on facebook and have yet to go along but just want to work with people. people are such interesting subjects, and there is so much to be done, and a decade of pics of flowers is getting a bit boring. and when its friends and family, they dont want to sit around, so I really want to work with someone who is there for that - a model basically, so I am looking forward to exploring that more. heres a shot with the 7d and one of only 2 good photos ive taken with the 24mm EFS pancake lens

I used to be a snob all about primes but I ended up forking over $700 for Fuji's 16-80 f/4 and it's become my always-on lens. I wish it was a 2.8 but it would probably have doubled the price.

In the DSLR space, I don't think I've seen more than incremental changes since the 5D mIV... another 10 megapixels, another 10k ISO... etc... Canon got off their rear end and finally released a full-frame mirrorless. Speaking of the 70-200 2.8L, I used that lens to grab this absolute Tourist Snap in Yellowstone on my t3i.  I love the shot, but it's identical to every postcard you've ever seen of the falls in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

I really struggle with wider lenses to get anything worthwhile out of them. well tbf i leave the 50mm on but i’ve only taken two photos at a wide angle that are good i rented a sigma ART 35mm f1.2 and it was a nice lens but couldn’t take anything worthwhile keeping as soon as i got the 100mm macro? glorious photos as far as the eye can see.
