hey folks, long time amateur photog checking in delighted that this chill thread exists, and I got all caught up and you all are running at my speed, and so here's a picture i took the other day of a crew just *partying down* this is an unknown-age-but-old pentax-M 50mm f4 macro lens and a first-gen K-3. i've only ever done photography to show neat things to friends, but i've liked following the yosposters and participating in threads a bit so here's where i will act like i'm a real person and share something i like doing  i see looking through the thread that the slr/mirrorless folks have very different processing styles than i do, and i dig everything i see. i also saw some terms flow around that are corners of raw processing that i've never dug around in before, so i'm looking forward to getting in and trying to fix my red hibiscus shots from the last couple weeks, as they've been incredibly disappointing at home like they always are.

A Facebook 'Memory' from six years back to the last live show I ever covered, so it's been that long since I picked my camera bag up   I remember this gig being in a theater with a big stage (good) but the lighting rig + tech were loving terrible, I ran up against the limits of ISO / Shutter / Aperture and only some heavy duty Lightroom 'All sliders to right' pulled out usable images.

echinopsis posted:it also just makes me think I should sit on photos for a little bit. I did that within the hour of shooting it and now a day later I’m not totally feeling my edit and I think I need to apply some patience lol. also, seconding this that's pretty much why i have everything all backed up on amazon (for however long that lasts). it's always nice to be able to go back and say "yeah this would be better if i did x or y instead"

Went to a baseball game over the weekend, decided to take an active role in taking more pictures in my life. "Cameras with detatchable lenses" are specifically banned from Polar Park, so this was taken on my Galaxy.

qirex posted:it's apparently not very good, I'd suggest you settle for a fuji x100 or save for a leica q nah the mark ii is good and fine. i wouldn't buy one unless i was rich because lol but it's a nice cam. you're not going to get much different image quality out of the leica. the real difference imo is whether you want a 28 or 35 ff, faster burst mode, bit faster af and whether you find the sony workflow annoying. i don't because i've been using them for like ten years now but some do edit: i think the leica might be a bit brighter at 1.7 vs 2 but is that worth an extra thousand dollars? imo no but anyway if you wanted the sony at this point id never buy it new mediaphage fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Aug 22, 2022 |

Right now my skill ceiling is below even what my Olympus E-M10III is capable of, so I'll be sticking in Micro 4/3 land for a while yet. but I still want sexy camera because monkey brain says shiny thing cool.

since i'm rebuilding interest in photography, i've been arguing back and forth with myself about spending money on the hobby and while there are a couple of things i'd like to be able to accomplish that gear would do, realistically speaking, i need to just use the stuff i've got and enjoy the taking of pictures, rather than trying to solve problems that don't exist outside my own head. the only exception to that is, since i've been on pentax since my first slr, i still really want an FA 31mm limited, and but i agree with the thought of 'my skill ceiling does not exceed my gear' - it's more about targeting a specific artistic expression that could be available to me.

like, imo, it comes down to what you do with the cam, its capabilities become irrelevant after a certain point i don't remember if i posted these specifically but it was with a OMD-E-M10 mk1   so don't be discouraged by your camera system. it's an artificial limitation imo

Night stuff is definitely MFT's weak spot.

Night stuff is definitely MFT's weak spot. it's something you can work around. for MFT in particular, i have at least 5 lenses that stop higher (...lower) than f/1.1 and none of them were more than $500 (one's a voightlander clone which, iirc, was exactly $500. the rest were far less, but newer). one of the benefits of this kind of manual lens is that if you stop down (...up  ) even just a little, the focal point is usually sharp as a tack anyway
