Photography nooblet confession of the day: Took my camera to work yesterday because I thought I might take a stroll at lunchtime and maybe take some pictures. I pulled my camera out of my bag, and the battery was dead. Made sure to charge my battery last night, and I put my camera back in my work bag to try again today. Pulled my camera out this morning and it wouldn't turn on. The battery's at home in its charger.

This is why you buy two (or more) batteries and put a fresh one in the camera every time you take the old one out to charge. E: digging the thread title change...

Pulled my camera out this morning and it wouldn't turn on. I was in the High Arctic for my PhD fieldwork and a polar bear showed up. A colleague came into our little shack and said "There's a bear outside". Cue half-panic scramble for boots, guns, ammo, bear-bangers, and lots of yelling. After we convinced the bear to move a bit further away, I ran back inside to grab my camera and my 500mm supertele. I got back out onto the runway while the bear was changing his mind about leaving, so I took some (quite possibly) great shots as he turned back to look at the noisy lunatics still yelling at him. After about a dozen such shots, I noticed the little symbol that was popping up on the screen - "huh, never seen that before." I had just finished transfering pictures onto my computer when the bear was noticed, and I didn't put the memory card back in when I grabbed the camera.

You can configure a Canon to not fire the shutter if there is no card installed. I assume this is true for other brands but I never used 'em.

You can also configure a Canon to not power on if there's no battery. It's specific to each model though so you'll have to read through the manual.

Meh. I’m not even going to worry about it at this point. I’ve been doing photography since September, so I think I’m ready for an upgrade anyway: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/1/17/16902760/hasselblad-h6d-400c-400-megapixel-multi-shot-medium-format-camera

If I’m gonna pull the trigger on that thing I need to make sure it has a popup flash first. I mean, it’s so high end that is has to have one, but I’ll probably go see if Target has one on display I can handle.

evil_bunnY posted:This was more true in the age of film but photography (kinda like firearms) is really an activity that benefits from developing good habits and rituals. Having goofed on the whole battery thing two days in a row, I’m starting to develop similar habits. Luckily it was a cheap lesson (as opposed to someone doing something like leaning a loaded tripod up against a vehicle, only to have it drive off).

Battery powered metering? Luxury! When I were a lad we had to calculate the exposure with a stopwatch by staring directly into the sun until our retinas detached. When our eyes looked like fried eggs, we knew how long to open the shutter for.

Thought of the moment. I wonder if it'd be possible to use machine learning algorithms to separate two images out of a double exposure.

That would probably heavily depend on the image. Some double exposures have very distinct patterns that would be easy to seperate and some have massive blown out areas.

The computer would have to view so much amateur double exposure tagged pics from the internet it would despair and delete it’s own sys32 pretty early on.

500px gobbled up by a Chinese company: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/visual-china-group-acquires-500px-300604033.html "After the acquisition, both companies will provide more professional SaaS (Software as a Service) services to visual creatives around the world, including those relating to big data, AI, and trusted timestamping technologies. Both VCG and 500px will continue to develop digital copyright services, including registration, transaction, traceability, protection, and artistic content collection. Furthermore, VCG will leverage its strengths in the imagery industry and professional communities to accelerate the growth of 500px's community, visual content licensing and custom photography services." "Visual China Group, a public company in China (stock code 000681), is among the top image licensing companies in the world. It is the go-to choice for creative and media professionals in China, and an award-winning leader in copyright protection." So congrats on 500px becoming a getty images for mega processed photos you only see on calendars I guess.

I'm moving to Bangkok in a couple of weeks. Are any Dorkroomers local-ish to there? Does anyone know where the good places for photo stuff are? Specifically darkroom supplies as well as labs for C41 and E6 developing but. Good leads on cool used gear stores would be cool too.

I saw the picture taken by bluejacket in the middle this morning in The Economist. I really like their photos, almost every week there's at least one photo that makes me stop and just say "that's a drat good picture". I would never want to do something like that to get a photo, though. Especially for something like "Here's a very famous person" where it seems easier to just pay the independent guy for the shot and spend my (entirely hypothetical) time on more interesting and unusual efforts.

What gets me is that you're going to end up with like two score of pretty much the same loving picture. In the bigger perspective, is it really worth all that hassle? I suppose this (admittedly half-baked) question applies to photojournalism in general.

It applies to all photo types. Nothing anyone does is original anymore so if you make that your goal you're in for a lot of disappointment. Shoot what you want to see hanging on your own walls and if you do it long enough maybe someone will buy in to your style and want to see your work.

I was in Prague a while ago and the Charles Bridge was a sea of tripods at 7am. I can't imagine how people get shots of areas like Antelope Canyon or Lake Wanaka without getting a billion bits of random photo hardware in the frame.
