lol so i bought this lens and a tripod from a guy at work and it's insanely huge. it's a sigma 20-40 with an 82mm filter size. i kinda feel dumb, im not sure why i bought it but i guess i got excited and made a dumb decision. i took some bee pics with it, though, and it seemed to do ok - we'll see how it turns out when i load 'em on the computer in the next couple of days. i had originally thought that i'd take this lens hiking with me - was thinking "oh short focal length, that means small lens" without thinking about the filter markings that were _right there_. i...don't think it'll be comfortably usable for that. but hey, i can always sell it if it collects dust for too long the tripod seems very nice though and i'm glad to have it.

a lot of third party lenses are xbox huge, probably sagebrush can actually say why but i'm guessing it's just easier to manufacture something that performs well luckily for MFT it's not that much of a problem. i posted it before but the 85mm rokinon is loving massive, way bigger than the bodies, and its heavier too i think lens manufacturers picked up on this being a problem though because its by far the largest lens i have for the system, lol. its bigger than my 300 mm panasonic ffs

third party lenses are big partly because the same optical formula needs to work across whatever mounts they sell the lenses for, and that’s tied to registration distance and flange diameter… but i also understand that recent third party stuff and increasingly first party designs are beefing up because of contemporary use trends. i think someone in this thread said it as “we aren’t shooting tmax through spherical-ground lenses anymore.” it tracks that making good images on a high density digital sensor will require more glass, i guess also though, lens designers probably have been optimizing for the performance characteristics highlighted by test charts, for better or for worse, and working for mtf and corner aberrations are going to require a lot more glass in the barrel. HAIL eSATA-n posted:i've agreed to take pictures of a friend's wedding this is the way. i did two weddings for friends, might get talked into a third this year. i charged a fair rate so it wasn’t abusive toward either them or me, and i did it like i meant it. the work isn’t my favorite, but it is wild to see prints of my portraiture work in other people’s houses

Beeftweeter posted:looks cool indeed, but the perspective is loving with me a bit lol there was a barrier in the way so this was the only shot i could get without the barrier that appealed to me. i know it would have been better a bit more head on with the left casks or more in-between the rows of casks. so i was basically in the corner of the casks to get that shot. i didn't want to reach over the barrier to get a better angle. also this was during a tour so time was limited.

yeah it's understandable. sometimes just gotta go with what you got i like the second one also! the reflections give it sort of an ethereal aesthetic. keep it up

KidDynamite posted:i had the white balance set to incandescent.... i don't mind it but. for situations like this applying a photo filter is probably a better idea than just adjusting the white balance  that's a warming filter (81) at 50%. you can see that it's not perfect though, there is a slight green cast after applying it, shifting the tint and temperature works much better

On my iphone, there's an option for a lifetime subscription for $55. idk if that also is available on ipads (i dont even know if it's a separate purchase for iphone vs ipad). i know that the macos version can be bought as a one-and-done thing, too right now im wating for a sale on em e: oh wait, there isn't a macos version of pixelmator photo yet. it's just pixelmator pro computers are hard

nah it's just an awful naming convention i also have pixelmator on ipad, which has ceased being updated in favor of pixelmator pro (which i do not have), and they are both separate from pixelmator photo i got grandfathered into lifetime subs for both so i might be a bit biased, but pixelmator photo is really useful. pixelmator itself, not so much, especially if you already have creative clod

lol it was bothering me that was still slightly off (i guess) this is an orange filter at 35%  i think it looks better. the highlights don't seem like they were put through a warming filter now, at least. its also less magenta e: i used the original cyan-tinted one as a source for all of these btw Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Feb 9, 2023 |

There's a video posted on r/Analog and the objectification of women in photography that is worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqS1NNDgyoY I agree broadly with her points other than r/Analog being a valuable community

lol yikes its 27 minutes long i scrubbed through a bit and she made some decent points from what i could tell. i broadly agree that women are horribly objectified as a matter of course though. this isn't even an egregious one but it still bothers me (sorry echi): like, what is the point of this? it's not a great pose, it looks like a plant is growing out of her head. the contrast and color suck; it looks like when you try to look through glasses that are all smudged with fingerprints. she's in a bra, for fucks sake — why? and if it isn't intended to objectify, why not crop at the shoulders instead? i realize most people don't even think about this and just think "pretty lady = good photo", and, well, no. that's not even a good photo e: the more i look at it the more i find to dislike about it lol Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Feb 9, 2023 |

polyester concept posted:she also has background poo poo poking out of her head which is another big basic portrait no-no yeah i realized that some people might not pick up on that (re: pose) so i edited i mean, it's not even a sexy photo. i realize that it's counterintuitive to talk about objectification on one hand and also say "it's not even sexy" on the other, but it's true. if that were the intent i could at least see it working for that specific purpose but no, it's just all-around bad and flattening the contrast doesn't make it good. i'd go as far as saying it makes it actively worse even
