100% OFFICIAL THREAD yeah we have a pics thread for computer pics yeah we have a get outdoors thread that has photos in it yes we have also other threads but this thread right now? doesn't exist showcase your glorious snaps discuss your god forsaken hardware debate phone apps share tips for getting birds to pose for you RUELS: a) show off ya gear. I wanna see what yas got. b) you have to lay on the bokeh thick, like with a god drat butter knife c) if its your first post in the thread, you have to post a pic you took d) do what you can to share gear info with shared pics e) phone pics are legit pics so post em HEARTY RECOMMENDATION: https://postimages.org/ is definitely worth it. it might cost a few dollars (and free account is decent), but you get excellent hosting which doesn't decimate the quality of your pics, and the desktop app works real nice for easy/quick screen/region shots et cetera!

 canon eos r w/ canon EF 100mm f/2.8L the roses pull the hard yards here. it was a misty morning so they got some water of the gods on them. this lens isn't mine, I was renting it and will get it back again soon, I can't wait. also rental dude gave me an eos r to play around with for a while and I fell in love so I got one for myself on a pay a few dollars for a million months kind of thing BECAUSE I AM A GOD drat ADULT

I had been eyeing up the new sony mirrorless cameras because they are probably front of the pack, but it would have meant leaving canon behind and then I used the eos r, and just fell in love. literally, like the way a child loves it's blanket. it's not perfect, and so I have a whole list of justifications for buying it regardless. but I like it very much, I just want to take it everywhere. and I can see myself buying that lens too. it's only money what the hell mirrorless is the future time is in the future

Silver Alicorn posted:I cannot contribute but I fully support this thread. show me the best images and thickest longest lenses you got this is the lens I want to get. the one I used for the rose photo. I think it has a very satisfying girth and shape. some lens get thicker as they go along. some get thinner some maintain their meat all along their length. this provides the user with immense gratitude   when I have this back in my hand, believe me, I will take photos with it

 canon eos r w/ canon ef 100m f/1.8 stm cloud. love a good sky pic. images like this I start to feel conflicted, I've done some aggressive colour manipulation to make it more striking. for this, I may get called a clown. it'll hurt, and you'd think I'd be used to that pain by now but I am not. regardless. ps. ya know how I uploaded this? I pressed F7. thats a hot key for postimages to bring up a folder browser and upload the image and put the url in the clipboard. postimages open the folder at the last location you left it at, which is the default folder i have set up for exports from lightroom. I am not being paid by them

polyester concept posted:it's crazy how bad and smeared up phone pics look compared to a modern camera & lens when you pixel peep even my old 7d was like that though, it just had enough megapixels for it to not matter too much. the pic I took had a combo of decent sensor size (full frame) and very sharp glass, and good focus phones do incredible jobs tbh. I think the biggest downfall of a phone is that they're used up close and distort faces, but thats the users doing that not the phones. and obviously this is a subjective thing  I'll admit there is a part of me that doesn't want to celebrate the technological advances being made in the phone camera world. using multiple sensors and lenses and a bunch of magic to fake depth of field effects. I am really curious to find out what they'll be able to do.

I'd love the money to have a camera like that as a daily driver I was skeptical of mirrorless before I tried it, and wanted to try it to test out the electronic viewfinder, because thats how real photographers use a camera right? but I never thought id use the back screen as much as I do now

polyester concept posted:They also consistently provide feature upgrades to older camera models via firmware updates instead of forcing you to buy the latest model.  yeah it bugs me a bit that the newer models from mine have features which, at least to my poo poo for brains, seem software only I only shoot raw. I always have and haven't really challenged that workflow. spose it works for me. I do like how I can connect directly to my phone wirelessly and download pics, but it converts to jpeg at the time. I could probably challenge that workflow actually, seeing as now I can make sure I am properly exposed before I take the shot, and there aren't that many pics that i am afraid I'll leave data behind in the shadows or highlights IF it turns out that 3D LUT transforms in lightroom (profiles, not presets) work on the raw files, well then that is a case for me to use them though, because if that is the case I want them for the equivalent of saturating film and having it do something more interesting than clip. I have a weird obsession with profiles and colour transforms and kind of want to make my own, so as exposure increases (either thru pushing the exposure when taken OR later) it doesn't just push toward white but does something more interesting instead. lets see if thats possible lol

[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

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

MrQueasy posted:new lightroom... never even looked at this tbh. i’m kinda gutted that lightroom “classic” is probably considered by adobe to be on the list of things they’d like to kill off gutted the replaced split toning with colour grading, even if only cos their colour grading tools are lame (99% of colour grading is in the subtle end of the saturation range so everyone will be doing almost all their work in a slim bunch of slider pixels while most of those pixels remain unused, and in resolve they recognise this by making it so the mouse moves the sliders less than 1:1 but adobe ignore this) quote: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. is there where manual focus puts some fringe on what’s in focus? yeah that’s good. mine does that but not just in the eyepiece quote:

I am eager to watch your progress Sagebrush posted: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. just consistently jealous MrQueasy posted:Whoops, forgot to talk about what you said about your 7d!e iphone is cool, but it's starting too do too much between capture and writing to raw for my taste. 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

heh I found a waterfall, and used a tripod and remote to take this embarrassingw photo of myself. got wet to do this  and a photo with a 24mm that is actually ok. I have concluded I am incapable of a good picture with this lens UNLESS its just like landscape  also square crop - obv for instagram reasons, but I actually really love the end result. it the best. zombienietzsche posted:I'm in MFT land and planning on purchasing an Olympus E-M5 III over the E-M1 II soon solely because it looks amazing in silver. pics plz

for xmas i’ve gotten my son a 550d it was $250 and it’s come with a tripod and that 18-something lens which is poo poo but he can borrow some of mine what I love about this day and age is the low barrier of entry. like bloody says, can still take a great photo. biggest bummer is the lack of low light ability but still, he’s only 12, he’s so fortunate to have this kind of thing to play with yps: at a beautiful cottage with gf for weekend but I have zero ability to take interesting photos lol. i would love a decent photographer to show me their workflow because it depresses me a bit how I can’t do something with this as beautiful as it is 😒 i need to think, how can I somehow put the viewer there and make them feel idk something

I really like video with my camera. tripods are the way to go, shake is horrible and still can show off how nice it is to film with a nice lens. honestly it’s such a treat using such nice lenses on the 7d it was pretty good. was it 1080p? can’t remember. it was only 30/25 fps and there was basically no focus once you’d started filming but if the camera was still the results were pretty nice for something from 2009 this eos r is next level of course lots of frame rate options. autofocus including face tracking is a game changer, and canon log as well at the risk of telling everyone something they already know, canon log or any log video for that matter is the video equivalent of raw, because each frame has the 0-255 limit (or more with higher nitrates) in order to squeeze a higher dynamic range in it changes the response curve so you end up with a low contrast image that captures more overall data (well higher range) and then you can transform that in video program so you can make the most of the bigger dynamic range anyway I have some intentions of setting myself up to video myself doing some music stuff so I want to make the most of it and make it as great as i can
