Idk but velvia is still on JP amazon, same for superia

[verbal laurel]

so we frozen a film is pretty much "no expire"

[feral vector]

however, once film gets more than 5ish years past expiry, you do have to compensate when shooting, and you can expect quality to decrease

[ember plaza]

33C and 90% RH here 🥲 trying my best to conserve my rolls

[feral vector]

i.e., a 20yo film won't perform the same as a newly manufactured film

[feral vector]

it will be fine till you get it back home
although humidity is rough

[feral vector]

i'd expect it to still have some supply chain circulation for a while
But prices have gone up for velvia and true superia isn't cheap either

[verbal laurel]

sad

[ember plaza]

These were 2 other shops, plenty of Fuji stuff

[feral vector]

there was some of the kodak manufactured "fuji color 400" that was shipping on listings for superia and maybe even in superia packaging for a little while but I believe that was all fixed up

[paper bear]

Wow thats some old stuff

[ember plaza]

No ?

[paper bear]

So old new stock?

[feral vector]

I'm sure if anyone finds 2026+ expiry they will post it on reddit

[feral vector]

in this case, "old new stock" can mean stuff manufactured last year

[ember plaza]

[verbal laurel]

This reminds my early childhood

[feral vector]

so they are producing again?

[verbal laurel]

Thanks stuff evolves

[ember plaza]

TLDr, Fuji is just not very clear about it

[verbal laurel]

Cause film too much $

[ember plaza]

One thing for sure is that they aren’t exporting a whole lot

[ember plaza]

Oh it’s still like 15$ a roll here

[feral vector]

and fuji color 200/400 is kodak

[verbal laurel]

I can imagine something

[ember plaza]

Velvia 20$

[verbal laurel]

Carter being held at costumes cause we decided to bring 5 kilos of film from Japan

[feral vector]

it is cheaper here for the most part

and I have no taxes locally

[verbal laurel]

Oh

[paper bear]

Damn, i just see the design looks old ig

[verbal laurel]

Auch

[feral vector]

velvia/provia/superia isn't cheap here tho

[feral vector]

they haven't changed the box branding in a while lol

[ember plaza]

You can still find velvia in the US ?

[feral vector]

some shops get it in once in a while

i assume they import it themselves in small quantities

[verbal laurel]

So much resident evil save equip

Why you guys don't import

If is so nice film ?

[feral vector]

fuji just started doing some packaging in china
although I believe that is for sale in the chinese domestic market

[ember plaza]

Oh I don’t live in Japan lol, I’m just visiting

[verbal laurel]

I know

[ember plaza]

She bought some 2026 rolls

[verbal laurel]

I say why you guys don't import

So you could always have that film

[verbal laurel]

Have a nice trip by the way

[feral vector]

then there's hope

[verbal laurel]

Like I think there must be a website or someone willing to sell overseas

[feral vector]

unfortunately most of fuji's capacity is still for instant film these days

would love to see some proper competition for kodak to keep pricing in check

[jagged lake]

I don’t

[paper bear]

I think selling photos kinda died a long time ago

[verbal laurel]

F

[feral vector]

selling photos on their own? pretty much dead
There does exist a small segment for selling physical prints (prints, photobooks, calendars, etc); but nobody is buying digital photos from someone else

*exception is hiring a photographer

[paper bear]

well yeah

people still make money by printing out other peoples photos

but pretty ded

[feral vector]

it is small

[ember plaza]

Tfym

Prints are not dead at all lmfao, people still need to put things on their walls man, digital age didn’t change that

[paper bear]

its nearly dead

[ember plaza]

No ? Do you sell prints ?

I sell prints and I can tell you it’s not anywhere close to dead, because why would it be

[jagged lake]

@icy river you warned me not to take that free camera…

[fleet fractal]

Free camera

[jagged lake]

The Minolta

[fleet fractal]

I would take it

[jagged lake]

I did

It cost me…. $2600?

[fleet fractal]

That ain’t free

[jagged lake]

lol NOPE

camera and two lenses were but it made me realize I LOVE photography

[fleet fractal]

I ain’t that rich for that much stuff

[feral vector]

Damn that R50 system is compact

[fleet fractal]

I would love a camera like this. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNrXXcvm/

Like 50 shots a seconds

And cat pictures

[feral vector]

Ah, sports cameras are incredible

[jagged lake]

So compact!

Smaller than my SLR!

DSLRs are huge!

[feral vector]

Yes 🥲

[jagged lake]

Why so huge

SLR be tiny

Imagine APSC SLR lol

[feral vector]

Less huge

[feral vector]

Mirrors and batteries take up space

[fleet fractal]

Old Nikon

D60

[jagged lake]

Fair point

But mirror isn’t in the way in SLR

Nikon has an ENORMOUS one but I think that’s by design

[jagged lake]

Larger

[feral vector]

Huhhhh?

Mirror is in SLR

Older SLRs are smaller just cause there isn't as much

[jagged lake]

Yeah but SLR is so much smaller

Even mine from 1984

[feral vector]

My rebel SLR is compact

My EOS 3 SLR is chonker

[jagged lake]

Hmm ok

[feral vector]

Both 35mm, electronic

But the bigger one has more physical controls, larger battery, etc

Same with my DSLR

Lots of controls, a screen

[jagged lake]

I CAN TAKE SO MANY TEST AND USELESS PICTURES NOW

film still very cool and fun

[jagged lake]

true

[feral vector]

Tis why I wanted a digital lmao

[jagged lake]

Yyyyup

Cost per shot going down

First pic costs $1600

Second makes both $800

Etc

Haha

Justification

[jagged lake]

lol microsd filled VERY quickly

realized only 8gb/128gb was formatted

skill issue

(it was like that because 3d printer)

fat32 whatever

ALSO- md to RF and some MD rear-lens/body caps are on the way

needed a few spare caps

one for body, body + rear for teleconverter, rear spare for 28mm

[feral vector]

Get a 256gb full size SD smh

[jagged lake]

I willlll

dont worryyyyyy

but also

why?

oh

that might be why

[deft garden]

Wow that’s dreadful.

My CFexpress card imports about 10-15 gigs in a minute or so. It’s blazing fast but that card sure does get toasty.

[feral vector]

Good quality UHS-1 SD card + USB 3 card reader

[jagged lake]

Yeah only 6GBs or so took 10 minutes

[deft garden]

I filled my 165 gb card and it took maybe 3 minutes to dump all of them into my external.

I was sad when I filled my card. I was at Holi festival.

[deft garden]

Not sure if I need another 165gb or go to the next size up for 380 usd.

Woah. I’m purple now?

[feral vector]

Still look blue to me

[deft garden]

Not that it matters anymore anyway.

But the purple do look nice over the blue.

Guess I could have also looked at my roles. 😂 pirate is in there.

[elder ingot]

Hey you finally reached pirate

[deft garden]

Yeah. I ranked super fast during 2020/21 then 22-24 really slowed down on chatting here. Moved home and people I used to chat with a lot left.

[verbal laurel]

Nothing is free, even the free camera

[verbal laurel]

Welcome to rabbit hole of technology, fun enought i think much of us comes from the "exact areas" ( like software developer )

And we all like photograph and expensive ned stuff

[verbal laurel]

I like it

[verbal laurel]

Congrats

And it's written , free buffet with barbecue ( not that much of it ) only for 32 reals ( with dolar at 1 to 5 reals [ is more almost reaching 5.60 ], so 6-7 USA dollars )

[fleet fractal]

That’s pretty cheap for a buffet if you live in the us

[tall ember]

I need some film 😂

[verbal laurel]

I don't

But for 60 -80 reals ( again 10-20 dollars) you can get a nice buffet with a big barbecue

And that is why I want to remote work for US

[verbal laurel]

Or go digital 👀

[tall ember]

I have an EOS-M as well, thinking of upgrading my but it'll be a pain lens wise

[verbal laurel]

Nice

https://tenor.com/view/airport-gif-6098438

My lens delivered only will happen with Monday

With luck

;-;

[feral vector]

Oof

The dead end platform

My condolences

[tall ember]

Yeah, realistically I only have two lenses and a pair of adaptors using the M mount so I could sell those on with the camera and get something else

[verbal laurel]

Come to the nikon Z side of force

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1210624768466747442.gif?size=96&quality=lossless

[deft garden]

Only worth it if he gets a newer z though. Z6iii, z8 or z9.

[verbal laurel]

Come one

Z5 is a nice camera

Old

Yes

Auto focus ? Good enough if you have patience

Price?

Nice one

100mbps WiFi NAS ingestion

Guess I’ll use the desktop next time

That way it’ll do transfers up to 10x faster

Wish my NAS had 2.5gb

But it only has 1gbe

[deft garden]

I still need to build my NAS. I have most of the parts, just need a good case with 5" bays and some more sata cables.

though some would argue an i7 9700k is OC for a nas. Its what I have spare. 😂

[verbal laurel]

Nah

If you have it around

Better than just in the closet

I transfer using the usb C from the nikon z5

Curious using the nikon transfer, it goes faster than usb on my phone

Probably the cable

[verbal laurel]

Don't forget to delid that proc ( don't remember if the 9 gen is solder)

[deft garden]

Nah, no need for a nas. I already pay too much for electricity. Its going to just be for photos anyway. Running out of external drives rather rapidly.

[verbal laurel]

I need to ask Duk or Chanz for the world file.

[elder ingot]

Yo @feral vector what Canon camera do you recommend for me to start with to get into photography?

[deft garden]

The rebels are super accessible but not great. Depends on how much effort you want to put into photos. If you plan to just leave it in auto and don’t edit, any will do. If you want to learn the mechanics, edit etc, I’d suggest a low end mirrorless. Easier to learn on. Should be plenty in second hand to get one for a better price.

[elder ingot]

I tend to just leave pictures alone and don't edit them, but I wouldn't mind learning the camera and learning how to edit pictures

[deft garden]

Don’t go DLSR then honestly. Having to deal with a mirror and some guess work on how your photo will look probably won’t be for you. Mirrorless will be closer to how your phone works minus the deep processing the phone does. It’ll give decent JPEGs but you can def make the raws look way better with some time and effort. Plenty of free editing tools to use.

[jagged lake]

Did I really pick the hardest (major) type of camera to learn on and start out with

lol

(SLR)

[feral vector]

@elder ingot I second what CK said. If you don't wanna edit, I would advise looking for a mirrorless solution, maybe even a mirrorless point and shoot style camera

I know fuji has some popular models that turn out excellent jpegs, ricoh has a few too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q7ctbEG2Ew
This is not an exhaustive review, but it gives you an idea of what is out there

[elder ingot]

I found this on MBP

[feral vector]

naw m8

Full frame lenses = big, heavy, and expensive

also the 6D is pretty old

Canon R50 isn't a bad starting point tbh

[elder ingot]

Exactly the same thing I was thinking

How much are they on MBP

[feral vector]

but I might advise learning some basic editing for that camera and shooting raw

[feral vector]

not enough of a discount to be worth it tbh

a body + lens kit isn't too much more

Of course, canon RF-S lens ecosystem is rather limited at the moment

[elder ingot]

Something like this?
https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/eos-r50-rf-s18-45mm-f4-5-6-3-is-stm-lens-kit?color=Black&type=New

$700 for it, without tax

[feral vector]

yep

Keep in mind kit lens is gonna be wideish

[elder ingot]

That lens has a pretty short focal length though

[feral vector]

I.e., no birding with that lens

well its multiplied on a crop sensor

[elder ingot]

But should be good enough to get my foot in the door with it

[feral vector]

so its like 28-70mm equivalent

[elder ingot]

I wanna eventually get a decent enough telephoto so I can take actual real moon pictures, without AI doing stuff in the background

[feral vector]

Do some research on it

But R50 isn't a bad starting point

And I like it over the sony crop bodies, although E-mount has the lens advantage with robust native 3rd party support

[elder ingot]

Which is what that camera has?

[feral vector]

Sony = E-mount

[elder ingot]

Ah

[feral vector]

Canon (R line) = RF/RF-S mount

[elder ingot]

I'd need adapters if I want to use third party mounts on the R50

[feral vector]

RF-S is the crop line

[feral vector]

What you would do is get an EF-RF adapter so you can use old DSLR lenses

they will be bigger and heavier, but there are a ton of EF mount lenses

[elder ingot]

I'll look into it some more

[deft garden]

For moon you need a really long lens. This is 600mm cropped from 45 mp to 24 mp.

[elder ingot]

Google (and my phone) says this is 18.60mm focal length with the standard 12mp camera my phone has

f3/4 and 1/60 shutter speed with ISO25

[deft garden]

Well as you see, can’t compare phone with camera. Because 18mm would be in the ultra wide range on a full size sensor.

[elder ingot]

It's a regular wide angle lens as the main sensor

[feral vector]

which sensor

[elder ingot]

100X zoom. Not sure what sensor exactly

[feral vector]

So the 10x

[elder ingot]

Yeah

[feral vector]

Depending how small that sensor is, the 35mm FF equivalent focal length could be like 200mm

Or more

[elder ingot]

Samsung gallery says 115mm

[feral vector]

god bless GSMArena

ohh

S24 ultra?

[elder ingot]

Yeah

[feral vector]

seems about right

[elder ingot]

So if I wanna recreate the 100x zoom on a standard camera I'll need a lens that size?

[feral vector]

sort of

if you were to take a picture at the normal 5x of that lens, thats what the equivalent would be

using the 100x zoom is harder to find the actual equivalent since its a mixture of periscope lens sensor + main sensor and some digital cropping

[deft garden]

So much math that goes into sensor sizes. Canon crop sensor smaller than Nikons so they have a 1.6x crop factor. Sensor size to sensor size you could probably figure out the math but like Carter said, with digital crop and everything else the phone just does no real equivalent.

[feral vector]

yeah canon aps-c is slightly smaller but tbh its close enough not to provide a real world difference

[deft garden]

If anything, better night time iso noise control.

[jagged lake]

Because I spent $1650 on a camera

That’s how

And I don’t get paid for a week

I have like $70 till then

[verbal laurel]

Dangerous move

[jagged lake]

yeah I know

[deft garden]

70s a lot. That’s easily 140 meals (top ramen)🍜

[limber tartan]

Almost as bad as Taco

[jagged lake]

yeah

[jagged lake]

being a basement gremlin seriously helps LOL

[limber tartan]

At least its still a positive number though ngl lmfao

[jagged lake]

Yeah I don’t want debt

[limber tartan]

Unlike someone else who lets theirs go into negatives lmfao

[jagged lake]

;-;

I have overdraft turned off or whatever

It can’t go below 0

[limber tartan]

Gooood :3

[jagged lake]

And I want it to stay that way

[limber tartan]

Being a basement gremlin does help though

[deft garden]

My wife yells at me when I don’t know what much something costs or how much we have in our bank is how comfortable I am with my finances. And as a kid who grew up poor as shit, it’s really really nice. I hope everyone gets to experience that.

[deft garden]

Also, not a bad view on the drive home from work.

[feral vector]

That's a few lens filters!

[elder ingot]

Actually I have $350 in my bank account

[feral vector]

I don't have enough in my checking account

(I moved everything to a HYSA 🤑)

[elder ingot]

Flower with a bee and two butterflies on it

[deft garden]

4k checking, 5k HYSA (new one for me so not much) 3k main bank savings. 10k secondary bank savings. 😬 that’s just mine and not what my wife ferrets away from me so I don’t spend it all.

[jagged lake]

Niiiice

Well done

I’m not a complete idiot I have around 1500 saved

not touching that

[feral vector]

I fully funded my Roth IRA last month so that was painful

[deft garden]

That is a lot to throw in at once. I put in through the year. My agency matches first 5% I do traditional and Roth.

[feral vector]

I don't get any matching with my contracting agency :(

[deft garden]

That’s brutal.

I’m allowed to do 23,500 a year into mine.

[feral vector]

One of the many reasons I want to go FTE asap

[feral vector]

I'm contributing 25% of each paycheck at the moment to 401k

[deft garden]

I’m gov so we do TSP.

[feral vector]

Playing a little bit of catchup

Yes, acronyms

[verbal laurel]

hi

[verbal laurel]

XD

[verbal laurel]

im think how im going to use the camera, to make money to compensate for the camera XD

[verbal laurel]

u should write a book

[deft garden]

They have sites you can sell photos to and they make towels or shower curtains etc using your photos and you make money.

[verbal laurel]

Towels ?

sounds fun have a towels of a birb

XD

[verbal laurel]

but i will search more

[deft garden]

It’s pretty cool. You basically sell your image and people can buy whatever they want with your image on it. They print and ship and you make money.

[jagged lake]

Yesssss it’s herreeeee

[jagged lake]

300mm f/5.6 tele -> 2x teleconverter -> MD to RF adapter -> R50

How much light do you want to lose?

Yes.

Lightbulb at the top of the stairs

[fleet fractal]

longgggggggggggggggggg

[jagged lake]

Yes

960mm focal length too

Not even the max this platform can do though hahaha

Not even close

There’s an 800mm minolta lens you can get

That would get me equivalent to 2560mm focal

[elder ingot]

Funny thing, even Carter recommended me the R50

[jagged lake]

Yeah I saw

Great camera btw

I just don’t think it fits your price range

But if it does

Go for it

[feral vector]

I heard you like adapters so I put an adapter on your adapter

[jagged lake]

I should get a T to MD and put on the 400mm

[jagged lake]

Who could have imagined that a 960mm full manual lens with no stabilization would be hard to shoot handheld

[elder ingot]

I'll make it work

It'll be a while

[deft garden]

The R10 isn’t that much more expensive over the r50. Why r50 over the r10?

[elder ingot]

Because Carter recommended it

[deft garden]

I was asking Carter. 😂

[elder ingot]

It's also $700

[deft garden]

Looks similar to the r50 just full frame.

Less AF points but not a huge deal.

[jagged lake]

YOURE MAKING ME QUESTION

PLEASE HUSH SO I DONT REMAIN BROKE FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE

oh it’s $300 more

that’s a lot more what you mean

51.8% more

[deft garden]

On the website with the sales, body for body, the difference looked negligible but I left the site.

Oh I guess it is 300 more. Nvm.

[verbal laurel]

nice

just hope my photos dont get in something weird

did you guys thought some time about build your own lens?

and they say the z5 cant shoots birds

ok, probably not so fast birds ....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrRY6Stv2UI&ab_channel=KenRockwell @deft garden UHHMMMMM

250 dolars for a 85 AF on Z mount

sounds good

[verbal laurel]

but on the MP side, i would love to have more, to crop without losing to much.... (50 mm 1.8, really nice lens)

the problem when photograph whites in the middle day hard light

is that you need to use low iso and really fast shutter speed

other whise the bird will just look like a lanter

well

i guess that is not really a down side, since much speed = much details

[feral vector]

R50 is decently cheaper and a good beginner camera

[feral vector]

R10 is APSC?

[verbal laurel]

https://youtu.be/6gq4znatTnU?si=_F9YvbTxcy1vtPvG

These Chinese lens are really looking nice

I would love to have some metal lens ( probably not good for umidity weather )

[deft garden]

Huh. You’re right. The comparison chart is misleading.

[feral vector]

Ken Rockwell is goated
Didn't know he did YouTube

[limber tartan]

For now

[deft garden]

Everyone makes fun of him in photo discord.

He’s very geeky and dated.

[verbal laurel]

only see vantages

those youngsters

[feral vector]

To be fair, he has been reviewing cameras and lenses for decades?

his website is delightfully old

[narrow pollen]

Imagine making fun of someone for being geeky. Absolutely mental.

[deft garden]

Yeah it’s huge. Boomers love to comment how big it is.

[feral vector]

Hey now
I'm not that old yet

[deft garden]

😂😂 more so meant in the wild. Even the 70-200mm size I’ll get “woah everyone stand back Nat geo is here” 🙄 “woah that’s a huge lens” turns to wife “he compensating?”

[verbal laurel]

Made my z5 full frame looks like a apsc camera

[jagged lake]

Hahahaha

This makes me want to go out with my 400mm on the converter on the adapter

Probably about 18” total

Haven’t tried it yet

I managed to break the aperture blades in it

Not a huge deal, already got refunded for it bc it didn’t work to begin with

thx eBay

hey @deft garden what tipe of strap you use on yours z8 + 180 ?

i used the ones that came with camera ( conected using the camera)

[jagged lake]

Nah I just said 70 bc lazy

[verbal laurel]

but too short

[verbal laurel]

oh, make sense

[verbal laurel]

and i felt i almost broke the z5

since decided to only hold the camera body, muscle memory, since the 50 is so light

but cant do that with 2.5 kilos of glass now

[paper bear]

Bigger

[verbal laurel]

so we are all competing now to see who has the bigger

i see

time to get some tele converters ....

[paper bear]

Lol

I gotta find a bigger lens

Itll be in a box somewhere

[verbal laurel]

hehehe

hey someone also uses viewbug

?

[paper bear]

Who

[feral vector]

No

We have a mirror lens and it is shit

[jagged lake]

Whyyyy

[feral vector]

It is not very sharp

Even compared to old film lenses

[jagged lake]

Oh ok

[feral vector]

I'd use it for film scanning so it would be looking into a light box

[feral vector]

Give them the address for the US white house

[verbal laurel]

XD

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[paper bear]

Ohhh thats smart use of a macro

[verbal laurel]

the 180

is amazing

even at 6.3

horrible ligh

i still could get amazing resolts with a entry level camera like the z5

nikon, goood job

on the Z line

[deft garden]

I only use peak design capture clip. The strap confines me too much especially with a back pack on.

[verbal laurel]

make sense

well, i think i will stay with the strap for now

maybe build my own

the strap on Z cameras, are good, but now excellent, especially in hot days. but i would love to change my lens bag for a bigger strap any time

since that bag really dont use

[deft garden]

I do have a peak design strap as well and it’s much better than the z strap.

Just don’t know if you have access to peak design down there.

[verbal laurel]

not impossible

but that means probably expensive

[deft garden]

They're 70 USD already for the full sized leash.

[verbal laurel]

uhmmm

yeap

will be really expensive to me

time to find more cheaper options

[feral vector]

yeah my roommate has an a7IV with a 90mm(?) macro we use for scanning currently
but I wanna get my own macro lens for my 5dmk4 still

[feral vector]

its so expensive but so worth it

I do need to get the capture clip at some point

but having the strap around my neck is reassuring with how heavy my setup is

[deft garden]

Oh 100% I love all but one of my PD gear and that’s the pro pad. The pro pad failed at the stitching.

[deft garden]

Capture clip holds up to 200 pounds. It’s a solid set up. Clips to bags, your belt etc. I love the clips. Slip it off to take my photo and lock it in place to walk and rest my hand.

[feral vector]

https://www.peakdesign.com/products/cuff
this could be handy

cause often i just want the insurance against a possible drop

[verbal laurel]

i really like that

but i honestly dont trust much that little clip

scares the shit out me

i would love something more robust, like this

easy to put

really more secure

really impressive lens

So. Enjoying the lens?

You a strong man yet lifting that thing?

[jagged lake]

Oh nooooo

so no much time using it

[verbal laurel]

who needs Gym, when have lens right ?

i just need to workout my core, since i tent to let the belly loose when carry heavy stuff and that is really not good.

and congrats @feral vector at your 1 year in the job !

[paper bear]

Bicep curling lenses

[verbal laurel]

Pretty much

Tried to photograph with it from the passager seat

While the car is running

Sometimes I got so stupid ideias, worked more less

But now I'm out of breath

XD

[verbal laurel]

6k steps

Holding the z5 with 180-600

With a pack pack ( with the 50 mm in )

Does that counts as a workout ?

The zoom is ridiculous @deft garden

Ultra max zoom

With the digital from the camera at 600

Just watching a pigeon

[verbal laurel]

Wait didn't you hand held it ?

[jagged lake]

What about this

[deft garden]

I do hand hold it. But my wrist is jacked so between shooting sessions or when I walk I capture clip it.

[jagged lake]

Is this a decent SD speed?

I hardly use SD aside from this so I wouldn't know

Seems I won't need another card though, 128GB seems fine, even with RAW+L.

dangit I pressed copy not move

also figured out my NAS issue

its connected to a passive switch with 4 other devices

1gbps max

[verbal laurel]

F

Mine is good for now, I hope coding don't destroy it

[verbal laurel]

For me it is

[jagged lake]

Alright as long as it’s not abysmal

[feral vector]

Ty

[feral vector]

This sounds more interesting but what the heck is 91:8 is that the f stop???

[feral vector]

Good question

I need to monitor my sd card speed next time since Lightroom doesn't tell me while importing

[feral vector]

The mirror lens (other one) will be lighter and easier to handle but photos are very soft

Oh I think it's supposed to be f8 and the poster just can't type

[verbal laurel]

if dont work for photos i bet you can build a cannon with

[jagged lake]

lol 91:8 I didn’t notice that

Yeah its f/8

[verbal laurel]

im tired as fuck

[jagged lake]

mood

[verbal laurel]

10.346 steps

caring the z5 with the 180-600

• sometimes a tripod

[deft garden]

On SD cards you’ll see v30 V60 or V90. V90 is the fastest but also most expensive. V30 will have the slowest read write speeds.

[jagged lake]

Alrighty thx

[deft garden]

For most, v30 is fine. For wedding or sports or wildlife, v90.

[verbal laurel]

yes

is a duck

on a tree branch

How it got there ?

i have no idea

detail, 2 meters above ground

[tawdry forum]

looks nice either way

[verbal laurel]

yeap

[verbal laurel]

@deft garden

a

@wise patrol BIRBS

[tawdry forum]

birb

wait im a chipmunk

do birbs like chipmunks

[verbal laurel]

no idea

[feral vector]

Pretty sure for @jagged lake the v30/UHS-1 spec is fine for his camera

[narrow pollen]

What is that bird?

[feral vector]

Especially since I think V60 and above is UHS2

And R50 only supports UHS1

[feral vector]

It's a skinny leg, round body bird

[narrow pollen]

Well, you are not wrong.

[verbal laurel]

i have no idea

too

is a Jaçanã

according to google (thanks google)

navite from South America

and the female is bigger than the male

and guess what

acoording to wikipedia

she forms harems

https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaçanã

this

HE KNEW

about the camera

aaaaaaaa

so cute

[feral vector]

This is a green bird

[verbal laurel]

yes

with yellow

[feral vector]

And green and yellow bird

Impressive

[verbal laurel]

thanks

[verbal laurel]

yeap

[elder ingot]

Galaxy AI is amazing

[verbal laurel]

probably

i prefer Carter IA

[elder ingot]

Hold the home button, circle what you want to search and it'll spit out something

[verbal laurel]

Close

just another type of bird

[elder ingot]

Black crowned night heron

[verbal laurel]

yeap

[elder ingot]

Thanks Google

[verbal laurel]

XD

[elder ingot]

Is this a game of find the bird?

[verbal laurel]

nah

just showing the power of the lens

that colors is because of a fog

[low fox]

Like the effect of the fog

[verbal laurel]

thanks jib

[low fox]

Cool mangrooves!

[verbal laurel]

South america is having a cold wave

thanks !

dont know is they are mangrooves

but some of they are mangos

[low fox]

😂 what? Mangoes in such soil conditions? No way

[verbal laurel]

yeap

[low fox]

South America has a large mangrove system

[verbal laurel]

i does

but in that area

someone planted mangos

not so much far from the river

like 3-4 meters

so that is why im guessing some os they are mangos

time to @elder ingot IA

[elder ingot]

Nothing

[verbal laurel]

f

[elder ingot]

It's also AI

Not Intelligence Artificial

[verbal laurel]

portuguese is IA

[verbal laurel]

looks like a Trichilia dregeana

[low fox]

Interesting roots, didn't know that the Mahagony trees look like that

[verbal laurel]

idk if the roots are from that species

but google IA dind't found any for the roots

[elder ingot]

Portugeese

[verbal laurel]

xd

[elder ingot]

I can't help but think that every time I see Portuguese

[verbal laurel]

look this guy

[elder ingot]

Egret

[verbal laurel]

it looks like is going to fight u

sometimes i think the animals just pose

[elder ingot]

Google says that's a duck

[verbal laurel]

no crow

got it blinking

someone is mad

[elder ingot]

:CaciqueOfJudgement:

[verbal laurel]

hahah

poing

aaaaaaaaa

i just took to many photos

lucky is not film

[deft garden]

Agreed. Just explaining it to him in case he chooses one day he wants more.

[jagged lake]

And with my discount I might get a UHS3 for price of UHS1

[feral vector]

But why

Your camera only supports UHS1

[jagged lake]

future idk funsies

cheap either way

$20? Around there

[feral vector]

I guess as long as it runs at UHS-1 speeds

I was doing some research for my camera and some forums claimed UHS2 cards might perform worse than UHS-1 cards

[jagged lake]

Weird

[feral vector]

✨ compatibility ✨

HDR test jpg straight out of the 5D

[jagged lake]

I figured a UHS1 advertised card might not hit max UHS1 speeds, but a UHS2-3 will

[jagged lake]

Very nice!

No edits?!

[feral vector]

Ah
So I'm guessing a uhs 2 card might only run at half duplex in a uhs 1 slot

However, you wouldn't be losing that much speed

So my guess is worst case you lose a little bit of bandwidth

[feral vector]

No but I did export from Lightroom with HDR enabled

[jagged lake]

This just confuses me more

[feral vector]

Wait hold the fuck

Discord supports HDR embed now?

[feral vector]

@molten coyote discord supports HDR now???

[jagged lake]

The compression kills it tho

So many bands

[feral vector]

Ffs

[feral vector]

I am trying to export avif but it is slow

[jagged lake]

Fair

[molten coyote]

Eh?

[feral vector]

I don't think in chat embeds do, but if I open an hdr image in gallery view on an hdr capable device (phone), it loads the hdr version of my jpg

[molten coyote]

hm

@feral vectorDiscord supports HDR Streaming(Experimental)

[feral vector]

Whaaaaat

[feral vector]

Let me know if these look any better

[molten coyote]

Requires to enable experiments on discord

files are shown as avif

so no embed shown

[feral vector]

Yeah I didn't expect them to embed

Avif has an HDR enable on export in Lightroom

[molten coyote]

this is just one of ur photos

[feral vector]

This is all I have

[jagged lake]

Looks a whole lot better

Thx

[molten coyote]

HDR Streaming is a code based enable on Desktop using the console(I wouldn't do it)

[feral vector]

What's your display

[molten coyote]

MPG 321 URX QD OLED

[jagged lake]

271qrx or 321urx

[molten coyote]

HDR always on

[jagged lake]

ah 32

[molten coyote]

27 = 1440p

32 = 4k

[jagged lake]

Wonder if I should try my iMac for viewing photos on OLED monitor because subpixels

[feral vector]

Would does your screenshot look cooked

[molten coyote]

Windows

[jagged lake]

Windows hdr

[feral vector]

Oh

[jagged lake]

bork

[feral vector]

So I tried default HDR and vivid HDR on on the 5D

I think that one was vivid

I don't think I'll use the HDR shooting very often

But I was curious to see how it turns out

[molten coyote]

idk how to take HDR screenshots on windows

[feral vector]

Producing jpg sucks tho

[feral vector]

Uhhh that might not be possible tbh

[molten coyote]

[feral vector]

Is this how it looks in person on your display

[molten coyote]

that's what it look slike using Auto

on the edit thingy

it makes it so wack

[feral vector]

Oh are you editing it

[molten coyote]

yea

[feral vector]

It's lossy so get wrekt

[molten coyote]

This is what it looks more like with the annoying ass screenshot problem

[jagged lake]

I should probably get LR

Feed the Adobemonster

[jagged lake]

Btw this is what I currently use

discord crashing when I try to upload

Thanks, dev beta

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6540993.p?skuId=6540993

there

[feral vector]

This is the way

[jagged lake]

Aaa

Do I do just LR or the photo package

[feral vector]

Do you want left 256gb or right 256gb

[jagged lake]

LOL

[feral vector]

Have you tried dark table yet

[jagged lake]

No

iPhone editor 💀

[feral vector]

It's a free app on Windows

I say give it a shot before integrating yourself into the Adobe ecosystem

[jagged lake]

Alright then I shall

[feral vector]

I currently use just Lightroom cc + 1tb but I shall go back to full photography plan when it comes time to renew later this year

Mostly so I can do negative conversions with Lightroom classic

[jagged lake]

Cloud storage means nothing to me tbh. I have SO MUCH physical storage

[feral vector]

I don't have much interest in Photoshop

It's a shame you can't buy Lightroom classic standalone

[jagged lake]

You can’t?!

[jagged lake]

I don’t have interest, was wondering if it was necessary

[feral vector]

Photoshop is not

Lightroom does all the basic edits and healing you'll need

[jagged lake]

ok this fun

[jagged lake]

How's this @feral vector

be kind pls my first darktable edit

lol

....wait

I just made it look like Kodak Gold

lol again

[elder ingot]

DEER

[jagged lake]

help I figured out how to put faces on trees

SCARED ME

[elder ingot]

What

[jagged lake]

you heard me

he can smell you

[jagged lake]

took a picture of a pole just to see how far my lens went... only now am I realizing there was a bluebird on top of it.

I LOVE bluebirds

shame

squirrel

[jagged lake]

IT IS 2:30

whoops

[feral vector]

Lmao

I have to adjust my sleep schedule tonight for work tomorrow 😞

[jagged lake]

(dont zoom in on the dude I poorly retouched a phone holster away to make the photo look older)

[narrow pollen]

That is one sweet ride.

Classic Porsches look beautiful, wish I could own one one day.

[elder ingot]

I have one of those for my phone

[narrow pollen]

The SONY ZV-E10 Mark 2 was just announced. 300€ price bump over the original, improvements: new bigger battery, 10-bit colour and support for 4k60 (but early reviews show rapid overheating within half an hour). I am feeling better about my decision to go with the original.

Where are all the buttons 😭

[narrow pollen]

On the touchscreen. I mainly use the main wheel control on the right of the screen (no viewfinder!), it is slightly slower than having all the physical buttons and dials, but I would not use a lot of the buttons anyway. Plus, I have remapped some custom buttons already as the auto-modes for background blur don't interest me that much. I can do that manually and better.

[feral vector]

I prefer what you get from the proper video cameras, but this is also about 3x the original ZV-E10

And by proper I mean it has a fan

[narrow pollen]

Yeah size was a major factor for me. I can actually put mine in my jacket pocket!

[feral vector]

No overheating 😎

[narrow pollen]

Overheating is why I avoided the 6100, 6400, 6700. Opening the display will keep the E10 in check with recording, but it is not enough for the E10 Mark 2 when filming at the top quality according to reviewers. Hence, not much of an upgrade. Though 10-bit colour would be neat.

[jagged lake]

Wait is that all there is

Very glad I completely ignored Sony

I do precisely 0 actual video

A little bit of messing around but that doesn’t count bc there’s no plot or subject even

Just seeing what my camera can do

[narrow pollen]

The settings are all there, but you have to navigate some quick menus for them. Definitely a downside if you want to shoot quickly.

[feral vector]

Yes. I quite dislike the controls and ergonomics of Sony crop bodies

It is a little more forgivable on the video focused models, but it still isn't great

My whole household hates using the a6400

[narrow pollen]

I do dislike the camera button being so far at the front. I keep mispressing it.

[jagged lake]

Ew

[jagged lake]

They all seem video focused with bad controls

generic VloggerCam3000

[feral vector]

Well the Z & FX lines are video focused

The a6XXX line isn't "video focused", per se, but are generally pretty capable for video.

At least the most recent models

[jagged lake]

scanned this one myself

it looks alright

I like that I have more control

but man scanning with a 100-400 and a horrible tripod and no film holder is hard

heres the lab scanned version

hm

whole lot grainier, and a whole lot more contrast

wow they cut off a ton of detail

also they overcropped it

I need to invest in a proper setup for this

and a macro lens

lab vs me

more detail, less grain, less blown out, but also a lot darker..

[tawdry forum]

both have their own style tho ngl

I like your more because it does look older

[jagged lake]

slightly edited my scan
