Lead rotates as you write, so it's always sharp

[winged raptor]

Yo that's wild

[cedar dragon]

The first one came out like 10 years ago, but they recently revamped it

https://youtu.be/Rzlo4jXaEvY

[terse bison]

Yea it’s pretty nice, I have an older model tho

[cedar dragon]

I just ordered the advanced upgrade off ebay for $15, it's supposed to have the quicker rotation for english

[terse bison]

Nice blue color

[green condor]

this game can be so pretty sometimes

[untold spindle]

Daym

Not real, but this works

[untold spindle]

first or second?

[green condor]

that rainbow is a bit intense lol but second

[untold spindle]

gotcha

Qwen-image is great

that took 4 mins

for two images at 1080p

this was the better option

[viscid kernel]

A beest

[green condor]

Pretty nice but the lower half of image could use just a tiny bit of light

[cedar dragon]

Kodak might be going out of business, so if you've been interested in film photography, do it now before film goes up even more

[winged raptor]

bruh 💀

Forgot about them

[ocean depot]

Noooo

Too broke for film anyways sadly

[viscid kernel]

alr ill see if i can get it once im outta school

[ocean depot]

A slr + cost of film pretty much kills it for me

Although

F mount lenses would work with older slrs

So I could probably snag a body

OOOOOOOOO

[winged raptor]

Yoooo that's not too bad (I think?)

I wonder what DSLR prices are like, now that people are going for mirrorless cameras

[ocean depot]

Should I get a SLR and a roll of 35

[ocean depot]

D7000 is cheap

[winged raptor]

Then you have to figure out how to develop the film lol

[ocean depot]

Yeahhh

That's the expensive part

[winged raptor]

Wow yeah those Nike D7000s are actually pretty cheap used

I already have a Canon EOS Rebel T3 (I think that's the model)

Something just to learn on

[ocean depot]

The good thing about nikon is the lens platform

There's a lotta Nikon F lenses out there

Hmm

Kinds tempted

[winged raptor]

lol try parting out the rest of the equipment needed to develop it

[ocean depot]

To get the camera and a roll of cheap film just to test it out

[ocean depot]

Cheaper to get it developed at a shop

[winged raptor]

Obviously Kodak, but they're going out of business. So who else could develop it? Local places

I'm not a camera guy (yet) so I wouldn't know lol

[ocean depot]

Oh

These cameras don't include batteries

[ocean depot]

Yeah local shops

[winged raptor]

Oh gotcha

I bet you can still get your Kodak camera's film developed there too

[ocean depot]

God damn

The cost of a slr + film + battery & charger is going to mount up to the cost of a dslr

Yeah no this is not cheap 💀

[winged raptor]

Lowkey I wanna do this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk4X3khyoXI

I have a spare Ender 3 for this

[ocean depot]

Unironically a good idea

I could see an indie film maker using this

Wtf

Unironically cheaper to get this

Compared to a SLR

I wonder if the newer dslrs are going to get cheaper

Kinda want an upgrade to my d7000

[winged raptor]

I bet you they will. The hype for mirrorless cameras is gaining traction

[ocean depot]

wtf

d7200 is still twice the price

bruhhhh

[ocean depot]

It better

[winged raptor]

imo DSLRs aren't bad either. But I'm not a photographer, so I wouldn't have that perspective

[ocean depot]

I mean the d7000 is still a great camera but like

Really? The D7200 is a decade old why does it still cost this much used?

Camera market is funky

Doesn't even come with lenses smh

That being said

16MP on the D7000 still obliterates any smartphone

[green condor]

I was going to do this

[slate frost]

it was a $1200 body when it released and dlsr tech hasn't improved drastically enough to make its specs (24MP, 25000iso, and 50 focus points) obsolete

*also $1200 2015 dollars

[ocean depot]

Yeahhhhhhhh

It's pretty pricey

For a decade old camera

Especially when you take into account the remaining shutter count

[slate frost]

Supposedly it has a very high shutter life but I suppose if it was used by a professional that could still get eaten through

[viscid kernel]

Picture prefect anvil outside my gym

[ocean depot]

Most cameras on the market are probably professionals

On one hand they take very good care on their equipment

On the other hand

It's been extensively used

It'd be fine if the price could be a bit lower

[green condor]

usually you can get a pretty good idea by checking the shutter count. if it was used professionally an older camera can easily have over 200,000 images taken

[untold spindle]

Beautiful

[viscid kernel]

Cool reflection caustic from my sunglasses onto my leg

[viscid kernel]

How should I photograph this soap bottle?

[green condor]

lol that is interesting one. I would prob try with a flat color background that gives it some contrast. If using lights I'd get at least one strong light but watch for glare. have to shoot an area of the bottle that is very clear. you can also do closeup where some of those lines might make interesting shapes

[tall berry]

Do not the bottle

[viscid kernel]

…

[untold spindle]

ooo

rare

[viscid kernel]

the soap got used to the point where there are no more swirls before i remembered to take a picture

:(

[green condor]

Damn

[winged raptor]

Rip

[green condor]

damn

they finally came out with a internal zoom version but I only just bought the original a couple months ago

[untold spindle]

The price

[green condor]

Ye i don’t feel too bad about getting the old one cuz I think I paid like half of that for mine lol

[viscid kernel]

How do I get cloud photos to look closer to real life? Whenever the cloud's like orange it always makes it yellow or white

[green condor]

I don't do these kinds of pics very often but I would say it probably has to do with clipping. Usually I would take an HDR image, with a camera that is in the form of exposure bracketing. taking multiple pictures purposefully under and over exposing some to get more color information in the very bright and very dark areas

[untold spindle]

shot in RAW, and edit it in lightroom on your phone

[viscid kernel]

Alr

[slate frost]

Or any raw editing software

You should be able to use various color tools to adjust colors how you like

[ocean depot]

yeah

all the good photos out there

they're almost never "as shot"

you have to do some color correction to get it to look good

[untold spindle]

@green condor back in Brazil. Bought my camera this time

[viscid kernel]

Go to Venezuela and see the repeating thunderstorms

[leaden canopy]

@green condor or anyone else got any recommendations as to where i can learn to shoot or at least get examples of stills/shots for a desk or table? or just anything for inspiration like this image? I want to try and learn how to setup shots like these rather than just taking a picture of my mice and mousepads straight on

i guess adobe stock would be a place to look since its all over the picture

[green condor]

It’s a mixture of photography and styling, might be able to look around the commercial photography space. I’ve watched tim house studio but he usually hires a stylist for the placement of items and such he mostly does lighting

Also even pinterest is a decent place to get some inspiration

Will post images soon

[green condor]

our favorite critter

[green condor]

also after this past week doing several sports, portrait, and engagement shoots... I should really stop cheaping out and just get identical camera bodies. having 1 dslr and 1 mirrorless made me screw up the focus and exposure of so many images...

[green condor]

do I buy magnetic filter kit

[tall berry]

If that guy has red under those wings, kill it

[green condor]

nikon just launched first cinema camera with red collab https://www.nikonusa.com/p/zr/2006/overview

[untold spindle]

I had a nice park picture with a nice louge area in Sao Paulo but after inspecting it, the metering mode I chose ruined it. so rip

[green condor]

Bruh my camera is falling apart, now the grips are falling off

[green condor]

Ahh, that’s why i always check the histograms on the previews to double check myself

[untold spindle]

whar camera and how old?

[green condor]

Nikon z6ii. Idk when it was originally purchased but ive been using it as my primary for maybe 2 years

[ocean depot]

I'll take it

[green condor]

lol

I've been debating selling all my cams and picking up a pair of z8's or z6iii's

[ocean depot]

How much is a used mirrorless these days

Higher end DSLR prices do not look encouraging

I wonder if it'd be a better investment to just get a mirrorless lol

Then again... Lenses

It's always the lenses 💀

[untold spindle]

Yes

[green condor]

Maybe like 1k for an older model

[cedar dragon]

/r/photomarket is a pretty good resource

A bunch of camera bodies were on eBay from Japan, but I bet the tariffs make those not worth it

[green condor]

I should mention its around 1k for used mid tier bodies. Some entry level mirrorless can be had cheaper

[untold spindle]

The Canon r10 is great

[winged raptor]

I still don't understand camera pricing. Like is $1K overpriced? Cheap? Worth it?

Or is that like as scummy as 5080 and 5090 pricing?

[untold spindle]

1k is about normal

For a good one

[winged raptor]

But you're not paying a price that makes you say "I paid that much and this is all I get?" (Like buying a 5080 lol)

[untold spindle]

Hm....not really

GPUs are more disappointing

[winged raptor]

Seems like it lol

[green condor]

not really, cameras are very robust and you pretty much get what you pay for from the major brands. although some like leica or hasselblad might have you thinking that.. paying over 5k for a point and shoot

[untold spindle]

Mmhhmm

Idk about Nokia and Sony, but this is a really good mirrorless that you can grow into. This is a good deal imo.

[ocean depot]

Compared to an iPhone

Yes

My decade old Nikon D7000 still takes decent photos (absolutely destroys a phone)

Think it was like $350 total with lenses

Mirrorless are great because they take good video as well

If you just want to get into photography, an older DSLR would be a decent starting point

I wouldn't go too old tho

[slate frost]

Not sure if I'd consider 16MP absolutely destroying a phone

[green condor]

depends on the body and lens. it's not too far off from standard 24MP

[slate frost]

I mean it's 2/3 the pixels (yes resolution isn't everything but it plays a factor)

iirc the iPhone cameras these days are 48MP and then use pixel binning. I assume other brands are similar

[green condor]

yeah but im no scientist but tbh pretty much all phones I've seen at 48MP have significantly less detail than a professional 24MP camera. tbh the megapixels don't mean a whole lot.

Few months back I was shooting with a iPhone 16 Pro and a Nikon Z6ii on a trip and the difference was very apparent

[slate frost]

Yeah I’m not saying MP is a direct comparison

But I doubt a 10 15 year old 12MP dslr is “destroying” a phone shooting 48mp and binning to 24mp or whatever

[crude umbra]

Does shooting in raw on a phone make no adequate difference

[green condor]

Mostly to the colors. Actually I found that the default raw modes on iphone often came out quite soft

[tall berry]

How’s the new iPhone camera?

[untold spindle]

Nowhere as good a real modern camera

[winged raptor]

Still gonna use my 16 Pro Max camera for media creation for work lol

[cedar dragon]

Probably not a good example because Fuji filters, but here's iPhone 13 pro max vs Fuji x-t4

[ocean depot]

Pretty sure it would tbh

[slate frost]

Lowlight it likely will, cause sensor size matters a lot for that

[ocean depot]

Modern phone cameras are still constrained by sensor size

Videos, however

Absolutely not

[ocean depot]

Pretty sure even in a well lit environment it'd still be better on average

The problem isn't because phone cameras are bad or anything

They're just constrained

[slate frost]

I'm sure it's comparable but I'm mostly being pedantic about the "destroys"

[ocean depot]

I'd argue it still stands

If you compare the details and colour accuracy

And the amount of control you get

[slate frost]

Control is a big bonus yeah

[ocean depot]

A lot of problems I have when taking pictures on phones are the lack of control

That's what I mean when I say it would still destroy a smartphone

The larger sensor allows for finer details to be captured even despite the lower resolution

And you have greater control over how those details are captured

Now, if we're comparing a phone to a point and shoot then it wouldn't matter because... Just use a phone lol (The sensor size usually aren't that much bigger than a modern smartphone sensor, maybe you get some zoom but that's it)

Which is its intended market anyways and it's great at that

[green condor]

this isn't one to one but here was a side by side I had near edge of frame. slightly different angle but both are at 100% zoom, both are raw images one from a iPhone 16 Pro and one from a Nikon Z6ii

[cedar dragon]

Are you on iOS 26? I feel like my pictures look blurrier on the new update.

[slate frost]

No idea how reputable this is but

https://www.tenorshare.com/ios-26/ios-26-photos-app-issues.html

Aww it didn't work

Blurry 48MP Photos After Update

Several users with the iPhone 14 Pro or the new version have been reporting "iOS 26 photo blurry fix" issue, missing from the library, or are over-processed.

This issue is likely to have occurred due to the unfinished ProRAW optimization in the iOS 26. To avoid facing the ''iPhone 48MP photos missing'' issue, you may update to the new iOS after a week when the new update comes.

[green condor]

At that time no it was ios 18, but now I do have 26

I have also been trying out Project Indigo as an alternative camera app

[ocean depot]

Is it fair though

To compare digital zoom with optical zoom

Because in that case you can zoom in even further with the Nikon

If you don't mind losing some details

[green condor]

No no, they were both shot on a native focal length, that is just the image blown up to 100% for both. On phones I never zoom because of the digital crop

Checking your images at 100% help you accurately see the level of detail captured and give you an idea of what to expect in print

I also don’t show full image cuz my cousin is in it lol

[untold spindle]

Even with discord compression, the NiKon RAW looks better.

Nice

[cedar dragon]

Yeah, look at the details in the rocks too

[ocean depot]

Ah I see

[ocean depot]

I'm pretty sure it's mostly due to the sensor size

There's physically more area to capture the (light) image with

Also sharper optics

[untold spindle]

Yes

From the moment I noticed the weakness of my phone's camera sensor, it disgusted me.

I craved the strength and certainty of the dedicated camera.

[green condor]

Optics for sure is a big part of it. Id be pretty sad if my phone in my pocket was sharper than my 7lb $2k lens

[untold spindle]

I agree

[limber solstice]

this made me lol so hard it scared my cat

[untold spindle]

Lol

[limber solstice]

Not sure this is the right place for it, but if I wanted to start vlogging, what would I need? D:
Something like this?

https://store.dji.com/product/pocket-2?site=brandsite&from=landing_page&vid=98631

[green condor]

really you can use anything. small camera, phone. the benefit of devices like these is the stabilization of the gimbal and just how small of a camera it is. I was about to say I liked the pocket 3 especially because of the flipping screen which is quite a bit larger but damn is it expensive

[wise moss]

Do you know what Camera he's using here?

[viscid kernel]

tyrception

[slate frost]

DJI Osmo I believe

[limber solstice]

oh wow, DJI Osmo Pocket 1? kk

[green condor]

some of those dji products are so difficult to find now. I waited almost half a year after ordering an accessory before finally canceling

[untold spindle]

I love it

[limber solstice]

Is that Canon on the dog's head? Lol!

[green condor]

ngl I thought it was a camera when I first saw the image

[viscid kernel]

wait thats not you?

[green condor]

lol no, not a big pet person

[winged raptor]

Sick

[languid crag]

i think thats whats implied lol

[viscid kernel]

BeamNG is cool

[untold spindle]

Great shot! How long of an exposure?

[untold spindle]

Jk. Looks good. If only it was grounded in the real world

[cedar dragon]

I had my camera set to 8 second exposures

[viscid kernel]

I don't have a car for that

Unless #cars wants to design and build me a civetta scintilla

[untold spindle]

From phobe

[limber solstice]

what camera do u use?

[viscid kernel]

Samsung galaxy s25+

[molten garnet]

you know, it took me a while to realize that you can just keep editing the photo instead of leaving it "good enough"

[green condor]

the editing never ends

[molten garnet]

it can always be better. For some reason in lightroom my photos look fine, but as soon as I export them they look really dark

[green condor]

could be a color management thing. programs like lightroom are color managed so they use the proper srgb/adobergb/etc color spaces. opening a photo in a non color managed program can render the image incorrectly.
With many modern displays this results in oversaturated colors

[molten garnet]

for me the colors look pretty similar, it's just the brightness of it that is bad

almost everyone I show my photos to agree that they are too dark

[green condor]

the last one is still pretty bright I would say but the foreground is dark. mostly that is just because of the lack of natural light on the foreground. for similar composition I would probably do a multiexposure hdr photo. the idea is multiple photos at opposite extremes so you can retail more details in the highlights and shadows resulting in a more consistent photo. it's also a popular technique for real estate photography

[molten garnet]

to be fair I was on a bike moving 15mph along that path, there's no way I would've been able to get 2 identically framed photos

[molten garnet]

looks pretty odd now, but much brighter

[viscid kernel]

So uh I went to space today

[winged raptor]

I need a photographer's advice. Is my car facing the wrong direction in comparison to the sun? I probably should've had the car facing the sun for the best front lighting, shouldn't have I?

[viscid kernel]

Here have some sunset pics from this weekend(chat needs cpr)

[slate frost]

yeah you'd get more details of the car if it wasn't in shadow

[winged raptor]

Figured

[slate frost]

it would also remove or at least mitigate the reflection of the lot onto the side of the car I think

Still a pretty nice pic though

[cedar dragon]

Moon tonight

[green condor]

Also overcast can be nice

[untold spindle]

Amateur here... Get closer to the car

Also 1/3 sky, 2/3 ground

Lighting is alright

Also get rid of distracting objects in the background like that power pole. It serves no purpose to the image

[winged raptor]

Would zooming in be better than getting closer to the car? (I might just test both, getting closer and zooming in)

Others have said that I should've turned the car towards the sun though

[untold spindle]

Get closer

Physically

[winged raptor]

Still gonna try both lol

[slate frost]

Depends on your camera. If it's a phone with fixed focal length then "zooming" is really just cropping in. With a variable focal length I'd probably test 35-55mm

Maybe even higher. Just avoid wide angle

[untold spindle]

Neeeeedddd

[limber solstice]

oooo

i want a good camera

:3

[untold spindle]

Same

[untold spindle]

I don't see myself being able to get one unless I do professional work

[limber solstice]

prob under 1 k gets u a good camera and ok setup

[untold spindle]

Which one looks better? (I used embeds to keep the native quality)

[viscid kernel]

Oooh tiltshift

[winged raptor]

I wasn't even going for a tiltshift but it kinda looks like that, now that you mention it 💀

[viscid kernel]

How does one do that

[winged raptor]

Idk

[green condor]

There are tilt shift specific lenses. Shifts the plane of focus

[slate frost]

2nd one is higher "quality" if you mean resolution/compression

[winged raptor]

There I rephrased it because my brain wasn't working earlier

[slate frost]

However if I don't look for fine details I think the first one looks nicer, probably because there's less reflections and the black paint looks darker

[viscid kernel]

How bout with a phone

[winged raptor]

@untold spindle what do you think? Bonus points if you can spot which one is the iPhone 16 Pro Max

[viscid kernel]

Guys quick photography tips

[green condor]

[winged raptor]

[cedar dragon]

Both are iPhone?

[slate frost]

guessing the one with more compression artifacts is the phone

1st one

[winged raptor]

Only one

[cedar dragon]

First one

[winged raptor]

Bingo

[cedar dragon]

The bokeh on the pole gives it away

[slate frost]

Yeah it can't quite decide what to do with the pole huh

[winged raptor]

That's actually an issue I had in Lightroom. I didn't notice it until after editing the image

[untold spindle]

Can't tell. Last one?

[winged raptor]

Second one is the DSLR

[untold spindle]

Can't tell with mobile compression

Good photos

[winged raptor]

Thanks bro

[untold spindle]

The extra bokeh gives that small car effect on the last one.

[winged raptor]

Maybe I'm just not good with Lightroom yet lolll

[untold spindle]

I like it.

[winged raptor]

Still learning but I like taking photos with this DSLR way more than my phone. The results turn out way better and I prefer putting more effort into making them look better

My parents: (get me a brand new iPhone 16 Pro Max so I can take photos for their company)

My Canon EOS Rebel T3 from 2011: lol that's cute

[untold spindle]

Soo true. Phones cameras pale in comparison with real cameras. All these cameras use cheap software tricks.

[winged raptor]

Photography takes skill and that's why I like it lol

[untold spindle]

Same here.

It's a fun hobby

And maybe one day I could take it professionally

[untold spindle]

Mirrorless is the future

[winged raptor]

And then something new will come after it lol

Next mission for me: finding what to do with a 250mm lens

lol

[untold spindle]

Not for a few decades probably

[winged raptor]

I wouldn't be buying now, but would a Sony A6400 be worth it over the A6100 for a beginner?

[green condor]

not very familiar with those but they look pretty similar and are both 25MP APS-C sensors

maybe the difference is in processing power?

[green condor]

Nice

Remind me of a shot i got earlier this year

[cedar dragon]

These were back in May 2022

[winged raptor]

I need a polarizer 💀

[slate frost]

Yeah polarized filter is the goat

You can get em for pretty cheap too

[winged raptor]

I got a cheap K&F polarized filter that my friend suggested

Just some K&F filter

Can't wait to mess with it

I also just ordered a Benro carbon fiber tripod

[green condor]

fancy

I got some NiSi NDs and circular polarizers but haven't had too many opportunities to use them yet

[ripe trout]

Idk

Photo my dad took of me only photo my dad took that I have digitally rn so yall get to see it

Oh yeah that’s my dads fancy camera

Here’s me normally

[green condor]

that's a pretty nice photo, good light

[ripe trout]

it was in the afternoon where there were some clouds and rain but sun so ye

[green condor]

overcast makes for some great photos. the sky is your softbox

[ripe trout]

i like taking photos of me without my glasses and unique cloth combos so i may post more

in the future

[green condor]

I have so few photos of myself. my coworkers probably have more photos of me just from taking test shots lol

[ripe trout]

i don't do them that often cause i don't use social media

but when i feel cool

i take a photo

if something is really pretty'

Are Nikons gold hybrid cams? I've been debating between a r6mkii and a a7iv for a while and been wondering what happens over in the Nikon side

[green condor]

r6 is a great all around camera, in the world of nikon the competitor would be the z6iii which has very similar resolution specs, great color, slightly better rear display. the r6 has a digital hotshoe I believe which is nice if you plan on getting accessories for that. AF on both canon and sony is a bit better but the AF in the nikon z6iii, z8, z9 are much better than their previous mirrorless bodies.
imo sony color is more ideal to work with in post specifically for video, nikon has the best out of box color for photo but is building out some great video cameras with the z6iii and zr, canon has a nice blend of both worlds

I would really recommend also looking at the lenses on the systems. you might find something you like for specific system.
also worth mentioning:

r6mkii uses dual SD
z6iii uses CFExpress B & SD
a7iv uses CFExpress A & SD

CF cards are really fast but type A is a hell of a lot more expensive than type B

[molten garnet]

My main concern is low light, af, good ibis,n and the ability to take both good video and photo. Afaik these 3 all have very similar specs and such, but I can't come to a definite conclusion

A7iv has best video, r6mkii has better ibis, Nikon+Sony have many more lenses

They all read blows in the categories that I'm looking at

My friend used to own a Sony A7R III and took some waterfall shots. He told me how to shoot shots like that so I went all the way to Austin because "I knew a spot" lolll. Also went with my girlfriend and taught her how to shoot photos like that

Basically just a quick 1- or 2-second exposure

I could've taken shots like that in my backyard lolll. We have a pool that has some flowing water features

sun has an absolute blast over-exposing this photo (I wanted a long exposure of a water fall. This is only 1/13 seconds with other settings set for proper exposure)

And yes this was even when using a CPL filter. I don't have an ND filter and now I know I should've gotten one lol

This is ASS

Some water I guess lol

[green condor]

yeah this is why having nd's for landscape is nice. also picking which time of day you go

[viscid kernel]

how does one capture waterfalls like they're curtains on phone

[winged raptor]

Low aperture and slow shutter. Example: F22 and maybe like 2"

Maybe on an iPhone you can use night mode. Idk about Android though

It's easiest to achieve that look on a real camera

Phones can't do everything lol

[viscid kernel]

sadge

[winged raptor]

You can start with something like a Sony a6400. I got mine with the kit lens, but I'd say it's best to start with something like a 25mm prime lens and just buy the body

Like either 20mm or 25mm unless you have the money to get a decent zoom lens

[slate frost]

Take a live photo and then set it to "long exposure" in the photos gallery

Need to make sure the phone is well stabilized while taking the live photo

[winged raptor]

I didn't realize that you could do that lol

He's also on Android though

[green condor]

Some 3rd party camera apps will have more control as well

[slate frost]

Whoop misread phone as iphone

Presumably there are android apps that can do a similar thing. It isn't a real long exposure, just stacking frames.

[viscid kernel]

you can kinda do it

[leaden canopy]

@green condor or anyone, anyway or recommendations, on how to use or what to use for using a phone as a monitor for a camera, everything im seeing is hdmi cable to capture card to hdmi to usbc out cables unless thats really the only way to do it

potentially using a canon rebel t6i

idk yet if imma bring the rebel t6i or the eos m on my trip

[green condor]

yeah there isn't a super easy way to do that. I remember using a 3rd party ios app at some point with a weird usb adapter that kind of worked in some ways. There are some slightly more robust options like the phone processor/adapter thing by atomos for video monitoring and recording but I am told it is expensive and finicky. I would also look to see if the first party apps have anything available. In what way were you planning on using a monitor?

[leaden canopy]

seems canon camera connect is something that can be used but the reviews on it that ive seen, granted are old, but they arent great or super positive on the app but looking at it on the store page it looks ok from a ui standpoint, installing it right now to test it.

main reason for using it is just so i can see better. eos m is just a screen that cant be moved in any way and since its old its not accurate to the picture im taking.

the rebel t6i, screen is better than the eos m, but still hard for me to see cause bad eye sight and my glasses make it hard/awkward to actually look through the eyepiece

[green condor]

I feel the struggle of using viewfinders as a glasses user. yeah I would give some of the apps a try but typically they can be pretty laggy or low framerate when going over usb

[leaden canopy]

biggest problem of all this is im going to have to use my kit lens that came with the rebel t6i as my main lens on my trip to japan

[green condor]

buy new lens while you are there 🙂

[leaden canopy]

give money

[green condor]

poor 🙁

[leaden canopy]

give lens

[green condor]

I only got spare nikkor, no canon 🙁

[leaden canopy]

i have adapter

actually wait no

the adapter i have is for canon to fit my eos m

ill just bring the kit lens and 24mm lens for food pics 🗿

pray and hope the kit lens is good enough for landscapes

i also have another lens i plan on bringing for landscapes just to test out since i bought it a while back, holga hl-c 60mm f/8, suppose to be like vintage kinda look

[green condor]

24mm is also pretty nice for landscape. just watch the edge to edge clarity of a kit lens at wider focal lengths

oh neat. I wanted to pick up a vintage lens for fun at some point

[leaden canopy]

Now I just need the cables and capture card assuming canon connection doesn’t work

Looks funny

whelp, hdmi cable might have to be the move

cmf phone doesnt support for nfc but my iphone does but i dont want to use my iphone since i have to use it for everything else

Yea no, just gonna get cables and a capture card. This is cooked

theres also like a 1-2 second delay depending on how fast stuff is moving in front of the camera and will just freeze sometimes

[green condor]

yup

some cameras do still have a delay on their hdmi output but shouldn't be nearly as bad. I think my nikon z6ii was near the worse end of the spectrum in that regard having like a half a second delay or something

[leaden canopy]

$60 for a capture card and hdmi cable that wont get here till 5 days before i leave because i dont have amazon prime

might just tough it out and hope i can take pictures in focus using the built in monitor on my camera

[green condor]

if you can zoom in on the preview from the monitor that always helps

[leaden canopy]

just realized, im locked into bringing the rebel t6i cause i only have 1 battery for the eos m. i have 2 for the t6i

irony in that being i use the t6i as a webcam so i have a dummy battery in it and the eos m has been my main actual camera for all the mice/mousepad pictures ive taken

[green condor]

Lol

[leaden canopy]

i just visited the magiclantern site in forever and they finally have a build for the rebel t6i

i dont have a extra sd card

[green condor]

Always gotta have spare sd cards. Luckily they are pretty cheap now

[leaden canopy]

both my batteries are dead for the t6i cause i havent used them in so long so now i have to wait for them to charge

[leaden canopy]

it takes time i know, but the current build for magiclatern for the t6i is super super basic, just more of a "hey, we managed to get it on the camera" kind of build

i dont have all the features as i do on my eos m build

mainly like focus peak and magic zoom feature on the eos m build

[green condor]

Yeah focus peaking can be really nice to have

[leaden canopy]

focus peak has been really helpful on the eos m since as i said, the screen i cant move and its lower res so its harder to see without a monitor but focus peak tells me what is in focus or not

[leaden canopy]

w mom, she bought me the capture card and hdmi cable

[leaden canopy]

I can actually see

mousepad needs to get cleaned

[green condor]

You mean… you tried to get in??

[wise moss]

Usually large number means bigger. But in Aperture, large number means smaller

[green condor]

yes

[untold spindle]

Yes

[wise moss]

Aperture affects the amount of light a censor gets. I think it indirectly affects focus. But what affects what's in focus or not?

[slate frost]

It affects depth of field

[wise moss]

On iPhone, all I did was tap to focus right. And didn't change aperture at all

What makes it so oj kirkland box is in focus vs the blue downy bottle being in focus?

[slate frost]

Aperture/depth of field is how "deep" the focus area is. Changing the focus point moves the center of that depth

[wise moss]

How do you change the focus point? On auto focus, it's by clicking on the screen. What about manually?

Is it just called focus distance?

[green condor]

Yeah the iphones exaggerate this affect with post processing. but with cameras you always have a focus plane. objects that lie on the focus plane are where they will be sharpest, as you move further in either direction from the focus plane the image gets softer. You adjust the focus plane by turning a focus ring but many phone apps simplify this to simply tapping on an area of the image. if you lower the aperture (make it wider) the focus fall off is much quicker from the focus plane and a narrow aperture has a much wider fall off so more objects will appear in focus

Some apps with more advanced settings do have a “focus ring” of sorts

[wise moss]

what are some general pros and cons of dslr vs mirrorless cameras

Quick Summary:

DSLR: Bigger, optical viewfinder, legacy lens support, longer battery.

Mirrorless: Smaller, EVF, faster live autofocus, modern video features, camera controls electronic aperture.

does that seem right

[slate frost]

Yes except mirrorless is also way more expensive

Unless they've come down in price, haven't checked in a while actually

[green condor]

Lots of good deals on dslrs, but repairs can be more difficult to source. Mirrorless has some advantages with the flange distance being smaller, lenses are often lighter weight, they also have more robust video recording options.

The evf vs optical can be a big deal to some but they are so different im not sure i can clearly say one is better than the other

The electronic aperture is going to be important for older lenses. Some much older dslr lenses might have difficulty adapting to mirrorless bodies due to this or older af systems

[slate frost]

Looks like canon r100 gets you into mirrorless for sub $600. Only 380 shots on a charge though, oof

Using optical on my SL3 I can get something like 1500

[winged raptor]

Lexar cards are my baseline.

[winged raptor]

[green condor]

Yeah I just stalk b&h for sales

[jolly heath]

Urryday I’m deal-zonin’

Sigma releasing that 135/1.4 has me sorta depressed I went for Nikon’s Z mount. I felt compelled to order an a7r then canceled it for a z6ii. I’ve heard good and bad things about the megadap etz adapter.

My current goal’s finding an affordable z mc 105/2.8 macro, a laowa 8-15 fisheye and a decent longer, maybe Tamron 150-500 for track days around Waterford Hills speedway and annual cruises and car events. Probably favoring the 24-120/4 for the wider telephoto to minimize swapping and exposing the sensor to dust during rally events with Jankowski Motorsports; Snodrift, namely... Michigan rally.

Slowly working in creative lenses I can apply for car modeling and cosplay modeling. Also an easy selection for things like ren fests. My brother in law has a few cosplays he displays next to his theater screen. Prince Armory Vader and Fett which he also wears to conventions and ren fest. Hoping to work some light painting in with a model so versed in stationary posing.

Lindsay Adler is inspo, Gavin Hoey and Jonny Creative... more crafty and textured work. Need to find an affordable high-detail projector for some backgrounds.

TIL that a higher aperture number increases the sharpness of a photo

You can easily tell a difference by looking at the top-right of my motherboard
https://zipline.terracontents.com/raw/YGmpEy.jpg
https://zipline.terracontents.com/raw/4oWMKN.jpg

[slate frost]

Well, sort of, but not universally? Higher apterture number has a deeper depth of field. I think in the first photo the GPU is in focus but the motherboard/back of the case isn't quite in focus

[winged raptor]

That makes total sense. I might try again later but with focusing on different areas of my PC

[slate frost]

From the first photo, you can see the focus area pretty well on the top fans. Notice how the rear of the case is out of focus, then the middle of the fan is in focus, then the front of the fan is out of focus

[winged raptor]

This sounds about right. I think the focus point was on the GPU, too, which lines right up with the part you circled

[slate frost]

yeah you can see that the gpu heatsink fans are nice and sharp

[winged raptor]

So I guess a higher aperture basically just puts more things in focus, thus sharper

[jolly heath]

Technically there’s a sweet spot for each individual lens for general sharpness and that is related to aperture for primes and aperture and focal length for telephotos.

[slate frost]

^this too. But in the example of the PC it's definitely just depth of field

[winged raptor]

I kinda want it lol

It's actually not very heavy. For a 300mm, it seems kinda small lol (until you actually zoom it to 300mm)

[untold spindle]

Nice. Keep up the great work
