[charred fog]

yeah fuck that guy

[sturdy sundial]

AND IT WORKS

IT FUCKING WORKS

this guy is still clearly making enough bank to continue doing this shit

[ivory leaf]

Well he probably has a low volume/high margin business going on

Guess it works kase so many ppl are uninformed

[sturdy sundial]

to think my mom almost bought a D5100 from that guy

that is fyi worse than the D3500 in every aspect save for the screen AND was more expensive

[sturdy sundial]

yeah

i think like all the people buying cameras from him don't know what the difference between a DSLR and Mirrorless camera is

[ivory leaf]

Definitely

[plain yarrow]

holy

shitty price

LMAO

[ivory leaf]

Content creator type that just want a "pro camera"

[sturdy sundial]

suddenly reminded of the video i watched of a guy showing a "Samsung DSLR" as the seller in the video corrected him saying it was a Mirrorless camera, straight up ignoring him and still putting DSLR in the title 😭😭

[tropic trellis]

WAHAHAHHH IMAGINE YOUNG ANO SA HENRYS FS 3000D TAS 30K??? LMFAO

[sturdy sundial]

im not sure

[tropic trellis]

Well it is lmfao

[worthy haven]

well me next week

[plain yarrow]

i feel like most phone snobs aren't gonna be able to focus their eyes on that camera man

[sturdy sundial]

aweso!!

[plain yarrow]

im feeling a portrait for me

[charred fog]

im tryna make it to #⚡・featured-photos

[sturdy sundial]

i could give ya some stuff to watch out for just incase when i'm done

[plain yarrow]

ah

[charred fog]

i feel like it has a chance if i give the edit enough justice

the shittier edit made it to #⚡・gallery-picks

[plain yarrow]

well it seems fine enough but i think the shadows on his face is dark

like it takes a fair while to immediately lock on to his face

but is a bit hard to see his expression cause of the shadow

[charred fog]

im trying to fix that right now

issue is im starting to face the limitations of my sensor

[plain yarrow]

yeah cool

[plain yarrow]

fuck around and find out ay

monkey neuron go oi with the slide of a bar

[tropic trellis]

Wtf looks piss on the sides

[charred fog]

[tropic trellis]

The contrast sides of the white guy

[charred fog]

tf

[tropic trellis]

Nvm

Fuck it we ball

[charred fog]

i think this is it

this is where it was

okay i should

tone down the back

final-final-real-real

😭

nvm guys im cooked they do care about the noise

5d2 cant do allat much

[tropic trellis]

[charred fog]

yeah im calling it a day

bro he told me i overdid it pretty much

this is the first photo in a while that had me pulling my brain out

[sharp saffron]

I think the version on the gallery stuff is better than these recent ones

[charred fog]

ced is teaching me rn

in editing stream

i really overdid it

[sharp saffron]

I gotta listen to this

[charred fog]

@sharp saffron im here rn

[sharp saffron]

Yo

[sharp saffron]

Yeah, this is great

[charred fog]

this is ced's

[sharp saffron]

I think i the blacks here better

[plain yarrow]

i think ced made it more balanced

feels easier on the eyes to see

or maybe my monitor is too bright lolol

[sharp saffron]

I like ced's uncropped version

[charred fog]

that was the raw

[plain yarrow]

i also see the face more from ceds edit

[charred fog]

im here right now

[plain yarrow]

cool shit

[charred fog]

im working on the face rn

[sharp saffron]

Also maybe I'd go somewhere in between urs and ced's

[charred fog]

alright

@sharp saffron @plain yarrow

btw @tropic trellis whats the exhibit thing for born in film

[plain yarrow]

yeah i think thats the best as it can be exposed without the noise popping up majorly

[charred fog]

14 revisions of death

@sturdy sundial hows the knf swabs

are they worth a damn

[solar matrix]

Ive been using these for 3 years

[charred fog]

i bought a few

doing a photoshoot with my girlfriend she just completed the fit

and i just got my lens cleaned

probs by next week

[tropic trellis]

Idfk i forgot the details what they told me

[tropic trellis]

@sturdy sundial steal prices???

[worthy haven]

the bigma

[sturdy sundial]

i'm not an expert in Sigma lenses so i can't exactly comment

i know Nikon bodies and a good handful of Nikkor lenses but not third parties allat much

go check for fungus btw something concerning is that there isn't a "stored in drybox" note

[sturdy sundial]

diba this was the sensor before

after some trial and error, this was the sensor now AFTER, stopped down to f/22 and i checked it's literally invisible at f/11

[charred fog]

nice

i bought a few

They arrive tomorrow

gonna shoot my girlfriend

my lens has fucking weirdass marks tho

doesnt affect output but im not sure what it is could be lubricant or coating or some shit but at least the fungus is gone

[sturdy sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/dexter-james-doakes-surprise-mf-can't-prove-it-gif-7408854170742055240

[sturdy sundial]

probably moisture in the lens? or coating damage from when the fungus was nom nomming it

at least in the early stages it can etch off the coatings but it doesn't really show up in pictures yet i think

[charred fog]

idk could be moisture from the shipping tbh

tech said i can send it back he'll try and fix again

[tropic trellis]

shoot what....

[charred fog]

but im kinda tight on budget rn

[tropic trellis]

shoot what...

[true spear]

Whatbdo you do if thete is fungus

[tropic trellis]

change lowpass or clean it

[true spear]

Oh okay icic

[sturdy sundial]

if the sensor doesn't have a low pass filter (like most Nikons) are you just fucked

[sturdy sundial]

btw do yall know who this guy is

i woke up with like a couple of IG notifs to see he apparently stalked my profile a bit

that is to say this guy takes better pictures than me why is he liking my posts oh my gosh 😭

[charred fog]

Maybe he lives around the area idk

Or just likes your photos

Fuck outta here with that impostor syndrome

[tropic trellis]

[sturdy sundial]

[sharp saffron]

Orrr the edits are so consistent

[charred fog]

birds

[sharp saffron]

[charred fog]

the quest to become the lord of contrast

[sturdy sundial]

the typea backgrounds Filipino obituaries on tarpoline have

[charred fog]

these photos arent quite there though

im not sure how to fix

maybe its fine considering they were takin during different times of the day

[sturdy sundial]

first one was fucked from the beginning feels too wide

the edit is fine but the composition is off

you don't have a 35mm lens?

[charred fog]

i dont understand

[sharp saffron]

I think they are already

[charred fog]

i think the wide added to the photo tbh

[sharp saffron]

They got that filmic fibe

Vibe

[charred fog]

look at the sky

[charred fog]

nah not yet

might get one soon

[sturdy sundial]

pretty damn worth it

[charred fog]

im not super into 35 or 50 tbh

i really prefer like

14-20

[solar matrix]

i got my t lenses

[charred fog]

maybe 24 sure

[solar matrix]

Rip 500$

[sturdy sundial]

also i really like the second one, i think it would've worked a LOT better if at hyperfocus though

[charred fog]

for the long end i like 85 and longer

[charred fog]

hard to achieve with 85 without underexposing to oblivion tbh

that was already f8

[solar matrix]

auto iso da goat

[charred fog]

see this is why i love wide angles

[solar matrix]

Could be wider

[charred fog]

yeah theres a slight crop

[sturdy sundial]

well i'll be damned

[charred fog]

original was too wide

[solar matrix]

Fuck

[sturdy sundial]

also i too love the fourth one but tf is that bird in the background

[solar matrix]

I accidentally sent to a regular cart in the lrt

[charred fog]

foreground you mean?

[sturdy sundial]

even if it's out of focus it still kinda draws attention due to not being flush enough with the sky

i'm nitpicking btw i still think these are great and i love them

[charred fog]

ehh its aight not too much of a fan of that photo anyway

i prefer the bnw one

this one

[charred fog]

[plain yarrow]

[sturdy sundial]

grado ng mga salamin ko kase is like

75 and 100

i lived for 13 years w/o knowing i needed them and could live for more

[plain yarrow]

damn thats for book reading old people

[sturdy sundial]

i just find it infuriating having to wipe them often

[sturdy sundial]

yeah..

[plain yarrow]

fair

[sturdy sundial]

God debuffed me i got mild astigmatism

[plain yarrow]

i take my glasses off when i use my viewfinder

[sturdy sundial]

surprisingly not from the 14 years of constant screen use my eyes went through as my parents warned me

[plain yarrow]

especially in sports shooting

[sturdy sundial]

that too, so fucking annoying shooting via OVF with glasses

[plain yarrow]

yeah smeared oily and sweat on your glasses

[worthy haven]

theres that adjustable part

the diopter

i think

when i first got my camera, i was used to shooting dslr's with no glasses

i took a peek at the viewfinder and said "tangina, panget ng focus ng lens"

[charred fog]

whenever i have to use cameras with evfs or no diopters i just die

my eyes hate both

[worthy haven]

yun pala may grado lang mata ko HAHAHAHAHAH

HAHAHAHHAHA

@charred fog, how do u promote yourself online

can i see ur portfolio

[charred fog]

I havent finished fixing it yet

[charred fog]

Just network

[worthy haven]

no posting online?

whats ur rate, usually

[charred fog]

Like 5k for 4 hour and longer events

3500 lowest

2 hour im cool w 2500

Corporate is different though

I do headshots i charge per head and hours

Last time it was 20k for a half day shoot of like 68 employees

I quit events tbh

Too tiring

[worthy haven]

damn thats expensive

like if im just starting out is 3500 okay

[charred fog]

for 4 hours thats kinda ♿

but i guess if you're starting yeah

i usually explain to my clients (when asked) that there's so much more work done to the photos after my 4 hours with them in order to ensure quality

in total its more like double that tbh

including post processing

they're also not just paying for your time they're paying for your experience and skills

oh and

camera

software

[worthy haven]

is it okay that i start even with no flash

[sturdy sundial]

photos kinda end up ass icl

well they're fine

IF the ambient lighting is strong enough

but if not it's 💩

[worthy haven]

with one or with none?

[sturdy sundial]

photos w/o flash and w/ flash i'll let you decide

but even if it's not for lighting having a flash can be REALLY good to stop down your aperture, or hasten your shutter speed, or lower your ISO

i had to shoot 6400 in an indoor venue once and at 1/60 which was ass but in the latter image i was rocking 1/200s f/2.8 at ISO 400

[sturdy sundial]

w/o one
again because your settings are kinda more ahh but also because there's harsher shadows on a subject's face or sumn for example

[worthy haven]

you shot with an 18-55?

during events?

[sturdy sundial]

i shot the former with my 18-55 simply because i had no other lens

but the latter i genuinely never took off my prime lens

only did so for group shots when i realized it'd be too tight to fit 15 people in one frame at 50mm

the flash i used was cheap

[worthy haven]

what flash

[sturdy sundial]

TT600 i got mine for mga P2.8k

you'll find them mga P3k or P3.2k

pero it's full manual only

it's still a very good flash don't get me wrong pero if you wanna like adjust your aperture to stop it down you gotta spend three seconds adjusting your flash settings and more if you're not too sure that you set it correctly and gotta take test shots

[worthy haven]

ano yung may mga ttl na flash

[sturdy sundial]

there's a TT685 II which is a better TT600 na may E-TTL

kinda eeh

[worthy haven]

mahal tangina

budget ko lang 3k

[sturdy sundial]

or you go for the endgame flash and get the Godox V1 the 1DX3 of flashes

[sturdy sundial]

TT600 is still completely fine

it's the one i use and i don't have any major complaints

TTL is nice pero it will only make you worse at flash photography if you don't learn full manual

it's like starting photography at full auto

[worthy haven]

may trigger ka ba

[sturdy sundial]

nah

i would love one though

it's barely out of my budget

but the TT600 has a nice feature called "Optical Slave"

[worthy haven]

tt350s o tt600?

[sturdy sundial]

gamitin mo lang on-board flash ng camera mo, when your flash fires your speedlight will too

[worthy haven]

tangina bibili pako ng battery

ng a6400

[sturdy sundial]

TT350 is half as strong sa flash output ng TT600

pero it's smol

the Godox IT32 is also an interesting look

speedlight na may kasamang wireless trigger tas you can attach it to the trigger with a magnet

[worthy haven]

ang liit

[sturdy sundial]

it compromises by having weak GN 18

it's only like twice as strong as the D3500 and a6400's on board flash

compared to GN 60 which is just a lot

[worthy haven]

tt685?

okay lang ba yun?

wut events do u cover @sturdy sundial

[sturdy sundial]

anything realy

birthdays, school events

i'm tryna do cafe photography

[sturdy sundial]

i'd still go with the TT685 II for QoL

[charred fog]

mfw typical horrible pinoy lights and sounds

oh my fucking god bruh i hate this shit

[sturdy sundial]

these the same people who fully denied me from using flashes btw

[charred fog]

whatever man they want shit photos give em shit photos

[sturdy sundial]

tbf that was a mass though so it's iffy if they would've let me or not

[charred fog]

@sturdy sundial

[sturdy sundial]

yeah?

[charred fog]

you should check for models/influencers in your area

try and set up a fun shoot

idk who this is but they seem like an influencer or something with their location tagged in the reel

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX0Q3rLvFo4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

should be fun

[sturdy sundial]

uh

😭

i'll

...consider it?

at the end of the day man i'm still a 14 year old

reminds me i could try to do concert gigs for Healy After Dark

they're based in Angeles

[charred fog]

oh right

i forgot

[sturdy sundial]

but they seem to be relatively dead recently

[charred fog]

but tbh its kind of an advantage you got a lot of time to spend on developing your skills very early on

only issue is you a broke ass highschooler

[sturdy sundial]

correct

[sturdy sundial]

also correct 😔

[charred fog]

reminds me of when i used to make money off school projects

i would do the editing related ones for 50 pesos per project

it got so bad students' parents were messaging me personally to have their child's project done

for 4x the price

absolute fire shit lmao

[sturdy sundial]

i mean ngl you do edit good

i personally can't figure out what the fuck to put in backgrounds

[sturdy sundial]

also societal pressure and i just have this weird awkward feeling idk

[charred fog]

its okay you will figure it out

no need to rush things

[sturdy sundial]

looked at the reel and holy shit i think i'd get dogged on not just by strangers but also by my family AND my own self-conscience if i shot... her(?) as a model

[charred fog]

i used to think that way i just stopped giving a fuck and people turned out to support me

[sturdy sundial]

right, that's also what i was thinking

people don't give a fuck

but it's also just a battle with my own morals and shi yknow

it's just ingrained into my mind to dislike people who wear revealing clothes
sure you can do whatever you want fuck ig it's your clothes but i see it as sorta taboo

just me though

anyways i gotta figure out my shit now

i'm going to this cafe (soon hopefully, they asked me to email them) with this really cozy, "simple rustic library" vibe which i'm excited for

and another unpaid family birthday shoot on Saturday 🥀

these wireless triggers and especially this 50mm f/1.8G that's gonna make you look stunning (not really) ain't gon pay for itself man

[charred fog]

you will never be able to please everyone

someone will always give you shit

so dont think about it just do what you wanna do

you can shoot them in traditional clothes then tie that shit up with your area's tourism

big brain

one of my friends did that and they got featured by TIME magazine

[sturdy sundial]

it is a good idea yeah

also apparently the photographer JUST sent the GDrive link for the photos which were supposed to be on the 25th of April???

note to self i gotta organize the fucking GDrive's better ngl

[charred fog]

whuh

for your niece's birthday?

[sturdy sundial]

yeah

[charred fog]

https://www.instagram.com/p/DXnWCXsme6_/?img_index=1

ah

well

[sturdy sundial]

mine was literally just a dump of the photos with like a folder for a bubble show

the main had her's neatly organized i should probably also follow the same

[charred fog]

wait she had the photos segregated per folder per part of the event?

[sturdy sundial]

i remembered some classmates of mine wanted to do a gala at the parade grounds here during some picnic

on the same note two of the girls (and only other people coming with lmao) noted that they wanted to dress up and shi and do a portraiture session, could start off with that
problem is we don't even have gas money to go to the parade grounds

[sturdy sundial]

yeah

[charred fog]

shiii

thats fire

i should do that and pretend its a selling point

lmao

[sturdy sundial]

my god man

someone cut this guy's balls off

[plain yarrow]

i feel like people should be alerted about this

alot of bullshit prices

cameras so mid too

[sturdy sundial]

i could find better cameras at a Japanese thrift store

[tropic trellis]

@sturdy sundial @plain yarrow u up again at shitting store prices again?

[sturdy sundial]

balling rn

@charred fog absolute Jumbo destruction

[tropic trellis]

[sturdy sundial]

ad up all the enemy kills i'd have more combined

[worthy haven]

where was the free wedding photographers for interns shit

im looking on interning

[worthy haven]

how much theyre paying you, and how will you shoot it

should i hit up cafes

[sturdy sundial]

i'm offering to shoot for free

i am on NO GROUNDS right now to ask for payment and i think i would be very shocked to see a 14 year old with a camera show up and even more so if he asks for money

[worthy haven]

you are underestimating yourself

im gonna be shooting my cousin's cafe this monday

well next monday

thats gonna be paid

then using those photos, ill market myself to other cafe's in the area

grabeng big brain moment eto

[sturdy sundial]

would probably be easier because it's a relative yknow

i do not know this cafe

this cafe don't know me

also i will say even if it's a relative shoot i'm a bit infuriated that my family isn't paying me to shoot the birthday on Saturday

like sure, whatever portfolio work but this gear isn't going to pay itself either

[worthy haven]

been there done that

[sturdy sundial]

i plan to start charging late May

[worthy haven]

istg, i shot my cousins 7th

over 2500 raw files

culled it down to 700

edited 200 of em, then my tita wanted me to edit the rest of the 700😭

all of that for free

that was like, what, three years ago?

[sturdy sundial]

pretty damn annoying ain't it?

[worthy haven]

or two years and a half

[sturdy sundial]

literally taking time outta your life for this and no compensation

[worthy haven]

mamimicture din ako ng local na liga samen

[sturdy sundial]

it ain't just how long we stay there for or the gear we have but also the fockin editing man

[worthy haven]

buti nalang 3x3, maliit court

[sturdy sundial]

[sturdy sundial]

ooh awesome

[worthy haven]

pinagiisipan ko nga kung maglalaro ako o magpicture🤣

ive done model works all for free

[sturdy sundial]

modelling work sounds fun but my main problem with it mostly comes down to the fact i have to communicate with a stranger

i'm all for candid moments but posing is something i kinda struggle with

[solar matrix]

IM GOING TO QUIAPO TEEHEE

I sold my dry box a few weeks ago

And ius replaced it with one of those big tupperwares, filled it with silica gel and tossed my gear in

Then I put a humidity meter on it

It works jus as fine and it won’t spike up my electricity bill

[sturdy sundial]

electrical drybox?

i have the typea one that you just close and you get a dehumidifier for it with a hygrometer

[worthy haven]

yuno ball

[solar matrix]

Why buy srybox when u can get an 80mm

[worthy haven]

i use those little plastic boxes you get when buying christmas grocery packs

then bought some silica gels on shopee

buying dry boxes is like buying a fridge

[tropic trellis]

[solar matrix]

Enrico

[solar matrix]

How are you able to run resolve

My shitty macbook cant do that

[charred fog]

yes, 85

I needed layers sooo

85mm compression and perspective is very natural to me

[shell linden]

yall ever just go through your camera roll

and think

When the fuck did I take this

I know I took most of the macro ones (that I have right now) in Buhol

but still

like bro When

Tomorrow im gonna walk around the semi historically important place
Paco Manila

Despite my own photos

I still don't give a crap about Lepidoptera

[charred fog]

paco church?

[shell linden]

and Paco Catholic school

which I am a alumni of

Its fairly gigantic

like goddamn theres places even I havent walked around

[shell linden]

hold on I should change the contrast to pull out more detail out of the flowers under it

nobody talks about this
but Butterflies are easy as shit to take photographs of

at the size MOST of these are

they are OLD MEN

and slow as shit

I don't post shit on my social media
but imagine if I just DID randomly post these images

Like yeah I went to Buhol
I aint talkin bout it though

[charred fog]

gang

i just realized

[shell linden]

Mmm resolving detail

[tropic trellis]
