What makes Japan such an desired place for photography? I'm really trying to understand the hype around it. When I visited of course the size of Tokyo itself opens lots of opportunities but I quickly notice that it gets repetitive rather fast. All muh taxis look the same, the buildings have a pattern that repeats a lot. If you've seen a few shrines/temples.. in the end they all look the same. Even if you visit other prefectures you won't see much of a difference. Whenever I see camera vlogs or flickr uploads in Japan I now tend to skip because it's always the same.

My current number one location would probably be Germany. Still safe enough to bring your camera with you, every state has it's own architectural style. Towns are usually a comfy mix between old medieval houses in the center with grim 60s bauhaus constructions that look really odd. Also home of Leica where this sort of everyday compact photography started.

What do you think? What's your prefered location?

Hello, /p/. I love traffic lights since I was a kid, and I'm trying to take pictures of traffic lights. I'm still learning the basics of photography, so any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope one day I can afford a professional camera, but for now they're shot on my shitty phone camera. Thanks.

Ones you've actually used.
Give reasons.

1. Panasonic - pleasing JPEG, best QOL - lots of features that work well.
2. Fujifilm - decent but I didn't like the JPEG detail rendering.
3. Olympus / OM system - decent, but I don't didn't like the JPEG colors (tans pushed to red).
4. Sony - lots of features on paper but they're half-baked and riddled with needless incompatibilities.

Insta and whatever else thread for wherever anons post their photos.

Do any of you tend to go for certain themes and styles? Or just try anything?

It is time.

How do I become a Magnum Photographer?

I have never created a piece of art that I like. I never came back to anything I did months later and thought to myself "hey, this is neat".

I can't use my hands to create shit. I can draw geometric shapes. I have nice handwriting. I can play open chords and bar chords on guitar. But that's where my physical skill set ends.

I picked up a camera because my hands are no good. Only to realize that it's probably not my hands, it's my brain. I have little to no visual imagination. I can memorize rules that make photos look more pleasing, but I can not get beyond that in terms of intent with my photos.

Over the last ten years, I resigned to the realization that I can't create anything because I have nothing to say. I have no personality. I have no opinions. I have no stories. Just things I point my camera at.

I'm going to start this one off with a stupider question than usual.
Say you were asked to shoot a few wedding shots at the last minute and all you've shot before was rocks, leaves, birds and the odd landscape or building corner... what do? Asking for a friend of course but pls reply quick.
