I shoot black and whit 'art' photos. I print a lot. So i spend a lot of time looking at the details of each photo. especially if they're hanging on my wall. that being said, i have a conundrum which, surprisingly, isn't well covered on the internet:>would you say a leica monochrom, or a medium format (with more bits and more sensor real estate) would produce better black and white images?

>>4482924 The Monochrom is cool and I'd like to try it sometime. But it's just way too expensive to justify. You can buy a Pentacon Six with a Carl Zeiss lens for $200 and 200 rolls of bw film including development and scanning ($20/roll) for the same price as the Leica without no lens. Double that if you develop yourself, which is half the fun with bw anyway.

your subjects and angles are boring and I dont know what youre trying to say other than "I AM OBSESSED WITH AESTHETICS" and vibes. Its half hearted and you dont commit enough at all to anything at all.
you have to get lower or get high. get close or dont bother.

Continuous LED lights are terrible for photography. This is an approximate $2400 600watt continuous LED light. At a distance of 2 meters, it can manage 1/60 iso400 f8 at full power. That converts to f4.8 iso400 1/200 if you wanted to get up to a barely usable photography shutter speed. And if you want to go down to iso 100, you are now around f2.8 So $2500 gets you something barely usable on your lowest settings at approx 2 meters, any further distance and it wont work. And if you want to use any modifier at all its all over and you wont even be able to have enough light for a photo. In before just shoot at iso 1600, no thanks, im not spending $2400 just to have to use iso1600.

Bought it because it was more or less it30 but without the need to buy a riser Thought the off camera shooting was going to be a gimmick - a fun one, but a gimmick nonetheless It's not. It's THAT good even with a rather small range of 18m. Just by holding it in your second hand you can get so much creative control. A cheap selfie stick with a tripod and maybe an offbrand diffuser will genuinely let you have studio quality light for incredibly cheap and rather small package.

I envision my first outing with a transmitter, speedlite and softbox to be groundbreaking and literally make me cum from the results.

Hello dear users of this platform, I would like to share my art made in Paint, of course, it may not be perfect, and yes, I translate all of this through an online translator, because I'm not exactly American and, in principle, not from Western countries, I drew this art with a shaking mouse and my hand, because it is not a stylus with which you enter on a graphics tablet, I may have already tired of you with a large number of words, but that's all I want to say, and sometimes I will post here and write in new threads expressing my thoughts, because I may not be completely alone, but in my soul I am surrounded by an emptiness that I do not know how to fill, so I think someday I will fix this problem, and even though I most often have pissy thoughts, I believe that I can improve, have a good night or day ))

>>4488199 those star trails bug me, them seem incidental instead of intentional when clearly some level of effort went into taking & editing that photo

>>4489293 Prolly just a side effect of exposing a night scene so long. I feel like anon didn't really care about three stars in the sky having a bit of a tail.
In fact I would have liked it more if they were even longer (but like, 10x as long)

>>4489294 >Prolly just a side effect of exposing a night scene so long. yes that's usually how you get star trails
I'm saying I would have retouched them out of the photo, or let it expose for like 4x as long
that's already like a 5' exposure, and either dawn or moonlight, so probably couldn't let it expose for much longer or the lighting changes too much

>>4485653 I just bought a Snoy Alpha 57 with a broken stabilizer for 40 bucks. It's on the way to me. How fucked and/or retarded am I?
Anonymous
>>4488941 a57 is a great camera but broken stab makes it annoying to use but for $40 its decent, a charger/battery costs $20.
for reference i paid $180 for a a58 (newer 20mp sensor) locally with a 35mm f1.8 dt and its honestly a pretty enjoyable camera to use, newest i own for the a-mount lenses i still have. it uses the sensor from the a5000 so you get a good pic out of it. the sony cameras were great just horribly unreliable, near e-waste build quality. the SLT setup doesn't impact image quality as much as you'd believe because the sensors are still pretty damn good.
i would def pick up a a58/a65/a68/a77 if they were <$300 (like $180 for my camera is closer to $100 when the lens goes for $80). a68 is probably my next purchase if i can find one <$200.

>>4489019 Yeah, I thought it would be kind of a gamble but it comes with charger, original Sony carrying pouch, two old batteries (I ordered a new one), instructions and a CD ROM (?) that has software on it. All of it looks decent, like not dirty or anything. I thought I could get away with the broke stab because I intend to use it just for tripod shots in my home.
Anonymous
>>4489064 the broken stab should be fine if you're on a tripod unless the sensor is jammed or it throws a error code (these stupid slt cameras always do that).
pick up a decent strobe too if you're doing indoor photography. a cheap way is a minolta flash like a 3600hsd or 5600hsd or the metz/sigma equivalent since it uses the old style minolta and sony dslr hotshoe (a58 uses newer). should be pretty cheap, i have a 3600 hsd i picked up for $10 off buyee that gives me pretty accurate pttl and with a adapter even works on the newer sony cameras (i had it on a zv1)

>>4488755 It's funny how so many gurus and people in your life say to make your job your hobby. Same thing with cars too, I knew a guy that loved cars and then fucking hated them and never did shit to his own car ever again after he started working as a mechanic. He let his car pretty much rot because he couldn't stand doing what he already did for work as an after work project.

I've no doubt they replaced in me in seconds but who knows how long the new guy will last, the industry rotates through normal people fast while only the people who are willing to be shit on will remain.

>>4483068 Man, that takes me back. Remember when Flip cameras were all the rage for what, two or three years there, before “smartphones” really took over? I had a Kodak one that had jelly video like crazy but it could do 720p! Used it quite a bit lol.

Yeah, it was an interesting time. Smartphones were around, but they hadn't completely taken over. And even then, the cameras on them were just "okay." So to get full HD in something that fit in your pocket AND was under $200 was pretty cool.
