Hello /p/, I want to take photos like picrel but have no experience in photography and no camera, I'm willing to spend up to around €1,000 but would rather cheaper as I am not wealthy, anything in the 400-500 range is a nice amount for me. What camera/specs do I need? Any lenses? I know photography terminology as I've experience with 3dcg and they seem to use the same terms there, as well as a bit of experience in just using the pro mode of my phone camera.

>>4461548 You need a high red camera like the Sony A7CR, paired with a sharp GM lens. If your subject is trees, leaves, or anything green in general, Sony is the natural choice because of their propensity for beautiful green hues in their jpgs.

You do carry around a neutral reference with you to get a medium gray for your white balance... r-right /p/? I couldn't imagine you'd blow out your colours, shadows, highlights, and allat, because you forgot to carry a neutral reference! What if you have a colourful subject and your camera's auto white balance mistakes it for a warm light source. Get outta here, unc!

What is HDR in files? Can I export any RAWs as HDR in RawTherapee? Or do I need a special camera that captures extra data in the RAW? Do you use this?

>>4481635 I don't have one any more as my trusted source Christian Bloch has basically taken down his website a few years ago, but he has written a book
https://books.google.com.bd/books?id=bju4BAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false Unfortunately most HDRI tutorials on youtube are made by boomers and retards who don't understand what happens under the hood or companies trying to sell their HDR software, so they're not very informative. They completely skip over what HDR is, how it's done and what it brings, they don't even show the 32-bit images and how they can basically retain details in a much wider range of exposures. They don't explain what tone-mapping to either and why it's needed.
These are relatively old techniques which were a hot research topic 20-30 years ago, but you can still find new papers on the topic with new algorithms. If you're interested just read up the wikipedia article on tone mapping. In any case nowadays camera sensors have improved a lot in terms of dynamic range, so that HDR isn't needed as often as it was 20 years ago.

>>4472971 There are a couple parts here
1. Absolute white point/max brightness. This should be up to the user. If you want the display brighter, up the brightness. If you want it dimmer lower the brightness. Random websites should not be able to override your brightness setting.
2. Tone curve. This should come from the profile embedded in the image. If you don't like the sRGB gamma just supply your own, all the common formats allow embedded profiles.
3. Bit depth. More bits improve quality, whether it is noticeable depends on the image. JPEG supports 12-bit, PNG supports 16-bit, this is nothing new.
In summary there is no need for some Apple-specific format as all this shit has been around for decades.

>>4481741 >Random websites should not be able to override your brightness setting. They don't. HDR has both an "SDR White" and a "Max HDR Brightness", which you can control. Unlike SDR, where the baseline is established at the highest signal level, HDR establishes its baseline lower down the signal curve. HDR is supposed to provide headroom for brighter elements like specular highlights and emissive elements, not simply "brighten" an image wholescale.

>>4481618 >stop is the acidic one but it's just vinegar. Interesting. If I normally just use water for a stop bath would adding vinegar to make a solution be better than straight tap water?
Anonymous
>>4481623 One or two % of acetic acid is enough if you do not reuse stop. So 2 parts of 5-10% white vinegar and 8 parts of water. Less water if you save the stop for next time. Few % citric acid also works, and does not stink like vinegar. About 30g / liter or oz per quart or whatever. Molds can grow in dilute citric acid so better not store it...

This is because each time we prototype wafers and manufacture a prototype sensor, we discover new technical challenges. Since we have never designed a sensor independently before, we are currently learning through trial and error. >While the Foveon team was previously at the forefront, the project is now primarily led by the engineering team at Sigma's headquarters in Japan. Fortunately, technical issues are gradually decreasing, and we feel that the challenges are gradually being narrowed down. Once we are confident that the sensor is technically feasible, we plan to officially move on to the sensor design phase and begin preparations for mass production.

How do I get into doing wet plate/tin type without selling my home. The intrepid large format cameras seem to be the most budget friendly but I’ve also heard they suck fuck and don’t come with half the shit you need outside of actual chemicals.

>>4475647 Silver nitrate solution not silver chloride. You would use silver chloride to make contact prints from your glass wetplates.

>>4475649 Yeah the calumet is probably my go to after looking further into it. I’ve been wanting to try it for a while now, my buddy and I are friends with a photographer who got pretty famous doing Polaroids while fright hopping. Kind of trying to capture the folky vibe of it.

>>4475651 Just remember that the process requires a mobile darkroom if you plan on going out of a studio to photograph stuff. You can make one pretty easily by using a red glass pane glued on top of a light tight darkroom box that you work in. The sun gets filtered into safelight you can use to work under. Battery powered redlight may also work well, but you'll find that you may be working a single scene for a few hours. There's a lot of trial and error involved in the process.
You'll also need a watertight/travel safe dip tank for sensitizing your plates. They're a bit more expensive, but work all around better than the cheaper dip tanks.
There is a very steep learning curve to the entire process, so you'll be stuck at home for a while getting a solid grasp on everything. Buy like 100 4x5 plates if you can. One thing to remember that fucked me a first. You MUST have good ventilation in your darkroom. If you don't your plates will fog. Took me many hours to figure that one out.
I think the folky vibe + wetplate would work really really well. Wetplate portraits are special, but you need a shitload of light for them.
