Bagel photo I took three years ago around 3:02am after I got sad and hungry listening to frank ocean

This is a nice photo right.

>phones and AI can't replace real expensive professional camer-ACK!

How do I get over the fear of using my camera in public? I got a fancy camera but I've never taken any shots with it because I'm too scared to go outside with it and use it

I found this on my old camera..

Where do (you) host your /p/ortfolio?

Your photo must be at least 5 years old.
If you are new to photography - share the oldest you got.

I've been on the brink of pulling the trigger on a Leica for a long time. I usually shoot 24mm on my Sony, so I was planning on just going with something like the Q2.
I have been doing so much research. so much. and i was never sure I could jsutify the purchase.
I primarily want to buy one for the "leica look'. And yes, I can see the difference. I've done umpteen blind tests and 9 times out of 10 I'll pick the Leica image.
But point being, I wouldn't be buying the Leica for the 'mechanical' or the 'rangefinder' feel.

Anyway. In comes Nano Banana.

And guess what prompt has netted really great results? "can you edit this photo so that it has the 'Leica effect'"?
And it does. Really really fucking well.

AI won't kill photography. But i think it'll kill Adobe. And it'll probably kill Leica as well. if I can get the "leica look" for $20 a month. Why tf would i want to spend 2x or 3x as much for a camera?

Does anyone here freelance? Any tips to make it a stable source of income (even just side income?)
I have done photography freelance on and off but I cannot seem to find clients who reliably want photography. Just connections and odd jobs here and there. Any tips for finding good clients who reliably want stuff done?
