White Balance

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?

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.

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.

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.

>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?

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...

Advantage of acidic stop is it stops developing immediately (which matters if using fact acting develoer) and it keeps fixer PH down if you reuse it.

Tin type/ wet plate

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.

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

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.

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.

Now that the Sony a7v is confirmed just a parts bin combination of the a7RV body, a7iv sensor and a1ii AI processing and AF, what is the definitive /p/ approved full frame camera with STILLS focused to buy this holiday 2025?

- Sony a7RV (60MP, old, same sensor as a7RIV/GFX100/Hasselblad D2)
- Nikon Z7ii (45MP, same sensor as A7RIV, terrible AF)
- Canon R6iii (just announced)

Thoughts?

Worse ergonomics than Oly MFT cameras.

If you want the full frame look then go big or go home. You want something that's comfortable to hold for a whole day.

There's always your iPhone with a RAW camera app if you want a small pocketable camera.
