Hello /p/, I need to take a selfie and use as my profile picture for work (have to be looking professional). Do any photo geniuses here have any tips?

You're not a real photographer unless you shoot people.

Portraiture is the purest and most artistic form of photography bar none. Through portraiture you develop and exhibit the bare minimum of skill needed to engage artistically with other genres and employ some directorial talent to truly create the images you want, not just the ones you stumble into. If you never engage in portraiture you will never, ever develop anything resembling talent. The portrait is the fundamental skill, the pure photography. It is the deceptively simple dish that must be made perfectly, the one that amateurs fail at despite being decent at more complex meals, that you must master if you are ever to truly master anything else.

This fact is not up for debate. Even Ansel Adams did decent portraiture.

I bought this VCR from the thrift store and my friends thought it would be a great opportunity to make nintendo fursuit fetish content. I got it to work while plugged in but the battery says charged but won’t work. Does anyone know where i would find a replacement or some sort of conversion mechanism? the VCR model is CC4352 and the battery model is EP096FS/EP096FL

Noob here. Do you use edit or use different settings for sunny or overcast days?
My camera has three C settings on the PASM wheel that I plan to use like C1 - sunny, C2 - overcast, C3 - monochrome. I do very little post-processing and plan to keep it that way.
So should I bump the contrast on overcast days? Or change the histogram?

what is thing called? what lens is that/ which are useful for that?

I havent been here in a while
What happened to the exif data?
