I was looking around in my city for a public/community shared darkroom/print space as I don’t have the space to do it at home and found a place that sounds great as far as the facilities go, but the people running it and their whole mission seems to be progressive woke womyn run and focused. Not explicitly, they supposedly “welcome everyone” but like picrel just says it all. I looked around for other options and basically every artists group here is the same, the school of art, open art spaces, even the local “hacker/makerspace” seems to be a tranny daycare. Just maximum virtue signalling buzzwords and labels type of people, and it seems you can’t find just a basic “normal” non-political photography group. What’s up with that? Are we really just outliers on here? Like I’m still tempted cause it’s only 35 bucks a year for 24/7 darkroom access but I’d basically have to do maximum power level hiding at all times. Wonder if it’s worth it. How have you all found other photographers to be? Is this the nature of “creative” pursuits? Were the wokeys right, conservatives can’t into art?

Hello,

I've been in need of replacing my Olympus PEN E-P1 I've had since it originally came out (funny enough got it for, I think, a Christmas present in 2009) and since that time been into Photography on and off since up until a few years ago where i had become a lot more serious about it.

but now I'm in serious need of a new one it's completely Cooked you try setting it to shutter it goes to aperture you try setting it to manual it goes to video and keep switching between the two continuously, and yes I have taken it to a used camera shop well both of those ones in Chester and both of the guys in there stated that the hardware is more than likely quite possibly utterly fried and it'll be really difficult and expensive to try and repair

So, I've had a very long look, study and research for more than a year now on Digital Cameras to ask for myself for Christmas and I am more than not opting for the Olympus camera for Christmas, I have had a look at other Cameras the same prince (like Panasonic, Lumix, Fuji, Sony and Pentax which are some of my other favs) and the Mark IV is the one I'm most interested in over the others but before I do ask for it for Christmas just wanted to get a second (or in this case) a few dozen options

here is just one of the many many places where I looked into and got my information on the cameras from

Nah they gave this camera a straight up zoomer haircut lmao I can't

Last year, someone started a great thread about Paris Photo. Here are a few shots I took at this year’s edition on Thursday morning before the official opening. I went back last night to pick up two more photobooks. Enjoy, and feel free to contribute if you attended as well.

Do you print your photos, anon?

It's pretty good

The worst part of photography school is paying for the fees, but the facilities and tutors are really good where I am. I might drop out after I get what I want out of it. It forced me to learn how to photograph and meter properly, use composition, understand lighting, and edit in post-production—all things that amateurs struggle with because they can’t ask a professional for tips.
