How do we store our photos? I use the unlimited photo storage that comes with Amazon Prime, but I'm thinking of switching to a RAID hard drive instead.

>>4477273 I had free file sync forever and never used it. Then I used it once and now I use the shit out of it several times a day to keep aaaaall my crap sync’d properly across machines, internal drives, externals, backups, network drives, everything. I’ll use it to check old file transfers & make sure they were completed & nothing fell thru the cracks, or catch old versions on old backup drives it’s tits

>>4475794 Flash NAS for storage then I backup to external HDDs occasionally. I do video so I need the extra storage but having flash for mainline storage is so much more responsive. And if you are doing only photos, just a regular big SSD is plenty. 4TB can hold almost 60,000 61MP RAW files.
>>4477272 >what do you do other than format the backup drive and copy everything to it? This is exactly what I do once a year to two backup drives. I like the idea of syncing but I'm too disorganized so I just dump everything on them and promise myself "I'll sort it out later"

i just put mine in google drive

What's the deal with flashes? How do they help photos?

Quoted By:
>>4479646 >>4474666 They add light. Without light you cannot take a photo. They also let you control how much light is in your photo, what kind and colour the light is, how many sources of light, as well as where the light comes from.

flashes are useful because then you can shoot more light into your photo
cinefag !CiNE/YT/e6
>>4479810 Not a matter of quantity alone but of control, Zach. It's directing the light that counts. They let you put the light where you need it. Have a primer.

Brace for my third world tough environment cope thread >there's IP-rated gaming mice >there's $200 chineseium smartphones with IP69K ratings It seems like it's a fully reasonable thing to want to know just how well the stuff you want to buy holds up against the elements.. especially professional cameras >Go to purchase $6000 "pro body camera" >Canon "Dude, please trust us! The Canon EOS R1 is weather sealed! Because our marketing division said so! We don't have any proof of this, or any testing, but please trust us bro look at our brochure look at our website bro it's weather sealed bro please bro">Nikon "broooo it's the Nikon Z9 bro we sealed it just like our D6 bro remember DSLRs??? Remember how tough those were???? Yeah buddy you know you can trust us come one just spend $7000 on this camera we are the wildlife brand!">Sony They don't even try. DPReview turned a hose on the alpha 7 III and it died because there were literally no rubber seals in the battery compartment. Why do people do this? Do people actually spend tens of thousands of dollars on cameras/lenses that can't prove resistance beyond marketing teams telling you so? Why isn't the industry being forced to back up their claims?>Le rainbag meme Useless against dust & sand, and do you genuinely expect me to carry around several rainbags for different lenses, or make my own from a grocery bag and take it around with me? Its cumbersome, and its hassle.>Le "just don't take a picture! I wouldn't push my camera that hard!" Sounds like cope to me, works if you consider photography or videography a hobby and not your purpose in life, I want to take my camera to warzone, etc., anything for the picture, but I sure want my camera to survive if I do. Leica makes IP54 rated cameras. OM System makes IP53 rated cameras & lenses. Why don't more companies do so? It's not expensive to get certification, I just want camera manufacturers to be honest & upfront about how far we can push our cameras.

i think leica is too expensive why would you buy a leica when they dont have autofocus or video?
Anonymous
>>4479864 That's exactly why they buy it.
It's just a manual focus lens in front of a big sensor.

More like continuous out-of-focus
cinefag !CiNE/YT/e6
Quoted By:
>>4479729 k3k
Can you believe people unironically use AF for non-ENG video nowadays? Then they wonder why their output has no artistic value. If you want to make art you need to control the scene and that includes the focal plane. Naturally to get no artistic output you need to dispense with more things than just focusing, but it's one of the many grains of sand in their misshappen castle.
Zach
>>4479729 but then you dont have to press the button?
isnt that good
i dont get it

>>4479848 continuous doesn't mean that autofocus is always on, it means that it will not stop focusing once focus is achieved.

Wow this camera is a total piece of shit I got it for its durability, but after using it for a while it really is just awful The images are mushy and low detail and just horrible

>>4479621 Skill issue, did this with the TG-870 which is even shittier, and I shot this while taking a dump in some Seattle loading dock. git gud
>>4479631 >Ikelite housings If you buy used, which I did, three times, get an Ikelite seal kit for it. Has new button seals and all the stuff you need to re-seal the whole housing. Did it to all of mine, no leaks. Make sure you run the main seal through Vaseline or CeraVie or even Astroglide or any other silicone-based sex lube works too.

>>4475276 This is a snapshit and nothing more. In fact most snapshits have more going on for them than this.
Snapshits can have good colours, good lighting, good subject matter, high IQ and any combination of the above, but they normally only have one.
This photo has none.

What is lomography?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
LOMO is not exactly the same thing as Lomography. Originally, LOMO (Russian: Лeнингpaдcкoe Oптикo-Meхaничecкoe Oбъeдинeниe, romanized: Leningradskoye Optiko-Mekhanicheskoye Obyedinenie, lit.'Leningrad Optical Mechanical Association') was a USSR company that used to actually make professional cameras alongside plastic toys. They weren't good but they did at least try to make non-toy devices. In the 90s there was a company/group that was basically a fanclub for their toy cameras in Germany, which is where the name "Lomography" came from. They also acted as pretty much the only store you could get LOMO cameras from outside of the Soviet Union, not sure how they were importing them but they were. At the same time they were sort of pushing this cultural photographic 'movement' that focused on 'bad' quality photos, mainly the results of using shit cameras with light leaks and such. This German importer had exclusive trade deals and such with the Russian LOMO company and eventually started making their own cameras, some remakes of LOMO originals, some of their own designs, but pretty much all of them just toys. I think the Russian LOMO company is still around but they do more medical equipment and shit now, not sure if they're still connected with the German Lomography company.

Any Anons printing their photos? If so, do you prefer larger or smaller prints? I've just started getting some small somewhat crappy prints, but so far I really enjoy having my photos physically.

my guy there are two other active printing threads in the catalog (as much as they can be on a zombie board like /p/.). I'm not anti- making your own thread for whatever as that is the original intended chan culture (generals are for the gay), but like, they're as active as youll find on this board.
