It has no competitor

When shooting my paintings, I end up loosing some of the range and softness of the colors and values. Everything looks too saturated and "potent".
I'm using a non polarizing light filter on the lens, and on the LED lights, as to not get glare.
>Canon EOS 2000D
>F/8
>4 sec exposure
>100 iso
>55mm focal length
>white balance is set to ambience priority
these are the best setting I figured out with the help of AI.
No amount of Photoshop can save the inaccurate values and exposure.
Right is the photo I took with my phone in sunlight, and it's close to what it looks like irl.
Is the issue the lights not being powerful enough?

What are some recommended books to gain knowledge about photography? I'm thinking of buying this one, but the old publishing date makes me a bit wary.

How does /p/ feel about zines?

They seem fun. You print your stuff, distribute it however you want, and people look at it. They might toss it in the trash but at least you made an impression.

You can make them for pretty cheap. I made some lo-fi DIY-style ones with my visual art at home using just an inkjet printer, and I've been dropping them in random places for people to find.

Anyone ever make zines?

Z10 cult edition

Hi /p/ ... I have to take my Leica M6 in for repairs and they will cost $1000. I'm willing & able to paypig up that amount but it's getting ridiculous. should i just get rid of it afterwards? anyone been through this?
>it's so expensive that i baby it + dont push as hard as cheaper cameras
>1/50 flash sync speed is bad
>no auto exposure
>rangefinder composition is worse than SLR (like, shooting through a chain link fence)
>limited lens selection (no zooms, no long lenses, no fisheye)
>m mount lenses aren't radically better than SLR lenses, and already it's 35mm film so it's never going to be perfect
more broadly im wondering if 35mm is even worth it instead of digishit + a medium format film camera

>24mm to 105mm
>f/2.8 throughout on FF
Is this literally the most versatile zoom lens to ever exist?

My name is anon and despite the memes and cliche status, I do indeed love gas stations at night

What’s the highest possible resolution camera that fits in a shirt pocket and uses SD cards (not Micro SD)? Bonus points if it uses AA batteries, but USB charging is okay.
