New thread

Been years since I posted here, photo dump.

We rate them on the couch together, looking at them on the TV, then I delete the bad ones from our Linux server before sending a big archive to cloud.

We do this process once a year, around new year's.

If anyone is interested, I'll link the github. What other tools would you suggest that have a high WAF "Wife acceptance factor" for this process?

Give it straight to me, /p/.

Are Leica M cameras a meme? Or are they worth it?
Mainly for portraits, and rock and leaves.

1984 - 1987

So I see some absolutely beautiful sunrises at work this time of year. Realistically what kind of gear would I be looking at to get better than my phone camera (iPhone 14). Not sure on what I’m looking for, but I would also like it to be capable of low light exposure/ night time for aurora. Literally have no idea on what I need and the options available out there are worst than trying to figure out what caliber you need for accuracy out at 300 vs 1,500 yards. Is the iPhone just good enough for my amateur needs?

I shoot black and whit 'art' photos.
I print a lot. So i spend a lot of time looking at the details of each photo. especially if they're hanging on my wall.
that being said, i have a conundrum which, surprisingly, isn't well covered on the internet:

>would you say a leica monochrom, or a medium format (with more bits and more sensor real estate) would produce better black and white images?

>shot using smartphone

Continuous LED lights are terrible for photography.
This is an approximate $2400 600watt continuous LED light.
At a distance of 2 meters, it can manage 1/60 iso400 f8 at full power.
That converts to f4.8 iso400 1/200 if you wanted to get up to a barely usable photography shutter speed.
And if you want to go down to iso 100, you are now around f2.8

So $2500 gets you something barely usable on your lowest settings at approx 2 meters, any further distance and it wont work.

And if you want to use any modifier at all its all over and you wont even be able to have enough light for a photo.

In before just shoot at iso 1600, no thanks, im not spending $2400 just to have to use iso1600.

started looking at photos i shot back in 2008-2010ish and decided to do a dump.
