photos of my cat Rupert that i took on my phone which at least trace amounts of thoughtful composition, as per the board rules


I like this shot because it really focuses on his face, which is cute

LEICA Reporter Jacket MONOCHROM edition

In this thread, we're going to talk about photographic fashion which is what we wear when we're photographing or filming and doing related stuffs(developing, scanning, reviewing, printing, sucking up the client's shit, etc)

What do you wear when you photograph?

What is your must have /p/hasion item?

Do you have any item you're looking for?

5.4 is out, what do we think bros?

Haven't posted in a couple of months but got a few rolls developed recently and I'm slowly going through scanning them.

Exif: Leica M3 + Nokton 50mm f.1.5 + Vision3 250D (for the first seven ones), then Aerocolor IV for the remaining four.

What makes pic related so uncanny and unpleasant to look at? Is it the lack of shadows? Why would a photographer go for such effect?

The pursuit of being in the right place at the right time to capture the perfect sky no longer holds its former value when that very sky can be synthesized from colored pixels. When a dramatic reddish dawn or an approaching thunderstorm is conjured with a few strokes in Photoshop, or when a telephone receiver in a model’s hand is seamlessly swapped for a sneaker using Adobe Firefly with context-aware lighting adjustments, the photograph was, at best, merely raw material.

Even the need for initial raw material is obsolete, as AI can generate sophisticated images entirely ex nihilo.

Even the tangible, physical nature of the print offers no reliable refuge: A picture developed on photographic paper from a negative, held in the viewer's hand, might still originate from a digitally generated negative, or the photographer might have used analog means to re-photograph a digitally produced and printed image.

In sharp contrast, painting remains a sanctuary of authenticity. Within a painting, the physical labor and the direct interaction of the artist with paint on a substrate are inherently stored and visible. The viewer holding a painted image recognizes the unique signature, the texture of the applied color, and the clear intentionality of the human creator behind it.

While robots can wield a paintbrush, they cannot yet fully simulate the human touch. The immediate, non-reproducible trace of the human creator in the finished work remains the key differentiator. Traditional, handcrafted creation is reclaiming its significance.

This shift in perception is already evident at art fairs which do not show specifically photographs: Visitors often walk past photographs but pause thoughtfully before paintings. In art, people are not seeking the perfect illusion; they are seeking the visible, verifiable, and therefore authentic trace of another human being.

Welcome to /m43/general!

m43 sisters, we are known to be adventurers at heart. While Wormfags and Snoybois debate mtf charts and x-trans rights, we go out and explore the world around us. Capturing its beauty within m43's infinite depth of field.

In this edition: I am back to m43. I've sold my huge bulky Nikon Zf after realizing that I'm way too feminine to lug around such a huge piece of Japanese technology and I got meself a brand new OM5 Mk. II.

I also got a GX9 to live out my closeted homesexual street photography urges. Picrelated is my sane financial choices in one picture. Enjoy!

Well nobody else is gonna so here we go, here's a RAW/EDIT thread.

>Daylight Landscape with Semi-Challenging Lighting.
https://files.catbox.moe/9lc3dk.CR3
>Backlit Wildlife (bin chicken) Scene. I was never happy with any edits.

>This thread is less about the merits of a particular photograph, and more about how to edit and change them. CONSTRUCTIVE feedback is great, but aimless shitflnging is for the other threads
>I wholly encourage more of you to post RAWs, as I enjoy giving it a crack myself, as do some other anons otb
>Use catbox.moe to link uploads as there is no way you will upload your RAW with the board's anemic 5MB limit
>If you post a RAW, thank you.
>If you post an EDIT, it's handy to give a quick run down of what you did, how much NR/sharpening etc., and what software you used.
