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?

I'm working on one now. My local library can't print color, only copy it, and Staples doesn't have any options for edge-to-edge printing in-store, so I can't ensure the correct proportions (and it's too expensive to chance). So~ I've ordered a cheap Canon inkjet. Thinking I'll go into the city and drop them around trendy art places, a few dozen in total. Probably will slip in some self-printed stickers of a handful of AI gens I prompted a few years ago.

My hope is that people will like what they see and maybe order a print or two from my website. Consequently, I'm trying to figure out how to offer and price art prints. Anyone have any insight?

Look at the prices proposed by other photographers in your area. And try to include a basic frame in your estimation.

Yes, they currently sell lots of important companies to China simply due the fact that they can't maintain them anymore. Other option would be insolvency. Green/left politics made electricity costs incredible expensive. The German state, as always, ignores this issue. They think with China as an investor it will benefit us (lmao).

It is in focus, just not tack-sharp. Probably the effect of diffraction from stopping down to f/16 or f/22 to get it all in focus.

I did. Stuff is in focus. It might be on the edge of acceptable depth of field, or dealing with diffraction related loss of sharpness, or even just lower quality export compression, and the focus could be slightly off too.
Could things be sharper? Yes, of course.
Could the focus be better? Probably.
Are there things still in focus? Yes.

You need to look at maybe getting a different job mate. Working extremely long hours is not good for your mental health. I know, I've done it. I know that switching is undesirable and stressful. But it would give you a new freedom in life if you did at least shorten your hours.
I switched from working long and lonely hours, to working with a few other people, on shorter hours, for the same money, and it was a far better experience.

I'm trying but it's just one thing after another. I'm getting a new clutch apparently and that's 5k. I'm breaking even at best and I need to get some money saved up so I can get out of this thing and have a life again. Every time I get a little bit of money something breaks and I'm broke again.

The good news is, at this rate I'll have a new truck by the end of the year. The clutch was one of the last wear items left. All I have left now is the injector six pack and the gearbox itself and the engine internals.

If I did the inframe, six pack, new cylinder head, new oil cooler, EGR cooler and 13 speed upgrade, I would basically have a new truck good for another 1m miles. It will cost me drastically more than that to buy a new truck.

The good news is, now I'm going to have to come home at some point and move my Jaguar now that I got it repaired so that will give me a shot to do some shooting.

Are rangefinders just point-and-shoot snapshitters with slightly more adjustability? I'm entertaining the idea of a smaller film camera but looking at pics taken by them and what they offer they seem like a glorified p&s. Am I missing something here?

Of course, but assuming two lenses are equal in everything else, the one with the short flange distance should in theory be sharper.

>There are the Global shutter, Electronic shutter. when sony finally starts to R&D for their sensors it can get fucked.
Most of the time when people are comparing rangefinders against alternatives, they're talking about film cameras. There are no e-shutters on film cameras.

>RF unit is probably the most annoying shit to handle in a camera.
No way near as bad as a mirror return. The actual rangefinder mechanisms don't usually go wrong unless you fuck with them or damage them. Mirror returns can be subject to decay from perished dampers, and will also feature more wear parts.

What's a man got to do to optimise prime lenses here? I want to take reasonably good photos without breaking the bank but I feel like I'm getting bogged down by the maths. Will I always be held back by this unexceptional camera or is it perfectly capable if you're not a retard?

Most of what you're saying means nothing. Take the photo in whatever way makes you happy.
The gear itself is perfectly serviceable with reasonably high sharpness and clarity from that lens. Shooting at f/2.8 or below will give you less ideal results but at f/4 and above the 50mm is a great performer. Sure you could get a nicer body for like $100-200 but that's up to you.
>>4493800
>I feel like it or me is just not responsive enough that by the time I figure out the focal lengths, the lighting, the shutter speed, the aperture I miss the moment and the photograph is dark and blurry anyway
Take the fucking camera off of M mode. You don't get bonus points for making it harder on yourself. Stick the thing on Program or Av mode. Program might make more sense for you now since you're struggling but I like Av mode for most use cases as you still have full control over your DoF.
Program mode does the work for you. You can still mess with parameters by 'adjusting the program' with your control wheel, it will just move your aperture and shutter speed around. Set your ISO to something that allows you to keep your shutter speed reasonably high like 1/125th.

Buying more expensive gear only gives you more controls like a rear dial or a joystick or whatever. Useful but not mandatory to take good photos.

Nigga you don't even have the photography vocabulary to verbalize why you think you suck right now. Just search for a free photography course for beginners on youtube and start from there.
You don't need to be a wizard to be able to shoot manual, just a bare minimum knowledge of exposure triangle and your camera's interface. And honestly if you can't figure this shit out with a T7 give up, you'll never make it, there's people still rawdogging T3is with the kit lens and doing just fine.

The 50mm is a short tele or portrait lens on crop. You still have the 18-55 kit zoom too? It's a cheap very lightweight but not bad lens. Shoot with that on other focal lenghts, practice composition and only get prime when/if you find focal length which works best for you. "Normal" is 30-35mm is on aps-c but 25mm could work too. Or maybe a f2.8 zoom instead of prime.

Honestly though, just getting away from light pollution on a clear night is most the battle.
You can spend a moderate amount of money on standard DLSR gear that'll get you 70% of the way, but that final push is insanely expensive; I'm talking 12" dobs, $4000 trackers, monochrome astro cameras etc. etc.

Planets are relatively bright but tiny.
You need a 4+" telescope with sturdy (tracking) mount, good video thru ocular giving 150x or so magnification and software which picks and stacks the best frames.

Whatever can be attached, takes good, not overtly compressed video and gives enough exposure control to not overexpose the planet.
