2025 Halloween in Itaewon and Hongdae, Korea
10/31~11/1

Out of focus edition

1/100


And if you have some from the halloween you would like to share, please do.

Why are photography YouTubers so shit? They mostly churn out boring nontent while dressing like a copy of a copy of a copy of someone who thought he might closet cosplay Ansel Adams. Who are they aping?
Almost all have the cadence and tone of a best buy sales associate either slowly conniving a golden HDMI cable sale or postponing their suicide on a Sunday evening only since their parents are still alive; with no in-between.
I meet smarter and more interesting people IRL at camera club or local stores, so it's not as if this hobby is exclusively for people prescribed Klonopin and SSRIs.
Half of them are just talking head slop direct to camera talking about what gear to buy (micro four nerds)
The ones that do teardowns and repairs of gear are usually fine, but those aren't exactly photo videos at that point.

The only guy that does the "video of taking photos" thing I can stand is Nick LoPresti since he doesn't talk like he's constipated, but lately the lack of constipation has become a problem since he's been diarrhea-shitting up my sub box with low-effort commentary videos sitting in front of a green screen. Idk who he's aping there, 2016 twitch? Don't like it, especially one where he and his wife are politisperging about shit like how "they can't use Google search for inane things because it'll track you" for what feels like several minutes.

Snappiness may be my second favorite even though he looks and talks like a queer (he has kids so I guess he isn't technically). At least he does ridiculous things with cameras that are more interesting than "I walked and took a photo of something and had some ennui about it".

Also, I hate gxAce with a passion, dead horse of a gimmick beaten into dust at this point. 80% of his videos serve no purpose to the modal viewer since they're just a rain-dance to the corporate marketing teams to get them to send him gear. (Also combining sloppy wet deep-throat glazing prose with an aloof tone is uniquely excruciating to listen to.)

Snoybob Edition

Old thread autosaged. Dumb questions go here.

Spent two hours at the local book market today. Reached the place a little while before sunset, pushed through my anxiety and tried my hand at taking some photographs.

Feel free to post any pictures you /p/ros took at any book fair or local market in your area.

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

Well nobody else is gonna so here we go, here's a RAW/EDIT thread.
I've provided some of mine, a few of which I've edited in the past but also a few I've never touched. Links:

>Daylight Landscape with Semi-Challenging Lighting.
https://files.catbox.moe/9lc3dk.CR3
>Backlit Wildlife (bin chicken) Scene. I was never happy with any edits.
https://files.catbox.moe/ctd0mg.CR3
>Interior Low-Light Figurines.
https://files.catbox.moe/l1fmr2.CR3
>Panning Motorsport Scene.
>also pic rel own edit
https://files.catbox.moe/c84va5.CR3

>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.

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.
