Let’s stop pretending twisting a dinky little aperture ring makes you a creative. Photography is the most overrated "art form" in existence. You point a sensor at something that already exists, let the light do all the work, and then slap a VSCO preset on it. Congrats, you are a visionary.
Your vintage film stock does not matter. Your “bokeh” is not deep. It is just background blur because you shot wide open on a 1.4 lens with no actual subject matter. Stop acting like shallow depth of field is a personality.
Macro photography might qualify. At least there is intention framing micro-details the eye usually misses. It forces creativity through limitation. But 99 percent of you are just fags that spend way too much time on Lightroom.
Street photographers are the worst. Hiding behind 28mm lenses pretending you are documenting “life” while waiting for someone cool to walk past graffiti. That is not art, that is content farming. Landscape shooters? You drove to a tourist spot, set up your tripod like a sheep, bracketed some exposures, and now you are preaching about dynamic range. You do not compose. You crop. You do not expose. You chimp and pray. You do not direct. You hope. Videography at least demands something. Timing. Movement. Emotion. A camera operator who actually knows their stuff can tell a story in one continuous take.
And let us not even talk about the gear circlejerk. Mirrorless versus DSLR. Full frame versus crop. “I only shoot film.” Mate. You are burning money to feel superior while still shooting the same overexposed alleyway as every others to post on some obscure photography forum because you do not have any friends.
Photography died when autofocus got fast and editing got easy. Now it is just a dopamine slot machine for people too scared to admit they have no vision and no voice.

doesnt even need to be a rangefinder actually i just want an l39 mount piece of shit for ultrawides that i can stick an external finder on.

halp pls

holy shit i cant stand seeing this irl. with no lens cap in completely pointless environments with nice glass or camera bodies just swinging around like it's a chain in a rap music video. it immediately makes me think larp status. images are probably garbo snapshits of what loading groceries up on the counter? lens cap and a vest > this cringe

Does /p/ approve of IR / full spectrum photography? Is it legit or a meme? It seems it is mostly used for landscapes, but I'm wondering what else you could explore with it, outside of forensics and other nerd shit.

Has anyone done this? Any tips?

Hello my brothers. I came here as my last resort. I placed an order for a tripod yesterday thinking I have enough money to buy it and I checked my bank account today and found out that I got charged for some stupid subscription, and I don't have enough money. I already asked for a refund but it takes ages, and I can't work as the guy at McDonald's didn't reply back to my job application. I really need the help. I'd really, really appriciate it if someone could chip in. I don't like to beg but I really want that tripod as I just spent my money on the camera and can't shoot after school, at night without one :(

Thanks in advance :+

Is there really an unwritten rule against taking photos of homeless people for street photography?

Good afternoon!
I have been an amateur enthusiast film photographer for a few years now.
I have been shooting with my Nikon N65 and the standard kit lens that it came with.
I am hoping to make my first big upgrade to a better lens.
I was eyeing a 35mm lens as I like to take pictures similar to pic related (it is an actual picture I took)

Any input is appreciated
I apologize in advance for any lack of insight

What kind of camera is this?
