This seems to be a topic which includes more unjustified opinions and shilling than researched facts. Searching the internet mainly brings you just Youtube videos, app ads and R*ddit topics where every other claim log curves in smarthpone videos are perfect and every other claim it's just a gimmick.

Modern smartphone's curves tend to default Rec709 in 8-bit and HLG or PQ in 10-bit modes. My Snoy Xperia 5 II has Rec709/HLG by default and Camera2API reports the curve (I don't know which one) has density of 128 points. Apps like Mcpro24fps, Filmic Pro can output video files with log curves applied and I'm interested how these curves are achtually produced/achieved. Some people say those are just custom curves applied over manufacturer's default curve (which may or may not include reverse tone mapping). And then there are some claims where the manufacturer's curve is replaced with the selected log curve. App devs don't reveal their methods and I can't find any credible research about it.

I want to study good photographers so that I can improve my composition skills, but photobooks are fucking expensive. I know they must be free somewhere online but I haven't had much luck finding the ones I want, ex. picrel. Any advice?

You literally just pushed one button.

hey guys, y found this photo from a old cd, I need to know where it from,

i saw this guy in the shops today looking at cakes, the funny thing about this is that he has been looking and searching for one for an hour straight. so i decided to take a photo of it just to show u guys lol

Wait, is this camera actually based?

I was reading about medium formats and I guess this is one of the current offerings on the market.

Obviously what stood out to me right away is that it has no IBIS and no interchangeable lens / stuck on f4(???).

But then, I took a look at the sample images that people have taken with it in low light, and they look fine? they look like something we could get at f2 with a Leica Q, etc.

If you're having a rough day, take a moment to sit down, close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Then, stand up and face the rest of the day with renewed energy. :)

Have you ever touched an exposed light sensor?

What does it feel like?

How do you fix and/or clean a light sensor you fucked up by touching it?
