I took this photo during a thunderstorm.

Miraculously, I managed to capture a lightning bolt.

But as my camera (on my phone) scans the image from right to left, this shot came out. Half of it is covered in lightning, and the other half only shows the lightning itself, but without the flash.

A friend told me it looks cool, so I'm sharing it with you.

>Yes, I have thousands of dollars worth of electronics in my backpack, how could you tell? Yes, I am low test and likely unable to defend myself.

How do you carry your gear? I don't use a dedicated camera backpack since I don't want to be a walking red flag.

Are they better than SLRs and 35mm? They have better quality images due to larger film but less shots on a spool.

anybody here into ship photography? i've recently started shifting into it after spending most of my time shooting aircraft and airline scenes. it’s definitely a different vibe—going from runways and hangars to docks and open water. still figuring out how to handle the unique lighting challenges, especially in tighter quarters or below deck. grabbed a polarizer and a decent telephoto lens, which have both been super useful so far. still a lot to adapt to, but i’m enjoying the change.

Is a crop sensor really all that bad?

Do you ever use the formula for depth of field when you need to take a photo?

Should I get into film photography?

And remember, the only stupid question is the one you made a thread for.

1. Macro is based
2. Anything lower than f/16 is useless, anything over f/8 causes diffraction (we don't care)
3. Get a flash of some kind if you're doing handheld macro, get a softbox if your lighting is too harsh (it is)
4. 1x magnification can be overkill. Nobody cares if you hit 1x or greater, if it's framed like shit
5. 200mm for bugs, 100mm for all-purpose, lower focal lengths are memes
6. Extension tubes are cheap enough to dabble. Stick them on something between 50-200mm and go to town
7. Gear posts are allowed but keep it on topic
8. Any macro is encouraged. Bugs, plants, textures, minis etc. all welcome

Genuinely, is it an excuse to “be cognizant of the world” or something? It’s got the shell of an “art hobby” but it’s not so different from saying promoting is an art.
