How do I get over the fear of using my camera in public? I got a fancy camera but I've never taken any shots with it because I'm too scared to go outside with it and use it

Okay so in short, I'm part of a horticultural society that has a yearly photo contest. The voting for the contest recently ended a couple of days ago but the winners won't be announced for a while. I want your opinion on the entrants to the contest. I'm not going to tell you which are mine, because I don't want your bias to taint your analysis. I will tell you that 6 of the 34 pictures are mine, so feel free to guess which are mine. I do have a fairly consistent style.

How do you sell a photo for over a million dollars?

Do you develop and scan your own film or send it off to someone else? AT what point doe it become worth it to develop your own rolls rather than sending it to someone else?

So, which of the big companies is going to be the first to offer an affordable 100mp camera?

Fuji is obviously already out there, but this thing is Eight thousand dollars. I suspect that when it happens (eventually) it will be Nikon.
I feel like historically they are the company which has introduced high end features at a lower price.

Why has the world abandoned photo shoots of good looking women?
99% of anything I see now is selfies and if its a photoshoot its just to sell clothing or some super generic looking agency testshoot.
10 years ago or whatever the world was full of every good looking girl doing multiple photoshoots just for content.
What happened?

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?
