at what age and how did you find that you were into photography/videography?

Reply if you're a real mf'er

this was the absolute peak of digital photography and its all been downhill after here. seriously look at the shots on flickr with this tag and how good they look. mirrorless is super sterile and fake looking, and older than the mkii just were shit to use and had too much noise.

seriously dont sleep on these, 5d mkii and some EF L glass has u covered and then u can spend the rest of the money on travel and taking kino shots.

I see a pattern. One of making the world increasingly drab to demoralize the people. Look up their early lives.

I want to share a small project I have been working on for the last few weeks. It is a self-portrait mini-series called "Authentic Sinner," inspired by the fresco of Giotto called Virtues and Vices. I tried to find the five vices that represented me the most, although I am also trying to respond to society's vices as a whole, as well as the representation of the vices in the history of art. This is obviously an ambitious project for a first-time series and was not executed professionally, but I learned a lot about executing a concept in the process... I was a bit camera shy at first but learned to perform, direct myself, and shoot with a self-timer. The outcome could have been better, upon reflection, but I am happy that I tried my hand at a creative project.
Please be as honest in your critiques as possible. I was told to work more on my angles, try to make the still life less flat by pivoting the camera more, to use dutch angles, finding better backdrops, as well as learn how to arrange a still life (mine is lacklustre). I will retake the final self-portrait (Infidelitas) because it isn't how I want it, but the prototype is good enough to show how I want it to be presented, as a (cross-shaped) polyptych.
Self portraiture is a really fascinating genre and I hope anons try to take it up in their spare time. It's a great way to express yourself and learn more about the artistic, reflexive, and ruminative sides of photography. I learned a lot about myself and the methodology of photography in the process.
If I have time, I will finish the last two sins: Inconstancy and Foolishness, but I think they bleed into the rest of the vices in the theatrical and carnivalesque ways in which I performed.

I would like a small, retro style camera for hobbyist / snap shitting type photography. Image quality is important to me, but not the end all, be all. I do not want a full frame type camera such as the ZF. I already have a D850, and actually owned a ZF for several months, before getting rid of it as the lack of grip and overall hugeness made it very unfun to walk around and shoot with. Between the OM-5 and some Fuji cam, which is the best choice?

I was the anon thay said i fucked up my first roll of film like 2 months ago. Well, I got the roll of film back, and the light had only ruined like 8 photos so, 16 were pretty ok, besides looking like shit because I'm new to this. I especially liked this photo, but it looks kinda retarded.

I feel like they're a powerful tool in a photograph.

If you had a time machine, what historical event would you shoot?
