I made a shutter speed tester

No.4394539 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
It's essentially a copy of the PhotoPlug that doesn't cost €35, it plugs into your phone's 3.5mm jack and masquerades as a microphone while using an app called Shutter-Speed. I'll show you how to make it for less than $10:

What you'll need:
BPX38: https://a.aliexpress.com/_ooNVS3N
3.5mm male 4-pole (TRRS): https://a.aliexpress.com/_okCBOkR
4.7k ohm resistor: https://a.aliexpress.com/_oCb7WGP

Instructions:
Step 1: Take the 3.5mm plug and bridge the sleeve (mic) and ring (ground) next to it with your 4.7k resistor.
Step 2: Your phototransistor has an emitter, base, and collector lead. Snip off the base.
Step 3: Solder the BPX38 in parallel to the resistor. Make sure the emitter is connected to the ring, and that the collector is connected to the sleeve.
Step 4: Cut off the cable strain reliever and screw the plastic cover back on.

There ya go, enjoy not having to worry about exposure guesswork with your mechanical film cameras anymore.

how do these work? is it just like 1/100th f/11 with 400 speed film and hope the exposure latitude takes care of anything over exposed?

Was really close to getting a photograph of a possum except accessing my smartphone was too slow, because of a password. Note of advice for all photographers here, is to take out the password on your camera. Nothing is worse than spending too much time fiddling with your camera when the right moment is about to be lost.

Help me fix my camera

No.4386383 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Retard here, I'm trying to fix up my camera settings so it stops being so fucking blurry in close-ups, which is something that's been plaguing it even in ideal lighting. Please bear in mind that I'm an amateur photographer.

I'm going to upload some photos directly. from my camera so the EXIF data should automatically transfer over. The first will be in "auto" mode and has a noticable red filter that idk how to get rid of, the second will be with "Easy Mode" turned on

/mage/ Macro Photography General

>Cheeto Dust Covered Bee Edition

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

How can I learn and improve at photography without losing the unique spark that comes from no formal knowledge?
