In the past twelve years that I've pursued this hobby, I've watched EVF's progress from laggy, battery-sucking, low-resolution, nigh useless pieces of shit into the crisp and refined EVF's we have today.
In your opinion, will analog ever be completely killed by electronic? Not just in viewfinders, but in other aspects as well such as buttons vs touch screens, smarter meter/AF programming vs manual adjustmensts, or crisp high-ISO settings reducing the need for fast glass.
I'm asking this in the context of mainstream, for-profit, professional...

Probably, yeah. The only professional situations I can think of where an EVF isn't objectively better than an OVF is for flash work/studio style stuff. Though that makes up a tremendous amount of "pro" work, so maybe I just contradicted myself.
>>2830572
OVF hasn't got any lag, nor does it take time to adjust to the camera settings, or to a change of light intensity/color hue.
EVF can hardly do fast action, along its focusing system.
>>2830612
Modern EVF hasn't got any perceivable lag either, and we're talking about the future, where it will only get faster. It doesn't "take time to adjust its settings" because it doesn't have any settings to adjust. A lack of features is not a feature.
EVF can do fast action just fine now (XPro2 EVF has an 85fps framerate, for instance), and will only continue to get better, very quickly. The same will be said for focusing systems.
The focusing system in the 1DxII can be traced back...

so soft yet so sharp

is it the post or the gear?
>>2830492
Shoot at a wide aperture?
It's the gear and the compositon. Notice the chain-link fencing gives a really clear gradient from sharp to blurry. It's shot at a wide aperture to give shallow DoF.

I have a 5d3 and blah blah but this cell phone snap is still one of my favorite pictures of my little dear.
I hate that it's not sharp and the background looks so busy and the lighting is bad... does anybody have any advice on what to do? I'm not an Instagram or whatever type person, I shoot sterile stock garbage that never feels as natural as this, so I'm kind of lost.
Out of all the pictures I have, this is the one I most want to print and put on the wall - but all I see are the flaws.

it doesn't look that bad, you only missed the focus. Other than that what's the deal? You said yourself you enjoy the picture because it's sincere and organic.
If you want a technically better picture obviously you should use your 5d3, play with the baby and shoot it with shallow DOF.
Do you understand the basics of photography? If not, that would be a good place to start.
>>2830360
Yes, I know a thing or two about photography.
I could mask her out and Gaussian blur the background, then flip the selection and do some contrast sharpening by playing with the frequency - but its gonna fall apart since it isn't a 21mp raw file.
I was looking more for a cell phone users opinion.

Also, it's about the moment, babies grow up fast and she's way older now, this moment was the highlight of that first 3 months. I machine gunned it so I've got others but none of this is my cup of tea.

have someone ever used the services of a photography travel guide? someone who takes you to the best locations to take pictures. what is the fair price for the service? thanks for helping
>someone who takes you to the best locations to take pictures 5000 people have also done before
why bother
>>2829647
go by yourself. Guides have some rules you must follow, boring rules.
>>2829738
like he said, pictures everybody already shot, so why bother?
Here's the deal, get this travel by yourself, use your time to find some unique place and unique lighting, even if the subject is far known, you can take some nice photos.
Like this one I took in Torres del Paine, chile. It's a national park with thousands of people every SUMMER, so what I did? Find some other view and wait for another events to happen. I was in a forbidden place while snowing to take that picture, a guide would allow me to do so? Of course not, so why bother with guides? Do it yourself.
*guides can be a nice idea for first know the place tho

Soft light and lifted + tinted shadows. Do you see how everything that should be black isn't black?

i like that effect (black is not really black but gray)
So my friend has been getting really into photography and I've always been a real pyro so lately we've been taking pictures of me on fire/with fire. Pic shown is me with a molotov.
So the question is this: What do you guys think would be a cool fire picture to shoot? Get me some great ideas and we'll start burning.

Why do Nikon insist on making the front plate plastic these days? Even the D500 has this shit now... How much weight/cost does this really save??? Does anyone have any other explanation than Nikon just being a bunch of fucking faggots?
>>2828690
Pain in the dick to do wifi/nfc with full metal bodies. Also, fuck you for making a thread for this idiocy.
Because CFRP is stronk
Because it's easy to replace
Because you really didn't need that extra metal
Because metal would have been weaker for the same weight
Because it's easily replaceable
Because the future is now
Just keep using your D300 grandpa

Not that much smaller and the 1.8 is faster.

I saw a guy walking around Belfast city centre with a babby Canon of some kind locked into what was basically a steering wheel.
Does that actually steady the camera at all?
It looked completely rigid so any shake in his hands was still going to be affecting it.
bend your knees, arch your back, flex your gutes, add some weight to your camera maybe, battery grip something like that
rigs do help with balancing the weight around, especially the steering wheel ones, most of them will still look handheld though just not terrible unusable mess handheld (see cloverfield)
>>2827440
Those rigs are sick. A lot of professionals use them. Big and heavy though.

I like the contrast between the old and new architecture layout. The colors are well balanced. But I would crop it about 20% to narrow the composition.
