>my body turns on so it's not outdated
Yeah, it's not like there are other functions of a camera body than it turning on...
An outdated focus system = lost shots.
Outdated metering system = incorrect exposures.
Outdated sensors and noise algorithms = grainy ugly shots, that can't be fixed in post without losing major detail since the camera lost too much before it ever made it to a computer.
Low resolution sensor = maybe picture looks fine at postcard size with you never doing any significant cropping. No way to circumvent this other than buying a better body.
Upgrading every single new camera is usually inefficient, but people who claim a 10 generation outdated piece of electronic hardware isn't deficient are just fucking delusional hipster faggots who are so talentless they don't care how bad their output is.
>>2826149
Beat me to it - one of the most retarded points.
I have the original Macintosh 128K from 1984. It can turn on, it's not outdated!! 100% Functional!
>>2826149
The point usually refers to the fact that it produced fantastic photos when it was new, and it produces the same photos now.
The D810 is a fantastic camera right now. In 10 years, there will be cameras that make it look like a rebel, but in reality, it will still be a fantastic camera.
How do i take a good portrait? I'm trying to take some nice pictures of my siblings for their first communion to have. The only problem is that i'm not sure what the best settings would be and i feel as though my angles aren't too great. I also have an issue on the background that should be used. I have a d3100, kit lenses, 35mm F/2.5 (hard to manual focus well) and 100watt cfl bulbs/ clamp lights that i bought thinking i could use as a cheap light kit.
you give a middle eastern man space clothes and put him behind an ocean with the debri of his space ship
>how do i take a good portrait?
>but i dont know how to use a camera, i cant take a picture right, and i cant figure out a background
>>2826024
You find a good subject, and find a setting that fits with what you're trying to say about them. You then find light that fits the mood of that statement, and arrange it in a way that is flattering to the subject (or unflattering, depending on your goal). You then use your people skills to coach an expression/pose from the person that matches all of the above.
There is no recipe. Being good at art is hard. You have to come up with a lot of it yourself.
Need a good wireless microphone for my a6300. Any suggestions?
>>2825767
If it's for blogging outside or recordingstuff like your picture I'd recommend a hotshoe microphone or a wired lavalier instead.
Hotshoe microphones are inherently cheaper, so at the same price you can get a better one, with the extra of being able to record several people with a simple setup and a slightly better noise isolation in windy days.
Wired lavaliers have the ibvious disadvantage but you can multiply the inputs just by adding a cheap 1 to 2 or 1 to 4 jack input adapter to your camera.
Also both systems are more reliable than a wireless lav. Only perk of wireless is long distance flexibility and freedom of movement, but even that can be fixed with a hotshoe wire and the hotshoe mic to move it around folowing the subject without moving the camera itself.
If not, then go to youtube, type "lok digitalrev what's in my camera bag" and buy the same system, but prepare your anus/wallet.
>>2826852
Sage and redirect to a fucking gear thread, ya dingus
I have a Rode VideoMic Pro. It goes in the hotshoe or you can put it on a boom.

Critique...
Posing is cringeworthy. Photo itself has good technical quality.
>>2824936
lol yeah they aren't models don't worry
>>2824935
close your legs, move your hand away from face, look classy not faggy. Shit edit but 10/10 framing
so i previously made a thread with most of these pictures asking for critique. i had not edited any of them and that was strongly suggested to say the least. i got lightroom and watched one fairly basic tutorial and took it to my pictures.
they turned out better than i thought for very minimal effort it felt like. i'd like to have more judgement on these and hear about potential improvements.

So I ran into the photography of Randy Scott Slavin and these kinds of pictures look so cool and I want to know how I can do this.

Google tiny planet panorama tutorial.
Flip it upside down before you wrap it around polar coordinates.
Easy peezy, which is why you'll lose interest very quickly.
>>2824280
Stitch / steal an equirectangular ball panorama, load it in Hugin, make stereographic projection with ridiculous field of view.
Yeah why are you so interested? Its a neat gimmick, but thats all there is to it, it wares out quickly, like HDR, color splash and other photo memes

Why didn't anybody created an universal lens mount?
Sigma, Tamron, Tokina could create all the lenses from now on to an universal mount.
Then the lenses is attached to an adapter to fit the desired camera.
Then if you have multiple systems, all you have to do is buy multiple adapters for each camera brand and buy only one lens.
Why won't they do it?
Micro four thirds is the modern example.
There are several older versions, like M42, M39, etc.
The reason you don't see it more frequently is that camera manufacturers aren't really camera manufacturers, they're lens manufacturers. The camera, for the most part, is an afterthought, a reason to get you to buy lenses.

Question: does /p/ think this is shopped? The Mexican govt posted it and has even made a press release saying it is not shopped. Does the Mexican govt really not care at all?
of course bro. the fov of the background does not match the perspective of the image with people. the lighting is too unbalanced cuz their clothing shouldn't look so bright next to the shady surroundings.

I know, right! Thanks for the input.
>>2823488
worst photoshop job ever.
They got the light direction wrong (glaring forehead lights + people with no hard light at all)
They got the metering wrong (completely different exposure for the photoshopped people compared to the background)
Perspective and focal length are obviously both wrong for a group of people that close and a background that large.
If it wasn't kept so intentionally low-res you could zoom in on the bodies and see the fake edges where they were copy-pasted onto the background.

He will post someday again.
Probably is out there taking photos.
Weather is kinda bad right now in Santiago but I dont think that matters that much to take street photos
Went out to shoot today, found a neat abandoned warehouse/office building. Didn't get inside but the scenery was still nice.
Still new to photography, so honest and constructive critique please.

Since Ubuntu 16.04 just got released, why not share some experiences with Linux Programms?
I am currently struggling with RAWtherapee and Darktable. I try to decide between the two, but they make it so hard.
When doing anything but editing photos, RAWtherapee seems the one to go. Great file system, browsing, external editor integration, slider organization, saving, exporting, saving different profiles for the same pic, etc.
But when it comes to actually fotoediting it is kinda meh. Many things seem to be done by several different things at once.
Meanwhile, Darktable is the exact opposite. Its filing system is horrible, it spams .xmp files into your photofolders, it can't detect cameras for shit, it doesn't say where it imports to, its menus are barely anywhere to be found and I haven't actually found out how to EXPORT the goddamn pictures yet. Also, it doesn't seem to support several seperate editings of the same photo.
But when editing photos: OH YES. Just slap two sliders, brush over another one and BINGO, perfect. You can even favourite specific modules.
Does anyone have similar experiences with the two? I feel like I am not good enough at this yet to fully understand this issue
>>2822811
I want to give everyone an example.
Take this file.
I took the duplicate RAW of this and put it in both programms. I first edited it with Darktable and edited a few things. It started to look awesomely battered and the canvas/leather of the shield had a slightly ochre colour while the red painting was still red.
In RAWtherapee meanwhile, I had almost everything emulated to a tee, even the depened shadows and local contrasts, but I just couldn't get the canvas/leather from being a similar shade of red as the paint. Bear in mind, that Darktable doesn't even have seperate colour-curves (or at least I can't find them anywhere), but RAW therapee does.
Is there a good tutorial that can tell me what all these different things like luminosity, chromatiicity, etc. all mean and hwo to apply them?

have you tried darktable's user manual? eg:
http://www.darktable.org/usermanual/ch03s04s04.html.php
>>2822837
Thank you. I finally found the chapter about exporting.
Also, I guess I'll have to learn to live with the sidecar files.
Created this with Darktable.
Somehow I can create images with way larger contrast-ranges with Darktable than with RawTherapee
