Best photo organizer: I'm looking to start from scratch and organize all my photos. Problem is I have about 12 years of digital photos from cameras and phones I want to get all into one place and sift though. I think there's good AI programs to help do this now, but I don't know which one is worth a fuck. Lightroom is OK I guess it just seems to hang up and take forever if you add too much shit to it. And it's not really an organization application it's more of a quick editing deal. I'd like the program to just sift though the shit and assign keywords, which camera it was taken with, date, all of that and organize it all for me. Then I can go though and grab favorites and put things into different sections, and eventually sift out all the stuff I don't really want to keep and get rid of all that. At the end I just want folders of everything organized so I can do a couple good hard backups. Right now I have hard backups but they are all scattered and have various different attempts at organization. Any tips?

Kindly leave your ego at the door. Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged. We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras and higher) and have interchangeable lenses.

need help with modding my pentax: so a while back i bought an old k100d dslr camera so i could reap the benefits of the film-like shooting experience without firing money away on rolls in my p30. But ngl, the experience hasn't been too good. I plan to make the shooting experience more reliable with things like dedicated lithium ion rechargables, and a nicer focusing screen. But one of my concerns is its portability, know ik its silly to buy a dslr expecting it to be portable, but in my defence im very used to 80s film slr bodies which are rlly tiny compared to chunky dslrs. I plan to buy a new compact pancake 40mm lense to help out, however i also want to remove the overhanged space caused by the flash unit. My question is, can i easily just remove this chunk without accidently exposing the pentaprism or something? Oh and how do remove the flash bit so it doesnt interfere? Do i just remove the flash tube and cap off the end of each wires and shove them in the body?

Hey lads, I need actual advice for a genuinely tricky shot. I have this idea for an album cover that I'm doing which involves having a bird to perch atop the scroll ("headstock" for you guitarists) of a violin or cello. I live in Australia so we're hoping to use one our more iconic species (blue wren in pic related) which are quite tiny but plentiful. Now the question is, is this something I can realistically do or should I just photoshop it? I live next to one of the biggest bird sanctuaries in the area, so there's no shortage of birds. I do wildlife photography all the time and understand these birds quite well, but I can't just sit here for hours every day for a month, I would need some sort of strategy. If I do photoshop it, how do I make not look awful?

Micro contrast is not real. 3D pop is not real. Well, they may be real phenomena of an image, but they are not imparted by certain lenses due to certain optical designs. Anyone who supports the idea of 3D pop, Zeiss pop, or micro contrast is an anti-science luddite or a grifter. Watch any of these people try to explain what 3D pop or micro contrast is and their bullshit is self evident. If a phenomenon cannot be described using scientific language and measured objectively, it isn't real. Every time you see an A/B test for 3D pop or microcontrast, the tester is using different camera bodies, or the composition is different, the color grade is different, different exposure levels or the lighting has changed. The only other area that has so much peasant level superstition has got to be pro audio.

Basic gear facts photographers keep getting wrong: >1 - you need moar card slots You don't need 2 cards slots. You need to learn card management. Cards fail due to excessive write cycles and data fragmentation. Never cull on camera. Fill your card entirely before wiping it. If you are working for someone, use a fresh card. They're thirty fucking bucks. Problem solved. Ignore this advice and enjoy having your dual cards fail anyways. I have never experienced a card failure since the days of 1gb primitive SD cards that would 100% be filled at least 20 times in a week. I have always used single cards. You are more likely to need a full sized HDMI port than a second card slot. >2 - ETTR is an essential skill You do not need to ETTR or protect all the highlights. Even in 25 stop DR human vision some areas are pure black and pure white. As long as the areas transitioning to these don't hard clip in one or two channels the photo will look good. Expose for the subject, not for the bokeh balls and lightbulbs. >3 - flash looks bad Your cheap diffuser, poor understanding of shadow and contrast, and inability to use gels to match flash to ambient light looks bad. Skill issue. >4 - "equivalence" and dynamic range charts are useful Use your eyeballs and the shadow and highlight sliders and observe how your results will always beat the charts and be noncongruent with equivalence theories because the way cameras work on real images is actually a bit more sophisticated. Real dynamic range testing is a lost art among photographers. DXO scores were invented to be easily cheated review metrics, not anything relevant to IRL photography. Just ignore them, most every camera handles DR better than you need it to unless its micro four thirds. >5 - lens sharpness is a bar graph It is certainly not. Most often these bar graph tests are actually field curvature at 5 meters test. Lens performance varies between MFD and infinity and so does the shape of the depth of field. >6 - color science is in your camera It's actually in your lens.

Selling my Contax g2 for a Bessa: Thinking to sell my g2 set finally and get a Bessa r2a eventually. I've been using it for around 10 years and it's a great great camera but my concern is that it will eventually shit itself one day so better sell now. 2 years ago the shutter stopped working and it was just a minor issue: a gear wheel worn off so got it replaced by some german professionals. The cameras size, feel, weight, ergonomics everything's just perfect to use. As you know the VF is small and dimm but never bothered me that much, the AF is always on point though but the MF is another reason that bothers me bc you can't really accurately MF with it... Anyways i'm thinking to get a Voigtländer Bessa R2A maybe with either a Ultron 35mm or Nokton 35mm. Since the internet is fucking shit i'm depending on your opinions anons. I'd like to have a small 35mm lens. So that would be the Nokton/Ultron right ? My g2 set includes g2 body, 28mm,45mm,90mm lenses, all lens hoods, boxes, manuals, tla200 flash (will keep this one maybe) contax cable release etc. So in one hand this will bring me good money and on the other hand i will lose a great set of a brand....Give me your opionions please and post your Bessas if you own one thx.

How do we save photography and ourselves bros? Media has gone completely schizo and there is no way one single image of literally anything, not even hardcore porn can compete with what short form video has done to 99% of people's brains. The output of our hobby is decimated because of over-stimulation and information overload. Is there anything that can be done? Do we have to all get into video ASAP and accept that stills are dead? Do we start writing on blogs again like it was 2012 to go with our photos? Walling off into Flickr did not work as that platform is even more dead than Instagram. We have some of the most realistic, smartest autists online on 4chan, I am sure we can come up with a logical practical solution. inbf >just shoot for yourself >just print the photos and put them on your bedroom wall who cares lol No, this is just cope.

Autofocus no longer working: Alright so I was taking pictures with my camera like I normally do and then suddenly the viewfinder in my camera goes a bit darker. This is a DSLR so I don’t even know how this happens. When trying to take another picture the autofocus ring just makes a full turn in one direction and then a full turn in the other direction. This keeps happening when I press the shutter button. I then put the lens in manual focus and the picture is completely over exposed. I take pictures in 1/100 s and normally the exposure would be set correctly but now it seemed like the camera overexposed the image by two full stops. I also have the focus point selection set to Auto and it used to light up the squares that the auto focus would focus on but now none of the squares light up when I press the shutter button. When I manually select the focus point the square I select lights up, but the focus ring still only does one full turn. What could be the issue here and how do I fix it? It is a canon eos 50 and an old sigma 18-200 lens. Sorry for shit formatting as I am on mobile posting from where the incident happend. Thanks for any help. Also wtf happend to 4chan? How bad has the bot issue gotten?? I have to wait 900s to get the captcha?? Like wtf I have to wait 15 minutes to make a post what is this bullshit

Digital Medium Format (Macro Four Thirds) doesn't make any sense as a format. >most lenses for MFT hover around f/4, with some fast primes around f/1.7. With a crop factor of only x0.79, means you get an equivalent DOF of f/3.16 and f/1.34 respectively . Meaning that full frame actually has shallower dof in most cases. Another drawback of the f/4 average is that the aperture opening is the same meaning that the iso on MFT needs to be higher (or shutter speed slower) in order to match the exposure on an equivalent FF lens. >there is no consistent dynamic range advantage. This was the second best dynamic range MFT camera I could find on photonstophotos (besides a Phase One IQ4 ($62,000) As you can see the Hassleblad HD6 is only 1(one) stop better than an a7riii at base iso, at iso 100 there is only about 1/2 a stop difference. At 400 ISO the Sigma FP-L actually surpasses the DR from the Hassleblad. Also remember you're iso on the MTF camera will need to be higher throughout to match the exposure of the FF camera. So what are we left with? Medium format is slower, vastly more expensive, has a deeper DOF and doesn't even have a significant dynamic range advantage past the base iso under a nearly best case scenario. The older MTF cameras often have WORSE dynamic range than a modern FF camera. There quite simply is no performance-oriented reason to buy a medium format camera except where maximum resolution is required. Having more physical space for the pixels. Digital medium format is simply a luxury buy and if it wasn't for the social signaling and rarity, it would be going extinct like it's micro cousin. *drops mic*

Improving foreign trip photos: Dear /p/. Recently I took part in scientific conference in Japan and since we had some free time to spare, I tried to make as many photos I could. While they were interesting for my family, showing country much different from our own, I was wondering about what could I do, perhaps next time, to make these kind of photos more interesting for broader viewer, as in going from “nice vacation snap” to “interesting take”. Overall selected around 30 to upload here, out of around 500 (out of around 1500 I took). Thanks for any kind of help.

I love photography, but I've gotten bored with modern digital cameras. They're nice in the fact that I can shoot plenty of pics, but I just want something different. I want to do film, but 35mm just seems too expensive. Buying the film, developing, scanning, etc. There's a local place near me that does all that for 25 dollar PER roll. I have 400 dollar store credit to this camera store. I was looking at the Pentax 17. Sure, it's half-frame, but the pics look nice and sharp. But what really caught my attention was the polaroid I-2. All the manual controls and upgraded lens seem appealing. I like instant cameras, so I'm really leaning to this one. Anyone here able to vouch for the polaroid, or should I get the Pentax?
R: 59 / I: 9
Pentax is objectively correct about lens-body design. Put the autofocus motor and image stabilization inside the body instead of in the lens. It opens up the creation of some truly compact lens design once you incorporate floating apertures. Pic rel is a 35-105 f/4-5.6 FULL FRAME lens. >72x71mm (2.8 x 2.8in) >345g It's smaller than most mirrorless 18-50 aps-c kit lenses. The autofocus speed/accuracy you sacrifice by doing so is well into the range of diminishing returns for 98% of photographers It's amazing how correct one company can be about camera design and really highlights the legendary fumble in marketing Pentax has made.

Urban birding trip to asia: Hi /p/. Ubran birder here. Recently went to Bangkok/Tokyo and took some bird/landscape photos. Fedex lost my wide angle lens so I had to do it all from a 100-400mm on my R10. These are mainly sooc jpegs with the Fine picture style and +1 saturation. Sometimes edited to taste with exposure/haze. Hopefully some of these are good. I'm just a hobbyist trying to keep the existential dread at bay. Enjoy.

Gear Containment Thread /gear/: >Gear thread for all gear related questions, news, bitching, and dick-measuring competitions I personally am about to drop $2k AUD on a new Canon and want people to tell me I'm retarded one way or the other. I'm either buying an R8, R7, or R6 and can't make my mind up. Currently rocking an R10, but most of my lenses are FF. I'm kind of swaying to the R7 because of all the "pro" features and the fact I like the FoV of my current primes 24/50/100mm. However the amount of faging people do about FF just being overall superior is causing me to be indecisive. I do landscape, astro, travel snapshits, and macro primarily. I'd rather keep bulk to a minimum which is why I'm leaning towards the R8 over the R6, but like I said, call me a retard and tell me why.

R: 14 / I: 2
So the 5d I just bought has to be returned due to having haze in the viewfinder. Which now presents me with a opportunity. Do I just buy another 5d or a 5dii? I liked the images I got out of the 5d, but reading about it being basically impossible to adjust the micro focus makes me nervous. Is it a big problem or should I not worry about it? I liked also the 12mp files a lot and I don't really want to go up to 20. I found the 5d did a really good job at night. But it is tempting to have a video-capable camera as I have been tinkering with the idea of shooting some video.
