Would painting the back of my camera's film door with vanta black make halations go away?
Should I shoot raw+jpeg?
>>3880588thats a man
>>3880624it depends. shoot raw if you need the utmost editing flexibility (recovering shadows, highlights, dynamic range, retaining IQ in higher iso, etc). shoot jpeg if you want the effect straight from camera, smaller file size, faster transfer, but less flexibility when editing. if you need both, it's fine.
>>3880624Shoot in RAW, pirate Adobe LightroomJust importing to lightroom and clicking the AUTO option will give you far better results than your onboard camera JPEG exports.
>>3880631Don't care.

>>3877661>Imagine showing someone your photo and then saying "and I set the ISO MYSELF!"Holy shit lmao. I am unironically never setting iso manually again.
>>3879713>landscapes, studio portraits and architectureThere's tons of styles in those faggot.Let me guess, you shoot street and think using B&W makes you an artist.
If you think that one of your biggest contributions to a photo is adjusting a setting that can be easily automated by 1970s-era consumer electronic technology, you’re likely correct, but you should also probably be trying harder to add value to your photos beyond that.
Pro: you can give your camera to a monkey and they'll take photos indistinguishable from your ownCon: monkeys are pretty smart and have unionised so good look fighting the court battle of IP rights
>>3877559>pros and cons of using auto iso?Modern auto ISO with your own limiter will do what you want in almost all situations OTHER than when using strobes.
Where do you dumb dumbs think photography is headed as we slowly march into the future? Compact bodies died ten years ago."Real" camera sales are circling the drain. Photokina is dead.Instagram is dead.Flickr is dead.Product photography is dead, all the big companies now use CGI for ads.There are no great, famous photographers generating headlines like Gursky did two decades ago. What's left? What's the future hold? Will video kill the photography star? Will it even survive as an art form?

>>3880332You can color correct in post, but it's not optimal, because your photo never exposed enough of some color frequencies in the first place. So you can remove the yellow cast, but the photo will look noisy because the blue channel is severely underexposed.The correct way to compensate for artificial ligting with films is to use filters like 80B or fluorescent filter when making exposure.
>>3880335It means that the film can "see" a wider range of light to dark in a single exposure. Wide latitude means you can get detail in both the highlights and shadows. Slide film is known for a very narrow latitude - if there is a big difference between the highlights and shadows, you can't get detail in both.
>>3880332Here's a quick way to figure out how efficiently you can correct white balance in post: look up the filter needed to correct the white balance for the lighting conditions you have. Then check how many stops that is. The more the stops, the harder it will be to correct with acceptable quality.1/3rd of a stop is easy to correct, 1 stop and above is hard. Tungsten for instance needs an 80A filter, which is two stops. This will be hard to correct because effectively if you shoot unfiltered, you're underexposing the blue-sensitive layer by 2 stops, and negative film doesn't record much when underexposed, so lots of the blue information is lost.If you want best results, you need tungsten balance, there's no other way around it.To achieve that, either use an 80A filter or tungsten balanced film (only cine film comes in tungsten now), if you have access to it.Alternatively, use flash, since flashlights are daylight balanced.There are ways to achieve very natural results with flash *and* tungsten light indoors, if you're up for it. The trick is to *almost* balance flash with the tungsten in terms of temperature, as well as give soft "natural" looking light.For the softness, you bounce the flash on a ceiling or wall.For the *almost* balancing with tungsten light, you use a CTO gel on the flash, say a 1/2 strength. Then also a filter on the lens that cancels out the flash, say an 80C. Such a filter will give almost neutral illumination to everything lit by the flash, and the rest of the tungsten lightsources will be visibly warmer but not too yellow (this is the reason for the almost matching the sources with the flash, if you match them completely they'll turn neutral white and not look very natural). Then you can finetune colour temperature in post a bit, adjusting to taste for atmosphere.
>>3880335>what does that mean exactly?It normally means the having the ability to record details from quite dark areas to quite bright areas in a contrasty scene, without losing detail to "crushed" shadows (i.e. turning fully black) or "blown" highlights (i.e. turning fully white).Negative film has, usually, a wide latitude. The less contrasty a film is, the more latitude it has.Almost all of this latitude though is towards the highlights, i.e. it'll be fine a bit (or a lot) overexposed, but not underexposed.Contrary to what the article states, no film has 2 stops underexposure latitude (i.e. turning fine if underexposed two stops).Realistically it'll be fine half a stop underexposed, or maybe 1 stop at most and that is a stretch. 2 stops underexposed won't be very usable, shadows will be completely crushed and full of colour casts, exacerbated from the scanning software that will try to bring them up. So when you're in doubt, with negative film, it's safer to overexpose.>and then pushing/pulling during dev?No not that. Just shooting under/over (or shooting a very contrasty scene that has very dark parts and very bright pars), but developing normally.Pushing or pulling in colour film is used much more rarely than in B&W. Mostly because you get crossover (colour casts in shadows *and* in highlights, different to each other) that is hard to correct. You'll have to either live with a cast in the shadows, or in the highlights, since correcting one makes the other worse.Some films behave better in that regard, i.e. their crossover is more limited when pushed, so if you *have* to push you're better served by those films.But this is clearly stated/advertised as such, and not included in the generic statements about latitude and dynamic range.Btw anon that article you linked is not very good.Comment too long.

I'm not totally against using filters - they just seem a bit of a hassle if I want to take a quick snap indoors.
i am sorry that a thread had to die for this but I don't know what to do guys. i need to hear some wisdom or common sense.I'm a cinema student in a third-world country and I've got almost zero experience with cameras. should I invest half of my wealth and buy xt4 with an 18-55 kit lens? because I really don't want to buy a new camera in the near future or changing my career plan and xt4 seems solid. the answer might be a clear yes but i also think I didn't use my android phone's camera to its limits. i mean i didn't shoot anything which makes me said "i wish i had a better camera" and it makes me self-doubting really. learning how to operate a camera and being able to apply for jobs are big advantages but then buying a cheaper camera comes to mind. what do you guys think I should do?
>>3876227>in my autism echo chamber everyone downloads movies in 4K!who would have guessed, you should try going out
>>3871674As long as you make 1 movie it'll be all worth while
>>3871674>invest half of my wealth and buy xt4 with an 18-55 kit lens?Nope. If you’re just starting out, pick up something like an X-T30 or even something older like an X-T200, and get it used if you can. It won’t be as good as the X-T4, but if all you’ve used is a cellphone, it’ll still be a huge step up and won’t cost you half of your money. Don’t upgrade to the shiniest high end camera until you can clearly articulate why you need something better.

What focal length is closest to the human eye?
>>3873382That's distorted because it was shot with a fisheye lens, dummy. Fisheye lenses introduce optical distortion, which is distinctly different from perspective.
