>>3800692I'm currently on an old (ca. 2015 Core i7) MacBook Air and planning to upgrade to a 16" Apple Silicon MacBook Pro as soon as such a thing actually exists for purchase. >>3800793>Is there some reason to edit in field?Not necessarily in the field, per se, but like others have said, they're great for editing while chilling on the couch, or in bed, or on a road trip, or in a coffee shop. >>3801019>name a better alternative [to CDs for photo storage]This is actually a really good question. CDs and even DVDs or Blu Rays suck because they're so low-capacity--max you can do with even a quad-layer Blu Ray is about 100GB per disc, so if I wanted to archive my entire photography hoard that would take... many discs. I guess that's fine if you don't shoot that much (or shoot JPEGs, since they're so much smaller). And they do have the advantage that optical discs offer more shelf-stable longevity than most options. What would be a lot better is something like LTO tape drive, which has similar longevity and media prices to BD-R but the media itself is a lot higher capacity (on the order of terabytes, depending on what LTO generation you get). The big downside there is that the drives themselves are hellaciously expensive and compatibility between generations is iffy (usually they can read two generations behind, so an LTO7 drive can read LTO5 tapes but not LTO4).The plan I'm currently working on since I have some serious data hoarding tendencies is to just buy about ten hard drives, roughly one per year I've been taking pictures, and then store them in a Pelican case for long term backup, with some sort of routine where I refresh each year's drive once every month or two to make sure they stay viable and the drives themselves haven't failed.
>>3801309>also, go ask /g/ how many ssds/hdd they've had die over time? also unpredictablyThe key takeaway is that you should have more than one backup if you're serious about backups. (I say, as someone who barely has one backup)
>>3801019Just print them out if they're worth looking at. Decent quality prints should last centuries.
>>3801729>Blu Rayhttps://www.verbatim-europe.co.uk/en/prod/mdisc-lifetime-archival-bdxl-100gb--5-pack-jewel-case-43834/While I'd imagine the costs are high per disk, 100 GB seems like a shit ton for jpeg storage, assuming an average image size of about 4 MB. I think I have mixed opinions of storing raw files.Plus, the alternative I can think of is paying for cloud storage. That, or get your images printed onto 35mm slides, which probably have their own preservation issues, particularly since printed slides likely have a very different chemical make-up compared to colour reversal film.

So far, anyway.
Bros, I desperately need advice. I'm not /p/ and I need basic advice because I'm a complete n00b.So I borrowed my dad's camera and the lens somehow fell off while I was using it. couldnt have fallen more than 4 feet, but the drop caused the zoom to be completely stuck. I even put a lot of pressure into it and the zoom just won't budge at all. I'm going to drive 40 minutes into LA today to see a camera repair shop and I want to make sure I dont get scammed. I already got tricked into paying $45 for the guy to "repair" the cracked filter and replace it with a shitty basic filter because I didn't realize you could just screw it off until afterwards. I would very much like to get the zoom repaired so I can return the camera with my dad being none the wiser and so I can avoid paying $500+ for a new lens. It's the Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8. I'm wondering if someone knows how much a repair like this would typically cost. Is it even worth getting a repair like this, or are they going to end up charging me more than it's worth? Worried I will let them overcharge me if I don't go into it knowing what price to expect. Also, would it be normal for them to charge me if they take a look at the lens but aren't able to fix it?

i want to buy my first camera. this is a hobby which im planning to continue for a long time so i wanted something that's not complete bullshit and will offer me a painless start into a hobby at least once in my life. after researching about photography for 2 days i got my eyes on a used canon 700D with stock lens and about 20,000 shuttercounts for approximately 250eu / 300usd. my question is am i making a reasonable deal ? is it worth investing more for a newer model ?
I'll let you in on a secret, if you can't take a good interesting photograph with a cheap PnS then you're not going to take good interesting photographs with a more expensive setup. You need to learn the absolute basics or you'll turn into a gearfag, not a photographer.
>>3801160OP don't listen to >>3801162Get a canon t7 and go out and take pictures. you'll learn along the way, that's part of the fun.
>>3801160>canon 700DI personally can't stand Canon or Nikon's plasticky consumer DSLRs because of the lack of direct controls and the dark pentamirror viewfinder. I would recommend Canon's ##D series cameras instead, like the 50D, 60D or 70D, just for the fact that they have that much more direct control. Two command dials allows you to play with settings in manual mode much more quickly, which will encourage you to change them more frequently and therefore learn faster.
>>3801162OP don’t listen to this ho buy the nicest camera in your budget.
>>3801160>is it worth investing more for a newer model ?Get whatever you want for your first camera and just plan for the inevitability of reselling it if/when you outgrow it. I got a Sony a6000 as my first camera at /p/'s recommendation and while the raws I got out of the camera looked good and I enjoyed composing photos, I eventually found that the camera's clumsiness of the controls, poorly organized menus and short battery life were just making the experience harder than it needed to be, so I sold it and bought a used 5D Mark II instead, which was just easier to learn on and use. I don't know if I'd recommend a 5DII to a complete beginner (or a 6D, which is a little newer but only marginally more expensive)--the problem is that full frame EF lenses can be expensive (but shop it, you might find something you're comfortable with). Just giving that as an example. The 700D/T5i is popular for a reason. Get it and learn on it.

>>3801600I think your photos are good. A bit too contrasted, but that is a personal choice.Composition is ok, some are better, the fern one has a nice minimalist vibe.Overall very decent photos, not sure what could be done more with the subject, maybe find more interesting plants ?
Portrait mode looks like fucking dog shit. Why the fuck does anyone use stupid-ass garbage-ass fucking-ass feature? Let's take your perfectly acceptable picture and arbitrarily blur certain portions beyond recognition! What a brilliant fucking idea!The blur effect doesn't even look like real bokeh, rather like a water based print that got left in the rain.
>>3801889you can extrapolate that to a lot of technical things
>>3801864That's a bad image because photog decided to put overly bright and distracting highlight spots directly above the face of the model. Eyes go to the brightest spot of the image. It has nothing to do with equipment he used.

>>3802435Yeah, sounds about right for a fully working one. Lens-wise, vf/rf-wise and feature-wise it's one of the best classic folders you can get.Also check the back for the existence of a small red window. Iskras didn't have that window from factory, they have an automatic advance mechanism (it stops automatically on the next frame, that is). Any such red windows are aftermarket modifications. Either because the mechanism was broken (can happen if forced), or because people found the manual method more reliable, or some could have been modified to shoot 645 portraits.In any case if you see such a window, somebody has been tampering with the camera, and you should be careful making sure everything works as it should.
>>3802459I noticed the presence of the window in one of the pictures after I bought it (€140 shipped), I hope everything else is working properly. Thank you for the advice.

>>3802740lucky bastard
>>3802740>>3803283220 colour negative expired twenty years ago is hardly the boon you'd like it to be. IIUC 220 has a partial backing paper, so it's useless in cameras with red windows or a loading method that has a way to look at the backing paper (as on Kiev 80/88 manually-loaded backs). Not to mention the 2 extra stops of light it's gonna require, and the gnarly colour shifts (or pre-fading) that expired film is prone to.I don't suppose it was stored in a freezer, either?Still, ebay that shit, lomofags gonna eat it all up.

>>3801439>fuji has explicitly stated they chase qualities besides sharpness in their lenses.A lens's primary job is to focus light, so this is pretty worrisome.
