my tumblr still goes well but ive been on it years. the good thing about tumblr is each reblog counts as a new webpage for google indexing and that helps proliferation if you've branded your photos with your name or alias.

>>3702021
Good for you...my tumblr engagement is at an all time low lol. I've got 7000 odd followers but people left in numbers when Yahoo took over...which is a shame because I always liked it as a platform. Currently pointing my domain at it until I can be bothered to sort out a proper site.

>>3702040
Maybe if they get bought out by a company that knows what it's doing it can pick up some new members. It got it's reputation trashed by porncels and SJWs but a lot of the former are gone now at least.

I think social media can be valid if you use it to share things amongst a tight group, or to share your work/expression with a wider audience that's legit and cares about you.

The problem is that social media is not for these purposes. Not anymore anyways. Instead it's designed to 1.) get you addicted 2.) collect your data 3.) sell you shit through "sponsored content". I think more and more people are awakening to the ills of it. Facebook now isn't what it was in 2008 when I made an account. Instagram is not the same platform it was when it started. YouTube no longer uses the slogan "broadcast yourself". Why do you think that is?

No, it's not reactionary. The internet is becoming heavily corporate driven, it's owned by corporations and advertisers now. If you need anymore proof, just look at the above URL; it's now 4channel to distance itself from 4chan, because advertisers didn't want to share a URL with NSFW porn boards, or /pol/ and /b/.

Check the p archive for the preset share threads. The torrent packs are the best but the thing is you'll have to test out each preset individually to know what it looks like on your images.

I get photoshop for free through my university, but theyre too jewish to pay for lightroom

I've been using cracked editions of Photoshop since 2009 and nobody's ever come knocking on my door. Adobe is 100% aware that hobbyists and amateurs pirate their shit and they don't really care unless you're generating income directly from their software.

>>3695409
>can people find out I pirated PS just from the metadata?
no

adobe continues to run in background and can't be killed, it's basically a spyware.

>>3702022
How are they aware if its not in the metadata?
>>3702047
Basically all software is spyware today. Even ms office phones home, skype works as a literal botnet, discord etc.

sorry it's OOF - i had to slide behind a chimney to get the back off, without it all falling over... the tripod is nigh on useless.

Back at the turn of the century, George Eastman was building his Kodak empire, buying up all the little guys one company at a time and selling his products in their market until he basically had a huge monopoly.

The problem is, he couldn't put his name on the products he bought up, so he sold them as kits that you either built yourself or paid someone else to build. Most of the time those kits once built, had no markings or anything on them to identify them, and that might be what you have here.

I have a 5x7 like this, no markings or anything, all wood and brass.

If you think that shooting photos of assholes' on a wedding/events/meetings and following them like a fucking dog or a slave then you have never "made it"
There's no difference between you and a stoner working for McDonald's

If you have few published photobooks and gallery exhibitions in you career then sure you have "made it" and I am jealous of you and my post was a cope from this failure.

>>3702037
I know absolute idiots who take photos of pictures on their computer screen who have been in gallery showings—art is not only subjective but it's now degenerate. It's a matter of ticking all the privilege boxes and making your own bullshit believable so that rich white liberal gallery owners feel like you're making a statement.
A wedding photographer has a minimum expectation of quality that they have to delivery—something that soulless artists can't hope to achieve.

>>3702042
>art world favours some girfters
colour me surprised. but time filters most of the garbage
for me art is one of few things where you can have some sort of "freedom" but when you start giving a shit about the viewers and monetary value then you literally commit one of the biggest crime
commercial photography is commercial there's nothing artistic about it other than few surprises here and there every few years. it's the soulless corporate music equivalent of photography.

The act of photographing is easy.

"Good" photography depends on your interest and past experiences that may lead to an image resonating with you or not.

>>3698184
>Is painting too easy
Yes, just draw some birds and shit on the canvas or throw some paint and call it abstract bro

>is music too easy
Yes, just start making sounds with your mouth for 3 minutes and call it a song bro

>is film too easy
Yes, just start record with your phone for like 4 minutes and call it a film bro

>is photography easy
Yes, just take few snaps with your phone and call it your portfolio bro

Noobs and non-photogs think it’s easy. In reality there’s a massive gulf between decent photogs and the pros.

Depends, both are ok but I'd suggest 400 because exposure times can get rather long with large format and grain is not such a big issue.

>>3697254
>exposure times can get rather long with large format
do i meassure differently when i shoot 4x5 ?
or do i just measure with my lightmeter as usual ?

>>3697304
Lenses are slow and it's not unusual to shoot stopped down to f/16 or more.

>>3697305
oh my bad i've forgot about that..thx for the reminder !

I have a 12-24 nikon f/4 DX lens now but it was dropped years ago and I think the IQ from the lens is fucked. nothing ever looks sharp anymore. Should I look for another 12-24? 10-24? 17-35?

>>3698213
Damn that sucks...I've got the Tokina 11-16mm DX ii (I think you can get the first version as your D7000 has an internal auto focus motor if I recall correctly) and I'm happy with it so that is always an option. I'm not up to date with what's out there atm so can't help much more than recommending the Tokina.

Upgrading firmware seems to be quiote easy.
I just updated my em10ii last night.

>>3701193
I'm in a similar boat. Got the M10 II and would like to have in body focus stacking for macro shit. the M5 iii looks a bit cheap with all that plastic and the m 1 ii is not much more expensive so i will probably end up with it. picked up the 12-40 pro some weeks ago which is stunning: sharp, can be used as macro, beautiful bokeh, weather sealed, focus clutch

it's a retarded, faggy meme that is really overplayed. People groan, not because it's offensive, but for the fervour with which you repeat it over and over, telling yourself it's clever and funny. Insisting people are offended because it makes you feel good doesn't make it true. It makes you a fragile little fag. Go get your nails done, like the cunty little faggot you are.

Good photos!

>>3701481
Gotta say anon, that piece of glass gets a really cool aesthetic

Otherwise no real advice aside from a suggestion to get into zone focusing through the scale on your lens, lack of a decent manual focus friendly focusing screen in a DSLR is a bit of a pain

>Most renowned contemporary photographers come from all walks of life and do not gain a sustainable income from direct art sales.
I'm saying there's a checklist. Is it negative, sloppy, or bad? Is there no reason for this to be successful? If it is successful for no reason, is the photographer jewish? In this case, Friedlander fits all of them.
