Does the new version still work by taking a picture of a focusing screen and thus resulting in absolute shit tier photos?

>>3661655
Yes.

It's definitely cool.

This is not something targeted towards purist assholes like pretty much all of /p/, myself included. This is supposed to make photography fun again

I'm thinking about getting one for my Yashica Lynx 14e. Most of you have forgotten how to have fun. There's nothing wrong with snapshitting, there's a time to be technical and a time to just have fun. In my bag, with my Df, probably 5 or 6 grand worth of glass, is a Nikon Lite-touch point and shoot 35mm. I have some shitty 2mp digital cameras for the /dst/.

Go out and have fun again.

1. Don't try to put your penis in her.

2. Look at her wrists. Is there a hair tie on one or both of them? Have her take that off. This is also advice to me because I never fucking notice that until I'm editing the fucking pictures.

3. Also look at her teeth periodically to make sure she doesn't have lipstick on it. YES, I'M TALKING TO YOU AGAIN, ME FROM THE PAST, YOU UNOBSERVANT TWAT.

4. Confirm beforehand (like, before she shows up for the shoot) how much nudity she's comfortable with. Don't try to push her beyond her comfort zone. You might be successful in doing it, but that's not a good thing, and will come back to bite you on the ass eventually. /p/ will regard this advice as making me a "beta cuck" and/or a "faggot" and tell you to push your model's boundaries, and at the same time they're shocked and appalled at all of the women "making up" stories of male photographers making them uncomfortable. Don't be like /p/.

5. Put some music on. Talk to your model during the shoot. Even if you're just rambling about your camera settings, try your best to keep the conversation flowing. Especially for new models, it can be a weird and uncomfortable situation. Talking to her makes it feel more like she's hanging out with a friend rather than being observed by a creepy dude with a camera.

6. If you get a really good shot, show her. Boosts her confidence in herself and her confidence in you and makes her feel more excited about the shoot.

7. Always ask before touching your model in any way. Even if it's just moving a hair that's out of place, ask first. Photographers getting too touchy with their models is a big complaint I've heard from my models.

I hope you noticed that your subject is out of focus. Your camera probably failed to pick up the face and focused on the center (or you manually focused to infinity). If this was meant to be a portrait, then obviously this is the wrong way round.

Otherwise
> nice location
> nice depth to the bakcground
> nice lighting on the background
> harsh lighting on the subject

Either focus on your subject and let the background blur out, or have her move further away so she fits into the scene better. Maybe a flash would help to even out the light hitting her face/nose.

I feel like the DOF is so shallow that the bokeh itself becomes too distracting.

Also the yellow bokeh balls on the first shot between the couple are taking attention from the subject (right on the guy's nose). Yellow's a strong color so your eyes kind of go towards it.

Maybe hes laundering dirty money though a photograph business

I'd guess he's looking to make quick money by doing gigs as a "professional" photographer without actually having a real resume.

>>3661572
Why do men in their 50s do strange things? There are more reasons he could be doing this than days in the year. My best guess it that he attempts to live some kind of false identity with people he meets, he may be trying to impress them or the reason may be more sinister than simply impressing people.
I would not work with this man on general principle. If he is willing to lie this deeply he is not going to be a trustworthy person to do business with. Simply call/email/however you have been in contact with him and politely tell him something has come up and you are unable to fulfil your obligations.

>>3661572
Why do you autists even care? Is he taking money from your pockets, using YOUR photos illegally etc? This board isn't for your personal crying and witchhunts. Take it to /b/ or reddit

I used to sell stock under a pseudonym many years ago. I didn't want my full time employers knowing that I as doing it because reasons.

>Someone gave me an old Canon that sucks compared to modern smartphones and it left a bad taste in my mouth.
learn the exposure triangle, shoot raw, and color grade. i think you are looking at the pretty effects modern smartphones glob on to make the user happy. you have to add it yourself on the canon. the canon was more than sufficient. disclaimer, i am an amateur photographer.

I always shill this.

>>3653777
This board is very different from /g/. $400-600 you say. Okay, here's a primer for you, i'll try to keep it very simple:
1. You are not looking for a DSLR, you are looking for a mirrorless camera. Look up the difference yourself.
Since you are going to be taking family photos on vacations mostly, an APSC or MFT Sensor sized camera would suit you the best. Full Frame sensor cameras have better low light performance, but they're larger, pricier, and have pricier lenses.

2. What do you want from the camera itself? Do you want to take mostly pictures, or mostly video? Or a bit of both? Or mostly pictures with occasional video?
Based on that, decide between APSC and MFT camera bodies. MFT bodies are a bit nicer for video because the newer MFT bodies (from Panasonic and Olympus) usually have better stablization, to prevent shaky footage. If you're interesed in taking pictures mostly, then go for APSC bodies (Sony, Fujifilm, Canon M) because they have a bit better low light performance.

3. Do you see this as a one time investment/novelty thing, or do you intend to get into photography? Based on that, you might want to go for an interchangable lens camera, or you could go for a fixed lens camera. Changing lenses gives you a lot of flexibility, but native lenses also cost decent $$ and that will depend on the brand and MFT/APSC/Full frame thing. So if you see this as a gateway to get into photography and you can see yourself putting more money into this, then go for an interchangable lens camera. Otherwise, a fixed lens camera/point and shoot would be good enough for you.

Now, for cameras I'd like you to check out. I'd reccomend buying used, unless if you really need warranty (then try your local camera stores for used ones), otherwise buy online - BnH or Adorama or MPB or Ebay just do some research.

Fixed Lens:

>>3659694
continued -

Interchangable lens:
Fujifilm XT2 (APSC, for stills and video both)
Fujifilm XE3 (APSC, stills focused)
Panasonic GX85/80 (MFT, good for video)

Pair these with a zoom lens (18-55 for Fuji is really popular, someone can suggest you one for the panasonic) and you should be good, well around 600 or even less based on what you chose. I haven't used Sony or Canon or Nikon or Olympus so I wouldn't list one for the heck of it, do your own research (or go to a store as the first post said).
I'll also personally reccomend a Fujifilm camera if you're only interested in vacation photos, because their film simulations produce beautiful JPEGs. I guess you wouldn't spend hours learning how to edit RAW files properly - it doesn't take that long, but you can still just let the camera produce nice looking JPEGs for you. Good luck OP.

Buy the Sony Xperia 1 II when it comes out. It's literally the only choice for anyone who cares about photography.

>>3661294
Look at Saul Leiter's stuff, out of focus technique, reflections, shooting into mirrors and glass, telephoto to compress and isolate, blocking your foreground with objects like umbrellas and cars, longer shutter speeds for blurring, exposing massively in favor of highlights and not giving too much away at first sight etc.

Thanks mate. I am to young remember the real older parts of HK in person. Should've known better as the star-ferry one doesn't have any clock towers.

>>3660949

Very cool, thank you. They are labeled as Taipei from the seller but some of the slides are labeled with Hong Kong locations I had a feeling it was HK with all the British cars roaming about, once I scanned them and saw some of the locations.

I have been busy working weird hours but I will get back to scanning the rest of these soon. I also figured out how to get a filter on it, it's a Nikon ES-1.

>>3656458
>yeah its basically the same build as the older canon nifty fifty, right?
I don't know the build quality of the old canon nifty fifty, but I had the new version. The canon is definitely better build. Although the 35mm version of the yongnuo is better build than the 50mm one. Still though, I consider the build quality of the 35mm definitely sufficient. I traveled to 3 countries with it and it didnt fail on me, so good enough in my opinion.

>>3649795
Maybe under ideal conditions, but the manual focus is finicky to get right and the autofocus will always be slightly blurry so it’s a pain in the dick to use. Does make nice portraits when you do it right however.
