That may be, but we have still reduced the smaller candid meetings to nothing. With kids involved and everyone being old, petting the dogs, it's only the holidays etc that's worth it.

This is bullshit. Evaluative metering is not based on, nor the same as, the zone system.

>>3825287

see this? these are your zones.
you can even preview it in-camera!

>>3825287
Human beans have a hard time determining what middle grey actually looks like in a scene. Take advantage of the zone system to get good metering with a spot meter like so:
1. Decide if having details in shadows or highlights is more important to you
2. Set your exposure compensation accordingly, +2 EV for highlight retention or -2 for shadow retention
3. Put your spot meter on the highlights or shadows in question you want to retain
4. Lock exposure
5. Recompose if necessary, focus, and take the picture

>>3825921
Lmao you think you underexpose to add detail in the shadows

It's 2021, there's no excuse for tilted images.
Cameras almost do the job for you now.

>>3824078
shoot yourself, LARPer

Just fix it in post. Another option is buying a mirrorless camera that renders fake horizon line over what you see. I had similar problems, especially couldn't take a straight photo in portrait, but then i've got an x100 with hybrid viewfinder and fake horizon helped me massively.

Not like there's anything wrong with fixing rotation in postprocessing.

You're putting to much emphasis on press the shutter perhaps. Also some places are just un-even and the fucking leveler is off because of that, but says its right anyways.

>Where do you meter? Shadows and then overexpose that 4-5 stops? Lights and underexpose?
Well... With that roll, to be honest, my metering strategy was "What's the slowest shutter speed I can handhold? 'Cause that had better be enough".

I have a little tripod so thats not a problem, also I’m left with only my 24-105 f4 so i might just close it to f11 and fool myself that my scans are the problem with oof snaps. I’ll try the multispot metering and go down from there two stops, shouldn’t be that bad.

These are cozy, OP. I appreciate them.

You're going to be capturing movement in a low-light situation. Not easy, but also not hard if you use common sense. Tell the story, get some wide shots and include the audience, lighting, stage, tables, etc. Just pictures of the comic will be boring and out of context.

>>3823294
Talk to the venue. I've been to a few stand up shows where I see photogs skulking in the aisles. If you're just taking photos with your ass in the seat, don't bother. They'll be boring as shit.
Next, get some low light gear. If you don't own any, maybe treat yourself to a rental. Depending where you live, you might be able to rent a 70-200 2.8 pretty cheap for a weekend.

>>3823294

You'll need a big sensor, fast aperture and some zoom capabilities

Also if you're half decent you should be able to get everything you need in the first 5 minutes

Make a note of key lighting on stage, see where are the marks where they are fully lit etc

Now try EF-S, Nikon DX, Sony E APS-C or Pentax K APS-C.

>>3824851
What in gods fuck why? Is there something I'm missing? Focus by wire. Power zoom. Does anyone actually PREFER these robotic monstrosities?

>>3825673
Focus by wire is horrible, but power zoom allows you to nail consistent zooming speed when doing video.

>>3825664
>Now try EF-S, Nikon DX, Sony E APS-C or Pentax K APS-C.
Sure, I can do that. We'll compare a wide zoom, normal zoom, tele zoom, then a fast normal prime, portrait, and macro. Full frame lens on top, then the equivalent crop lens:

Wide zoom:
EF 17-40 f/4L: $800
EF-S 10-22 f/3.5-4.5: $649

Normal zoom:
EF 24-70 f/4L IS: $899
EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS: $879

(Or, for a cheaper, lower-quality option,
EF 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS: ~$150 used, but no longer in production
EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 IS: ~$50 used)

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>3825664
Pentax is an interesting comparison because they abandoned full frame for quite a while, so let's compare them vs. Canon full frame:

Wide zoom:
Pentax 11-18 f/2.8: $1246
EF 17-40 f/4L: $799

Normal zoom:
Pentax 17-70 f/4: $496
EF 24-105 f/3.5-5.6 IS: $599
(Or, again, you can go with the Pentax 18-55 vs. a Canon 28-135 for about the same as my EF/EF-S comparison)

Tele zoom:
Pentax 50-200 f/4-5.6: $196
EF 75-300 f/4-5.6: $179

underexposed, needs tighter composition, there's dust spots on your sensor

Do they have no insulation in their ceiling/attic/roof? Why is there snow on the trees but not on the roof? I guess it's a pretty steep roof... Something's fishy here...

Here's some random pic taken off reddit of the same camera, apparently with fuji superia 400. nothing is in focus and there's notable barrel distortion in a fucking landscape photo. the plastic lens also means insane lens flares on other pics. garbage.

fuck keeping it alive nigga i want this shit to die so I can hoard more cameras

>>3823534
You do realize that most people who buy this stuff want it to look out of focus and shit on purpose? It’s the same reason why Polaroids and disposable cameras are trendy, because since smartphone cameras got better most normies realized they look ugly as sin when every pore is exposed. Same reason thots love using Snapchat filters.
