Tough to prevent but you can protect your rights to the photo. Always keep the unedited original, reduce file size and crop if possible before posting. Tag/watermark your pics also. I enter my name and email in the data. This actually led to an author contacting me about using my photo for his book jacket.
There will always be photo thieves out there, you can make it tougher but difficult/impossible to prevent.

>I want to see you building off of this more and maybe experimenting with nighttime lights.
nighttime is always a little trickier since lights just end up as full white lines. but I do have some at night. my style basically started from doing architecture shots at night and evolved from there. I have some night shots I took tonight, we'll see if there's anything worth sharing.
>For the crowds of people theres too much motion blur? Feels too easy to recreate and uncreative
the real challenge in the crowd shots are picking the ones worth sharing. it's kind of a filler I do while walking around. you could argue >>3885500 is cheap, but at the same time, It's rare that I see someone recreate the look and make it work. I'm not claiming is fine art photography by any means, but there's a lot more going on that goes into creating a shot like this than you might think.

>>3916998
fair thanks for the response I agree with you and your photos are definitely different and better than most of the shit posted on this board so keep up the good work man

>>3885821
Hey anon,
start doing local concerts and venues, hand out cards, I drop them in the musicians guitar cases, hand them out. Will get you paid gigs, promo shots, cd covers etc By doing this I was able to do tons on paid photography (and video) over the years, met many of famous musicians, did photos for bands (old and new) in theatres, concert venues, backstage etc.
It's tough at first as you are building up to well paid gigs. But that's part of the fun, I will not trade those unpaid days starting off for anything. But you got to get out there and let those bands see your work and your name.

>>3916317
Most businesses won't let you use their rooftop, as thery're worried about injury.
Search for top floor rentals, talk to the owner/agency about short lets. like a day or a week.
Make friends with real estate agents. -Bribe them with getting to be your assistant and talk to models in exchange for the keys.

My last ditch is giving door handles a jiggle and oh no, someone left it open, walk into a building looking for an owner.
(in this country the worst it can be is trespass, and all they can do is politely ask you to leave)

That's true, but it's also literally a free camera so maybe stop being such a weird faggot about everything? Life is so easy if you aren't trying your hardest to fag things up at every opportunity.

With a good prime lens it will take very good photos.

I would recommend some of the nikkor manual focus lenses. They are cheap, and they are good.

if he has any sense he'll flip them before the electronics die like most of them will within the next decade or two

>>3917842
eh, the electronics don't really die in the stylus cameras. their Achilles heel is the plastics gears in the film advance system. they're getting pretty brittle with age and a single tooth breaking is KO for the camera.

>>3917845
3D scan them so you can 3D print them later

>>3917850
Better yet, reverse engineer the gear so the model isn't lumpy.

>If it looks interesting to you, take a photo. Over time, you will become more discriminating and will develop your eye for a photo.
>Use a timer of 3-5 seconds, this gives you time to steady your hands and check the edges of the frame.
>Learn about locking focus and making sure that you have the right amount of light in the shot, not over or under-exposed.
>Night shoots are crap for phone-cameras, so go for day shoots with lots of natural light.
>Unless you're deliberately shooting upwards at a building, hold your camera level to avoid slanted verticals. You can fix in post though. Learn what features you can use.
>Depending on what you want to do with your photos, if anything, figure out what aspect ratios you like and compose for those. Sadly, if it's not native to the camera, or has a changeable grid, you will have to eyeball it; though this can only help your eye for composition.
>If you want it to work in different ratios, then close-ups are out. Likewise distant subjects look much further away without lenses.
>Don't zoom in, it looks like shit. Always crop and use as many pixels as you can.
>Don't 'repeat' a photo, unless you can improve it. Look for new things.
Of course, what the fuck do I know? The faggots here tell me to kill myself; 'snapshitter'. Avoid this shithole unless you want to be abused by elitist nophoto gearfags.

>>3917614
Try and at least get the composition right. Don't use the zoom, treat your phone like a prime. You'll also have to learn to work around some of the limitations of the HDR computational stuff. For instance, I wouldn't bother trying to shoot at night, but a phone will perform reasonably well with good lighting.

excellent critique of my photo. thank you.
i used only as a sample of what 'natural' light provides. it was a one shot/no thought. bracketing/layering/etc would be a simple task to achieve everything you noted. maybe a revisit is in order to improve my results. we'll see.

Snipe them as well as you can buy denying other bidders knowledge that you are willing to buy an item until last second. Be aware that there are others who do the same.

>>3915049
>Be aware that there are others who do the same.
This is an understatement.
In my experience any piece of desirable camera gear on ebay will get a least 10 bids in the last 30 seconds or so.

>>3915438
>any piece of desirable camera gear
Depends, good but obscure enough stuff gets few bids sometimes but mostly due to shitty shipping options.

>>3912613
If there's something you want, you just have to be patient. You can subscribe to email alerts when new listings are put up. Rarely, people will set "buy now" prices that are really good, but people tend to snag these within the hour, so you just have to be quick.

Auctions I don't bother with as the bids normally go beyond normal "buy now" prices.

>>3917648
>you just have to be patient.
I've been waiting 2 years on a camera to go under 200 bucks because i filthy jewtuber shilled it and everybody is pricing it at 450+, the few that are under 300 are all kinds of fucked.
It was 120 to 180 before that video came out, if i get the money i will go for it whatever the price because waiting means more time without shooting it.

I recently started flying a mavic mini, I wasn't into it that much at first but the idea of a camera that can be positioned pretty much anywhere in three dimensions is almost limitlessly interesting. The DJI drones are incredibly easy to fly, and the software package as a whole looks pretty good, but I was wondering if there was anything similar in the DIY space that you knew of. Unfortunately I think I'm starting to get into another expensive niche hobby, I've had a ton of fun so far and I have access to some amazing places to fly.

>You are so ridiculously presumptuous about how photographers act, and their personalities. Where do you even get these ridiculous caricatures?
He's mentally unwell. Speaking of caricatures he's like the protagonist of "Peeping Tom" except he hasn't got to the part of killing girls yet. But he uses the camera to intimidate people and gets off it. He's a creep who enjoys when people mistake his camera for a gun in the dark and has bragged about it before.
