    The most dangerous animal you're likely to encounter is a tick.

    ick quality Continuing to ignore replies.

    It brings me no pleasure to report that no one (whose brain hasn't been washed smooth by Big Photo) cares about "image quality" either. Not reading replies to this one ...

    The only measurable and half-way predictable property of "pleasing" in bokeh threads is how much you paid for the lens. It really do be like audiophiles listening to pins drop in the recording studio on their expensive stereos. Regular people listen to *music* -- on cheap radios even.

    to clarify, I mean bokeh, not dof (for framing or whatever). There are no polls on the out-of-focus area quality of the succicron vs bokelux because no one (whose hobby isn't buying lenses) cares. The bokeh of any conventional lens is just fine, mate, super duper, everyone agrees.

    No one cares about the out of focus areas. You lens nerds are worse than audiophiles.

    You can compare film/developer combinations here.

    90% mag for the HP + DK17m. If you have prespbyopia it also works in lieu of a correction lens. I repeat myself but the magnifying eyepiece is the best $40 you can spend on compatible Nikon cameras, provided you don't need the eye relief. It works on the F100 too but you have to remove it in order to pop open the back.

    The F3HP with the DK-17m magnifying eyepiece is better. The eyepiece won't fit an F3 non-HP.

    Ackshually the F6 (and F5) has a self-diagnostic shutter. It wouldn't have let you take a picture with a broken curtain.

    I have both. One I'm paranoid of damaging ('cuz it's so expensive), the other gets the σhit used out of it.

    Dpreview's image-comparison tool includes some phones.

    You might be interested in the first volume of Modern Photographic Processing, Grant Haist, 1979. It's a deep dive; you'll need some knowledge of chemistry to get the most out of it. Amazon lists only the 2nd volume ($500 new / $200 used) but you can find both for nothing on the internet.

    Here's another: How to read a negative.

    If you get The Americans, lend it to Alan.
  17. leo_papandreou1
    And yet, his pictures of America then look completely normal today.

    I'll daydream about becoming a professional noncommercial photographer and taking pictures that matter. But then I think about the months or years it can take to negotiate access to a story and build relationships with its principals, the months or years to cull, sequence, print, and publish the photographs, all the money I'll owe after all that toil and trouble... Flaneur it is!

    They're all flaneurs anyway.

    25 good pictures used to be called a 'career'. I've seen Gilden in a video claim that's how many he's taken.
  21. leo_papandreou1
    Yeah but I think you have to consciously study art history if you don't want to just recapitulate it passively in your own work, by exposure. Outsider art is still a thing I suppose but just barely going forward (1.2 trillion photos were uploaded in 2017.)
  22. leo_papandreou1
    Or maybe it was with Mitch Epstein? One of those two anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  23. leo_papandreou1
    One of the few things that stuck with me from this interview with Doug Dubois was his casual remark apropos something else that photography is pictures of pictures.
  24. leo_papandreou1
    Of course photographers are making less money nowadays. But they're getting more likes!
  25. leo_papandreou1
    Other people's family pictures are the best street photography.
