I had another photoshoot with some friends this weekend. It was awful. My one friend who wasn't in the last one was quite bossy, wanting pictures in light and poses that were really not going to work and were quite unflattering. I tried to explain to her that it wasn't going to turn out well, but ended up taking a couple just to humour her. She was also on crutches, and was getting antsy to get back, so I felt really rushed the whole time. I got home and realised I was shooting at focal lengths of 50 and ~70mm, with shutter speeds of ~1/40. I could have opened my aperture a stop or two, or even bumped my iso if I needed to, but nope. Just loving retarded. So disappointed.

I normally shoot Av but for a look I'd change to M because the light was a bit tricky and I forgot to change it back to AV for the next look so a whole bunch of pics were really under exposed

I agree completely and have spent a good deal of time reading and writing about this issue in broader application. The commodification of experience is a bad thing. e: There's a really good essay on Ryan McGinley's work that really sparked my interest in the subject, I'll see if I can dig it up. 365 Nog Hogger fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Sep 25, 2011 |

I'd be interested in reading more on it. I agree too, photographing removes you from the experience, and the experience becomes photographing. It reminds me something that was said at a fashion show- one guy had lost his battery and couldn't shoot, his teammate said "you lucky bastard, you get to watch the show! I haven't watched a show in 20 years." It also reminds me of people who obsessively take photos of their food and ruin their whole experience of dining out. By the time they actually get to eating, the food is cold and unappreciated.

I had my film body out too, and I'm actually a lot happier with those than my digitals, so thankfully I got something I like

I'm glad my sister realized this before she tried re-asking me to shoot her wedding in March  I'm still thinking about maybe renting an M9 + Noctilux for the weekend though.

Man I'm going crazy trying to clone out all of the dust/sand I had on my sensor from changing lenses in a sand storm. Those stupid desert shots have so much sky all of the spots are visible. I'm at 100% with my face up against the monitor and now the floaties moving around in my eyes are confusing me.

You don't want people to see your embarrassing slip ups. I only hope Canon posted something like "Great photographers make great pictures, we feel privileged at canon to supply some of the best photographers in the world - YOU!"

People getting mad on the internet.evil_bunnY posted:gently caress that. It's the kinda thing that would sway me away if I were choosing a system right now. Really? Something that some (probably) unpaid intern wrote on Nikon's FB page is going to sway you from one brand to another. This is photography, not politics.

What the unpaid intern said isn't the end of the world, but that Facebook status should justly garner as many eyerolls as a "you take great pictures, you must have an amazing camera".

It absolutely should be pointed at and laughed about. A camera company letting that kind of comment slip by? Huge multinational companies aren't little babies that should be protected from the internet. Nikon probably pay fuckloads to some gimmicky PR company with a social media speciality and someone didn't do their job right. It's not a big deal at the end of the day, but it is embarrassing and Nikon should be embarrassed about it.

In other news, had a cancellation today - here is the abridged text message. quote:don't hate me but I'm not going to make it today. I've got the shits really bad and been sick twice, I've been up since 4 - I've taken immodium but its just not working - I've left it til now cause I thought it would work but I'm guessing it might be a bug or somethihg - if I could come I would but I literally cannot stop making GBS threads, been looking foreward to this, I'm honestly not one of them models that just cancels She goes on about making GBS threads quite a bit more.

I find it kind of funny that in this day and age of digital sensors, Photoshop and autofocus, people are way more offended about the whole "your camera takes good pictures" thing than they were back when taking a photo involved a pack mule, hazardous chemicals and a PhD in mathematics.

People get butthurt over the weirdest things, especially if it can be misinterpreted as something negative when intended as a compliment.
