If you care less about the photo and more about if you're perceived as an rear end in a top hat for taking it then I don't know what to say. It's a reflection of your own insecurity and an excuse to not put yourself out there and engage with an art form via moral justification. Go out and take good photos, people won't care, if someone does they'll ask you to delete it and that's when you get to decide if you're an rear end in a top hat or not.

Maybe I just have a friendly vibe but negative experiences are extremely rare for me. In fact, most people respond positively to being photographed. It's a great way to meet people and make friends.

I don't really mind much if someone photographs me in the street, although here it would be illegal for them to publish that photo without my permission. Quite a lot of countries have stricter rules than the US on photography even in public, I guess that might lead to (or stem from?) a greater expectation of privacy in public places. I thought it was interesting up thread that someone said you shouldn't photograph other people's kids, when many famous street photos are of children. Also in reading about what the deal is in the US I found out that if you're American you need a license to do street photography from space. You can apply here, but you'll still need a pretty good on-camera flash.

Canada has a "one party consent" law with regards to recording in public spaces. If anyone complains I loudly and firmly say "*I* consent to this photo" and move on. (this is a joke) I'm going to share my people based street photography and you all can tell me if I'm being annoying or not. I'm new so it's hard to tell.

I'm such a coward I don't even like photographing abandoned homesteads on the prairie out of concern the land owner is gonna charge through the cornfield in his F150 and yell at me. Or the towns either. It feels like I'm invading someone's home to make their run down main street part of my art project.

This debate started about unexpected flash photography, I don't generally have a problem with street photography, but I would not like to have a flash go off in my face without my knowledge.

jarlywarly posted:This debate started about unexpected flash photography, I don't generally have a problem with street photography, but I would not like to have a flash go off in my face without my knowledge. Yeah it's this for me. I think 99% of people don't care about street photographers and if I saw one I'd think 'neat'. However someone jumping into peoples paths, putting a camera and flash right into their face, blinding them and probably scaring them half to death in the process? (what Gilden seems to do to get some of his shots) Yeah I'm gonna think they are an arsehole. And I wouldn't care if it's for Art. However I get the impression some others are against any photography without strict consent? Which to me kinda makes a lot of photography (not just street) impossible.

Pushing it on other people to tell you that they care about something is being an rear end in a top hat. Most people don't like confrontation to begin with, and you're even more unapproachable when you've demonstrated that you're willing to flagrantly violate social norms. I have a hard time believing you can get the mileage you want out of being an rear end in a top hat if you're not going to own it.

bellows lugosi posted:you're fine being a creep until they notice you doing it I was being sarcastic about consent and quoting the guy in the video basically. Kinda funny how he contradicts himself by saying he's so noble, then that the people he shoots are just props but whatever, this whole thing started about using flash on unsuspecting people. Obviously consent is almost impossible in most street situations with tons of people around, but if you're up close and personal with them, and especially if you're triggering a flash in their face you should probably ask permission first.

Question I should know the answer to: Does under exposing at high ISOs make the noise shittier when bringing the photo to the proper exposure versus shooting with the correct exposure at high ISOs in the first place? Shooting RAW.

Yes, to varying degrees based upon your sensor, how far you’re pushing the exposure, etc

Underexposing means you're letting less light through to the sensor. Bringing up the exposure in post is similar, conceptually, to increasing the gain of the sensor and will similarly degrade image quality. If you have a choice, it's better to expose properly when you take the picture.

Modern sensors are crazy good at getting good detail out of dark shadows. I certainly don't recommend it if you can get the whole histogram in the middle of the box but if you have to decide between underexposed shadows or clipped highlights, go for underexposure.

Thank you all for the helpful answers on my high ISO, underexposure question. I’m shooting a play tomorrow night so I was over thinking in a bit, but the feedback is helpful. JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:sorry to return to this, there is no "correct" exposure. the exposure is whatever you think it should be, or, if you're letting the camera to the talking, whatever that particular metering mode thinks it should be. There's a lotta good photos out there that are over or under exposed in relation to what a light meter would read. For sure. Always a good reminder. The context of my question stemmed from my daughters elementary school basketball league where they play in dimly lit gyms. So with what I’m going for shooting photos for the other parents of kids on the team I try to keep things bright and cheery.

Public spaces like parks typically require a permit for any photography, especially if you’re jumping out the bushes and with a strobe like some sort of weirdo who is tone-deaf to social cues Also taking photos of people in public and being really standoffish about the intended use of the photos is a great way to get punched in the face Do what you will with this information melon cat fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Feb 10, 2023 |

Absolute noob here, as in first couple days with a dslr (I bought a very cheap d40). Is there a standard way to process raw images? I have been shooting with raw instead of jpgs because I understand they are uncompressed images, but then the camera doesn't apply the "finishing touches" to the image - what is the fastest way to get them done? I bought a dslr for an upcoming trip and don't have a heap of time to learn the ins and outs of editing. The following pics I've used darktable and have pretty much just used the automatic settings for white balance, exposure etc and messed with the filmic rgb plugin (generally on auto) on some of them. It was a very bright summer day in Australia and these were shot at about 11 in the morning but the processing has resulted in (what i feel like) are slightly warmer and darker images than i was expecting? They look nice, don't get me wrong. Maybe I'm just overthinking it? I shot with the automatic setting on the camera and I think they were all around 200 iso. Also, in the final image something has happened where the brightest whites have gone almost purple? I think this is from the software lowering the exposure or something? I would just like to figure out a workflow that includes the minimum amount of me sitting at the pc scratching my head lol. I'm open to eventually buying some software but for now i'd like to stick to something free/open source.
