Shooting people being people is classic street photography. But, man I do like taking photos of people taking photos, but generally they're just for me and I enjoy them for a second or two while processing, and move on.

Keep everything. Drive space is cheap and will only get cheaper. If you get desperate, a run thru files in a year will be easy for you to dump photos.

Cannot get manage the banding. Just a hard photo to take I think. Sunrise2 by B. B., on Flickr

xzzy posted:I've seen people mitigate that with a radial filter over the sun to smooth out the transitions a bit. There was a youtube video I saw that talked about it a bit but hell if I can find it now. But it involved tweaking texture/clarity/dehaze downwards a bit to blur the edges for a smoother gradient. I think that's gotta be it. I'll look for a tutorial.

Dabir posted:Apparently I've inherited a digital camera. It's a Panasonic Lumix, DMC-FZ28 if that means anything to anyone. Its former owner used it to take photos of planes at air shows. Anyone know anything about this thing that I should be aware of? Looks like a bridge camera from 2008 or so. 10 megapixels, going to look fine in good, bright light. Don't expect too much, probably not better than a good camera phone these days.

seravid posted:I'm thinking about framing some prints, to give as gifts... and also maybe keep a couple to hang on the wall. Any basic tips? For context, 5 minutes ago I didn't know "matting" was a thing. My first instinct was to go simple: go to the store, buy some properly sized (no borders, then) black/white frames, place the photo inside and be done with it, but it seems like there might be a lot more to it than that! Go to some of the online print companies (mpix, for one) and look at their options. You may not buy thru them, but you'll see what the framing options look like, as well as the print styles that need no frame.

My personal bag on the plane is a camera bag, and my kit stays with me pretty much always. 16-55, 70-300, 90. If I had to pair it down, I'd carry just the 16-55.

I had one. My first digital camera. To get full resolution, it shot two frames (there were two types of shots, field and frame). It was great at macro shots, poo poo at everything else. And I loved it.

The 6 aa use it not ideal. It's really built for the two canon lithiums. Having the AA option is nice in the field, but not it's real use.

Ok, there's a decent deal on the Topaz software for Black Friday. I don't generally think their sharpen is magic on recovering out of focus images, but I wondered if the suite was worth it in general.

Philthy posted:It all works really well, but i've mostly stopped using it. I enjoy the noise on photos now, and if something is too blurry, I just nuke it anyway. The image enlarger is voodoo cool, but it's for stuff like old family photos which is like once a year. I mostly just apply a custom color profile and I'm done. Thanks. I think I'm gonna pass. I see it as something I'd end up almost never using.

I'm in the in-between right now. Cold, but not real winter shooting conditions. So, no motivation, it hurts to get out, but haven't got the best elements to make it worth it yet. Soon. Soon.

Toalpaz posted:I'm never going to be like, good at photography in a meaningful sense. And it's not like I do it for the fame and external validation, but I think this is literally the least rewarding hobby socially I've ever had. That's what your weird online friends at SA are for.
