All video related questions and discussion is intended for this thread. Here we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.
Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.
We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras and higher) and have interchangeable lenses.
In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.

Quick FAQS
>what’s the best camera available on a “budget”?
The blackmagic pocket cinema camera 4k, or the Panasonic gh5 (can pick one up for like 500 bucks atm)
>what’s a good beginner video camera?
Anything that works, shoots at least 1080p and preferably has interchangeable lenses. Any recommendation beyond that will cause arguments so read the fucking sticky if that isn't satisfactory.
>What's a good sound solution that won't break the bank?
Zoom h1
>Can I use a zoom lens for video?
Yes
>Do I need cine lenses?
No
>Do I need 4k?
No. 1080 looks great on a cinema screen. 4k looks better.
>Can someone tell me if my video is any good?
Yes, but be prepared to receive harsh criticism. If you're going to waste 5 minutes of our time with a shitty out-of-focus montage of nothing then we'll tell you that it's crap

Because I didn't see one and am an endless fountain of dumbshit questions.

Because I'm poor, I have to use an old phone and camera attachment as my regular use camera. But I can't use it on a tripod because the holder blocks half my screen.

Un simple apasionado.

I love photography.

Or at least that's what I think every time I see a good photo!! I'm incredibly passionate about it and I'm studying to become great at it. I'm going to share a bit of my art with you below. I hope you can genuinely guide me on this path I'm just embarking on with my own hands. Yes, it's personal, it's the only thing that calms me and gives me peace for now.
And as I read somewhere, it's not the weapon, but the soldier who carries it.

OM-1 vs K-1ii:

I've spent about 2 years shooting with a beat up canon 70d I got on craigslist and I'm ready to drop some money on a new camera. I've narrowed my choices down to these two because of the following:

- Rugged and actually weather sealed
- I like the build quality, feel and color rendering of the lenses (HD pentax D-FAs and the OM pro f/2.8s)
- Comfortably in my budget used (with lenses)

I'm leaning more towards the OM because I will be backpacking a lot and the weight savings are attractive (especially with telephoto), however I'm willing to put up with the weight if the pentax will have outstandingly better image quality.

My use-case will be travel with a bit of wildlife photography, I will shoot everything in RAW and edit, and all of my photos will be shared online or printed to a max of 11x17". I also never carry a tripod/monopod.

Some of my pros for each system:
OM-1
>lightweight and compact
>m43 wider DOF
>more variety of modern glass
>cheaper telephoto options

K-1ii
>higher resolution (can crop for wildlife)
>better dynamic range and color depth
>better in low light?

I'm sure everyone will tell me to go full frame and go to the gym but I was hoping to get some additional perspective, ideally from someone who has owned both FF and modern m43.

Some additional points:
-I know they are both dead systems
-No I will not get a canon/nikon/sony

Thanks for your time

Thanks in advance.

I've started a new project documenting junkyard and pick-n-pulls in my area! I went to one as a kid a bunch of years ago and ever since have been dying to go back. I find them really interesting, its an environment you really never get to experience. Its sort of surreal seeing all the old cars ripped apart, and having free reign to do basically whatever you want to them (as long as you pay) is sort of freeing? I'm also a big car nerd to its fun trying to find interesting cars or just seeing how they work.
Anyways, I intend to visit these places and document not only the environments but also the people. I think eventually I'd love to do portraits of the workers, especially with their tools. Last time I went I was too nervous to ask anyone so maybe if you have any tips on asking strangers, especially while theyre working, for photos that would be great.
I hope you enjoy these photos and maybe they will inspire you or something. If this isn't your thing, then just pass on by.
Thanks!

I've been photographing for just two years and I always used f/4 lenses (I shoot Canon) and never felt like I needed something like f/2.8 as I can just either use a tripod or increase the ISO.

worth getting a DSLR lens for a mirrorless system?

I've been looking to get a fast telephoto (Nikon) without breaking the bank and as everyone slowly moves to the new mirrorless platforms the prices for DSLR lenses are 30% of their original

I would assume there wouldn't be too much of a deterioration in optical quality from the use of an FTZ adapter as it's really just a spacer to match the original DSLR focus plane

I would also likely have a teleconverter for more reach as needed in front of the FTZ which I think shouldn't pose any more drawbacks than with the original DSLR

my main question is if there's any major advantages to getting a native mirrorless knowing it's going to cost 3x more and lose half it's value as soon as it's bought

there's currently a local seller listing the 300mm f/2.8G VR II for $2,000 USD (currently $5,500 USD new) which could probably be knocked down a bit further

B&W

Do you ever find yourself resorting to B&W when you can't salvage the colors in a picture due to light?

The best example I can think of is outdoor photo shoots. I see plenty of photographers who either due to bad luck or retardation end up doing photo shoots in very boring/unflattering natural light which results in very bad looking pictures, in which there isn't much to do to salvage it. I really don't have a clue as to what the average person thinks of B&W, there must be a reason as to why these photographers would rather post their poorly lit and edited pictures instead of just removing that variable entirely. Thoughts? How can one avoid this problem if you want to shoot with natural light? Is it just luck?

Rank the Trump Portraits

Archiving

Hello anons! You might remember me from >>4425207 a while back. I have since set up some very neat desktop servers (both Synology) and I thought other anons may find this information useful.

For the storage of highly important and personal stuff, I ended up picking a "DS620slim" filled with SSDs (for low-noise and compactness). With 6x 4TB drives in RAID6, I have 16 TB (14.5 TiB) to work with which can be easily mirrored onto a "portable" external HDD. For the time being, I'm using an 8TB portable SSD and a 16TB external HDD as backups. The HDD is powered off for most of the time to reduce noise, and the portable SSD is used as the "off-site" backup (easily accessible, travels with me). Eventually, I'll need a 16TB SSD as the amount of data stored increases, but unfortunately there are no well-tested consumer products with that capacity in current year. If I end up needing more space for backups, I'll probably just use two 8TB portable SSDs.

Additionally, I've also built a much larger HDD array for a lot of the "bulky" data I work with (non-p) that I'd like to be stored more reliably. I'm still a bit unsure about how I'll handle the backups for those: I plan on getting a magnetic tape drive to properly back up this data, but I also want to keep a third centralized copy somehow. Any suggestions? I suppose I could pay money for "cloud" storage, but at that point, I suspect it'd be more cost-effective to simply built a second server at another location and mirror the data. Currently the server functions as a "backup" for a bunch of DAS, so it's not the only copy.

The whole process of setting these things up was surprisingly user-friendly. I feel a little silly for being intimidated by it. My main gripe is that Synology's DSM (server OS) gets upset when you use "off-brand" drives (i.e. not "Synology" brand), so I had to use a script to disable the stupid warnings that the server spits out. Otherwise, a very handy solution. Thanks for all of your advice, anons.

Is Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II good?

Hello, I'm a tourist here and I'm looking for a good camera to take good general personal family photos with (portraits, travel landscape, city, etc)...

Other than that, I'll be printing most of my images to get them in my personal memories album

Why did body driven AF die?

Why do nearly all modern camera systems use AF motors integrated into the lens? One would think it makes more sense to have one good autofocus motor in the body that each of your lenses can use. Moreover, whenever you upgrade your body, every lens you own gets an autofocus upgrade.
Was it a result of Canon dominating the DSLR era, since EF had lens motor AF only, or are there technical problems that couldn't be solved?

New to photography and I switch between Aperture and Shutter mode
Aperture mode if I need to change the focus and focal length for whatever reason, but usually I leave it in Shutter mode and let the camera decide aperture while I adjust the shutter speed and exposure compensation

using expensive film

What's the point of using expensive film, if you're going to digitally scan it and color correct it in post? Is it just for the grain size?

So you get film's color science, then slap digital filter from camera/scanner, then you tweak this again to your liking?

Why not just use cheapest possible film if you're post processing anyway?

Capture One Pro: Worth it?

Doing a large outdoor shoot across 2 days with 180+ deliverable shots to a client. I've been using a mix of Adobe and other tools but it is time consuming matching batches manually.

I saw that Capture One has both smart colour grading for outdoor weddings/editorials and also slider based retouching for detected faces now. It's $333 a year subscription. I want to know if it actually works well, or is just a gimmick. Is that actually worth it for anyone who uses C1Pro here?

Accidents in Photography

Can you claim that an accidental aspect of a photograph is artistic? Does every little thing in a photo have to be intentional?

/gear/ containment thread - Hot Shoe Kitty Edition

Making a new thread as the old one's gone.
Just discovered that the manual focus on this lens/camera has a perfect 1/4. Actually the best fly-by-wire focussing I've used since the Leica Q.

Most photography isn't art. But that doesn't matter, because it's able to do things art rarely can. Photography is a vial for a memory, it makes the intangible tangible. This feature is even more potent in black and white photography. Even more potent if there's some motion blur. So don't be sad your "snapshit" will never be art, be glad that you captured what your eyes could only see for a split second just for it to vanish into nonexistence. Advocates of cineslop say it's sculpting in time. Photography is making time meaningless, cutting right through it and spitting in the face of Chronos. That's why La Jetée is genius, beneath the superficial time travel argument lies the fact that photography is how we travel in time. It's how we make the fleeting eternal. Just think of how the accounts of deja vu phenomena skyrocketed after the introduction of photography, it literally pierces the matrix of time in the minds of those who experience it. I'm certain that if we one day gain the ability to control time, photography will be a huge part of that. Time is first and foremost about perception and only photography has what it takes to train the brain to be able to take charge and go from passive observer to being the one in control.

Revamping Retro Bodies as Digital

I want that retro film feel that turns head without the headache of viewfinders with manual focus and development/scanning. Is refurbishing the inside with digital the way to go?

M43 appreciation thread

It's a good system that's fun to use. I have a full frame Nikon but I still reach for my OM-1 most of the time. It's just a cool system that churns out great pics and does everything I need it to do while being like half the size/weight. Anyone else like this compact system.

June 8 2025 - DTLA

Hello
I will be dumping photos from the DTLA Protests on June 8. If you were there and took any photos feel free to share them here too, image limit allowing. comment/critique welcome as it relates to the photos; if you want to discuss the politics of the event there's a different board on this website that starts with /p/. Most shots are on Gold 200 or Ultramax 400 through my SRT200 and a Vivitar 28-210 f/3.5-5.6; a few are from a crappy 90s minolta point and shoot and some are shot with Psychedelic Blues #5 (which is just hand-fogged Ultramax 400).

Tell me all about /p/hotography for instagram

After being a loser social media hermit, I wanna make a flex instagram. You know, /fit/ pics, /fa/shion pics, /trv/el pics all of that. I don't really have a nice smartphone camera and I do not intend to get an iPhone either, but I do own a Nikon D5300 with a manual 50mm f/2, a kit 18-50mm and a 50-200mm. I also have a friend who's willing to take pictures for me in return for getting him into a new hobby that I know a fair bit about. Here's what I want to know
Tell me all about editing. Never done it before since I never intended anyone else to see my pictures. I downloaded GIMP and was thinking about pirating Lightroom but I want my pictures to use as less fakery as possible. Besides, that's the culture from what I can see
Is taking shirtless mirror pics with a DSLR too much? Like I said, I don't own a good phone
Should I be taking RAW pics? Always did jpeg but if I'm gonna edit may as well do RAW
When my friend is unavailable, how do I take pictures. I own a tripod but I don't think it's convenient to take pictures setting a timer and moving back and forth

What happened to camera ergonomics? Of course no one is asking to make cameras needlessly heavy, but with normal to large hands, you can't hold the new cameras comfortably without adding a grip.

DSLRs for Short Films

When I was growing up, we had to learn about DSLRs in school because they were seen as the next best thing. People thought a new revolution would occur in cinema with independent short films being easier than ever to make. But I hated learning photography on a DSLR, since many videos would come out with heaps of noise.
Do you think DSLRs even changed the world with its ability to make easy short films?

Grimace Egg is Your G-d

Mundanity in Appalachia

What actually makes a "great" photo?

Is this photo famous and considered great because of the subject, the composition, or the camera?

If it's because of the subject, does the composition or camera matter?

If it's the composition, what makes it such a great composition?

If it's the camera, can you name it and why the camera used for this photo was uniquely capable of taking this photo? Can you name the film used and the settings used to take the photo?

Photography has become fucking stale. Unless I'm away on a trip (which I'm not right now as I'm funding a loft conversion), I can't seem to take any enjoyment in photography or find good subjects when walking around my city.
I'm considering getting a superzoom to swap things up as I've only properly shot 35mm and 50mm prime. Or I could not be a gearfag and set myself a project with themes or something. Anyone else found success with this? I'm struggling not to sell all my cameras and try something else.

Editing a Photobook

I wanna make a photobook. I have 50-60 snaps of cars I've been getting in Bratislava for the last few years. I've been trying to do it with a photoshop doc with a billion layers which I will eventually export to a pdf for printing but is there a better way to do it?

Why did the 135mm fall out of favor?

If you handle any amount of film-era camera gear you will almost always find a 135mm when buying somebody's old kit. It seems to me like it was the second most popular focal length after 50mm. So why is it that almost nobody cares about 135mm today?

Ive started taking photos with my phone but I want to get on the next level and I wanna buy a camera. I talked about it in another thread but I wanna make a thread cuz I need someone to convince me before I become a poser

I generally take photos of my life as much as possible but I also enjoy doing scenery, composite and symbolic photography. I'll post a few in this thread.

I am hyperautistic; I am basically a polymath and I usually compute every single event in my mind and mechanics behind, hence I rather have everything in full control if possible so I can play 4D chess. Mind the text cuz this will be my cope later.

I asked a few people, did some research and found Fuji X100V. Camera looked good and having dials of settings I like to change impressed me. After some more research I found that Fuji was on the way to become a nostalgia/poser bait. I dont really mind that but I want my moneys worth.

I can always buy a dslr but I want a compact daily WITH viewfinder and that disqualified a lot of cameras. My only alternative is a Nikon zfc but I find it big.

Now anon, Ive set my mind into X100 but I still feel uneasy so please try to convince me into not buying it as if I am using taxpayer money, cheers.

Hi, noob here. I have a canon EOS 1100D and would like to photograph an upcoming (30 minutes from now or so) fireworks show at night. What settings should I use?

cleaning dust

A friend decided I could make use of her camera better than her (EOS2000D, apparently it's dated) but I'm not into photography myself. I find it a bit interesting though. Anyways, I decided to give it a try and I noticed some dust in pictures (pic related). I know there's software that removes this easily, I know how to get around it with whatever software, but from what I can gather, this dust seems to be inside the lens itself.
Course it's her camera, I ain't gonna fuck with it. But is this lens kit cleaning a complicated process? I would imagine that since she didn't use the thing for long (I'm talking years) some dust might have gotten in there somehow.

Justifying film in the digital age.

I recently started a college darkroom class. While the whole process is fun, cool, novel, and actually pretty useful skill (which is more than can said more most college courses) but fuck me I'm sticking to digital.
Film costs more than bullets, and you can recycle bullets. The last big brand film cam was made over 20 years ago. I've seen an argument for sticking the middle finger to A.I, but scans are gonna be shared online anyway? It's the cheapest path to Full Frame at least.
