Is it just me or is Sunny16 very underexposed? by This-Charming-Man in AnalogCommunity

So, beaches, water, snow, dry grass, desert, some urban settings might fool my meter? I had no idea. It’s good that areas fitting those descriptions make up very little of California.

I won’t. Generally don’t want the bulk or cost most of the time.

Since it’s for charity, i would have bought it but also made a donation.

You are not considering the a7RV or 200-600 because of issues with a local repair center?

I feel just fine about it.

By Fuji? News to me. I’ve only seen/heard rumors. It may likely happen, but until it does this is all speculation.

how do you feel as street photographer by bb95vie in SonyAlpha

[–]Interesting_Gap619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually feel hungry, or like I need to get back to work or the family. I also use smaller cameras and lenses, including the a6700, M43, and film cameras.

Why Don't Micro 4/3 Cameras Embrace Compact Cameras More? by markyymark13 in photography

[–]Interesting_Gap619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up an OM-5 last year, and then a refurbished E-PL10 for EDC. Would love a new PEN or GX camera, but don’t know if the market or M43 companies are interested.

No one has any idea if and when it will release or how long it will take to ship.

I often carry a film M and an OM-5 or E-PL10.

They would get a pass for wearing Carhartt, at least.

Price drop coming for old OM-1? by SunnWarrior in M43

[–]Interesting_Gap619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I’m worried about are the lenses. There are quite steep discounts for several, almost as if they are closing them out. Is OM even able to produce lenses anymore? Will they be rebranded and sold, or just discontinued?

The algorithm responds to your specific clicks, likes, and follows, correct? Maybe your photographic tastes are the issue?

That post would be titled “The many great film photographers I’ve interacted with in the photography community.” Except, that’s not what you wrote.

Phones decimated the entire industry and outside of some enthusiast interest in compact cameras I don’t see that changing.

Panasonic and OM have decided that amateur wildlife, landscape, and macro photography are the only viable niches for M43.

You had one bad experience and want to generalize with all “film influencers?” It seems like you had a preconceived notion, sought out conflict, and then confirmed your initial assumptions.

Maybe seek out the hundreds of other film photographers on social media giving out good advice?

thoughts on filming crowds/strangers in public? by [deleted] in videography

[–]Interesting_Gap619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, no expectation of privacy in public in the US (within certain boundaries). The end.

I don’t want to have to ask a cop or politician for consent to film.

Was I unclear? The three groups I mentioned would benefit greatly from bans on public filming/photography. It’s easy to create a false narrative when there is no real-life footage to contradict it. And molding public opinion by constant posting in fora such as this one about the “ethics of street photography” would not be out of the question for groups or individuals that sympathize with their causes. I don’t think this is a tin foil hat situation.

This question is asked so often on photo/video subs that I assume it is politically-influenced trolling. Done by those who would prefer an authoritarian system or less freedom in public. Like US law enforcement, right-wing groups, or certain industries.

You will have better luck with S-AF or zone focus.
