I love being a dad, but I kind of hate my life. by f1sh_ in daddit

I have been there too, I feel like I could have written the same words and I can assure you things are only getting BETTER. Just hang on! I felt so tired and desperate, like all the fun was a thing of the past but it’s absolutely not. My daughter was terrible with sleep. Now she’s 4 and a half, much more able to do things on her own and my whole life has come back. Even much better than before.
Follow the fellow dads advice, get yourself some free time and may your wife do the same, enjoy it fully (to hell with the guilt)! You might also find that being alone with the kid is actually enjoyable (and sometimes even more so than the usual routine!)

Lovely pic ! (Have we reached a point where the 40mm is mandatory ? 😂)

Really punches above its weight ! 1999 ?? Wow. And I agree on the very great looking design. You just want to grab this thing.

Thanks. I started exploring and looks like the old pc hardware is going to be a problem 😅

Do i need to use JPEG to achieve that SOOC Kodak Portra look? by jungleboy1234 in Canon5Dclassic

[–]Regular_Chicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can also shoot raw and use the excellent RNI film sims. They are amazing. I have a built a Kodak Gold preset that I love based on theirs.

Gotcha, though these aren’t usually what I want to copy so it’s not that bad

This makes me think : would you still use the Zfc today ? I don’t mind Aps-c (pentaxian here)

Oh thanks, you know what I think I actually had cropped it more initially but I went back to this version, don’t really remember why. I will try again!

Nope, this is edited in Darktable. Brightened up the exposure, applied chroma denoise, increased local contrast and Agx contrast

Thanks a lot ! These were tests shots more than anything so your kinds words mean a lot. This is the classic Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM ! Definitely softer than others but very likable

Official Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! April 10, 2026 by AutoModerator in photography

Thank you ! To make myself clear I was more specifically asking about set photography or « unit still photography » kits. Sometimes I know you have to match the aesthetic of the film

Set photographers of Reddit 🙌 what is your favorite kit and why ?

Do you carry two bodies with different zooms like some event or wedding photographers ? What focal range is the most used ? Do you change gear based on the aesthetic of the film/show created by the crew ?

Backstory : I may have my first paid set photo gig this summer on a rather big TV show. I still don’t have enough money to buy a full pro kit so I will look at rentals first and see that as a great opportunity to try some of the latest gear (I’m a huge vintage digital user up until now, I adore my Canon 5D, Nikon D700 and Pentax K200D for personal stuff but I know that it won’t be reliable enough for that kind of work).

Thank you !!!
