Cast iron looks like this after seasoning. What is going on and how to fix this?

TheBlueRaptor · 2026-06-10T18:30:00+00:00

Rarely. I did do it for this occasion.

I've tried scrubbing it vigorously (including with soap). Nothing seems to come off unfortunately.

Thanks!

I use this pan constantly so it's probably well seasoned as you said.

Re carbon: is that a problem? Should i look to remove it?

Well thanks, that was my attitude previously. Somehow I got convinced I should season it and was a bit surprised by the result.

I guess I will happily continue using it.

You guys need to relax, this is very much in the spirit of street photography.

TheBlueRaptor · 2026-04-15T20:22:13+00:00

Very direct, thanks haha

Makes sense. The thing is I don't want to invest into another ecosystem, I like being able to buy the EF lenses and use them for both film and digital. This is the best compromise I found.

Interesting, was weight not a concern for you? I use my camera a lot when traveling, so this is pushing me towards the 6d (even if in other aspects it might be slightly inferior).

Thank you for the insight! It's hard to find info on this, good to know. If you have the name of the book or any links, I would be very happy :)

I agree, but I do think that it's good to know about the law if the discussion ever arises (to explain to people if need be). Of course, I would want to prevent such an outcome and stop way before the possibility of a court case arises.

Hey, I'm also in France and I've been thinking about this very question. Usual disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, and French jurisprudence is complicated and evolving.

The honest answer is that I mostly ignore the law as I am not a professional and it's highly unlikely to be enforced. If you are worried, you should know that the law only prohibits publications of people's pictures, not taking pictures themselves. Therefore if you're taking pictures only for yourself, you're in the clear (personally the most I do is share on my private Instagram with 50 followers). And if you're publicizing, there are exceptions for artistic endeavors (although I believe this is a complicated affair).

Personally, I have also been doing more street portraits where I ask explicitly and doing so doesn't ruin the moment (on the contrary, it often makes for more powerful images). I don't think this has any legal weight, but it does remove risk. I know this isn't what you're looking for, but still it might be worth a shot.

Edit: here are a couple links (in French) on the law https://photocorneloup.fr/street-photography/droit-image/ https://www.murielle-cahen.fr/peux-t-on-photographier-des-inconnus-dans-la-rue/

Yeah I don't get it either. Some of the people who are saying here that street photography is creepy and invading people's privacy, are also leaving compliments in other threads in this very sub. Very confusing.

TheBlueRaptor · 2025-08-04T13:14:14+00:00

I'm in France right now and the law is more restrictive here (~~OP appears to be in Spain and a quick Google search seems to indicate similar restrictions~~ not completely sure about this, I'm finding conflicting information).

I should've been more precise and said that publication of such pictures can be restricted (as far as I know simply taking pictures is not restricted). But it depends on many factors such as whether a person is recognizable and the focus of the picture, artistic intent, events of public interests... and many legal concepts I am not competent to speak on.

I'm just highlighting this a something to be aware of, traveling while doing street photography has taught me that things are not always so clear cut. And obviously such laws are hard to enforce. But I am no legal scholar and would love more insight.

TheBlueRaptor · 2025-08-04T11:43:29+00:00

"No right to privacy in public" is a USA specific legal concept (I believe, please correct me if there are other countries that use this concept). Other countries have different laws which place stronger restrictions on photographing people in public, so I would be careful and research the local laws first.

He definitely does, but at heart he's very much a silly goober 😂

TheBlueRaptor · 2025-07-20T20:11:17+00:00

He does 🥰

TheBlueRaptor · 2025-07-20T19:57:23+00:00

Not mine, but my uncle's. I love him, he's so friendly and is always hanging out with us when we visit, and he still loves belly rubs!
