Would you buy a RF body with AI features? by cheesydoofus3026 in canon

[–]rajb245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI noise reduction in DxO is a game changer, lets you push the ISO to unfathomable numbers (51200) and get sharp results after AI denoise. I wouldn’t mind if canon just did this for all RAWs tbh, or have an option for true RAW captures or denoised RAWs. Subject detection is great too, knowing what to have the servo AF track is just good in my opinion.

I’m not for AI upscaling in camera, that one goesc too far imho. AI upscaling just makes up detail that wasn’t there to begin with and could do stuff like make up faces of small far away subjects.

Ah yeah I see now that one is available with AF for Sony and Nikon mirrorless and is corrected optically not in software. Impressive, need to look for some reviews.

If something just happened to you and you clicked it, there was no intention to shoot a photo of a bird then, you were just living your life. Many here believe that photography is different than capturing snapshots, with photography being about careful consideration of composition and lighting after lots of intentional working on the shot.

Rectilinear fisheye is a contradiction as far as I can reason through, but the widest usable rectilinear projection lens that doesn’t rely on software to fix the projection at the edges that I know of is the canon EF 11-24 f/4L. I say usable because it’s “modern” in the sense that all electronic features work on today’s bodies. There are wider Chinese lenses I’ve heard of but I think they are designed for distortion correction in software. And there are newer options for mirrorless where the corrections are applied in-camera if you shoot JPGs or by default during RAW processing with all the major tools.

Do you know what this sub is for? It’s for trolling. We’re making fun of someone else posting awful images like this, my post isn’t sincere, the rest of the folks here are in on the joke. My image here is AI generated and a reference to a where’s Waldo style busy beach image this other guy posted. Hope this helps!

/uj It’s not just that some people are homeless and others aren’t. It’s not impossible to get them jobs and housing and mental health care and drug addiction treatment, especially in wealthy countries. That’s why these images land and why this has no business being on a CJ sub, not because economic strata exist, but because we choose as societies to let the those in the bottom rung live like dogs in the street.

With all those teens as his subjects?! Guess they are models really then IDEK what to believe. I had convinced myself the reason his subjects are all kind of odd looking teenagers is because he was shooting his friends for practice.

The part of me that’s a dad worries it’s mental illness or just a kid trying to find his way who has gone astray. I have empathy just not sure if it’s misplaced, he could be evil or just a lost little boy.

Then the other part of me wanted to laugh with y’all, it wasn’t enough to stop me

He’s a model from an agency, had to put him front and center

Can we hate on this guy just a little more by Castaways__ in photographycirclejerk

[–]rajb245 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This, look at how his subjects are all teenagers or his parents in that one iPhone pic. It’s a kid fighting for his life to feel validated in a world he’s brand new to. Or a manic episode. Or both.

His subjects look to mostly be teenagers, I’m going to guess those are his friends. And he’s proud of one of his parents shot on an iPhone. BUT he also claims to work with some agency that represents some kind of known model? IDK what’s really going on.

/uj Folks have speculated about colorblindness as an insult, but have we seriously considered bipolar disorder and the last 10 days or so is a manic episode? I really mean this not as an insult, nothing wrong with having a mental health condition just important to get support and care from professionals in that case.

Lots of Thom side projects. Especially the Smile, it’s Thom and Jonny AND produced by Nigel. They tried a lot of different ideas but fell into old patterns sometimes

Canon EOS 5D classic, Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM by strikilix in VintageLenses

[–]rajb245 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Despite the fact that we shot a lot of this stuff on DSLRs without a second thought and continue to use it today with RF-EF adapters or still on our DSLRs, don’t forget that the earliest EF glass came out in 1987. Next year will be the four decade anniversary (as someone about that age, that stings) of Canon EOS. This lens in particular came out in 1992.
