Recently I have been trying to get into medium format cameras but there seem to be some very strong, polarizing opinions about pretty much most affordable options out there (I am excluding Hasselblads, Mamiya RZ67, etc from the discussion). This is in contrast to 35mm cameras, where I feel people seem to have a consensus on some cameras that are no-brainers. Following is a brief taste of sentiments that have kept me from pulling the trigger on anything:
- Mamiya RB67 - light leaks, bad dark slide mechanism, accidental double exposures, etc.
- Mamiya 645 Super/Pro - prone to breakage of internal plastic parts
- Mamiya 645E - made in China, poor quality control, etc.
- Rolleicord III - bad Triotar lens, dim waist level finder, etc.
- Yashica Mat 124G - overpriced, plastic build, etc.
So is that the case for every medium format camera out there? To me, it feels like I am having a difficult time figuring out which factors matter to me and which don't. My requirements are that I am looking for something for casual landscape/generalist usage. Don't need a system camera with multiple backs, lenses, etc. Even with a good medium format camera, I will still use 35mm cameras more often and I already have somewhat of a system for my Nikon F3. At the end of the day, I just want something that I can buy, maybe get CLA done if need be, and start shooting, kind of like a point-and-shoot.
My family are all getting custom printed mugs for Christmas and I thought that an ATLA mug would be cool!
Bonus if anyone has an unedited screencap of the my cabbages scene
For Eg : I will push for a more tournament based system, rather than a schedule filled with long and pointless Bilateral series. I will also increase the boundary length limits to 68-70 m and push for more neutral or bowling friendly pitches to make the game a little bit more Balanced.
the linkedin one needs to be cellphone format (1080/1350). so do I just shoot the video and zoom in afterwards. Or what's the best way to do this
I've seen both as a performer, but I don't know which would be best to provide. Half sheets would fit in a flip folder with a little trimming (and in my college band days, nearly all of our rehearsals were out of flip folders), but full sheets would have better visibility from a music stand.
If it makes a difference, I plan on offering my music as PDF downloads, rather than shipping hard copies.
I currently own an old and very crappy TLR, from which i want to upgrade to a better and more modern Camera. With all the available options i feel overwhelmed in making the right decision.
As said in the title i do mostly Landscape and Architecture Work, sometimes also Documentary Photography and very rarely Portraits.
My Budget is currently around 450€, but i can wait longer and save up more ofc, but anything over 700€ is most likely not possible.
My general preferences would be:
The Camera shouldn't be too heavy as i am often out and about with my gear and maybe want to take it on longer hikes. So something a bit more lightweight would be great.
Interchangeable lenses aren't a must but is good to have.
I also don't really care that much for interchangeable backs.
The lenses that are available should have a decent quality.
And i don't really have a big preference in aspect ratio.
Which Cameras would you recommend for my situation?
Hi there!
I would like to make a present to my best friend and my sister who are in different countries at the moment. I thought having a personalized illustration for each of them would be a nice present :)
SIZE: I would like to have two landscape format illustrations in a 'cute' style digitally painted. I'd like to print both illustrations so they can hang them in their room so I am thinking about an A3 format.
CONTENT: I have a picture for each of the illustrations and would like the illustrations to be based on those. One is my sister and me at a table celebrating her birthday when we were kids. We can only see us from the chest up. The other one is my best friend and me during a trip in Japan (there are some trees in the background with a lake and the picture cuts at our chest).
DEADLINE: It is not in a rush but I'd prefer to have them ready within 3 weeks max.
PRICE: I am not familiar with the pricing of illustrations here but I would like to pay €100 max in total.
Feel free to DM me your work or portfolio :)
I do this traditionally and I got some good ideas so I was wondering what idea I should do for my next project until the next Monthlyredraw (If I get enough time I can do some of the other ones in order of most voted)
Note: It should be obvious with this that I prefer to draw Non- human beings a lot
