- Canon EOS R50 custom menu - What's on yours?
Mine: ISO, Drive Mode, Battery Info, Digital Zoom. I have 2 more slots. Does your camera provide this feature? What is on your custom menu?
- RAW photography processing (including infrared) on an android phonewww.macklin.co RAW photo developing & Processing
This page is really just an index for the pages that describe & demonstrate the power of dcraw & Imagemagick for advanced processing of RAW files.
I've been messing with #infrared #photography using #termux #dcraw & #imagemagick to process RAW files without needing a computer.
There are examples, instructions & the scripts, in mobile friendly chunks, on my #selfhosted website, & the basics are on github too (https://github.com/Linecutterx/PhotoScript) More examples at https://www.macklin.co/infrared-photography-0/
- Autumn in the city
Taken with a regular 'ol potato iPhone 13 (with a dirty lens by all appearances, heh.) Some light editing and noise removal + the perspective has been fiddled with a bit
- Multi-colored anthotype photograph?
I've been looking into anthotypes recently and thought they were pretty interesting.
Then I started to wonder if it was possible to make an anthotype that could display multiple colors (like a colored photograph).
I came across this post and thought it was like the reverse of a regular anthotype.
Which made me wonder if you could use the same process to create a colored picture?
I was thinking if you took plants that produce pigments across the color spectrum and mixed them together it could make the coating black.
Then when the light hits the paper it removes the pigments from the other colors on the spectrum only leaving the color that was hit in that space eventually creating a colored picture.
I haven't had the chance to try this yet and I am not really knowledgeable about photography, but would this work?
- On Digital Picture Printing
Hi fellow photographers!
-
Do you render your digital pictures on paper (print)?
-
Do you use a printer in the home for it?
-
What printer do you use?
-
What printer would you recommend with cost vs quality in mind? (8.5 x 11 prints would be fine)
-
Do you send your pictures to a commercial printer?
-
Do you goto the nearest Staples or Walmart and use the printers there?

President Putin's superweapon is nearing completion and the time for our attack has come.
Many CIA spies died to bring us this information.

- Advice Request - Lens question
First, please let me apologize for my lack of proper vocabulary. 😃
I have a Canon EOS R50 with the stock 18 to 45 lens.
I need a stronger telephoto capability, to take bird pictures, the moon, get that lone oak tree out in a field etc. There are devices that one can place between the lens and the body to <<telephoto more>>, right? Would it be better to get one of these or to buy another whole lens? I am assuming the adapter would be less expensive. Money is a factor. (isn't it always?)
- What camera should I buy
I lost my Canon EOS M50 II. Basically my whole camera gear just spin off from a 3km tall mountain in Austria because I forgot to close my bag. I know...
After a month of mourning, I started to look again to the market, but It's hard to swallow. Prices are manually kept high. Affiliate links everywhere. Old gear is not cheaper. An average smartphone can record 4k video with in-body stabilization, but if you want it in a camera then the body will cost you a fortune. Lenses are not compatible with every body, technology exists for good lenses but they keep producing trash. And I have to buy the trash because of my price range.
Moreover, firmwares are proprietary. Smartphone sync apps are limited and proprietary (As a developer it's quite annoying, that they don't even let me fix their issues.) The raw format is only very rarely DNG but mostly proprietary.
I could list the injustices in the world we live in all they long.
But, I miss the image quality, and I need another one. What do you think, which brand is the least like above? What do you suggest for traveling?
(The photo has been made with my phone shortly after losing my camera, sitting there sadly, but somehow the land is so quite and calming.)
