    Fun with Sony Cameras 2024

    I'm amusing myself with 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Top, typical side-street in Honolulu. There are still some Quonset huts in use. Below: Merchant Street in Honolulu made over to represent Belgrade for an upcoming episode of "NCIS". Entertaining to watch, as on cue, cars would drive down the streets...

    More and more film fun with something other than a Leica M

    Nothing too serious: All shot with Lomography Konstruktor plastic DIY SLR and Harman's new Phoenix color negative film.

    I used to enjoy the old Leica-Users mailing list. Originally there was no wiki, no archive, and no forum, just a Majordomo mailing list. And I preferred it that way, because content arriving in one's inbox was guaranteed fresh daily. Because while a wiki or never-expiring forum content can...

    GetDPI is already effectively paywalled, in the sense that premium content is offered to subscribers of Elements and Medium Format magazines. And the bulk of the free forums are built upon user-submitted content. The latter varies in quality, but the price can't be beat! There's always going to...

    My comments about r/photography were not about its content, which is super-generalized, but about how content is delivered. I speculate that a common problem with long-established fora is that stale content may receive equal weight as new posts, even if no one continues to get much value out of it.

    Reddit? They claim 5.3 M members for r/photography. I wonder if some critical differences versus more traditional forum setups, is that the former allows content to be upvoted, which can give the topics greater visibility. And conversely, posts can also be downvoted, and effectively buried...

    How does a view camera or technical camera, as compared to any other camera, help you to see/visualize?

    I've owned 4x5 field cameras in the past, and have enjoyed them, even if I never accomplished anything of particular note. But the elemental simplicity and ease of manipulating perspective and depth of field still intrigue me. Inspired by an exhibition of Edward Weston's works, I've toyed with...

    Well, kudos to @olafphoto for wanting to try something, because I get the sense that traffic on this and pretty much every other photo-related site has shrunken to a fraction of what it was a decade ago. But ironically, I think the site has become more focused on creativity in unexpected ways...

    I wonder if the FF-and-smaller fora have suffered from being too brand-specific, whereas Medium Format is unified.
