  • yeah no i think i might block you, their joke was clearly better than your "fake ad"

  • Alright, thanks man :)

    I think at the time of taking the photo, I might have still believed that a larger F-Stop means the aperture is wider. But this comment section has taught me a lot since then!

  • Yeah, I definitely noticed the "you pick two and deal with the third" thing.

    I think the trick in most cases is to

    • Set the ISO as low as possible, depending on the lighting of the scene
    • Set the shutter speed, depending on if it's a moving target, such as animals
    • Set the aperture to even out the brightness
    • Play around with the ratios, as needed

    That worked pretty well for my latest tries.

    When I made the barn photo, I did have that composition in mind since I played around with compositions in the past, but literally had no idea what's important for the exposure triangle. I pretty much just pressed buttons until it was bright enough and was lucky it looked good, besides the grain

  • Thanks for the detailed comment :)

    Unfortunately, there aren't any fireworks soon where I live, but when the time for new year comes, I'll try it out.

    But from my previous tries to photograph firework I do know that on a smartphone, it's basically impossible xd

  • [OC] Just getting into photography
  • Thanks for the nice response :)

    I've heard Darktable a lot, and I've actually looked at it before, but it looked intimidating and I did not yet really have any photos I could try to edit, so I continued doing that first. As for the webcam thing: I have a capture card, and it kinda works, but I'm not too sure on how to get a clean output through the HDMI port.

    However, I'll definitely look into those things :D

    As for the lens thing: I don't think I'll spend money on new lenses immediately, and if I was, I'd look for cheap used ones. I kinda wanna create art and not necessarily perfection, and also I don't like spending money xd

    I think it's about finding character in the gear you have.

  • Daaamn, that is crisp. Funnily enough, i did the same thing with the same camera like a year ago, but yours is much better

    That might be due to me not knowing what I'm doing and because my tripod screw on the camera is somehow a bit loose.

    Sadly the instance where I posted it from got shut down, so I don't know if you can access it. If you're interested, I could dig the files up

    A few days ago, I got myself a Canon EOS 700D DSLR camera along with a Canon EFS 18-55mm lens for about $160. Until now, I've only ever used point-and-shoots, like my smartphone or my "Kodak" Pixpro AZ401.

    So, it's basically the first time I get to properly play around with the exposure triangle and all that good, manual stuff. I already love this camera, because despite the low cost, you can get great shots in auto mode out of the box, but it's also very versatile in professional photography. All that, and I still haven't even gotten into editing raw photos; this is just the JPG!

    This particular photo of a garden shed was shot with:

    ISO: 6400 Exposure: 1/395s Aperture: f/14 Focal length: 46mm Resolution: 5184x3456

    From what I've heard, those settings aren't ideal, especially the high ISO for that much light. Does anybody have some general tips for me or resources to check out?

    By the way, I also just installed Magic Lantern. That's some great stuff. Oh, and also - if anyone has a good way to connect it as a webcam on Linux, that's also very welcome since EOS Utility doesn't work and Gphoto2 is very low-res. The first thing I didn't get properly running on Linux!

  • You know what? I didn't believe you, since I'm using it for a long time on Linux and never had any issues with it. Today, when I helped a friend (on Windows) with some SFTP transfer and recommended FileZilla was the first time I realised the official Downloads page provides Adware. The executable even gets flagged by Microsoft Defender and VirusTotal. That's actually REALLY bad. Isn't FileZilla operated by Mozilla? Should I stop using it, even though the Linux versions don't have sketchy stuff? It definitely leaves a really bad taste.

  • Hello lovelies!!!
  • I'm just gonna say it: Potato salad is NOT THAT BAD!

    If it's made by your grandma and with the right ingredients, anyway.

  • Hello lovelies!!!
  • better than the other way around.

  • Where to Recycle Filament?
  • You should probably look into if there's a company doing this local to you. Either way, I'm very interested in this too.

  • Old timers know
  • People don't use FileZilla for server management anymore? I feel like I've missed that memo.

    These two posts were pinned by communities that I follow, but since then they've never disappeared. I don't know if this is intended, but it seems annoying, given that the subscribed tab is all I use.

    These post start to get annoying, but I don't knkw how to get rid of them without blocking the OPs for no real reason. :(
