Added 2 banners. >>1941 flipped on its side until I can think of a better solution and one of these from /comfy/, see >>>/comfy/14791
I may swap to a different gondola banner if the one I picked proves to obnoxious.

Post pictures that you've taken to share them with other anons. Talk about the things you like to take pics of and what camera you use. 
I'll start. I use a Lumix FZ48, and I like to take pictures of nature, and I want to get into more Urbex pictures.

>I don’t know what I should even be doing with my life.
Been there, still there i think as currently i find no way to buy a house or get a qt gf without enslaving myself again, so i am using all my money on cameras or eating out.
>I’m just glad Trashchan has worked out so well 
We almost got axed if it wasn't for our current BO saving the board at the gates, i was away in the rural areas without internets, barely could post a notice by using the wifi of a public library or i don't recall, i think it was that one time i asked for some mobile data from a neighbor but the library was how i lurked here at first.
Fucking hell i also didn't remember you were a 8ch /p/ vet, your first images (my folder says) were posted on 09/02/15. I still need to read that book about making photobooks and make a quick one about what i gathered from that first instance of the board.
>so I make sure to take several shots of the same subject to make sure I get one that pans out.
Happens all the time to me and i get mad the pictures i like the most are the random shots in the air i did out of reflex, rarely the ones i try to compose.

I got a knack of looking at paintings and drawings to get a bit of composition but my attention spawn got screwed in recent years so i only see the

For the betterment of our users we shall proclaim a small library of resources like PDFs and videos. This is the place to share personal ways, known names, discovered channels, own documents and particular files that can enhance our abilities in this hobby. 
But due to concerns regarding the hosting size made clear to me by our admin we should upload them externally via media share sites or, in the case of videos, refer to a site or quick way to get them. Pretty simple activity but i do recommend using trusted filehosts, obscuring names, using passwords and other assorted privacy measures to avoid bots or crawlers from taking content down. I mean we are not sharing anything illegal and we sure are not pirating anything either but it's best to be reserved :^)

From my part i just finished organizing and uploading a bunch of stuff you guys might find helpful. I will make a post for each theme and probably recommend one or two documents from that batch, i haven't read much other than the stuff i bought but i will try to make the best bet from what i've gathered in the many previews i did, otherwise you can check the list and see what you fancy as there's probably the high chance i might've missed a golden standard or just very good document.
I still have many files left in reserve and will post the topic names if anyone is curious or needs some, honestly those didn't get up because i got tired and rushed to gather essentials.

I am exploring some obscure photo channels now that i've "awaken" recently from my slumber and i am finding how even oldfags in the medium are seeing something going on, for example this chap called Keith making a video just chilling around and commenting on photo forums and their seeming dead all around, pointing at specific dates which i found interesting enough to post here:
As you can see he found that in peak DSLR days shit was thriving, namely 2012, but things took a dive in 2016 and died in 2019-20. Those dates do correlate with our imageboard days too but for seemingly different reasons, namely 2012 4cham eternal summer peak, 2016 eternal election period and the happening of 2019 (8chap dying and the splinters in the webring) leading to the 'rona years of 2020-22, our admittingly bitter stagnation.

Then again if at some point i felt bad about our patch going slower and slower it seems it's a thing in several parts of the internet, by now we can suspect in a good chunk of the photographic community but i wouldn't be surprised now if we saw similar patterns in hobbies like comics or cars.
While the now-old meme of "Dead Internet" has been around since before the plandemic i think nowadays it's getting even more air time due to the very obvious differences some experienced denizens are finding out, even drooling dummies like good old Vegetable Police/Camera Conspiracies, who is usually way behind the truck regarding anything not cameras, is noticing the obvious.

You would almost have to. Unless it were capturing some unpredictable event just off the cuff. A lot of documentary film guys stages stuff too I have discovered..

Let's look into some of the famous, and not so famous, photographers' works to get some inspiration, ideas or entertainment by looking at some of their pictures in small dumps.
Also serves as a way to force myself into enjoying this hobby without a camera.
Anything goes as long as you like it enough to expose it, in my case i will post some of them once in a while in a constant format.

Thanks for posting this. I love noh and kabuki masks and costumes.
>it strikes me in particular how similar some of those look like the traditional chinese counterparts, like the lions and the cranes.
There's a lot of cultural crossover between Japan, China, and Korea. Even though they get on the outs with each other every few centuries they're inextricably linked together. If you really want to vastly over simplify Japanese culture you can think of it as imported Chinese culture (partially direct, partially by way of Korea) combined with native Ainu culture.

In case you're wondering, the first three characters here >>2014 aren't oni they're namahage. They're a sort of imagine if Santa Claus and Krampus were combined together into one being. It very first one is, I believe, are appossha which is a regional variant of namahage.

Dreaded but necessary, this is the spot for discussion towards the hardware and perhaps some of the software.

So after a couple of days of updating myself i find that there's an actual fucking global shutter full frame camera and that it came before Sigma releasing their Foveon FF, also that Sony released it before Nikon did despite the rumors stating otherwise although that doesn't surprise me due to the sensors being Sony-made.
That means my economic objective will point towards the possible Nikon global shutter camera rather than the Z9 which i had doubts due to it not featuring high-res mode, i wanted to wait on a possible Z9 II but now i am looking both ways. Also torn between the 24-200mm or the 28-400mm Nikon Z superzooms.

Also Bentacks released a monochrome APS-C and Foodgee a new hipster faggot bait X100 model, plus Nikon with legit nostalgia bait in the Zf. So much GAS and i still haven't bought anything other than the 50mm here >>384 but with the japanese chassis aka all metal and multi-coated, ironically cheaper than the plastic version and in an american antique shop. 

Still don't know what to buy to record video despite the mission being getting money for that, perhaps not even a fucking hybrid camera but a full-blown stabilized thing like the Ronin 4D shit i keep seeing but know nothing about. Also no flashes in hindsight, should've sold drugs tbh.

I think it's either a very minor sort of light leak, or, more likely, surge marks around the sprocket holes from the lab. This was on 35mm film.

I don't think it's a light leak because the area is darker there which would indicate less light. But I'm also not entirely sure how this would happen at the lab. It might have something to do with my scanner. Still pretty happy with how it turned out.

Hello there buddies and welcome to /p/, the board dedicated to all things related to the visual time machine. 
I want to mention i'm going to try my best to be as off-hands as i can be regarding discussion to exert the max comfiness possible, but we are still bound to follow our hosts' rules plus some comments of mine:

1. Follow the global rules, which are based on the Romani 2012 Criminal Code. They can be found at our Home page but in short they state that we should:
	a) Avoid posting or requesting information that might harm something or someone, these include social security and/or financial card numbers, registration plates, an asshole's physical direction, comprehensive government structures' layouts, etc.
	b) Avoid posting sexually suggestive images of individuals from the genus Homo that were under 18 years old, or might appear under said age without ID confirmation, when the images were taken. 
		b.i) In this segment images of "juveniles simulating sexual behavior in a credible manner" are also included, meaning realistic 3D renders are prohibited. Such are the drac laws.
	- Because of what constitutes "suggestive" is a subjective matter, the "Bas" Dost test can be performed by a judge (in this case the BO or A.C's administration). 
	- It contains 6 questions or factors that constitute if the poster is guilty or not, the number of positives to give such judgement is where the controversy begins but to keep it simply i'm going to state that:
	If it is suspicious that's a spoiler, if it turns me or a G-Vol on that's a delete, if it is highly arousing to any man then that's a ban
	- The difference between Grigori Galitsin and Garry Gross is the legal team, you might back that up under U.S. law but this site is based on gypsy land, so we reiterate an urgent appeal to avoid these images.
2. Spoiler gore or NSFW content because Canadians and Australians might bug and harass our host's administration if otherwise. We are currently classified as NSFW but the eternal leaf still doesn't care.
3. Do not spam gore/porn/nude oeuvre made to incit a normal sexual reaction due to the aforementioned reason. 
	- I will consider "spam" the action of posting more than 5 times something tertiary to the topic at hand or from the reply chain.
	- If the topic IS nudes or something very related (the oeuvre of a specific photographer specialized in that, for example) then this rule does not apply, but Rule 2 still does.

I hadn't really payed attention to this thread before. I hope it gets more content because I really like this sort of thing.

This reminds me of something but I'm not sure what. Maybe it some graphic illustrations from the 70s of architectural designs or something of that nature.

In this thread i will try to post stuff i recall vividly from the days i used airports in vacation days, duty-free shops and high-end malls, then try to beef it with some product context. 
The days when wide reflective corridors smelled like expensive perfume and booze, when cigarette ads where overlooking everyone sitting down reading fancy fashion & travel magazines filled with nothing but ads.

So, basically a thread for discovering and studying advertising trends and sometimes a bit of /fa/shion due to the curiosity of the brands behind some products, or also using it as a tool to promote an otherwise not-attractive thing. In my case i will focus mostly on fragrance products but there will be notable exceptions.

This one could've been considered normal some years ago, something resembling an old fashioned swimmer getting out from somewhere with a dark sunset downtown behind her, presumably L.A.
Lulu again but in full motion now, what a sultry albino mink, would. Funny how they need to add grain in the photos so these shoots don't look like AI-generated stuff, and yet they still do because the bottles are computer-rendered. Also the whole thing, and even stuff since the plandemic, feel dark and soulless despite the closeness and colourfulness like The Substance showcased in full glory shit movie btw

Catering to all audiences here, note how the asian is chosen for the most historical of names here, Vent Vert, referencing what we previously discussed in >>2001
Although supposedly these don't smell remotely the same, not so much because of regulations but because Roustein had nothing to do and re-imagined these on his own volition when he was resting after some weirdo freak accident in which he severely burned himself from a gas fireplace explosion at a dinner party and whose flames on his body mysteriously didn't extinguish completely even after throwing himself into his basement pool. His own words, i can only imagine someone chuck full covered in Vaseline for something so drastic to happen.

So that's the journey of Balmain under the passing eyes of a fragrance enthusiast in the mid-20's with access to image search engines, we can see a modest luxury house going full diverse extravagance in the last decade with too many product fronts, some saturated, which isn't really a rare thing to see in that world but it makes me wonder what the hell is going on. And as usual the years of shifting trends appear again, 1945-47, 1968, 1980-82, 2007-8 and 2019-20.
