been playing around with my new Hasselblad H6D-400c MS, a little pricey but well worth it. The Model is Mariko, flew her in from Osaka for a week's shoot, she's loving her time in Toronto but man she's got expensive tastes, hotel and dinners alone are costing me an arm and a leg.
Studio is fairly new, space is great and lighting equipment is all brand new, I hate the setting up part but it's a must for great results.
first test shot:
just kidding, this is a 5 second prompt in Midjourney. I don't think physical photography will ever go the way of blockbuster but man it's hard to make a case for it as AI gets better and better.

- Has midjourney broken the 4 megapickels barrier yet?jonny_quest_lives
- all about the megapiickles...jonny_quest_lives
- Give it time...maybe a month the way things are going lol_niko

- was gonna say fuck you and your Hasselblad! jealous.
those A.I needs to go easy with the skin texture tho.pango - as long as nudity stay forbidden as it currently is with all AI related programs, it's not a game changer for meSimonFFM
- it's not forbidden, there are tons out there that let you do it_niko
- @SimonFFM it's slowly being loosened on that from with so many custom models out there. I doubt it'll impact your work yet.PhanLo

- I've seen this guy's stuff before, and I will freely admit I can't watch them because nobody deserves to be so happy.garbage
- Yeah I'm salty, but this dude has never had a bad day in his life. He doesn't have to lord it over us normal folk.garbage
- hah. i always think he looks like he's on the verge of a mental breakdown. his vids can be hit or miss but thought this was really impressive.kingsteven
- I watched this early today, good stuff.utopian
- I'll give it a go. I think the "insanely happy to the verge of a mental breakdown" goes to styropyro, that kid that does the lasers.garbage

- He's happy as hell, but you're thankful because otherwise he'd be using his powers for evil.garbage
- Amazing the amount of clarity he got through that old lens and massive diy setup. Good stuff!aliastime
- This is why I stick around this place. Thanks Steve!toemaas

I dont have any camera right now and iam hesitating between
Fuji XT30 MII
Fuji XE4
Nikon Z50
Sony a6400wich one should i get and why? :-o
- Depends what you want to do with it. Looking at the list, I'm going to assume small, easy to carry, maybe for travel or candid/street photos?monNom
- Fuji is probably the better pick for that. Though I'd also check out Canon M6 ii. It's nice to use and compact both in body and lenses.monNom
- For candid/travel I highly recommend a case like this: https://www.amazon.c…monNom
- When buttoned up you can bang your camera around without much worry, but you are always only a snap button and a flick of the wrist away from getting the shot.monNom
- Fuji XE series is great. small. fast. image quality is fantastic too. lots of inexpensive and expensive lenses to usefuturefood
- I used every XE except the XE4. then I upgraded to another camera systemfuturefood
- But if I was looking to buy an APS-C camera XE4 would be my first choice based on vids I've seenfuturefood
- Fuji has the most beautiful rendering or light and color. Nikon overall best technical image quality. Sony if you’re normcorenb
- thanks for the comments!Bennn
- Any Fuji X100 series you can find...grafician
- Among these, Fuji all the way. Beautiful inexpensive compact lenses and great sensor. XE-4 shouldn't disappoint.spl33nidoru
- Go with the Sony and get into adapting vintage lenses on it.ok_not_ok
- Agree Fuji all the way_niko
- I'm looking into going fuji as well. Wins in street and low light for me.sea_sea

- Canon 24mm 1.4HijoDMaite
- Canon 16-35mm f2.8HijoDMaite
- TripodHijoDMaite
- Any wide angle lenses. You actually don't want to use low aperture number because you want wide depth of field to make everything in focus.pango
- The saturation contrast brightness are most likely done in post.pango
- And tripod +1pango
- Thanks very much you guys. Will manual/auto setting suffice?hotroddy
- Or do you need to shoot at certain f-stop etc?hotroddy
- I know settings vary depending on the amount of natural light but is there any good rule of thumb?hotroddy
- Canon 16-35 L they also make a 10-22 for crop sensors. Shoot it on a leveled tripod at f22 w/ a remoteimbecile
- thanks imb.hotroddy
- good to know about tripod too!hotroddy
- why a remote?hotroddy
- Or 2 sec shutter delay. If you have the patience.pango
- Typically the highest aperture number possible for interior photo. But every lens has different focul point sweet spot.pango
- These have TONS of natural light, most interiors don't and be quite challenging. Practice, practice, practice! FStoppers has some videos.formed
- @hot. Remote because when using higher aperture number you most likely will have to slow down shutter speed. Thus any tiny shake might show up in the photo.pango
- I.e. the shake from pressing the shutter.
Although I don't think a remote is necessary. But why not.pango - Grab one of the photo and see if the exif data is still attached. Some exif’s will show aperture, shutter speed, focal lenght of the lens and if a flash was useok_not_ok
- scheit...they're png'sok_not_ok
- ahh. thanks pango. Good idea. Reason to tether it to my laptop.. and I can trigger shots directly from capture one software.hotroddy
- yes. shitty pngs off a shitty squarespace site.hotroddy
- lots of good exif data here. https://www.flickr.c…HijoDMaite
- the available light in this example you posted is ridiculous, cell phone shots would look like this! lolHijoDMaite
- Flash was definitly used in the photo with cactus.pango
- 16-35 2.8 on a FF definitelyautoflavour
- what about bracketing?helloeatbreathedrive
- You mean HDR? Ya people use that for interior photo too.pango

- Can't be 1913—top image is the 60's at the latest, yoohoo was introduced in the late 20's and that version of the coke logo is from the 40's. Cool pics tho. :)PonyBoy

- FUCK YOU ADOBE!utopian
- YOU'RE RICH!pango
- how is this possible. They charge $10 for every image I download and I have an member account!!hotroddy
- there will be a tipping point when you start making extra cash on this. keep it up man.capn_ron
- also, just think, after taxes you totally made $0.10 on that sale right there! hahahacapn_ron
- This is pretty ridiculous. Any idea how I find out what it will be used for?HijoDMaite
- lol @ ronronjaylarson
- You've made it. Congratulations.mg33

seriously thinking of moving from my 6D to the new fuji x-t2! selling all my gear and lumping in on fuji!
just wondering if any of you use fuji?
- I think Benn & mg33 doRamanisky2
- DPReview gives it a thumbs up!
https://www.dpreview…ok_not_ok - I would go Fuji if I'm not invested in canon.pango
- i want to downsize, my shoulder is still not 100% and i'm finding it awkward carrying all the gear around.cruddlebub
- I am invested in Nikon, but wish I had the Fuji (or Sony). The gear sucks, I take it nowhere these days, just too much (a full suitcase).formed
- same here formed, i want a nice little number that wont break my back to carry around.cruddlebub
- fuji is the best, amen.sandpipe
- my buddy is thinking the same thing. ditching the 7D and going with that. I like my 6D. Weight is just exercise to me. A little jealous of sensors though.deathboy
- fuji best, you buy now.sofakingback
- I've been using the xt-1 for about 2 years now. Its amaze balls. love the lenses.sofakingback
- I did switch from Canon to FujiBennn
- fuji have the best colours, closest to canon raw apparently!cruddlebub
