A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I don’t like Sony (alien.top)

To me it seems like every feature Sony brings forth in their cameras seems to be replacing the skill or dedication that used to be needed to make a good photograph.

Can’t be arsed to time your shots? Don’t worry global shutter will basically let you shoot video. Don’t want to bother getting focus right? No worries, it’ll track the eye of a peregrine falcon mid flight.

I can’t help but think certain things are intrinsic to actually being a photographer and the over production of these cameras features takes away from the skills required to be good.

My 2 cents.

A gobal shutter would allow me to shoot with faster shutter times in theatre. It would allow me to flash faster and freeze motion better. It would allow me to photograph birds, both in movement and with a silent shutter.

I never understood fully why a 30 euro mini camera to guard my home does come with a global shutter, while my camera reads the frame line by line. But it seems to be harder to do the more pixels there are.

The hardest thing about photography should be getting at the right place and time to take the photo, and then point the camera in the right direction.
