it was taken INSIDE a relief camp. anyways, vultures don't hunt live prey, they circle overhead looking for already dead carcasses.

he was waiting for the vulture to spread its wings for a more dramatic picture.

This. If he turned around he'd be looking straight at the food distribution center- it wasn't a camp per se, either, just somewhere people came for food. The plane landed, all the mothers ran up to jockey for food, the kids were left to wait for their mothers to come back. He's shooting a kid waiting for food, not a vulture waiting for food.

every now and then anon tends to post same really good shit. like>>292728- it's really perfect imo. and it always tends to be the filmfags producing the good stuff. which is why i wanna be one too :D

documentary, photojournalism and portraiture(not the shitty deviantart type) are my favourite types of photography because they tell a story. although some sometimes the meaningless art/design/fashion ones are really awsome - in a formalistic sense.

I shoot more digital than film, simply because I can't afford film. But I probably upload a similar ratio because more of the film shots are keepers. Also I've just started a photography degree which is almost entirely film. So I guess that's going to change.
That said, the most recent film I shot sucked.

didn't know you get IR cameras for general photography, i thought it was just a filter you attach to your lens which only lets IR waves through :|
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
>>296651
Standard digital cameras have an infrared filter attached directly over the sensor. This is basically the opposite of the 'Infrared' filters that you can get to stick on your lens--it actually blocks out infrared light, whereas the others block everything-but-infrared. I'll call the type that generally goes on the lens an R72 so I don't have to keep saying "IR" filter in two different contexts to mean two completely different things.

So if you put an R72 filter on a normal digital camera, the R72 blocks out most of the visible light and the IR filter on the sensor blocks out most of the infrared light, which leaves very little light actually hitting the sensor, which means annoyingly long exposure times wide open with a fast lens at ISO3200 in broad daylight.

You can, however, get your camera modified for IR, which basically involves removing the IR filter over the sensor and replacing it with an R72-type filter. So then the only filtering is of visible light, with lots of IR light hitting the sensor (digital sensors being naturally sensitive to infrared). The advantage of that is that you can actually see through your lens to focus and frame (the R72 blocks most visible light from your eye, too), and exposure times are reasonable again.

Downsides:
1. Focusing gets a little wonky, especially at wide apertures. Infrared light doesn't focus at quite the same spot as visible light, and lenses are optimized for passing visible light. The good places that'll IR-modify your camera will also adjust the AF so it works with your lens...but they can't adjust it so it works with ALL of your lenses (maybe if you have something like the higher-end EOS models that let you specify a per-lens focus adjustment).
2. If you want to take a non-IR photo, you're screwed.

True. But newer and cheaper ones don't, sadly. Of my four Canon lenses, only the 35/2 has the IR index mark.
>> Anonymous
>>296777

I don't know why they started doing that.
>> Anonymous
>>296790
Because they figure no one has a use for anything to do with manual focusing anymore. There's not even depth of field scales on some high-end L lenses. You think they'd at least sub an LCD readout on the body that just told you, for instance, "11, 5-?m," indicating you're focused at 11m and in focus from three meters to infinity. On top LCDs, it'd even be better than on-lens scales, and of course a digital readout of any kind would be even more accurate.

As far as focusing goes, overall, it's pathetic that an $8,000 1Ds Mk. III won't just apply compensation itself for IR when the little Hexar AF (professional fixed-lens point and shoot made in the 90s, quieter than a Leica) for a few hundred would. It also automatically compensated for focus shift when stopping the aperture down.
