Fadikkop<p>Ich bin Fan von meiner <a href="https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/tags/Canon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canon</span></a> (mit <a href="https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/tags/MagicLantern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MagicLantern</span></a>, echt coole Firmwareerweiterung für Canons, kennt die jemand?). Manueller Fokus und eine echte Blende (nicht das unscharfgerechne, was ich bei den tollen iPhones bestaunen durfte) sind schon einfach praktisch. Und die 300€ (inzwischen wahrscheinlich mehr) geb' ich gerne für eine gute Kamera aus, die ich jetzt schon 6 Jahre nutze, wenn ich sie dann nicht in ein neuestes <a href="https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/tags/iPhone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iPhone</span></a> (mit tollen digitalfiltern, die ich auch immernoch am Laptop nachbearbeiten kann) investieren muss, sondern sie mir bei der Wahl meines Handys die Freiheit geben, nicht mehr auf die Kamera achten zu müssen sondern nur darauf, dass es ein custom ROM unterstützt.</p><p>Langer Satz, gerne auf Grammatikfehler hinweisen.<br>Gedanken zu Nutzung von Smartphones und (deren) Kameras.<br><a href="https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/tags/camera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>camera</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/tags/digitalcamera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>digitalcamera</span></a></p>

@byAndreas🤟😌✨<p>My little canon eos m with this manual 35mm cctv lens paints the most lovely blur. I use Magic Lantern on it, mainly for the 10x zoom that helps with setting the focus. Together, it makes my photowalks so meditative. It forces me to slow down, to frame the shot, set the focus and hold still… ✨😌✨ <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/canoneosm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>canoneosm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/magiclantern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>magiclantern</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/canon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>canon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spring</span></a></p>
