The new Caira AI camera lets you edit the clothes and accessories on photos you took.

ONE SINGLE STEP further and this becomes instantly unethical.

Nothing is trustworthy, nothihg is real, the dead internet theory is here.

emulating XPAN highlighted why some people fall out of love with their Fuji TX's/Hasselblad Xpan's without the cost, the frame is pretty hard to compose for day-to-day, you MUST to be at the right locations.

First outing with the Leica IIIf I repaired myself 💪also first time shooting Ferrania films!
80 ISO put me off for a while but I kept seeing/hearing how good the film is.
Shame they're in constant financial purgatory.

some 35mm shots from a photowalk with Photodom NYC last weekend, Mamiya did the most heavy lifting especially after I realized my Nikon F80's film door latch had cracked...

A #harmanphoenix2 stress test in a fully automatic point and shoot. This is a HUGE improvement over Pheonix 1, but like Phoenix 1 it needs to be shot at a lower ISO than advertised.

woke up to a Dune sunrise.

which do you prefer??
Im most suprised how much bloom there is from the Sony despite stopping down to f/11 whereas the Nikon was shot wide open on a relatively ancient lens.
