I'm an amateur photographer, and last year i took some pics (november and december). Here are some of the ones i liked the most
>>4495797No it isn't. There is an actual process, its don't just tiktok colour grading lmfaoMaking the colours that are there interpretable =/= editing colours! Hope this helps! :D
>>4495009Focus in closer, probably faster shutter also and wider apeture to compensate.Might just be a product of your lens but this is quite soft and I think there is some motion blur worsening it.>>4495010Motion blur. What ISO were you using indoors? I assume using auto metering?>>4495011Pick a point to focus on, currently everything is soft and blurry which leaves you with no clear subject.>>4495013Small edits to remove the "haze" of scans but yours don't seem to have that, the colours in all these seem fine to me.
>>4495012Somehow I feel like a shot of this at sunrise or sundown would be even better.
>>4495798>>4495063> Most people don't mess around with the colours of film Although technically correct it's a misleading statement. If you shoot film routinely you will find out the colors are highly dependant on how the scan were made, and many film stocks will look like dogshit if you make them scan by a random shop that doesn't know what they are doing (harmann phoenix...). So yes most people don't edit because they don't give a fuck, yes when you open the jpgs from the shop in lightroom it's already over, but being involved in the color editing process is a big part of film photography in my opinion. And it's actually the same for contrasts, if you are satisfied by the midpoint the scanner from the shop automatically picked for your photos that's great, but if you want a bit of creative control over the image you cannot leave it to the machine.
>>4495009cool contrast >>4495010very blurry>>4495011cool but blurry>>4495012mehCool pictures but the sharpness is shit, are you shooting with an Ektar H35?
Who's all still posting here?
>>4496409even worse, he was a m43 shooter

>>4496416>>4496410>>4496409Never change /p/, trying to make humor out of a rough patch in life.I love you all and hope you find everything you're looking for in life.
I'm still out here.I shoot from time to time.Got involved in an ai startup a few years ago and have been busy.
I need some advice on posing people who are awkward in front of the camera.It's always been my dream to do these kinds of super staged portrait shoots and I've finally built up the confidence to ask some friends to take part in a shoot. However from snapping a few pics of them previously I know that they're kinda awkward in front of the camera and after doing one shoot a while ago I've realized I'm not too confident posing people yet.Making him wear sunglasses helped a bit, but other than that I didn't really know what to do other than instructing him to just look into the distance and that kind of worked.Any advice or shared experience is appreciated. I've heard that you're not supposed to micro-manage your subject's poses to make them look natural, but I'm not quite sure how to actually do that.
>>4496392Okay, also looking at the pic I choose (some random image from my inspo pile) made me realize that maybe some of this feeling of "awkwardness" is subjective, because I know how they look "naturally" and maybe someone who doesn't know them wouldn't realize they're looking off.The guy in the pic might or might not be fully comfortable being photographed, but you can't really tell without knowing him
>>4496392Models needs a bit a time to relax and to assess that they can trust you. I always try to have at least one hour for a photo session, and I go gradually with the pointers.
>>4496392why does he look like he's about to cry then shit his pants kek

Mostly too wide for me.If I go wide I feel like there should have to be a good reason to. Dwarfing a figure in a frame is usually bad I've found. Like you barely ever see a painting like that.Theres too much going on in the frame and pointless stuff, keep clutter away. Just a few patterns, surfaces and shapes is better.This crop is what I mean but the mast is in wrong place so I'd shift he boat further away from guy. There's like four textures

A professional DP shot this. Composition is atrocious. The scene is "lit" horridly, making the bad CGI look even more fake. Color-grading is just plain ugly, everything looks plastic. This triggers my autism more than it should, but I can't be the only one, right?
>A professional DP shot this.It's 90% greenscreen. Barely anything was actually "shot"
>>4495965>It's 90% greenscreenStagecraft is more likely. Pic related was shot in a studio, before a massive LED wall. By a DP who understands light, composition and color, and it earned him an Oscar nom.
>>4495957Anon, those movies are the definition of slop, they know the only people still watching those are kids and retards. No one cares.
>>4495957No idea what movie that is, but my rule of thumb is that if a movie looks this obviously shit, especially if it's a big budget one, chances are the people doing the actual work are painfully aware of it, but just weren't given the time/budget to make it to the standard they would have liked to.People love to complain about bet CGI, but I don't think anyone clocks in in the morning thinking "I'll make some ugly CGI today". More likely it's some poor underpaid overworked artist trying to make the best with what they're given
shot is fineit's for kids not everything needs to be two tone, it needs to stay somewhat faithful to the game palettebetter than the yellow green trashlighting is fine both the CGI and the actors are backlit5/10 bait
So, which of the big companies is going to be the first to offer an affordable 100mp camera?Fuji is obviously already out there, but this thing is Eight thousand dollars. I suspect that when it happens (eventually) it will be Nikon. I feel like historically they are the company which has introduced high end features at a lower price.
>>4496249I appreciate that I am a sped, but where did the socializing with LLMs come from?
this thread really set /p/ the fuck off. why? there's even a follow up thread to this one right now in the catalog where the seething continues.did fuji buck break the field of photography?
>>4496330what do you think Grok is? The world's most autistic man made it cause he had no friends.
>>4496341Everyone here is on welfare and get triggered by someone having more than them. That's why there is so much DSLR posting too
>>4496343I never said anything about grok, that's different people having a different conversation
How does /p/ feel about zines?They seem fun. You print your stuff, distribute it however you want, and people look at it. They might toss it in the trash but at least you made an impression.You can make them for pretty cheap. I made some lo-fi DIY-style ones with my visual art at home using just an inkjet printer, and I've been dropping them in random places for people to find.Anyone ever make zines?
>>4494459
>>4494460Yes, It's pretty good for the price. Maybe I'd like denser paper for my next project.
>>4494460And thank you!(Sorry for the faulty orientation, I thought I corrected it).
I'm working on one now. My local library can't print color, only copy it, and Staples doesn't have any options for edge-to-edge printing in-store, so I can't ensure the correct proportions (and it's too expensive to chance). So~ I've ordered a cheap Canon inkjet. Thinking I'll go into the city and drop them around trendy art places, a few dozen in total. Probably will slip in some self-printed stickers of a handful of AI gens I prompted a few years ago.My hope is that people will like what they see and maybe order a print or two from my website. Consequently, I'm trying to figure out how to offer and price art prints. Anyone have any insight?
>>4495153>My hope is that people will like what they see and maybe order a print or two from my website. Consequently, I'm trying to figure out how to offer and price art prints. Anyone have any insight?Look at the prices proposed by other photographers in your area. And try to include a basic frame in your estimation.
Give it straight to me, /p/. Are Leica M cameras a meme? Or are they worth it?Mainly for portraits, and rock and leaves.
>>4496096Yes, they currently sell lots of important companies to China simply due the fact that they can't maintain them anymore. Other option would be insolvency. Green/left politics made electricity costs incredible expensive. The German state, as always, ignores this issue. They think with China as an investor it will benefit us (lmao).
>>4496100It is in focus, just not tack-sharp. Probably the effect of diffraction from stopping down to f/16 or f/22 to get it all in focus.
>>4496100You should get your eyes checked
>>4496172You should view the image at 100% scale.
>>4496175I did. Stuff is in focus. It might be on the edge of acceptable depth of field, or dealing with diffraction related loss of sharpness, or even just lower quality export compression, and the focus could be slightly off too.Could things be sharper? Yes, of course.Could the focus be better? Probably. Are there things still in focus? Yes.
anyone else lost the will or enjoyment to take photos? i dont know how to get it back and even all my fave youtubers are saying similar things. that makes me worry that its over : (
>>4495559Don't listen to him and continue honing your craft of analog film photography and printing. The pendulum always swings back. Just watch.>>4495542Vit D supplementation can help with SAD.
>>4495540>90 hours a weekYou need to look at maybe getting a different job mate. Working extremely long hours is not good for your mental health. I know, I've done it. I know that switching is undesirable and stressful. But it would give you a new freedom in life if you did at least shorten your hours.I switched from working long and lonely hours, to working with a few other people, on shorter hours, for the same money, and it was a far better experience.
>>4495561I'm trying but it's just one thing after another. I'm getting a new clutch apparently and that's 5k. I'm breaking even at best and I need to get some money saved up so I can get out of this thing and have a life again. Every time I get a little bit of money something breaks and I'm broke again.The good news is, at this rate I'll have a new truck by the end of the year. The clutch was one of the last wear items left. All I have left now is the injector six pack and the gearbox itself and the engine internals.If I did the inframe, six pack, new cylinder head, new oil cooler, EGR cooler and 13 speed upgrade, I would basically have a new truck good for another 1m miles. It will cost me drastically more than that to buy a new truck. The good news is, now I'm going to have to come home at some point and move my Jaguar now that I got it repaired so that will give me a shot to do some shooting.
>>4495572Fascinating! Can I read more about it on your blog? I'm so interested in your car rebuild.
Yes. Had a year and a half break. Then I got a nice camera and begun taking photos every day again to justify the purchase. Got me back into the rhythm of it. You probably just need a break OP

>>4495815Posted the same pic on multiple threads with the same complaints but yeah that's totally your issue :^) You can take shit photos of whatever you like. I actually deliberately left out my critique of your shit composition because I wanted to emphasise that it wasn't about the photo but your response to it.
Anyone else here working a regular job/day job as a photographer? I've been working as a real estate photographer for a while and still do side jobs for things like corporate portraits/events, and I'm curious if anyone else on /p/ works in photography too.
>>4495588>I've come across so many people whining with absolutely horrible and negative mindsets about lifeNot me, I went in as bright eyed as you can imagine and I couldn't wait to get started. To me, it was the dream come true and nothing could sway me from it. Then after about 6 months I was feeling total misery and my personal gear gathered dust in a closet, and my girlfriend really noticed how my camera never appeared on any vacations anymore.It can be this way for musicians as well. There was a pretty infamous Scottish band in the 80s that recorded a stellar debut album and it was played in record shops to show off the sound quality of products, as it was made with pure and meticulous love. When they got a label deal and a follow up was demanded, all the drive disappeared as they kept getting squeezed for more tracks and more progress. The label gave up on them eventually and when the pressure to make more vanished, they put an album together in just a month from scratch and it was even better received than the debut. That's something I think about a lot with anything creative. The best results are when people are left to their own devices, while pressure and things having to be a certain way ends with disappointing results for all involved. Popular musicians discographies are plagued with cases like this where it's obvious some albums exist just to meet obligations.
>>4495684That's a smart observation. Productivity culture is 150 years old now, and while it works for some things, it utterly fails for a lot more. People don't grasp that economic booms have been built on lies and money stolen from future generations. That made it look like really broken things were working great. Music is a great example. Photography is trickier.In all cases civilization went from prioritizing morality to prioritizing physical results, so everything non-immediate became twisted and results are more important than humans, who are supposed to benefit from them in the first place!
>>4495684Yeah, you can't force creativity and it's good to also know when to quit or at least give it a rest. Not everyone becomes successful, even people who work extremely hard for it, so it's good to know when to quit so you don't kill your passion at the same time.That being said, I still hear a lot of people (especially here, because let's face it, you're not where you want to be in life if you're here) who do nothing but whine, bitch and talk down to people who have the drive to give it a shot. I'm just saying life isn't so fucking grim and some people do succeed too. So do what you can to make sure it's you when you have the time/means to pursue it.Creative and documentary aspects of photography are basically polar opposites. You can't force creativity, but you can still have a decent living as a photographer being a "documentary" photographer (weddings, events, gigs, journalism etc.)Like with music. I don't like playing cover songs, but when I have writer's block or just don't have any creative juices, then I can still find fun in playing some cover tunes. Learn some new styles and stuff. You can always evolve.
I forgot to add>>4495684>The best results are when people are left to their own devices, while pressure and things having to be a certain way ends with disappointing results for all involvedSometimes yeah, but not always. Necessity is the mother of all invention or breeds creativity or however that quote goes. It's very true. Some people stall and get burnt by pressure, while others find a way to meet the deadline or demands in a creative way they simply wouldn't have thought of if they just had to sit in their room for five years.But it also depends on the individual how you best work, although being a hermit will make it difficult for somebody to actually get paid jobs or any jobs no matter how good you are.
>>4495739I'm very glad I gave I tried it, as I'd forever wonder what could've been. It didn't work out but it also means I can move on and find something new, with my love for photography and cinematography being retained. It did take a little time to pick it up again after leaving but I'm feeling good about it all again.I don't want to put people off making it their job; but just politely warn that it might not be all it's cracked up to be and it's definitely not for everyone. I really don't know where I want to be career-wise now either but I'll just work a day job while I figure it out. >>4495740>Some people stall and get burnt by pressure, while others find a way to meet the deadline or demands in a creative wayI think there's confusion about pressure or deadlines being the same as limitations. When dealing with just what tools you have, that can breed a lot more creativity than if you had all the tools in the world. And in those circumstances, I'd still expect everyone under no pressure from someone else would produce better results whether they're limited by their equipment or have everything they'd ever need. Someone above pressing you to get something done by a deadline rarely has the best results and that's something seen constantly with things like cars, tech, movies and videogames where the time crunch leads to issues that could've been avoided with just a little more time.I think there probably was a time where the balance was just right for pressure and limitations, but the last 20 years or so have just had things like videogames for example being pushed out before they were ready because executives wanted to make returns for stock holders and get things out for the holiday season.
Have you ever exhibited your work at a gallery?
>>4493865actually the whole show was works i made, includind some hastily made supershort videos. got roped into a sort of research trip with some peeps. made a bunch of cool images from the time. they made a show based off my work. it helped them more than me, but hey, at least one show in new york i guess, right?
>>4493855I got one my photos (a shitty one) in a communal gallery. I didn't even went to see it
>>4493866>anon had an exhibition in NYC>thinks he didn't make itAnon that's legitimately sick even if nothing came of it for you. There are hordes of people who look at that as a dream come true.Be proud of yourself, there's enough hate and faggotry otb.
>>4493855Not outside of like school / student stuff. Some of my images are up at venues or being used as marketing materials, but that's closest I've been. I don't think I really have a body of work tailored towards an exhibit.Went to 5hoe's exhibit when he promoted it here, like +15 years ago.
>>4493866Sounds good. Why didn't you go further? I get most people don't want to get a career as an artist here, but it's possible if you network.>>4493905You should send to the Aperture Portfolio Prize.
