Hey, I haven't been doing this hobby for very long. I wanted to know how I can improve. I took the photos with a small camera I found at home.
>>4470150Use ChatGPT. It’s unironically a remarkably good tool at learning the basics of photography and you can use it to progress at your own pace.
>>4470165terrible advice, chatgpt gets things wrong constantly and if you are a novice you will never pick up on itif you have questions about technical things, bring them up here so you can observe the autists and schizos that lurk this board tear each other open like wild dogs in the pursuit of “best practice”the thread we had on ETTR vs. zone placement was great, I learnt from both sides.>>4470150>I wanted to know how I can improve.Describe what you do when you take a photo. Be as in-depth as possible. This will help us understand where you’re at. Post more photos, too.
>>4470165>Room temp IQOP, do not listen to this moronic waste of bandwidth.General advice is, look up the exposure triangle and understand each of their roles in changing how the photo comes out. Basically:>Shutter speedFreezes motion or allows motion blur, a fine line to tread. The longer the shutter is open the more light you capture.>ApertureAllows more, or less light in through the lens. Reduces Depth of Field of increases it accordingly.>ISOIncreases signal (Higher ISO makes the image brighter) but this includes adding noiseThere are a few other interactions I've glossed over but that's pretty much all you need to know.And look at some basic photography composition rules like the Rule of Thirds. These rules aren't gospel so much as ideas to help you compose an image more thoughtfully. I also found that shooting in Black and White simplified things so you can focus on messing with other shit. Last thing, if you shoot JPEG that's fine an' dandy and really who gives a fuck if that's good enough for you. However, if you shoot in RAW as well (most cameras allow both at once) you can go down the rabbit hole of post-processing which is its own thing but allows you to get more creative and/or squeeze more image quality out of your shots.Comment too long.

It's an art piece by Elisa Bracher called "Ponto final", which translates to "Period" (as in the . sign)the guys were just cleaning the stairs, doing their job, not minding the humongous metal sphere they see everydaybtw love these two>>4464640>>4464642something about the logs of wood in the foreground and their textures and colours add to the otherwise peaceful nature backgroundsit adds an element of change and instability

Does anyone have any advice for semi-stand developing with caffenol? I'd be using the process to develop some Kentmere 200 and I want high contrast and something moderately sharp. My biggest fear is fog, and I can't get potassium bromide for a reasonable price locally. I've read some stuff online that suggests that iodized table salt can be used to prevent fogging, but can't find anything about it being used during semi-stand development. Anyone have experience with this?
>>4470174Are you doing this for fun? Cause if not rodinal is cheap as fuck and everywhere nigga damn
Where do you hire models these days? It used to be that you could just go on modelmayhem but that shit's been dead for years. Presumably there's hoes on instagram or whatever, but you can't even search using # anymore, so that's no good either. So what's the scoop?
>>4469961Man knows what he likes and he sticks to it, I can respect it
>>4469961>From what I dealt with, they either never shower or just never wash their costumes.What the fuck.
>>4469936Yeah exactly. but idk if im just banging whores or if women like cameras cos its always a yeah sure photograph me
>>4469961>From what I dealt with, they either never shower or just never wash their costumesyou are just making my pp harder anon
>>4469961> they either never shower or just never wash their costumes. This reminds me, a coworker of mine was telling me a little while back that his girlfriend texted him while he was at work, and asked him to pick up deodorant on his way home. He said that he thought to himself "I wonder what reminded her that we were out of deodorant at this point in her day? Oh right, she's at Comicon right now, that makes sense."
Drunk ordered one of these last night. Got fomo seeing everyone falling back in love with photography, using the optical viewfinder and onboard flash. Did I fuck up?
>>4469807The new Ricoh is probably for you
>>4468282WHY YOU NEED F1.0 LENS FOR TAKEING PICTURE OF FLOWER AT MINIMAL FOCUS LENGTH OR BACK OF PERSONS HEAD??? THAT IS NOT REAL ZENIT, THAT IS LEICA M240 WITH 6-BIT CODE REMOVED. EVEN USE SAME M-MOUNT LENS AS NAZI BASTARD CAMERA. IF SPEND ALMOST FIVE THOUSAND FUCKING EUROS ON DIGITAL M CAMERA GET ACTUAL LEICA NOT SHITTY KNOCK OFF THAT COST AS MUCH AS 20 SOVIET HOUSEWIFE. FIVE THOUSAND EURO CAN BUY REAL ZENIT CAMERA MADE IN SOVIET UNION AND HAVE 4900 LEFT OVER FOR TRAVEL AS LONG AS YOU GET PERMISSION FROM COMRADE COMMISAR.
I found one of these just off the trail while hiking to a waterfall in Washington last year. Had a bunch of pics of someone's dog on the memory card.Judging by the date stamps on the most recent photos, it had been out there more than a month before I found it, so I brought it home and dried it thoroughly before charging it and attempting to power it on. I got the light on the back to light up, but nothing displays on the LCD. Still might try to disassemble it and see if I can fix it, though it looks like there's moisture in the lens, so it might be toast.

>>4460982I did the same thing but with the XE-5. I am pleased with it so far.
Post your man bags
Manfrotto Advanced Shoulder bag M IIIGOOD STUFF, CANT FIT SHIT IN IT THO.
>>4464558I might honestly copy you. Bag looks crisp for a Pentax fan>>4464650I find non descript backpacks are best, messenger are for when I want to feel ghey
>>4465233I wear a collared shirt every day because I don't want society to judge me (I'm 30+ and am a tall white man)a backpack is fine but I look like I'm going on a hike or something with the 2 different straps pulling against my shirt. my goal with my gay bag is to look like I just have my phone and wallet in a work bag and make people not think I'm carrying gear
More people should wear Douchebags
Gets the job done.
>new camera for $99>better build and image quality than $600 Pentax 17
>find cheap industrial sensor>do some calibrations measurements>create some film simulations>apply shitty plastic lens>profitwhy does nobody do this?
fuji would be retarded to not straight up target this segment at under 200 dollars
>>4470096What is this meme of the Pentax 17 ring poorly built? It uses composite materials but it’s actually very solidly and well built. Using plastics doesn’t mean it’s poorly built. I have no concerns about knocking mine about on the daily.
>>4470101Kodak blind bag cameras.
>>4470096buy an ad faggot
Is the concept of always having a camera on you to photograph daily life something reserved for the rich (or unemployed)?How are you supposed to create a body of work based on day-to-day experiences when you're in an office for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, slaving away for corporate overlords? The only time I can see myself doing this is on a month-long holiday overseas or something. How the fuck do they do it?
>>4468957>level up your skills and shoot other people's pets in foreign countries, pic related.I don't want Reeves chasing my ass for revenge.
>>4468963>John wick but his dog got AIDS instead of deathitis
>>4468963>cinefag low key threatening to shoot Moop's dogClassy
>>4467763I think this is one of the single most retarded posts i've ever seen.It literally takes a second to take a photo and if you can not even think of a single thing to shoot during the course of your day then clearly have no business on a photography board
>>4467763God this board is just autism lmao
Get back out there edition.
>>4458181Needs more contrast and b&w correction. It's too grey. Also, there are a lot of artifacts that you need to clean up. Often they're not distracting but these are because they're in places where your eyes are going. >>4458319Better. Still lots of artifacts - especially on the black of his shirt.>>4458689I like this, comp is good, but the grad filter is too much. Makes the sky muddy.

terrible fucking day, they were asking 4x the regular price of a ticket just because there was an "orchid exhibit" , fuck orchids I am not paying for that, all I wanted was to test my new meme macro ring, so here at least I can say that it works ok.
>hmmm what to do for fun today>it looks rather windy today>so of course I shall go outside and photograph teeny tiny flowersI'm a drooling retard sometimes
This macro stuff is pretty hard

>>4469233You're very welcome, kid.
>>4455031>>4455077>>4455078>(Oversaturated) Orange and blueIs that the new black?
>>4469981I mean it's not just that, it's the heavy editing and composite shots that while yes, I still believe is a form of photography, is a bit fucky to pass off as reality and/or your default photo output.Like, it's consistently the same thing which treads a fine line between integrity and being overdone.Kockwell would be a better photographer if he laid off the sat slider and the predictable colours, but unironically it would make him a less pronounced figure in the community.
>>4469995He understood the power of memes before anyone else
