Hi /p/.I was attending anime con two weeks ago and I would like to dump some (primarily) stage photos and ask for suggestions on improvement. Somewhere around year ago I made similar thread and got many valuable suggestions so I figured out I could ask again. Despite trying to apply more of your advices, I feel like I did rather mediocre this year, compared to previous one, however. But I would like to hear your opinion too.I remember that photo dump threads are generally welcome here but if not, just say so. Thanks in advance for any advice. If you want, I could upload RAW files for selected photos on temporary link like catbox or something.
these are all pretty good for being right at the stage
>>4466769>>4466784Quick attempt.Bit hammy with the spotlights, but you get the idea - Just make the subject pop
>>4466806Okay, sort of recognize what you did. What software did you use?
>>4466812>>4466761Lightroom
>>4466725you'd need to go very fast with ss to truly freeze dance motion. I'd say in this case to try going slower and embrace the slight motion blur. what settings exactly is trial and error to make it look natural as it depends on situation, movement speed and lighting conditions>>4466730yes, silhouette photos fuck hard>>4466745>>4466747>>4466749these are nice but framing is akward, make it symmetrical or go full out of balancemost of them need contrast/levels adjustments, some white balance and colors fixing and some masking to clean up distracting elements due to uncontrolllable backgrounda lot of your shots are "fill the frame with subject" compositions, you'll hopefully grow out of it. leave out some of the content in your framing, get close up portraits, clothing, hands, shoes details. leave more space around the main subject if you can zoom out/walk back. in all of the pictures you posted there's some really good ones. in general take less "safe" photos and get experimental with framing
Why are photography YouTubers so shit? They mostly churn out boring nontent while dressing like a copy of a copy of a copy of someone who thought he might closet cosplay Ansel Adams. Who are they aping?Almost all have the cadence and tone of a best buy sales associate either slowly conniving a golden HDMI cable sale or postponing their suicide on a Sunday evening only since their parents are still alive; with no in-between.I meet smarter and more interesting people IRL at camera club or local stores, so it's not as if this hobby is exclusively for people prescribed Klonopin and SSRIs.Half of them are just talking head slop direct to camera talking about what gear to buy (micro four nerds)The ones that do teardowns and repairs of gear are usually fine, but those aren't exactly photo videos at that point.The only guy that does the "video of taking photos" thing I can stand is Nick LoPresti since he doesn't talk like he's constipated, but lately the lack of constipation has become a problem since he's been diarrhea-shitting up my sub box with low-effort commentary videos sitting in front of a green screen. Idk who he's aping there, 2016 twitch? Don't like it, especially one where he and his wife are politisperging about shit like how "they can't use Google search for inane things because it'll track you" for what feels like several minutes.Snappiness may be my second favorite even though he looks and talks like a queer (he has kids so I guess he isn't technically). At least he does ridiculous things with cameras that are more interesting than "I walked and took a photo of something and had some ennui about it".Also, I hate gxAce with a passion, dead horse of a gimmick beaten into dust at this point. 80% of his videos serve no purpose to the modal viewer since they're just a rain-dance to the corporate marketing teams to get them to send him gear. (Also combining sloppy wet deep-throat glazing prose with an aloof tone is uniquely excruciating to listen to.)
>>4466613The hasselblad 90v reviewShe accidentally stopped down 2 steps and they were her best photos ever bc they were actually sharp. It’s hilarious. Then she continues to shoot wide open
>>4466696>hasselblad 90vkek, she is such a hacknice model tho
I can recommend the old Daniel Norton videos with Marisa, she was so damn beautiful when she was young.
>>4463667stop watching some 4chan recommended youtuber and watch shit you actually enjoy
Gavin hoey is always entertaining. Also, there is another adorama guy that is very cool, a fat guy that calls the models "darling", "love" and stuff like that, very photographer. It comes highly recommended.
This seems to be a topic which includes more unjustified opinions and shilling than researched facts. Searching the internet mainly brings you just Youtube videos, app ads and R*ddit topics where every other claim log curves in smarthpone videos are perfect and every other claim it's just a gimmick.Modern smartphone's curves tend to default Rec709 in 8-bit and HLG or PQ in 10-bit modes. My Snoy Xperia 5 II has Rec709/HLG by default and Camera2API reports the curve (I don't know which one) has density of 128 points. Apps like Mcpro24fps, Filmic Pro can output video files with log curves applied and I'm interested how these curves are achtually produced/achieved. Some people say those are just custom curves applied over manufacturer's default curve (which may or may not include reverse tone mapping). And then there are some claims where the manufacturer's curve is replaced with the selected log curve. App devs don't reveal their methods and I can't find any credible research about it.
I have a nice curved log for you.
>>4461874>there's what in smartphones?
>>4462577Creamy dreamy.
>>4461874my alexa shoots 4444 prores, what's your point?
His creamy dreamies?
Making a thread because I’ll be posting more than 5 photos.

>>4466617this one looks leaps better than >>4466615 likely due to more space>>4466619excellent either way>>4466621idk why i just dont like the first one of these this one also seems leaps better. absolutely has something to do with the framing though
>>4466765yeah i messed with it on my phonei dont like because there is to much space near the top which makes the framing look weirdother than that the majority of these are solid as fuck you got some skills OP
>>4466770it's not as balanced looking as the picture following it

>>4463791a pdf on google docs
>>4466606Is there a generator for that? Can you share the code? I'd love to set up something like that, but I just haven't got the nerve to deal with computers anymore. Learning by looking things up on the web has become unsufferable...
>>4466606Your like XP shot is good if only for a few minor changes that would be submit to windows 12 territory.

>>4434712Best one in this otherwise sterile overly processed STEM brained garbage thread. I really like this anon. Very celestial and mysterious. Nicely composed. It is the juxtaposition of blue, mountains and woods makes it so fucking kino. This is art.
Hello. I figured this was the best place to ask. I'm thinking of getting my first telescope. A SkyWatcher 300P. Will I regret it?
Any love for the Game Boy Camera and printer here?Sure nowadays even the chinkest of cameras and printers may be better with printing via phone bigger and clearer photos but there's a certain charm and fun in doing with with a Game Boy of all things.
Mine had photos from the previous owner, seems like a cool guy. I hope he's doing fine.
Game Boy Color :tm:
>>4463010amazing
>>4462992I have like 10 packs of GB Printer paper unopened. I got them from TRU on clearance for like .25 each.The funny part is that I didn’t get a Printer until like 10 years later.
>>4466372There's a pretty high chance the chemicals in those roll is faded by now, I'd suggest getting new rolls.I've seen people recommend this one if you live in the States.
>some of the greatest photographs of human history were, on a technical level, blurry, grainy pieces of shitTell me again why you need edge-to-edge sharpness, 100 megapixels, and the ability to shoot at 124,000ISO?
>>4464716I like to imagine the secret king that thinks he's doing something by using a bot. Post photos, talk about photos posted and ignore the obvious botting. It's really the only way.
>look at shitty photo why you need camera?>look at shitty painting why you need camera?>look at shitty mural why you need camera?>unga bunga look stick draw stand
>>4464533>some of the best photographs in history were on filmwow it's almost like film existed before digital
>>4464533>Tell me again why you need edge-to-edge sharpness, 100 megapixels, and the ability to shoot at 124,000ISO?Because i need a crop of a corner at night like your pic related
>>4464679It’s the deep state trying to prevent you from enjoying your photography hobby anon
no coloreds allowed
>>4466337really muddy film
rollei infrared, rz67
more IR, mamiya 6
these were a couple years old before i developed them. forgot how i exposed so i used stand development
I enjoy the process of photographing quite a bit, I enjoy editing, I enjoy every stage of the photographic process. However, at the end of it all, I am left with a bunch of nice, edited photos, and they just sit unseen on my hard drive forever. What are other anons doing with their photos after they have something they are satisfied with?
>>4466322>lly dont make things social just to make things social. Male photography is about taking ownershipThis is all so hilarious because I DO like to take pics to share on social media, I am also a married millenial male with a child, and I can bench 2x my bodyweight, whereas you are a coping basedlet faggot telling me who the real man is. OK buckster, go get em
>>4466353That homo sounds like a lesbian to meIt IS manly to do shit for yourself, but men can still decide to share. It's just most white women are raised being drip fed narcissism so they can't even imagine doing shit for themselves without involving at least 3 other people (but they prefer 300+).
>>4466242What? White men colonized the whole world.
>>4466354>>It IS manly to do shit for yourself,WEAKI VVILL SPREAD TERROR IN HEARTS OF MY ENEMIES WITH THE GREATNESS OF MY PHOTOGRAPHSI VVILL MAKE THEM SUBMITI VVILL FUCK THEIR BITCHI VVILL GET PUBLISHEDI VVILL CONQUER THE ART WORLD
