Well I guess he arrived to the stop
Hockney is based bruh But I wish his subject were as strong as his style
>>4513855>>4513854>>4513853>>4514039These are cool as fuck. I still hate his boring paintings though.
In my opinion this is similar neurotic nonsense than Cubism>wow bro we see things from multiple angles and I have to capture that and show as one moment in time
>>4514097I've been thinking about your post for a while. I think if his subjects had too much import or gravitas, it would seem inappropriate by such a whimsical style. The appropriateness of his subject and his means of capturing it are matched.Imagine world leaders signing treaties or young rebels fighting a guerilla war. There would be dissonance at a few levels. I agreed with you initially but now I don't: I think his subject matter is fantastic. Makes me want to try this tight cubist style for myself.
>>4516001It’s not about the gravitas of the subject, it’s about the general interest. The story the subject is telling. Take >>4513855What is this man thinking behind the cig? He seems to be joking in some of the face shots but also contemplative in others. It’s a naturally intriguing subject that creates a narrative that is enhanced by the way he presents the subject to us. But a lot of the other photos are just unique collages of snapshits

Accuracy and the mundane will be the next big thing.
Hey /p/, after years of slowly learning the basics of photography, I think I'm ready to get into the world of portraits. The one small issue is that I don't have any good sources of references other than here for learning the different poses, angles, lighting, and everything else to make decent photos. Don't get me wrong, there are amazing threads that pop up here, but with the gear talk and the shit posts, I really want to branch out and find some from the outside. Instagram is what most people say, but I also want to find stuff that's unconventional or just really creative. So are there any websites, books, or photographers you anons can recommend to check out? Also would love to hear some tips and pointers for a noob like me starting out, especially when it comes to "directing" and posing a model
>>4516521Fill flash, even on camera works well. You can also use a softbox to block out the sun, blending the flash power with the background. >>4516625>>How do I take photos with no shade at all? >Get in the shadeWtf
>>4516694>What's the best way to deal with shooting in harsh light, I often find myself at midday in an open area>Find shade or if not possible try xyzPretty easy to understand if you aren't retardedUnless OP is only ever shooting in the middle of a field, shade is always never far away on a sunny day
>>4516625>>4516703I ask because there's a nice open park I like going to, but there's no shade close or tall enough to actually use when it's the middle of the day>>4516694I do have a speedlight for on camera flash, so I'll probably use that. I did some further research and saw that people also reccomended getting an nd filter for wide aperatures/bokeh? If so, I might also look into getting that
>>4516709Shooting in completely lit areas, with no depth in foreground or background, and bokeh blasting is a recipe for the flat "green screen" look.This guy does tons of just natural light photos on sunny days, but you can see he almost always is leveraging the shadows when possible, or just shooting towards the sun.youtube.com/@caliallstaring/videos
>>4516709You don't need more advice - you need hands-on experience. Put a speedlite without modifiers on your camera, learn to use the zoom, and go shoot. Before messing around with NDs, change aperture to achieve native sync speed.
Insta and whatever else thread for wherever anons post their photos.https://www.instagram.com/mondatta.photography/Do any of you tend to go for certain themes and styles? Or just try anything?
>>4516525Thank you kindly!
>>4516526You're welcome anon.
>>4512319I think I still follow the old one.It's been a while since my last shot, but I still have my camera. I hope one day I can start taking portraits.https://www.instagram.com/fjtsc/Nice to see the old posters still checking in.
>>4516522>I'm just trying to understand how photographers approach social media when it comes to protecting their work.There's 3 ways, first registering your photos under law but this should be done only if you print a book and register its contents as a project, not every individual photo unless the entire session was to pull one single photo. Expensive in the long run if register every photo, also overall tedious, but fool-proof.Second way, which is what anon mentioned, is having the original RAW. It contains the metadata and nowadays it also can be backtracked to a singular camera via noise analysis, hence why you have to edit an overlay of grain if your picture has some illegal or questionable content as cops can profile the noise to a specific camera and other photos taken with it.That includes the JPG, and like anon said too, if you have different shots from the same moment it also tracks, but mind this that if someone claims all the pics by law you practically end up not owning them anyways even if you have all the proof, particularly if they have a good lawyer. So uploading them to sites that give you default copyright claims is a good move, and that's the third way, uploading to those sites and reading the settings. Flickr gives default rights but you can set it to creative commons royalty-free among other legal stuff, sites like Instagram makes you default give them the rights to distribute your pictures as they see fit, they won't seek ownership if you publish or do stuff with it but they can use them too without asking you.Hidden watermarks are also a thing, some anon long ago hid it in vegetation or clouds.
>>4516594Wow, thank you for all this info and the detailed response! I’m definitely screenshotting everything you guys shared I really appreciate it !The hidden watermark idea is really good idea.I actually bought a kodak charmera a while back and have been enjoying it, and I also have a Panasonic Lumix GX85 with a 12–32mm lens. I like street photography, but I’m mostly trying to just focus on shooting more consistently and not worry too much about settings, and just seeing what I like and what I want to shoot. Talking to you guys honestly makes me want to start using my Lumix more. Thanks.
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?
>>4514256cool as f*ck desu
>>4514256That's the good stuff
ill make a zine one day wit darkroom printsit'll be the best zine ever
working on a zine now using some film i just got developed. Captured corners of my city that people will recognize pieces of. dirtylittle zine gave me a print out like this >>4503146

idk mane
Thought the sky looked really beautiful and haunting so I took this photo with my phone. An hour later the thunderstorm arrived.
>>4503753sky out 10. Would reply again.
>>4503753This looks amazing. It feels like being there. It looks real just like real life.
Not sure how visible it will be after compression, but there's a skydiver with a huge American flag in the distance.

Let this guy outside yesterday. Heavy crop.
>>4513969Hawthorn/st marks fly. Every year there's a bajillion of them in my area for a few weeks.
There are like millions of setttings, how do I know which one is the best in my particular case?I've tried to watch some tutorials on Youtube, but couldn't recreate that super fancy feeling you're getting from fashion magazines. For example pic rel is my slop, is it possible to fix it somehow to make it look decent for Instagramm at least?

Bump for engagement, come try editing
Why is it so fun to BTFO photos sometimes?
Happy 4th, anons.
Pictures with potatoes in them give me a quarter chub edition.
>>4515359Mmmmm, tasty...
>>4515739we need a /p/ hall of fame threadit would be great if oldfags could contrib anything they saved from anons posting last decadeI’ve got a folder of about thirty or forty images
>>4515739these photos look like shit. ur retarded
>>4516383>>4516018>>4516017Someone’s mad he didn’t get in the hall of fame
>>4515739?? maybe three of these are remarkable. better photos than most of these can be found in every rpt>>4515154tried too hard? anon didn't try nearly hard enough. for one, the people in them are barely noticeable
For the past couple of years I have been practicing photography with "circuit bent" cameras I have built. I am gonna share a few pictures, give some explanations as to the hows, and hopefully inspire some people to pick up this form of photography.Just a disclaimer here, I haven't edited these photos at all besides maybe cropping them. These are how to the photos come out of the camera.
Last one for now.
>>4516370I love every shot ITT but especially this one. The melting effect I love.
>>4516370you printed red and purple pla over your photo?
All of these are just snapshots
>>4516336>No one really does that anymore.Days ago i posted what i consider the best lenses for Nikon F and i don't think anyone read it>>4516340>userbase is so small now that any feedback is welcomed at allWe are at year 2006 or alt-imageboard levels, you now know what it feels like but to be fair old forums that had decent activity also died down, the Bentacks forums, Manual Focus Lenses, even mid-life dentist crisis forums like FredMiranda.After the plandemic it all tumbled down.
