contributemostly wanted to experiment with the 'natural' setting on the K10DI think I used -2 saturation, 0 contrast, +1 sharpening but I adjusted it here and thereI also played with color correction in the WB but it wasn't too greatalso, /digishit/ general bread
PICTURE STYLE-1 high/low key adj.-1 contrast-2 sharpening

>>4486671>the firm I worked at thought being able to go ultra wide was useful for shit like pools and nice landscapingThey didn't care about distortion? 14mm is already a little odd looking but still comfortable, while 10mm is going to be just too much.>Policy was on the inside we'd start at 18mm and go wider as needed to get the whole room in shot Policy for one place I was at was to have the room look as large as possible, but also avoid things like dead space as much as possible (such as only showing a small piece of the third wall and having the other two walls the focus), so it was always a balancing act. Houses that were still furnished also needed extra attention to height and angle since the distortion on furniture could look bizarre. I had to take a photo of a tiny bathroom once and the toilet bowl ended up looking like a giant oval kek.>>4486905Ah yes, I'd forgotten about cropped. Everywhere I've been at has used full frame so I forget about people using cropped.
>>4486885>(predominantly far left wing) artiststhere literally aren't any rightoid artists. the creation of actual art is a leftist concept. all rightoids can do is co-opt and pervert existing art

>>4486909I think you're really going to have an easier time getting a scanner.
>>4487492Probably, but if tripods etc do exist with angle locking/snapping as a feature I'd be interested in it for other reasons anyways
Where do (you) host your /p/ortfolio?
I have a self hosted instance of immich. Does the job. Just link to an album
brzi.baThough I only uploaded one wedding on it.
Github pages for a static site. Images uploaded to Cloudflare Images. I just have a simple HTML site with image urls embedded.

>>4463791Create your own website and run it on a VPS. It's not hard.
How is every photo with him in it a work of art?
>>4486764That's exactly what I'm doing right now, hope you like it
>>4486767It's awesome, good way for the board to get betterLess photos and more shit posting!
>>4486746You got caught as the OP of the reposted Oregon broad that you tried to pass off as your work, the proof is you're continuing the same meltdown here. Who do you think you're fooling when you can't even fool yourself?
>>4486786lol I wasn't the OP, and those photos aren't mineI did post some of my own photos later in the thread if you bothered to look
>>4486786At what point did I ever claim to be the OP? In some of my comments I even mentioned OP and then I got told all feedback was useless since the photos were old
Your photo must be at least 5 years old. If you are new to photography - share the oldest you got.
This photo is around 5 years old now I think. Never bothered to process it before now
>>4480826I hope no one tells that guy that I've been uploading 5+ year old photos on RPT that I only edited recently.

Should wild subjects have privacy?
>>4481665Best thread on /p/ right now Greatest question of the century in photography.
This is one of the reasons why I appreciate photographing insects. People care a lot less. There's like a million of them.When we have like 4 owls in that one patch of woods and there's 50 photographers going after it (exaggeration) I can see where the issues start. So much attention will disrupt their lifecycle. And when there's so few individuals...
>>4481665A dog will lick its cock and ass right in front of you. Privacy is exclusively a human need
>>4486605The dog is just making a statement
>>4481746oh deer
I'm really lost on how much sensor size matters, because while I read tons of gear stuff here and the most detailed explanations, in reality the photos taken with a small sensor still look good to me because it's about composition, feelings, emotion, subjects and things like that.So what's the deal with sensor sizes
>>4486368>>4486367>>4486363Wow! Splendid shots. We love people contributing awesome photographs to /p/! Is that german shepherd being photographed with a 3 strobe setup on a medium format digital camera? So cool!
>>4486277Shutter speed is nice, but I'm not sure low ISO really matters that much anymore. Clean photos are out, we want the grain anyway.
>>4486390agree, you're going to put fake grain on your pic regardless, just reduce the chroma noise leave the luma and voila you saved a step processing
>>4486385I don't like this it's bad
>>4486371Nice shit post lol
What's your favorite Ken Rockwell photo?
>>4486058Ken's an icon in the hobby, one of the internet OG's for photography. His website is still great as a technical resource, but he's always been shit on for his editing style, and growing family. Mythic meme tier now, like Bob Ross, or fit's Scooby.Here's some of his last few years of stuff. His modern stuff is still quite saturated, but I feel like really suffers from over sharpening. He also makes use of perspective correction / keystone adjustments very often.
The king of smartphone photography.OversharpeningOversaturationHighlight slider to -100Shadow slider to +100The ultimate Ken preset
I dont even think he's that bad. His photos are over saturated sure but thats just his thing
I hate his style but it's definitely his own. Lmao this thread.
>>4486395The Roy's sign photo is unironically really good. His oversaturation style can work, but the issue is that he just uses it for literally everything.
I want to share a small project I have been working on for the last few weeks. It is a self-portrait mini-series called "Authentic Sinner," inspired by the fresco of Giotto called Virtues and Vices. I tried to find the five vices that represented me the most, although I am also trying to respond to society's vices as a whole, as well as the representation of the vices in the history of art. This is obviously an ambitious project for a first-time series and was not executed professionally, but I learned a lot about executing a concept in the process... I was a bit camera shy at first but learned to perform, direct myself, and shoot with a self-timer. The outcome could have been better, upon reflection, but I am happy that I tried my hand at a creative project. Please be as honest in your critiques as possible. I was told to work more on my angles, try to make the still life less flat by pivoting the camera more, to use dutch angles, finding better backdrops, as well as learn how to arrange a still life (mine is lacklustre). I will retake the final self-portrait (Infidelitas) because it isn't how I want it, but the prototype is good enough to show how I want it to be presented, as a (cross-shaped) polyptych.Self portraiture is a really fascinating genre and I hope anons try to take it up in their spare time. It's a great way to express yourself and learn more about the artistic, reflexive, and ruminative sides of photography. I learned a lot about myself and the methodology of photography in the process. If I have time, I will finish the last two sins: Inconstancy and Foolishness, but I think they bleed into the rest of the vices in the theatrical and carnivalesque ways in which I performed.
>>4486431this one has potential, but the board with all those scribbles on the back ruin it, now theres nothing erotic on this picture, theres nothing hidden or left to decipher also it would fit more with greed not envy.
>>4486478That's too descriptive, please keep feedback general statements only like good or bad
>>4486428I like the idea of a polyptych. Concept is good. This is better than any photo individually which is to say if your photos were better, the final product would be better.>>4486430Missed focus. Bible could tell more of a story than you handling it after applying face paint. Composition is pretty poor. It's like a collage.>>4486431The gold face paint and movement is good. The cards should either be scattered at random or placed like they're being played. As it is, it doesn't look like anything. Let's see the back of some cards, too. The placement of the cross doesn't suggest anything. Is there any reason you wrote on the paper digitally after taking the photo? Why yellow? Use a higher contrast color and write it physically.>>4486432I like the dirty knife but it shouldn't obviously be a kitchen knife. Your wrath is neutered by the three inch blade. Your empty hand should either have something in it too, or not so close to the camera. Make the knife hand complement more. Your cross is the same color as your teeth. It needs more distinction. The suit is a nice touch. Maybe bloody it? Dirty it?>>4486433Lower the f stop. The vulgar still life on the table should be in focus. "Picasso is dead" kindof works here. It would have more impact if there wasn't something else to read. I would actually paint something crass on the canvas, like a dead body or something. Think John Wayne Gacy. Then paint words only on the palette for a stronger effect. The mirror is actually pretty good on the table. I would perhaps raise the camera up to look downwards more at the table and the mirror. Don't block it. Additionally, it should reflect the most impactful item on the table. Probably the nastiest seafood you can find. Additionally, spray some glycerol or something on the seafood to make it sweaty, greasy, etc.>>4486434Overexposed, hard to understand your concept. DESU I like your skin for this series. Let's see your ass or something.Good luck.
>>4486489>>4486433Sorry, I meant raise the f stop value. Greater depth of field.
>>4486489>lets see your ass

Who the fuck likes this focal length? What is its purpose?
>>4483824Yeah I mean the other way around 28mm on apsc is 40mm ff
>>4483555chek'dTOPMINT+++++ no fungus
Just bought a 28mm lens fuck you dipshit queer
I much prefer a 35mm. And if I have to go wider, I'd rather pick a 24.
Luv me 24mm APSC, simple as.
Does anyone here freelance? Any tips to make it a stable source of income (even just side income?)I have done photography freelance on and off but I cannot seem to find clients who reliably want photography. Just connections and odd jobs here and there. Any tips for finding good clients who reliably want stuff done?
>>4486251This anon, this
Another thing to try would be local bands/music events. If you're actually interested in a local music scene, you don't even need connections at the start - just go to concerts, take photos, be the guy with the camera. If you get any good ones, send them over to the band/organizer, they'll want something to put on their social media, and if you snapped something better than what their friend with a phone did for them, they'll be happy to post it, tag your page.Once you have some sort of portfolio/connections/reputation, bands need photos somewhat regularly. They need some sort of "press kit" for their social media, for event posters, etc. That needs to be updated when lineups change, when they record something, or just to refresh every 1-2 years or so. And they might want photography/videography once in a while at their events to have something to put up on their social media.t. not a photography freelancer, but I do music at a semi-pro level, so I've seen this from the other side, where we've hired photographers and paid them decent money.I guess this can generalize to any event-based hobby/entertainment, I personally just happen to have experience with music. That said, I'd suggest choosing a thing you personally are interested in and would go to the events even if it's not a paid gig for you. You'll likely need to do some "for your portfolio" photography at first, so best if you're getting value out of just going to the event, and you're interested in what you're photographing.
>>4486226There's a lot of money in doing freelance upskirt photography. Obviously some risks that have to be navigated but the money is there.
>>4486269you'd need to live in big city with overflowing music scene, real good connections and be the best/the top 1%/the only photographer around to actually make any money. I don't live in a shithole yet bands rarely if ever seem to care about marketing photos to the point of actually paying for them. promotional material is rarely needed on level more complex than outdoors photo on brick wall background snap by band girlfriend and commercial live music photography is obsolete and as good as dead with smartphones and social media. i'm still going to grind my shutter on shitty bands in dive bars because I love it (and free entry to all events is nice) but there's very little money here. would be nice to have at least some cash to supplement my dayjob and i might have to train myself in any other genre that's more viable
