>>4487023exactly the point, your parents hate you by the time you're 7, and by middle age you don't give a fuck about the details of your great grandfathers pointless life. No one has any reason to give a fuck about you, if you're living for other people, you might as well end it now bc in 3 quick generations no one will be left alive with any living memory of your existence. You'll be as interesting to humanity as some random shoemaker was in the 1300s.Better find a fucking purpose in life, bc if it's breeding your way to relevancy like a dimwitted suburban housewife, that is absolutely nothing.
>>4487031oh look its the angry liberal, this time telling us why he’s so angry>the grapes are sour anyways and anything people used to do and think is for idiotsHumans are the only thing that is economically and philosophically real. Everything else is made up by humans. Gold has no value. History has no value. Only dynasty even comes close to being true. Cloning yourself to maintain an empire. You only think reproduction is pointless because you have convinced yourself to own nothing and possibly even that ownership is bad. The people who instilled these values in you believe the complete opposite and take reproduction as a form of cloning so seriously that they are highly inbred to the point of having unique genetic disorders and use genital mutilation to differentiate themselves from what they own. And that what, is quite a lot, including you.

>>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.

>>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

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...

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.

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

Some photos I took for a friend in Oregon a while back - any good?
>>4486346It's just not worth putting effort into replying to someone who doesn't care, even if some bystanders could use the information. Is it hard to understand?

Has anyone got experience editing their photographs for print? I trialled a few papers and found I like Ilford Smooth Pearl because it's best for a range of global adjustments, even if it's a bit too shiny.If you have printed, how many times did you have to print to get what you wanted? If I want to sell prints, should I just accept this is going to be a big learning curve? So many papers change how the photograph comes out and it's not an exact science. Postproduction is as much an artform as capturing an image with the camera.I'd love to hear what you have worked on and what you learned. I feel a bit in the dark but will probably realise what I want from my prints in the future. Some people can look at a print and immediately what is wrong with it, but my eyes still need some time to adjust while I learn.
go to a shop where the printer will sit with you for a few minutes and go over your pictures, showing you what they look like on their calibrated equipment. when you decide what look you like, bring them the rest of your files and they will edit them for print.
>>4486047I go to the big box store here and order it on the one kind of fujifilm paper they offer in lustre finish (also the only on offer) and it comes out great. There are no real alternatives untill you go to botique printing shops that'll assfuck you for price because the only people who can afford the hobby are normally rich Eastern Suburbs boomers.Anyway,>NRGo lighter on lumainance NR than you'd normally accept for digital. Chroma NR should be basically the same though. Noise is hidden decently by the ink printing compared to digital viewing especially since you can't zoom in. >ExposureUnderexposed sections are exaccerbated (i've tried 5 different shops and this has been constant, ymmv) so you're better off lifting the shadows a fraction more than you'd be happy for digital. The extra noise is hidden rather well by the ink as above.>SharpeningEdit for digital viewing as normal, then do another unsharp mask pass specifically for printing; it should look slightly too crunchy on a screen but the purpose is to overcome the micro-smearing from the ink. This can take some trial and error, as you can absolutely still oversharpen and it'll look like ass.
