In April/May I went to China to my brother’s wedding and took a bunch of photos there. Since I’ve got a lot of photographs, I was thinking about getting some feedback as I’m trying to improve and got that feeling that I’m stuck. My photos doesn’t have a well defined style, so the compositions and color grade floats a lot.

>>4505996>>4506000>The lenses had to be in a stack with the center lens on center.if it was taken with three lenses, we'd see way more parallax "CA"but all I've seen is from stuff moving in-frame in different colors, which also implies multiple shots on a single lens>Top left corner roofline is off set in a down/up angle in the top and bottom imagesthe framing offsets in >>4505619 are probably from imperfect alignment when moving the plate between the shots, otherwise the top & bottom images would be offset in opposite directions relative to the center oneso yeah, all evidence points to a setup like Miethe's 1906 >>4505938 on top
>>4511141Thank for your input and I can't argue with the logic.A closer comparison to other three frames would be important.If the declamation in framing observed in the sample I gave is consistently present,I would say no to the theory.You would not move the base the same way each time in other locations for other shots.My description includes your offset angles approach. Center lens straighttop lens 20 degrees downbottom lens 20 degrees up.Odd none of his gear was in any photos. The Mirthe camera seems gigantic and cumbersome. I don't see how you could slide into the next frame regularlywithout a noticeable difference in border framing. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
New to 4 Chan my name is Olivia
just b urself olivia there's no rules except post photos, talk about photos, and don't talk about not photos.
>>4510489bro why is there spaghetti all over the place here
Hi Olivia,Welcome, you will probably come across some very bitter and mean people here and realise 4chan isn't the place for you.However, if you are determined to stay, stick to the /RPT/ (recent photo) threads, or other threads specifically about photos. Most of the most active threads on this board are unfortunately about buying camera gear or having arguements.Good luck
>>4510464>tldr: just shoot photosWhen you take a photo, try to have a clear subject in mind, or at the very least intresting elements. When you take a photo, what looks good to you in person will not always translate to an image as it has to flatten and compress it, and you lose a lot of the small details as a result. I'd reccomend going through the threads and looking through them, avoiding the arguments and gear talk and focusing on the pics themselves. Find ones you think look nice and interesting, and think about what you like about them. Lastly, the most important advice of them all, go out, take photos, and just have fun
Thanks for the advice
Well, to start, I take the photos with a Sony Cybershot from almost 15 years ago. The maximum size it supports is 10MP, and although I can adjust the ISO and shutter speed, I still can't properly handle the aperture (or I can't find it). So be honest with me, how terrible am I? Besides taking a lot of photos in the dark.
>>4510484On that pic the subject is too dark, if it was daytime the shot would be goodBasically the picture is set up to draw your attention to the statue but its all dark so you cant see shitWhat lens did you you use? You probably just needed a fast lens and a f 1.4-f 2.0 setting for that shot
Subject, lighting, composition -that's the triangle of photography. Your pictures fall short in all of the above. The subject is boring and there's no regard of the light or framing.
>>4510484>What is missing from my shots?Soul because chilangos don't have any
>>4510484Look at the overall shapes, and the subject should be most prominent or draw the eye, squint your eyes and see the shapes, what stands out.You totally fucked the first photo, is it a troll? You should have had the statue with a sky background but you've made it look like a dalek.
>>4510484>>4510486> What is missing from my photos?Photography (especially when not staged) is the art of curating what you want to appear in an image. You are doing this backwards. Ask yourself: what was the ideal image I wanted, and what is getting in the way?> I have a digishitMost people will probably tell you a good photographer can make great pictures on any camera and they are right. However, I don't think anyone can become a good photographer with any camera. First reason is, if you don't have full manual control over your camera, you won't learn the technique necessary to achieve your vision. Second is, to become a good photographer, you must enjoy the act of taking photos regardless of the result, which is very difficult on a digishit. Third reason is, nobody including yourself will take you seriously with your digishit, and that's important because any good art need someone with enough confidence to create their vision and put it out there. > Am I a talented photographer?The honest answer is, I don't know, but realistically no you're a clueless amateur. Not because your photos suck, but because you posted only 2. Exceptional masterpieces aside, photography works in series, like poem do. Each image work to strengthen a general vision you want to communicate. By posting those 2 photos, you show me that you have not put a tenth of the effort needed to communicate something interesting through your art. You must do better. Make a series of at least 10 photos that communicate a concept or vibe you can explain in 1 sentence. Then we can see if you're good at photography; for now you're not even fully committing to the medium yet, just making the least possible effort using it.
https://sipacontest.com/galleryhttps://www.youtube.com/live/MblSCCiWRI0>start 55:55Aside from the "art" (most are obviously photoshopped and have minimal use of AI) this has to be the most pathetic live money laundering event of rich trust fund baby millenials and gen-z I have ever seen.So you just have me believe these are average people interested in photography? Most of these contenders come from 3rd world nations and can purchase high level equipment and have the free time and leisure to do so. If anything these are the upper class of India, Russia, South Africa, Argentina etc.Either way you can see the host just wants to wrap things up from the very beginning. What ever those ladies (in black dresses handing out the awards) behind the scenes are doing is beyond me. When leaving the stage they always need to scratch their butts. Even they dont care for the award winners and dont even give these trust fund babies a glance when handing over the award, which is funny.In regards to skill set, there are truly nice and lovely photos being presented. Some of which would make me happy having them in my portfolio. Others... seems like random images I can find on some tourists smartphone.Question to /p/:Could you do better?Which categories would you excel at?What happened to /p/ weekly or monthly contest?Why dont we try to get an image from /p/ to the upcoming Siena Awards?
>>4503853I have no proof this is AI. Just my opinion.P.S does anyone have the feeling one's own mind is getting lazier/dumb due to frequent AI use? e.g prompts like "correct this sentence" etc.? I feel like I cant even structure my own sentences anymore OR I doubt myself alot more than before when writting emails and posting.

>>4507097Sony, big expensive lens, and then start an insta account and take bokeh shots of the same animals in your immediate area over and over and make sure to get that good shot of you holding the big lens.

Picasa was a treasure trove of Korea and Vietnam war photos from random vets. I saved a lot of them and have them on a drive somewhere.
>>4511007serve them up please:)here >>4510931
I think it's neat. Finally not a re-release of something or gimped to make room for something new.
>>4510537The x100 does not have a FF lens, retard.
>>4510820Yet why would you get one over an even cheaper RX1RII besides slightly better battery life and quicker to use EVF? The lens was already underspecced for the 42MP sensor, so no reason to even bother with 61MP. At least the II had something neat with the variable optical low pass filter which was gone on the III, and it still had a tilt screen.
>>4510828Mark II Sony bodies were an unusable janky mess>>4510820I would gladly get a firesale RX1rIII for $2k
Fix the dust issue, put in a newer sensor, and boom: lx100iii.
>>4508975I like it except the motorized zoom. Slow and long-term the mechanisms are a lot less reliable.
Just dumping these sunset pictures i took on my HMD fusion phone the other day.
last one. hope you enjoy anons.
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.

You might like this pic I found on Reddit:https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/1tl3329/photo_taken_while_phone_was_shutting_off_from_low/Apparently it was due to low battery
>>4510736That's cool, I wonder if this could be recreatable on some cameras by dropping the batteryI feel like you'd be more likely to just have a corrupt file
>>4510760maybe you could pull the battery out of a cheap camera/phone at the same time you are taking the photo.Could that work?
A Humble Noob's Film RollsPresented Chronologically
>>4510029Diffusion filter examples I've seen look really good, so it's worth a try, but you have to make sure you pick a really high quality one instead of a cheap one. I'm an Aus anon too and I'd love to stick with film, but the prices of film itself and the development costs are insane for just a regular 24exp roll, so it's more of a special occasion thing for me now.
old non-gear /p/ being held up by one Newcastle / Maitland anon with a pentax pas i assume?
>>4510689my sister in law's nikon fm :--) she lent it to me while she's overseasI have more film to develop, very exciting probably not going to get a film pas since I like ILCs. thinking of getting a 20mm lens... can't get wide enough with 24 and 28 is painful.are you on the east coast? I think I saw someone post pics from coffs harbour a few weeks ago
>>4510125i've been contemplating selling my digital gear to get more film stuffI really like the aesthetics of film. I usually use film LUTs on my digital photos but that doesn't get the whole picture... film really glows. a medium format film camera and lens is a lot cheaper than a digital one, too :-)
>>4510729those are fun to shoot with. you're on the verge of something, keep shooting and posting. thanks for the pics
>>4510692cool pic :)
