The findings reveal that landscape pictures on Instagram echo Romantic era paintings, using similar motifs and aesthetic strategies. Instagrammers, like 19th-century Romantic painters, emphasize themes of solitude, mystification, sublimity, and nostalgia, contrasting sharply with contemporary issues like ecological crises. By staging and aesthetically transforming nature, Instagrammers medially reverse the destruction of nature and create idealized landscapes that evoke a bygone, pre-industrial era and an intact human-nature relationship. Accordingly, landscape images on Instagram can be interpreted as a new idealized, romantic reality or as a postmodern reinvention of Romanticism. Instagrammers seek out photo locations based on their ability to synthesize as many physical elements as possible into an ‘instagrammable’ scenery, creating a stereotypical romantic landscape image.

Alright, /p/. I got my first nice camera JUST IN TIME for a 2-week vacation where I shot over 14,000 photos in various levels of motion, light, and subject type. Throughout my trip I experimented a lot and really started to internalize the exposure triangle to the point where I'm perfectly comfortable shooting manual without any confusion or issues.At this point, I feel like I've learned enough that I just need to practice practice practice, but I have almost zero experience with post-processing photos. I have over a decade of casual experience with Adobe programs, so I'm at least familiar with image stuff, but it was mostly UX design and motion graphics. I'm a bit colorblind, so I fear I'll never be able to do any decent color grading, but I'd really like to start dipping my toes into post-processing photos so I can start shooting in super low light, and generally just touching up my favorite shots.What tips do you have for a beginner here? What software, workflow, techniques, etc. do you use, and what things should you always do, or avoid doing in post?
>SQUARE CROP FROM THE TOP ROPE>>4476171Don't save your first pass as HEIF because there's no compatibility for it outside of huehue le macintoss. The world runs on JPG.No harm in converting it to that for your own uses if there's compatilibity but beware the conversion process is making its own assumptions about your image when it does its magic.
I don't understand why people even try to post prod these kinds of shitty pictures. It's literally hurting my eye. You should buy some film camera and learn when not to take a picture
>>4477850>learn when not to take a picturethis level of intuition is only given by the angels of heaven
>>4477850>Learning and practicing how to process is completely useless unless the picture is perfect to begin withWell, obviously the answer is that you should share some of your great work so we can all practice our processing with it

How important is it to study photography through the library? What books do you recommend for beginners? What are the best photo books?
>>4475940This kinda happened to me and a couple of friends, it just means you reached a technical level of a pro but also the mind of a drone faggot pro cunt who delivers perfectly good product but nothing that he really likes or cares about, the kind of guy who can answer the hows but not the single why.If you shoot on auto or something you like (aperture or shutter priority) and just go for photos you like but don't know why you will probably find again your inner, real tastes. The trick is to not overthink, just see shit you like and quickly take a pic, if you start wondering how to perfect the settings then you will bust your mind, just check the composition and there's that.
>>4475940You are confused about the D2x, which takes a skillled and intellegent photographer to get consistantly successful pictures from it.
>>4466027fascinating to see that /p/ can't detect a patently obvious b8 image/post
>>4475940>if I make shit up without evidence people will believe mesure, post your good old photos LMAO
>>4476928Par for the course really. Most people here are tourists who don't engage with the majority of 4chan and don't know the culture. They didn't even understand Sneed for a long, long time. It's an insular community that doesn't recognize infamous 4chan material that has been posted for over a decade now. You'd think someone interested in photography would at least use /tv/, /ic/ or /lit/ but they're not. You press them and the only boards they tend to crosspost on are the likes of /a/ or even /b/. Which explains why they care so much what a camera looks like, they're trying to cosplay basically. Unsurprisingly being weebs a lot of them are trannies, the pipeline is real.
Do you submit to magazines or prizes? I know the meme is that you can only hope to leave just one or two worthwhile photos after you die. But what’s wrong with trying to build a career?
If I had the money, I'd participate in the Mobile Photography Awards, alas the entry fees turn it into gambling
What's the best film grainy emulation halation dreamy vintage type x mount lens? Just bought an XH2S and want to shoot kino. Preferably under $600 and I only really shoot like somewhere between 16-24mm or something. Thanks a lot
>>4477506Lenses do cause grain and other effects. You are just objectively wrong.>need a high bitrate to color gradeDo you need high bitrate to color grade. Have you ever traded color grading shitty footage? It's impossible. It looks bad no matter what you do.>I only shoot video so bought a fooljiXH2S is superior to Panasonic/Sony/BMPCC and any of other cameras in the price range.>>4477497Nikon mount is better than Canon mount
>>4477822>XH2S is superior to Panasonic/Sony/BMPCC and any of other cameras in the price range.Mmh, I don't particularly agree, sure, it's way better than any Sony, but Panasonic has way better menus and the BMPCC shoots objectively better footage if you got like $2000 extra to rig it up.No fault towards the X-H2S video though, it would be genuinely one of the best pro bodies you could buy if they actually fixed the autofocus. Shame.
>>4477822>Lenses do cause grain and other effects.quadrupling down on the b8 huh
>>4477878Have you heard of vignetting, soft focus, noise, chromatic aberration?
>>4477883That's not grain. Have you heard of tabular and T?
Where can I learn about optics and optical science? I want to know more about cameras to the point I could know everything about a camera’s settings without looking at metadata. I want to know if I can work out a camera’s settings or lens just by looking at a photograph and analysing it. For instance, can you work out the shutter speed or aperture through deduction if you already know the ISO or focal length or distance to subject or depth of field? My question is about the exposure triangle and knowing whether one element in a camera’s setting can give you clues to the other elements. Surely there have been forensics used on this level, in some sort of criminal case. Or do they usually only look for manufacturing clues for the camera’s build and make?
>>4477601them maybe start here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmFQrYnDzhM
>>4477608*then
>>4477601>For instance, can you work out the shutter speed or aperture through deduction if you already know the ISO or focal length or distance to subject or depth of field? My question is about the exposure triangle and knowing whether one element in a camera’s setting can give you clues to the other elements.Yes. There are tons of exposure calculators. Google EV DOF calculator to mess around with them. Knowing the time and place can help you figure out the general light level (EV) which gives you an idea of typical exposures. Perspective helps find focal length e.g. a landscape with compressed features is more telephoto unless it was a crop. Noise levels helps find ISO unless they used a denoiser. Motion blur helps find shutter speed. Depth of field will tell you aperture assuming you know subject distance and it's not a crop or stitch. Dynamic range can help you find out sensor size and color science can help you identify the manufacturer. Without EXIF, just the resolution gives big clues. Chromatic aberration, vignetting, field curvature, bokeh are useful for figuring out the lens e.g. apochromatic, apodization, the swirly bokeh Helios etc. For optics in general, there are some good tutorials out there. There's a good beginner series by the guy behind the Google Pixel phones on Youtube. 1001 lens nights by Nikon is fun read about the development of their lenses historically and the Zeiss Lenspire site has PDFs from engineers that are great resources for design. If you know a photo was an ultrawide for instance you probably guess it is more recent since those weren't common in the past for example. At some point you'll want to learn about MTF and the articles on Lensrental are good for that. Roger Clark also had a good website on optics. Canon had a lens brochure that was informative. Brandon Dube (sp?) is an optical engineer who comments on Lensrentals and some other photo sites so if you find his profile on Disqus you could probably engage with him.
>>4477608>Eggers>Visual legacyI like his work but we are in a pretty poor shape in terms of cinema if his visual style is considered legacy
>>4477601When I was in college, the head of our photo dept who was only in his late 30s could look at a printed photo and reliably critique your camera settings, lighting scheme, and printer in a single glance. It was pretty amazing until I realized just how many images he'd been looking at for how many years. Did it in the Marines before he was a professor and QC'd hundreds of thousands of images for them as well.Occasionally a student would have some print shop run prints (still on a nice commercial printer, but not a fine art giclee printer) to make a deadline and he'd just take one look at it, tilt his head, see the colors at the borders, and you knew you were fucked, getting a 0 on that one. No one ever got anything past that guy. And he got that skill level in just over a decade. So, it's possibru OP
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?
>>4471957Some places have zine swap events.
Bump
>>4438872I'm working on one right now. I learned a lot by ordering a mockup and then finding out that the sequencing and layout feel completely different as a book than it does on the computer screen
>>4447307I remember this one, wanted to buy it but you made the orders go through the mobile version only so i never got around itPretty cool tho
>>4438872I should make one, one of death and sex and birth and cannibalism.
Got this Osmo for a decent price, is it good for vlogging?
>>4477692You bought it, literally just try it. No one knows your quality requirements or conditions but I would say yes. Gimbal stabilized footage is much better to watch than the clowns who try to use their dSLR type cameras, even ones with S-tier stabilization like Panasonic and Olympus, for vlogging. But if you are shooting in available light in dark conditions it is not going to look good.
at what age and how did you find that you were into photography/videography?
>>4476808when i was like 15 i got a slr and some film n it was fun :p
35 because "midlife crisis", just wanted to enjoy life more and trying new things. It was either a camera or a motorcycle, went with the former + home gym
>It was either a camera or a motorcycleGet both, it's a killer combo. Ride out to random places for a day and get some pics while you're at it. That's what I do when I'm fed up with the shitheels that infest city-life.
got on of those my first (35mm) cameras when i was a kid and got a dslr when i was 16 or so, stopped shooting digital now, film is where its at
>>4476808Around 22... and then my life went to shit and I lost all interest, and only took it back up again when I was 35.
Should industry switch back to film for better skin tones?
I noticed this too the other day while looking at some german vhs tape boxes...
>>4476045>implying VHS is film
>>4476055No, but photos used on cover box of VHS tapes were shot on film.
>>4474453I can imagine that "the industry" would rather switch to HDR or render the same film in multiple color gradings. Like you get a little option if you want the film to look "lifelike", "vibrant" or "retro"
yeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCjMZMxNr-0
How do we store our photos? I use the unlimited photo storage that comes with Amazon Prime, but I'm thinking of switching to a RAID hard drive instead.
How do you keep your backups mirrored?If you have external USB backup drives in your drawer or offsite, you might remember to copy new files to the backup every so often, but if you do changes on the primary, like delete files, rename files, create folders and move files to them. what do you do other than format the backup drive and copy everything to it? What software, mac/windows/linux to keep them the same?
>>4477272rsync. there are several alternatives to it avaiable in different os, e.g: freefilesync or unison.
I store all my raw files on HDDs. I have 7 with 1tb now but no backup copies. Never in my life an HDD failed on me and even if it happens one day.. it's just raw files of snapshits who cares. The edited photos I upload on Google Photos so I always have access from anywhere.
>>4477273I had free file sync forever and never used it. Then I used it once and now I use the shit out of it several times a day to keep aaaaall my crap sync’d properly across machines, internal drives, externals, backups, network drives, everything. I’ll use it to check old file transfers & make sure they were completed & nothing fell thru the cracks, or catch old versions on old backup drives it’s tits
>>4475794Flash NAS for storage then I backup to external HDDs occasionally. I do video so I need the extra storage but having flash for mainline storage is so much more responsive. And if you are doing only photos, just a regular big SSD is plenty. 4TB can hold almost 60,000 61MP RAW files.>>4477272>what do you do other than format the backup drive and copy everything to it?This is exactly what I do once a year to two backup drives. I like the idea of syncing but I'm too disorganized so I just dump everything on them and promise myself "I'll sort it out later"

Looking for a cheap 23mm lens for my sony cameraThere's two TTartisan ones, a manual and an AF one (f/1.4 and 1.8 respectively). Is the AF version really that much better?
I've been a photography enthusiast ever since I met my girlfriend of 4~ years. I shoot with her all the time and even have gotten her into and excited about the craft. Her and I regularly go on walks, and a couple nights ago and she said something that kind of shot out of left field. We were contemplating what trail we were going to hike (my neighborhood backs up to a large recreational/forest area with many choices) and we had decided upon one and to end the conversation she says, "And maybe you don't bring the big camera this time?" and we both laughed, with my laughter just coming from confusion and a little bit of shock for such a request. I cannot for the life of me figure out why she asked this. I seldom ever shoot with a tripod when going on casual walks with her and it never gets in the way of us having a good time, I take a few pictures every walk and throw it over my shoulder and keep going. I don't let my hobby ever get in the way of our time together. If anything she's asking to shoot with me more often. That's why for the life of me I can't understand why she asked me to leave the rb67 at home. She loves shooting with me and is always asking questions to learn more about photography and film. I'm really not trying to sperg out about this, I guess im just trying to figure it out from a girl's pov. I can't help but think the reason she asked is purely aesthetic/visual, as if me hauling it around is unattractive or something. Is carrying this camera around on a semi-regular basis that strange or unfashionable? I really don't think its big enough of an issue to explicitly request I don't use it which is why im so confused.

Currently have the Canon 90D and am searching for an upgrade. Goal was... to purchase the Canon r5, but hearing that the r6 mark 3 will be announced this autumn and for the same price of 2500, I'm not so sure anymore. I love the 90D but I need something for low light photography when doing landscape up north. Also I would like something fast for night rally sessions (CER 2025 was planned at awful times when the sun was gone). Dont like ISO below 400 on my 90D and had to cheat using video mode at 4k and frame grabbing.What have you heard about the r6 mark 3? Would you pick it over the r5? I really want to get into full frame using my old lenses. Hopefully it's going to be too much of a change.
>>4477247Nope, the 28mm is one of the best pancakes. Just because your mount doesnt have any doesnt mean they dont exist. It just means your mount is trash. Skill issue.
>>4477320yeah honestly expecting pancake lenses that match standard lenses in anything without being a micro four thirdser is a tough ask but credit where credit is duethe RF 28mm is one of those lenses that might be someone's entire reason to move to Canon, it's stupid fucking good
>>4477328fuck I'm searching for a normal/wide prime and I keep hearing everyone jerk the 28mm off like it owes them money.I'm tempted to wait for the 45mm f/1.2 (if it exists) or get the 50mm f/1.8 because cheaper and brighter, but seriously all this talk of excelent pancake might make me get that instead
Its just the same snoy schizo desperately trying to convince everyone pancake lenses suck. Pretty sad.
>>4477428>no, muh glorified body cap doesn't suck, reeeeee
Okay so in short, I'm part of a horticultural society that has a yearly photo contest. The voting for the contest recently ended a couple of days ago but the winners won't be announced for a while. I want your opinion on the entrants to the contest. I'm not going to tell you which are mine, because I don't want your bias to taint your analysis. I will tell you that 6 of the 34 pictures are mine, so feel free to guess which are mine. I do have a fairly consistent style. Here's the images: https://www.ahsregion4.org/photos/PhotoContest/2025/2025_R4-Cat_1-Single_and_Multiple_Blooms-no_names.pdf
