Thought the sky looked really beautiful and haunting so I took this photo with my phone. An hour later the thunderstorm arrived.
>>4503753What country?
>>4506823Clouds belong in the sky, not on the ground you chud. What the hell did you do? You're going to kill us all.

Sunsets can be great. I also have a couple of sunset sky shots I like.
>>4503753sky out 10. Would reply again.
5.4 is out, what do we think bros?
>>4490510How did you "develop" your workflow? Did you actually study the elements of a photo and decide what you think would look better if you were to change it?I'm an amatuer photographer and I tend to just fuck around on dt until I think the image looks good.Also I don't use any graphs/anything that isn't a slider, should I? Pic rel is the last picture I've taken and edited
>>4490529>the biggest issue for me is chromatic aberration. none of the modules i've tried seem to get rid of it>>4490532>Handling CA is tough and I don't have lots of practiceI recently tried the RAW Chromatic Aberration tool and it seemed to work quite well with no sliders to fiddle with - not using the lens CA corrections at all.Any ill effects I'm not noticing?
>>4504833Manual lens geometry correction is missing from latest version of Darktable.
If my camera lacks noise profiles in Darktable, is there anything I can do? I was always using profiled denoising so far.
>>4509622Try Ansel instead
What's the best one you've used? and the worst?What's the minimum amount to spend, and when would you be spending too much?How much of an improvement did you see in your photography when you started using one? Did you get better results, subjectively speaking?Picrel is the uber-shiny ultra D-LUX filter from Hoya and I don't know if I need it. I know I need one of these filters, though. My landscapes have very hazy skies and are overall somewhat low-contrast.
>>4508719Lies.For portraits (in uncontrolled lighting) it can help eliminate shine from sweat and oils on the skin and also give a warmer diffused look to the skin. As light penetrates skin and bounces around inside it makes you glow to an extent, polarizers don't affect this but will cut down on external light bouncing off the surface.>>4508708In general, no. It's not typical to use one.Give it a try though you might like it for some situations. Worth figuring out IMO. Can be used nicely for "wet" photography or anything involving water/sweat/oils/etc or body paint and glitter.

I guess it's a non-issue for poorfags who don't own a 180mm lens, or a 60mp camera
>Sepia toning is a chemical photographic process which changes the appearance of black-and-white prints to brown.>Most digital cameras and photo software include a sepia filter to mimic the appearance of sepia-toned prints.Post your sepia photos!
>The city never sleeps.
Sepia photos always make me think of a big city in the 40s and 50s for some reason. I never seen any modern photos with the look though, it seems like normies just hate it for some reason.
She’s my cat, i love taking pictures of her, btw her name is Isis and her favorite treat is coconut oil for some reason :D

>>4448279One of the best /p/ insights.
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?
Is there any recommended mobile editing app? Sometimes I don't want to wait until I'm home and I'm not dragging around a laptop.

I am going to post random images I made which I have also edited and I would love my /p/iss bros to give me feedback on my composition, but mostly editing style... or direct me towards an editing style that would fit me.>feedback on composition>feedback on editing>direct my towards my own styleStarting with opening image...
>>4502365A fleet of old Siemens wind turbines. Cool. Where at?
Anon, I like your style, mine is the same. I like desolation and lonely scenes that are semi abstract. I really like how the black and white enhance that theme. Good shit anon.
>>4502365I cannot answer because 4chan consider my answer spam but thanks for the photo thread.
>>4505935There’s a limit on how many posts you can reply to at once. Anything over the limit is spam.
>>4502365I see your work, and before say something about it, i would say that looking for your style maybe its not the best, but i dont think that identified a little bit of that is to bad. Let me explain, knowing your style is great, but you dont have a strong style yet, there might be things, sure, but when you think about great directors, just stay mainstream, like tarantino, he is not making a movie thinking of following the path of his style. he is thinking in the shit he likes, and THAT is his style. is literally mix the shit you like and see what happend. You can doit manually as i said, mix or you can do it the natural way of just letting time show you what you like repeating de most. Most people would tell you the boat photo is great, i think you miss a big photo. That photo with just a slightly better composition would be amazing, you have the 2 subjects, the black trees and the boat with reflect, you divided in the rule of thirds, but you doit really cheap, the trees are to far in the inside of the left third, and the boat is better, i think the point allings nicely. If you want to play with BIG subjects, like super big black (trees again) and white ( for boat) you need to doit in a really tight composition, otherwise looks like something that its not finish. If big characters in game watch the composition nicely, this is top tier shit or you look the best photo of the bigger photographers and think they almost cacht it? no, they make it perfect, that is why its so hard. And the road photo tilted 45 its reeally fucking nice, i think you should explore more that, its wild and purist, and FAGGOTS! photographers would say ist not good, fuck them. That photo has movement, and that its no so easy to achive, it like you mix some shit and came that really good, explore that. That composition its better that the boat, even tho the boat its good, it gives that feel of somethings missing, but if i had the same time as you as i think it was short, i would miss to
How do you change your camera settings when you want to photograph a black person?
>>4502169I'm not interested in wildlife photography, so no.
>>4502169If I were to to shoot a darkie I would blast them with a fill flash to illuminate them if lighting needed it. Negroes can be quite dark at times, but you know what else is dark? Actual "black" objects like a mousepad, a camera body, lens, etc and you know what? those photograph just fine. Same with literal coal miners covered in fucking coal. It's all just shades of grey and unless it's something like vantablack, it's not pure black, and your camera should pick up details just fine.Every single instance of a darkie in a photo or video being too dark to see (when not clearly in shadow in a high contrast scene) is literally just overbaked fake contrast added in post-processing or a camaera preset used by retarded JPEG shooters that crushes shadows and applies non-linear curves that crush shadows and highlights.If you want inky blacks, you need a scene with real contrast. A black person standing next to a lighter skinned person, including a literal albino, is never and was never high contrast scene.Pic related is more how that image should actually look.>>4502185Lay off the lightroom or in-camera processing and you won't have to "bump up" anything. Unnatural fake contras is not the default look. That's the slop look. If that's part of your workflow, you're doing it wrong.
if you cant photograph black people, you will always be a shit photographer

>>4506939this is the best answer, all those people saw tits in person
>>4506939They're all just tits for tits and that's disgusting. Maybe this is because they're random girls from Russian and not Helmut's models from California. IDK, they all suck for some reason, not only models but also pictures. In my dreams I'd be doing it like Helmut, but in reality this is just sad
>>4506946This echoes my experience. I was editing a girls mag in the 00s and its really a self driving train once the models see you as that kind of guy. I did painal for getting pics published for like 5 years. Briefly scared during metoo but funnily nothing came up. Some girls cried and some loved it the only constant was my load goes in their ass and they get their 10 minutes of fame. Im in a small country (baltics) and its funny how often there is someone in the media who I buttfucked 20 years ago. Happily married nowadays and I only do landscape photography for myself

Any cheaper hobbies to replace photography?Photography was a reason I'd blindly go walk into a nature reserve, I don't want to lose that without some form of alternative.
>>4508996Nophotos are a symptom, not the cause.
>>4509037How long have you been doing photography? What's the "best" digital body you've owned?
>>4509148Ok, I give up. People posting outside of photo threads are physically unable to say anything else about photography than "you should buy a better digital camera". Yeah sure anon, my opinion is wrong because I should buy a better digital body. Then I'd understand. Good luck.
>>4509154I just wanted to know about your experiences with digital cameras, and see how that might have impacted your opinion Forgive me for asking two very simple questions about your own experiencesIf you don't want people to ask about your own photography experiences, you probably just shouldn't bring them up to begin with snowflake

I need some advice on posing people who are awkward in front of the camera.It's always been my dream to do these kinds of super staged portrait shoots and I've finally built up the confidence to ask some friends to take part in a shoot. However from snapping a few pics of them previously I know that they're kinda awkward in front of the camera and after doing one shoot a while ago I've realized I'm not too confident posing people yet.Making him wear sunglasses helped a bit, but other than that I didn't really know what to do other than instructing him to just look into the distance and that kind of worked.Any advice or shared experience is appreciated. I've heard that you're not supposed to micro-manage your subject's poses to make them look natural, but I'm not quite sure how to actually do that.
>>4504099How do you deal with normies who never learned how to smile properly? What would you say to get one to smile who only knows how to grimace Any pose inspiration tips? What do you like normies to do in photos? Where do you go for portrait pose and setup inspiration? Landscape photography don’t pay the bills but damn the subject is so much fucking easier to work with
>>4504061What did the pirate say on his 80th birthday?Aye matey.
>>4496392You have them shake their sillies out first of course. You can't be withdrawn and stiff while posing if you've spent 5-10min impersonating a whacky arm flailing inflatable tube man before you started.
>>4504061why snoyny doesnt make any mfturd?bcuz god doesnt punish 2 times
>>4496392I take a huge shit on the floor right in front of them while making direct eye contact and then smash it through my fingers
hi. I'm making an evangelion:death and rebirth styled LUT and kinda need some RAW files of japanese foliage of whatever to color match. I wanted the LUT to be as faithful to the reference as possible and the only foliage that I can work with are equatorial ones like palm, narra and yakal (i live in the philippines), so having actual japanese foliage for reference would be a big help.thanks in advance :3picrel (latest version of the LUT. I can send the .cube file if you guys are interested).

>>4508754hi, just just looked into the NEFs. Even edited a few ones using the LUT.
>>4508754anyways, the NEFs were very helpful as a reference for the LUT. noticed that the temperate trees all swayed towards the cyan tones rather than the yellows, I adjusted the LUT accordingly. picrel
