Random photos you took at night
Sony A7 50mm 1.8 6,00s iso100 and Phone light.
Phone sloppa.
cool thread kinda want a new one but no new photos to post (polite sage)
Came into a used F4 and F5 last year and started shooting film, here are some photos I wasted on film.
>>4498083Kino. Why did you include the sprocket holes?
>>4498086was doing that shit for insta desu
i see you camera scan, what's your setup? i'm looking to get into it and i like your results that i see here. is it something like a kit from negative lab supply or just a light table and something to hold the negative flat?
poverty porn photographers destroyed in one scene
>>4480383But this is also true for gentrification aswell. I grew up in a poor part of London and parts that knew to be crime infested shitholes where kids stabbed eachother all the time have now become hip trendy places for middle class professionals. Even in my area I see all the pain and hurt and all the ghosts and these soulless bugeyed npc looking people have no clue and just think they've bought into a cool diverse community with lots of character and flavour and they have absolutely no idea how bizarre it is that on a street where crackheads fiend outside the shop for change there are also cocktail bars and coffee shops (that no old local can afford)That being said, art is art and I do believe if it is done in a respectful way, taking photos of poor places isn't inherently wrong. Poor places do have a certain soul.

>>4499164I'm from Scandinavia and I was amazed that everything, even down to the grass, was different in Singapore. It was the first country outside Europe I visited.Everything was interesting in a strange way when even something as tiny and normal as grass was different. How can you not just wander around in amazement in a situation like that.
>>4500213We have a bunch of "street photographers" here and elsewhere who see the externally visible act of taking the photo as primary and everything else as derivative. Hence proliferation of photo youtubers, vlogs of aimlessly wandering who cares where, flashing people in the face, endless talks on what you are and are not allowed to photograph depending on your oppression level and so on.
>>4500220Those people exist, but there are also people who are amazed by how different an area is and take photos because they enjoy it and not for some vague reason. It's not always so negative all the fucking time.
Could anyone give me a noob intro to editing and color grading photos?I have no idea what I'm doing.
i feel like i definitely went to photo editing 101 by professor rockwell and i deep fry the fuck out of my photosleft is unedited sooc jpeg right is me hitting auto in lightroom to get myself 90% there and adjusting the sliders to suit (adobe color profile?)
>>4497575>deep fried catChinese perchance?
>>4494087The exposure slider is by far and away your most important color grading slider hence why its first.The white balance slider is 2nd and is not surprisingly the second most important slider.If you get those two correct, you should be 99% done.Then just add a tiny bit of contrast.Always have a folder of ref images you compare you photo against to make sure you are not doing something dumb with your colors.The colors in the scene you photographed are 99% of the work.And finally use capture one, it produces far nicer colors than adobe hence why it is the undisputed industry standard raw converter for the last 30 years straight.
>>4494087just shoot film
>>4494088>Kenrockwell.com for tutorials.dude just has game.
I don't want to buy a new flagship every two years. I just want to have a nice pocket camera and keep my midrange for a while. My old olympus pocket camera lasted for almost a decade. Preferably nothing more expensive than $700
>>4489665>cheapYeah, I'm seeing them selling from $300-$1,000 on ebay. What the fuck? I remember small digital cameras being like $150 about 15 years ago and they took great shots.Like any hobby, there will be a bunch of snobs here who will tell you to fuck off unless you want to drop a grand on a fucking camera that probably doesn't even match what phones have now. That's why I don't like 4chan. Everyone is such a superior asshole instead of being helpful.
I'm getting this. I'm sure it will be fine.
>>4498443>I remember small digital cameras being like $150 about 15 years agoFaggot zoomer retro hipster tax. These 20 year old retards who never used anything except a touchscreen and AI get told by youtoobers that they'll be cool and take better photos than their iPhone 17 if they gobble up all the 15 year old digishits and anything remotely retro looking.>That's why I don't like 4chan. Everyone is such a superior asshole instead of being helpful.Yeah I feel that. Putting in effort and trying to help people usually results in being ignored at best and more likely shit talked for minor reasons.>>4498444It will be. When you go the compact P&S route the form factor and portability are your main concerns. Nah you wont match some chud/chad with his 5DII and 70-200mm f/4, but if you're having fun then everyone else can eat sand.
>>4498445I ended up looking around a bit more and opted for this instead for a bit less money. Not as compact, but it's more of a real camera like my first A-1 in the 90s. I have an iphone mini if I need a small camera.
>>4489626I own an EX1. Its the shit.
I was hiking last week with my camera and when I reached the summit this couple approached me and asked me if I could take a couple pictures of them and asked me how much it would be. I've never charged for a picture so I said it was free, but they insisted and gave me $20 for like 10 pictures. This left me wondering and I started doing some research. I found out people pay THOUSANDS for shitty wedding pictures, also those shitty car pictures with tons of filters on them, people actually charge money for that stuff. What the heck? does this mean I can actually make money with my camera?
>>4494540>>Be meas opposed to who else?
>>4494123It's a lot of work (that you can do in a smart way) and takes a bit of entrepreneurial hustle, but you can make a good living being a wedding photographer.
>>4494540It gets easier closer to 30. Then you just shoot strangers and it doesn't matter
>>4496837a tall, succesful extroverted sexhaver abusechad
>>4494123you paid 330 money units got camera and couple talking to you something like that
Haven't posted in a couple of months but got a few rolls developed recently and I'm slowly going through scanning them.Exif: Leica M3 + Nokton 50mm f.1.5 + Vision3 250D (for the first seven ones), then Aerocolor IV for the remaining four.
>>4487005Bro did you just post a pic of your mrs on a chins?
>>4487005are you supposed to get models to bend their knees in a way that doesn't cause this?
How are you scanning these OP? They look pretty nice!
>>4487758>Leica body with a voigtlander lenswhere is the contradiction? these are both the best value you can get in their respective categories before making practical compromises
>>4499827If a Leica body is value I'd like to hear what a premium body would be
What's the secret to digital b&w photography?
>>4496500I guess you are kinda right. I almost fell for the GRIV monochrome. Instead I did a month of shooting only b&w and realized it's just a meme. My family ask me to send a color version of photos "but why is it black and white??". I compare both and color is always a bit nicer. The warmth of sunlight, deep greens in nature, skin toans. It's such a pleasure to see color. Probably why all movie directors immediatelly abandoned b&w when finally color film was around. It's just more alive.
ha people say this and that about art but black and white photos are rly good for home decor, easier to match with stucco n sutffall b&w, contrasty, got stuff in every incel adams zone, put a matte around it, keep it small, get a few, mostly boats and womenmaybe some mountaintopsi like montaintops, they're the tits of the earththat's the stuff i like, sets of them>>4491707square crop, hasselblad it, then that's the stuff lol cant beat the classics
>>4496502>It's such a pleasure to see colourNot to be a pretentious fag but idk, I don't think that a photo should always simply aspire to be "pleasant" to look at. Black and white creates an effect that can be used artfully. I agree, I "enjoy" looking at colour photos more than I do black and white photos 9 times out of 10, but sometimes I do see a black and white photo and realise "colour wouldn't work for this". Picrel is an example, I've seen pics of this place in colour and idk, the B&W just works imo. Maybe I'm just being a pretentious wank though, should never rule that out.>>4491122What's said here about how it forces focus on form and tone, which lends it to architectural photography where maybe colour might be something you want to sacrifice to emphasise something else.
>>4491118>What's the secret to digital b&w photography?using a flash.
>>4491118Focus on form, light and subject. Enjoy not giving a shit about not getting the color right. >>4496531Kek
Have you ever exhibited your work at a gallery?
>>4493866>but hey, at least one show in new york i guess, right?Nigga what the fuck? This is cool as fuck
>>4495812>You should send to the Aperture Portfolio Prize.Have you gotten any response from them?
In 2017 I unknowingly entered an Eastern European graphic design competition curated by a well respected Russian graphic designer and had a poster I created in 10 minutes exhibited on a touring exhibition and in a Russian art magazine. I'd like to try and find and import a physical copy of the magazine, but there appears to be at least 2 that have the same name, and I can't figure out which exact publication and issue contained my print. I am not a professional designer of any kind.I've never had any photos exhibited and I don't know where I would start
>>4499820It's crazy that despite getting acknowledgement you faggots don't follow up by creating more work in that field or getting in touch with the people in the field.
>>4499832I play around in photoshop alot and enjoy doing so but I believe my success here was just luck. I live on the opposite side of the world to the guy organizing it and don't have any friends involved in that industry
Posting all his series. Posting first:Early Works(SELECT WORKS)1984 - 1987
>>4490275Who wants to look at this horrid trash? Staging blood cult ritual slop isn't a real skill and all this appeals to is edgelords and pedo elites.
>>4483261The Klansmen looked based though.
>>4483425This fag was in the files, Epstein was a fan. I guess cANON won... again...
From the historical perspective alone, this stuff is pretty cool. That Nomads series is something I can 100% imagine a fashion designer these days looking back on it and straight up using it as inspiration.
>>4490359Fuck off retard. Aesthetically these photographs are ballin. I don't care if the dude is a peado or a subhuman.
Furry Critters EditionPlease post film photos, talk about film photography, film gear like cameras, film stocks, news, and tips/tricks in this thread.Also talk about darkroom practices, enlargers, photo paper, techniques like dodging/burning, tools, and equipment related to enlarging, developing, and printing.Thread Question: Do you prefer color or black and white photography?Previous thread: >>4489677
>>4497413>Only complaint is the white borderI'm just an idiot and uploaded the uncropped WIP version, but thanks!>>4497425Those edges are a disaster, but I guess that's hardly surprising at that price point. Still a nice shot, good job.I'd kill for a film setup to do pano shots on that isn't a $3,000+ timebomb.Anyone have any experience with any of those jank 35mm pano conversions on medium format cameras? They're interesting a much cheaper than an XPAN, but they all sound like a pain to set up/load properly.
>>4497690>those jank 35mm pano conversions on medium format cameras?I thought about getting one many times but every time I remembered that a roll of 120 costs basically the same as a roll of 35 and cropping is free
>>4497714yeah but 35 is generally longer than 120 so you get more shots per roll
NEW:>>4497863>>4497863>>4497863Hooray for image limit reached!
>>4494615Very cool
>solves 90% of your color grading problems>makes muh colur basedence a complete meme>never talked about on this boardgo figure
>>4499524>taking 1 extra photo to ensure consistency for a scene is so much work
>>4493776this is why i do not shoot color>oh no my white balance! everything is green lmaowhat an absolutely boring and irrelevant process
>>4493777all of these look exactly the same to me
>>4494542I have noticed thus ever since I started taking an interest into start sharing some photos on Instagram. I tend to try and set my camera up to show colors I like and use the right spot metering for exposure, it's basic shit but I like to take the photo and see the results and like them then and there, and the only editing I do is maybe some linear grading or some color work. But then I see poeple fully admitting they take just medium grey bland photos and then sit down in lightroom and basically create a completely different photo, and yes, they are 90% Sony users. I guess this is the reality of photography now, I mean ai topaz shit is already doing it, might as well try and beat it?
>>4499524shoot the card after you shoot the model
Dumpin' some recent concert photos

>>4499628Camera is the Fujifilm X100VI.Mainly ISO 800-1600, sometimes 3200.
far out! i consider thsese promo material-wirthy.who is she?
>>4499627I really like this one, anon. Nice thread
New color film!!!lucky 200 has finally dropped.Anybody shot it yet? waiting for my order to arrive.
Been out for ages Ive got some in 35mm and 120 just haven't used it yet
>>4498213They stopped making it around 2010 and reintroduced last year... some slight tweaks on the formula too. I think they even commented that they were some how able to reverse engineer some of the kodak formulas though that probably just means they bribe insiders.China might be able to save the film market with affordable prices...
>>4495514bro you should develop your first roll to see if it's fucked and your camera actually works before shooting your next 9, goodluck enjoy the nervous thrill of getting those scans
>>4498645I can't wait to feel that anticipation of waiting for the photos.
I think they just announced a 400 speed color coming out this year as well

Critique please. Already know it's a bit blurry from low shutter speed, that's my fault for using 100 iso film. What else can I improve?
>>4499497Why the fuck is it sideways. Hopefully this shy fella posts properly.
