You do absolutely not display any talent at all, but it is clear that you are trying to compose something, playing with shapes and colors. That places you way ahead of most beginners.Keep shooting, and maybe one day you'll get good. Try to branch out, like the other anon said. Building corners get old fast, and there's only so much you can learn from shooting them.
>>4532755Thanks, and will do. Talent is a controversial concept it seems, when I only wrote that as a reference to an old /p meme. I couldn't care less whether I have talent.
>>4532752Sometimes talent can be viewed as a binary thing. I've seen a lot of charcoal/pencil sketches done by amateurs. One glance and you can quickly say no talent, they suck - or- there's something compelling there, they have talent, even if the sketch is clunky or unrefined. A lot of shit I see here does truly suck. What you posted does not. If "talent" means you have what it takes to rise above the rest and ascend into the realm of capital A art - yeah that's a loaded question.But you posted that question as a joke. It's refreshing to see a board where people will tell you straight up that you have no talent and you thank them for the input. All the photo books I buy have a strong anthropological component, so all building corners might not do it for me. However, have you ever seen the photo series of blast furnaces by Bernd and Hilla Becher? Each photo by itself isn't exactly captivating, but when presenting as a series it is strangely though-provoking. What's your next series about?
>>4518140>It's a /p/ meme from 3-5 years ago.More like yesteryear.
>>4532874I'm glad you see something in my photos. I have actually been doing that for a decade at this point, but I started trying to do art only this year, because before I did not understand what it meant, I was just pointing the camera at cool stuff. So in this sense I am still a beginner.I thanked the other guy because he encouraged me to continue! Even if I had no talent, I could still work to make up for it. What matters is motivation to do art. I looked up Bernd and Hilla Becher. Interesting stuff, it looks like it should be very boring but it's not, there's obviously style and a lot of work there. But still, too plain for me, and this made me I realize what I like most about the photos I posted in this thread is abstract, it has nothing to do about the buildings, while B&HB stuff is really showcasing the building. I think I have ideas to keep it going now, so that's cool.My next series is about roads. I try to make images you wouldn't expect photographs to look like, like the one I posted >>4532752 . I use b&w film home developed, and everything is done in camera. I'm shooting mainly at blue hour. What's tying the project together is a gimmick I came up with that should make the series storytelling and help deliver an experience. I appreciate the interest but I don't wanna say much more than that, because I'm afraid talking about it might blow my motivation to do it.

>>4529969>>4529968>>4529966Get closer to whatever you're trying to capture. Fill the frame. Those photos have no clear subject and no composition.

>>4516117That's tuff
>>4516019>>4516031The problem of photography. Leveling images make them more perfect but takes away the impression that it was captured just in the moment/just as seen but carefully planned and photographed. It will be discussed here endlessly due to the emotional standing people personally have, regardless of whether the photo it is level or not. Either it will be imperfect or a bit boring. No?
Could’ve been taken closer.

Oops! 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: Did you pick up film as a hobby after shooting digital? Or did you just never stop shooting film? And do you do both simultaneously now (phone snapshits don't count)?Previous thread: >>4520917
Moo.
Done. What do you guys think of this film and these pics? Keep an eye out for my thread. It's going to be pretty good. I even got the film marginally cleaner for my second batch. :D

so i like to shoot 4x5 and i never have much mishaps on that ie darkslide shenanigans.however i have a 6x7 back and i ALWAYS fuck that shit up for some reason

I thought freeware was a meme until I tried RawTherapee and Darktable, and quickly realized the amount of neetbucks I would've saved had I not used Lightroom sooner. I don't even take pictures regularly. Why do photographers shill a corporation with comical levels of greed?

>>4527115every IT project and opensource especially has this kind of sperg that thinks that it's only his vision is valid one and he has the best ideas, the rest of people are morons and don't understand him. So he changes posiotions of few buttons, "optimizes" by removing shit he doesn't understand and proclaims it's better and faster now. Then goes on jewtube and publishes his two hours long rants.People like this should be kept in forced labour camps to be useful.
Is Neil Postman correct about the best photography being in television ads? Excerpt from "Amusing Ourselves to Death".
>>4531897Product photography and advertising have often produced high-quality images, that's for sure. But what do the images say or mean? That's a more difficult question. >>4532048ads have always sold a lifestyle gramps, stop listening to so many podcasts and read a book.
>>4532048Yep, the whole argument is> Haha isn't it funny how the best art is at the service of corporate America. That's kinda Based, amirite fellow Americans?While Americana isn't the same any more.
>>4532061They used to reinforce a lifestyle, now they actively astroturf one. To be fair jews always did but it wasn't as prevalent as today and it targeted sectors ( (((Bernays))) convincing feminists to pick up smoking)

nice guy but damn his photos suck
>>4530657I know. Anything to avoid actually doing real photography.
>>4530657Where did I say that? Because the post I replied to was about getting attention on your work, not whether your work was good.

>>4530595I dress so people stay away from me while I shoot. The landscape is for me not them
>>4530606>>4530657>>4531725No, no. It's not just about fashion but also "the way that you carry yourself". The way you act and speak, your manners etc. This dude presents the image of a sleazy ny lone hipster on the street vibe. He is tapping into the audience. His work is shit but let's take the example of good photographer from ny who had both, work and personality. Pic related is Weegee and motherfucker literally looks like photographer straight out of noir novels and films. Suits, cigars, big camera, being fat sleazy slob etc. The whole mystique of a strange photographer smoking cigars and listening whole day to a police radio just shoot a photo of a crime scene before the arrival of police. You can watch the films that he made for lolz on YouTube, see his personality shines through it. This dude is tryna be a sterile, thrift store, vegan food, politically correct version of Weegee for trust fund zoomers in ny. Not the work but at least in image, it's either Weegee or Garry Winagrand or copying his millennial peer, that condom beanie wearing snapshitter from brooklyn David Arnold or whatever his name is.

>>4531963Can you point to which posts are mine?
>>4531856>>4531867>>4531868>>4531871>>4531877Who the fuck cares? How can you be so fucking lazy that you can't take a memory card out of a camera without bitching and whining like a pathetic little autistic 3 year old? My camera has a working USB port and I still pull the card because I like using a card reader and it's faster anyways. Grow up.Actually you know what, I hope they make literally EVERY camera ever read-only MTP over USB as an industry standard purely to make you seethe. Even better, I hope they decide that actually, USB in general is just more potential attack surface for no reason when card readers exist, and delete the USB port entirely as an industry standard. And I hope they put a combination lock on the card door too so that you can use it even though you don't need it and then forget the combination, like the moron you are.
>>4532010>How can you be so fucking lazy that you can't take a memory card out of a cameraWhy pay for a card reader if my camera can work as a card reader? MTP and PTP are slow and annoying to use for no good reason. Your camera can be interfaced with over USB in so many different ways being able to mount a memory card with real file system access is not that big of a deal. The only retard here is you. Hell bent on defending your dying brand of choice gobbling up that corporate cock like a good boy.

Sorry for the very late reply, but I've been pretty busy lately. In recent months, I had actually spent considerable time researching stereoscopes because I'm very interested in 3D photography and printing my work. I figure it would be a really cool gift for people if you could make a 3D image of something they're familiar with. Like, it's one thing to just see any 3D image -- It's cool, and it makes an image feel really tangible in a way that 2D can't replicate, but when it's personal and familiar, there's a whole new layer of wonder to it. Kind of akin to way you can't really appreciate extremely high-quality speakers unless you hear your own music in it, because your familiarity with the music is what enables you to perceive quality you've never experienced before. That's why it was such an interesting coincidence that this thread would randomly show up just a few weeks after my search! I'm absolutely amazed that stereoscopic viewers are so sparse. This is such a cool type of content, you'd think it would be way more common and accessible.>>4523803>Another format is "side by side" (SBS, or 'universal freeview L-R-L')Oh shit, that's really cool, actually. I wouldn't have thought of that.>>4523812Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. That might be useful when I finally get around to putting some real effort into making these. What I typically do for my own viewing is to just open multiple images and have Windows put them side by side. It's pretty ghetto, but extremely fast and easy for viewing 3D scenes you don't intend to put effort into. Picrel is another couple that I took on my vacation while on the road. Once again, it was in landscape, so the crop is pretty extreme and jarring.

>>4530647and of course I forgot my photo...
>>4528526You could try again and underexpose it to not blow out the details in the cracked glass
Why can't Olympus make a camera this compact? Why can't Panasonic? Are they stupid? This is literally the only M43 camera with any raison d'être at all right now.
>>4529364yes dear everyone is wrong except you and youwithyourtripoff all the cameras everyone else (especially people who take more photos than you, ie: more than 1 a decade) prefers are actually a straight downgrade from a 20mp canon DSLR that blurs every photo no exceptions
>>4529366The blurrier one here is the one without OLPF.
>>4529373it would be awesome if you could actually shoot real cameras with real subjects instead of relying on dpreview's shoddy tests processed in one of the worst editors known to mantoo bad you dont even know how to use a camera
>>4528489>it totally sucked the joy out of the entire formatJust buy the small lenses instead lol. Oly released revised versions of the small 14-42 and a couple 1.8 primes (still waiting on the 12, 30, 45, and 75 tho), and they're all sealed now too, it's sweet.
>>4528524Just get a Nikon 1 series, you'll have the same image quality
