the people who believe that the best at anything don't fail more than those who suck are delusional

from quantity comes quality
from failing thousands (maybe millions) of times you get quality
so if you're afraid of failing then never gonna git gud

>>4469568
Arts aren't entrepreneurship, besides entrepreneurs who suck fail even more than ones who don't. Although street isn't art so there's that :^)

Dead thread?

Might post a few of my own, have been taking some street photos for some time now (but not as much as I'd like because people don't like having a random camera shoved in their face) and I've never shared my photos anywhere so I might just do that.
We'll see. Dead thread is sad tho.

Likely quite a few over/underexposed and out of focus shots with the odd gold nugget in between. But that's all part of the learning experience with film, so have fun with it!

>Anything else interesting out there?
Pro image, aerocolor iv, opticolour 200, wolfen nc500, harman phoenix/2, gold/colorplus, respooled vision 3 250d and 500t. These are all good films although phoenix has very limited dynamic range. 2025 is a good year for shooting colour film, we have so many more options than even just a few years ago when fuji called it quits and kodak killed ektachrome. I don't even buy portra anymore, it's expensive as fuck and the photos come out with so much detail and such a flat profile that invertinf it almost starts to feel like editing a digital raw file (exaggerating a bit though).

if a dslr lets you change shutter speeds by less than a stop, should i try to remember to keep ratios properly in my head? I was making the newbie mistake to think that each adjustment in shutter speed was literally one stop each rather than calculating the ratio in my head. my photos were too exposed or underexposed, as a result

>>4472986
basically yeah
helps to have dials with nice solid clicks (so not nikon)
my camera lets me choose either 1/2 or 1/3 stops but I've been finding myself wanting a 1-stop option to keep it on 90% of the time, not like I'm lacking for dynamic range

I got really frustrated over not having inspiration and I lost sleep over dust motes on my camera's sensor. Is this common among photographers? I'm just a newb.

>>4462404
How do I get started with editing photos?
I don't want to pay for Lightroom and I'm too stupid to pirate so I'm stuck with Darkroom and Nikon NX
NX is fine but just doesn't seem to have the features I see in tutorials
Darkroom looks better, but doesn't keep any of the settings from my camera and resets the Raw to 0 edits so I have to start from a colourless image

Been trying to practice with composition recently, figured for fun I would go and use public images from the NASA image archive.
I have also been trying to abandon my chronic over-use of the rule of thirds and the golden spiral recently.
Here is an example I pulled from the online archive
https://images.nasa.gov/
In this instance I just looked up "STS 5," there are a million other photos captured on rich film and expertly scanned from apollo to the early shuttle era to experiment with though!
I am not entirely pleased with the overall composition. I feel like it needs to breathe more? Overlay and "double exposure" type edits are so fascinating to me. I find them hard to compose. And I tip my hat to those who are capable of capturing them natively with a camera instead of just cheating like me and using post processing. How the hell do you compose and plan these types of shots? How do you make sure everything is equally balanced?

Use ChatGPT. It’s unironically a remarkably good tool at learning the basics of photography and you can use it to progress at your own pace.

>>4470165
terrible advice, chatgpt gets things wrong constantly and if you are a novice you will never pick up on it
if you have questions about technical things, bring them up here so you can observe the autists and schizos that lurk this board tear each other open like wild dogs in the pursuit of “best practice”
the thread we had on ETTR vs. zone placement was great, I learnt from both sides.
>>4470150
>I wanted to know how I can improve.
Describe what you do when you take a photo. Be as in-depth as possible. This will help us understand where you’re at. Post more photos, too.

>>4470165
>Room temp IQ
OP, do not listen to this moronic waste of bandwidth.

General advice is, look up the exposure triangle and understand each of their roles in changing how the photo comes out. Basically:
>Shutter speed
Freezes motion or allows motion blur, a fine line to tread. The longer the shutter is open the more light you capture.
>Aperture
Allows more, or less light in through the lens. Reduces Depth of Field of increases it accordingly.
>ISO
Increases signal (Higher ISO makes the image brighter) but this includes adding noise
There are a few other interactions I've glossed over but that's pretty much all you need to know.

And look at some basic photography composition rules like the Rule of Thirds. These rules aren't gospel so much as ideas to help you compose an image more thoughtfully. I also found that shooting in Black and White simplified things so you can focus on messing with other shit. Last thing, if you shoot JPEG that's fine an' dandy and really who gives a fuck if that's good enough for you. However, if you shoot in RAW as well (most cameras allow both at once) you can go down the rabbit hole of post-processing which is its own thing but allows you to get more creative and/or squeeze more image quality out of your shots.

There's something about Jaron that doesn't sit right with me though

if i want to see everything in focus, i will just use my eyes or phone, point of using a camera is to make it diferent than what our eyes see

>>4469864

yeah who is this fucker and why is he forcing himself on the podcast? he's a fucking retard running a photo review site. that's it. if anything he should be doing some webmaster/seospammer podcast and leave the serious photographers alone

>Don't be going in trying to fuck. Don't think with your dick, go rub one out before you shoot. You're here to make art, not be a fucking creep. Wanna do this again later on?

Don't listen to the gooners on here with Stage 4 terminal autism who are going to come in here and tell me I'm wrong, most of them are compound-turbo nitromethane virgins who have never shot full nude and think porn is real. You're not Terry Richardson, don't be a fucking creep.

why are americans such incredible prudes? There is nothing wrong with a photographer hooking up with a model, just don't do it the first time you meet them at a shoot. use a shoot to meet them then seduce them

>>4458021
Fpbp

If you’re still here OP, we all know you’re a perv who’s in it to see her naked. That’s 99% of why anybody gets into photography.
The key is to actually try at the art part of it, and to not go 0-100 on the flirting.
Don’t shoot your shot in the first photo session, if you play it cool and normal you can make a casual move at a later date.

what a strange post. i guess these are the kinds of things you say when you measure photos by sharpness and detail... that shot was on a voigt lens which i specifically use when i want digital pics that more closely resemble the texture of complementary film shots than when i use the regular fuji lenses. therefore it is extremely soft.
picrel is 120 film on the same hike. if there's more detail here, it's because of direct sunlight as opposed to the half light of dusk in the xpro shot. even so, the grass all blends together and it doesn't even matter.

>connections are questionable now because of rhe internet
internet connections are more questionable than college or in person connections because the internet person could easily be an automode snapshitter and if you never thought to look at their metadata or they're smart enough to remove it you'd never know unless you met them irl.
Anyone can easily buy a $10k camera and take snapshits and i dont mean that insultingly i mean that genuinely

>>4468915
IIRC there was an anon in the previous bpd thread taking good quality photos with a 10MP sensor. Meanwhile some people on here own $2k-5k cameras with 24+MP taking genuinely dogshit photos
