Last year, someone started a great thread about Paris Photo. Here are a few shots I took at this year’s edition on Thursday morning before the official opening. I went back last night to pick up two more photobooks. Enjoy, and feel free to contribute if you attended as well.
>>4483174>>4483321wanna go wider?
are the 80's the peak of street photography in terms of vibes, colors, clothing and architecture ?
>>4483342>street>peakHow can something peak if it never rose in value?
>>4482931>Last year, someone started a great thread about Paris Photo.Fuck, it was me. I'm glad someone actually read my thread.I'm not there this year because my application was rejected, but at least I had more time to rest and focus on my own photography.>>4482932Top one looks like child prostitution.>>4482933Touristy as fuck but I live there.>>4482944hahahahaha>>4482946Comment too long.

>>4483342It was the time when film technology peaked, and I say this as a digital shooter.>>4482983Wow. The post-processing on these is excellent. But the last one as the better composition.I always liked going there because it helped me internalize the fact that photography is subjective and a mundane money-laundering scheme. I always went out with a strengthened will to improve my skill.Thank you for the thread, OP.
It's pretty good

>>4472742This is better.Infamous(SELECT WORKS)2019“Infamous” is an exhibition imbued with the patina of tainted history. It tells a story of infamy with varying degrees of bigotry and insensitivity. Although we want to believe that what happened in the past stays in the past, history proves us wrong. There will always be new victims to attack and marginalize, new scapegoats to replace the old ones proving that Man's inhumanity to Man has no limits. We can choose to look the other way but it doesn't make it any better. Included in this work is a portrait of one of the most infamous figures of the 21st century. History is not a pretty picture. It rarely is. Warning: Contains graphic content.

I have way better gear but this little fucker has become a great companion for vlogging, even with all the drawbacksDo you have a favorite flawed piece of gear?

The quality is shit but the audio is great
Kodak ZI8.
>>4483068Man, that takes me back. Remember when Flip cameras were all the rage for what, two or three years there, before “smartphones” really took over? I had a Kodak one that had jelly video like crazy but it could do 720p! Used it quite a bit lol.
>>4483080The ZI8 had a few advantages over the Flip>1080p instead of 720p>Used SD cards instead of internal memory>Mic jack>Image stabilization (whatever that consisted of)I remember I had a "rig" for mine that consisted of a cheap "L" bracket with a couple of cold-shoe mounts that I used for the mic and for an external light. Yeah, it was an interesting time. Smartphones were around, but they hadn't completely taken over. And even then, the cameras on them were just "okay." So to get full HD in something that fit in your pocket AND was under $200 was pretty cool.

>>4481358grrr you take that back!! you dummy i'll show you someday!!
>>4481356there is no quarter frame lens in the world that will capture that much detail
I got a gh1 because I fell for some meme about it being "cinematic, well that was bullshit but I like the pictures it takes. And it's feels very low noise compared to MFT I've had before

The worst part of photography school is paying for the fees, but the facilities and tutors are really good where I am. I might drop out after I get what I want out of it. It forced me to learn how to photograph and meter properly, use composition, understand lighting, and edit in post-production—all things that amateurs struggle with because they can’t ask a professional for tips.
>>4482865What about you post pictures instead of bitching about /p/ and being a loser?
>>4482891I want to have a career instead of being a hobbyfag like you
>>4482893>I'm doing it for my mental health because I have paranoid schizophrenia and need art therapy.>I want to have a career instead of being a hobbyfag like youpretentious lying fag still haven't posted any pics of your catalog. Something tells me that it'll be some street shit
>>4482904Here. Critique it all you want. I am trying to get better.Wanting a career and doing it for therapy aren't mutually exclusive but I guess I have cognitive dissonance over what I want to do. I just want to get good at photography, and that is it.
>>4482908Meh it's ok honestly, the top left is too empty, you could've shopped the cloud to put it up so you would have a symmetry of the cloud around the cross-pigeon axis. The position of the pigeon is nice you can clearly tell it's taking off from the cross and gives a sensation of leaving the frame. Of course there's the angel symbolism but that's overdone and the bird is a pigeon. For the colour grading it's not bad but the eye and feet of the bird are almost purple and orange. The grains help a lot to give this religious style, I'm sure a smooth version would not be pleasant to watch. Honestly good picture just not that interesting / deep.
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
>>4477397Are the winners announced yet?
>>4477399No, they'll be announced in the next Region 4 newsletter.
>>4477406When will that be?
>>4477343I like the 18th one the most.
What is everyone's least favorite picture from those 34? I wanna see something.
#1post ur clouds edition
>>4482722This shits me so much.>Wow this looks like a good photo better get the camera out>BUT it isn't good enough to stop the car and spend an extra 120 seconds of my day to make it look actually decent

>>4464658This picture would be golden if there was only a tree line instead of a house on the right side.
>>4465726Enjoying this one.
>>4466687This pic is fire
How do you sell a photo for over a million dollars?
>>4482685>>4482683>just go be a politicianThe thing is people don't have to listen to your impotent crying. Muh beauty is something different to everyone until a set of shared values aka ideology lends it objective weight.
>>4482698Faggot go on a hike.
>>4482708You can't build anything on primordial force, if so then top predator animals would have kingdoms, and they do not
>>4482708>implying "go on a hike" is an insultkek
>>4482727As if kingdoms were built by fags like you and not warriors. Even if it was true what's your point ? Are you happier than cats or owls ?>>4482839Based retard, read between the lines you've missed the point
Do you develop and scan your own film or send it off to someone else? AT what point doe it become worth it to develop your own rolls rather than sending it to someone else?
I send my film to a local shop, they charge me only $1.5 (Colour)/$4 (B/W) and $6 for scanning (36 exp.) or $0.2 (colour)/$0.4 (B/W) for each print. I want to try to self develop my own film but the consumables are sometimes a bit difficult to get or quite expensiven in my country.
>$35 AUD to dev and scan one (1) roll of black and white film>Colour film cheaper to dev and scan (@ $29 per roll) but is counteracted by the fact colour film costs the difference so it's not any cheaper actually>a set of 6x4 prints is an extra $8 (wow le poverty size prints woo)>doesn't offer larger prints>they're just fucking digital prints of the scan>Okay it's like $8-12 a roll for black and white film if you buy in lots of 5/10. That's alright>Oh look there's these black and white films designed specifically to use C41 developement so you can use the cheaper colour printing we offer!>C41 black and white film is $25 a rollAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>4482738>$35 AUDWhat city?Go somewhere else or learn how to do it yourself. $35 is a scam
>>4482740>What city?Sydney. Granted I've only spoken to two shops, so my data might be skewed.>Go somewhere else or learn how to do it yourself. $35 is a scamYes I am >>4482315 anon and am in the process of DIY.
>>4482743I am in Melbounre, irohas photo are quick and cheap, scans the same day ikigai film lab do better scans but you pay more for it (you also can't pick up the negs, post only) , and the bloke is a bit of nutcase on ig
Buffalo EditionPlease post film photos, talk about film photography, film gear like cameras, film stocks, news, and tips/tricks in this thread.old thread: >>4457140Thread Question: How important is the use of a darkroom to your film photography?
>>4482190>>4482196or you can just develop the same, in which case it's called rating, not pushing/pullingmore common with color film which gets color shifts if you change development times
>>4482196If he is going -1 it is pulling the film, but you are correct about everything else.>>4482199It would be underexposing the film, but then you can compensate for that with extended development time, which is why you get more grain and increased contrast. Most films are just fine with going a stop up or down in exposure with standard dev time although not all. Cheap films like fomapan are already rated about 1 stop higher than they technically should be.
>>4482190If you want to mess with pushing and pulling film I would recommend trying ilford hp5+. It looks really good shot anywhere from like 12 iso all the way up to 1600 or higher. You just need to develop it correctly.
>>4482196> and you should shoot the entire roll at this pushed speed.Not to overcomplicate things for the guy that asked, but with black and white technically you can compensate variable iso on the same roll if you use a super dilute stand development, something like one to 100 rodinal or something like that. You get crushed contrast on everything but at least it’s usable. Not that I’d recommend anyone do it intentionally, but if you make that mistake that we all make at some point to change mid roll, then it is recoverable at least.
PeruAnon here, Feel kinda stuck latelyI did some more studio shooting and some nudes (can't share because reasons) but I feel like documentary work is still my way to goHowever, I feel like I'm on the verge of getting better but can't see where I need to improve in my photography for this to happenAnyone here, who has seen my work over time, with some advice?
If it's wrong, why is it so good?
>>4473816>>4473212>>4473207Who are these retards that don’t put a maximum on iso, I shoot P and it’s great every time , when things are fast put it on S, manual mode is for dorks who want to make things harder for themselves for no reason other than ‘I’m a pro now’. P does better than you
>>4473212Retard if you're gonna post Yoshitoshi ABe on /p/ you have to post the drawings with the SMEGMA>FOVEON WON
>>4478172Eletronic viewfinder.He's trying to say he's better than you cause he uses a small lens to focus.
For me, it's gotta be Snap Distance Priority Mode. Ricoh Chads rise up!
>>4482474Real Ricoh chads use af-s with the shutter set to snap on full press, rather than dedicated snap mode, for the best of both worlds
Have any of you working/professional anons had any luck becoming a "high end" photographer/videographer? By which I mean, the kind of person who only works with more discerning, high-paying clients?I run a business that does sound and video recording for classical and jazz musicians (there's some photography in there too) and whilst my skills are pretty good, I've realised that I will never make good money or work make truly great recordings until I get better quality clients. It's not just about money, but rather the willingness and ability of these clients to work under the conditions needed to make a good product, whilst also respecting my work enough to actually cooperate.I've realised half of the issue is just price. Doubling prices has helped get rid of the bad clients however the issue with "high-end" clients is that they are usually rich people who do not live in my shitty area and therefore don't know me. I know full well that a facebook ad will not fix this.I haven't been here in a while so pardon me if this is a faggish question to answer, but last time I was here there was a decent number of current or former professionals.
>>4482233Bump
Is anyone else noticing a big drop in engagement on flickr over the last year or 2?I know its dropped alot since its peak, but it feels like its significantly dropped again over the last year or so.
>>4479479>>4481604This sums it up pretty much. The only channels still alive are the ones of influencers who get free shit to review and market their lightroom presets. I think humanity is steering to a new trend of less media intake. Truning off phone notifications, no X, no insta. I believe at some point fine art, laid back galleries, craftmanship gonna thrive again. Not in the sense of getting thousands likes but to showcase you as a person to few selected people that care. Not commercialized, not for the money but out of love and passion. In the end for everyone it's much more fullfilling. It's natural and it's human unlike social media like used in the last decade.
We need to cause some kind of an offline revolution desu. Or a campaign against smartphones at the very least. Make the internet a physical location you visit again.Fuck the Thielites and the megacorpos and what theyre doing to humanity. At this rate we'll be some Eloi pet in a generation or two.
>>4482293IMO*. No idea why is autocorrected to Desu.
>>4482294/p/ has a couple of autocorrects like s o y > based
>>4481603>people abusing groups for a certain lens/camera model/topicYep, like when I wanted to look at the K-3 III group’s photos and got blasted with hundreds of pics from some F1 race day or when I looked at the gallery for some PowerShot and it was, literally, all bus pics from some autist in England somewhere. Please learn to share the gallery space.

Let's have a thread on Greg GirardYeah I am thinking he is kino.
>>4474477I thought you were talking about the Herzog railroad company
>>4472540I like the style of these photos, but it seems to me like he also took a whole bunch of not so good ones that he also published for whatever reason so the photos presented here are not representative for his "style" so to speak.. at least that is the impression I've got after I looked at his instagram, but these are cool photos nonetheless and I believe he does something that many contemporary shooters gets wrong and that is to always go for perfect shooting conditions, meaning to never venture outside with a camera once it is either cold, rainy, dark etc.
>>4481714if you were born and raised in kowloon city you'd think that wasnt interesting too. it is your fault.
In a just world he'd be equally as famous but for his documentary panache and not just because bugmen see neon lights and their eyes pop out of their skull
>>4482128I dunno, lots of photographers who grew up in NYC or LA manage to be inspired by their surroundings into adulthood and produce great work there, so I don't think familiarity kills inspiration. When I've travelled to either of those cities I also come back with quality photos. This is the typical street scene in my part of the country. Sure I could do a Todd Hido "homes at night" type of thing but that's really not the direction I'm trying to go in.
