Have you ever paid for a workshop by a photographer? They cost like $2000 just to have them critique your photographs for a few minutes.
>>4479118>If you can't do, teach. I think you'll learn more actually going out and shootingThat is the perspective of a person who has no fucking idea how much there is to know about this extremely technical subject or the value of a team of people with entire careers of experience behind them there to share it with you.Why study engineering, people who teach engineering must all be failures, that's why they're teachurds duhhhh! I think you'll learn more about physics by going out and buiding your own LHC in your backyard hurr durrr'From the fuckin culture of no-expertise having goddamn morons.
>>4479123Whatever helps you justify your purchase, anon.
>>4479123Fair point but if someone is paying $2000 for a few minute critique that sounds like a scam. A lot of "workshops" are probably like that unlike an actual class in science or math. Anyone have that chosis meme image?
>>4478978Fuck no. Just watch YouTube tutorials, that's better than any workshop.
>>4479158Sure thing, Tony
Orion looks so sharp tonight. Always makes me wonder how far those stars really are.
>>4478767Far
They are pretty close. Space is fake and gay. It is in the firmament, the roof of the enclosed system we live in.
I'm currently reading "The Astronomy Book" on kindle and the amount of answers and detailed knowledge you get is facinating. I just went through the section that explains how we can figure out distances. It's based on brightness and colour of the stars, and while I can't remember specifics off the top of my head, Orion is one of the closer ones. Still 1,000+ lightyears away but some shit we can detect and see is over 30,000,000,000 lightyears away.Space is fuckin' cool, yo.>>4478953Your meds. Either more, or less of them.
>>4478953dont use your phone to take moon and night sky "pics", your "pics" will be fake and gAI>>4478767you can kinda even see orion in fukken Madrid its prolly one of da brightest constellations

>>4475806>not even him but this is such a notphotog gearfag takeYou could have just discussed this without hurling autist gibberish as an insult? Is it hard for you faggots to just say "I think otherwise..." or "actually, you shouldn't do this"
>>4475646The others are alright for the type of look the clients want I suppose but this one is especially not good. I think the angle doesn’t work and the view of her from behind doesn’t really show off the physique in a flattering way nor does it really convey any movement or action which is what I imagine this shot was going for. And the lighting doesn’t help much
I am going to be honest anons. I am highly ambitious photographer and have a strong desire for critical acclaim for my work but I am not getting it and it is causing me lots of mental stress. I can't mange to live with myself. There are very minimal prospects of getting published from where I am. There is a deep rooted fear in me of fucking up and making mediocre art. I am not even "putting myself out there" because I loath myself that you still haven't forged your style, your education and practice is not complete and also because people scare me. I keep saying to myself one day things will fall into their place then I will be ready to take my shot. I don't know how to get myself out of this pit.
>>4473876At least there's a subject
>>4473876Wdym? I posted 2 photos even.

Film photography is better due to low sensitivity in dark areas. No one needs to see what is in dark areas most of the time. Just imagine this photo with unnecessary crap in shadows.
>>4474172Have you even read Ansel Adams, anon?>I could not find my Weston exposure meter! The situation was desperate: the low sun was trailing the edge of clouds in the west, and shadow would soon dim the white crosses ... I suddenly realized that I knew the luminance of the Moon – 250 cd/ft2. Using the Exposure Formula, I placed this value on Zone VII ... Realizing as I released the shutter that I had an unusual photograph which deserved a duplicate negative, I quickly reversed the film holder, but as I pulled the darkslide, the sunlight passed from the white crosses; I was a few seconds too late! The lone negative suddenly became precious.
>>4474174He didn't need a light meter because he knew where he wanted to place the moon. Expose for shadows and develop for highlights is the basic idea before you really understand what exposure and development does in relation to producing density/contrast on film, which is then translated onto photographic paper when making a print.
>>4474179The moon was one of the lower highlights, anon.
>>4474282Can you read, anon?
cool photos

Anyone else here working a regular job/day job as a photographer? I've been working as a real estate photographer for a while and still do side jobs for things like corporate portraits/events, and I'm curious if anyone else on /p/ works in photography too.
>>4475963It's the poor use of HDR. Using HDR is standard in real estate photos, but not everyone implements it in a nice way.
>>4467709>that layoutwtf
>>4476430I imagine it's a blind wall to make the dinning party feel fancier/less distracted but it's done in a very small place it might as well break the harmony, doesn't help the fancy chandelier is in the kitchen spot either
>>4476430There are some real weird places around. Last week I photographed a place where downstairs just had two bedrooms and one bathroom but the upstairs was a bedroom, big bathroom, massive kitchen and massive living room. There was no reason for it either, it was a completely normal looking two story from outside and was just weirdly designed inside.
>>4467257I work in commercial photography for almost a year but ended up quitting and going back to a normie job. Like others have said, it starts to zap your enjoyment of photography. I probably only took my camera out for fun maybe 2 times during my entire tenure since I just didn't feel like going out and taking more photos after spending the whole work week taking photos.I think the only photography job that might be enjoyable is one that is very creative (cars, models etc) while anything like products, buildings, real estate etc would be more for someone that doesn't have much interest in photography to begin with.

Why isn't there one ultimate camera that does it all? Why must there be so many? I just wanna buy one for life.
>>4479210Buy an old Nikkormat. that's it, that's literally all you need.
I'm buying the Powershot v1
Is this the future of photography?
Any love for the Game Boy Camera and printer here?Sure nowadays even the chinkest of cameras and printers may be better with printing via phone bigger and clearer photos but there's a certain charm and fun in doing with with a Game Boy of all things.
I fucking love the Gameboy Camera, here's a few pics I took.Always wanted to get one of those upgrades, an optical zoom would be so cool.
>>4470551No way me too
It gets surprisingly good detail.
Can someone tell me what lightning equipment I would need, to recreate either of those photos?

Post your man bags
>>4461465I currently just carry my camera on a diagonal shoulder strap. I used a camera bag for a while but I haven't found it particularly convenient, and found stashing my camera away is a great way to keep me from taking photos. I could do with a good all purpose backpack though and some way to store a lens or two and some filters, that type of stuff. Pretty happy carrying my stuff on the strap right now. I carry everything from film P&S to an R6 II with 24-70 2.8 and battery grip on a strap.
I'm thinking about getting something that holds a big lens (canon 24-105 won't fit my jeans pocket) for times when I'm shooting at an event but can't be bothered to carry my whole bag with me at all times but still need one lens for change. some kind of milsurp pouch that could go on my pants belt? any ideas?

this is how i carry the hasseblad so that its always around my neck even in the bag.
What is it with people that shoot on film?Film is expensive to film, develop and scan.Yet what do they do? They film the most mundane bullshit.Traffic lights. Or some mediocre bullshit to some obscure indie song.Why do they all do this?If you're gonna spend hundreds of dollars. Atleast film something good. But it's like they think the vintage aesthetic will make their shit good.It's like they just want to see what their mundane boring life would look like on film.
>>4477186>I'm whitePost hands.I find it hard to believe a first worlder would struggle with recharging a battery every once in a while.Maybe if you live in a backwards shithole like Greece, I'd understand.
>>4477615For me, it's 6-2-8.
The idea that I could have fucked up an entire photography trip, and wouldn't even know it until days later scares me.

Do you print your photos, anon?
>>4477592you still have zero publishers. :)
>>4477514Hi cANON
>>4477514do your publishers go to another school? is that why we wouldn't know them?
>>4472235with a print shop who honestly has no idea what they're doing because i like it when my photos look like shit
Only selfies for passport size photos.Any other recent prints are of existing/scanned photos that I have retouched, or digital images that I wanted in hard form.
The findings reveal that landscape pictures on Instagram echo Romantic era paintings, using similar motifs and aesthetic strategies. Instagrammers, like 19th-century Romantic painters, emphasize themes of solitude, mystification, sublimity, and nostalgia, contrasting sharply with contemporary issues like ecological crises. By staging and aesthetically transforming nature, Instagrammers medially reverse the destruction of nature and create idealized landscapes that evoke a bygone, pre-industrial era and an intact human-nature relationship. Accordingly, landscape images on Instagram can be interpreted as a new idealized, romantic reality or as a postmodern reinvention of Romanticism. Instagrammers seek out photo locations based on their ability to synthesize as many physical elements as possible into an ‘instagrammable’ scenery, creating a stereotypical romantic landscape image.

Alright, /p/. I got my first nice camera JUST IN TIME for a 2-week vacation where I shot over 14,000 photos in various levels of motion, light, and subject type. Throughout my trip I experimented a lot and really started to internalize the exposure triangle to the point where I'm perfectly comfortable shooting manual without any confusion or issues.At this point, I feel like I've learned enough that I just need to practice practice practice, but I have almost zero experience with post-processing photos. I have over a decade of casual experience with Adobe programs, so I'm at least familiar with image stuff, but it was mostly UX design and motion graphics. I'm a bit colorblind, so I fear I'll never be able to do any decent color grading, but I'd really like to start dipping my toes into post-processing photos so I can start shooting in super low light, and generally just touching up my favorite shots.What tips do you have for a beginner here? What software, workflow, techniques, etc. do you use, and what things should you always do, or avoid doing in post?
>SQUARE CROP FROM THE TOP ROPE>>4476171Don't save your first pass as HEIF because there's no compatibility for it outside of huehue le macintoss. The world runs on JPG.No harm in converting it to that for your own uses if there's compatilibity but beware the conversion process is making its own assumptions about your image when it does its magic.
I don't understand why people even try to post prod these kinds of shitty pictures. It's literally hurting my eye. You should buy some film camera and learn when not to take a picture
>>4477850>learn when not to take a picturethis level of intuition is only given by the angels of heaven
>>4477850>Learning and practicing how to process is completely useless unless the picture is perfect to begin withWell, obviously the answer is that you should share some of your great work so we can all practice our processing with it
