Does this look ridiculous? I'm never satisfied with my sunsets.
>>4458162Idk how I feel about the foreground being almost completely crushed, as in, I'd either want it absolutely crushed or brough up a bit for detail.The long exposure on the right with the car lights adds something interesting to the frame, but it could be longer and not as intense (slower shutter for same exposure).The sky itself is kind of bleh. The colours above the treeline are nice, and give a good contrast to the rest of the bluer sky, but most of the sky is just a grey washout.It's nice in a way, but I also wouldn't be completely satisfied with it either. I'd maybe want to zoom in and lessen the amount of featureless sky, or go back when the cloud coverage isn't so thick. Bring a GND if you want the foreground to be detailed.
>>4458096two questions: why? and how?>>4458162bit garish to me, but i have a tough time with sunsets too
>>4458181what do you mean why?use the curves tool
>>4458168>>4458181Thank you. I'll keep these things in mind.
I don't have a recent one handy, but I do have a recent B&W conversion from an old Snoy PNS.

newbie here. Feedback welcomed, especially on editing
>>4458604Just needed a little higher shutter speed/higher ISO to get those wings frozen. Maybe add some brightness.
>>4458037>25% white at best
>>4458617>100% tourists
>>4458622>why it's 25% white instead of a whopping 36%You're a good poster but this is cope.
>>4458624I literally lived in London for 6 years. Londons about 60% chalkasians. The stats say 53~ but that doesn't account for people who commute in and students. Yeah I would agree though, 60% is too low, but, you know the civil wars probably coming, that might change.The sample area you're griping about here is literally 100% tourist.
>>4458617Won't be an issue when Adobe adds AI race correction.
>>4458604>>4458608NTA. agree on brightness, but I disagree about the higher shutter speed. sometimes varying from the standard and reminding the viewer that a moving object is indeed in motion can add to the image.

do i have potential?
>>4457851Yeah, let's hope for good weather in two weeks time.
>>4458728visible halos along the tree edges, composition is unbalanced, the large dark mass on the left dominating and the subject (the bridge?) pushed too far into the background without a clear visual lead-in. bright sky pulls attention away without offering meaningful detail, and the mid-ground feels cluttered.
Tried something new and played around with the color balance RGB tab in Darktable this time. Not sure if I overdid it.

>>4459212
>>4459218Uh yeah nope.
>>4459220It's accurate.I wouldn't bring a nikon on a safari. They're simply too expensive.
>>4459218And Sony is an expensive camera for people who know cameras, AND get paid to use them.
>>4459222Sony is just canon with worse support and slightly better mtf charts and slightly smaller lenses
>>4459224>>4459221>>4459218> two nofotos arguing over which camera they can't afford the most.Grim.
>>4459219>>4459221Yeah I wouldn't bring a nikon either lol

>>4459303>I like the color grading on this. Mind sharing a bit how you approached it?fujifilm. it's a straight out of camera JPG.it's the pacific blues recipe.https://fujixweekly.com/2022/08/04/fujifilm-x-e4-x-trans-iv-film-simulation-recipe-pacific-blues/p.s theres nothing on my lens, i was shooting through a window in the loftanyway here is a few more examples of that film simulation recipe
>>4459607this magenta tinged stuff is something i sometimes run into while editing and run away from because it only looks passable for building corners at 4pm
>>4459607
>>4459609im not a huge fan of it myself, i hardly ever use this recipe or other very warm recipes myselfthis one does work nice on sandstone buildings and clouds though
>>4459607last one
The cool thing about fuji film recipes is if you note you're using the same recipe I can save them all and slap them into capture one's match look tool in the future :^) free fuji!
>>4459618fuck me that’s nice color gradingare these LUTs proprietary?
>>4459544it’s hard being a misunderstood geniusyou’ll fit right in here m80
>>4459618Darude - sandstorm ass color grading
>>4459625fujifilm magic
>>4459625it's a preset. the $50 preset pack is baked into the price of a fuji, plus an extra $250.You could do similar with cobalt image presets for capture one or snagging a bunch of representative images and playing with match look
>>4459637if you think you can replicate fuji colour science with a lightroom preset and some sliders you're a fucking idiot.
>>4459627Hahahaha. No, I'm just looking for new things to see. Don't you get tired of seeing the same photo taken by different people over and over again?
>>4459649>replicate fuji colour scienceWhy would anyone ever want to do that lol. Fuji's colours are muted and the palette crushes black. Their colour science is gross.
>>4459658gr8 b8
>>4459657I’m tired of taking the same photos I’ve already taken. I’m planning on going to a bunch of events in my area just to see something different. That’s a sick shot btw. Is it a concert? I’ve been thinking about going to plays or dance thingies to photograph the performances, even.
>>4459649What’s so special about Fuji’s color science? Does it go all the way down to the different sensor pattern, leaving replicating the Fuji ‘look’ on Bayer pattern sensors impossible? or what? I don’t understand what’s so special about Fuji’s post-processing that you can’t match it with typical RAW development software.
>>4459617this is nice
>>4459711>What’s so special about Fuji’s color science?it's just really nice. they had a huge amount of data and experience from producing film stocks and then, more importantly, producing scanners to accurately scan the films. theyve put this knowledge and experience into their sensors.also, it's superior to a post process filter because it's done at the sensor level, i.e the parameters being controlled and changed are different. fujifilm film simulations react differently in different light, like film does.
>>4459734>fujifilm film simulations react differently in different light, like film does.neat
streetlampsand edges of buildings like god intended cameras to be used
>>4459740
>>4459711Film sims are just fancy presets.You can absolutely get any Fuji look with any brand + processing.If anything, developers like Dx0 suggest that x-trans has ~10% less color accuracy when all is said and done. X-trans does have a bit less chroma noise too.Doesn't matter at all if you just learn processing, turn any brand into whatever look you want.
>>4458553Luv me Metrolink, simple as
>>4459747>xtrans has less chroma noiseit doesntit has chroma smoothing baked into most conversion processes because it has more false colorif you use darktable or something you can turn this off i think
>>4459817>it doesn't>but it does when using supported software
>>4459826>my camera has zero noise because when i open it in my raw processor the noise is removedIn other words xtrans doesn't actually have color inaccuracy problems (rows without green vs. diagonals without green), the inaccuracy is from preset raw conversion settings to make editing less involved, and a dedicated user can circumvent this and still get normal color accuracy out of fuji (at the cost of having to selectively edit out xtrans' unique aliasing pattern in the many places it occurs)
>>4459838The inaccuracy comes from the array, not the processing of that arrayI do agree any capable editor can get whatever colors they want out of Fuji (or any other brand)
>>4459845No he’s right. The color inaccuracy issues disappear with 3 pass demosaicing but moire comes back with a vengeance.
who gives a shit about colour accuracy?can you name one famous photographer who values colour accuracy?
>>4459854The vast majority of them, because most high end photography is fashion/portraiture. Anyone using hasselblad/phaseone definitely does. Do your own research.

>>4460122>hobbyistsNormies. What do they know?
>>4460099>more cope and dishonesty
I don't get why people take pictures of murals. You're just copying someone elses art. At least include something new, like people, interesting lighting or angle, the process of its making, etc.
>>4460122>but fujifilm is massively popularlolno. fujifilm is massively unpopular. almost no one buys it. if you were to step outside there is a 99.9999% chance you would never actually see a non-instax fujifilm camera in person. you would have a great chance of seeing a canon or a sony. singular.influencer shilling is not reality. the internet makes things look bigger than they are to people who don't realize it's a sample size of 9 billion. fuji produces products in limited numbers to sell out and drive hype, and has grown their ILC business from puny to tiny and then hit a plateau. the influencers are now starting to realize fuji is overpriced. the x100vi didnt even fix the grinding autofocus motor. there goes what little sales they did.the only popular fuji product is instax. instax and printer paper are their entire company. they even sold the rights to their film to kodak and the chinese. the majority of people who buy mirrorless cameras buy a sony or canon crop sensor ILC. the minority of people who buy full frame ILCs are basically evenly split between canon/nikon/sony with the share fluctuating meaninglessly year to year.>>4460421he's not coping or being dishonest at all. fujifilm does not make good cameras for the money. if all you do is a4 prints you could get a canon eos m6 and a lightroom preset pack and do the same thing as a fujishit (but with better autofocus).
>>4460433Fuji X had massive success in China, but people there are catching on to the poor af and shitty performance in general. The only segment where Fuji still reigns supreme is MF mirrorless, because DJIsselblad sucks.
>>4460427>thing looks cool / interesting / I want to maybe look at it again some day>take photo to remember it>"durr, why even take a photo of it"Have you faggots unironically forgotten the main reason people use cameras? And I mean like, people, not faggot hipster geartubers or art hoe wannabes.
>>4460436People can take photos of whatever for their own enjoyment for all I care, but why post it here? It's just another full frontal mural, and brings nothing new or to discuss. If the only value of the photo is for your memories, then post another, simple as.
>>4460427imo same for statues and artworks in general. a mere documentary or expository image of an artwork doesn't have much photographic value. unless you're trying to promote the artist or exhibit, you need to do something creative or capture a specific moment, or there's no reason for anyone else to look at it.
>>4460435>Fuji X had massive success in vain NPCs: the country
>>4460460This.My problem with murals specifically is that their surface is completely flat, and it's hard to find a moment during the day where the light does something interesting. With sculptures the light will at least change from moment to moment.
>>4460460It's an area of professional photography nonetheless, my partner works for a major museum system and she coordinates several photographers mostly to take catalogue images of everything in the collection.
>>4460433>more dishonesty
