>>4472596An easily rectifiable mistake, if you would be so kind.

Ching Chong gardens during mid-autumn festival.Liking this fuji I bought.
>>4472751yuck worse than a phone
Criticism pleasePictures aren't turning out as I'd imagined, how differently would you have shot/composed/edited this scene?Shooting wide open sure didn't help but it was dusk and I wanted to make sure I could freeze the train in motionUtter /beg/ so I wouldn't even know what I don't know
>>4472754haha get baited it's a D800
>>4472758>how differently would you have shot/composed/edited this scene?I wouldn't have shot this meaningless trash in the first place. >i need to freeze ze trainwhy? why did you feel the need to freeze the train? why wouldn't you keep it motion blurred? are you retarded? are you trying to produce clinical images?why the fuck did you feel this scene was worth taking a photo of? it's meaningless piss and you wasted electrons for this
>>4472758Try standing on the tracks for a more dynamic pov>>4472778A well executed clinical photo is better than a nophoto.
>>4472758Half of everything is luck. A better time of day coinciding with a train pass. A clear sky to accentuate the reflection on the water. There are also things that are out of your control, e.g. the wall being too high and covering up a large portion of the train, the cement truck and runners in the photograph who distract. I tried pulling in attention to the train cockpit, but you can see how the runner and truck distract from it. I would re-visit the location and try to snipe out a view point more to the right to try and shoot a more "oncoming" viewpoint of a train—this is the sort of in-situ solution you must consider when you get to a photoshoot site and realize, for example, that the wall is too big and will cover up the subject (in this case, the train).The photo you provided is more of a clinical, historical snapshot of a moment in time at a regular ol' place. No singular focus, horizon line is right down the middle, not quite symmetrical enough to stand on its own. No foreground-to-background differentiation, the focus here is just "look, a view of outside," like it might as well just be the view from an office window. You must think of something, and try your best to accentuate it and give it a soul, so to speak
>>4472758its nice and sharpm, the symmetry in the reflection is always cool but it looks a bit off for some reason.the river provides natural leading lines to draw your eye toward the centre of the image but your subject (the front carriage) is off to the right.it feels very gray and the ligthing is pretty meh so come back and retry at a different time.there is a lot of negative space in the image which some people like but i think this just isnt the picture for it.try playing around with crop and grid lines turned on and see what different framing you can get from it, maybe different aspect ratios will help.it wont be the best picture but it should be enlightening.Personally, its a cool idea for a picture but like you said what you're imagining isn't what comes out when you capture the photons, keep practicing and you'll get there, i find cropping pics really helps you see framing that is already there but you couldn't see at the moment in time
another crop i tried>>4472791i'm not >>4472790 but interesting how we came to similar ideas.And don't listen to those guys calling your stuff slop or whatever they're not constructive so why would you even care what they think
>>4472793Nice hahah. I'm the anon who cropped the one similar to yours. I didn't even consider leading lines (from the river/bayou here) as a form of composition. Thanks! Always learning something new
>>4472793Waaaah it's so fucking blue! Make it stop!

>>4472641>>4472645>>4472657>>4472784>>4472811Comfy
>>4472816>Maybe a teeny bit overexposed?Well, I didn't have a graduated filter with me so I prioritized exposure of the sands. Sometimes you just have to blow out the less important details if you can't control them, but I did try to recover as much as I could.
>>4472834I disagree with that anon, it is exposed perfectly well
>>4472798this looks about right
>>4472839Very nice. I would have wanted the skirt to be fully blacked out but it’s not bad. How did you light this?
>>4472870Thanks! I tried to edit it fully black but couldn't manage to do so. And just natural light on a cloudy day and editing, anon.
>>4472745Sound's like a (you) problem.
Here's one from the gardens I didn't intentionally overcook.Kind of enjoying laying off the greens and leaning into the cooler light of the afternoon.
>>4472795lol, doesn't look like i touched the colours or exposure in darktable, was only focussing on the cropping/framing. wasn't not focussing on the colourscape/palette either.But since we're talking about it, I actually think the green of the verge is really strong and distracting
>>4472839sweet lighting. i like how a side of the skirt is lit and there are some faint highlights here and there, making it an almost-silhouette. framing feels a bit awkward, like it should have been either wider to get the whole skirt or tighter to center the contrast >>4472883neat
>>4472626pleasant
>>4472592I don't think this is "shit" its actually really nice, but it doesn't feeel like a photo, it feels more like a background to something
I went to McDonald's and then had the post-meal urge to rub my greasy fingers all over my gear in the carpark
>>4472969Blackface? I’m this economy?
>>4472972That is her natural skin tone.
>>4472966Would have been great if her right eye was sharp as well.The others are too intimate; too little questions. Nice style though
>>4472990Can you expand on "too little questions"? I'd like to know more of your thoughts.Focus is a long and ongoing problem due to the wavelength shift, for which I compensate, the narrow DoF of 4x5, and the models never staying still. I've got some tests in the pipeline to dev and I hope I can fix it soon.
Is it fall where you guys are?
>>4473117It's barely starting here in France, there isn't really any colour yet but I'm looking forward to it
>>4473117Damn that's stunning anon. Wish it got that nice here
>>4473117It is. Nice shot. Realy nice colours. I may have gone for a bit more rail instead of the sky, if I was you. Do you have more than one version of this?
>>4473022A good story, as a good photograph should be, does never reveal itself too quickly. It's like a well composed piece of music. It gets your attention, leads you somewhere, maybe elsewhere, maybe gets back, and then reveals itself. You have to take a small journey to understand it, maybe take several turns to it. If it is too blunt it may loses its point. Except for Punk.And I wish I could specificaly point out, what the bluntness is (for a lack of a better word, I don't mean it harshly), that I felt in those two photos, but I can not really bring it into words. It feels like manipulation, but manipulation is subtle.All the best for your future work.
bucketlist check. what a bizarre place. wish i could have gone inside but its now all locked up and i guess not really safe anymore
>>4473269What is your subject>>4473117Very nice, good color and leading lines>>4472967Excellent
>>4473286nature, but you have a point
rate and hate. I don't know how to edit photos.
>>4473339a bunch of nothing>>4473341I really hate this, people who want this kind of photo are the same who have a sign that says, live laugh love, in their house not your fault anon, hope the clients paid well at least
>>4473345>a bunch of nothingrude! what about this one?
>>4473347full of cow-ards
>>4473344>pukingknight.jpg>>4473347now you're talking, pretty fun photo, could invent some bs about the 3 horizontal layers in the background etcNot amazing but fun, enjoyed it
>>4473345I offered a free shoot to expand my business but they gave me 200 bucks which will help fund my gear debt>>4473350kek definitely not the content that's usually posted here
>>4473348oh, I get it lol.>>4473350thank you, anon.
I never shoot food, but there's a competition going on here so I had to
>>4473416It looks like snot. You should think about adding artificial light.
>>4473301>planesI tried photographing some planes last night at sunset. Photographing a very small fast-moving object was harder than I thought it'd be.
>>4473424fantastic
I'm upset his mustache is wonky.Also, holy shit minature photography is demanding when you don't have controlled conditions. Lighting was fair but not great, and I was pushing super high ISOs just to get more than a millimeter in focus. Bokeh whoring was the only way to keep ISO down.

>>4473465Great shot. I like everything about it. Especially them embers. Not often have I seen them captured in such a beautiful way.
>>4473477Thanks, here’s another -Tbh, I think this particular guy just wanted to blow sparks at me. I doubt he even worked in the kitchen.
>>4473482Funny Thais.
>>4473301>>4473424lads i jus found out that 300mm and 24mp isnt enough to resolve the windows of mid-air planes (the nearest airport is over 50km from me)
Scary ass foggy mountain
>>4473571>>4473301I used 24mp with a 400mm, kind want to slap a tele on there and see if it doesn't blur out.The windows are probably going to just look white regardless, though.
>>4473571yeah, get a longer lens and shoot in vacuum. or save your money because shooting through kilometers of atmosphere is retarded
>>4473604Mine (>>4473424) was shot with a Vivitar 90-230 from 1969, not the most amazing piece of gear ever but it does an okay job if you're careful with it. Would be nice if I could save up and justify to the ball and chain dropping some fat stacks on a tele that can get reasonably sharp at long distances, not like this consumer grade dinosaur from the 60's.Imgur because I don't want to waste the image limit on this: i. imgur. com/kxx23Py.jpeg

>>4472597>t. nophoto
>>4473730>>4473731Why is it so dim and lifeless? Are you editing in darktable on a thinkpad?
>>4473735I do not like bright colors.
>>4473738>i do not want my photos to look good
>>4473745But I like that look, if they are too dim for you maybe increase the brightness on your monitor.
spooked
>>4473747Ignore the retard. He's too much of a ken-tier boomer and demands that sat slider go up.

>>4473659I like this feels suburban in a good way
Autumn colours are starting to appear, finally
Is this nice?
>>4473900looks fine to me. not really the biggest fan of the bright green foreground though
>>4473900
>>4473900Is it possible for me to afford a place like that working as freelance photographer with no real portfolio or connections?
>>4473900based
>>4473900Norway?
>>4473912Sweden?
>>4473900Delivers comfort Just like https://i.4cdn.org/p/1760102593208025.jpgImage being there. No phone, no obligations, except yourself and your animals. I have a longing for that
>>4473928Well I was there 2 days ago so I do imagine it quite well
Is the 4mb filesize limit gone?
Do you reckon this one works better than >>4473888 ? And could you suggest some improvements?
>>4472883Why is motion better captured going from left to right, such as this? Instead of the other way around

>>4474014Looks very nice.
>>4474017Thanks
>>4474019This is nice. What's is the location? Norway, Switzerland?
>>4474020ThanksIt's Voss, Norway
>>4473997I will try, thank you
>>4473973blew out the highlights but yeah this is a good shotb vewwy vewwy careful when hunting white clouds
I rly like 24mm on APS-C size sensors but there's very few primes available for K-mountI could get the Sigma ART 24mm prime but it seems pointless given I already have the (much heavier) 18-35mm ART
>>4474008fuuuuuuck that's a beautiful one broi know u know u killed it w/ thiswe need a graveyard thread
>>4473888wait, in this one the highlights are fineu would probably benefit from making curve adjustments instead of whatever you did here >>4473973 (exposure slider adjustment?) since with curves you can anchor the highlights and still raise the shadows
>>4473872prolly too shadowy, i think theres too much lost detail in the shadows, but very well composed>>4473860cool, issa vibe
>>4474029>>4474032Indeed, this is a very high contrast scene, they are different photos. I have a handful of shots for this scene. For the first image I specifically shot it to avoid blowing the highlights, but it yields quite washed-out dark areas when I brighten them (especially the trees in the background). I tried to go for a rather dark/high contrast version which I actually liked, could use some lightening though. The second one I focused more on the foreground and accepted to have these blown highlights. I like the foreground better but as you wrote, the sky kinda bothers me. I even tried a hdr with two photos but hdr being what it is, the result through LR doesn't look good, I'll try with picturenaut it could be decent. I already make different adjustments between the sky and the rest through masking in my regular shots (lower the highlights in the sky, and increase luminosity on the ground/increase the whites basically).tldr there's no winning or I'm just not good enough at processing kek. I recognized it was a pretty good scene so I'd like to get it right. Here's a third one which is kind of a middle ground. Thank you for your input btw
>>4474036>it yields quite washed-out dark areas when I brighten themyeah true I don't like that about bringing up the shadows in post but since I don't know a better way to capture HDR scenes I sorta just cope with it lmaoI've never tried bracketing, could be helpful for this type of photography.>inb4 buy a hasselbladyeah let me just take out a collateral loan on my house (which I also can't afford to have)such is life!
>>4474040I actually used hdr unironically quite a bit, back in the days when the sensors weren't that great. Since I got a D750 I don't need it for 99% of shots so I lost a bit of my know-how for these, but one of the keys is to avoid being memed by "pro" software using local adjustment algorithms that mostly suck and give the grungy look. I think it's worth trying bracketing in these situations, worst case scenario you just don't use the images. Producing decent hdr images takes a bit of know-how and investment in learning though, since most out of the box solutions and tutorials give trashy results. I mostly use Picturenaut for this which is a great free software actually developed by Christian Bloch, a guy from the VFX industry iirc, unfortunately its development has been dead for a while now but it still works great. The software is mostly aiming at natural look through global tonemappers (so a bit like LR's highlights and shadows sliders) and it's probably the fastest. Still needs some further adjustments with ps most of the time though. I also sometimes try LR's hdr module just because it's integrated within LR and I'm lazy, but it's slightly worse most of the time. Here's an hdr attempt with picturenaut using 2 handheld photos, I only increased the foreground's contrast in ps afterwards. I'll stop spamming my scene now kek
>>4474031Thanks bro. I'm still trying to think of what I want to edit into the small picture frame. I put it there as a prop (i was drunk ahahaha)
>>4474044Ooooooppppp, just realized I didnt edit the light out in this one

>>4474075What does this mean? I'm not interested by gearfagging
>>4474080>grrr did u just mention gear? i refuse to acknowledge THINGS exist because that makes me uh, LE GOODIs it a pentax or not nigger
>>4474081It isn't
>>4474081Well I'm going out shooting, please feel free to take your time explaining whade made you think I used a Pentax since you've gone suspiciously silent these last minutes
>>4474088>seething because someone asked if you used a pentax
>>4472577
>>4474090I'm still wondering why you made the remark desuI enjoy feedback so if there's something that can be improved I'm all ears
>>4474110Is this Australia?
>>4474027i like how you gave the shot the white borders but missed the focus when shooting lol
>>4474115If it's not a bot, then it's some loser who's angry at nothing in particular.
i've always enjoyed watching the squirrels in my yard, so i decided to buy a camera to take pictures of themno guarantee of quality or composition

Snapshit. This was the whitest event I’ve ever been to. And it was electric
>>4474143i wish the squirrels head was more in focus on this one, it'd be one of my favorites if it were.

>>4478700DIDNT SAGEREEEEEEEEEEE
>>4474364Please stop posting this
>>4474364I think this is a nice direction but it would definitely benefit from blurred edges, I think it would enhance the “illustrative” effect.
>>4474364I just saw the way you’ve blended the neck with the white background. If the entire image was blended into the background that way, I think it would be a great artistic effect. Also, since it’s supposed to look “illustrative,” I think, sharpness is working against you. Softness could improve the aesthetic quality of the image.
