>>4512463askewexposure is finemaybe lowering the camera parallel to the subject would have been a more interesting composition since there’s a lot of head room showing clouds which could have been foot room showing more of that buildingthe cranes are the most interesting part of the picture, anything you could have done to fill the frame more with them would have been an improvement
>>4512432there’s no shadowspulling down the shadows on the tone curve would only be an improvementI think the composition is very neat and shows a lot of care (the precise and level kerb at the bottom/railing at the top, the banner positioned along the lower vertical third and the foliage pushing across horizontal two thirds). a lot of implied geometry. highlights are fine, not too bright.could be better with more contrast
>>4512386cool viewshadows are dodged too hard (look at the face of the man on the stairs at the left, for example: even the lightest parts of his face are very dark).although it seems to be late afternoon when nearly everything is naturally in the shade, a bit more lightness in the lower midtones to contrast with the shadows would add some clarity and definition to the scene
>>4512374I don’t like it but I can’t say exactly whyit’s a nice subjectmaybe it’s the bright background and the relatively shady subject. it might feel better with some more light on the subject
>>4512525>I don’t like it but I can’t say exactly whyThe HDR and being crispy sharp while lacking detail is what I don't like about it. Almost certainly a phone pic.
>>4512523Thanks for the comment. The Shakespeare sign represents the hardening of attitudes in the UK.
My favourite day of the year for photographing
>>4512386Used to work there. Good times
>>4512463nice but please respect your own snapshits
Experimenting on something that I hate to do… self portrait
>>4512522>>4512629Thanks for feedback, your crop is way better. I think you have a point regarding the color and contrast too but I am not sure about making the sky fully piss yellow like that, but I see the point.
>>4512630Here's another alleyway shot I did I like this one but prefer the low lightin on the other one more.>>4512713Kind of boring >>4512714This one is better >>4512452Neat somehow reminds me of a Wong Kar Wai movie
blues
>>4512751Thank you for the feedback :) I have no ideas of how to shoot self portraits and I don’t like to expose myself, so I didn’t know how it was going to be the result. I got a couple more, but they are even duller.
>>4512762NTA but you could experiment more with shadows, like putting some odd shaped object in front of the light to cast a shadow across your face.
>>4512791Thank you, I’m going to try experimenting more next time :)
>>4512360did you crop this from the very center of a larger picture? photo would be good if it wasn't so muddy around her head Guy in the background is creepy af too, removing his face can't hurt
>>4512801>guy in the background is creepy af tooso people WERE going to notice. it’s not a crop I just used rly high ISO and the resolution is crap
Multistory carparks at golden hour are kino

sleep deprived 4am photo
sometimes the misses still have merit
Went to a car show recently with a bunch of lowriders and bikes and took some pics. I just want to know your thoughts on what I have so far
>>4512974This is my favorite. I feel like it would be slightly better if you gave the bike some breathing room.
>>4512981How's this? I don't have much more room to give sadly
>>4512981>>4512983I just noticed the cigarette in the corner and it was pissing me off, so I just quickly edited it out
>>4512983I prefer this one.
>>4512987really? I just thought it was distracting
>>4512986a quick edit for the cigarette lovers out there
surry hills
>>4513034I feel like I've walked that shithole of a road down to the QVB a thousand times.
Fluffy little clouds
>>4513037>everything is pink except the white objectsgreen tint can be compensated for, they saidjust change the white balance in post, they saidit will be fine they said
>>4512869I cant describe how much i like this photo.Did you edit it? It gives aero frutuger vibes, just more realistic
Last one
>>4513077lmao, cheers senpai. it's just a hill near where I live and every time I look at it, it reminds me of the windows xp background. I'll try to get a midday shot while it's still wet enough for the grass to stay green.edit wise i'm using a fuji provia film emulation profile which pushes the blue and green towards teal, also added orange into the shadows to remove the natural blue cast which is why the saturation is absolutely juiced.
>>4513087>which is why the saturation is absolutely juicedI would've said you're using Ektar for show saturated this is.
>>4513088yeah definitely am blasting the saturation, funny you should say that since I basically only shoot ektar on 120 and fujicolor 100 on 135 (pic related) which massively influenced how I color digital.
>>4513089Based. I'm too afraid to boost saturation because I think it'll end up like a Ken Rockwell photo.
>>4513090I haven't added saturation to a photo in probably five years. Gonna do it now for a change. Yeah, that sucked. Not doing that again for another five years at least.
1/2I just really thought this place looked interesting, not much of a subject but more about the vibe I guess.
2/2
>>4513151>>4513150nice shots my brovva
>>4512994fuckin kek
Actual first time doing any kind of editing, give it to me
>>4513160how do i put thisI can't tell if you chose a wide aperture, if your focus is off or if your lens is soft on the edgesalso, what did u even do? raise saturation? maybe, I'm just guessing. change contrast? it seems barely changed from a regular camera output. was the original exposure very dark or overly bright?anyway, cool barn.
>>4513166Yes I did use a wider aperture, and perhaps a too fast shutter speed. I'm new to photography so I dont really know what you can get away with in terms of under/overexposing a photo. From my understanding you may have to do that at times to get a clearer/more focused photo and can just fix it with software?
>>4513205Cool shot
>>4513230That's so good wow.
Spotted this flattened plant on an old railway track (now a walking path).
I love the photos out of my Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D. Its my forever camera. Just something about the photos makes me pleased even though its not sharp. This is with a molded up Tamron 28-300mm.

punk show for palestineneed some feedback thx
>>4513288The band is in the shadows and barely visible. We see a couple of backs, but mostly just the nice looking legs. Your subject here is legs. Not the band nor the audience.
>>4512973Enjoying this one more than I thought I would when I first looked at it. If only there was a way to suggest more motion from the bird
>>4513268Love this one. Thanks for sharing, anon>>4513288You wanted me to see "punk show for palestine" instead I see "nnnnghn fishnets"
Going to dump some shots I took in NYC.

Hip photo through a long abandoned stores window. There was a load of cool stuff in there in near mint condition, but I could only really see through just one window.
>>4513340Thanks. Always looking for these type of patterns / shapes.
From today’s practice… used to do nature photography (while I was hiking), but lately I’ve been into street photography and learning how to see people and architecture.
>>4513407
>>4513408
>>4513409I’m trying not to flood the thread, sorry, last one
>>4513407quite nice. the spotlighted tree and dude are great, nice light streak. i wish the two other poeple were not there... and maybe the light area on top is distracting.>>4513408good. a bit too much negative space as the lower part doesn't offer much.>>4513409nice. good exposure and good compthe last one is fun, but kinda obvious.
>>4513348why did you choose to align your dof like this? why do we want to look at the bright windows? very good moment if this is not a composite.
>>4513407these are all decentno squeaking to be made about exposure except in praise, really even and balanced, highlights and shadows are detailedthe compositions are good but they could be better if you could get closer to these people, either by approaching them (which ruins the candidness) or with a more extreme telephoto (how game are you?) or a higher resolution camera so you can crop more >>4513409this is really solid but I am gonna steal this post's >>4513413 phrasing and call it "obvious"I overall really like your posts and look forward to seeing more. you could start your own thread if you're afraid of spamming /rpt/
>>4513348despite the focus being obviously on the walkway it took me a while to notice the pedestrian right in the middle. not sure if that says more about my observational skills or your compositioni don't think the tilted focus is helping this photo at all, because it's a wide angle I keep trying to look around the space but it's mostly blurry
>>4513413>>4513415Thank you for the feedback! I've been "studying" a couple of street photographers to try to learn the necessary perception on street photography and tried a couple of compositions that I usually see. Im not really used/confortable to take pictures from strangers yet so I try to incorporate them in my photos in a subtle way, trying to get unnoticed. Im shooting most with a 70-200mm, usually close to 100mm. >you could start your own thread if you're afraid of spamming /rpt/I've made one recently about a travel to China (when I started getting interested on street photography), so I think I will wait a little and gather a little more photos to build a more robust body of work to try to get a feedback.Thanks for all the feedback :)
>>4513608
>>4513609
>>4513608>>4513609>>4513610I have seen these exact snapshits before but with a husky. Right down to the slightly wrong white balance and slight front focusing (characteristic of nikon). And overgrown backyard, and beige american McHouse. I’ve even seen that exact same chain link fence with a husky in front of it. Are the dog snappers seriously all one guy? He snaps a different dog for each season!
>>4513611yesits one guy with a dogsitting side gig that pays for his camera buying hobby
>>4513611>>4513612Thank you for the compliments
>>4513613Compliment? These photos are low on quality and originality. Senseless bokeh (keeping the ISO down champ?)“Available” light, not intended lightRule of thirds dog, centered dog, dog in overgrowth, seen them all. Next is dog in front of chainlink right? Dog sleeping on couch? Dog sleeping on porch?Surely you can do better than taking generic photos of dogs in your back yard?
>>4513614Thank you for another compliment of my work, you must really like them
>>4513615Surely you can do better than taking generic photos of dogs in your back yard? It’s not really even photography. Eggman is showing more artistic talent than you now.
>>4513616My last 8 posted to the board don't include the dog, but you forgot to compliment those tooDo you post all the shots you take here? How brave of you, I only post some
>>4513617Do you think im the mossadmod and can track your posts? Lol get a trip if you want your distant unrelated posts to somehow apologize for these mediocre generic dog pictures
>>4513619Oh you made it sound like you thought I only posted dog photos, so I was providing an educational opportunity for youI guess you liked the other photos so much you couldn't even put it into words, thank you, truly
>>4513620No one knows which photos are yours besides the terribly generic test shots taken in your backyard. For all you know everyone sees boring thumbnails and scrolls past without a thought if it doesn’t have your husky/corgi in it. If you want your supposedly better photos (supposedly) to apologize for your generic dog test shots get a tripcode. But perhaps they aren’t better so you prefer the ambiguity for your ego.
>>4513621>without a thought if it doesn’t have your husky/corgi in it.Does make you wonder about the intent of the people that respond only to thoseThank you for the compliments today, really boosted my energy
>>4513623They see you effectively reposting the same super shit retaken pet photo again and wish you’d at least try to be better. given how often you avatarfag with retaken photos of your dog whilst arguing like a brand fanboy, just so you can say>but i avatarfagged with a snapshit so im correct!You should try to be more recognizably good instead of a permanent beginner. Your last act was intolerable>micro four thirds is BAD!>no it is n>I POSTED A DOG SNAPSHIT I WIN THE ARGUMENT
>>4513166>anyway, cool barnI have recently coined the term BILP:Barn I'd Like to Photograph
>>4513624Thank you nophoto
>>4513624> but i avatarfagged with a snapshit so im correct!Gearfags doing this devalues /p/ itself and is why the same 3-4 names are 100% of the drama (all 3-4 people that avatarfagged with their snapshits to win arguments)The truth is if someone’s constant photographic output were good enough to give weight to their hot takes they’d use a tripcode or make a thread but in every case there’s no trip but photographic avatarfagging it’s because they only take photos in their back yard.
>>4513635>because they only take photos in their back yardWhen I do post other photos, people here just say they're stolen (which I take as a compliment) or feedback is generally positive (if they don't contain the dog or are a collage)Would the board be a better experience for you if I started using my trip again?
>>4513639>when i>-the very famous and important Anonymousidc if you’re the collage reposter or one of the other 2 or 3 functionally identical brand shill retardsno one cares
>>4513639>When I do post other photos, people here just say they're stolenthere's some fuck in my city that copies my photos and posts them on reddit. he takes the photos himself, but always just happens to visit the same places i did and does the same angle and those redditor fucks praise him for being so creative.
>>4513640>no one cares Sure seems like you do lolBut yes, 99% of the collages here come from Corgichad
>>4513641That is the most reddit thing i’ve ever heard
>>4513642please dont talk about yourself backyard pet snapper #4
>>4513643it's a mainchan thing
>>4513649What do you mean?
>>4513635Trvth nvke. Photography is not a race to see who can throw away their dignity and start becoming a recognizable pseudononymous poster to meet arbitrary criteria in an internet argument. >post photo!not in response to you cuz aint no one wants to be like the dogcucksprotip for you, the viewer: if you are having an argument because someone told you your brand sucks or something (it does btw) and your next reply is going to be post photo, just leave the argument and go post your own photo somewhere else (you’re totally out of argument material anyways)
>>4513272km 7d + minolta 70-210mm f/4 beercanthis one seems pretty good optically, the other one i have is garbage. lots of purple fringing. personally if i want a a-mount tele i break out the 100-300mm apo (compact, great iq) or the 100-200mm f4.5 (cheap, half the size)
>>4513654this was with the 28-300mm tamron a061
>>4513655same 28-300mm with mold on it
>>4513656same lens, i expected worse out of those superzooms but honestly its the same as a cheap shitty kit lens just with more reach
>>4513365>>4513368i dig the grain on these>>4513409>>4513410those two are nice>>4513657these all look great to my eyes. also planes are cool"our system thinks your post is spam" wtf how does anyone post in this shithole anymore?
>>4513679>>4513680astonishingly bad image qualitythe lens seems to have been made of plasticthe sensor size so small detail is obviously smudged, even at just browser size viewleaving aside comments on the snapshot-tier subjects and framing, get a better camera and lens, or, if you have the wherewithal and guts, find a subject so exquisite not even bad image quality is a detrimenton the lighter side, I think it was worth taking a photo of the paint. if you hadn't, how could I ever have seen it? keep an eye out for stuff like that, it tells a story.
>>4512607it seems like a very beautiful, royal celebration
>>4512613this is nice framing, although tight: the drummer's feet got cut off, and some of the flagnitpicking, though. I like the colors and tone. did u use film? if so, what kind? if digital, what was your post-process?
>>4513651>to meet arbitrary criteria in an internet argumentMaybe people shouldn't imply I only take pictures of my Corgi when the majority of what I post doesn't include him?I guess I should just start using a trip againI hope one day you are able to get a camera and enjoy photography
>>4512572great shot, honestlyi like you chose to get parallel, it's a real benefitI don't like the cat's expression, though, seems too alert, like it's about to move a crop would help the composition, or if you had been able to move the camera left at the time, to position the cat's face closer to the right-hand side. because it's towards the centre, it pushes the legs towards the edge of the frame on the left and it feels unbalanced to me. I'm not certain it's worth mentioning, hopefully someone else can weight in on the composition, too.great shot though, I love cats. I'd love to do a wildlife series of street cats.
>>4513681hang yourself creep
>>4513686>still cryingOk badphoto
>>4513708>cryingI take all the hate as a compliment at this point. How much you nophotos seethe brings me joy now.I used to care about the "truth" and trying to persuade with facts and logic, but I've given up on that. It's either malicious trolling or retardation, or both, but in any case, if posting a picture of my dog gets 3 comments raging about it, I know I must be doing something right.
>>4513713>sinu devolved into the “dont you dare say the fujikon xzwhatever has bad autofocus and actually prove you need more” guytruly boomerification gets them all. one day a young man actually drives his car, but once he passes 30 he’s on a forum, mad that someone thinks their gt86 handles better than his mustang.
>>4513716Thank you :)
>>4513699??
>>4513738i like this a lot, i think its really goodgreat symmetry broken by the gherkin and red car off to one sidei feel like the orange light coming from the doorway below the balcony on the right is distracting do you print or sell these? seems like tourists and anglophiles would dig them
>>4513785>great symmetry broken by the gherkinI still don't quite understand why London builds such ugly skyscrapers. They're already a rare thing in London, and yet it's like each one is deliberately ugly.
>>4513746>>4513749i like the use of tilt shift in these shots a lot more than your mall shot, it seems a lot more effective. the out of focus areas aren't drawing my eye at all because there's a very clear subject maybe the whole "toy" aesthetic is an acquired taste, though. it's so distinctly tilt-shift.
>>4513786>thats_a_penis.gif
>>4513786>I still don't quite understand why London builds such ugly skyscrapers.We get over excited>They're already a rare thing in LondonThere are literally dozens of skyscrapers and more going up all the time, what are you talking about man>and yet it's like each one is deliberately uglyThe buildings themselves are not particularly ugly, we just cluster them all close together. They are trying to remedy this though. By putting them everywhere.
>>4513938>The buildings themselves are not particularly uglyThe shard is meant to look like broken glass, the egg looks like something someone sticks up their ass and the walkie talkie building looks more like a melting TV. The tallest buildings in London are the absolute ugliest.
>>4513610>>4513609>>4513608Really nice and cute dog photographs as usual. Love to see them.
>>4513940samefag
>>4513951Wrong, but that's okay. :)
>>4513951to be a samefag or a tripfag, that is the question:whether ‘tis nobler without name to sufferthe ugly trolls’ accusations “samefag!”Or to set up options for a tripcodeAnd with not’riety end them.
I'm glad that my photographic identity doesn't cause autistic rage desu

Just picked up the new viltrox 35mm EVO II for around 260 usd. Really nice lens for the price

>>4513996Thats all folks. So far enjoying my impulse camera buy still which is a good sign
>>4513980If you found a dog mannequin would you photograph it?
>>4513980because you actually do photography instead of avatarfagging with your pet to “win” my-brand-isnt-shit-yours-is gear arguments that you lack the facts and reality to actually win, and thus, shouldnt even engage inamazing how just doing photography instead of insisting whatever budget bitch camera you bought is great and avatarfagging with your pet doesnt cause drama amirite fellas
>>4513980You triggered the #1 dramafag to write another seething essay. Kek
>>4514004>me? the problem? no only one person has a problem everyone loves me and my heccin borker chungus woofy boihating on avatarfag dogs is vintage /p/ by nowhttps://archive.palanq.win/p/thread/4269944/#4273729i member when an avatarfag dogposter almost ruined /fgt/its always dogs. fr. cats = bad photos, dogs = bad posters. /p/ needs an AI image filter to automatically block dog and cat snaps and apply a 1000x px resize, sharpening pass, and saturation boost to every image.
>more autistic ramblings from the #1 dramafagKEK
>>4514008>>4514002Agreed. /an/ tourists ruined /p/. /an/ crossboarders are #1 in always taking bait and having to get the last word in. Its their board culture. /p/ was exceedingly peaceful just until a bunch of /an/ posters showed up. A /p/ without dog or cat snapshits would be much higher quality. Ironically the /an/ invasion could have been solved by enforcing the no snapshots rule since all they posted for months was snapshots of their pets.
>3 dog pictures posted in rpt>autistic seething ensues
>>4514013You’re right. The /an/ons are so mad they literally cant stop replying. Their entire board is like this.
The guy that always replies with seething essays to corgifag reminds me a lot of the guy that replies to every single one of canon's posts with seethe. It takes two to tango, fellas!
>>4514016>only one person told cANON to fuck offno a lot of people disliked himthankfully he got banned so many times his trip doesnt work, his name doesnt work, and if he posts his husky for any reason you can just report it for trolling and it vanishes
>>451401795% one guy and 5% other people. It is pretty obvious. Just like the one guy that always seethes at corgifag. There's far worse pictures in this very thread and his pics were the only ones that got weirdly obsessed essays written about them.
>>4513689>like it's about to moveit didn't, I picked that one because it was the only one where you could see those beautiful eyesThanks for the advice
>>4514020no a lot of people dislike him too
>>4514028And all those people choose to use the exact same phrases, words, writing style, and seem to know his entire posting history going back multiple years? There's only like 20 people that post on /p/ these days. It is not difficult to notice trends in posting style.
>>4514029>le posting styleok schizo! :D
>>4514001I thought I had a dog mannequin already but I think this is what I was remembering. I would definitely snap one it I saw one tho, just for the novelty.>>4513988>>4513989>>4513998For nowhere with nothing you have some pretty nice shots here.

>>4514071Fuck, I probably have enough records and CDs in my collection to make a fake record store set in my own house.
>>4514080Do it. You could post some quality pics.
>>4514081Would /p/ actually be interested in seeing so much of my record collection? I suppose over time I could get some small tables to make up the setpiece, as right now they're all on shelves with the spines set out like books.
>>4514080I literally said to the shopkeep I would need a couple grand to set up a set like this and how happy I was she let me take some photos there. I say do it, it's kino.
>>4514084I'll try it out then, all I really need are some of those boxes to make it look like a store and a few music posters. Luckily I'm a physical media autist that has been buying CDs, records and tapes for 10 years, so the expensive part is already done lmao.
