All of these are just snapshots

>>4516030
exactly
snapshots are kino
>>
>>4516030
thats where you're wrong, bucko
>>
Can someone please tell me what's the difference between snapshot and documentary photography?
>>
>>4516042
Documentary photography is based;
Snapshots, cringe.
>>
>just
snapshots can be great
>>
>>4516030
I think they hit different as prints
>>
Occasionally a snapshit may appear as art, but it is rare.
>>
>>4516050
What makes a snapshot appear as art, you think?
>>
>>4516051
Nice light
>>
>>4516061
What makes light “nice?”
>>
>>4516063
You see it and go "nice"
>>
>>4516064
Gettin’ down to nuts and bolts today eh?
>>
>>4516066
If you see it you'll know exactly what I mean.
>>
>>4516063
You want that orange light that only exists one hour before sunset. If there isn't golden hour light don't even take a picture.
>>
>>4516069
Here is a good example. No point in taking pictures if the sun didn't just rise or it's about to set. Also digital cameras can't take pictures of the golden hour light. There is no point in shooting digital at all.
>>
>>4516070
anon, both these suck
>>
>>4516070
Its crazy how lighting turns this absolutely nothing photo into pure kino. >>4516073
Retard doesn't understand photography. Photography is light. Best light is golden hour. One day you will learn.
>>
>>4516070
You can use other light to good effect as well, but you gotta snap the right shot for it to work.
>>
>>4516076
What I'm saying is that if you took a photo or a dope subject. Like 10/10 composition. The best light you could light it with would be 10/10 orange golden hour light. Anything else is like a 9 or 7 or even 8 or something.

Documentary photography is of something worth documenting.
>>
>>4516089
How does one discern what is documentary-worthy?
>>
>>4516096
I don't think it can be measured objectively, especially when splitting hairs. But you can say for certain on the far ends that somethings are and aren't.

Worth taking a photos

And?

Are not able to formulate 1 relevant critique about his work?
>>
>>4516064
Only relevant post in the thread

Eggleston shore etc are grifts, not artists. Any value is limited to art student in jokes.
>>
>>4516030
They are snapshits and they are not and have never been art. He came from wealth and knew people. He was a loser gay boy and this was the only way his dad could ensure he wouldn’t be a failure. That’s it.
>>
>>4516030

Snapshots gain value as time progresses.

It truly is about who you know and not what you know.

not a bad photo but the point still stands.

I wanna set it as my wallpaper do you have higher res of that ing?

There's no reason photography has to be more complicated than this.
>>
>>4516242
>There's no reason photography has to be more complicated than this
There's a reason, that is if you want to make good photography often
>>
>>4516255
That's just deliberate recalibration of what light makes you say "nice."
>>
>>4516260
Composition/geometry isn't purely light but i do agree they are moving the camera around until you say "nice"

Amateur. Upload the raw and I’ll show you how it’s done.

Too bad.

>>4516282
Just so you can make it look like the slide? I'll have to think about that.

/p/ is dead shoogar. Not even sure why the board hasn't be repurposed to /p/irate yet.
>>
>>4516330

Dead? Debateable. I think a lot of what used to be here was bots and board tourists. I do miss people like d and 5h0e who were always dropping knowledge. No one really does that anymore.
>>
>>4516336
fe2fucker getting booted was the final straw for me unfortunately. Anyone who actually wants to do something with the hobby gets pushed out.
Only reason you stick around is stubborness, I'm guessing. At least you post shit instead of what seems to be endless gearfag wars or brand shilling. Hell, I don't post any more just because the only responses end up being "I can tell this is a Nikon" etc.

Anyway, old /p/ had higher standards. I'm not actually sure that was a good or bad thing, but the userbase is so small now that any feedback is welcomed at all.

>>4516340
fe2 knew too much and said things he wasn’t allowed to talk about, because they don’t exist and were russian disinfo

Days ago i posted what i consider the best lenses for Nikon F and i don't think anyone read it

>userbase is so small now that any feedback is welcomed at all
We are at year 2006 or alt-imageboard levels, you now know what it feels like but to be fair old forums that had decent activity also died down, the Bentacks forums, Manual Focus Lenses, even mid-life dentist crisis forums like FredMiranda.
After the plandemic it all tumbled down.

The TIFFs are missing from that roll, but you get the full JPG and NEF.
