life can be so fucking good sometimes edition

>>4423685 (OP)
and a few Venice shots

>>4423687

>>4423688

>>4423689
these would be my favourites, I have some more snapshits if anyones interested

>>4423687
>>4423689
>>4423690
nice,
which focal length should I bring to Venice
something wider than 35mm?

>>4423691
corrected

>>4423692

>>4423694
maybe this is better angle

>>4423695

>>4423691
Only bring the widest lens you can afford. It will be a fun and interesting challenge.

>>4423691
for some snapshits I found 24mm too narrow on my 24-70
the streets are claustrophobically tight yet they have these huge faces of churches that you can barely get a proper look of because of the building opposite being too close, impossible to take a proper photo of
something narrower than 35 is nice to zoom into canals as well
buildings in Italy i noticed are generally just tall af
depends on the photos you like taking but if you only bring one I would say make it a zoom

another thing, I've never seen this many tourists in my life in one place, especially if you follow the google maps route from the train station to Palazzo Ducale
so I would suggest at least on your way back to take an alternative like the street by the sea going west from the palace
there I found some blocks which were basically empty
Venice really is like the movies tho and I recommend it to anyone, finally I can understand why its so popular having been there

>>4423701

>>4423690
Which lens is this? I really dig the rendering + composition.

>>4423688
>>4423687
How come the buildings look so run down?

>>4423703
this is a sick shot as well

sigma 24-70 f2.8 art mk2 for L mount
@ 70mm, F/7.1, 1/250s
panny s5 mk2
I love this lens, its great for cars, portaits, landscapes, anything really
>>4423705
you haven't seen the worst of it mate, I guess its a combination of too hard to fix up with the canals and all, plus some regulations about keeping the historical appearance of the streets

I just wonder how much of it is historical tourist trap that is vacant, and how much is lived in by locals. My guess is 99% vacation properties.

Did you chat up any locals? What is the rent like? Where do they work? How is their amazon package delivered? How do they get to a hospital?

No, I won't

Finally good weather to bike+shoot, my favourite "go out and touch grass" hobby combo

>>4423687
I like this one the best

>>4423718
Nice but but the foreground trees saturation is too high

>>4423759
nta but I think it's beautiful. I wonder if the more I age the more ken I'll become

>>4423759
yes I agree. Was getting late and didn't want to do it, but should be easy to desaturate just the greens.

>>4423815
cool

>>4423837
just posting these two for now

Heres some really expired EXR 5293 i shot and developed at home recently
>>4423717
Is this IR? or are the plant just orange?
>>4423781
Nice colors, abit drab for my taste

>>4423718
gotta love those orange roofs

>>4423841
Yep, that's IR, a cheap ass GF2 with an expensive ass kolari filter

I really admire the travel photographs in here.

>>4423718
what camera was this taken on? fujifilm? its beautiful

What's the deal with the shitty grain?

>>4423949
you might not be familiar with it but in the biz we call it film

>>4423967
nice bug, what lens did you use?

>>4423967
cool bug

>>4423962
Ok boomer

I got to shoot a structural fire with a large fire dept response over the course of a couple of hrs. The bright spotlights and firetruck lights we're really difficult to deal with both at the time and during post processing, rendering unusable many of the shots that otherwise would have been nice. Does anyone know of any techniques or equipment that could help compensate for this kind of lighting? Is this something a filter would be appropriate for? This was my first time shooting in such an adverse condition.

>>4423821
thanks!
another one - ny local airports main runway is being serviced so theres new angles

>>4424152
Shoot under exposed.

>>4424152
This redlight is super intriguing, I wouldve focused on that first and foremost

>>4424152
post some of it! what u have in this photo-the light coming through the smoke-is really great
>>4424153

went on a bike ride with my ricoh today, was fun. i love old rotting cars.

>>4423899
>>4423838
posting a couple more

>>4424153
>>4424163

pretty cool, have an airport one too

I took ~900 pictures over ~5 hrs, with my 35mm prime for the first 3 hrs and my 17-80 for the last 2. The zoom helped with subject separation a ton since I was limited to how close I could get

>>4424169
good but the image of you lying on the ground snapping photos while real men walk by is cringe
>>4424170
u fucked with the shadows so hard here it doesnt look realistic
>>4424171
weird

>>4424171
Not weird. I have a proud collection of photos of my friends pissing. Camping, road trips, gas stations, whatever. It's funny.

>>4424174
Frame them and hang them in your bathroom.

>>4424175
THAT'S HILARIOUS! That's exactly what I have done.

shoot a corner

>>4424185
>not edges

>>4424204

>>4424205

>>4424206

>>4424206
still a little green I think, that's a bit annoying

I thought it would be a nice picture at first but I'm not so sure anymore
Random nice janitor loitering around the place I was photographing at

>>4424236
too much dead space around him. cropping like 30% would help a lot

>>4424243
Where would you crop? just crop in? because I'm not against that huge leaf cloud above his head

>>4424244
idk, something like this? make it look less superficial

>>4424245
Damn you're right! good eye anon, thanks

>>4424257
eerie
I really appreciate some of these

I love shots of incomprehensible twists of construction, especially steel and rivets. The sign is nice and anchoring, but I wouldn't miss it if it were gone.
>>4424282
These are rad shots, too. Reminds me I should back up my shit and get a fire extinguisher rated for electronics.

>>4424177
Very cool, seems like a rare photo
>>4424195
Nice framing and contrast, it makes me feel good times
>>4424294
I like this a lot. Nice job with the b/w and the hand position

yeah this one is my favorite so far, really pleases the eye that the horizon gets interrupted by the Keep off sign
I like the almost pastel colours too
very nice

getting lazy + lack of free time, editing jpegs from fuji with HP5 recipe. does the job I guess.

filler image, but i like it

messed up with this one, looked better in my head but i like the idea

I love taking photos of absolutely fucking nothing

Recent photo thread killed /p/.
Before that one russian cunt insisted on posting his shit photos as a new rpt thread every single time back in 09, this board actually had people posting sets as threads. Shit photos fell off but good photos actually had active discussion and stuff was actually interesting. Now almost all the actual photography posts are confined to here and the rest is just all gear and people tryharding posting the same tired memes over and over.

>>4424510
Ok, I'm making a photo thread

>>4424500
It begins and ends with admin incompetency.

>>4424510
/p/ was never good. Sugar was is and will always be a cunt, yall was an inbred hick fucking his sister, the only real glimmer of talent was Alex and he fucked the fuck out of here and is still producing really good landscape work.

Don't forget, you're here forever.

>>4424556
>is still producing really good landscape work.
where?

>>4424567
instagram

Panning shots on cars moving 200+km/h is kind of fucking hard. Even with practice and preperation, and a different lens, I was struggling to get the movement down.
I'm going to somewhat blame Canon's "panning detect" mode their RF lenses have. It would jerk around any time I swapped directions or if I tried to adjust the speed of my sweep; I would much rather the ability to turn panning mode off or on.

Anyway, I'll either dribble the better ones through the board over time, or I'll make another /cum/ thread if anyone gives a fuck. This board needs more photo threads.

Fuck me this board is improving. I haven't been here in a while and after opening this thread I couldn't find a photo (apart from obvious snapshits) that isn't at least decent. Nice. I guess I'm gonna post a few too.

>>4424615

>>4424616

and the last one, weird panning but I like it.

lol. lmao.
>>4424604
this dude spent film on taking pictures of shit that dudes piss on. and this >>4424599 guy took a picture of fucking flowers. what are you talking about?

i like ur work quite alot tho :)

>>4424588
nice! panning for cars is really tough but quite rewarding. you *almost* nailed it in this one. dang canon.

ill make a cum thread, i have some pictures floating around that could be cool picrels

>>4424641
You’re right that it’s a snapshit but it’s digital, not film.

>>4424647
flower one or the urinal one? Flower one is obviously digi but if the urinal one is, then bravo. you fooled me!

>>4424709
beautiful light

>>4424729
boring
>>4424732
really low contrast it looks bad
>>4424731
this? this is good. great maybe. i love shit like this

>>4424752
did you edit these from raw or SOOC?

i ruv building corners

>>4424771
Oh shit no metadata on here anymore? Is that cus of the hack?

Lately, Ive been transitioning to a darker moody style (always avoided because it looks a lot like an “instagram” style) but i really like this dark atmosphere. Any opinions?

>>4424776

>>4424776
>>4424779

>>4424780

>>4424780
>>4424781
I think the moody lighting only works if it's part of the story youre telling, like with these last two. otherwise.... yeah its just an instagram filter.

>>4424735
>>4424732
i'm kinda fucking with the hazy lack of contrast on these. evokes the feeling of wavespray in the air

>>4424772
Yep. Gear snobs btfo

Abstract shit from this weekend

Compression algorithms hates this trick!

>>4424784
Thanks, I really agree... Yet, it was something I’ve never thought about intentionally, I guess. I'll be more mindful of that. Thanks =)

I WANT EXIF BACK

Edited a couple more

>>4424798
>>4424814
I always impressed and motivated when I saw great shots with the same shitty camera and lens I had. If I were getting into the hobby, I might look at these photos and think I wouldn't be able to make something comparable without spending 3 grand.

>>4424814
Thumbnail looks like sonic.

>>4424831
same, till i got d3s and trinity, then i had to face the fact im just dogshit here forever

>>4424864
Being hard on yourself isn't worth much.

>>4424831
I only shoot film so exif is more of an interesting extra factoid to me but point taken

>>4424831
those look like iphone photos

all the exifcaust did was make me mistake micro four thirds for lab scans and mix up iphones, aps-c dslrs, and digishits.

>>4424856
really nice

>>4424856
classic Burt kino.
