alien building

More from the IR shoot. I agree a bit psychedelic and eerie but hoping for more warmth/serenity.

>>4443521
This is an interesting composition with great contrast

>>4443554
Long exposure noise reduction disabled?

>>4443554
How long was this exposure
The water looks great. The little canyon is nice. Am I imagining it or could it stand to be rotated a couple degrees CCW

>>4443555
I might just have forgotten to enable that, we’ll see if it clears up in subsequent outings. Appreciate the feedback >>4443556
you are correct it looks much better about 4 degrees rotated. It’s 13” with iso 800.

>>4443585
you should do more like this. Very spooky

>>4443586

Do you mean specifically having ghosts in the photo? I tell my sub just to hold still about 2/5 of the exposure and then walk away swiftly. I don’t do nearly as many with people in them.

>>4443590
yeah more ghouls would be cool. Really gives the purgatory vibe

What do ya think?

>>4443554
I tried my hand at IR photography for the first time two month ago with mixed results. but I have one good shot. obviously, trichromed

>>4443625
another one from the same film

>>4443626
I'll try some more in August, maybe on 120 film see what that looks like

>>4443554
Almost looks like a Clair Obscur : Expedition 33 screenshot!

>>4443594
fantastic photo mate

Hey pros, do you cpl for sunsets, I don't have in this size yet

>>4443636
I zoomed in and enjoyed the details
very naise

>tfw no one around smoking under an colorful umbrella

>>4443627
Very cool shots. At first I thought it was chromatic aberration and decided to read up on the trichromatic process so it makes sense how much that shadow color shifted with layered shots. Are these stacked digitally or dark room or what?

Here’s another shot and on this one it was cloudy overhead so much softer look.

>>4443511 (OP)

>>4443788
based deens appreciator, blessed thread

>>4443782
thanks anon. I've stacked them digitally, in gimp. took me a bit until I got everything right, as there is a slight misalligment between shots no matter how hard I try to avoid any movement.

I really like your shots. the light seems a little diffused and the pictures tend to have a dreamlike feel to them.

one random shot from the last roll. this is agfa apx 100, develped at home. I think I shouldn't have reused the fixer. oh well, we live and we learn.

>>4443816
I find gimp overwhelming and I think if I did that workflow I’d lose some interest in photography but maybe you have it dialed in.

Been adjusting my post process formula a little to mostly control the excessive blues. I’m using darktable for all post processing and find it easier than back when I was on Lightroom.

I'm not sure about this one. I feel like it's a good shot but I'm having trouble feeling really happy about it.

>>4443891
Feeling similarly about this one. Feels like it could be good if I knew what I was doing...

>>4443892
I like the layers here and especially on far right side with that water reflection. I watercolor and this would be perfect for painting too.

>>4443917
Thanks. I've been loving the IR shots too. Very dream-like

pointless snapshits incoming

>>4443931
Pointless snapshits make my eyes bleed. How could you do this to me?

everyone died.

>>4443829
This is a very intriguing photo set. I like the little story it tells, maybe just try and match the exposure between the frames a little better.

>>4443788
Instant save. Zased.

>>4443829
beautiful.

>>4443871
we live in a socity

>>4443891
the bird one is kinda boring imo but the skyline is nice

>>4443932
nice

lotta bangers today

still editing old RAWs
very humbling and challenging process

Just a PSA- if you'rer a handsome social recluse just hang a camera around your neck.

time to go take moar photos
>>4443994
this is a good one
>>4443953
this one too
>>4443928
comfy golden hour lighting
>>4443871
disturbing reality of modern socialisation

>>4443997
>disturbing reality of modern socialisation

Makes me wonder if they are actually friends.

>>4443994
no offense but this picture is beyond cooked. what the hell did you do to it?

>>4444002
I lifted the blacks in curves.

>>4444003
No its more than that, theres like a ton of noise removal or sharpening or something going on. look at the faces, the details are all extremely soft or jsut blurry, but the girl on the far right has a super crisp outline going around her face. its just an uncanny photo to me sorry. im gonna guess you accidentally missed focus and tried to fix it in post because wrinkle in the guys shirt far left of frame is actually more detailed than the subject.

idk, if you did actually hit focus, id redo the editing.

>>4444008
Here's the raw- I always run the denoiser, but they are probably wearing make up

>>4444014
you needed flash for this picture unfortunately

>>4444001
>>4443994
You aigh't white boi

>>4444011
Like this a lot. The sun falling on the seat

>>4444015
Figured.

>>4444020

>>4444021
I was hoping for someone to do that.

>>4444020
what's going through his mind, you think?

>>4444025
Looks like he shit his pants

>>4444018
this is spectacular. I love it

Should I bother buying my own camera?

>>4444067
hell yeah brother

>>4443511 (OP)
so much AI ITT

>>4444068
Alright maybe I will
I got this EOS 2000D but I have to return it at some point

>>4443511 (OP)

>>4443875
lovely

>>4444070
beautiful

I like old twisted trees and branches. No idea how to photograph them though

getting back into the hobby now, used to shoot a lot of b&w

Spent a lot of time with the family this weekend but here are some shots.

(This was supposed to be posted with the previous picture),

Bidness.

Just mundane shit around my parents house before we did our fireworks.

Hope my fellow Americans had a great weekend!

>>4444357
thumbnail looks like piss streams lel

>>4444398
>this is what passes for an attractive woman in 2025 America
Oh how the mighty have fallen

from my trip to st pete 2 weeks ago

>>4444404
she's attractive chud

was too pussy to take my camera out on the beach so left it in the car

Rdy4x

>>4444404
What's your idea of an attractive woman?

>>4444069
Which ones?

>>4444414
they're a retard, just ignore them

>>4444421
Just wanted to see if he'd actually try.

Finally a night without rain

>>4444474
i'm so brain rotted from this place i thought this wa another egg photo from the thumbnail lol

>>4444476
The great big egg in the sky

>>4444476
Don't worry I'll take another one this week

>>4444405
>from my trip to st pete
I really hope you took pictures that were of something other than parking lots

>>4443994
dey fine AF

Please rate my leaves and building corners

So edgy

Look at those angles
>>4444574
Oups wtf

Am I a street photographer yet?

>>4444571
sav.ed
unique shots nice job

>>4444592
Because I am not a shut in I took these in a mysterious place people call "outside" and "while traveling".

>>4444593
>im not a shut in
>taking creep shots from miles away is totally normal
Sure thing buddy

>>4444594
It is a 5cm lens I am mere meters away. You are foolish.

>>4444595
I’m bored and wanted to be a dick
Sorry anon

>>4444597
All is good anon.

>>4444576
in my opinion you're not a street photographer until you get yelled at
I wasn't a street photographer when I took these

>>4444577
I'm a big fan of forced perspectives like this. Really butters my bread.

>>4444579
marvellous
reminiscent of the hateful eight's ten-dick-long widescreen

>>4444571

the colours are at least harmonious
it actually gets better the more I look

it's like a kid's drawing
shit, but charming
I like the way everything swirls around the centre

you've won me over

>>4444572

everything is clashing
it's like noise music

>>4444573
2/10
this one is better than the last one
I like the curly fence

I took all these photos three years ago with my Sony a7ii & 50mm f/1.4 lens
just practicing processing more-or-less
I cropped most of them, dropped exposure on most too, changed the white balance on them all, adjusted their tone curves, threw a film sim on one or two and called it a night
>>4444474
frothing that tape distortion
>>4444420
peak album cover
reminiscent of flood by boris and a storm in heaven by the verve

Any reccomendations on touching up more in lightroom?

>>4444714
Soften that hard blue tinge on the face

>>4444726
Ty much better.

>>4444594
>>4444595
200mm street photography is based though

>>4444741
how did you take this?

>>4444759
I kinda explained in another gear thread, but I'll repaste here with more info.

This was just at Medieval Times (They let you bring in as big of a camera as you want so long as you dont use flash which is pretty based for an event venue). Shot on the EFS 18-135mm F3.5-5.6.

This is on Canon 90D (APS-C) at a 5.6 fstop because I was zoomed in at 112mm in low light. Shutter at 1/640. 3200 ISO. I was shooting AF because fuck trying to manual this.

Just sitting at the table, wiping the food grime off my hands with a wet-wipe when this show horse came out. They have good lighting and fog machines, venue did most of the heavy lifting to be honest.

Pic posted is another from this same batch. Completely ungraded (though cropped)

>>4444767
>ungraded
do we say ungraded if its not video? something about it struck me as odd but it may just be autism. either way, that fog effect looks neat, i'd wantt to make it more contrasty and moody.

>>4444769
Straight out of camera or SOOC I guess is the term lol

Great pic though, never in a million years would have guessed it was medieval times.

>>4444769
>>4444770
>Ungraded

You caught me. I mostly do video, though photo is a shit-ton more fun.

>>4444767
>as big of a camera as you want so long as you dont use flash
Based, now to roll in with an 8x10 monorail

>>4444781
CBA to search for it but there was a guy who did that for the Olympics, pretty interesting results.

>>4444781
That would be pretty tough without flash. Most longer FL lenses have a max aperture of f9-f14.

>>4444767
>>4444741
These look fucking awesome, well done to you and the venue. You should share it with the venue/handler somehow, they'd be delighted to have these shots of their work.

Hi everyone!

Walked around another Ohio River town today: Greenup, Kentucky. It's the county seat of Greenup County, which also holds Raceland (where I shot last week).

There's a handful of churches on Greenup's Main Street.

one of my first photographs with ccd sensor

>>4444939
I forgot to straighten this one in post... shame.

Best back of the head picture I've ever taken

A purple poppy.

>>4444668
nice colours
>>4444741
>great success!
>>4444793
good use of shallow depth-of-field
>>4444917
>one of my first photographs with ccd sensor
what have you got? I've been sperging out over that kind of camera recently. would like a FinePix S5 Pro or a Kodak DCS Pro SLR myself. the Kodaks seem really retarded to use but have decent colours, judging by what I saw in a Flickr group. the FinePix has a mega-saturated look that I really like.
your photo is good by the way, great sky colours.
>>4444771
>photo is a shit-ton more fun
please elaborate
>>4444998
this is awesome

S5pro is a great camera. Awesome looking images/colors. Kinda slow, but it's whatever.

>>4445029
>>photo is a shit-ton more fun
>please elaborate

When I take a picture, I get a good shot and go "Fuck yeah, this looks sick" I just gotta crop here, adjust the levels here. All good to go and I'm done

When I take a video, I get a good shot and go "Fuck, I gotta add sound, transitions, music, and make sure this all in service of the story I'm trying to convey"

Video's great and I love it too. But I just find photo way easier.

>>4445051
>I get a good shot and go "Fuck yeah, this looks sick"
I literally said this a couple times tonight lol
this photo's not from tonight tho
yeah fuck I wanna get into video too, it's gonna be a whole different ball game though, like you said

>>4444921
that's a good fucking wall right there

>>4445151
I cooked this one so I toned it down a little on this one
>they're the same picture
no

>>4445151
>>>4445051
>>I get a good shot and go "Fuck yeah, this looks sick"
>I literally said this a couple times tonight lol
my problem is i think that while shooting, but when i get around to editing everything is trash. what do?

>>4445160
Make your composition simpler: no more than two elements of interest per photo, and get closer. Maybe it would help you find what's working and what's not.

>>4445205
But then that means ignore “hey that looks cool”. Why does it look cool in my eyes but shit on a photo? Is this some metaphysical thing

>>4445214
>Why does it look cool in my eyes but shit on a photo?
Because cameras are reductive. There are colors, tonal differences, shadows, details, textures, distant foliage, highlights etc that are within the range of your eyes but fall apart when a camera tries to record them.

The copes are:
Buy a nicer camera (ie: Fuji GW690 + competent scanning still mogs $15k digital setups)
photograph less stuff

Neat architecture in downtown frederick

>>4445284

>>4445286

>>4445160
you're just being too hard on yourself anon

>>4445029
>this is awesome
thanks anon

>>4444999
are those weird artifacts in the shadows from 4chan?

>>4445160
besides what >>4445214 said, just take more photos to up the chances of good edits. Nothing wrong with thinking something is good at the time of shooting only to get to the computer and realize its not (for any number of reasons). Unless youre being paid to produce some number of good photos maximizing fun at each step is the key. Sure its unfortunate to get to the editor and realized you missed focus, or miss framed, missed composition, or just its not the same feeling you had in the moment, but if you enjoyed snapping the picture it was worth it.

>>4443579
>>4443511 (OP)
I assume both of these are taken by the same anon? if so these look great. Did you use film for these or just hit the B&W button in Lightroom

>>4449603
Yeah, both me. B&W conversion in RawTherapee with further touchups in Photoshop.

>>4449626
gj anon
good shit

>>4449627
Thank you. I wish I had brought my CPL, it would've complimented the simulated red filtering.
