Trying night shooting, i need a f 1.4 as i hate tripods

I can't tell if I'm making my shit more retarded with how I'm editing.

Leave everything digitally or give it a more stylized faux filmish look? Editing is a billion times harder than shooting.

>>4445332
whoops already posted this one last thread

>>4445331
1.8 or 2.8 can get by

>>4445331
embrace noise

>>4445334

>>4445331
forgot to say, this would be better if you edited it so all those were more perfectly vertical

>>4445336
I wish i had moved slightly to the right for this

I went to the ocean for Independence Day. Given how far away I live from it, I think it's fascinating and really beautiful. I'm sure every beach shot has been done to death but I was in the zone and having a great time.

Here I simulated a graduated density filter with gentle blue tint from the top. Is it too much? Noticeable?

>>4445339
This is very nice, i only maybe wish the boy and bird were centered and there was some sand at the bottom. This would make a good print

>>4445342
Centered vertically? Or with more padding on the left and right?

>>4445345
I had meant centered vertically. It's kind of a preferance thing since right now theyre on the bottom third line but with how wide it is i think having those subjects centered vertically would be more striking, You also get a wider gradient of blue to tan/sand color but you maybe would have had to change the angle of the shot to accomplish that. Either way its a nice shot.

>>4445350
Thank you and thank you for the feedback.

Tips for being limited to a built in flash and flash in general?

>>4445355
I never use a flash

honestly i just use some paper or whatever i have on me to try and "soften" the flash.

>>4445346
this would be better with less saturation but cool high-key edit
>>4445355
it’s always gonna look like flash photography no matter hwat you do son
embrace it

Fucked the framing, I wanted more of the sky

I went to a 2008 era LAN party with 2008 computer hardware and a 2008 compact camera, played 2008 era games and drank Bawls like it was 2008.

The storms on the beach were daily. Five inches of rain in five days, but that's just July.

I've never taken a shot of a storm cell like this before. When I took it, it didn't look like the classic storm cell photos you see from weather photography. It wasn't until I brought it into my editor and dialed in the range and contrast. I'm very happy with this shot.

>>4445451

I used to pick up in Tar Heel NC which is outside of Fayetteville where this was and we always hit up this really good Chinese restaurant while we waited on our shit to get loaded, that's what I did this time around here.

>>4445450

12v and I recently upgraded the Bosch fuel pump on it

>>4445454

There's a Walmart in Fayetteville by the airport and this Chinese place is in that plaza, shit was so damn good.

>>4445439
Imagine the smell

Don't normally do stuff like this but I was kind of enjoying fucking with setting up scenes. I need a studio box.

>>4445515

>>4445515
This background blur is headache inducing.

>>4445446
There were lots of birds and wildlife. For the most part, they didn't seem to mind people nearby. I was able to get closer than I was expecting to. This lad was practically a model for me.

>neither can we without a before pic

Good point lol. Here's a non-filmesque version for comparison.

4:3 is kinda weird huh

I took this picture specifically for you guys

>>4445549
Sorry homie, that was f/22 and even this one is f/16. Not much you can do at such distances. Model was as close to the box as possible. I did a few stacking shots but I didn't like how it blended it while using flash.

>>4445729
ah, the canon look

Just earlier tonight.

>>4445756
I'm a whore for long exposures

>>4445758
I've been trying to get into them lately. I'm surprised my phone does as well with them as it does.

I'm trying to figure out how to get pictures of stars, but I can't strike a good balance for the exposure time. Too long makes the stars streak from moving, not long enough doesn't make them show, and high iso looks like dog anus.

>>4445766
Get a Pentax with astrotracer lol.

>>4445770
I'm an unemployed broke ass bitch. That's why I go around taking pictures with a Walmart tripod and two cell phones, one of which I've had for probably 6+ years and is shitting out horribly.

>>4445766
> I can't strike a good balance for the exposure time. Too long makes the stars streak from moving, not long enough doesn't make them show, and high iso looks like dog anus.
Welcome to astro, where everything is fighting against you. You can get a tracking mount for your tripod which would let you take longer exposures, or you'll need to buy a camera with a bigger sensor. There's some major nerdage that can go into how to do astro photos properly, but the reality is you've probably reached the extent of what the phone can do for you.

>>4445729
oh yeah this a banger

>>4445748
Nah, I love being at the family ranch but im back in wage slave city so we can both be depressed.

>>4445884
Compared to the other ship pic this is way better with it being night/b&w.

>>4445862
If my family had a ranch I sure as hell would try to be working and living there.

>>4445348
>>4445380
Why so little room at the top of the frame?

>>4445920
Im going to as soon as i finish updating my house and getting out of my business. Its honestly heaven on earth compared to shit ass city living. The ranch is more of a hobby in retirement so id have to find a way to make money.

>>4446052
why do they have bags on their heads?

Keeps the flys from bugging them. I have seen em roll on the ground to deal with em.

>>4446054
>>4446057
I would try to capture some spooky horror shots from it. Night time shot, blind horses, unsettling fields stretching out into darkness. There's something there.

>>4445766
streaks of stars can look really kino against a silhouette

>>4445786
this tells me you love photography
godspeed anon

>>4446017
why not?

>>4446091
It just feels awkward.

>>4446085
Its possible when the moon is out. Here is them grooming (or horse rituals) on the iPhone.

>>4446119
If you have a flashlight that would be kino

>>4446120
Ill have to use one next time. At that point i was kind of deep in the beers and petting the gray and white one. He is super social. The three females will come up if you have food and once its gone they trot off in a pack. Typical.

>>4445477

There was no smell, we're all 40 year olds with careers now, the only smell was the BBQ and burgers being cooked out back.

>>4446129
Based unc

>>4446088
My max exposure time available is 32 seconds. That's long enough for a small steak, but not like some of the ones I've seen where the streaks take up a large portion of the sky.

This is a 32 second exposure, which, admittedly was more than I realized stars moved in such a short time.

>>4446090
Honestly, I'd have to disagree. Photography isn't really something I don't super enjoyable, but it's more just something that I do so I have something to put my mind towards instead of creative ways to sewer slide.

>>4446131

>you will never go 50-0 in Instagib CTF and walk out back to grab a burger fresh off the grill cooked by Army vets who were in the shit and killed Communists

NGL it was pretty comfy, VFW put on a good venue for us this year.

>>4446132
>A small streak*

>I find super enjoyable*

God damnit.

>>4446095
>awkward is… le bad

>>4446132
your camera have bulb mode?
go five minutes on 100ISO at slowest aperture

>>4446132
>This is a 32 second exposure, which, admittedly was more than I realized stars moved in such a short time.
That’s how I felt when I took a long exposure of the moon. Fucker moved a couple hundred thousand kilometres in two minutes and fucked up my shot.

>>4446159
Damn, it looks like Asians' faces hurt to have

>>4446159

And no. My longest time to choose from is 32 seconds, that's it.

>>4446212
Thanks a lot. I feel like it’s successful for not trying too hard but still holding a lot of emotional impact. It’s also what I was going for on that street session bc I wanted to get some eye contact images over observer-candids that day. I’m happy about it.

>>4445703

Oh sick, I love black metal.

Crazy sunset out a couple days ago. Unfortunately I wasn't out shooting anything so I just snapshitted in my driveway

>>4446426
a rule of life is that beautiful sunsets only happen in walmart parking lots.nice snap.

>>4446428
Thanks anon. I'm grateful I got it at all

>>4446429
I've started to rely on those online sunset forecasters, and they are spot on so far.

>>4446432
Do you use one in particular? Maybe I should get on that

>>4446434

So far so good.

erm ackshually

Reprocessed this shot from 2018. It's one of my all time favorites.

>>4446470
cool shot, but i think it needs a crop and another edit. the clouds are extremely clipped.

Damn that 85mm was sharp.
Why did I sell that lens. Damn.

I'm also going through and re-editing old photos, just got Darktable and trying some things out.

>>4446435

>>4446471
I think you need a crop and an edit dipshit

>>4446475
cool shot MANG
>>4446473
I love old people’s faces, so many lines

I need someone to follow me around and beat me up everytime I shoot something in portrait.

Anybody else find street photography of people incredibly boring?

>>4446488
Sometimes it's more for the shooter. Depending on the subject matter it can be fun/daring/dangerous.

>>4446488
>>4446473
I took the photo of the old lady because she rammed past me at a crossing in Paris. I don't generally do "street".

>>4446497
hell yes dude

Never posted on /p/ before, just got back the results of my first reel of film from a Minolta Super A that I inherited years ago and just got around to using. Can I post here for critique, friendly or otherwise? I literally have no idea what I'm doing with settings etc., but after getting this reel back I get the appeal.

>>4446500
make a photo thread, youll get more traction

>>4446500
I'm not a photographer by any means; I'd like to better document my numerous hobbies and enjoy the feeling of getting something I find beautiful out of this old-ass camera from my late grandma who I never met

>>4446502
what's the camera? Looks pretty cool

>>4446501
Thank you, I'll do that. Hope to see you in there!

>>4446506
Thanks! Minolta Super A. It came with a slightly dry rotted leather sheath. Apparently it was my grandma's second husband's and he took it everywhere with him so it's worn. I got it when I was like 8 and remember opening it and fucking with the lens and every moving part inside so I'm glad it still works lol. I used Fujicolor 400 film.

>>4446495
I didn't even (you) you. It was more of a general statement.

I finally got this set edited. I'm not sure if I like taking this type of photo, but in this instance having a picture of the least masculine and angry modern woman is hilarious to me.

>>4446518
This screams Cali.

>>4446531

winner. That's Miami

Don't be shy to shoot street, the camera unironically has gotten me laid.

do certain photos give you the willies?
this one triggers me. have i stroke?

>>4446545
This drunk girl started talking to me at the restaurant I went to after a long day of shooting and she wanted to fuck.

>>4446550
I didn't take a picture of her lol. Here's a roller enby

Man this is making me realized that even photos that are mostly dark can look great, thanks

>>4446599
This is a cool watermelon van

>>4446642
Different iso.

And I love that van. I would make it my daily driver. But it's probably been sitting there longer than I've been alive, and it's sad. My mom said it used to be in parades.

the higher ISO is better
room for another stop
barely any noise
or carry a tripod
the machinery isn't going anywhere

>>4446660
I like the feeling of the picture, but I can't help being sad at how bad it is.

>>4446648
more contrast would be an improvement
cool van
go back and take more pics

>>4446662
I do carry one. I put my phone on it then use a Bluetooth mouse so I'm not shaking it.

I usually go for long exposures with 100 or 200 iso.

I've always wanted to see how fast the water actually rose.

>>he’d rather look at another building corner shot
>>he’d rather look at bricks
>>he’d rather look at cars
>>he’d rather shoot landscape
Yes.

>>4446574
Yes to all.

People are an uninteresting subject. Most of them look so similar you can lump them into a few archetypes. Their lives are not so different either. There are billions of them.

I feel for them, but none of them are the main characters of earth, and most of them are easy to dislike. I would rather look at dogs and cats because I might see some newish behavior, instead of just some jewish behavior.

>>4446478
did you leave your monitor on default settings or something?

>>4446777

>>4446794
Bravo

does composition matter

>>4446847
Not when u got mighty gazongas in the frame!

>>4446849
well, composition still matters here, they could be fronter and centerer and bigger

>>4446847
This is why I dislike 90% of street. Crooked snapshit of boring people doing nothing interesting

>>4446863
This could've been good if you got close to the stroller and framed it well.

>>4446882
Closer. The secret to not taking snapshits is to be willing to crouch down on get on the subjects level.

>>4446883
i will return tomorrow and try again. hopefully the occupant doesn't move their stash.

>>4446885
You can do it

Imagine living here

>>4446872
Crazy lashes on that deer. Is this IR? I’m on a photography adventure and can’t process more IR for a week or so.

I am a sucker for compositions with shadows that contrast. The boulder shadow caught my eye, jarring next to the soft cloud shadows on the water.

>>4446932
>>4446934
I took something similar last night. Noticed a rather red moon from my balcony and went to chase it. Took this from some industrial parking lot, with Olympus E500 since I lack any telephoto for "better" cameras. Too bad the options for composition were rather limited, and the moon could only be shot through a narrow gap in the treeline.

>>4446958
I think this looks really nice. Give me a certain familiar vibe

>>4446848
I really like the two aligned birds

>>4446958
Nice shot, and a better edit than mine

This lady wasn’t happy with me

Ladies and gents, we're off the archives. Enjoy the flight.

>>4447194

kino shot

>>4447043
The vignetting is a little strange. Seems strong and feels like it's only pulling highlights down rather than everything. It makes the edges seem flat rather than dark. It's having the opposite effect a vignette should have on me.

>>4447197
>>4447241
