Hot summer here!

Had a zine printed of my black and white street. I don’t know what I’m trying to do really but I’m tired of seeing my photos on a screen only. Guess it’s a step in trying to legitimize my stuff, I feel like I’m the only one in the area that does what I do and that’s gotta count for something.

>>4452935
One of Ken's disciples. He was right. Fuji has the best color and the sharpest lenses.

> The Fuji XF 27/2.8 is super sharp.
It's always super sharp throughout almost all of the image at every aperture.
There are no better lenses to use on the Fuji system at any price. Forget slumming with LEICA or other off-brand lenses and adapters; you can't get anything sharper and any other lens won't autofocus or autoexpose or log data or be optimized by the camera's DSP, and no other lens will have a diaphragm that opens and closes automatically as needed for focus and shooting.

>>4452932
Yeah good idea! Eggtography is basically dogtography in an eggshell.

>>4453070
Ruined by failing to rotate.

>>4453080
Yeah not sure what happened there

>>4453082
r u uploading from your foan? if so, crop a bee’s dick off yr portrait images and it won’t rotate

>>4452973
No one has ever posted a good original egg photo on /p/. Ever. It’s uncharted territory.

>>4452934
>>4452936
What phone is this?

>>4453133
You have poor taste in egg photography and we all know you will NEVER post egg.

>>4453134
Yer mom's

>>4453137
There has never been a good egg photo on /p/. But,

If huskyfag posts egg, yours will probably become the best ever to be posted on /p/.

>>4453140
Like I said you have terrible taste in eggtography. It's quite sad, really.
The bar has been set very high with my egg still life and egg in hand image.

You will not take egg pictures because you know you cannot compete with a real eggtographer like myself. This is also quite sad.

>>4453101
From my computer. Appears correctly in everything else I open it with. Had two more I wanted to upload but now I'm scared

>>4453146
I've seen this happen on photos taken in the "wrong" portrait orientation with an X100V. IIRC, I had to mess with the exif and set some parameter to something like 270 instead of -90 for this poor man's website to recognize that the photo needs to be rotated.

>>4452941
What's with the dutch angle on this one? Doesn't feel like it adds much, and is distracting
>>4452990
The colors on this one are great, I feel like it might benefit from a bit of a tighter crop though?
>>4453050
Most of this image is a bit of a blurry mess, I feel like it would look much better if taken off a tripod with a more closed aperture and much faster shutter
>>4452556
Easily best of this thread so far, cool shot

>>4453147
Thank you sir. Finally figured it out

>>4453180
Nice, glad I could help.

Aww shucks. Thanks fellas

>>4453148
Man thanks so much you replied to two of my photos that are very different (black and white street photo of salute and level 7 stairs)

Also really dig yours as I’m into landscapes as well and headed to the smoky mountains in a couple months hoping to get some stuff like that. It’s cool when good photographers can share and enjoy our stuff.

I’ll look into a tighter crop but here’s a photo from a closer perspective I enjoyed.

>I feel like it would look much better if taken off a tripod with a more closed aperture and much faster shutter
Sadly I was already at 400 ISO at 1/30 sec. and f/2.8. Getting the car sharp on a stationary shot would have been pushing the ISO to 51200.

Ridiculous saturation levels

>>4453475
iso 400 isn't that much. The other anon has a point. The car is like 3% of the image and everything else is really blurry. I would suggest f5.6 at iso 1600. Brace the camera against your knee or something if you don't have ibis or a tripod

luv my Rollei

>>4453519
It's blurry mostly because of the shutter speed, I'd be pushing close to 1/1000 to get both the car and background sharp. So 1/1000 sec, f/5.6 but realistically f/8 would be better. That's push me into that 25600-51200 bracket. The shot realistically ain't working in those conditions without something looking like shit.

>>4453526
it's blurry for both reasons. That's why I'm saying you could try bracing the camera somehow if you don't want to have crazy iso. You can also brace with a standard neck strap by pulling the strap taught by pushing the camera away from you while the strap is around your neck.
Obviously I could tell you to just buy a camera with stabilization or carry a tripod. Just trying to give you some low cost ideas

>>4453589
It's not a bracing/stabilization issue, it's a moving object issue. Either the car is sharp, the background is sharp, or if I want both sharp I need to run a far higher shutter speed so following the car is a moot point. Which means cranking up the ISO to compensate due to the low light.

>>4453519
>The car is like 3% of the image and everything else is really blurry.
That is the nature of panning shots, anon.
>>4453596
The real answer is changing the shot. Use a longer lens, crop tighter or shoot at a time with more light.

angles or something

Bit of street

Idiot move and forgot to put an SD card in my camera so used girlfriend’s R50 for this photo walk. No post editing, everything done in camera, can’t be assed to get the RAW from her camera so you’re getting the jpeg she sent me over WhatsApp. So enjoy the oversaturation etc.

Yippie

>>4453733
I think I like this more than if you had dropped the saturation, the colors are nice. It's a lot but it's not too much.

>>4453777
>>4453773
Have you considered using high saturation slide film for these?

thanks anon I've never gotten a response before I have been taking freediving cavern pics for over a year now almost every day.

I couldn't quite turn this scene into a good photo. None of my shots spark joy looking at them collectively.

>>4452932
Here's the egg photo

I think it needs more saturation, sharpness, and contrast. Yeah.

>>4453710

>>4453963
>>4453964
Based. Aperture controls how much is in focus. Look up the exposure triangle and understand what shutter speed, aperture, and iso all do to influence an image.

Egg pics when?

>>4453964
Get the WHOLE dog in the frame or almost no dog in the frame. Google portrait framing guidelines. Google rule of thirds. Get lower. POV bad. Presentation good. Stop composing around focus points. Use af-s/s-af and then frame without moving forwards or backwards.

Follow this advice and you will magically take better photos than the other black and tan dog guy.

>>4453971
If someone mentions doghair or german shepherd guy in a negative way you should take their advice with a large grain of salt. They're extremely salty that my egg and dog pics are so powerful.

>>4453974
Wow, extremely cringe dumb and obsessed. Salt makes things taste better! That means its great advice, dummy!

>>4453980
Fair point about seasoning your food. Are you a chef or something? You should post some of your food photography.

Oh wait it's gone! I guess it wasn't so sweet after all! Lool.

>>4453967
Correct me if im wrong.

>aperture
depth of field, lower f is blurrier but good for portraits.

>shutter speed
Fast = freeze action, slow = blur.

>ISO
Higher ISO = brighter but added grain.

>egg pics
I will show you something nice with my Australorps (nig-birds) and their egg babies.

>>4453968
>get the WHOLE dog
Yeah I think I'll commit to a framing style when I take a more serious pic and not a snapshot.

>portrait framing guidelines
Cool, so rule of thirds and avoiding cropping joints.

>get lower
Agreed, again ill try with more serious shots.

>stop composing around focal points
AF-S is single focus? Should I be in MF to lock it in?

>reframe without moving forward or backward
Idk what this means, guess ill have to learn a little more.

sorry I deleted my previous reply, I want to put some thought into these comments

>>4453982
Correct. Shutter speed also reduces camera shake, which makes it easier to take non-blurry pictures. You should play around with all the manual settings to get a feel for what they do.

>>4453980
Wait nvm. I thought the nerd that deleted his post but it was the based and fledgling pilled dogtographer. My B.

How quintuple dog DARE YOU post a dog that is not fully in frame or almost fully out of frame? You simply must follow MY rules of proper and good dog photography or else you will never become anything more than a lowly snapshitter! REEEE

>Aperture
Depth of field, but also sharpness improves and optical aberrations reduce until the diffraction limited aperture (typically f5.6 f8 or f11 depending on the camera) at which point the image becomes progressively lower resolution
>Shutter speed
Fast=freeze action but also if something is going very fast consider this
https://improvephotography.com/44172/focal-plane-shutter-affects-photos/
>ISO
What ISO actually does depends on the specific camera model and literal essays have been written about it. On very good cameras, there are only two actual ISOs and the rest are just brightness. On meh cameras every ISO is speshul and changes a bunch of stuff. Delve into photographic dynamic range, expose to the right, shadow improvement curves, and sensor analysis if you dare.
>AF-S is single focus?
He refers to single focus not continuous focus, yeah, it's called focus and recompose, a technique for getting more creatively framed static shots out of limited focusing systems typical to SLRs and rangefinders. MF is for, well, turning the focus ring manually.

Great shot. Actual street photography and not back of heads on /p/ this can't be real.

that's a street portrait not street photography

>>4454028
welcome to digital photography. monitors vary widely.

the only thing that really matters is if it looks good when you print it out or look at it on a typical smartphone or mac because those displays are closer to the common standard than peoples gaming and video editing PCs or rajesh's 720p thinkpad

>>4454031
>that's a street portrait not street photography
explain the difference without using subjective terms like "feeling"

>>4454034
Most people browse 4chan on a lenovo thinkpad, so it may be a good idea to create a seperate version of your pictures just for posting here.

>>4453964
Got some epic foreground going on here.

I use a combo of my iPhone and iPad. Pics look good, great even. I won't be putting much thought into this desu.

>>4454038
A street portrait is portraiture of a drug addict. You ask the person to take a portrait and they look into the camera. Not much different than a studio portrait. Street photography is usually more candid and aims to capture what it's like to be there or people just going about their lives

>>4454043
what if that dude is what it's like to be there and just going about his life?

>>4454044
It's portraiture if you asked him to pose for a picture. It's street if you catch him shooting fent

>>4454045
your distinction seems artificial and subjectively arbitrary

>>4454046
it's really not. Sounds like you're mad because you don't know what things are. Portraiture is portraiture.

Thanks man. Yeah too many photos of peoples backs is no bueno and killing the genre. And that other guy is just wrong, I’m very upfront about when I do street portraits and that was street photography. I’ve been actually going for more eye contact images recently which doesn’t change it to a portrait. The guy was fucking saluting the air or the baseball stadium or the cybertruck I dunno. I didn’t ask. I walked up to him, he looked at me, I took his photo. It doesn’t matter anyway the two genres are not harshly defined and they blend into each other.

Pic related: they are pointing at that no photo retard who thinks he is the authority on my work

>>4454089
What a plot twist. I assumed this was a holly forest full of missletoes and snowy moss. Then I saw it. Signs of witchcraft and possible rituals.

>>4454099

>>4454100
I keep mistaking the forest for the trees. Tricky bastards always get me.

>>4454110
Center framed,sort of awkward framing angle, and devastatingly blown out highlights.

semi recent

>>4454110
Well framed, sociable framing angle, and delicately constructed highlights.

>>4454098
Precisely. In my pic above I didn't ask this guy to pose he just looked at me when i was taking his photo.
>>4454029
Street can happen in a way that it looks like portraiture if you work to get there. Too many people on this board think street is just back of heads because otherwise it must be staged, since interacting with strangers is so daunting.

What size did you print the zine at?

>>4454117
Awesome reflection off the goggles. Can't wait for ski season.

>>4454031
If I didn't ask this guy to pose, he just saw me taking a photo and did this, is it street or portrait?

>>4454125
I would say yes because it's a portrait. Maybe you didn't ask him in words but he decided to pose for you

Don't say this.
>>4454145
The higher contrast works well here. On camera flash? Or some light source right over your shoulder. It looks better on black people. Looks like he's seen some shit.
>>4454156
Creamy bokeh, lighting on the snow is excellent, sun peaking on the tree line. This is a great shot.

>>4454201
>probably won't be sitting ringside anyway
Depending on how large the event is, you might be able to weasel your way ringside with a little smooth talking to the right people. Figure out who to contact, send an email, show up early, idk. It requires some improv and confidence. Lying through your teeth to get the shot you need is a valid photography skill. Like all skills, it requires practice.

that blue pool is nearly white, same as that gray concrete. ergo, that area is overexposed. try reducing the exposure or rein in the highlights using sliders, or adjust the tone curve. Other anons might have their own methods. I prefer to adjust the tone curve. The shadows are placed fine.

if I’m wrong and the reflections from the pool edge and concrete were accurately exposed, definitely confine yourself to shady areas or seek another time of day to photograph because that brightness is very harsh.

>>4454750
oh yeah, I forgot about clipping indicators. use them on bright images to check for overexposure.

>>4454756
yeah i usually hate overexposure, i just thought it looked kinda cool in this one
imo looks like a memory scene from a movie
thanks for the tips too

>>4454759
edit in a little bit of softness

>>4454759
>imo looks like a memory scene from a movie
yeah true, in that case you could go even further in this direction
more brightness, some desaturation, maybe a crop closer to the kids in the pool for a stronger nostalgic/childhood memory feeling
apply some contrast to the tones between the near-white/white areas and the midtones of the swimmers, make them stand out a bit more (if you try a crop). I usually do this with the second tone curve in RawTherapee, idek how to do it in other software.
when it's experimental all bets are off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
maybe some vignetting would make it feel "distant" in time as well. maybe black-and-white or a film sim even? could help evoke a "fading" feeling.
>>4444072

>What ISO actually does depends on the specific camera model and literal essays have been written about it.
It's next to impossible for me to understand what ISO actually does. It doesn't help that its name is based on film stock ratings and its most common comparison is with gain on amplifiers.
>Delve into photographic dynamic range, expose to the right, shadow improvement curves, and sensor analysis if you dare.
Gonna add colour spaces to this. Verifying that the colours coming from your camera, displaying on your screen and saving to your hard drive as a JPEG are the colours you want or even see can be like pulling on a thread and unravelling your entire shirt.
