Been getting back into film recently. Trying to ascertain the condition of this guy >>4463190

idk it's just fun.

I got some stuff on my other camera I haven't pulled off yet. the lab also has a roll of expired film. found another one that's been shot but not developed. then they'll get the roll that's in the above camera as well when I can finish it. They're a bit slow but it's OK. small local place. real mom and pop feel.

tried to use d5600 at night it might be over for me

>>4460789
Goddamn this is cool
>>4460728
I like the framing and colors, nice job
>>4460575
Atmospheric, great
>>4460939
Lovely

>>4463242
Based D5600 enjoyer. You can get good night photos but you'll want a prime lens on it. I'd also argue you made that image overexposed and made it look more like a phone HDR photo than a true night photo. Lower the exposure by 1 stop and it'll look better.

>>4460524

here i come again correcting the scans
it can literally be done with a click or two
i will probably never understand why youd shoot film and then just leave the files all.. flat and green

Sony has some nice greens

>>4463470
This one is good, I would remove the leash though; the first one is meh.

>>4463480
What makes you say Sony?
>>4463484
Always better without the leash, but not always an option

>>4463479
No way this is recent unless you haven't taken a photo for a year.

Money down this was shot on fuji.

Why?

>>4463880
Joke's on you, poorfag, it was shot on a Leica with a Leica-brand lens.

>>4460437 (OP)
What's more suitable for photographing a protest: 18-35mm or 50-135mm?

>>4463930
50-135mm would definitely be safer, but then you'd miss out on those kino wide angle mid-chaos shots.

reclaim it

>>4463985
Framing tips? I couldn't get closer with my 45mm M4/3 without scaring them off the log :(

Would a CPL filter help me with glossy car photos? I like the shine but it caused glare at a lot of angles. I'd like to shoot some car shows

>>4463985
>>4463987
>>4463988
Bekfast

>>4463988
Yes definitely get a cpl for cars unless you want a flare effect. Alternatively underexpose 1/2 a stop and bump it back up in post as needed.

>>4463988
CPL is almost absolutely necessary for cartography. But you gotta remember you need to get the angle from the light (sun normally) at 90* or close to it and also rotate the filter as you change your positioning. A bit of work but you get used to it and it's worth it.

Please don't buy the shittiest CPL if you're using anything longer than a 50mm; we've had several anons show that the bottom-barrel filters will make your photos look like smeary shit because of the sub-optimal glass. i.e. don't slap a $8 amazon CPL on a $300 lens and expect it to hold water.

Was kind of trying something but didn't love the overall composition. Any opinions?

>>4463930
Depends on your goal. Scale of the event or individual moments, also as the other anon said safety.

i hate image limits

>>4464058
noice instinct, Mayenne

>>4464066
I’m indifferent to it as-is but perhaps if you were *much* closer to that guy the composition would be more compelling, more interesting. All the buildings in the background would ideally stay in the same perspective but if you were closer to him and he filled more of the frame on the right-hand side he would also seem “larger-than-life,” like another building dominating the landscape. Talk is cheap, though.

>>4463948
>>4464073
I went with the 18-35mm. I suppose it’ll be better for taking photos on tight city streets. Turns out, though, that SDXC cards are not compatible with the K10D. Neat!

>$300 lens
I did not ask for this mental Jenna flashback, but I thank you nonetheless.

>>4464091
the one below (>>4463979) is Pornic, southern Bretagne to some extent, which is interesting aesthetically, as soon as you cross south of the Loire the roofs are usually tiled and not slated but it's a bastard zone where you can have both (as in pic related (pic of myself taken by the sis))

>>4464096
I've visited many areas in my country but Vendée is one of the few I haven't set foot in. Looks much less interesting for photography than Bretagne, marais poitevin could be a cool place though. Have you tried taking photos of Vendée?

>>4464103
>Have you tried taking photos of Vendée?
unfortunately not with good gear (fucking iPhone 5 SE) but I plan to revisit the "Port du Collet" at the northernmost frontier of vendée in Bouin, in the middle of a zone called the "Marais Breton" (counterintuitively), it's so photogenic you have no idea

>>4464214
no shit, they’re flatland marine swamps, there’s beauty in a dull muddy flatland, it’s your role to find it

>>4464229
What I mean is that flatlands offer way less interesting perspectives for landscape photography and hiking in general. Not my cup of tea, it made me feel a quite unsatisfied when I lived in the northwest.

Nice! I took a similar shot today.

fucking around with lightroom...

Here's the fucking problem with 99% of the photographer. Let's analyze this

>>4463494
>>4463496
>>4463497
>>4463499
>>4463501

Style, light, atmosphere is really nice and you can sense something is going on but it never pays off. Photographer will wake up next day and forget about this consistency and building it into an organism to say something. They leave it in something because they don't think about their photography. They don't even take their own work seriously.

All you faggots give me blue balls. Fucking tell a story, shit out a project for fuck's sake.

SAY SOMETHING WITH YOUR PHOTOS FAGGOTS

>>4464812
A guy got really mad at me for doing that once. He said I was blogposting and "taking over" the entire thread that had like 80 other posted pictures that werent mine.

>>4464812
I posted my project thread but I guess it was boring

>>4464821
You should make your own threads. These generals are cancer anyway

>>4464822
Which thread?

>>4464823
Im working on it. I want to get like 30 solid pics/prints before I make one. It takes me a very long time because I only take one or two pictures a day, and maybe only 2 or 3 would be thread worthy per week if that.
It's simply the nature of the beast.

>>4464824
Good shit anon.

Do you also make photobook dummies with those prints?

>>4464826
I like to frame some to put on my wall and the others go in my prints box.

>>4464828
I would suggest you to make photobook dummies or make a diy zine and if you have some audience sell it on insta.

Projects work the best in book form.

>>4464823
>>4464095

>>4464829
I would probably do something like that, but most of the stuff I do doesn't really have enough coherency to make a book out of it. I have some photos that would work well as small series, but not much more than that.
I suppose eventually I could do a small book, but I imagine it would take a very long time.

>>4464814
that's my kinda photo

Self publishing is for losers

>>4464862
So is posting on 4chan

>>4464856
I don't get it

>>4464862
this isnt a loser board though.
mosr of the people here go outside and have lives

>>4464939
and this hobby is heavily gatekept via having to actually participate in it in order to even talk about it.
You cant talk about photography lingo without actually doing the hobby.
Similar vein as /xs/ cant talk about martial arts without doing martial arts.
Only irl boards i can think of that are the polar opposite are /out/ and /fit:

>>4464941
Irl boards like /p/ do attract losers though but luckily they get filtered out when they realize that this hobby isnt going to make them rich or get them laid

>>4464866
Posting on 4chan is for everyone. Self publishing is for people who haven't been able to convince any publisher their material is desirable. It's like failing to convince anyone you're desirable so you hire whores to feel better about yourself.

>>4465044
publishers are people. often liberal retards who couldnt make it in a real career and had daddy buy them an easy one. why waste time on them?

>>4465044
I’m against self publishing and posting on 4chan. Both are a waste of time and resources.

>>4465044
I say this with utmost contempt and sincerity
Kill yourself, you waste of meat

>>4465066
It's just "fun" to post/share pics even if it isn't really that fun. I think my pics upset some people also, so it is fun.

>>4465072
>when the photos aren't literal 11/10s
>when the posts don't conform to my narrow band description of art
>when the poster uses [gear]
I think most faggots here forget photography is a hobby first and a job/art in a minor amount of cases. Post your photos, have fun, and most of all, don't feed the trolls.

Man, I love high dynamic range sensors. This was basically black, exposing for the sun.

>>4465075

>>4465127
>>4465132
The fact that the basic tools are needed to be able to even learn the art obviously evades you. The self-published book is basically mental masturbation much like degrees from a diploma mill or bought trophies, things losers buy to cope with their own failure. They sent the photos to publishers and got rejected, they went to college and flunked everything, they tried to compete in sports and weren't even picked for a team because they were so bad. So now they buy their little pathetic consolation prize. They pay to get that photo book or that zine published, and they're content with the courtesy compliments they get.

>>4465133
I said posting on 4chan is for everyone unlike self publishing which is for losers

>>4465135
You fried your brain seeking validation from other people.

>>4465135
Honestly dude, I'll keep this short

You have narcissistic personality disorder and an inferiority complex.

You are not a sane, healthy person. You are a vile and unlikable little shit stewing in self hatred and entitlement who spends his days making up people to get mad at because he simultaneously despises himself and wants to be better than other people.

/End.

Don't bother replying. I wont reciprocate.

>>4465163
Did you know someone who self-published and made you look bad or something? You've had it on your mind since >>4464862, where you almost seemed to feel threatened.

people that dont contribute anything and screech instead are the actual losers

>>4465173
Extreme losers, like promiscuous homosexuals, zoophiles, furries, and pedophiles have a deep set drive to desperately lash out and try as hard as possible to hurt people who they know are objectively better off than they are.

>>4465179
Some stereotypes refuse to die for a reason, I suppose.

>more loser cope
Let me guess, you're self-published.
It's the same cope as that Mikey Cyrus song about buying flowers to herself. The merit in flowers or getting published is that you were judged as worthy by someone other than yourself. In case of publishers, by an authority on whatever discipline who is the arbiter of what his publishing house is wise to spend resources on. The self publishing circlejerk isn't exclusive to photos, there are hundreds of amazon print on demand authors who don't sell a single copy of their drivel.

>>4465259
no1curr

I just like the little magazine I made and my gf thinks its cool too so you can keep typing away but your need for external validation isn't shared by everyone here. some people just like doing stuff to do it and see the result (which is that they did it)

>>4465267
I have sold a few of my egg still lifes to strangers, but I get more enjoyment from seeing them hung up on my walls. It did feel pretty good to see someone get really excited about my egg art and then give me money for one.

>>4465259
How you type this argument implies that you only value photography if the person taking the photos is making money from them. That's basically nobody here. You imply that anybody that self-published failed to garner any attention from a publisher. I would imagine that most people that self-publish small runs of work never even sent any photos at all to a publisher for evaluation. Why would I care what a publisher thinks if I'm not seeking their money? Why should I care what you think if you aren't giving me money for my work and that is your metric of value? I would rather create the art that I want to have made and share it with interested parties without having to deal with your inane bullshit or that of a publisher. Shoot, print, share. It's not that hard to understand.

I once again implore you to end your life with haste.

>>4465259
>How can your photography be good if it hasn't been OK'd by the libtard nepobaby in charge?
Your entire spiel is just the very first logical fallacy they teach in college. So much for the educated left!
(Then again... back when the educated left was a meme and the hot topic of every propaganda article, *I* was the educated left.)
I do not value the opinions of publishers. They are false authority. No authority - not ONE - is a necessary logical good. You can make much more money many other ways with photography if that's all you care about. If you just want fame, well, grow up, bitch.

Protip: Publishers are often behind two things. One is the curve. Two is the ass of their next star. Don't be a sellout.

>>4465267

She's pretending it's cool out of courtesy, sorry to break it to you. Also that's external.

>>4465286

What's it like being the projectiest projector to ever project a projection on /p/? Interacting with you must be like talking to a possessed child from a shitty exorcism movie.

Christ will forgive you, my child. I pray that you will see the light of the Lord someday.

>>4465286
You're not doing any favors for yourself.

>>4465281
It's not about money, it's about something meriting publication.

>>4465278
It's not about making money, is about someone other than yourself (therefore somewhat free of the bias one has towards their own creations) considering your photos are worth the cost of printing them.
>>4465281
I like how you assume if your stuff isn't deemed worthy then it must be because every publisher is a worthless nepobaby and not because it sucks. Everyone is the problem but you. Ironic.

>>4465427
>photography publisher opinions
>worth-determining
It is such a non profitable field that you're exclusively dealing with nepotism beneficiaries

Self publish, self promote, and hope the people are on your side

>>4465436
Because it's not their own work they're judging, therefore they are more objective than the author of said work.

>>4465468
Sounds like more cope. The only reason to self publish would be dissident art.

>>4465676
Almost all art is dissident when everything to the right of being an ethnomasochist communist is labeled fascist

>>4466105
nice dogwhistling you fucking nazi.
we don't need to label dogshit art as fascist when we can just label it as dogshit. it's all anyone needs to know about fascist "art"

>>4466107
Someone called my egg art "hitlerian". Should I self publish?

>>4466108
you should follow your leader and pull the trigger. and i'm not talking about the camera trigger

This anon is based. Listen and learn. The amount of seethe he is generating is amazing because what he is saying is true.

Here's the thing:

If you're really good then you will get published. And no amount of nepotism can stop that.

Never give up.

>>4466119
>If you're really good then you will get published. And no amount of nepotism can stop that.
If you are really good at working with publishers, but you're fighting a losing battle in an irrelevant circlejerk that's about 10 years from collapse.

>>4466131
I don't see the average guitar player paying a label to record a batch of some album.

>>4466133
yeah you have a point. music is actually merit based unlike irrelevant, dead "arts" like photography which is literally a zombie from the 70s.

>>4466135
Photography is no more and no less art than recording things with a microphone is. Aimless recording isn't art, but taking control of the sounds in the scene and recording them is.

>>4466131
>the point of playing guitar
No, it is like a man desiring to be on a label so he can publish his music and make a career. Yes, photographers at the top do have careers. Imagine hating people for having ambitions.

>an irrelevant circlejerk
Not irrelevant to me. I want to be a critically acclaimed photographer to achieve immortality. I care about photography.

>>4466135
>music is actually merit based unlike irrelevant, dead "arts" like photography
Nice cope. There are photographers who still sell 3000 copies of their photobooks and gain tons of recognition and money.

>>4466138
Photography is not based on merit, however.

>>4466133
They just post records themselves on YouTube or Bandcamp

>>4466140
Music is also not merit based. All of pop stars are industry plants. That doesn't mean shit. Art music still exists. Then there are clever pop stars like Charli XCX who find ways to penetrate into mainstream.

If you do good work and you know your audience then you will gather attention. An artist has to be sharp minded. Knowing how to market yourself is a key skill of being an artist. This lone wolf starving hermit artist is literal fiction. Nobody is coming to publish you. At. first you gotta make moves, network and market yourself.

>>4466141
>bandcamp
There is no such site for photobooks. Distribution of music is totally different from photography. Still new hotshot bands like Black Midi were signed with labels.

>>4466141
That's like having an Instagram, not printing a photobook

>>4466144
On bandcamp at least you can present your music in a dignified manner where you get your own page for an album and you can stylize the presentation of page and present everything in a structured manner.

>>4466107
How are you? How has your mental health been?
