Love the lighting, colours and framing. Would have been great if her outfit fit the scenery better

Despite being a blurry mess, I think it looks cool

Haha love it, anon. Very fun.

>>4474620
Are you kidding me bro? This is terrible.

>>4474578
This is the worst post-processing you could have possibly applied.
>sharpening halos all over the background
There's actually less detail in the feathers and wood grain than if you hadn't sharpened all the way to 100, and you didn't crop out the one-fifth of that post on the left-hand side. This is seriously so bad.
>>4474569
>still life but two-thirds of the props are out-of-focus
Congratulations, you're retarded. Shallow depth-of-field made your photo worse.
>>4474529
Good.

>>4474631
Danke.

Based Australian suburbia shot. Where's the V8 Ute though. Shoulda gone wider and got the whole house in frame.

Bruh these minis were shot at f/8 and look at this lack of DoF. Blah

>>4474709
Great shades of blue. The horizon and sky look very vast. Very nice shot even if it's "simple"

Trying out a surrealist color look

Does it look film enough

Can't tell if this horse is boring or not

Not sure where I was going with this one but I like that the mountains look fake

>>4474863
And I want to lick that sky gradient

>>4474842
This one is so good

>spent so much time farting around with focusing that I didn't realise my shutter speed was 1/80 until after I took the photo
Don't know if I like it or not. The lens flare is kinda neat but unintended.

>>4474842
It doesn't really look surreal to me, it looks like 98% of all modern Hollywood movies and everybody who wants the "film look"

>>4474856
I like this a lot. The image is pretty busy/messy, but I still like it.

>>4474842
Dude nice photo looks stunning btw how did you get that feel? And like what software did u use?

Times Square.
I wonder what New York would be like if it had remained Dutch.

>>4475027
>I wonder what New York would be like if it had remained Dutch.

Severely underdeveloped? The British used a lot of Empire wealth to develop the city after 1664, and it became a huge trade port and naval base. If the Dutch had held on to it it would have been a small trading hub and eventually folded into the British colonies anyway.

>>4475033
I'm not sure about severely underdeveloped. The Dutch Republic was incredibly wealthy, and even today the Netherlands is wealthier (per capita) than the United Kingdom by a significant margin.
The population may be smaller, but even then the location would guarantee a level of importance as a trading hub.
And the population may even grow more significantly considering the Huguenots, Flemish and various Low German peoples having the chance to move their.

>>4475041
The Dutch didn't tend to set up sizable colonies like the British and French did. Their interests were predominantly mercantile. They simply didn't have the Manpower to do it.

>>4475047
I noted that it didn't purely have to be settlers from the Dutch republic filling up this alternative New Amsterdam. There were plenty of disaffected protestants across parts of France, Flanders, and Germany. To be fair, there were also English dissidents who may have considered setting up colonies under the flag of Nieuw Nederland given the religious tolerance.
The passengers on the Mayflower did choose Leiden beforehand as their place of refuge.
I do understand that the interests of the Republic were largely mercantile, but that's part of the fun with alternate history, what if there was one colony which was different?

>>4475058
Paris?
Nice photo, did you edit with dehancer?

>>4475005
It works because it's a natural contrast we see in life every day. I much prefer that being overused than the horrific green/yellow shit that everything seems to be slathered with these days. That type of colour grading is like an attack on my eyes.

Good observation skills, anon. Yes, I took it in the suburbs of Paris and edited it with Dehancer.

muh colors

>>4475246
Cohencidentally, eggystein wrote those rules because he was insecure about his pentaxes low image quality. Also because aussies have slow internet and out of date computers. Not everyone can be america/japan/china and standardize 4k screens and gigabit fibre.

There’s a reason no one follows them lol

How do you get such a clean and sharp image?

I don't find my image to be particularly clean and sharp if that's what you're talking about. Actually I mostly apply negative clarity

thank you

I can't get people to just do what they do, they all move out of the way and apologize to me

I like to torture myself and shoot in Full Manual only.

>>4475688
...there are people on /p/ that don't use manual?

>>4475710
Full manual isn't really the go to. AV mode or M with Auto ISO is most common I'd say. I go with the latter and just have a dial for EV comp when needed.

>>4475710
My camera isn't ergonomic enough to do that on handheld so I just use aperture priority

>>4475688
Full manual isn’t torture but literally any other mode is for me. Manual is literally aperture priority, shutter priority and ISO priority all in one all the time. It’s only torture because you don’t know, I assume, how to decide which setting to change to increase or decrease the amount of light you get. Priority modes simplify your decision making. Program mode is when you decide before the fact what settings to use in certain lighting.

Honestly, manual just werkz. If I want to prioritise shutter speed, I can do that; if I want to prioritise aperture, I can do that. Just stop adjusting the wrong setting.

What I actually can’t decide on as my go-to is my focus mode: MF, AF-S or AF-C; centre point or 11-point? (I have an old DSLR). I think I need to go back to manual focussing for now, at least while I still have this camera. The AF on the K10D can lock on but still look very soft after the fact. I’m not sure if it needs an adjustment. I’ll need a cardboard thingo for that. Anyway, manual mode just werkz.

Black and white definitely worked here, it helps draw you more to the house while gently rolling away into shadow. I like it.

Why do you hate white people?

Omfg.....

Met this cutie in a city park, next to the abandoned section of the local apiary.
Which explains why she looks so well-groomed and well-fed, compared to all the other strays around.
Apiary's staff probably takes care of her.
Autumn really suits her colors.

>>4475976
The way id want to take that cat home

>>4475972
Karen is basically an anti-white slur

>>4475992
Are you serious?
I am a eurofag (white (kek)) but here Karen just stands for women who over estimate their role and influence in life, generally, and practice a rather harsh tone in conversations

>>4476000
Yeah but they chose a stereotypically white name for that

>>4476000
NTA but Karen in the US is used almost exclusively on whites.

>>4476010
that's because the non-white karens degrade themselves into lower tiers

>>4476010
>>4476003

So fucking what? It is a stereotype performed by almost white women only. I don't see the connection of that to be "anti white". It's just anti Karen.

I could say the same thing for black women with very huge asses that they shake around. I call them Latishass! And I may add, that I find this behaviour blunt and not sexy at all.

That then only counts for this specific behaviour which white ladies probably won't perform that often.
This has nothing to do with black people in general though, where surely at least some don't swing their asses this way. I never saw it in my country or in other euro countries at least.

Also fuck politics. Fuck your whiny bitchass rants that you call opinions. Fuck your white knights and your oveminorities. Fuck the narcissists. And fuck everything that is "politically correct".

New to photography ? learn to grade my man come to our club, we're better

example below:

>>4476111
is that grading i see ? lightroom or lightroom adjacent stuff ? ah i see you're not new to photography you're new to /p

>>4476116
it's just a crop and minor adjustments in lightroom, that does not make me an expert or anything

>>4476003
You're a sensitive little bitch

Autumn at last

>>4476109
>>4476113
I did some more agressive editing on the first image, but I'm not sure about the result
sure it might be more impactful, but beyond a certain point it's just fake shit right that has nothing to do with reality no?
one thing I definitely missed at first though is the lens profile correction

>>4476121
Getting your eye used to grading, finding nice balance in colors shadows contrast light etc takes a long time, just have fun with it. For me its about creating a real mood/atmosphere that the original pic lacked, i also like imitating movie grades, with some 1/2.35 ratios.
i think its really a useful skill

>>4476121
Here's an example of the stuff I try on my pictures, here i went for a blue dramatic look, a bit ominous, a blue green tint, less light, making the fog take more place in the picture, and some black bars which dont belong here but shows an example of what i would do sometimes

>>4476131
I like anon's pictures better, not convinced by your film filters especially for landscapes desu, I don't think they add anything interesting.
I think this photo mostly lacks a definite subject. If the cliffs were the subject I think I'd prefer a different perspective. If the foggy peaks were the subject I'd probably prefer reframing and keeping the upper part.

>>4476135
I think you’re retarded. The mountain is obviously the subject on account of it taking up nearly the whole frame.

>>4476135
Thanks for the feedback, i was trying to quickly get a grade done hoping to get his curiosity going, i was thinking its pretty hard to grade a wall of rock and fog haha. I have a better example with my process in the image i shared of the train station up there.

>>4476131
I tried some more edits, maybe a more menacing look suits the picture better?
also did 16:9 crop

I'll drop the raw in case anyone wants to play around
https://mega.nz/file/8xJjTBzC#VcnRPQHJZLvHQ8j3OX_qcCQ3HDJuPQqvbr4zHnJA4uc

>>4476136
Well then I don't think it has much going on to make it an interesting subject, the light is too flat imo

>>4476140
I actually agree, some side light would have made it much better imo, but I took what I could get
Pic related had much better light as the sun was setting

>>4476138
That's already awesome, you should mute the highlights tho, you''ll see it''ll make the picture way easier on the eye, you can see specks of light all over the mountain making it look like sandpaper
and here's my best case of why grading is cool:

>>4474514 (OP)
I love that picture so damn much!

>>4476142
Okay cool. Can you link a tutorial you would recommend?

>>4476202
pull the exposure way down but keep the highlights high. also green split tones/wb

Something something cathedrals

>>4476202
Since I use photoshop to grade my photos I never bothered to look up tutorials, but I'm sure there's awesome ones out there.
For the cinematic look I lower the exposure until I can still see something and have the highlights managable, i kill the highlights, try to have something not so blown out, try to get something that isnt white, or a new thing I found is lifting up the shadows and then bringing them back down in the curve option. Makes the shadows a bit more vibrant

Hey thanks!

>>4476294
I like it. Makes me question my perception. Many good pics in here. I am very insecure about my own photos, but I enjoy "making" them very much. It gives me a drive. And without a drive, life is a lie.

>>4475124
interesting rendering, very soft
lens?

>>4474842
it does work.
Looks like there is no depth in the picutre, more like a flat one.

>>4475120
This looks pretty dystopian.
You realy came close to your Sci/fi idea.

Wandering all life throug thicc red clouds with nothing else but a headlamp, pushed to keep walking by screaming sounds behind you.

true words here, i only shoot auto if it is not important, otherwise i take my time to make it a good one.

Sometimes the only Auto i use is AF..

I want to lie on the ground like the sign.
Resting a bit there.

I guess the exposure is good, the background is not of importance that much anyways.

Also: is that an Olympus Pen?
And how much interest do they exactly owe you? Hoping your pen works digitaly.

I wouldn't post anyone i even pretended to care about.
