Photography general

Any other lainons do photography for fun/profit? What 'genre' do you love to photograph the most.

I do it for profit. I like experimental mostly, but industry of course don't adopt this kind of thing. But I also like landscape and documentary. We could do a thread with anons photos... no? That would be interesting. I could take some pictures just to post here (I also already have to test some HDRMerge stuff and Rawtherapee, so...).

>>51 Avant-Garde photography? Got any examples?

>>52 I can't because people will use reverse image search and deanonymize me... but I could do something exclusive to this thread some time.

I do nature photography and nudes. Both are fun, but I wish I had a MILC or DSLR.

>>52 So I did something fast, more abstract... not really good, but you get it. Setup was a 600D with Cosina 100mm f/3.5, plus ND filter. The camera was with Magic Lantern firmware, so I set it to auto-bracket. Then I merged with HDRMerge. Then Rawtherapee (with Cinelog-C DCP). Then I got on photoshop to use some ImpulZ luts and the final touches. The classical glitches is from gimp/audacity workflow. I could have done it 100% on open source actually, idk why I didn't (I guess gimp is just boring for dodge/burn effects). I may do some more elaborated ones. ps. although probably no one will want to use it, licence is CC0, btw

>>54 You have a canon camera? If you have, see the CHDK page for your model. It may unlock RAW photos and auto-bracket. With these two features, plus a tripod, you can do really fuarrrking great images using HDRMerge. But you could also get an old used canon camera, such as the 550D. Tip: buy only the body. The lens you should buy manual lenses. I recommend Helios 44 + an M42-to-EOS adapter. If you're on USA, you probably can get this kid for about $300.

>>55 Some other photos. This one I did dual_iso on magic lantern and then processed with Hald CLUTs on rawtherapee.

>>57 and other abstract

>>58 "the old ducts seem old fashioned" - Brazil (1985)

>>59 And something less crazy... [Takumar 50/1.4]

>>56 A small canon powershoot from many years ago, yes. Thanks for the info about CHDK, I'm excited to have the possibility to make images without so many jpg artifacts. >$300 I'm not rich.

here ya go, some OC, I kinda wanna see what other people can do with this

>>62 Pretty. Reminds me to get into UV and IR sometime.

I do photography here and there. working on building a lifestyle brand merging tech and designer clothes and building a community of makers and artists so we can make some really schway stuff and make decentralized tech simple for the average user so we can get to web3.0 already. here's an old pic. do what you like with it

>>64 >working on building a lifestyle brand merging tech and designer clothes sounds terrible. why would you want to do something like that?

>>65 to inspire people to get more interested in technology and make money to use on funding the development of open source and decentralized software?

>>55 >>57 >>58 >>59 >>60 Some others...

>>67 this one was with hdrmerge+rawtherapee+impulz

>>68

>>69

>>70

>>55 >>57 >>58 >>59 >>60 >>67 >>68 >>69 >>70 >>71 By the way, it's all OC. The license is CC0 if you want to use it...

Hey mod, please move this thread to >>>/vis/

bump.

>>72 >CC0 Awesome. Some of these look super pro too. But remember, on an imageboard, copyright is ignored. It'd be used anyway.

>>166 yep (ノ^∇^)

>>69 holy hdr batman

>>201 Yeah, that's with a low-end Canon 600D... magic lantern dual_iso + rawtherapee rocks!

Found this and photoed it. Seems like it might be a neat album art, if I ever make anything of that nature

>>232 that might not have been an entirely positive comment. looks like a tad too high of a range on it. If you're combining photos try just 1/3 stop up and down and see how it comes out. HDR needs to be subtle to work really well. pic related is a soykafty unprocessed photo from Iceland hope it's okay

I do the odd bit of photography. Landscape, Nature, and Architecture. I like playing with the pics in GIMP and Audacity. Some OC. This time not breaking the file limit rules.

>>64 sign me the fuarrrk up mhmmm mhmmm

>>276 good soykaf

i took this one with my phone, i have more around.

>>684 call me capitan crunch please :3

>>685 in the second photo in the corner is my thumb...

>>689 Good ones men!

I have a Kodak Z990 I'm only just starting to use. Reading about f-stops and film speed for lighting conditions, or whether to use RAW or JPG formats turns my head, it's confusing.

>>701 It's not complex, it's actually pretty simple. Analog photography work by burning silver on the film. Digital photography works by receiving electric signals on the sensor. You have 3 forms of light control on photography: 1- Lens Aperture 2- Shutter Speed 3- Sensibility (ISO) That means: 1- How many light will pass through your lens to reach your sensor or film. The more you open your lens (diaphragm), more light will come, but also less depth of field (this "bokeh" effect, search for this keyword and you'll understand what I'm saying). It is controlled by a number, called f-stop. Most normal lenses have average of 3.0 of aperture (that is, how much light your less pass). To get the background without focus, you need a "faster lens", about 1.8 or less of f-stop. I suggest you keep always the lens wide-open, unless you're doing landscape. 2- How many time your photo will expose your sensor or film to light. The more time you let it expose, the more your photo will have light. But it also generates motion blur. It's measured by divisions of one second, for example, 1/50. I suggest you always (except on landscape or artistic effects) use the same size of your lens, so, if you're using a 50mm lens, you should use at least 1/50 to achieve an still photo. If you're using an 200mm lens, you should use at least 1/200 of shutter speed. 3- The sensibility is how capable your media is in capturing light. For example, on film it's the sensibility of the silver. Now, you have to understand a concept called SNR (Signal to Noise ratio). Every signal has an noise. The more you amplify the sensibility, the more you'll get interference (noise). On photography is the same: the more ISO (sensibility), the more noise you'll, but it will also get you more light. I suggest you set your lens to maximum aperture, the shutter speed to the size of your lens, and then (the last config), set the ISO. This way you'll get you the best image, with the least noise as possible. You don't have to worry too much. The suggestions I did above is the same I use for at least 5 years working (professionally) with photography. When you get this 'triangle' of configurations, you'll do it automatically, you'll see. >RAW or JPG? Aways use RAW. I suggest you use a software called Rawtherapee to process it.

Yes, all analogue photography. I usually do landscape stuff, but because where I live is generally uninteresting, I don't actually do photography all that much. It's very on/off. It keeps me from getting better, but not much you can do living where I do.

I made this.

I actually made a photo essay with a few of my photos, I'll link it for you guys. http://interfa.su/article/25/

>>906 I like the style and themes but damn is it depressing.

>>868 New ammo for my screen saver, thanks.

>>907 I can see why you think that, when it comes to understanding the nature of our lives, in my experience, it always falls one of two ways "we can't do anything about it because they'd never let us" or "you are the change you want to see in the world". This essay was put together in the midst of my own crisis when I managed to understand the western world as a simulation. Keep in mind, I'm not referring to the universe simulation theory, but rather that the western world is a bubble, with illusory walls, that keep us from truly understanding the damage that our quality of life inflicts on the quality of life of the majority of the rest of the world - the simulation describes the neo-liberal global-capitalist system that victimizes the many, for the benefit of the few, while keeping the few distracted and suggestible. All of us here are accomplices to these injustices so long as we live in North America and are not actively resisting it. Which is why resistance occurs with vegans or anarchists and etc. It's why I make work that directly supports local and national business, because I can't ethically (or according to my own moral code) condone practices that victimize people for my personal comfort, but I also acknowledge that the system is so far reachingly abused and ubiquitous, that to try and avoid it would be fruitless. So I do what I can, to show that a global capitalist system does not have to be extortionary and victimizing. I don't have a problem with capitalism - I have a problem with zero regulation and the harm being done to others.

>>910 I like your point of view. I think that finding a way of living that does less harm is a good way of doing so.

>>50 Only when I travel. This one is from Antigua Guatemala's cathedral ruins.

>>958 Also Bacalar's Fort in México

Unlike many others lainon, my photography is essentially news/reporting. Which means that I often work in conditions where you rarely have time to try many configurations and angles before taking a picture. Which is good because I'm far from knowledgeable in this domain, and even worst in postprod. My aim is to get informational pictures, compared to the more "aesthetic" ones. I use this comparison, even though I'm sure we'll agree that both are important and there aren't any real opposition. But I try from time to time to take some funnier pictures and experiment around.

>>701 Here's another pic to illustrate the bokeh effect and the parameters >>702 explained pretty well. You can check the exif to seewhat parameters I used to take this pic in a rather dark place, and the blur that allows me to extract a single element from its environment.

Just nature photography. I got about 10GB that i need to sort trough, i got lots of redundant photos.

>>1179 They're humming.

I love photography. It's very satisfying when something turns out good. Normally use a Canon T5 but I took these on my phone.

Photography + Photoshops for fun and profit.

I take this with smartphone, I want to start to take photos but I do not have the money to buy a camera,so for now this is it

>>1592 These are really good, lainon! Especially dig the first one and how saturated, yet natural that shade of green looks. What phone do you use?

>>1618 Thanks for the compliment! Currently use an iphone 7. I use Lightroom to shoot in RAW. It's pretty great for when I forget/don't want to take my DSLR with me.

I'm interested in starting photography as a hobby, but I don't know anything about cameras, settings, and so on. Can anyone recommend some guides/resources/books to get started? Thanks.

>>1669 you can find ideas for what to buy at http://kit.com

I wish I had money for a good camera.

eh? I never really post my photography on the internet.

I'm learning black and white 35mm film photography. Still figuring the mechanical side of lighting and how to frame the things I shoot. After I feel I've got the basics of shooting, I plan to buy the equipment for developing the film and pictures at home.
