Any lainons interested in photography? Have you felt burned out, and how you managed to win with it? I haven't made any good photos lately, and everything in my city seems so boring now, and everything looks the same.

>>3078 And I kinda fuarrrked up now, by posting image in full res.

Yes. I walk around with my phone. It's a good way to explore the city, interior and exterior.

i'm waiting for the winter to end so i can take long walks, explore and take some photos again actually, i bought my first camera a few months ago and had lots of fun with it, gonna experiment with some analogue photography next - maybe you should change your tools as well, lainon? it can work miracles sometimes

>>3085 I have both digital and film cameras, I would like to shoot film but I don't have money for it really :/

https://danielteolijr.wordpress.com/ This maniac has a lot of experience and tips for street photography, which sometimes gets dangerous the way he does it.

>>3088 That's a very weird photograph lainon...

>>3093 Hah, you should see the rest of his work. He actually has a pretty good article on self defence for the street photographer, he really does go to the skeeziest places for a shot.

>>3094 I need to browse this blog, don't have much time now

New photo from yesterday, today going for bike trip and shoot some more photos.

>>3087 yeah, i know, buy new film can really be a pain i n the ass; at least if you get film you could develop it on your own using coffee, it's the cheapest way i believe attaching random photo from last year, i have nothing more recent to post, still haven't developed my own films

>>3116 I'd still need a developing tank and stuff, that's worst.

>>3117 well, i don't know where do you live but i was able to buy cheap an old, used tank - it's not the most pleasant to use but it gets its job done maybe you should check local charity shops etc? or online auctions, idk, hope you have some luck, lainon, it's really pissing me off when someone can't continue their hobby bc of lack of funds

>>3119 I can get a tank online, but still need to have a little more money for all this stuff.

>>3078 OP here, ordered some digital prints today, will get them on Tuesday, can't wait how will it turn out. >>3098 is one of photos that will be printed.

I tried taking some /cyb/ pics in HK recently, anyone interested? I use a 16megapixel phone cam

>>3158 Nice photos lainon, I'd suggest scaling those images down a bit before sending tho.

>>3160 lainon should also use RAW and manually reduce noise thresholds during editing, especially for night shots.

>>3157 It was some days ago, but I got the prints. Looking great, I want to frame them and I'm thinking what type of frame should I use. Anything lainons recommend? Can be from China, send links then.

>>3078 >everything in my city seems so boring now, and everything looks the same Try to be more positive. You might be surprised what changing your attitude might do for you. Those are a few photos I took. Two of them were taken in my flat, and the third was taken about 20 min walk from my flat (a place I tend to be 2-3 times I week). Mind you this (the 2 photos with the film camera in it) wasn't made using photoshop but rather I used long exposure and a flashlight! Get creative, experiment and try to learn from pros. Also sometimes introducing restrictions in someway can make you think more creative. Google "pro photographer cheap camera challenge" (this is where I was inspired with the flashlight idea). This is also why I second the idea of >>3085, try film photography. Film as expensive as is forces you to think more about your shots and prevent you from going to triger happy. The sunset was taken using Fuji Color 200 film.

Did some film shots recently. Ultramax 400 was soykaftier than I expected it to be.

Took this today

>>3650 #WOW :) Can I use your photo with my temporary work-in-progress digital collage artwork?

>>3651 Sure, help yourself mate

>>3652 in-progress...

>>3087 It's too much of a hassle and digital cameras have caught up in quality for the most part I'd like to get a point and shoot camera when my phone croaks... maybe one with manual controls. I started out with a Pentax K1000 and film, it was great to nail a good photo. Phones don't give you the same freedom.

>>3655 Really cool stuff. The extent of what I do is just fuarrrking around with the settings on my phone (like with pic related) but I've always been really interested in warped, kind of messy images

>>5866 I can recognize all these plants. Is this Europe?

>>6227 Yes, Belgium

>>6234 The plant on the right side of the photo is invasive species - Reynoutria japonica. Kill it with fire.

>>6298 Those look great. Do you happen to take pictures of clouds often? I'd love to see more. There's a nice looking scud in the back.

>>6299 Unfortunately, I don't experience clouds like this often. Just happened to witness an approaching thunderstorm on the beach

I want to get into photography, mainly the more artsy variety. I want to do it just bc I find it interesting to do. pic rel isn't mine >>3078 That's a pretty nice photo, OP.

Winter soon.

Two of the only photos that survived my trip to the now demolished Fairview Training Center for the Feeble-Minded. I was there for a few hours and as I was leaving my phone fried the SD card and I lost everything. "Fairview was established in 1907 as the State Institution for the Feeble-Minded. The hospital opened on December 1, 1908 with 39 patients transferred from the Oregon State Hospital for the Insane"

>>6299 Not the same lainon, but I've really gotten into cloud photography this year

I took this on 2016, and it looks like it was 2007.

infrared

>>6814 These are really cool, lainon. Did you shoot these with phone camera then edited them?

>>6823 Nah, took an old camera (Olympus E-PL1) and removed the protective filter on the sensor. https://www.lifepixel.com/tutorials/infrared-diy-tutorials/olympus-e-pl1-ir But I didn't add the new filter, instead I screwed a filter on the lens, which only lets IR pass. Gives me the advantage of also screwing on filters for other IR wavelengths and maybe UV too. Moving the filter further away from the sensor diminishes the image quality tho. It's all about trade-offs. Pic related is the back of a TV remote, whose plastic can be penetrated by IR.

>>6829 That is legitimately awesome. I've already got a decent micro 4/3rds system, I really ought to pick up an older body or two and try this conversion. I've done the usual long-exposure-IR-filter stuff before, but it would be really cool do it with regular moving subjects.

found an abandoned radio station today, took some nice pics

>>6851

>>6851 >>6852 I love these, damn

>>6853 thanks lain! it's my first time really getting into photography. realized my phone has a good camera and i have some art experience so photography feels pretty intuitive for me. i think i'm gonna be getting more heavily into it because it's a lot of fun.

>>6854 Why didn't you climb it for the obvious cool shots you'd get? Are you scared of heights?

>>6857 you're right, I should have climbed that radio tower in front of a busy highway on private property. i'll make sure to do it next time!

>>6858 There's one on a wooded hilltop in my neighbourhood, nowhere near traffic and I just know the view would be amazing, over the whole city, out to sea where there are islands and ships. I'm still not climbing it because in 2020 every damn thing in the world has alarms and cameras on it.

>>6894 Mask yourself. And how high are the fines if they still catch you?

>>6896 What are you talking about? There will surely be an alarm on it, and a service road leads right up to the site. There are these people here called "police". Let's put it this way. YOU go scale a radio tower, snap some photos with timestamp and post them here. What's stopping you, chicken?

>>6899 >What's stopping you, chicken? Nothing is stopping me. Worst case is getting caught and having to pay a fine (in my country). Best case is I snap some photos and get off the radio tower in time before the police catches me.

>>6900 Prove it here or you are full of a caffeinated soy beverage.
