I took pics at a place that didn't have a ceiling to bounce off the flash. I ended up just putting on a diffuser and aimed the flash directly in front of me. This resulted in ugly shadows behind everything I shot. What could I have done differently?

with only a single flash? - nothing.
could have used a softbox to get the shadows less harsh, but that's about it.
>>2738409
you could have bounced sideways off the walls, obviously. You could also have brought a reflector thing and got someone to hold it above you
>>2738442
Fuck off and take your shitty tripcode with you. It's not clever or witty. Prick.
>>2738446
even if he bounced it off the walls or used some reflector there would have been shadows.
tripcodes have always been part of 4chan, deal with it you whiny little bitch.

What are the green and black pieces?
Also, why?
>>2737963
black is mirror, green focus screen, DSLR speed focussing many lens options

You sir are an arsehole, i couldn't find only exorbitant auction prices, nothing realistic. I really tought you guys were different from the guys on /b/ and would actually get an educated person give me a real answer, i guess not.
I decided I'm gonna photograph my childhood neighborhood so I went on Google Maps to plan out what I'm gonna shoot.
How do you plan your shots?
>>2736506
you use your legs and walk, you lardass cripple.

>wasting valuable time and sunlight aimlessly wandering around for something interesting in a place you haven't been in years instead of doing research beforehand and having a plan knowing exactly what you want to shoot
did you just take screen shots from the street view?
Hey /p/ i was tidying up the place and ended up doing this picture. I think ive done alright.
Show me your sensors, /p/.

I see no reason to stockpile film. I move around too often to store it properly, anyway. I just maintain 20 rolls Portra 400. As soon as I get down to 15 rolls I buy another box.
Maybe you should go shoot it instead of bragging on a Vietnamese video forum?
>>2733247
Not OP but stockpiling has it's place when an emulsion you love becomes discontinued.
I bought 250 rolls of Agfa APX 100 and 50 rolls of RSX 50 when Agfa went belly up, Scalla was already gone. I shot the APX but the RSX still sits in my fridge because no one wants to run it through their C41 chemistry anymore.
I would kill for the rolls OP has of 160VC

How badly did I fuck up?
On Friday I purchased a d70,and since then I have been reading photography books I borrowed from the local library, almost every author has nothing good to say about crop sensors and talks about how you should go for full frame.
I spent €900 in total on the camera and kit lens, and there are eos 6d's/5d mark ii for around 200 more on eBay.
€900 for a D70 is robbery. You got fooled.
That being said, fool frame is a religion. Sensor technology is making them obsolete fast.
You didn't. A camera is as good as how you use it. Full frame is better no doubt, but it's heavier, lenses are 3 times more expensive at the very least , and if you can't shoot good photos then full frame won't fix it.
There's nothing inherently wrong with a crop sensor just like there's nothing inherently wrong with an old smartphone. They did the job fine then and they still do it now, and using them to the maximum depends on how much of a gear-stroking faggot you are, since gear is improving to serve a good photographer in making the photograpy...

So I got my application to join Alamy approved and have started adding photos on there to sell.
I was wondering if anyone on /p/ has any stock photography stories to share? Most people moan how they couldn't make money, but then I see contributors with 10,000+ images and they can't all be autistic.
Is stock still a good money spinner?

>Is stock still a good money spinner?
No.
Look at what they're planning to pay you.
>>2738312
it's 50% return, minimum sale £15. If I just sell 4-5 a day that's a liveable income, and people post that they sell thousands.
someone can fix the background or change to a better one??
No.
I fixed the background for you. I hope this one is better.

Don't be so rude.

When taking portraits during travel, would it be bad to be using shallow DoF all the time? For example, I want to take a photo of a person in front of a famous tourist site but if I blur the background, what's the point of taking vacation photos???
Just got back from a trip where I shot all portraits at f/2.8 to f/4.0 and the subjects are complaining that the background is blurred and nobody can tell where they are?? Thanks.

well you need to choose what you want your subject to be, whether you want a portrait or a landscape photo. Very difficult to have both in a good photo. Your friends just want a typical shitty holiday photo where they are tiny people at the bottom of the pic in typical shitty poses probably hugging each other with a shitty landmark in the back. That's why I don't take my DSLRs for holidays, take some instax or a 10 bucks film point and shoot instead, pic related

Well that should give you a clue. If you want to take a portrait in a certain environment it makes sense that the environment should be recognisable. Just because it is a portrait it doesn't mean that everything but the nose and eyes must be out of focus.
Employ a little common sense and remember that the importance of bokeh has been elevated by blogs in order to make you feel...

Shallow DoF is played out. Its all about f/36 these days.
I am in the process of upgrading. This will be a 2 years activity. Sorry to bother.

Seems like you've got it all figured out buddy. You're good.
Or... you know, since you've been a photographer for 8 years, you could take 5 photography jobs in the next two years for $300 each and pay it off.
>>2736877
wait, you've already bought the camera?
aren't you supposed to beg for money first?
what do you think is better for gopro videos/photos /p/?

Just got a gopro hero 4 silver for a trip to Canada and trying to learn as much as I can before I leave.
pic not related.
Shoot flat unless you don't want to color grade.
how do i shoot flat? I have a gopro 3 silver + I'm pretty sure
Some photos I've taken. Feedback always welcome
It's ok being a hobbyist but you will never make it and achieve anything in your photography if you never become a professional. I'm like that as well but you will forever be an "amateur" who's photographs won't exceed the snapshot status. All the best photographs in this world were shot by pros and not amateur snapshooters who talk about gear all the time and has no plan becoming a pro.
DigitalRev showed it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccf8fQ4AQr8
I myself only improved so much when I started getting paid for my photos. I've recently shot a wedding and it taught me a lot.
You can only become an artist if you turned pro.

B-but I don't want to make it or achieve anything anon. I just want to take pictures for my own enjoyment.

Then you have failed. You are no different than the selfie casuals.
I'm not a professional photographer because there are literally better things to do in life. I like it as a hobby.
Same thing with gaming.
