it's "soft" focus
Not even a nice place to pose at, ton of distracting branches and shit all around,

I bet they've made a bunch more money than I have in photography
Really bad shot all round really.
Anyone here starting uni to study photography this year? Or already going to uni? If so what branch are you studying and what do you plan to do when you get out.
This is such a shitty group picture. Group shots should at least try and get people in focus rather than bokeh whoring.
And photo school? Business and marketing would be more helpful to make a living at it.
just dont
i absolutey guarantee you will regret your decision
get a useful degree while simply taking photographs, studying from plenty of sources online, and looking through photobooks
hell, study sociology or philosophy. literaly anything but photography. by all means pursue a career as a photographer but dont waste the value of a degree on something that will literally tell everyone you are an idiot for going $30-40k in debt for a piece of paper that says photography on it.

Major in journalism or business, minor in photography. Make the connections, and still get a useful skill so you can actually put your photography to use. Photography by itself leaves you really good at working a camera, while also working at Best Buy.

I can build upon this
My DSLR progression was 50, 90, and now 700 is my main body. The 50 doesn't get much action any more but its a great camera.
I was disappointed when Nikon dumbed down the entry level range - no top LCD, hiding most controls in menu's etc.
Give me a D50/70/90 any day.

OK, so... How do you get your photos the best level of critique and/or sharing opportunity /p?
I've used flickr for years, but it's so desperately bad now; and i can't take another bullshit comment with some generic banner, 20 gold stars, and glittery gif of a cat, and a link to some group consisting of swamp donkeys and hoopsniffers.
Instagram? - never used, for 12yo girls surely?
500px - Photoshop wankery, everywhere?

tumblr/insta for sharing shit.
/p/ is the only place with direct critic. because every other site has a reputation system, so people try not to be unlikeable with their opinions.
>>2801063
Critique? /p/ and reddit are pretty good, so long as you present photos in the correct way. That is to say, only present your best photos, that you know are good enough to warrant critique. Present them in a humble self aware way, in your own thread, specifically asking for critique. State what you are proud of in each photo, and discuss your goals for the image, etc.
For viewing, instagram, flickr, reddit. Getting your stuff seen is a tough battle when there are a million other people out there trying for the...

>/p/ and reddit are pretty good
went there to see their critique, found this:
"If my dick could cry I'm sure it'll cry tears of joy from this picture. I like very much"
also this
"One key question, why are you centered? By centering yourself in the image you don't allow the viewers eye to move. Compare this image to the rule of thirds, or the golden ratio."
thanks, but no thanks.
Anyone take pics with a GoPotato? I love mine but since I left in a rush for a mountain biking trip this weekend I left my camera gear at home.
All I have is my hero4 black.
Inspiration please, before I have a breakdown.

If you'll be doing awesome stuff that doesn't really rely on much intense image quality, in great light the whole time, then you'll be fine.
So essentially: you're fucked.
https://youtu.be/vPwK5fN4Qfg
I hate the GoPro for photos.
So much noise, even at 100-400. Protune is also pointless.
Videos are good though, but really bad sound recording with the casing, regardless of doors.
I also have a Hero4 Black for a half year, but didn't use it once. What should I do with it? I'll be backpacking around the world soon, but not actually doing extreme sports or something.
Give me some inspiration please!
Hey professional /p/hotogs
Why did you choose to be a photographer when it doesn't bring in prestige, wealth, fame and the qt3.14s?
Is it because you are not intellectually gifted? If you are then you will be a quantum physicist, a medical scientist or an inventor.
Is it because you are not physically gifted?
Because if you are you might be an actor or an athlete or even a model.
Is it because you are not creative enough?
If you are you are already a painter, animator, writer, film director or even a graphic artist.
Is it because you are not charismatic or have social skills?
If you are you have already a business or be a lawyer or a politician.
Most photographers are mediocre human beings who just want to earn a quick buck by having FIRST NAME, LAST NAME PHOTOGRAPHY. Face it /p/, being a photographer is easy as fuck. Society considers photographers as having the same par with managers of a fast food chain. Meaning they didn't amount to anything. I know most of you are lowlifes who wasn't able to fulfill their childhood dreams due to being lazy or not good enough in general so good thing there's photography right?

It's a dreadful mistake to make career decisions based solely on money or fame, as you clearly do. These are both entirely pointless aims in and of themselves. So you make all the money - but it's worthless unless you have something to spend it on. It's just a means to an end. Now, you could spend your money on conspicuous consumption, which is just a vain attempt to exchange your cash for social standing, or you could put in the hours in exchange for having the cash to enable you to do things you truly enjoy in your time off. Travelling, fixing vintage cars,...

Where did you take these beautiful pics?
Guys, I don't know if any of you had to deal with copyright issues but I hope you will help me.
I've been writing an article on historical people and used their pictures/photos. The editorial guideline makes it obligatory to provide a source site for them so whenever I couldn't find it on a public online encyclopedia like Wiki I used random news site using this photo.
The latest picture dates back to 30s/20s and there's no way it's not publicly available. But the editor requires me too prove that some of the sites I listed are in public...

The Russian Federation recognizes copyright for a duration of 50 years from the death of the author, or 50 years from the date of publication if the identity of the author is not known. That photo is from 1921, so if the identity of the author is known, he/she could conceivably have lived through to 1966; and in any case, there might be a matter of copyright attached to the scan itself.
Try to use things that you can prove to be in the public domain, like works of the US government.

Going to a Con tomorrow, one of my cosplayer friends got me a VIP ticket for free, in exchange I'll try to get him some good shots of his outfit and some video coverage.
Any /p/ advice in general? Also I hope to see and shoot some nice cosplayer gurls.
I live in Hungary, so it"s not a frequent occurrence here.
If the thread is alive til' tomorrow I will deliver pictures.

Gear thread, faggot.
Currently studying Photography and at the campus a work is a done on Mac. However at home i use a PC.
I have all my photos and LR catalog on my external, However when i use the campus mac's and come home most of my photos are required to be found again. BUT no images/folders have moved.
Anyone know why or how to get issue?
The file structure on your home computer points to a different place on the school computer.
If I make a catalog that sources photos from a USB drive 'F' on my PC, take that catalog and USB to another PC where the USB is now drive 'G',
it won't work.
It needs to be the same exact file structure.
The fact that you're working across two different ecosystems is hard enough.
>>2800610
thanks,
i was worried that was the fact. Exporting the catalog after each class, will still give me the issue im guessing?
>>2800615
It should give the same issue. The file directory has to be EXACT you can't move something from say "c:\images" to "f:\images" because they're not the same directory.
Took some holiday snapshits with 35mm kodak ektar 100, just got them back from the lab and here is how they look...
Is this a problem with the lab? film? camera? scan?
I just started shooting film, and have taken solid photos using this camera before. Would it be worth taking the negatives to a better lab and having them look at them?
Second roll.
The photos don't seem badly exposed, and they all have different problems, some have a terrible red cast, others blue. Some are well exposed but have huge scratches or lines over them. All have massive problems with noise and dust.
Hi everyone, I just finished selecting the pictures I'm going to send over to my photography school with a wad of cash to bribe the provisor and get accepted.
I had to produce 5 images on the theme of, pretty much, colour. (I can't really translate it exactly)
I chose to work with a yashica mat 124g and some expired Portra 160, here are the results.

Maybe a better camera would be your best bet. I like the footage and music you added, but some of the boring shots were too long and the more interesting shots were too short. What camera do you use?
well artistically it was dull as fuck.
also the camera keeps moving during the sequence. Leave it the fuck alone. also edit out the bad frames in post production.
