These are pretty fucking awesome. I'm getting some strong New Mexico vibes from here, but it could probably also be Utah, Arizona or Texas.

And this looks like Colorado. I'm kind of blown away by your knack for composition. You say you've only been shooting for a few years?

First off, I wanna say I like all of these a lot, especially together. Very consistent, very aesthetic.

I'd go through and clone out certain things (random brush in the middle of the left trail of first shot for example) that're caught by the edges of the frame to clean the photos up, and in a couple of cases points of interest could be burned a little for contrasts' sake to draw attention (the tire swing is a great example of a point of interest that could be made more apparent)

The cave photo is the exception. Not much to that, although I understand why you photographed it and would have probably done the same.

Damn you! I knew this was too good to be true, they looked familiar to me yet also very awesome. Then I put it together and realized that this is from the series "Greys the Mountain Sends" by Bryan Schutmaat. Good troll work, son.

>>2847328
Oh man, this was one of those "I'm gonna post photos I think /p/ will call bad then pull a ruse at the end" threads and it backfired?
That's just as dank as the photos.

>>2847328

Welp, there you go. You could tell right off the bat that something was fishy.

>>2847330

And I didn't even post his best work. Bryan is a really fantastic photographer, and the photos are even better when you see them in their proper sequence:

http://www.bryanschutmaat.com/grays-the-mountain-sends/


But a lot of you seemed to enjoy his work without really knowing it's repudiated. What do you think makes his photographs work so well, even out of sequence?

>>2847337

Technical quality, composition, and they do a great job of evoking a sense of place through attention to subtle detail, semiotics and signifiers.

>>2847304 (right 20% should be cropped away)
>>2847307
>>2847308

These are good, the rest are boring look at this view pictures.

You cant take pictures with tons of detail spread out unless there is an amazing subject to draw focus or a oneness to the photo. The 3 photos I highlighted are the only 3 able to do this.

Dissapointing series with some nice photos.

>>2847330
pretty sure way more than half of commenters right click and imagesearch before they comment. I have literally never not done this as it takes 1 second and I do not trust anyone here to ever post original photos, not even shit posts.

>>2847688

Spotted the idiot.

>>2847688
>You cant take pictures with tons of detail spread out unless there is an amazing subject to draw focus or a oneness to the photo.

You absolutely can. The subject of the photo doesn't need to be so explicit and literal. It can be an object, and/or what that object represents. Similarly, the subject can also be a mood, feel or concept that's created by what's going on in the photograph.

Robert Adams once said "light" was the subject of his photographs.

>>2847770
>Robert Adams once said "light" was the subject of his photographs.

Which is weird, because his are the flattest, most midday boring sun lit photos in the pantheon.

>>2847328
Ha, thought the photos were too good for /p/.

>>2847688
Kill yourself please.

>>2847321
>>2847316

Serious question: What is it about these photos that give it that distinct large format look? You see it all the time, but I can't pin it down to one specific thing or another. Tiny details? Sure. Corrected verticals? Probably. You could do that with digital as well, and these have been resized down to web size, as far as details are concerned.

Still, you can just look at these and know that they're large format.

>>2847337
>But a lot of you seemed to enjoy his work without really knowing it's repudiated. What do you think makes his photographs work so well, even out of sequence?

Most of these would be about as appealing if they were taken with a shitty phone camera. Its all in the choice of subject and composition.

I don't care of these were taken by Ansel fucking Adams, they are boring vacation snapshots. Being a known photographer doesn't legitimize them.

>>2847909
>boring vacation snapshots
Excellent critique! You'll go far with this sort of analysis!

>>2847871

I've been wondering about this, too.

>>2847871
>>2847936
>>2847943
The aspect ratio, the contrast and saturation levels of film, the perspective, and the fact that absolutely everything is completely in focus, and in high detail, without the image being destroyed by diffraction.

>>2847796

That was my gut reaction, too. But I've been able to see what he's driving at after learning more about his views on conservation. You have to consider his intent and concept. The photographs don't always stand on their own out of context.

>>2847952
Sort of. Using full frame helps, because it does a little bit more than APS-C to hold off diffraction at smaller apertures. Good lens choice, and good editing to support the goal (rather than jamming contrast and saturation in)

Doing a panorama stitch can do a lot to keep your detail up.

>>2847952

Also wondering about this, but not that I want to recreate it so much as emulate the aesthetic. Switching to film to explore this kind of work (especially LF) is too great a risk for me at the moment.

>>2847957
Emulating the FEEL of film is pretty easy with digital these days. It's about contrast and saturation management, mostly. Using a high dynamic range camera (read: not Canon) you bring the contrast way down, so that you have tons of information across a huge range, and then add contrast back in in the midtones to keep things looking dramatic. Then you go in and unify your colors. Push reds and warmer yellows in towards orange. Push your greener yellows and blues in towards green, etc. Less variation in your colors. Play with your saturation and vibrance sliders together, but more importantly, go into your HSL sliders and adjust luminosity and saturation for each channel to approach the look of whichever film you're trying to emulate.

To do it really well is an art in and of itself, which is why a lot of people don't do it convincingly, but it helps to really examine the photos you're looking to replicate with a sterile eye. Look at what colors are present, and what colors aren't. Look at saturation levels and brightness. Look at how much detail exists in the bright areas compared to the darker areas, etc. Once you can break it down and make a list of things you recognize in the images, then you have a list of goals to work towards with your digital files.

Something that will often make a file look digital in stead of film is the way detail is rendered. on medium and large format film, there is a LOT of detail, but it's not in your face razor sharp ridges, it's just information that's in the shot. With digital, especially after sharpening, you get these razor blade sharp files that just scream megapixels. So get your high res files, and then work on adding in a bit of grain, at the base level, to work on softening that harshness.

>>2847964

Thanks Anon! I appreciate your thoughts. It's good to get some insight beyond "just shoot film if you want a film look, faggot." I've taken what you said and pasted it in a note to myself to refer back to in the future. I think I'll move to proper large format film eventually, but I think I want to exhaust the potential digital has for me before I do so. I'd like to transition over when I feel like it's what I absolutely need to do to get my point across with phootgraphy, you know?

>>2847964
>Emulating the FEEL of film is pretty easy with digital these days

What's why there are so many digital images that look like film right?

Oh wait. To emulate film with digital I am sure you need to spend quite some editing.

>>2847997
You assume that everyone shooting digital wants to emulate the look of film, which isn't the case. Then you also assume that everyone who does want to do it knows how, which isn't the case.

>>2847300
Not a good startig image to look at, i assumed this was taken on a d3300 from a first time user, just the composition and coloring in this is weird

>>2847301
now that's much better, i love the composition in this one, sorta boring though

>>2847304
holy shit, im in love with this, maybe with some different PP this could really pop

>>2847305
sweet damn, that X in the sky really tops this one off, im a whore for landscape shots

>>2847307
neat little photo, but otherwise forgettable

>>2847308
i like the details but i otherwise dont care at all for this one, just really boring

>>2847309
again, nice textures, but with no subject for the eye to fall on, it ends up being boring

>>2847311
ahaaaa back at it again with the sweet scapes, this is great, most people dont know that color balancing yellow grass is a complete cunt to do

>>2847312
this is pretty cool, would make a sick album cover, i love the old TV

>>2847316
the lines in this are great, and hey! you dropped the super duper cold blue tones you have for this one, i like it

>>2847321
my fave in the thread, thats some great positioning and coloring, what was this shot on?

CONCLUSION: My main issue with all these is that you tone them al a little too cold/blue, maybe im a basic bitch but i like when my scapes pop with color, other than that, for a new-ish user, these are pretty great
