I want robot photography, specifically. The kind of photographs the people who frequent this board take. Same way you wouldn't >>>/co/ a "/pol/ comics thread."
I want pictures that you take, especially pictures that you think (either with their subject or the mindset of the man who would take it) demonstrate why we still browse this godforsaken board.
If you wanna include a short story about the picture, I think that'd be cool. If not, just try and beat the robot, robofriends.

I was in eastern Nevada and pulled over at the nearest exit to answer a phone call (don't talk and drive, it's the law or something, or maybe it's not I honestly don't know anymore.) I love all desolate semi-abandoned places, but the thing that struck me here was the absolutely derelict-looking "Diesel Motel Casino" sign. I loved the juxtaposition of words, the sign's vacant lower portion falling apart, and the way it just seemed to be the outside border, the final end-of-the-road, of civilization (or the entire world) in this dusty nowhere town.

All the pictures are on my old laptop but in 2014 an airport that I used to visit a lot as a kid closed down. The weekend after it closed I went down there at about 4 in the morning just as the sun was rising and took a bunch of pictures around the outside of the terminal building and through the fence. I then drove up to an abandoned airliner on the other side of the place and spent about an hour just walking around it and taking pictures of it with the only sound being the birds chirping away.
It's one of the only times I can remember being completely content and at peace.

I don't blame /p/ for thinking my photography is boring though anon, I just think they might be seriously v normie and can't even understand the beauty of minimalism and geometry. Also, I don't like what most would consider "good light", since good light makes things look way happier than what I see them as. /p/ is for faggots who want to make money out of taking portraits nearly exclusively.

>more care with the framing of the scenario
You want a more full story? I was just running out of text space.
I'd just finished working a job about an hour east of my city, in addition to stopping for supplies on the way out. Installed outlets and other stuff on a fairly large home remodel, about a ten-hour workday, for which I'd just been told I wouldn't be paid for the first 6 because the outlets my supervisor bought (which I installed, after double-checking with him that they were indeed the ones I was meant to install) were the wrong color. So I'd have to take them out and replace them. Also unpaid.
I stopped here to take a call, and also to fill the tank (just out of shot on the right, there's a big casino with a gas station out front.) Seeing this made me want to take a picture, this was back when I lived in Nevada and the desolation absolutely captured my imagination but the sheer vastness and flatness of it made it very hard for me to capture it with a picture (it was really the depth that made it so impressive, and 2D pictures can't capture that very well.) But sometimes I'd find abandoned buildings or mines or whatever in the middle of nowhere, and I felt the juxtaposition of known installation against unknown desert highlighted the emptiness of the place.
This pic is nothing special, I was driving through Oregon and I stopped to stretch my legs and make a sandwich. The Oregon coastal forests are absolutely boner-inspiring.

Abandoned places are one of the greatest treasures, in my opinion. I got to hop around a derelict DC-3 once, someone had been straight-up using it as a storage shed, there were a bunch of scattered boxes and a few bicycles inside.

The one from inside the bus is great imo. I appreciate the composition of it, and in a way I guess it echoes things I've felt.
I like the intent I can feel in most of them even if I don't consider many of your photos to be visually pretty.
Also of course, I don't think you need advice for that, but ignore people who tell you to change the style of your pictures.
Boring doesn't come from the subjects you pick, neither does it depends exclusively on the light or the composition alone.

>heavily photoshopped
Maybe it's a product of our jaded Photoshop-inundated culture (I guess I was in HS right as HS kids were starting to know what Photoshop was, or something) but I think an unedited photo is the best kind. At any decent resolution, a close inspection can generally pick out all but the most skilled Photoshop editing, and then the entire photo feels like a lie. /p/ seems like a bunch of stuck-up hipsters sometimes, but I don't browse too often so maybe I'm cherrypicking the assholes from that place.
>>26601593
>implying the camera quality is relevant to the picture's quality for anything short of shots you're literally being paid for
Cell phones are the best imo because they're always in your pocket, so they're there to take so many pictures that you wouldn't have had a dedicated camera in hand to capture.

This is somewhere in the harbor at Seattle, I've always romanticized the seafaring life. This is a monument to those lost at sea in Seattle's fishing industry (I think, if memory serves.)

Airport shot, nice. Are you a pilot or just walking around taking pics? Shasta is one of the coolest things I've seen on a road-trip, I'm used to mountains being visually part of a mountain range but Shasta seems to almost stand alone.
Actually, flew over Shasta a couple times, that and Crater Lake are absolutely incredible from the air. I've never hiked either, which is a shame because I'd absolutely love to.

Any standing structures? One of my favorite things is abandoned buildings. Open abandoned mineshafts give me such a huge hardon.
This was on a peak by Lake Tahoe, kind of a last hurrah of summer before it started getting cold. We drove four-wheelers up to the peak and then sat around talking about sex and alcohol for a while. I'm so glad I took that day off work.

Cool outfit, and the way you talk makes me think you yourself are a good person.
>>26602247
That's about right. I have a constant limbo-esque feeling of well-being. Depicting everyday things in a very raw/naked way is... What being alive means to me. It's beautiful, it's not exciting, it's comfortable and it's manmade more often than not.
I yearn for what is real and simple anon, and I yearn for such integrity in everything in life. I don't overcompensate reality to feel happy. I want things to be exactly what they are.
That's what makes me feel happy.

What /p/ does not realize that any dumb idiot with a DSLR and proper training can become a photographer. All it takes is to keep in mind the rule of thirds or golden ratio, be in the right time on the right place, and take pictures.
Most of photos I took re with nokia potatophone camera, and some photos can be good despite getting to the limits of the camera, mainly the blur due to the optical system (point spread function).
Now after getting used DSLR from something like craigslist, I tried to do become a foamer for the moment, as shown in pic related.
But I still like the potatophone camera more, since I don't have to carry half a kilogram of glass, plastic and electronics.
>>26602386

>Didn't get any good shots
Still really cool. Even a shitty shot of an abandoned place makes me think about it, and build the scene in my head, and imagine exploring it.
For me, the pic is more about a souvenir or a sort of proof of having been there/the place having existed than it is about the photo itself.
>just spent a while looking for these photos
There is (or was, at least, a couple yeasr ago, no idea if it's still there) an abandoned power station or transformer building or something a few miles north of San Francisco. I hopped a fence and slid under a garage door and took a bunch of pictures.
>>26602697
To get there, I walked a mile or two along some railroad tracks, some of it was pretty scenic. Railroad tracks are some pretty prime trails for hiking a lot of times. Just don't get hit (true story I almost got hit by a train one time because I'm fucking half-deaf and didn't hear it coming up behind me.)
>>26602783
This was the abandoned building's surrounding scenery, just empty fields and one tiny strip-mining site a few miles north (pretty much the only traffic on the drive out to this site were the couple gravel trucks I passed.)
>>26602826
Front doors, giant PG&E logo up top you can just barely make out. Boarded up really well, I could've gotten in through the front door but only if I'd brought my power tools (or at the very least a sledgehammer.)
>>26602864
This was the right side if you're facing the front, you can see the garage door I got in through. It didn't open, but it was bent up from years of other explorers doing what I'd done, just enough where I could slide myself underneath. After this we get to the cool pictures.
NYC robots around?
>>26602935
As you can see, parties aplenty have happened inside these walls. Seeing this made me slightly more aware of my surroundings, the rural setting had me pretty relaxed but whenever I see stuff like this it reminds me that abandoned places sometimes have violence inside (usually just coked-out hobos, but a coked-out hobo can stab you just as fatally as anyone.) Completely empty though, I was the probably the only human for miles around.
>sidenote
I took a souvenir from here, one of the old logbooks for maintenance of power lines and suchforth. There was a bookshelf full of them, I took the least water-damaged/faded/destroyed one.
A lonely chair & table. Took it today.
>>26603020
Isolated hallway. All the walls here are thick concrete and most of the rooms were single-entry, some of the metal doors. You could lock someone away here and they'd die before anyone found them. I get paranoid being in rooms like that even when there's no door, but when I'm already in the explorer mindset the sight adrenaline rush of my subconscious going "hey you could totally get locked in here forever if a door magically appeared with a lock on it" kind of feels cool.
One of the only street photos I've taken. Can't be fucked to go downtown when I can afford to stay inside and do nothing all day.
>>26603110
This was the only closed/locked door in the entire building, apart of course from the exterior doors. Still graffiti on the inside, though. Didn't think too hard about that. Maybe there's a spooooky graffiti ghost hanging around these parts.
>>26603165
Nice black-and-white capture, he has one of those faces that just seems to speak something. The hair under the cap, the white 'stache, his uniform seems like an afterthought slapped on top of his years in the city that you don't notice for the first few minutes. I always want to ask people like this about their life and experiences, but I don't know how to just walk up to someone and say "Tell me about your life."

I took that one with my phone
It was in 2013 and I met my parents in the old town part of the city
They were at work, on their way to meet some guy who restores old buildings
They said that if I tag along, they can show me a part of an old church that is closed to visitors
The man was wearing a suit, greeted my parents and lead us to a stairwell
Interior of the tower was dark and there were spiderwebs hanging from the walls
When we finally climbed all the stairs, we've found ourselves inside a dark room with an old door and some dusty wooden "floor" leading to it
I thought that it's beautiful and that this might be the last photo of this place ever taken
So yeah, this image you see no longer exists physically

Mothball fleet in San Francisco. I have no idea what the mothball fleet is up to or what it will ever be used for or whatever, I just thought it was neat. I parked up at this big church on the hillside, must've been a weekday or something because the parking lot was empty. Lotta 'off' (or maybe 'unusual' would be more accurate) stuff you run into in the hills around San Fran, or maybe that's just my small-town experience talking.

Well hot damn, this was a really good one. This is in Colorado, normally my phone takes horrible cloudy-day photos but this one came out really well.
I took it to show off this golf-ball I found, I'm big into just hitting golf balls off hilltops in the middle of nowhere and I'm always excited when I find evidence of others doing the same.
We also hiked down to the lake, surprisingly difficult because it was relatively cool that day and everything was wet (nobody was wearing waterproof shoes, half of us didn't even have warm jackets.)

Illiterate with city skylines, I still have no idea where you are. Reunion Tower in Dallas, Space Needle in Seattle, Lady Liberty in NY, Eiffel Tower in Paris, and Tower Bridge in London are about the only things I can use to recognize cities.
Oh, and Golden Gate Bridge I guess, but honestly I couldn't tell it from any other bridge if the picture wasn't relatively clear.

Fug, I have a few cemetary pics lying around somewhere I'm sure. A few West Coast and a few Maine, if I can find them. Here's an abandoned house in the Colorado mountains that I found on a 4wd expedition last summer.
Most of my photos are /out/ but I'm down with any pics, even a pic of your stained mug on your shitty Walmart desk is kind of a neat slice-of-life thing.

We were climbing this ridiculous mountain, it was so high that by the time we got to the 'top' (not the highest point, just the point where the trail pretty much ended, at least 1000' below the peak) the air was so thin that the truck was barely producing any power. Flooring the gas pedal in 4LO and barely making enough power to move the wheels, it was ridiculous. I have a few more pics of the scenery and a few more of the truck at the summit.
This was probably one of the coolest abandoned buildings I've seen, not for exploration purposes, but the log construction was so aesthetically pleasing. I don't think I've ever been in another abandoned log building.

I love exploring abandoned buildings, been to some really cool ones in New Jersey and California. Never seen an abandoned log cabin before, that's really nice.
This pic is from a meetup I had with someone from /x/, we went to a cemetery way out in the more rural region of the state. Took a two hour train ride to get there. The place was absolutely beautiful, though. Really overgrown, there was ivy on absolutely everything. We barely said a word the entire time, but the silence wasn't awkward, it was respectful. I really wish I could do something like that again.

Blending into the crowd is comfy, but when you're bumping shoulders with complete strangers, constantly slowed on your way to a destination because of people walking slowly, everyone goes out of their way to avoid looking at your face, it makes you feel like an ant in a big hill after awhile. That isn't to say that there are some beautiful parts of the city (pic related, a pier that I went to at dusk), but the bullshit you have to go through to live there doesn't make it worth it. IMO.

Nice, I live in Halifax. Where was that exactly? Cape Chignecto? I'd like to go sometime.

I moved to Georgia, with the help of someone I met on /r9k/, of all places. We share a house with three other people now. Rent is about 1/3 of the cost that it was in New York, for a place that's twice as big and a LOT cleaner and quieter. Got a job quickly over here, too. Don't be afraid to look to places further away. The initial cost of travel is a doozy but if you can save up for it, it's worth it.

Couldn't find the cemetary pictures. Might be buried in my ex-gf folder, at least one of the cemetaries I went to was with that crazy chick.
This might be the best CO picture I have. This isn't a fisheye lense, the mountain is just that damn big. Like I said, this wasn't even the top, I don't think I actually took any pictures looking towards the top sadly enough.
Took the truck up the final climb (drove it from where it was parked essentially to where I was standing to take this picture) and almost slid off the mountain. Which, keep in mind, would've been several thousand feet down a near-cliff. Possibly the single stupidest four-wheeling idea I've ever been part of, and to get only ~50' further down the trail before parking again.

I also like taking pictures of cemeteries, unfortunately don't have any of my hard drives with me at the moment so cant share them. Where is that one?
Panama City Beach, Florida

Greenwood Cemetery in New York. Really beautiful place, tons of mausoleums and plenty of historical graves as well. Here's another photo from the same place.

Looks very nice and quiet there. When i visit places on holiday i usually look up what cemeteries are around and visit, but i didnt do that when i was in New York.
I'm disappointed that i don't have my hard drive, I took some nice ones in the summer of a small graveyard and chapel overlooking the sea in Cornwall, England. Arnos Vale in Bristol (also England) is a nice graveyard too.
I found one graveyard one that i emailed to myself of a columbarium style bit of a cemetery. In shit quality for uploading

Here's some Oregon stuff. I haven't done too much Oregon photography, but I pulled off the highway on a road-trip here to do some backwoods exploring and marvel at how much goddamn green there was everywhere. I think this was an abandoned ranch, but I guess a lot of stuff up there is hard to tell whether it's abandoned or just not touched very often. That's a bridge across a four-lane highway in the background, and it's just unfinished dirt on the top of it. No idea if there were plans at some point to pave a road, or that was some rancher's idea of a finished product.
This is, if I recall correctly, a couple hours south of Eugene. I'd just had an emergency overnight stay at my friend's because the car was breaking down and driving so slowly I was several hours behind where I thought I'd be at that time.
>tfw brother gave me the car at the beginning of that trip with nearly-empty engine oil and told me "oh yeah I just had the oil changed it's ready to drive 500 miles"

Are those just headstones, or are they seriously body-closets? If the latter, that's slightly disturbing.
The ladder is unsettling to me too, not because ladders themselves are weird, but the concept of having to wheel over a ladder just to read your loved one's grave. I've never seen anything like this, closest is the war memorial walls with lost soldiers' names. Are these common in cities, maybe I'm just too /smalltown/
Just to break the urban/widlerness tone, not that I don't love it, here's a picture of yawning cat. No story here, I just decided to show my normiebook friends what my cat looked like that day.

And here's my spoiled shit of a dog. She's actually really chill. Most of that is just because she's too old to do anything, but she's such a good housemate 99% of the time now. Only problem is when anyone visits, she barks almost nonstop until she gets tired and falls asleep.
Took this on the way back from work near my house.
Would be better if all the cars weren't there.
>>26606624
Those sound lovely, it's a shame you don't have your hard drive with you. Thanks for sharing that one though, it looks really nice. I've never been to a cemetery with those before but I've always wanted to. Maybe one day.

>being spooked by cemeteries
What's the matter, do inanimate objects representing people who were loved enough to be given a place to be remembered really bother you?

Come on up, friend.

>spooked
It's not spooked, it's just weird. I'd view it as disrespectful or tacky to "bury" the dead aboveground, for one. Second, the ladder just seems so anti-tranquil. Graveyards, to me, are the ultimate place of tranquility. Wheeling a ladder around and climbing up twelve metal steps just to read your grandpa's name on a stone plaque seems so ... dehumanizing I guess?
(fug, I forgot about this post, this is gonna be way late)
>>26606888
I think you put ashes in them, not a body. I have to say when i first saw them i did think it was like the drawers in morgues haha. The ladder is for maintaining them, generally the ones there had like a glass window pane thing at the front, then a gap where you could place photos, trinkets, flowers etc, then a stone slab which i assume was what the ashes/urn is behind. If you google columbarium you can see more clearly what they are like.

The one in Cornwall is called Barnoon Cemetery in St Ives. They have very beautiful colourful sunsets there and people often gather to watch them from the beach (which is at the bottom of the hill that the graveyard is on) or our on the spit that you can see in some of the photos on google. I watched one evening from the cemetery, nobody else was up there and it was a great moment. Hopefully ill find the hard drive, the pictures might turn up in another photography thread.
I think cemeteries are really interesting, I feel like sometimes you can tell a lot from them. The one in Barcelona (Poblenou Cemetery) was initially built with egalitarian ideals of people being equal in death, which is the columbarium section, but then wealthy people bought space there and have these ridiculously elaborate statues and mausoleums. It almost seems like a sociology thing, idk
Pic related is also Barcelona, it was a little side street. Might have been set up for a festival of some sort
I took this while I was traveling through Pennsylvania. It means quite a bit to me. What do you lads think?
>>26607145
Bit of a trip :-) I want to see more of NS (been living here all of my life but haven't seen much of it, robot life), so I'll probably end up renting a car in Sept to go there. I'll be in Ontario for the summer so can't go then.
>>26607639
I know that feel bro.
The Alexander Hamelton bridge in the Bronx always sticks out in my mind.
>>26607703
Yeah, I know what you mean. Driving through Pennsylvania was oddly memorable. Those woods, the brown bark, olive colored leaves, the endless winding road, the mountains, the dew and the grey sky with the sun breaking through. It was incredibly mesmerizing. It's strange how places you visit can have such a profound affect on you even if they're considered "mundane".
