Trump demands his photographer use the bigliest lens possible. The photographer was fully zoomed out and standing against the wall outside the doorway when the picture was taken.

We’ve entered the phase of ironic photography

I've never been invited to any Flickr group. :( I feel like I'm not a real photographer until I do.

This is great because it draws my eye away from the president.

It has a cell phone look, where on a small screen it looks okay but on a real monitor it's mushy. Also the subject needs a bit more space around the edges.

Yeah I'd prefer it be quite a bit wider, it feels surprisingly claustrophobic. That being said, I feel like it's pretty good going by this thread's standards. The subject is clear, mostly in focus, and the saturation is only moderately cranked up.

Nah, it's pretty bad if it's getting "SHOULD BE IN A MUSEUM" type comments from some photography group.

There's a subject but no focal point or lines or interest so your eye wanders around wondering what the gently caress the photographer wanted you to look at. The pond is ugly with poo poo floating in it and the branches on the right edge demonstrate the photographer didn't give a crap about framing. The whole image is a cluttered mess and going wider is only going to bring more distractions in.

Some dweeb was walking around and was all "ohh, pink clouds!" and plopped their tripod into the pond full of confidence that SKY COLORS would get them internet fame.


There might be a good photo in there somewhere, using the four trees to frame something might be worth a try but I ain't seeing it.

Oh yeah I didn't mean to imply the picture was GOOD, just compared to the usual stuff posted in this thread it isn't completely terrible.

To be fair to idiots on twitter, not a lot of people really "get" how photography works and what real photos look like compared to edited ones. A lot of people think photography just boils down to "happen to be in the right place at the right time, point phone / expensive-looking DSLR at cool looking thing and press button" and better photos are just the result of being at a better place at a better time.

Also while those are definitely hosed up beyond belief color-wise, at least they're evoking a specific feeling similar to a vaporwave drawing. I think it's fine to explore different moods with unrealistic colors, I mean poo poo that's kind of what black and white is. The first photo has garbage composition but the second one is at least passingly laid out imo. They're not amazing but they're at least better than the loving blurry wine photo.
