Megabound posted:I like this the most out of everything you've posted but the edit let's it down. funny, coz to me that’s the photo that is maybe the most boring and ordinary, except for the fact it’s probably a different landscape to what most on this forum are used to regarding the “fixing” of the edit. idk.. just kinda looks like any other photo I’ve literally had models message me and tell me they love the “film style” I do. thats gotta mean something lol

Ren Hang's work can't be divorced from the culture he lived in and what kind of expression is allowed and accepted in it. An exploring of sexuality in the PRC is something very different to that same exploration elsewhere.

echi i think you have good composition but we have different styles and like different things and that’s fine composition is all that matters anyway, everything else is just detail

i don't take pictures in raw mode cause it's enough of a pain to delete the egregious photos and import the rest. i can't imagine also wanting to do Real Processing on a regular basis am i making a terrible mistake? i don't really know what kind of adjustments raw would let me do that i can't do on jpgs. i know they exist but no further details

beeftweeter, you seem to know a lot about micro four-thirds hardware... I'm looking to upgrade my camera body, any suggestions as to a cheap (used?) option that gets me a better sensor than what I have now? I'm currently using an ancient Panasonic Lumix GX1 that I got used in 2015 for $160, and it's served me well over the years, but the sensor shows its age if you get into the higher ISO levels, and there's zero in-body image stabilization, which sometimes makes it challenging to use my favorite lens, which is... Beeftweeter posted:panasonic also makes a pancake 20mm portrait that my wife has, it's not quite as fast as the 25mm (i don't remember offhand but i think it's f/1.9) but it's a good lens too I had been hoping that I could just go and score another old-but-newer body for <$200 like I've done before, but it looks like used camera prices are a lot higher now than they were last time I shopped? The GX7, which is the next model after mine but still almost a decade old at this point, seems to still be going for close to $300 on ebay. I guess I'm willing to pay more than I did last time around, but are there any sweet spots in the micro 4/3 camera body market? I definitely don't need a lot of bells and whistles, just a higher quality sensor than I have now (which includes... just about everything made in the last decade, probably)

I'm looking to upgrade my camera body, any suggestions as to a cheap (used?) option that gets me a better sensor than what I have now? there's a massive difference in sensor quality between those generations my wife also has a GX1, i'm guessing she picked up the lens around the same time you did. it's not terrible per se but it's a huge step down from my g85, which would be around the same generation as a gx7 (afaik the g7/g75 are, technically, though) i've also read very good things about the g95, but that's pretty new. i think general wisdom re: price/performance still holds true though, i picked up a g100 about a year ago, it was dirt cheap and it's kinda mediocre all around

if youre gonna gently caress it up you might as well start from the source https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xnMZ5tAZYFndYy4zrRTgMDg8LdHAvPSS/view?usp=share_link Beeftweeter posted:lol hes got ya there echi how? I made the artistic choice to present the photo the way I did on purpose. it was a bleak day, one of the wettest in 2022, it was drizzling like mad up there, the visibility was poor, and the way I presented it represents those feelings, as far as I am concerned. and (of course) includes raising the blacks, something I do to almost every photo because I think it looks better  mother fuckers in this thread act as if they have objectively superior opinions on something inherently subjective being able to see more detail, or being able to see something more clearly, is an artistic choice, not the default, and it's not always the best choice either. I appreciate the opinions of others and I still have a lot to learn, but I am also developing my own style, that is different to others. If I just followed the opinions of others, my photos would look like theirs. it's one of the reasons I am not too fussed on 35-50mm lenses for portraits, every man and their dog uses one

 There's a lot to like about this photograph, the dead grass, the shrouding fog, the manmade structures disappearing into the natural surroundings. It's already cold an uninviting. I find your edit just makes it muddy, needlessly reducing detail and texture that draws the viewer to look more closely. I like the detail on the wall of the structure, how it falls into darkness, the glimpse of base. I kept it a little bit warm, but not as warm as you had it as that eases that brightness a bit, makes it less stark. Anyway, that's how I'd edit it. It's a good photo.

I appreciate the analysis, and justification for how you’ve edited it. and thankyou. you definitely do a deeper dive, and look closer at what’s going on than I do. I suspect my profound lack of patience leads me to often viewing a photo as a single entity and deriving some kind of vibe or aesthetic from it: or maybe I’m just full of poo poo and have no insight into why I think the way I do purely for interests sake here’s basically the same shot but on a nice day. it’s much less interesting

i also like the fog photo, i think it's one of the best you've posted. i don't mind the crushed blacks as much either, it works with the fog. i would still like a bit more contrast, it is quite muddy, but it's a photo where you don't need the blackest blacks and whitest whites. if i were editing it i'd probably go somewhere between yours and the other edits. that sunny day photo is a good example of where it doesn't work for me - bright sunshine has strong highlights and dark shadows, it looks weird with such grey shadows some dusk fog that i shot a while back
