yeah the only reason i use amazon photos is because we already get it with our prime subscription. it’s just a cold storage backup for me anyway.

Personally I just ended up getting my own nas and having a backblaze backup.

I was going back thru some old photo shoots from last year and man I enjoy to do them. I enjoy looking at the old photos, I enjoy doing the photoshoots. I enjoy the bokeh on a person Have like two shoots that are imminent, maybe next week or so, before daylight savings in April, because then there is no light after work and severely limits opportunities drat winter. I did NOT make the most of summer and the late nights as far as using them to do a photoshoot. that’s my story

i took the day off work. went to lunch with ms jones, and she was like "ok we're gonna go up the road a little so you can get some snow-on-the-peaks pictures before it all goes away." i suspect that none of them will actually be Good Photos, but hey it was fun

echinopsis posted:sometimes photography gets my rear end out of bed to go see a sunrise or something else that I otherwise might not have yeah! case in point, as i was walking down the road, i had to cross a little bridge. on the way back, i noticed that i could get down there pretty easily, so i got to take some pictures of running water in socal (pretty rare), of the mudflat type thing where a bunch of things got washed away from the recent storms, and of the graffiti that was done under the bridge. i never would've found that if i hadn't been walkin down the road taking pictures of mountains. it was cool then we ate the sushi

(well lol hope that last part happens) but maybe the photos are a piece of poo poo lol

lightroom is very bad at displaying noise (from the noise slider) as it would be if it was rendered out it seems to do it properly at around 55% or closer, and if you hold down shift and slowly zoom out from 60 to 50 or so with an image with lots of noise added in post you can see what I mean (it's subtle) I had an older version for a while, after 55% it wouldn't show noise at all, I finally looked into it and it was a bug that was fixed in new editions so I finally upgraded BUT while it does now show noise at zooms that fit the whole photo in your display, the noise is not accurate, it's not the same as it would be if you hit render. lame. at least it IS better I opened lightoom to a photo I had open and my first thought was "god drat I put a lot of noise on that, better turn it way the gently caress down", but when I hit develop, it reverted back to what I had set it to older versions this wasn't a problem. just chatting about the important things in this thread

 I have this point and shoot at home that my mum used to use for taking trademe(nz ebay) photos it takes photos. it harks back to a day when cameras had phone but some people still believed a budge dedicated camera would be a good choice I do mean to take it with me when I go out because it takes ok video but it has a proprietary charger which is bullshit and makes me feel like I can’t take it out without the charge cable (it plugs into usb-a it could have just been mini or micro or whatever goddamn it) anyway maybe I should also take pics and share them in this community

Sagebrush posted:that's just washing out the shadows. it's what happens when you try to pull an image out of a drastically underexposed negative. i think that's a big part of why it looks ~vintage~ -- all those lovely photos your mom and dad took with a point-and-shoot in poo poo lighting that the photo lab tried to recover. they have this look it also has to me, a look that it's matte. literally like it's been printed on matter paper and you're looking at it. idk I don't think it's some psychology behind why I like it like it makes me remember a time where life was carefree or anything. I don't like it because it looks vintage, I like it because I prefer the aesthetic. my tastes might be objectively wrong, but theyre also really good

Those powershots are cool because you can put chdk on them and get RAW files out of them, which are surprisingly good, all they need is some color noise reduction
