No.10[View All]
We live in a time where nearly every child owns a cellphone, and where every cellphone houses a camera of considerable quality. Never has it been easier to take pictures than it is now. From grandmothers, to high school memequeens, and sub-80-IQ urban youths, everybody is snapping shots of themselves and their surroundings. Even NEETS.
Imageboards like Wizardchan and others often have their own photography generals, where the userbase of isolated and alienated nobodies use their tremendous amount of free time to document reality in artistic and aesthetically pleasing ways through the medium of the artificial eye.
Hopefully this thread will encourage our own inhabitants to stretch their artistic muscles and learn to think creatively visually. The picture in this post is the first photo ever taken. Captured by the Frenchman Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826 at his estate in Burgandy, this blurry vision would change the world. It gave human beings the ability to truly see the world, as another human being sees it, not as an abstraction, or a representation, but as a real documentation of life from another man's eyes.
So Anon, what does life look like from your eyes?

>>1298>Really like thatThanks, spend some time in it as it was taken in pretty rocky conditions.
>Wonder what the old guy is reading.Checking the original pic i recognized the paper, it's a small local version of a newspaper called "The Truth", he seems to be reading the lower part of the front.
>>1300That third pic is very cool, somehow i seem to have ended with a bunch of old arch magazines and i always liked some of the old editing so i tried to replicate that with it.
I think i went too strong on the whites because i wanted to burn the sky for an eerie feeling, so i also burned some of the shadows to give it a harsh light ambience and added some pretentious film soft grain to hide some of the noise and give it an extra touch of old mag pic.
There's still some nasty corner distortion on the right but that's how some zoom cameras work, but i think that angle and position was the best possible one, good eye.

>>1358Don't worry, equipment for the most part is a meme unless it's very specific like super telephoto, ultra wide angle or macro ranges. Or also +4000th of a second shutter speeds, which are useful to be fair.
Composition usually still tops anything.
Very 70's bathroom style by the way, reminds me of my own when i was a living with me granny.
>>1359That too, but the soil seems very limey and clay-ish which is not potato's favorite, still it might be that or at least a mushroom cellar.

>>1361Stellar photos, The first one gives me 1910's movie test footage vibes. I think it comes from the placement of the mirror and the blurring of the background, but it's extremely effective. Awesome job

>>1880APS-C has 3:2 too if that's what you mean, only MFT is different. Or maybe you were taking about 4x5.
My guess because of the Lapovac thing is that it was some Slav anon making fun of himself so that would explain the car.
No.1883
>>1882>Or maybe you were taking about 4x58x10 is the usual pretentious landscape ratio due to medium format but 3:2 and even, dare i say it, 4:3 work just as well. It all comes down to composition despite what filmfags say.
>Slav anon making fun of himself so that would explain the car. I could really use a 00's Easytronic Chevy desu, self-hating slavs for the sake of westernizing is weird. Also i thought slavs had Opel cars rather than Chevies.
