>>4487920 the old kodachrome was basically iso 10, so most of these large format shots have like kilowatts of lights blasting the subjects.
anyway i do agree, nothing looks quite like it, even the 60s/70s 35mm koadchrome photos just have something special about them - no "preset" will ever capture that, and definitely no fuji recipe lol...

Why do some people genuinely not see photography as art? It has existed for over 150 years, yet people still see it as nothing more than a reproduction of a subject. We live in an age of images, where our culture is steeped in the ubiquity of photography; the camera is inside everyone's phones, and proliferates on every app. Keep that in mind when you realise that a good photograph is hard to come by; despite an inundation of images, a truly beautiful piece of art, a stunning photograph, is harder to grasp. A photographer only hopes to make about one or two genuinely good photograph in their lifetime. But even if we narrow our assessment of photography to people who buy the right gear (film cameras, full frame cameras, mirrorless cameras, ecosystems of lenses), we find another issue. How many people in the photography community can even take a masterful photograph? The worst thing I see in hobbyist photography is not necessarily a lack of passion, but a lack of vision. A family snapshot with low technical skill is only interesting to the person who took it. You can find people on Lomography, Instagram, Discord, or Reddit just post photographs that boil down to these elements: >lack of detail or sharpness >tonally flat (i.e., no tone splitting, no contrast between highlights and shadows) >no choice in colour or tones >no pre-production elements that would convey vision or ideas >centre-shot >no forethought about depth of field, especially if someone is just using the same aperture all day like Sunny 16 >noisy or grainy for no reason >no meaningful use of negative space >no sense of narrative >flat with no sense of visual hierarchy (i.e., how your eye is supposed to be guided, from point to point) >no ambiguity, so the photo is obviously just about a particular theme or subject

rivers and earthquakes create landscape. rivers are like paint pushed by the brush of a stream and earthquakes create the peaks and valleys on an oil canvas.

>>4493525 >>4493524 I like nature photography when it does more than just document pretty scenes. Pic is a decent example where the photographer creates something more than what is there through his understanding of form and composition.

>>4493129 I have a few thoughts. First, people make less shit by hand - personally - than they used to and as a result they lack respect for creative endeavor. Being bad at something creative fosters humility and appreciation for the creative efforts of others. Second, photography is more of commodity than ever before and commodities aren't very respected. Third, going back to both points, the shift from film to digital has removed every hands-on (literally) aspect of photography that doesn't involve actually holding the camera. Developing, altering and/or printing film gives you a whole different perspective on the nature of photography. Yeah you still need to git gud to consistently take good photographs but at the same time being able to take a de facto unlimited number of photographs with different settings and having the ability to fiddle some sliders on a screen (or even let the computer do it for you) and alter them with ease in ways that were unimaginable even a few decades ago is a hell of a handicap.

I bought 3 Rolls of IR sensitve BW film because just putting that in my camera is easier than converting my DSLR. Unfortunately I fucked up when buying the filter so all of the IR shots came out blank. But I still got two rolls left and I'm waiting for trees to grow leaves again and sunny days being more common to try again
Anonymous
>>4493564 Be careful my dude, a lot of automatic SLRs use a infrared light as a part of the film advance mechanisim which can fog or outright blank your IR film.
Normally I hear about fogging but it's not impossible this happened to you and it was extra bad.
Anonymous
>>4493588 The camera is fully mechanical so no worries there.
The film looks like regular BW film if you use it without a filter, so luckily I took every picture twice (to compare if I got the exposure right and get a better feel for the effect mostly) and only the ones with the filter came out blank, because I got one with the wrong wavelength.
The regular photos like picrel are fine, so the the roll wasn't completely wasted.
But I do want to caution people how sensitive this film is. I got what looks like quite a bit of light leaks well into the first few frames and I suspect it's just from handling the canister outside on a sunny day.

You can see there is some leakage at the beginning of the film as well as around the sprocket holes.
Next time I'll definitely make sure to load the film at home or at least find a nice shady spot
