What the actual hell is wrong with my editing and photo something looks very wrong in the photo and I can’t decide on what it is I’m trying to get like a vibe Juno claspo but it doesn’t really fit that vibe

Some photos I took for a friend in Oregon a while back - any good?

I'm gonna attend a wedding on saturday and i want to shoot some film. It's an african wedding, so there will be loads of bright colors and warm hues. I shoot with a Point and shoot camera (pentax iqzoom), but i own a SLR (Nikon fg 20). I have never shot with an slr camera, and i have no clue how they work. But i reckon the pictures look better on an slr. I have two dilemmas at hand
>I don't know which film stock is good for capturing warm hues
>I don't know if i should try out the slr camera (or if i should play it safe)

i want to capture something reminiscent of picrel

I am looking for a first camera, would something like this guarantee significantly better quality pics than Iphone 12, or not at all?

Are fujiworms still a thing?
Did fujifilm fix the issue?

I see a pattern. One of making the world increasingly drab to demoralize the people. Look up their early lives.

I want to share a small project I have been working on for the last few weeks. It is a self-portrait mini-series called "Authentic Sinner," inspired by the fresco of Giotto called Virtues and Vices. I tried to find the five vices that represented me the most, although I am also trying to respond to society's vices as a whole, as well as the representation of the vices in the history of art. This is obviously an ambitious project for a first-time series and was not executed professionally, but I learned a lot about executing a concept in the process... I was a bit camera shy at first but learned to perform, direct myself, and shoot with a self-timer. The outcome could have been better, upon reflection, but I am happy that I tried my hand at a creative project.
Please be as honest in your critiques as possible. I was told to work more on my angles, try to make the still life less flat by pivoting the camera more, to use dutch angles, finding better backdrops, as well as learn how to arrange a still life (mine is lacklustre). I will retake the final self-portrait (Infidelitas) because it isn't how I want it, but the prototype is good enough to show how I want it to be presented, as a (cross-shaped) polyptych.
Self portraiture is a really fascinating genre and I hope anons try to take it up in their spare time. It's a great way to express yourself and learn more about the artistic, reflexive, and ruminative sides of photography. I learned a lot about myself and the methodology of photography in the process.
If I have time, I will finish the last two sins: Inconstancy and Foolishness, but I think they bleed into the rest of the vices in the theatrical and carnivalesque ways in which I performed.

I would like a small, retro style camera for hobbyist / snap shitting type photography. Image quality is important to me, but not the end all, be all. I do not want a full frame type camera such as the ZF. I already have a D850, and actually owned a ZF for several months, before getting rid of it as the lack of grip and overall hugeness made it very unfun to walk around and shoot with. Between the OM-5 and some Fuji cam, which is the best choice?

I feel like they're a powerful tool in a photograph.

How is every photo with him in it a work of art?
