Get a photo of a celebrity doing something wild.
Sell it to the biggest agency.

In fine art photography, it would be a case of becoming a renown photographer. Being widely published. Receiving critical accreditation for years. Then acquiring a gallerist who would be willing to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in promoting you and helping you to produce work by paying for it to be printed and distributed. Then you might produce a work which a company, syndicate, or wealthy individual might pick up at auction for over a mil.
But its rare. You are about 100 times more likely to make a million by literally dumping photography right now and starting painting.

Take multiple images, changing ISO, aperture, exposure time, position, angle, etc.
You will have so many duplicates of the image with slight variations, but there will at least be one that looks good.

Spot on. I did this plus the sun f/11 rule back on the Nikon D40 days, when old AI lenses got no metering on camera so you're forced to do the math in your head. Eventually I got to a point where I was nailing exposure 50% of the time, or getting in the ballpark for most of the other half. I learned more about photography in those days than in all the rest combined, limitations are always fun

There’s something else that happened too. Sometime around the D2x-D800, DSLR’s got smart enough to make up for a shitty photographer, but then when mirrorless came out it set them back a bit and it took til now to catch up. When I look at what I shot at that time with those old cameras, they are still the best fucking images I’ve ever shot, artistically. …and I didn’t know DICK. I just knew comp, color etc bc I was a graphic designer. But what the fuck my camera was doing, no clue. 15 years of reading and classes and 40k worth of gear & all the lighting shit & a library of photo books later, and my photos… eh, they’re fine, technically quality, but I’ve shot nothing that jumps out, or looks as consistently distinct as those early shots on my fucking D2x & D810 set probably on auto. They all come up in my screen saver and there’s a world of difference stylistically. It should be much more fucking embarrassing than it is.

This kinda happened to me and a couple of friends, it just means you reached a technical level of a pro but also the mind of a drone faggot pro cunt who delivers perfectly good product but nothing that he really likes or cares about, the kind of guy who can answer the hows but not the single why.
If you shoot on auto or something you like (aperture or shutter priority) and just go for photos you like but don't know why you will probably find again your inner, real tastes. The trick is to not overthink, just see shit you like and quickly take a pic, if you start wondering how to perfect the settings then you will bust your mind, just check the composition and there's that.

You are confused about the D2x, which takes a skillled and intellegent photographer to get consistantly successful pictures from it.

So far your only standards seem to be talking shit and stealing other people's credit.

I still had RAWs on my camera so I quickly re-edited the photo again, this time without any denoising applied, just +0.5 or so stops of exposure and some +200 WB, same I did before.
That's it.
Now it's your turn to pixel peep and tell everyone how denoising my photo with some evil AI algorithms completely transformed/ruined it.
Cause what I see, is that denoising made it slightly better while reducing the filesize by half, because noise = additional visual information that cannot be optimized easily by JPEG's algorithms.
So not only do you make you photos worse by not denoising them, you are also being a cunt to everyone else who has to download your noise for no good reason.
This simple truth was preached here before you were even born, probably.

don't sweat it anon. I've almost wasted an entire roll of Phoenix with this being the average photo. Harman Phoenix does not have a great exposure latitude. Every shadow is exacerbated until everything becomes a mess.

I would also recommend a c-stand with extension for your light. I have 3 and some super clamp clones that are extremely useful for setting up good light for my still lifes. The neewer ones are not too expensive and are quite strong.

If you have a set of them you can also use them for holding up backdrops, strobes, etc. They're really nice to have if you've got the space.

For example this shot >>4475663 I used one to hold my light pointed at a bounce card held up by another, and then the third one held a piece of cloth directly to the side of my subject. On the opposite side I used a tripod that held another bounce card to lighten up the shadows.

Is neewer stuff actually reasonable? I think I was looking at polarising filters from them some time back. Not that I suppose it matters much for holding up bounce cards. Might have to look at something a bit smaller though (no space).

Something to keep in mind is that quality that is displayed can change in the future and you can always lower quality but not get it back. So if you ever take some photos you love and have them in shit quality, they're shit quality forever.

You can also get higher quality pictures on Instagram if you start with smaller images. So if you compressed the photo yourself to say 500x500 and used 95 quality, it will pretty much be that when you upload it.
