Any love for the Game Boy Camera and printer here?
Sure nowadays even the chinkest of cameras and printers may be better with printing via phone bigger and clearer photos but there's a certain charm and fun in doing with with a Game Boy of all things.

What is it with people that shoot on film?
Film is expensive to film, develop and scan.

Yet what do they do? They film the most mundane bullshit.
Traffic lights. Or some mediocre bullshit to some obscure indie song.

Why do they all do this?

If you're gonna spend hundreds of dollars. Atleast film something good. But it's like they think the vintage aesthetic will make their shit good.

It's like they just want to see what their mundane boring life would look like on film.

The findings reveal that landscape pictures on Instagram echo Romantic era paintings, using similar motifs and aesthetic strategies. Instagrammers, like 19th-century Romantic painters, emphasize themes of solitude, mystification, sublimity, and nostalgia, contrasting sharply with contemporary issues like ecological crises. By staging and aesthetically transforming nature, Instagrammers medially reverse the destruction of nature and create idealized landscapes that evoke a bygone, pre-industrial era and an intact human-nature relationship. Accordingly, landscape images on Instagram can be interpreted as a new idealized, romantic reality or as a postmodern reinvention of Romanticism. Instagrammers seek out photo locations based on their ability to synthesize as many physical elements as possible into an ‘instagrammable’ scenery, creating a stereotypical romantic landscape image.

Alright, /p/. I got my first nice camera JUST IN TIME for a 2-week vacation where I shot over 14,000 photos in various levels of motion, light, and subject type. Throughout my trip I experimented a lot and really started to internalize the exposure triangle to the point where I'm perfectly comfortable shooting manual without any confusion or issues.

At this point, I feel like I've learned enough that I just need to practice practice practice, but I have almost zero experience with post-processing photos. I have over a decade of casual experience with Adobe programs, so I'm at least familiar with image stuff, but it was mostly UX design and motion graphics. I'm a bit colorblind, so I fear I'll never be able to do any decent color grading, but I'd really like to start dipping my toes into post-processing photos so I can start shooting in super low light, and generally just touching up my favorite shots.

What tips do you have for a beginner here? What software, workflow, techniques, etc. do you use, and what things should you always do, or avoid doing in post?

How important is it to study photography through the library? What books do you recommend for beginners? What are the best photo books?
