Most photography isn't art. But that doesn't matter, because it's able to do things art rarely can. Photography is a vial for a memory, it makes the intangible tangible. This feature is even more potent in black and white photography. Even more potent if there's some motion blur. So don't be sad your "snapshit" will never be art, be glad that you captured what your eyes could only see for a split second just for it to vanish into nonexistence. Advocates of cineslop say it's sculpting in time. Photography is making time meaningless, cutting right through it and spitting in the face of Chronos. That's why La Jetée is genius, beneath the superficial time travel argument lies the fact that photography is how we travel in time. It's how we make the fleeting eternal. Just think of how the accounts of deja vu phenomena skyrocketed after the introduction of photography, it literally pierces the matrix of time in the minds of those who experience it. I'm certain that if we one day gain the ability to control time, photography will be a huge part of that. Time is first and foremost about perception and only photography has what it takes to train the brain to be able to take charge and go from passive observer to being the one in control.

Sup guys, I just got back digitals of my first successful reel. I've never been good at taking photos but this camera makes it feel special enough to hook me and make me want to get better.

What's the excuse for literally all mirrorless bodies not having built in ND filters as a feature?

Took this photo of a cute lovely bird

Why do so many, if not all, "gear doesn't matter" phototubers, have super expensive cameras, usually full frame?

>want to shoot nudes

How do you compete with this?

what's /p/ like? I just got into this for like a month now, a friend led me his film camera and I found out that I enjoy film photography a lot, largely probably has to do with the fact that I love movies and Adam Curtis's documentaries.

Anyway I just wanna know what is it like on this board. what's up homies. any tips on film photography? here is one of my shot of my first ever roll! (it's a shot of cowe near my place)

I'm trying to seriously learn about photography as art, and I'm reading, but I just don't get it
Take A Sea of Steps for instance, I'm reading this primer and it says:
>"Remarkable for its composition and sense of light and space, the photograph conveys the climbing up the stairs, as if analogous to ascending toward the divine serenity symbolized by the illuminated archway"
>"he vertical lines of the columns rise out of the curve of the steps that seem to flow and swell like ocean waves; what Evans' called "a sea of steps."
Like, I don't get it. I just don't get composition, what they mean by form and structure, I DON'T GET IT

What three pieces of advice would you give a photographer who wants to take bad photos?
