Vol. [Re]Start.2
Please Don't Ask Me What Camera Edition

With the fall of Tetenal it feels like film photography has an expiration date. So I caved and bought a digital camera.

Went out yesterday for a test run, I think it went pretty well. This is kind of a mini thread for now but I'm going on a trip this weekend so hopefully I'll be adding to it soon!

p.s. pls forgive the varying crop ratios, still adjusting to this camer's vf coverage

Composition is mostly good but boring and uninteresting photos.
Whatever camera you have, you don't deserve.

I would take these, throw away the rest, and then build on this series. Make a series highlighting the variations in style and color of loading docks. Find interesting scenes with loading docks in the back.

With the other random shots mixed in, it just looks like you lack focus.

if they want to make a series out of these they need to be consistent with format ratio first
the relationship between the frame and the elements is bilateral, you don't just frame around the elements, the frame also affects how the elements are viewed
a long rectangular one usually conveys drama, while square stillness - there's no movement or pulling
as such mixing squares and rectangles creates a disruption in perspective, chronology, and the artist's intent (or perception thereof)
too incoherent to make for a series

i know op has been doing this for a while, but porposedly or not they are still inconsistent with ratios, so their stuff are still as jarring as the first time they posted on /p/
oh well whatever

This is a board to share photos, so when everyone is taking photos of the same thing, there's nothing separating this guys photos from literally anyone else's.
If you want a board to keep on posting the same exact photos everyday with no new variations, then that sounds really bad on your part.
I won't deny his skill, but these subjects are just nothing.

Hi everyone, Op here, I didn’t expect things to get so divisive in here

For the record these are basically just some test photos, never meant for them to be that great, but just wanted to share with you guys. The crop ratios are definitely a lot more varied than they usually are and that’s due to my own learning curve with this cam’s vf.

I do agree that constraining to a single format is useful for series, but to answer the anon’s question, I have had differences in ratio in the past due to the fact that I switch between different film formats a lot. I haven’t yet felt inspired to zero on one format to do an actual series, I just enjoy having the variety. I do mostly use square/2:3 though.

No he doesn't, his style is extremely basic.

>newtopographer
This is extremely low level newtopo, every great newtopo photo, whether it comes from a pro or amateur all share 2 common traits.
Those traits are purpose and interest.
These images don't have purpose, they don't convey a meaning.
Newtopo is already about manmade landscape, so how do you take it further?
What meaning were you intending to convey with the particular picture of the landscape?
Industrial zones are usually great, but these images aren't of any meaningful sections in that zone.
An empty loading lot that's already closed doesn't convey any meaning.
The second trait is way more important. You could forgive a photo of not being purposeful if the subject is at least interesting.
These images aren't interesting not on merits of the photographer alone, who clearly has skill, but because nothing about the subject is captivating, new, or thought provoking.

Newtopo featuring old style city layouts, rundown cities, uncommon city layouts, capitalistic commentary, documenting something historical, a landscape that that is political, or any image demonstrating a greater theme.
While these photos were taken well, they don't qualify for any of the foundational qualities for a basic level newtopo photo.

Why do I get the impression that you're talking out of your ass?
It may be because you're not looking at the photos themselves, but instead at an ideal while saying "these photos don't match this ideal". If you're going to critique photos, look at the photos themselves first

YES THIS WAS THE INTIAL IDEA BUT THE LATER WORK OF NEWTOPOGRAPHERS EVOLVED INTO MORE BANALITY AND COLOR, BALANCE, VALUE AND TECHNICALITY.
THE NEWTOPOGRAPHS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE "INTERESTING".

THIS IS NEWTOPO
LETS IMPLY IF ITS NOT THEN WHO GIVES A FUCK DESU. THESE ARE JUST GOOD PHOTOGRAPHS.
ALSO GO TELL THIS PILES BULLSHITE TO LEWIS FUCKING BALTZ WHO SHOT WALLS, WINDOWS AND CORNERS ALL OF HIS LIFE.
