>>4081699>Proper exposure is achieved via dodge and burn, I'm talking zone system not 18% gray.I mean, you should, because you failed even at 18% gray. I'm not seeing where you would dodge and burn your piece of shit photo to improve it. Baby steps my guy. Learn to get a basic exposure first and then you can worry about your master stroke dodging and burning.
>better to be a nophotoYou are the only person saying this.
>That doesn't solve the reverse search problem [...] if you give them the chance they dox you.This only happens when you have bad, retarded opinions. Again, 16 years, lots of opinion posts, no doxxing.
>This place is much deader than you realize. Few dozen active users posting photos would be a generous estimate. It's not 2014 anymore.Nah, check exif data in the RPT. There are lots of unique camera and lens combos. Even still, there aren't a few dozen doxxings, so your point is still moot.
>That's because I don't dump everything I take on the public. And because some pictures I share only privately. There's pictures by me that only a handful of people have seen. I gatekeep my own output.That's because you're self-satisfied with sub-standard work and you think that no one "gets" you.
They get you. You're just not a very good photographer because you've convinced yourself from the outset that you should only take the photos that present themselves to you. This is a tautology. If you're a bad, inexperienced photographer, you will only see bad photos. Take many more photos and you will learn how to turn the mundane into something wonderful. You're not gatekeeping your output, you're gatekeeping your input, but you're not yet qualified to do that.
