Photography - Sperging about taking pictures and shit

Here's a few choice shots I got from EVO this year:

Oh hey, a photography thread! I use a Canon EOS 1300D (because I'm cheap — I used to have a 1200D until I lost in in Sea-Tac on a stopover), and three lenses — the 18-55mm kit lens, a 50mm prime and a 70-300mm zoom lens. I use GIMP for post-processing, though I don't tend to do much with the photos except tweak the curves a little.

@NotAKitty I'm glad you finally found this thread, my dude.

Although I have an appreciation for almost all photography, my favourite genres are landscapes, concerts, and documentary photography.

I really like the work of Lu Guang, unfortunately, he's reported to have gone missing. Most likely he was tortured by the CCP. ;(

Don McCullin is another photographer I really like. I personally prefer landscape photos in colour, but they still look wonderful.

What I wouldn't give to be able to work in a darkroom again. Even if I built one (I've got a couple enlargers in storage) I don't know if I could acquire all of the chemicals and supplies anymore without paying an arm and a leg.

My Uni has a dark room. I would go in there by myself for hours to perfect my technique. Unfortunately, it's been closed due to COVID 19 restrictions. Doesn't help that tier 3 is heading in.

With regards to film development Cinestill has a nifty monobath (for b/w only) available that greatly simplifies things, roughly 20 - 27 USD from B&H. It's great if you want to get started, or get back into DIY development.

Having only worked with B/W film and prints, you've got a decent selection of fixers, stops, and developers to buy from stores. There's even non-toxic environmentally-friendly ones available, if you're concerned about disposing of chemicals.

I've got a couple of DIY recipes from old photography books written in the 70s/80s, though I'm not sure if they're practical to use anymore, considering that online stores are a thing now.

favorite photographer right now is Eric Kogan. His photos are simple but always have humor, or a creative thunk. It's something even before seeing his stuff I strove for. always deep in my heart I'll love Alex Burke, even before I learned hes a frequent /p/ poster. He's Ansel Adams in color.
personally i shoot digital and analogue, portraits and landscapes, old lenses, new lenses, just anything but never really sticking with something. Probably the reason I've stuck with photography for so long as a hobby is because there's always something new to try or learn.

I really enjoy editing penises into pictures of people I don't like, usually in their hand or in another position that would suggest either fellatio taking place, or having just taken place. Does that count? I think it should be considered transformative work.

Non-toxic is neat. But I always wore my permanently stained fingertips with pride.

I've got a unfinished section of the basement that I've always wanted to turn into a darkroom/studio. Maybe I should get on that.

While I'm mostly into photography I also really like a bit of video but idk what I'd like to shoot. Visual effects and graphic design are of interest. Camera wise, I use a nikon d7500 and reused d700. I also use a lumix g80 for timelapse.

Nice! The second one is my favourite. What gear and filters did you use?

I was happy to see this thread is still active. During lockdown I've had the time to scan a ton of old negatives and browse KF. The work mostly consists of filing. The next part is sequencing, finding pictures that go well together and colour correcting them to more or less match in tone and feel. It was cool to read that some of you still do darkroom photography. Haven't done so for a while but it would be fun to get back into.

These are the Snowbirds performing their aerial acrobatics on Canada Day, 2019.

Edit: Don't normally care for pigeons but the lenses on the Minolta are fantastic. If you can get hold of late 80's Minoltas at a garage sale or on eBay you'll be having some fun.

Oh, fine.

Here are a few pretentious black-and-white shots I took the November before the pandemic.

Something about the placement of the mannequins in the last shot reminded me of the planets aligning in 2001: A Space Odyssey. I dunno if I communicated it that well, I prefer to be very surreptitious when taking shots in stores (because you're usually not supposed to).

Here's some snapshits from my hike this morning, The first three were on the way back down the trail hence the position of the sun in each photo. I need to work on my bracketing but these gave me some good ideas for next time.
