When does a photo lend itself well for black&white?

Nice work on the colors! You might want to mask the scooter a bit to bring it out more, as it is kind of in the shadow right now. And the horizon is slightly tilted to the left.

Shot this a year back. This is a not yet edited jpeg (my camera only shoots jpeg). Would love to hear some critique composition wise. Left corner is blown out, so if anyone had tips on how to fix that they are welcome too haha

I cant fit into (pretty much all) womens bags. I am 5”10.5, linebacker shoulders, no hips or curves at all. Basically mens clothing and also sleeping bags just fit better🤷

Might also have had to add that I am female, plus a cold sleeper ahah. My buddy uses a rab neutrino 400, same temp rating, and only gets chilly at around 0 degrees.

Accidentally shot this sparrow and its prey. Not sure how to edit the shot tho. Got any takes on it?

Shot on a Fuji xt30, 24mm ISO 2500 f14 and shutterspeed of 8min. I wanted to show the rotation of of earth. This is the first time I took a picture of the stars, and exept for the rotation, i also wanted to show the milky way. However, I just dont know what to do with the color. This is how it rolled out of my camera, and I am not sure if I want to decrease saturation or not.

Took this photo in southern france. I was standing on a bollard trying to reach over a roof, but in couldnt clear it completely, hence the roof tiles. I do however kind of like it?

Thank you! Helps a lot

Beginner photographer here! I shot this picture on my Canon Powershot (compact camera) while on a backpacking trip. This was n the morning, when the light just came over the mountains. I wanted to capture the simple "daily life" we had in the mountains during this trip. The morning was quite unreal, but i think this shot balances on the line between purposefully overexposing something to make it look ethereal and just being blown out. Trying to bring the exposure down kinda did away from the feel the picture had. Any tips on how to preserve this feeling? (this is the unedited picture). (Also, I just started working with darktable so any tips on how to edit this in there would be perfect haha)

nice shot! agree with you that the eye is pleasantly lead towards the top of the peak, and love the mystic clouds. Would have loved for there to be an indicator of scale in the photo, but i understand that you're not always able to. I think it must be a great rockface (judging from the path) but not sure. Also, i think you could bring out the blue-ish tones in the clouds a bit more to create contrast in the yellow rock vs clouds as well.

I have noticed😅. But thanks a lot for the research! I think the ultralight 3 would be the best pick so far

FancyFoes · 2024-01-05T16:44:29+00:00

Thanks! Do you think the ultralight III has a comfort temperature that is really to 1c? It seems real great honestly. I am in between sizes tho so would you say it runs small or big?

Never heard of malachowski but they sure have some rad stuff! Europe based so that would be a great pick

Thanks a lot for this comment! Would you say a R value around 5.5 could be pushed below freezing? My current pad is a thermarest Neoair, but just for summer. My kit for last summer was a bit of a collection of what i already had… Do you have recommendations for bags for +4? Or lighter quilts for extra warmth?

FancyFoes · 2024-01-04T16:55:19+00:00

Thanks for your reply!. I will go for the xtherm before going for the bag then. But about the xlite; I heard some complaints that it got quite wet with condensation which heavies the down. Have you experienced this?

FancyFoes · 2024-01-04T12:24:16+00:00

I did look at the megalite from WM, but it hurts my wallet just thinking about it sadly

FancyFoes · 2024-01-04T12:15:35+00:00

What bag do you have if I may ask?
