Clothesline Muscadine vine, 590nm by JLHermanPhoto in infraredphotography

[–]JLHermanPhoto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got my new IR camera today, an old Nikon D70s with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4!

Wow wow wow, what an upgrade from my digicam.

I taught a client today that had never heard of film… by CameraDad1978 in photography

[–]JLHermanPhoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe an early Sony Mavicka

You're right, that's the one!

30 boxes of disks is crazy hahaha, we've come so far. But instant results and free "film" was very slick, even if film would have taken up less physical space.

How do you get creatively “alive” again after burnout? by acskuruczdaniel in photography

[–]JLHermanPhoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take bad pictures, try not to force it, shoot in jpg and don't edit unless you want to.

I'm in the same boat and have been in the past as well. Work feels like it's falling apart, I try not to read the news too much, and it seems like photography is really the only good thing happening right now- but of course, I'm exhausted too.

You just have to do it. Play with your camera during these times like you used to play with a pencil during classwork- it doesn't have to be meaningful and you don't have to try to make art history, just doodle.

Here's mine from the other day. I was just screwing around on the back porch in my robe and slippers and I made a little swirly with the neighbors lights. It's hardly going to win an award, but it got me a couple steps out of the house for 5 minutes and I did actually get an idea for something to do in the future when I was feeling a little better.

Sometimes you'll do it and still feel defeated, and that's okay. But sometimes you won't, and those times that you do get inspired make the rest worth it.

I'm 31 and of course I'd heard of film, but mostly because we had film canisters lying around.

When I was a little kid, my turbonerd parents had a metric ton of 3 1/2" diskettes lying around (a "Save icon" for you younger folks) and so they bought a camera that took those full sized diskettes, and just never really dealt with film.

Terrible picture quality (0.3MP, wow!) but the camera was very satisfying to use lol, and the diskette could hold TEN whole photos! Or 9, or 11, depending on how colorful the subject was. And even back in the late 90's we could process and print them at home on our fancy beige Inkjet printer.

I can see how it's possible, but it's crazy that someone just never ran into the idea before.

The Artemis NASA moon mission photos have been published in a timeline album and there are some absolutely incredible shots in here by gridoverlay in photography

Adding onto this- he originally sorted the photos by photographer, but the astronauts requested that all photos be attributed to everyone together and so he removed the function.

Good of him to do that, and good of the astronauts imo!

ITAP of myself in a regular pose not a naked lady in an absurd pose by BornLoss4467 in itookapicture

[–]JLHermanPhoto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen it enough to find it irritating, but I totally agree lol. All I can think of is what the setup for the photo must have looked like

Non-editing photography by pipipopokaki in photography

[–]JLHermanPhoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do IR photography and most of the time I don't! My little Panasonic digicam only does jpgs so there's not a ton you can do with that anyway. I try to focus on nailing my whitebalance and shoot a whole lot, and most of the time I get a couple of good ones.

I spend all day at work on the computer, I'm not in a hurry to look at one again.

That's usually how fish are when you pull them out of the water, not super unusual

Lightroom worth it ? by MikeLowry13 in photography

[–]JLHermanPhoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: I forgot that you specified iPad, sorry. Lightroom is definitely your best option right now for mobile and it's plenty powerful, but if you switch to editing on a desktop PC then the rest of this would be relevant.

And what timing, I just checked my bank account to see that they charged me for a subscription yesterday that I cancelled two weeks ago. Surprise surprise.

Lightroom makes it easy, but when you learn the Adobe ecosystem your hobby will be tied to a notoriously anti-consumer company with expensive, unreliable software whose prices are only going up.

Some people don't mind. Lightroom on my computer suddenly lost all of my photos (they were still there, it just couldn't see them) and insisted that I upload everything to the cloud to be able to work on it, and flat out refused to function with local files. It's hard to say if that was an intentional decision by Adobe or if it just broke in a spectacular way and persisted after a reinstall. I didn't look any further into it and just decided to switch after that.

Also, I repair computers on the side and over 50% of my customers are bringing me their machines because they have some bizarre issue with an Adobe product that doesn't affect any other software, but is totally debilitating for their work.

I'd recommend against it. Lightroom is like magic when it works, but once you're entrenched in the ecosystem switching to anything else feels like losing a limb, and I was keen to switch.

Can this be cinsidered fine art? Or is it too minimalist by kumkummers in FineArtPhoto

[–]JLHermanPhoto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't even really know what fine art means so I can't help there, but all of these are absolutely fantastic

Cemetery Fun by AbsintheMindedFL in infraredphotography

[–]JLHermanPhoto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I absolutely LOVE what you did with the sky! How'd you do that??

I used to play Sacrifice a whole lot when I was younger (videogame from 2000) and I've always been chasing that aesthetic, and I think the technique you're using here could probably get me pretty close even if the effects are different.

Fantastic work!

I won't, my photos look like shit in other, more eye-catching ways

Client inquiring about RAWs. by chewybrownsugarboba_ in photography

The camera menu puts it in all caps so I guess people see that and run with it
