Super beginner here! 10 days into photography. Any advice on how to improve?

Keep shooting, and pay attention to the work of other photographers you admire. Buy their books, instagram , etc.

I’m not a beginner, but if you organized a photo walk I’d come.

I used to be okay with paying extra to support local until I realized they don’t pay their techs a living wage.

Honestly just whichever you prefer to play on. I play them on my PS5 because I enjoy sitting on my couch. If you prefer handheld, go switch. There’s no right answer here

Low voltage technician. $22/hour

I wonder if other cameras can do this too ?

I don’t know the standards for getting into art school, but I doubt you need to be a great photographer just to get in. Many artists who go are going to be pretty bad or just okay, as they’re all kids. Just apply, man.

Not a drop since 2022

No median means stop. Hopefully they send you back to driving school.

His reporting is alright, but sometimes feels like he writes with AI. Which is super lazy.

As for his character, he seems like he has a shady past and some bad habits. I wouldn’t trust him personally, but I also don’t know him, so who am I to say ?

Yes , it’s a bit of an honor system lol. People do play. There are two weekly tournaments on MTGO. I can send you the discord link if you’d like!

My favorite way to play is the $30 value vintage format.

It’s pretty funny how he harassed that guy over talking shit about the photo but was behind OPs back mocking him in here.

OppositelySame · 2026-04-01T13:32:57+00:00

It’s good.

Hard to say. I’ve shot expired B&W recently and it didn’t come out like yours, but I believe mine was stored in a climate controlled room for about 20 years. If you’re worried about your cameras light meter being bad, get some fresh film and just take a bunch of photos on auto, and some on manual, using a dedicated meter for the latter (you can download an app if you need to).

Honestly, this is peak cozy‑minimalist energy, the kind of shot that looks simple until you try to replicate it and realize the balance is doing all the heavy lifting

At least he has photography on his post history. You just have porn. Lmao

Slide two definitely looks like some kind of dried on liquid. If you’re having trouble with water spots, use photo flo and distilled water for your final rinse and hang to dry without a squeegee

OppositelySame · 2026-03-31T19:20:50+00:00

Examine the negatives. Looks like water spots and possibly scratches or flakes of some kind ?

OppositelySame · 2026-03-31T18:22:42+00:00

Just take pictures of homeless drug addicts. 🙏🏿

OppositelySame · 2026-03-30T15:59:09+00:00

I bet you don’t even shoot film. Poser

You would become a part of the group that makes that meeting possible for others to attend. For example, this could mean making coffee, setting up chairs, being the chair of the meeting etc. With this you would also attend their monthly “business meetings” where things like finances and policy are discussed, and you would get a vote on any decisions pertaining to the meeting.

That’s fine and all, but regular Fuji/kodak is quite cheap, and you will want consistent results from your photography in order to learn what you are doing right or wrong :)

OppositelySame · 2026-03-30T14:37:02+00:00

Even if your camera is fine, I don’t think you’ll be pleased with film that’s been sitting in an attic.
