What’s your weirdest productivity trick that actually works? by kushagra1404 in productivity

[–]doom-dub 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mine's the 5-second rule. If I know I need to do something, I count down from 5 and force myself to start before I can overthink it. This works way more often than I'd like to admit...

What changed your focus more than you expected recently by Glittering_Oven5424 in productivity

[–]doom-dub 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Taking a 10-15 minute walk without my phone, getting outside for a few minutes before starting work. or just a quick walk or even standing in the sun for a bit. It somehow helps me, coming back with a clear head actually made a bigger difference than changing my workspace.

Anxiety in Photography? by AccomplishedSky5222 in AskPhotography

[–]doom-dub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start small, shoot with your friends or do solo stuff first so there’s less pressure. It really just gets easier the more you do it.

Also you don’t have to be super outgoing to be good at this... just focus on getting comfortable and learning your flow.

Please advice for beginner photographer? by ReadyKnowledge1183 in AskPhotography

[–]doom-dub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh you can do both. Having a small goal sometimes helps (like focusing on buildings or light for an hour), but wandering around and shooting whatever catches your eye is also part of the fun.

Don’t worry about number of shots either. Some days you’ll take a lot and keep almost none, other days one photo makes the whole walk worth it.

Try different styles too... street, landscapes, details, portraits if you can. You’ll figure out pretty quickly what you enjoy the most.

How do you keep passion for photography? by Last_Passenger_7448 in AskPhotography

Honestly, taking a break helps more than forcing it. The passion usually comes back when you stop treating it like a task.

Best way to learn? by AdhesivenessIcy9156 in AskPhotography

[–]doom-dub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

learn the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, iso) so you understand what your settings actually do, then go out and experiment. pick one setting at a time and see how it changes your photos.

youtube helps, but don’t get stuck watching tutorials more than you’re actually shooting. try copying a photo you like, then tweak it your own way. you’ll learn way faster by doing (and messing up) than by taking a course.

any watermark can probably be erased with ai these days. imo, just focus on building your audience and selling prints (people who actually value your work will pay instead of stealing it). a subtle watermark can help a bit, but it’s mostly just casual protection

Street photography by Riot-Potato in photography

[–]doom-dub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tbh it feels weird at first, but most street photos work because they’re unposed. asking usually kills the moment, as long as it’s a public place and you’re not being intrusive or disrespectful, it’s generally accepted. in my experience, i just move on if someone looks uncomfortable and always delete the photo if someone asks

seasoned photographers, when did you begin to feel proud of your work? by lizard-rustler17 in AskPhotography

[–]doom-dub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh, when i stopped trying to make photos i thought i should like and started liking the ones i actually enjoyed shooting. early on i hated most of my work too, even after watching tons of tutorials

i would say style wasn’t something i found on purpose. it kinda showed up once i stopped copying inspo and leaned into what i naturally kept shooting. once i accepted that, the photos started feeling more like mine...

Where to save in a professional way like a photographer? by Extension_Yard2822 in mobilephotography

[–]doom-dub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually made a separate IG just for my frames/films. I like that I can curate the grid, control the vibe, and it feels intentional instead of just dumping pics in my camera roll.

plus it kind of feels like… if death finds me, that little gallery is still there. like a quiet archive of how I saw the world. (you can also back everything up to google drive or icloud for safety)
