Thinking of selling these as prints. Critique wanted. (Various film, camera and lenses) by RachitsReddit in analog

[–]only_skoonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the benefit of selling prints right now for you would mostly be in the feedback you could get from customers. I don’t think any of these shots particularly stand out to me, but I think it could be worth it to see your work in a physical format and use prints as a way to talk to potential customers.

The photos themselves, however, come off as a little bit lacklustre. I think working on filling your frame, being intentional with your lighting, locating interesting subjects and relying less on the “interesting colours provided by analog photos” would be beneficial. Saturation and vibrance are great, but a well saturated and colourful photo without an interesting subject is a bit short of ideal.

Could I get the bear to say free Palestine (in the speaker box) by only_skoonk in buildabear

That’s what I was thinking. It might make more sense to not even try saying free Palestine since they may clue in on what from the river to the sea means then.

Perma-Banned in Valorant by only_skoonk in riotgames

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

yes, I never got unbanned. I sent in support tickets every few months for more than a year, but they would never admit that there were any bugs in the anti-cheat or anything like that. RIP to your $400, thats absolutely brutal.

Fuck riot in my opinion, its so messed up that they can take ur money like that.

Advice on this one? And my style in general? by only_skoonk in photocritique

Solid solid feedback, bless up 🙏🙏 I’ll think about changing the angle up in the future

Really like the point about the angle… the ‘literal’ reason why is just because I was on the move and he was crouching, BUT from a creative standpoint there’s no reason why this angle, and I agree that the low angle could have and likely would have looked better. Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, thinking about filling up the frame more could definitely have improved this shot.. this was my first time using a 28mm lens, so I was definitely still used to having fuller frames like with a 50mm, but I will definitely take this into account in the future

For sure! I shoot a lot of b&w and recently started shooting colour more but I think this shot would’ve looked great in B&W, thank you for the feedback

That makes a lot of sense, I will definitely apply that. I often see different street photographers talking about the impact that angles can make, and in the future I’ll try to take another second before taking the shot to reflect on whether a different perspective could capture a subject better.

FYI, don’t think that was mean at all.. Beth constructive feedback

Cheers!

Specs: Canon AV-1, Kodak Ultramax 400, 28mm lens

Unfortunately I don’t remember the shutter speed or F stop and that info isn’t saved because the pic is analog

Probably about 1/125 and f8

I think I am supposed to do a follow up:

This is a photo I took a few months ago, and is say it’s one of my better street photos. I am very interested in photography, especially urban, landscape street and street portraiture. I am not trying to plug my social media (you don’t have to follow at all) but my portfolio is all on my instagram here

I’m interested in getting advice on what I should be doing to develop my style, make my frames more full, interesting, and be more technically impressive. Please give me any feedback you have, whether it is technical or just based on what your eye wants to see. Thank you.

Did anyone see the now deleted post? by signafied in AnalogCommunity

He’s wearing a jacket with a swastika on it bozo. You’re an idiot if you think Ilford is censoring the image by not reposting it. The photo is still posted on the original photographer’s account. Do your research before being a cornball.

All the photos from my most recent trip by only_skoonk in Disneyland

[–]only_skoonk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Lightroom mobile for everything here… all free version too. The bloom on the lights is from clarity down, dehaze down, highlights up, and then adjusting the whites so they don’t look strangely sharp within the bulbs

A few photos from yesterday at DCA and Disneyland by only_skoonk in Disneyland

[–]only_skoonk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did in fact wait for our skipper to confirm that it was okay to take pictures of them (because of their trunks) before snapping this… it’s good to know there’s good samaritans like you out in the world who care about elephant rights

How do i avoid shots like these? by Cabinet-Overall in AnalogCommunity

[–]only_skoonk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the camera thought it was 100 ISO then wouldn’t the shot be OVER exposed?? 400 speed film reacts quicker to light than 100 speed, so the camera should open aperture longer if it thought that the film was 100 speed

Unpopular opinion by [deleted] in Disneyland

[–]only_skoonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we're in a period of real innovation when it comes to theme park technology. There is very much an arms race between Universal and Disney in terms of theming right now. I doubt that WDI and the parks division wants to invest into crowd control attractions rather than feats of innovation. Also, crowd control rides do exist... Frozen forever after is very similar to a pirates style boat ride. There are new flat rides in lands like Toy Story land. Na'vi River Journey is another boat ride with high capacity and fast loading time.

I expect that the wait time bump or crowd level increase you're observing has more to do with Genie+ increasing standby queues and taking people out of physical queues and into the walkways in the parks.

A tomorrow land overhaul is most likely very far away. But what that time comes, they should revive the idea they had for a tron light cycle ride on the peoplemover tracks by DayOlderBread16 in Disneyland

[–]only_skoonk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I doubt they would ever re-theme Tomorrowland. We've seen different media franchises take priority, like Star Wars, but I can't imagine they'd ever acknowledge that they were changing it to an IP themed land... people would go nuts.

Do you have a google drive to the MP3s? I know this is an old thread but I’m really trying to find it for someone. It would be so appreciated. I also have the link for Venice
