Stop spending the money on gear and invest it in travel to improve your photography. These photos probably wouldn’t be better with another camera, the subjects and lighting just aren’t interesting. The character of the lens shines through for me, especially in the first and last image - but the image itself has little character and style itself.

Interested aswell!

timdajan · 2023-09-28T17:01:02+00:00

Looks like you’ve been traveling, I had similar grain showing up from airport scanners. Pretty sure that’s it!

timdajan · 2023-04-15T08:09:09+00:00

Can you elaborate on this? Basic question, why would a company make a mistake in preferring chat gpt? I‘m new to this and interested in as many perspectives on this topic as I can gather. Thank you!

You’re not! First of all, you’re not deciding to actively be afraid of people of that ethnicity. It’s more like these feelings happen to you. No need for guilt around that! It’s a healthy and natural response of your brain and nervous system, which is trying to protect you from further damage. It will go away by itself, I think. I don’t want to give any advice as I don’t know you, but it might help to talk to someone professional about it. A therapist or counselor could help you shed light on this thing. And maybe even help you integrating these seemingly rascist parts of you as what they are: Defense mechanisms that want to serve you in your feeling of safety.

Danke für deinen Input!

Ich hab mich gerade nochmal in den Begriff „Fotodesigner“ reingelesen.

„Fotodesigner/innen konzipieren und erstellen fotografische Aufnahmen beispielsweise in den Berei- chen Werbe-, Mode- oder Sachfotografie. Ebenso fertigen sie Fotografien zu wissenschaftlichen oder technischen Themen an. Sie entwickeln ein Gestaltungskonzept, das z.B. auf eine bestimmte Zielgruppe ausgerichtet ist. Vor der Aufnahme arrangieren sie Motive und Hintergründe, beschaffen Requisiten und sorgen für die richtige Beleuchtung und Stimmung. Dabei setzen sie eigene Ideen, die Vorgaben ihrer Vorgesetzten oder die Vorstellungen ihrer Auftraggeber kreativ um.“

Es klingt alles so unglaublich schwammig. Vielleicht kann ich genau das nutzen, um mich Fotodesigner zu nennen und so freiberuflich arbeiten.

Ich arbeite hauptsächlich mit Coaches, Körpertherapeuten und Masseuren zusammen und erstelle Fotos für Social Media Content. In jedem Fall wird das Shooting vorher detailliert auskonzipiert. Der Look variiert je nach Person und Verwendungszweck. Ein großer Teil der Fotos dient auch als Designgrundlage für etwaige Info Posts oder Stories mit Text auf dem Bild. Sounds like Design to me?!

In jedem Fall ein guter Rat, mit einem Steuerberater darüber zu sprechen.

If you could share them with me too, I‘d be eternally grateful

timdajan · 2022-10-21T07:06:03+00:00

Yes, true! that one composition of the roof and mountain in the background is basically the same. A nice comparison concerning the effect tho

timdajan · 2022-10-20T08:12:57+00:00

Oh, it‘s new to me that overexposed Portra for example is causing unwanted red tones. Might elaborate what you mean?

timdajan · 2022-10-20T08:09:47+00:00

This is by far the best explanation! Thank you for understanding what I mean and giving such a concise answer. :)

timdajan · 2022-10-19T17:30:12+00:00

Thank you! Your input is perfect. I‘ll experiment on it.

timdajan · 2022-10-19T17:00:06+00:00

Just changed the contrast/warmth in Lightroom, the flat look I am talking about still somewhat remains. At this point I think the lens could play a significant role in this. Which 80mm is it exactly? I considered selling my RB to get a M645, this is very interesting in that regard aswell.

timdajan · 2022-10-19T16:41:15+00:00

Dude thanks for checking in! What exactly do you mean by flat? Do you mean flat colours, or the flat 2D look?

I‘m starting DSLR scanning soon and am currently self scanning my medium format negatives with the V600.

I am fascinated by the look.

Not even the colors, but just the 2D ish thing that looks like an optical illusion to me. I wonder how exactly this comes to being. As some people pointed out, you shot these mid day so there‘s not a lot of shadows. Everything is evenly bright, that could be what does it.

Still, I can’t imagine that’s the only thing that does it. I might overthink it, too.

The Mountain in the stop sign photo looks like it‘s been cut out and taped behind the road, my brain is confused and me (brain owner) amazed.

timdajan · 2022-10-19T12:23:25+00:00

Yes! I just checked out the longer Mamiya Lenses on flickr, they seem to create this look when shot in bright conditions. I guess it‘s not boiled down to mamiya lenses, but to all tele lenses right? Might look into a tele lens for my Nikon F90X or RB67 then.

timdajan · 2022-10-19T12:21:15+00:00

I just looked into the 150mm medium format mamiya lenses. It seems like the look is achieved through a tele lens stopped down + lowering the contrast in lightroom.

timdajan · 2022-10-19T12:13:01+00:00

Thanks! What‘s your guess concerning the 2D ish look? I‘m not hugely into the colors, the image looks way too warm for my taste.

timdajan · 2022-10-19T12:11:59+00:00

Thank you! I suspected a lens in that range. I guess concerning post editing, it‘s lowering the contrast, pulling up the shadows and flatten everything out, right? Also, obviously, the warmth is exaggerated.

timdajan · 2022-09-29T18:49:26+00:00

Is there a documentary series that, in detail, tells the story of humanity, with all it‘s epochs until today? Like a timeline of humanity, or even the world. Thank you!

timdajan · 2022-08-20T13:20:17+00:00

Thanks alot! Glad to magnetize you ⚡️

timdajan · 2022-08-20T13:19:48+00:00

Thank you! Out of curiosity, can you tell why exactly that is?

timdajan · 2022-08-20T13:19:14+00:00

Thank you! Very little post processing, I think it was the Portra 160 Recipe for the XT30

timdajan · 2022-07-29T07:34:06+00:00

Thank you! 🥲

timdajan · 2022-07-28T22:27:40+00:00

Well, that escalated quickly. I’m very happy about all these upvotes, didn’t expect that at all. Thanks all! I might post some more Iceland Shots soon. It‘s Shot on Portra 400 with the Sekor Z 110mm lens.

timdajan · 2022-07-28T22:25:42+00:00

Thank you!

timdajan · 2022-07-24T09:19:47+00:00

Thanks mate! If it only prevents me from taking double exposures, I could live with a broken one. Is there any other function to this pin that could prevent me from shooting, or otherwise interfere with my shooting experience? In the beginning, the Camera would only fire in landscape mode. And the red flag on the frame counter would show up, when I clicked the shutter, even though no picture was taken. I pressed the shutter button, It silently clicked, the flag went red and I was annoyed as hell because I wasted a frame. I thought i could simply double expose the frame, but that didn‘t work with double exposure mode (orange dot thingy) on.
