That's pretty broad but I'll ramble for a bit

If you can look at a picture and understand their intention, be able to see what they were going for shown by the composition and subject they picked in an interesting manner it's good photography

For instance in the picture you posted there's a clear idea behind why they took it and it was executed in a manner that makes it clear and concise

If you're just starting out I'd suggest not just walking around with a camera a lot snapping photos of things you think are neat but try imagining concepts for photos or sets of photos. Just brainstorm a bit about things you could see and ideas of how you could make a photo with a clear idea behind it. After that go outside and look at things and see if observing things can also give you ideas about what photos you'd want to take

Also try not to worry about other people. Just find an idea or subject or an idea about a subject and try it out. While doing so look through the finder for a while asking yourself questions about every aspect of the frame: Is it balanced, is there anything that doesn't need to be here that I can avoid, am I too close or too far, is there anything overtly distracting, am I trying to fit too much into the frame or too little

I'm not even sure if this is good advice or not but just have fun with not just taking pictures of things you find interesting but also thinking about if it shows a little insight towards a higher concept or idea as to why you took it

>>2881094
I think this is a good advice, I'll add my 2 cents:
Study the work of other photographers, not necessarily famous buy known and appreciated for their style or what they brought to the table. This will help you learn a lot and figure out what kind of photos you'd like to take.
After all, You don't know where you're going until you know where you've been.

Find something interesting. Think about how to capture what you find interesting about it. Think about how to frame it to capture it. Think about how to expose it to capture it. Think about lighting, what time of day, maybe come back...

Go out and do this 100 times and maybe you'll get 1 picture actually interesting.

You want to be using a moderately high ISO, and if needed you can use a slower shutter speed than you usually would handheld to expose the ambient light. Your subjects are then exposed using flash, which you set to 'rear-curtain'. The rear-curtain mode will expose the ambient light first before triggering the flash, and the short duration of the flash itself freezes the subjects so the slow shutter speed (perhaps 1/20 at 50mm) shouldn't produce any motion blur from camera shake. The flash you use should be from a flashgun and either bounced off a light ceiling/wall or diffused using a dome or bounce card as direct light will be too flat and harsh

OP here, I get that you should expose for the ambient light first then flash to freeze the subject. My problem was that the flash was illuminating too big an area of the room, bouncing off the low ceiling. I suppose I should have zoomed the flash in so it's more localised in effect and probably gel it orange to better match the ambient light.

when I took this I remembered an anon who asked something like
>do you take pictures on private properties? I wanted to last time but I didn't
and somebody answered
>jump that fence

so I didn't literally jump a fence but I followed second guy's advice
thanks for the advice man

This is with the lens completely open at 3.5 and the image isn't obscured at all

are the dark spots always in the same place?

better picture? can't see the darkspots

Download full size images and not the thumb nails

>>2881648
but where do i find full size images
for example, on eggleston's website, OP pic is the best size i could find

>>2881650
I thought you wanted work from artists

>>2881489
>so where is the problem?
using vsco

>>2881530
Well it's not working. Version from google play is working, but only have few presets, and i don't have 200+ buck to buy it .

moved on from VSCO some time ago so I dunno if the email trick still works, but if it still does then you can download the free version and look around to see if anyone is sharing an account with full presets. then you can log into that one, download the ones you need and just relog into your account, and the presets are yours forever.

>>2881263
Yeah prob crack it
I pirated it because i had some friend who went to a uni that gave out codes to students, but theres like this loophole that lets you reuse serial codes if you refuse to register with adobe during the install, so like me and 6 friends just reuse the same code over and over

Cs6 master collection and lightroom

Get the cracked amtlib.framework file

Block incoming and outgoing firewall per program

Been doing this in one way or another since 2001 with differemt versions and different cracks. If I was making serious money on a regular basis I would actually buy or pay for CC

>>2881263
Depends on if you're on OSX or Windows. if OSX, just find the Adobe Zii patcher and it's a one-button fix for any and all Adobe programs you have. I also recommend Hands Off! for firewall, I like it better than Little Snitch.
