Do I have to be not proud of my work because I followed an entire tutorial to make it ? Is it a good thing to do as a beginner ? Is it consider to have no creativity ?

of course not
>Is it a good thing to do as a beginner ?
yes
>Is it consider to have no creativity ?
no. You're still learning
its natural to follow tutorials and even imitate other photographers when you're starting. don't worry about it senpai.
This tutorial is worthless
>>2761088
well, if you could've wasted months getting there on your own then it was a smart decision...
The GR is a toy, they say.
This motherfucker of a picture was shot on a GR.

Post your GR shots in here, faggots.

into the garbage it goes.
So, is it a good first camera for beginners?
Hey, /p/. I'm very new to photography, and if I ask anybody to critique what I've gotten so far, they just say "Yeah, that looks real good" because either they just want to be nice or they really don't know, so I have no idea if I'm total shit or actually decent.
I'm gonna post a few of my more favorite shots so far, and any criticism or feedback would be much appreciated. Be as brutal as you want, I'm really trying to learn here.
If anybody else new wants to see if their work is decent, I guess this would be a good place.

This was shot with a 50mm Canon FD lens held off the body. The tilt effect is genuine, not an Instagram effect.

Hey there.
I've started trying film fotography a few weeks ago, and this is one from my first color roll. It was a Kodak Gold 200, shot with a Nikon F60. Can someone explain to me what those stripes are? I'm not sure if the problem was in the shooting or if it was the lab.
Anyway, i'm not a pro, i just take photos as a hobby, so don't judge too harshly please

It could be the lab using a dirty machine to process your photos. Tell them to clean their equipment and see if they'll give you a refund/newfilm/process etc.

you BR senpai? I suggest quitting film unless you're loaded
it's a niche market in a severely under-demanding market
that means no fair price on new products i.e. film and paraphernalia, due to no production and little to no importation
also no maintenance on equipment since they're getting discontinued and not being replaced due to no demand whatsoever, which is what you're seeing that's happened to your picture
Let's see some of your best recent pictures

Really like that but I feel like some of the lines are not quite straight and it sorta fucks with me but then I realize I like that more than if they were all actually straight
>mfw all my most recent are literally snapshits I took on the way to the drug store to test a camera I bought at a thrift store and I just got the scans back
I'm the worst
Anyone reckon it would be worth using the built-in digital camera unit on some of the petrographic microscopes I use in the lab to get nicer pictures of rock thin sections? Not entirely sure how good the camera actually is, but it's good enough to project an image on a board and still look decent. Would anyone find that interesting enough to warrant me bothering to post it? Maybe I'm just being overly enthusiastic, but what you can see with microscopy is fascinating to me
Pic related is snapshit taken today looking down the eyepiece with the crosshair to give an idea of what you usually see of a rock thin section (this section specifically is shap granite under crossed polars with biotite intergrown into chlorite, titanite and significantly altered pagioclase visible)

>and sleek rangefinder-style looks (reminiscent of Fujifilm’s X100 series cameras)
it looks exactly like the old Pen FT, NOT like le x100 memecamera. im gonna gut that faggot with a dessert spoon, fucking hell.
eh.
I'm a beginner photographer and I've been going out and taking pictures of things to get a sense for the controls of my camera. I've also been getting a grasp on the exposure triangle and messing around to see what happens when I set the camera in different ways.
The issue is that I've just gone out and taken pictures of... whatever. Sometimes I'm just out in my backyard at different times of day to see how light affects my exposure. So I'm getting the technical aspect down, but it's everything else that I'm lacking.
I know that it's a good idea to go somewhere with purpose and to have an idea of what you want to photograph ahead of time. This is a dumb question but, what's a good 'assignment' for a beginner photographer? What should I be concentrating on as my subjects? I don't think I have a complete grasp on everything to the point where I'd feel comfortable shooting street photography, but I think I need something more concrete than "just go out and take pictures".
What are some of the things you started off taking pictures of?
I think at this point you really should just be taking pictures of anything. Play around with composition. Pick a subject and see how many different ways you can capture it.
Pretend you're shooting for a tour book for your town or some shit.
>>2761592
I think your ready to develop a watermark, put an ad on Craigslist and take pictures of halfnaked girls so they can post the pictures on Facebook and pretend they are models.
This seems like to be the way things work nowadays.
i have no idea where to find any good photography
suggest some sites to cure this
Photography sites or blogs selling gear?
jealous poorfags?
>>2755806
You realize for all the money you spent on filters, which you could re-create in PS or LR yourself, that you could've bought a new lens instead?
its fucking nothing
>>2755806
no I shoot actual film, which is a tenth of the cost you've spent on some digital effects that I could of made myself
Does anyone else shoot Olympus?
I have an e-510 and for some reason the picture always comes out with more room on the right and bottom side than the viewfinder shows. It's not too big of a deal because it gives me a little extra space that I can crop out of if necessary, but it's just a bit strange.
Optical viewfinders sometimes don't cover the entire frame that the sensor sees. That camera has a 95% coverage viewfinder, so about 5% of your photo isn't visible in the finder. I guess it's also not perfectly centered which is why you get extra on just the right and bottom instead of a little extra all the way around.
Best way you can ensure complete frame coverage with the 510 is to use the live view, although AF will be shit (had a 410, still have a 520).
I was recently given some FT lenses with no body. What is a FT body that is still relevant today?
Hey /p/
I don't often post here but here goes,
I make short films and need to make one over the weekend, i have all the equiptment but theres one problem. i need a steadicam/glidecam/camera stabilizer. anyone live in Leeds, UK that would be willing to help out? i know its alot to ask but ill only need it for a few hours, plus it would be cool to meet some of you guys!
>>2760582
I don't know if you're a fucking psycho or not.
I have a Glidecam HD4000 and I fucking hate it.
>>2760582
I'm on the other side of the planet so obviously can't help, But you might want to offer up some info about the shot.
What camera do you hope to put on it?
What kind of shot? Is there running involved. Is it just following people while they walk. is it an action sequence, etc.
>>2760604
running, walking, i have a sony a7 mk ii
Looks like shit
>>2757837
Looks better than the D5, those 3 front function buttons piss me off everytime I look at the piece of shit.
If you need more than 2 do it like Canon has done it.

Hey /p/.
My gran was cleaning out her attic, found this old Polaroid camera and gave it to me.
I'm desperate to try it out, but I didn't realise how expensive the film is, so I have a few questions.
Is there any way to check the camera still actually works before I put film in it? She thinks the camera has been up there for about 30 years. I know these things are built to last but that's still a long time and it was hardly the best conditions up there.
Are there any cheaper alternatives for film? I've Googled and had a look on Amazon and Ebay and it seems it's always about £15-20 for 8-10 shots. Pretty steep!
And finally, am I total hipster for having a Polaroid camera?
Thanks guys!
>>2759007
It will work, It is powered from the film pack which holds power for the film delivery and the flash. Trust me unless it has been underwater it will work. The Impossible project does Polaroid film.
Alternatively
You could just use a 5 megapixel cheap digital, crop it into a square with a double border on the bottom edge, print it out on an old HP Deskjet using non branded ink cqrtridges, and on ordinary photocopy paper scan the print and turn it into a jpeg then have it printed at Asda/Boots as a square glossy print etc. Result a Polaroid looking photo for a 20th of the price.l
Have fun.
>>2759007
Nothing will work on it without a film pack in it as the batteries are in the film pack. Yes you are a hipster. If u want instant camera then look at what fuji instaxes do. Polaroid is just a brand name now used by various manufacturers to sell tvs and cameras generic shit.
Someone give me an oxygen mask, I can't hold the hype

They're nice lenses, and the a7 series is nice. Now go take photos with them.
