>>2892704
>Literally who?
Fuck.
You.
Newfag.
Alex, the one and only. The best photog /p/ ever had.
>>2892709
put your trip on omi and get the tripdick out of your mouth
>>2892709
mmmdebatable.
The most prolific nature photographer we ever had, maybe. But god damn were most of his shots mundane.
>>2892709
>The best photog /p/ ever had.
alex is an amazing photog and the broest we ever had besides photoshopr. but the total best title is for alphon, and you know it.
>>2892710
That most certainly wasn't me, and neither do I think he's the best photographer here, nor is Alex a tripfag. But thanks for letting me know I'm on your mind ;););)
>>2892704
He's a fish. His gang is the mongrel mob.
>>2892706
he doesn't work for petapixel. they just asked his permission to publish an article he had already written on his blog.
>>2892715
>neither do I think he's the best photographer here
who do you think is then?
>>2892718
I want biff to cum in my ass but he has a gf
>>2892722
wow friend you messed up big time trying to false-flag yourself!
>>2892725

You think you can out-shitpost me?
>>2892725
Hahaha Omi what are you doing with your life?
>>2892704
>>2892670
Three cheers for AB!
Don't know who Alex is, but fuck me that article was a delight to read. What a bro tier 'tog.
>>2892670
Now Burt just needs to do a collab with Tony Northup and we'll be put on the map, only for us to shoo potential users away with our sarcastic comments and condescending antics.
>>2892770

So is anyone gonna post this Alex dude's work?
>>2892772
Boku no Google it, friend. His name is right there.
>>2892757
get the fuck out and never return.
why the fuck is /p/ so scrubby all of the sudden?
>>2892799
>get the fuck out and never return.
>why the fuck is /p/ so scrubby all of the sudden?
what are you mad at today, you fucking cuck? cant even grasp it. do people saying positive things get in your pants?
Yo how much is PetaPixel paying you, if you dont mind me asking? I always thought their articles were written by bots or random freelancers.
>>2892670
Nice job Alegs
Is he like the 3rd /p/hag to put something on Petapixel?
Petapixel just got better!
We learned a lot from Alex. Now everyone else can.
>>2892772
He used to post his large format snapshits on here at high res which was always nice. He stopped after he found someone on ebay selling a print of something he had uploaded only here.
I believe he preferred Portra 400 but I am not sure.

I have nothing nice to say about petapixel so I'm just going to say that I have nothing nice to say.
But I hope Alex gets plenty of exposure out of it.
Good luck.
>>2892811
I'm mad at scrubs, duh. I thought that was obvious. Also, anyone who says

Congrats Alex. I'd love to buy you a beer and shoot the shit if I'm ever in your neck of the woods.
>>2892670
do his tips apply if I didn't fall for the film meme and shoot digital?
>>2893576
Absolutely, you just need to be more careful of the exposure. Knowing what the exp is for the subject and the highlights/shadows surroundings will help you select a precise exposure.
>>2893259
'why you mad tho?
Any 'tog worth his salt would keep calm and relax. You need to chill breh.

He just handheld a large format camera for 10/30 seconds, no problems.
>>2893576
Yeah, good exposures are good exposures. You just get less working space in the highlights and more in the shadows, so expose for the highlights.
Well shit, I just came back from the mountains and it looks like there's a thread about me. Been developing film this morning, might as well post a new image or two since this seems like an appropriate place.
A guy from PetaPixel asked me if he could share that last week, so I said sure why not? That's what I make the blog posts for anyway, to help people so might as well spread the word.

Can't wait to see some of your new stuff!
>>2895576
How would he get the flowers and the mountain in focus without using a shitload of tilt? What's wrong with doing that anyway, it's the complete opposite of the stupid fucking tilt shift miniature meme.
>>2895606
Wide angle lense with closed aperture?
>>2896597
No.
He made it on the same site as that lady complaining that men don't fawn over her shitty photos from that other thread.
Alex deserves better than PP. It's the huffpo of photography.

Almost no one works for petapixel. They outsource their articles.
Here's some Ektar from a hike yesterday morning. I love the days before a monsoonal weather system moves in, the 4 mile hike in the dark is wonderfully cool and the air is incredibly still. The lake at the end of this stream was a perfect reflection but it doesn't have an exciting foreground so I went back towards the stream.

Hey! I made that several years ago! I can't believe anybody saved it.
At the time, I was going for an Alex Top 10. I definitely think I'd keep most of those. The bales of hey, the irrigation system, the silos, and the snowy B&W trees are still top favorites.
I think I might replace a few of the others.
I know it doesn't pay the bills, but I really love his oil work the best.

From a purely technical standpoint, I think this is one of his best photos ever. The colors are perfect. The exposure is perfect. The focus is perfect. The composition is surreal it's so perfect.
I don't know if it's an all-time favorite of mine, because I think he has more interesting subjects, but from a purely technical standpoint, this is damn near flawless.
Publishing something in (or working for) petapixel is now considered to have "made it"?
Wow, you have pretty low standards ...
>>2898795
Yeah, Alex makes a living by selling prints, which I think is a much bigger mark of success than getting published on a shitty photography clickbait site.

For fuck's sake. We're shitting on the fact that Alex got massive exposure? What the fuck else do you want him to do? He's a photographer. He makes money selling photographs. People only buy his photographs if they know who he is. Being featured on a high traffic photography website is about as good as it gets.
im glad he got recognition but this shit doesnt work for digital, its all about dynamic range desu
>>2899526
>>ranked as the #1 photography news and information site online (as opposed to site like flickr or 500px which juts showcase people's photos)
I love Alex, but I won't for a moment defend petapixel. The site is a shitty photography clickbait site. That said, it is a good place for exposure and good for Alex for taking advantage of that.
Note I also think Facebook is cancer, but I wouldn't judge anyone for marketing through it.
But hey, Alex, if you're around, I'm actually kind of curious: have you gotten any new business because of this article?
Jesus Christ what a bunch of dick slurping wannabes you all are.

Alex sales photos for a living.
People only buy his photos if they know who he is and where to find him.
Getting your name and work out on a site with 10,000,000 hits a month increases exposure.
I mean, what the fuck are you missing?
>>2899804

>>2899804
Not the guy you replied to, but you're overreacting as to how big of a deal a petapixel article is. The article only got 1800 shares when other articles can get 100x that, so calling it massive exposure is an overstatement. Not shitting on alex or petapixel. I hope it helps him, but its not life changing.
Theyll publish just about any shit they find remotely interesting. Hes not the first /p/haggot to get published there. Last year they asked me to write about my snapshits. It didnt make me famous in the least, and got fewer views than alex's article, lol. But it was fun though.
