newfag here, really digging the colors, did you edit them in post or what?

>>3060235
Nah I just use VSCO

>>3060235
That other guy wasn't me. I've never used VSCO, but maybe some of what you're referring to with the colors is actually the tones. When I shoot, I generally underexpose by about a stop and then bring up the shadows by a stop in Lightroom. That gives me an extra stop of dynamic range and more closely mimics Portra, which is what I'd ideally be using if only I had the time.

If you're new and looking for tips I'd start by trying something like that. Always focus on stuff you can do pre- and during shooting instead of relying on post. Post is a bandaid for when you didn't do the other things right. The more you can do before post, the better photographer you'll be.

>>3060241
HA

Have fun in Japan OP, you must have a pretty sweet job for PTO and leisure trips...

>>3060282
Thanks. It's not bad. Unlimited PTO but a lot of people abused it last year so now they limit us to max 2 weeks at a time. I only took 4 days last year as I'm working my ass off to make senior, and was hoping to have 'saved up' enough (even though it's unlimited) to take 4 weeks this year for Japan without raising any euebrows. Waited too long apparently so I'm stuck with 2. Still super excited though, have been dying to get back ever since I went for the first time back in 2012.

>>3060286
Woah thats badass man. Where all are you trying to visit this time?
Also I see your GR, are you the anon that made a thread with shots of Boston? Dark buildings and snow?

Are you British?
These Ricoh + vsco photos look the same over and over to me

>>3060287
Yep, that's me. I'm going to spend 4 days in Hong Kong and then about 2 weeks in Tokyo. Going to spend most of my time in the cities doing night photography.

>>3060291
Nope, Boston.

ill be in Tokyo also from the 3rd of may for well deserved 2 weeks of nothing but torys highballs

Complete amateur here but I'm gonna try to make some points anyway

>>3060148
I have no idea what you're trying to show me, but nice colors.

>>3060150
Too bland.

>>3060153
Lines leading to the center and then there's nothing there. It's a setup without a subject.

>>3060154
Looks good. Lot of different geometric shapes in a nice composition.

>>3060157
Should be symmetrical.

>>3060302
>Yep
Hell yeah that set rocked. HK and Tokyo sounds great for that stuff. As someone said in that last thread you captured the ~american Gotham City~ vibe really well so it will be cool to see if you get a sweet asian cyberpunk feel going..
Have fun dude!

>>3060567 #
Thanks, disagree with your last point though. I work with symmetry a lot and it tends to make the image or subject rather stale. Going slightly asymmetrical generally lends a bit of action to the frame which I like.

>>3060591
Thanks man. To give you an idea of what I'm looking to shoot over there here's my Flickr set of images I took the last time I was over there:

>>3060637
Just got back from a trip from Hong Kong and mainland China and some of my cityscapes look very similiar to yours. I used a Bronica ETRS w/ 50, 75 and 150mm lenses, what did you use for your HK photos??

>>3060637
Your page is awesome, Im looking forward to seeing your new pics. Also do you only shoot with the GR?

>>3060959
Thanks. Generally all 3:4 aspect ratio pics were taken on a GS645S, and the 2:3 pics on a Minolta SLR. All Portra.

>>3060963
Thanks. Nowadays I just use the GR around town, but I'll be bringing the aforementioned cameras with me again and will being doing most of my serious shooting with them.

>>3060964
They look great, I'll make a thread when I receive all the negatives back from my developer - hopefully you'll be around to give me some pointers.

>>3060968
For sure, I'll be around when I get back. Sounds good.
