These are Vancouver British Columbia area, we've had a lot of wildfire smoke the last few weeks. It's mostly clear now.

Lighthouse park last night. Messing around with my new Hoya 10 stop. It's a pain in the ass to get on and off so I can manually focus.

Really love the tones in all your shots but this one is my favorite. What kind of settings were you shooting at? Post processing?

I have a dslr and am still pretty amateur, I've taken some nice shots, but nothing that pops like this photo

These are pretty good pics so I'll take the time to respond to all of them

>>3139620
This one is nice

>>3139622
This one is nice but the shack and equipment is too dark

>>3139624
Cliche, but nice example of the shot

>>3139627
>>3139633
These two would be nice if there wasn't distracting shit in the foreground

>>3139629
>>3139631
>>3139632
Not feeling it

>>3139621
>>3139623
Shit

>>3139642
Thanks. I shot this one at f16, 2 second exposure with iso of 100. Most of the processing was burning around some of the water area on the banks, and the tree's in the background.
The best advice I can give you is to go out just before the sunset/sunrise, setup your tripod and wait. Having good light make's the post processing so much easier.
Also learn to use the radial filter and graduated filter in lightroom. It really helped step up my post processing.

>>3139696
Thanks for the response. I have to agree with >>3139623 It's easily the weakest.

>>3139632
How are you using the filter? Just hand holding it?

do you also own a manual camera?

>>3140373
What is a manual camera?

>>3140375
something that has manual focus ring etc etc. like DSLRs and mirrorless. or is this your only camera? i want to get a GR but i feel so insecure about having a point and shoot as a main camera. every photographers that shoot p&s always have another huge camera as their main camera, big ass stuffs like canon or sony.

>>3140367
The filter screw's onto the lens hood adapter. I think it's 49mm or something. I actually haven't used to hood itself yet. I probably will soon (trip to Joshua Tree in LA soon).

>>3140378
I own a Nikon D7000, and a minolta Srt 101. Honestly I barely use my dslr anymore. The GR is enough camera for me.
It's interesting that you said you'd feel insecure using a small camera. There has been a couple times (last weekend for example), where I felt a little embarrassed to have a tiny camera on a big tripod if other photographers walked by. It's such a silly thought that it's almost laughable. It's something that I continually work on, I hate when im out at night shooting long exposures and people are looking at me like wtf are you doing. But If I dont go out im not going to improve or get any shots im happy with.

>>3140858
Well, you do look ultra stupid doing it and that's a fact.

>>3140858
>>3140378
Don't worry about it anons, think about Leica photographers, they have the most expensive gear and can be the highest tier of pro yet still have the little camera on a big tripod.
And yeah, at night, when I do most of my shooting, it's really annoying, especially at odd hours. People are afraid that I'm probably a murderer or rapist, and yet I'm the one afraid of being murdered or raped.
I've had 30+ minute long exposures ruined by someone with a car stopping with their high beams pointing at the camera/my subject to see what I'm doing ;_;

Seeing these photos makes me want a grii even more, great work!

i dislike the colors, they look cheap and fake, like those in a default screensaver.

>>3139629
best in the set by a wide margin. the rocks on the river (?) bottom are disgusting in a good way.

>>3139633
there is something weird going on with the composition. pleasant image overall.

keep posting your work

>>3139629
That's gorgeous. Well shot. Ignore the retards that wish they'd taken anything that good.

Thanks friends

>>3141423
I appreciate this. It means a lot more to me than instagram likes.

>>3140998
Good to know im not the only one with these feels.

>>3139629 is perfect

>you know you are better than >>3139624 and >>3139623

I-I know senpai :(

These are excellent. Wish I could take some nearly as good as these when I go away.
Nice work

>>3139629
I feel it

>>3139631
Reminds me of that tpdd hido snapp of that foggy house

>>3139696

>>3139627
>>3139633
Exactly that is the reason why they are good. The "distracting shit" as you call it has to be there else it would be a boring shot.

Well done OP.

>>3143714
Apart from the one with the lighthouse - I agree.

You did a killer job - and for travel shots.

There is not a single bad shot posted by the OP.

what the fuck all these pics are top stuff. very good taste on pp.

>>3139620

>>3139623
Quite distractive, best itt imo. Dick gone erect.

>>3139629
>>3139631
This good scenery potential, but dick gone flaccid.

>>3139620
Which Ricoh GR II Generation?

I want to pick oen up but don't want to spend more than $500.00 USD. They've been in production so long its hard to tell the difference between generations.

Thank you these photos are incredible.

Op here, thanks from the critiques and encouragement. Taking off to Joshua Tree in California for a few days, im sure this thread will die. Hopefully I'll take enough pictures to start another.

>>3146776
I think it's the newest one, it's got a 16mp sensor and 18mm lens. Im really happy I bought it, I dont even really use my dslr anymore. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to anyone. :)

>>3139621
>>3139629

my favs
cool stuff OP, thanks for posting

Threads like this make /p/ great, not gear shitposting.
Inb4 sony shill

>>3146776
the only real difference is the WiFi and the dust protection has gotten a bit better imo.
>>3146864
should note that the 18mm is on a crop sensor though so it's really 28mm

>>3147005
Perfect landscape FL imo

>>3147018
yeah I use it as a second camera for my 6D too
