Yes, I really did. I noticed that after I left the location, so couldn't get another shot.

 

I'll definitely give this photo a 10/10. I really like the colors!

Here's another one of mine. Shot this at the time of Diwali. 

 

It seems like you focused slightly behind the flame but can't say if it was on purpose or not but the exposure and the composition are near perfect. The only critic I can say for these kind of photos in general is and this one in specific too is that instead of jur taking a picture of a candle flame adding a slightly visible background to the image would give it more of a depth and life.

Well here's one of mine. Taken while walking around in Konya/Turkey...

Looks filmy. Or maybe just crazy jpg compression. I just scanned a whole bunch of old photos, and something about them... even the shitty blurry disposable cameras look way better and more appealing than smartphones.

Could probably do some color editing to drop the reds in the dark areas and maybe boost the brightness a bit.

It’s crazy image compression. Image noise and film grain tend to be a fair bit more defined. The way the noise in that shot seems to concentrate around sharp corners suggests lossy intraframe compression. 
 

Noise reduction on smartphone shots tend to make fine details look smudged. Also, fine grain, slower film still holds up well, especially medium format and larger. 
 

My turn. I liked the subject enough to bother with, but there are a couple things such as the sign post that I just have to put up with, because not my property, so compromises were made on composition and framing (so as to avoid exposing information, the number alone shouldn’t tell much). It wasn’t even planned really. I went to shoot something else, failed, and shot this on my way to the car (because again, private property I don’t want to hang around for long in).

The composition is pretty good. I would give this photo a 8.5/10. Not sure if the graininess was intentional, but it looks good. The vignette too looks good.

At first glance, I couldnt even tell that you made some compromises to avoid exposing information. Personally, I would like some more contrast. That can just be edited. I'll give this photo a 9.5/10.

 

 

Was just walking around, when I saw these birds on a fence. And yet again I think I've missed the focus(facepalm)

It could've been both. It still has a filimic quality, just scanned and compressed to hell.

Reminds me of a picture of an International my buddy took.

I like the contrast and colours. The framing makes it seem sturdy despite sitting for so many years (someone better restore that thing). 9/10

 

 

Here's one I took of a tree with budding flowers in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountain Region.

 

"Tree Flowers" Canon SL3 | Canon 18-55mm IS STM, at 55mm | ISO 100 | f/5.6 | 1/60 sec. | editing in Lightroom

[Zodiark1593]

The flowers are pretty, but I’m unsure if the positive vignetting was really necessary. I see what you’re going for though in making it softer, and more airy. Using the radial gradient with a very mild negative dehaze, a touch of negative clarity, and softening of the color (cutting the saturation a bit, and adding a touch of luminance) would probably do the trick. 
 

This was a morning shot from under our local bridge. Nothing particularly special, but just something to shoot at. Normally, I’m in bed quite a bit later than this. The reflections are quite nice though. It’s also not often that I shoot with my 24mm lens, and the size with the A7C is amazingly small, quite close to those old 35mm small rangefinder cameras. 
 

A7C with Tamron 24mm F2.8,

edit: I suspect that’s a wasp nest in the upper left corner.

I love that wedge of light and I love the water. 10/10

 

Also yes the sony A7C and the A600 series is very compact.

I have used a Panasonic GX84( Basically the same form factor) and that thing is tiny.

ISO 6400 too high and kinda grainy (By accident (I just came out of a car and forgot to change it))

Doing a Black and White conversion really brings out the light wedge too, as well as the details in the dancing light. Hard to choose what to do in post with this one, as I also like morning colors.

clean the objects some more before you shoot
not a big fan of the speaker+ shadow of it  being in the frame but otherwise nice

 

shot on: (which I hope to sell this body) hello fuji
Canon SL2 24-105F$ @105mm F5.6 1/320 iso800

not a food shooter at all but figured fun thing to try before I eat it.

Beautiful colours and the composition is nice, but I wish the depth of field was slightly larger

 

 

Lubitel-2 (120 Medium format TLR) + Kodak Aerocolor IV 125ISO, aperture of f/3.5 and 1/125 shutter speed. I used some YoungNuo lightning sticks, one of them is seen at the top left corner - my bad...

No editing except for the white balance from scanner. Strong reds are the part of Aerocolor's specific look

 

That’s a really awesome shot there. The lighting and composition is pretty spot on. Not sure if noise reduction was used, or if Medium Format film really has very little graininess. The Aerocolor’s red look goes really well with the environment. Don’t think any of my portraits can compare. 10/10 from me. 
 

This was taken for a brief senior portrait for my sister. I seldom shoot my lens wide open (F1.4) so I wanted to see what it could do for a (nearly) full body shot. Shadows were pretty aggressively pulled up in post, as I didn’t have anything outside flash (which doesn’t sync past 1/250) that could illuminate against the background lighting. Maybe some of those Arri Skypanels LTT uses would’ve worked?
 

Sony A7C, Rokinon 50mm F1.4

It was quite nicely done, getting natural light to work with you, especially with models, can be quite the challenge.

 

It's pouring buckets here outside, so I thought I'd play with some indoor photography, but my Macro lens went stupid, so I had to resort to my 50mm.

Nikon D3x, ISO 800 (I wanted some grain in the shot) f/5.6 1/20 shutter (on a tripod naturally)

The astute of you will recognize the Precision and PowerEdge props. I used a cheap LED light with an orange filter for lighting.

Still needs a lot of work for composition etc (working without a macro lens threw me off) but I was having fun doing this.

Saadly, my eyesight isn't what it used to be, and AF is pretty much mandatory these days.

Yes, I took some with a blue filter on but was dissatisfied with the look, I will experiment more.

Film is a lost art, and it's a shame really. I used to love to shoot film, but all the dev labs around here closed up shop, and I don't really have the time or the patience (or the room to be honest) for a dedicated darkroom.

I have this at my studio:

But it doesn't get as much use as it ought to (on account of it's very time consuming to use, and very very expensive for the film and development)

 

But it does make very lovely mistakes: (spoilered as it's mildly racy)

drone photography is improving all the time, but the horizon in that shot is wonky, as is the lighting on the right side

never got into film but I've got family with plenty of film gear, at some point I should figure out what they still got

I really like the framing and how you can tell at one point it got used a lot

 

 

I went 2 ways with this edit but I'll show of this version first

Good exposure, decent composition, but as you said, focus and the image is a bit soft, could fix that with your shutter speed.

 

Most of my Nikon glass so far, man do I love expensive gold ring zooms. I shoot them all manual on my EOS R using a manual adapter. This was shot with my only Canon lens left that I use (just bought its Nikon replacement though) my Canon nFD 50mm F/3.5 macro at 1/200 and a high ISO of 200, on the EOS R.

any recommendations of making something like that but different. I like that by the way, I think I shot it at f2.0 and also not on a macro lens. My mistake

Can’t tell if you’re referring to my image or the one you took. If you’re referring to mine, I can’t exactly help you recreate a photo with my style. It wouldn’t look good anyway. If you mean your own flower photo, then, uh, what you want to take pictures of and compose around is kind of a you thing. I can’t tell you what picture to take.
