Fixing it would require finding a tutorial on how to undo. If you loved the purple one, you'll love this specific area of whatever this is.

Why again are people so in love with HDR and pushing vibrance all the way up? Photographers keep doing it and people keep eating it up everywhere outside of the Dorkroom. I think I know why but I don't get how it hasn't gone away yet.

Details = quality. "Novel" appearance = art. I imagine that's basically it, as someone who also fell into the HDR trap when I started doing photography.

People who don’t know how to recognize good composition and general meaning from photography, whether intuitively or through training, will appreciate anything that differentiates a photo from what they can take with their cell phone vs. an image that has been processed and looks different than what they can achieve. This is why lovely filters are popular, why HDR is popular and well liked, why Dutch angles are a norm for things like wedding photography (they are seeing something that most people don’t do so it is immediately seen as artistic) etc. There are analogs in music too and the dumber and less trained people are to appreciate art, the lower the bar goes.

I see less HDR lately and a lot more savage abuse of saturation sliders so I guess that's the trendy thing again. In other news, this: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-how-the-quest-for-the-perfect-selfie-forced-an-ontario-sunflower-farm/ Farmers charge a fee to let people come take pictures among their sunflowers, it hits instagram, thousands of people show up and trash the place.

Omnes Facebook Delenda Est. I tend to think of overdone HDR, lovely B&W conversions with the clarity slider pushed all the way, spot colour abuse, and oversaturated stuff as being the fatty, salty cheap carbs of photography. People have an immediate reaction to it regardless of its actual quality. Most people don't think too much about what makes a good picture or about stuff like composition weight, leading lines, and similarly obscure terms, they just see something that's different (as rio said) and have a reaction that they interpret as 'this is good'.

With most amateur photographer poo poo, I mostly learned they were bad when I actually started taking photos and processing them. I think a lot of people think selective coloring is good because a lot of photographers do it, so who are they to say it sucks when those people have fancy cameras and expensive image processing software to create such works? What do they know about photography, anyway? Actually trying to do photography made me see that pushing sliders makes an image look too ugly, and there's the whole storytelling thing going on, etc etc. On my side of the world the trend is pale-skinned East Asian-looking girls in soft colors and "intimate" settings (even if I live in Southeast Asia).

I feel you on the glut of random super-pale Asian girls in boudoir settings. Where I am (Bangkok), the local photogroups are full of them. The rest of the photos are either stereotypical B&W "street" photography (read: photos of homeless people), or lovely cellphone sunset photos.

 "This picture has the coolest imagery going on. In front of perhaps the ugliest background, I took this photo with the reflection at the perfect level. Right at the top of my subjects head is the beginning of the reflection of the trees all around us. There is also a perfectly placed ray of sunshine gleaming down to the perfect spot on his forehead. It creates powerful imagery and turns an ugly background into the perfect background of a photo with this much complexity." https://www.getfractals.com/gallery/creative-portrait-camera-filter

Going back to some of the earlier discussion about photogs charging barely anything for photo sessions... a friend of mine and I were doing some research on convention cosplay shooters (and why I don't do it). We actually found someone that A) was only wanting $20 for a 30 minute session, and B) would give that person all the RAW files. So many things to say... not enough booze here to do it.

If you do please post it somewhere, I'd love to see it. Lately the only camera I'll take to a con is my Instax Wide 300. I'll take one for myself and then another to give to them (along with a sticker for our website). They're super appreciative when you give them a physical memento of how they were wearing that costume at that particular time. indyrenegade posted:Thank you for that actually. I took some good advice from it. Glad you got something out of it. We do have a lot of fun with this exploring how we see these characters in the situations we come up with. It's kinda like fanfic... minus the bad writing and self-inserts sleeping with whoever.
