It has a cell phone look, where on a small screen it looks okay but on a real monitor it's mushy. Also the subject needs a bit more space around the edges.

Yeah I'd prefer it be quite a bit wider, it feels surprisingly claustrophobic. That being said, I feel like it's pretty good going by this thread's standards. The subject is clear, mostly in focus, and the saturation is only moderately cranked up.

Nah, it's pretty bad if it's getting "SHOULD BE IN A MUSEUM" type comments from some photography group. There's a subject but no focal point or lines or interest so your eye wanders around wondering what the gently caress the photographer wanted you to look at. The pond is ugly with poo poo floating in it and the branches on the right edge demonstrate the photographer didn't give a crap about framing. The whole image is a cluttered mess and going wider is only going to bring more distractions in. Some dweeb was walking around and was all "ohh, pink clouds!" and plopped their tripod into the pond full of confidence that SKY COLORS would get them internet fame. There might be a good photo in there somewhere, using the four trees to frame something might be worth a try but I ain't seeing it.

I've said this before, but Eric Kim is basically a low-rent Thorsten Overgaard. His photography is incidental, a means rather than an end, and the "Pick Adidas over Nike, Android over iPhone, underground over hip-hop, Chevy over Ford" posting isn't side-fluff; it's the entire point of the exercise. The great takeaway lesson of Eric Kim's existence is that it's about the sizzle, not the steak. It's about ego-stroking and finding some way to "differentiate" yourself and signal it as loudly as you can, because that means attention and attention means money. It's not about something so mundane as pictures; it's about the lifestyle. You only need to take photos so far as they can justify you posing and talking like a photographer, so you can "make $200K/year from photography". It's this: Soulex posted:Is the key to being successful sounding pretentious? He's not as obsessive about expensive gear as KRock or Thorsten or Steve Huff, but that feels like it's mostly because that gets in the way of buying more deluxe accessories (especially the "Haptic Industries" ones featured on his site, conveniently made by his wife's company in Vietnam but priced like German-made Oberwerths with better attention to details) and books (especially books by Eric Kim). The margins are much better on these than on something so pedestrian as referral links, anyways. If you want to push your lifestyle a little bit and give you something to talk about, you can take some classes (especially by Eric Kim), travel (especially to workshops by Eric Kim), or hang up some avant-garde photography in your home (by Eric Kim, naturally), but these are expensive at $1000+ so he understands if you can't quite swing them. ( I understand, in all due fairness, that Eric Kim is actually a really friendly and enthusiastic guy in person, but his web persona is 100% about the Photographer LARP. ) Cassius Belli fucked around with this message at 04:21 on May 2, 2019 |

lmao yeah that's already a terrible edit and it's all the funnier that it took him 3 hours and he considers that a point of pride also is it me or does some combination of the flowers in the background and that bokeh make it seem like it's spiraling?

The statue of liberty is a fine idea for a backdrop. In the hands of a photographer that has some sense of what they're doing. My favorite part is how the title suggests the president is on the helicopter, but the caption clarifies it's just waiting for him to show up. Some bored idiot was grabbing snapshots waiting for the big event and decided it was worth publishing.

Tell MY President, to enter the Helicopter from the left side and get a shot of both him entering with energy (big butt) and the statue in the frame.

I was visiting my inlaws in Colorado one time and we went to visit some friends of theirs for dinner one evening. Pretty standard family setting, suburban house, older parents, one daughter about my age at the time (mid 30s), son in late 20s. We get there and the parents and the daughter are getting everything together in the kitchen, the son isn't there yet because he has been travelling and is on his way home still. A car pulls up outside. It's a converted minivan with a sliding door. "Oh God!" says the father. "He's brought his girlfriend." Guy hops out the front. Normal-seeming, reasonably in-shape dude wearing regular urban fashion stuff. He waves at us in the kitchen and slides open the side of the van where there's a wheelchair ramp. This gets unfolded and a few minutes later he's wheeling a chair up the driveway. Father goes to the door. "Leave it in the car!" "But she's cold!" "I don't care, don't bring it into the house. We have guests tonight." Argument continues for a while. Father compromises on letting him into the house if the girlfriend stays in another room. Son insists that this is disrespectful to her and digs in. I'm pretty sure that violence is about to happen when the mother steps in and says it will be ok, she can come to the table. That was the most loving awkward dinner I've ever been at. There was this life-size doll in a wheelchair, complete with makeup, expensive looking clothes and jewellery. Everyone else at the table was either grinding their jaws in impotent rage or studiously pretending that it wasn't there. The son kept trying to involve the doll in conversations by asking it what its opinion was. Then he'd lean over with his ear near its mouth and make some kind of reaction. Everytime he referred ta a woman or actual female humans he'd be careful to qualify them with the term bio-women. It would be like "Oh, i was driving home and there was a bio-woman in the outside lane just texting on her phone, can you believe that!" Or "My friend who is a bio-woman called Judy says that...." He was telling us about how he had togo away for a week recently and he was so glad to be home again because his girlfriend had missed him so much.
