how does the original colour photo look if you take the exposure down a bit? it seems overly bright and with the haze even more so. i wonder if underexposing it would look good

If people want to try a zillion different approaches I'll just post the raw in that dead processing contest thread and let people have fun. I have been convinced it's better as color though, haven't done the work on it yet but next time I open LR I'm gonna try it.

Nice ones lately. I'm enjoying the layering, especially in the first.

So I haven't posted in years, but I recently found this thread again and wanted to participate. Feel free to roast my heavy handed editing and repetitive simplistic rule of threes compositions.

The first and the parked car are my favorite due to them being placed in a context. Nice.

I feel like it's babby's first architectural preference because it's the most striking and obvious theme you could pick in architecture, the more nuanced stuff kinda doesn't get the same appreciation a lot of the time because it's not as bold in it's statements. I like it too but I think it's one of few styles of architecture that constantly is having new people discover strong feelings about it outside of the profession.

Hard light, boring cars (not fetishized old clunkers on film) and national brand signs. True banality.

Anyway I dig real nap poo poo's stuff. Although I didn't get it at first I must admit. I see their work as a really cool documentation of the banal. It's precisely because no one really notices or looks at this bland stuff that to see it photographed and presented as art really works for me. Once all this turns to rubble there will be a million pictures of the Sydney Opera House but few people are documenting strip malls. Maybe as a brit there's a bit of fetishising the open-space modern americana of it all. I do prefer the more empty scenes without cars though I must say. Although given that cars are stationary 99% of the time I suppose there as much a part of the landscape as the buildings.

I can appreciate and see the craft of it, there's absolutely value in recording the mundane world around us. I just don't like looking at it.

This isn't my favourite real nap set but I always appreciate bringing an artistic eye to the quotidian. This is a well considered photo, the colours, the framing. It's put together nicely, and is pleasing to look at but more than any particular message it's just an invitation to see how the photographer sees his environment. It's not capturing obvious present beauty, but finding it where one does expect.

real nap poo poo posted:i'm not going to say what your photos look like e- sorry, there are nicer ways to have put that. The second photo doesn't look like anything is in focus. It looks exactly like what happens when you zoom in on a street view photo, especially an older one, like c2016. Finger Prince fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Sep 19, 2021 |

From 6' even the folieage just looks out of focus, but getting really close, it's all jaggies and blocks so I can't really tell. The heavily compressed look is probably part of why I think it looks like google street view.

I love this. That tiny keyhole glimpse of something green and organic through the wall of rigid uniformity. The square crop works really well.

Nigel Tufnel posted:I can't tell of this is criticism or praise?? Anyway I dig real nap poo poo's stuff. Although I didn't get it at first I must admit. I appreciate it. No doubt the banal/quotidian/parking lot/ genre has outsized representation ITT, but for the most part the presentation is a little twee: soft light, pastel palettes evoking color negative film, and yeah no cars and very selective inclusion of signs. That’s what I tend to go for myself, too. But the set in that post has a more documentarian quality and feels comparatively uncontrived. It looks more common, more really banal. It’s not as aesthetically pleasing to me, but it’s visually rich.

i like real nap poo poo's stuff. like smersh said, it swims in the same waters as the other 'parking lot' photos, but goes against the grain with strong colors/contrast and generally being more 'lived in' spaces (there is even a person in the jetstream photo).tompepper posted:
i love a good vine photo

True banality. i like this. i think there’s an obvious nostalgia for old cars that wasn’t present in the images that people now view as nostalgic and emulate (shore/eggleston/etc), and the way to embrace that original perspective is to just look at what’s the commercial language of now
