 I've lived in a lot of places that look like these, the second one in particular reminds me of moving into/out of lovely old flats in Wellington. I almost feel like I've lived in that place Wafflecopper fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Sep 21, 2021 |

bellows lugosi posted:i’d be interested in you posting some examples (not of your own images, of course) of what sort of photographs really excite you It's really varied. Alkanphel's are in general very good. Nigel Tufnel often hit the spot. And they're both taking pictures I can't take. Dreadheads, but then that's right up my alley (and area). Some of Megabounds. I like pretty pictures, but I also like challenging pictures, so it doesn't have to be 'perfect'.

I don't follow specific photographers, but I fail to see how that is relevant?

He's asking cause you said that Naps photos didn't do it for you, so he's interested in seeing what does. The next question will probably be why

Please stop trying to police what is good discussion in a thread where we discuss photos and opinions. Talking about art makes us better artists.

It's really weird that you consider a question about one's taste in photography on a forum about photography condescending. Have you considered that it is, in fact, you bringing down a thread of people who like to discuss photography?

If you don't want to contribute to the discussion then don't. If you want to browse photos without discussing art then I highly recommend you become a redditor. Also no one cares if this thread is inviting. Art is a full contact sport here. 8th-snype fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Sep 22, 2021 |

Why not crop out that stray bit of pole? Or is that from not being square on the scanner? Not judging, it's just the sort of thing I would instantly obsess over so am curious.

Tbh I'm pretty sloppy with my scans as I do it to proof and a little bit of web sharing and then I wet print my final stuff.

Arguments, questions, comments and debate about content and art and quality are good fun, but can also be inspiring. My comments about Google street view, and subsequent posts about documenting the banal got me thinking. Google is out there documenting the banal at a scale that no human documentarian can possibly approach. Drop your little yellow dude in any small town in America, play around with zoom and angle, and you can get some pretty mundane shots of everyday life in Nowheresville. So I thought, what if I could emulate that myself? Stand in the street and take a picture of nothing in particular, with no real thought to subject except to deliberately have none. I took a bunch of bad photos that didn't quite work, but a couple that showed promise. I blurred faces, numbers on stores, licence plates in GIMP, tried to make it look as street view as I could. It was an interesting experiment and I wouldn't have thought to try it were it not for the discussion itt. I'm going to keep working on it - I haven't got anything worth sharing yet - but I think the idea has promise and hopefully I can manage to pull off something like what I'm thinking.
