It's impossible to tell when you're shitposting and when you're doing it earnestly. That's on you. Plenty of people have engaged with you seriously (myself included) and we're met with the same energy as when you claim to be joking.

Slotducks posted:why the gently caress is the criticism in this thread so loving aggro? people talking about what art is or not wtf. Probably because the response to legit helpful criticism is so flippant and bratty. It invites more harsh words.

echinopsis posted:maybe you need an avatar that looks less like a bratty child You can spend the money to own me just as hard as the last goon did Slotducks posted:I dunno, I've been watching/reading this thread for a while - the feedback feels much different than in other threads. Way more declarative and way more pointed and harsh. I think that’s just the culture of Dorkroom “main” threads. I’ve been on both sides of it, where I posted badly over edited photos and got ripped for it and defensive, but in the end they were mostly right and it helped me be better. Anyone expecting SA to be universally chill and friendly is probably in the wrong place, but that’s also kinda the charm of it. Concert thread is good and chill though, and I’m glad for it.

That's the best portrait you've posted in a long time. Colors are way better. It still looks a little soft and the brightest part of the image is the background instead of the subject, but much better overall.

Softness doesn’t come from only your stubbornness with cranking grain. What’s the aperture, sharpening, and export sharpening settings?

Bring one light more in front of the model and raise it up pointing down toward them. Move the other light more around back and lower the power a bit. Dump the hair light or use it bare bulb on backdrop to light it up more seamless (but not blown out fully). Shoot subjects at their eye level at a longer focal length. TomR posted:This is a 24" x 24" sliding box camera I've been working on. It has a 600mm f/9 lens. These shots I was using it as a camera obscura and using a DSLR to take a photo of a foamcore board inside it. This is a super cool project but the end result just looks like the 35 f/2 shot on a 5D. It's impressive how clean it comes out, but it still just looks like a digital shot in the end. Any plans to go full analog for the setup?

Yeah side by side that’s way more pronounced that the standalone images imparted vs my memory of that lens. Is the second shot wide open?

Yeah, it could be cropped up a bit closer to waist level probably to lessen that. I'll give it a try

I'll do it, but it shouldn't be hard to get there yourself. Are you using Lightroom? If so, increase exposure by 1 stop and see how that is. If it's too much, dial back the highlights slider a but. Then use the auto mask feature to select the background and drop its exposure by 2.

That’s not a shot that needs 3 strobes and soft boxes though. Your background exposure is competing with your subject on the left side there. I think you’d be better off with a single source for that same look, as it looks like an off angle single source. The framing is off just enough to be really bothersome too, with the radio being just barely cut off, the dresser not being level, the subject being just off center, and the awkward placement of that painting completely drawing your eye off the subjects head.

 fun comparison between these two: one was shot on a canon 5D classic with an EF 50 1.8, one was shot with an R6 and RF 50 1.2. About 18 years difference in the tech.

Yeah that rules I did some family portraits for a friend and tried to capture more personality in their little one while still giving them the spring family portrait style they wanted     Pretty happy with them, letting kids play and have fun is 1000x better than trying to get them to pose and makes for better pictures every time.
