It reminds me of those photobooths that automatically filter and photoshop things into oblivion. By that i mean any subject comes out looking like an npc from the game oblivion

It's just a modern gimmick aesthetic and people always flock to and overuse anything that creates some separation from the previous generation. In ten years they'll regret the decision and those photos will disappear from display. Well technically in ten minutes they'll disappear because that's how the internet works, but a new selfie with the exact same processing will replace it.

The bit I'm amused by is that crazy things like that really cranked up HDR/tone mapping fad from a few years ago or badly applied CG make sense to me to why people did them. But this one has eluded me for a while now. The funny thing is one of the photographers I used as an example here has used this style for YEARS. Since they're relatively local I'd love to ask them how they developed that style. And not to ask it in a 'this sucks' sort of way; it would be to get some insight into their creative philosophy. While I may not agree with the style maybe understanding what got them there will help me learn something.

Just run it thru instagram and choose the filter of choice. Thats the creative process here.

Lifted black points and mild desaturation is supposed to look generically vintage like a faded print, I think Its poo poo

RIP Flickr. They sent pro users a plee for more money. quote:Dear Flickr Pros, Enjoy 25% off Pro until they shut down in a few months, I guess.

The CEO has been on reddit assuring people they aren't gonna shut downquote:I'm sorry if the email smacked of doom, that certainly wasn't my intent. Flickr is not in danger of dying, but if it can't become self-sustainable, we'll have to try some other things. We think the community just didn't realize what we're trying to do, so I thought we should tell them. That's all.

Jesus, I'm really, really struggling with my photography lately. I seem to hate almost every image I take. I get some nice snaps of the kids, but anything that I try and put more effort into ends up looking like bland, boring junk to me.  / fake edit: I should probably start posting in the critique thread to get some external feedback.

I'm in the same spot, but attribute it to spending a lot more time studying other people's work who are good at the craft and then judging my own stuff to that standard. I assume it'll eventually translate into a good result but 2019 was a steaming wet fart.

I knew about the Yahoo login removal (THANK GOD) but didn't know about the move to AWS or beefing up the support staff. Kinda wonder what the costs were on those last two. I did appreciate the candor though.

Remember how I asked people in here to give us some photo critique? We finally published our findings. I will warn you it's a long read. https://www.makethemawesome.com/home/2019/12/20/the-great-photo-critique-experiment If any of you decide to go look at the actual feedback data you might be amused by some of the commentary in there.

Some non-photo related critique: I found this hard to navigate because your section headings and your links are treated the same. I also found the fixed header to be pretty distracting while reading.

I also found the fixed header to be pretty distracting while reading. Yeah, I do wish there was a better way to handle the page navigation/viewing for something like this. Like the template we use is fine for our shorter articles/photo sets. Just not here. Might have been a way to solve for that with some creative coding. But with how long this project has gone on (we started working on it back in early September) and we just now got it finished we wanted to get it out there. I can add something to the next page links at the bottom to hopefully make things a bit more obvious though.

These are good thoughts to keep in kind, especially since it is a hobby to me. If I was trying to make a living off this, then it’d be worth fretting over, but if I’m doing it for fun, then why get all bent out of shape? Thanks for the perspective. 👍

So it turns out we will be doing our light painting demo at a local con this weekend. One that has a bigger attendance than the first time we did it. Plus we have our original suggested runtime (90 minutes). At least this way we can show off more ideas. Now to hope that people show up.

Posted this in the General Q thread because I forgot that there is indeed a General Chat thread, might be useful to those who don’t read there. It’s probably not new news, but could save you some $. EL BROMANCE posted:Just because we don’t really have a general discussion thread, I read on one of the Facebook groups people were getting good results from ‘cancelling’ their adobe subscriptions today. Seems the best deal is if you pay yearly, but I pay for the $9.99 photography pack for Lightroom/Photoshop and going through the process it gave me 60 days for free, so worthwhile enough for a minutes work. Others saw $hundreds saved.

Plus we have our original suggested runtime (90 minutes). At least this way we can show off more ideas. Forgot to report back on this one. We did have a much better turn out this time around. We ended up with a really rushed setup and some technical issues at the beginning. But having conversations with the audience while we were going through that helped smooth things over. And then once we go rolling people really got into it. Everyone had fun being a part of things... especially when we had a bunch of people throw glow sticks around. What got me were the questions people were asking. They understood the starting points we wanted to present and were already thinking things through on how to make them better. That REALLY surprised me. And it turns out we'll be presenting this demo and another one at a con next month. Really looking forward to seeing where these things get us.

Remember when they fat shamed someone in a comments section then when called out on it they put out a video saying “it totally wasn’t us, because we would’ve said something funnier” rather than apologize.
