Full disclosure on a few things here, folks. I do actually know my way around a camera and editing. The gate pic was an experiment of sorts showing the extremes in Luminar AI if you throw every option and slider at a photo. Yes, it was intentionally overcooked. The sky isn't even real, that can now be faked in, the flare is fake, haze was added, etc. It was a throwaway photo from a year ago that wasn't in focus and as a case study in being able to turn a crap shot into a salvageable shot I started messing with it. Once I learned that you can literally paint a new scene in Luminar I went nuts trying to make a photo that actually looked painted. I wanted to see what I could pull out of a photo that I normally would delete. So yes, overcooked but for a purpose.

The Kodak 120 was shot on a $15 plastic holga in a series where I was learning not only to shoot film for the first time, but on a janky throwaway camera that falls apart when you try to load film.

You all didn't know that background, but I'm saddened that as artists we are tearing others down instead of building them up.

you think calling your photos terrible is tearing you down?

Me specifically? No.

If you want a hugbox to farm congratulations for your art, make a facebook group.

In these parts you get torn down so you can build back up the right way.

I think I'm pretty hip to that criterion.

Part of my art, off this board, is people's reaction to art and the psychology behind it. So it's interesting to me to see fellow artists telling someone to not do art a certain way, to stop making art, or just generally calling them terrible. It doesn't lend to growing a community of like-minded individuals. Creative criticism and being kind to others is different, as seen in the approach of bellows, and my hat is off to you, goon.

Now back on the subject of fences

Too much haze? That's my critique

Welcome to the something awful dot com forums! I think this is the fastest we've seen someone move from rolling with the punches to the puppetmaster stage. :tipshat: Can I ask in which Facebook group you found these images?

Oh thank you, they were captured by me. Alas, I have to admit the only group of books I've faced lately are these.
