Welcome~
This Photography thread has been a long time coming, benefitting me to focus on editing, organising and deleting photos that I've had for a long while; and so I can have a bit of a back bone when it comes to saying to myself, which image I have taken is good or not.
- Here are my tools I use to take my photos~
I also would love to show my photos, to inspire and for others to enjoy.
Rules for this thread:
- No photos with people - Either portrait photography, family & friend photography, or street photography; to protect people's privacy - even if they have given me the right - I will not be sharing any of my photography if anyone is in the shot. I may allow shadows, or silhouette photography, as long as I can make sure you can't see the person at all.
- Very limited street photography / public places - Similar reason to protectiong other people's privacy, this is to help protect my privacy. Something like that. I also will not post any photos that have a clear shot of outside houses, cars. When it comes to some of my sky photos, I will do my best to edit roofs or at the very least, cut out most of it. Although roofs are quite simlar; so it should be alright.
- I will be honest and say if I have edited a photo - Sometimes, I take a photo but the lighting or colours wasn't perfect, and fixing it up in post changes it dramatically or hardly at all. I may even put a before and after; to see the difference.
- My photos will not be dated - This could be seen as protecting myself, but it's actually because my camera is very stupid. I got my first Olympus Pen in 2014, and for some maddening reason it has never dated photos correctly. I am pretty sure I even updated my camera date; and it's still behaving like it's 2014. But either way, I like making sure posts are in date order (see my Island/town Journals..) and not having a date can give me freedom of when I post anything I want here or not.
- Replying/reacting - I am comfortable with people replying and reacting to my posts on the thread. I am not just posting my photos, but do love to converse about them, answer questions and giving advice. I am also putting a selection of photos I have taken, on one post, so you may only want to converse about one or two of them. With reactions, I have had an fun idea. There are times I take a photo of one subject, and sometimes I an unsure which looks better. I might plan to post to get people's opinons on which image looks better, and using the reactions as your choice; I will mention in the post if I need help on the decision. Just an idea for now.
Without further ado, I have picked out five of my favourite images to start off with this first post~
- First post, so will be checking to make sure photos are okay in both mobile & computer viewing -
