That sounds easy and complicated at the same time since I'm never done image stacking or masking.
Re-editing a few photos I did a while back.
For this particular one, I'm not sure if I like this or the non-faded one I also did.

Colors pop more in the second one, but so do the wrinkles in the fabric, which are a bit distracting I guess.Re-editing a few photos I did a while back.

Hey guys,
I am quite new with DLSRs and editing software but I'm trying to learn a bit more. I will try to post regularly here to learn a bit more and share some moments
I use a Canon 500D and just edited exposure and contrast on Adobe Lightroom

The context of the picture and a few more examples are here: http://imgur.com/a/zmKe3
I use a Canon 500D and just edited exposure and contrast on Adobe Lightroom
If the shadows aren't too noisy in the last one I'd lower the exposure a bit and increase the shadows to bring out the guy in the front.
I'm a sucker for low contrast tho.
Edit: If it's not too hard (I'm not a lightroom user) you could also mask the buildings and up the blacks and lower the exposure there so they got a bit more contrast. There should also be a dehaze option which might help bring the buildings out more unless you want that hazy look.

I'm starting to get into the habit of fucking with my tone curve in Lightroom, I don't know if this is good or bad just due to added editing time...

You ever think to talk to your subjects and get them to pose for you ? Captain America chick here is an obvious candidate but I've seen plenty of other interesting looking people in your street photography over the years. I'm sure miss captain America would have done some fun super hero pose. It could add some more interesting or at least different style of your usual which tends to be people mostly standing around, sitting around, walking around, or taking photos. Or maybe go to different parts of the city and shoot candida like this and work on really integrating the character of the place as well as the people within it. Just some thoughts.

I generally just try to leave people alone as much as I can. People might have a different reaction if they know you're actually taking their picture so I really just leave them alone. I also just stick to certain places cause I don't want to either get mugged or get my shit broke by someone who just wants to be an asshole that day.

They seem a little... strong... It might just be personal preference but (at least with color) for photos of people, you don't want to exaggerate the colors too much -- it just sticks out too bad.
Anyway, here's a few photos of mine. Still working on my black and white game.

Yeah I do need to start reigning my colors in a bit more, it's probably what I get for being like...maybe 70 and up on contrast in Lightroom. I like the first and the third one you put up.They seem a little... strong...

Thank you! I wasn't entirely sure about putting up what would traditionally be a macro photo, but in black and white. Seemed a little weird but figured I would anyway.
I do most of my editing on mobile via Snapssed lol so no real masking option there.
I tried it here though:

What iso you at? I wouldn't professionally shoot indoor low light events with a D70. Is 3200 even usable on it?Couple of pictures of my pup in low light:

ISO1600, which seems to be the limit. Also EV + 0.7, I believe, for these shots. Then I just corrected it for white balance -> exported as PNG.
JadedWriter

ISO 1600 as the max? Sweet jesus. The noise isn't that noticeable but at the same time the picture isn't too big either. Everybody else keep in mind I'm looking at this from the perspective of a person that shoots low light receptions using natural light. I guess if you shoot flash aided it don't matter, but my last event was pretty much iso 3200 and 5000 material.
I should probably start posting here. My friend invited me to a photography meetup and we went shooting around town. This same friend modeled for us and I thought these were pretty good. Another one of the group was directing her. It was a great learning experience. Criticism welcome.

Yah, 2006 camera
I've had it since college. Hence my musings of going FF and getting a 750D. But I'm still entirely undecided between that and an X-T2 and staying APS-C. I really, really like the pictures I see coming from XT-2s.One of these days I'll make up my mind and take the plunge.
JadedWriter

I think ultimately it depends on what you need the camera for. They're both great cameras. Fuji's seem to have excellent color rendition and the D750 seems to be a jack of all trades. I want mirrorless just to save weight mostly.Yah, 2006 camera

This is what attracts me most to the X-T2. The colors I see in the pictures taken with it seem to be second to none. But I would love to be shooting extremely wide, and that can only truly be achieved with FF, a game Fuji doesn't play with their mirrorless cameras.
If I do get the X-T2, it'll be alongside the XF10-24MM F/4 R OIS + XF56MM F/1.2R.
Haven't fully considered what glass to get with the 750D, but probably the 14-24mm f/2.8G.
I don't even know which to pick at this point, though. Sigh.

I guess it's kind of your style, and we all definitely have our own style it's not a bad thing, just think maybe you can break out of that comfort zone and explore a little bit with your photography.

Secret Weapon2016 by Samuel Vasquez, on FlickrDual-Power by Samuel Vasquez, on FlickrSonic-Boom by Samuel Vasquez, on FlickrRage Bacon Offer by Samuel Vasquez, on FlickrWas it a proper job or just for fun? Was there a food stylist?
First one I like except for the toothpick at the top, wish there was some black space above it. Maybe you can PS it. Kind of distracting to have it leading out of the frame. Next one, is the onion ring on top of bun actually how they serve it? Pretty weird. Third is eh...weird crop and angle. Last one looks nice except is that a towel on the table in the back? Not sure, on mobile it looks kind of weird, maybe remove it next time? Also the beer label is obscured.
These comments maybe are more for if it was a job I guess, if you were just at a restaurant eating then they are pretty amazing.

I was going to go some place else actually but I got held up at work for too long and I had to go home and park my car some place in my neighborhood so I didn't have any travel time. I usually just prefer to capture people acting naturally. If they notice me and decide to interact a bit then fine but I'm not forcing it. Ice skating season is in a couple of weeks so I can't wait to hit that action again. I will admit to having a comfort zone though. I'd shoot other things, but can't get too wide on this camera and I'm not a stitched panorama person, I think if I have to do too much shot planning it just doesn't work out for me,

These are paid but they are supposed to seem as candid as possible and show a bit of the restaurant environment. When I do a shoot for an ad or a special offer it's more along the lines of this.
Mega-Smash-Photo by Samuel Vasquez, on Flickr I don't upload the files straight from the camera. By the time I upload it's already the 3 or 4 file I've saved. For those the first 3 shots I used the cheap 50mm prime from Canon at an aperture of maybe 2-4. ISO no more than 200 and the speed at around 120. One light and a reflector.
The third one was with a kit lens at around f8 and the same ISO and speed. 2 Lights. The one with the red background is probably f14 with the kit lens. Same everything else.
Canon 60D, Kit lens and a Nifty Fifty, nothing more nothing less. Most shoots are done with the Kit lens because it's easier to autofocus. I don't believe EXIF shows the whole story since 99.9% are artificially lit and that's where I get whatever look you see in my pics from.
JadedWriter

Yeah we clearly shoot two different ways, you control the light a lot more than I do, I'm just natural light, though I do have to get a second flash at some point, though I hate bringing all that shit with me. My last set of portraits was natural light, place was too packed and too much of a tourist attraction to even allow for a light set up. Your stuff is really good though.
supernormal
Member
Thanks man. It's all different styles. I really have a hard time doing that sort of tourist/candid stuff that you do, since I'm all about preparation. I'm really scared of the whole miss the moment type of the things. Which is why I avoid shooting weddings and stuff like that. So for you to capture some the shots that you do in that way without a lot preparation is really impressive as well.
JadedWriter
Member
It's all about settings and keeping your eyes open. I think I do it a lot cause I shoot corporate events and I'm trying to keep my eye and settings judgement decently sharp. It actually makes me now wonder what kind of shooting is actually harder, your preparation based shooting or the on the fly stuff that I do?
supernormal
Member
It really depends on the person. I really love creating the photo in my head, and then building it in real life. Like a painting perhaps. I don't feel comfortable going into a place with nothing and then figuring it out right then and there. Even if I get a good shoot I will always feel like if I could go back and direct the shot and prep it then it would have reached it's full potential.
I guess a lot of the satisfaction of candid shots comes from the fact that they are real and pretty much capture a special moment in life as is.

There's that and the fact that capturing stuff spontaneously in the moment and nailing the shot is quite satisfying cause it is not easy at all.
Capturing these were not easy:

Yup, especially getting that focus on point with such a shallow DOF.

Not to mention that it's moving which throws the AF off badly at times and I have to be at the right shutter speed to even freeze the action. At times a lot of it is about adjusting on the fly to figure out what works.
Re-edit is much better imo, more natural colors.

I feel like there could be middle ground between the two. Not as warm but still a slight bump in exposure with the re-edit to bring her forward.

First off, I know nothing about cameras and I've been contemplating purchasing a camera for photos as I enjoy taking pictures. Do you think a Nikon d3300 is a solid purchase if I'm coming from an iPhone 6? I know there are obviously more expensive options out there but not looking to spend a fortune. Want to keep it around ~$500 or so. The other thing is I live in Washington so it's a bit rainy outside of summer so I'm assuming I'd have to purchase some kind of waterproof housing...didn't even look how much those run tbh. I've also just considered getting a gopro 5 since I mainly taking photos while hiking and it's already waterproof. So conflicted on what to do lol.
