These shots are nothing else but shots you've taken to see how your camera works. Take a look at >>743, an anon who was on a trip to iceland. Used the same camera as you did.

I really have no idea about why should be advertised on this boards but I still feel scepsis about untargeed advertising.

What is the most important property of photography?

Photography gives me the ability to remember the monent of reality observed from a given point of view and then reexpirience it as many times as I like and in the ways which I may alternate.

I mean: if we want to attract quality posters we'd better say something important on our banners.

I just thought that we may make banners with wise photography-related quotes.

So does /p/ like any photography channels or review sites? Stuff like Digitalrev, Lanier or that guy with the baby making hips Matt G?

Most of these guys seem to talk the talk but they're all sort of dysfunctional looking, I guess that does not have an effect on skill but it's hard to trust a guy wearing a studded fedora.

Picture related, his hair line can't be that bad.

Can you expand an image to a big size without damaging it? or maybe afterwards fix the quality with a program or something? Is there a program for that?

I have a thumbnail (not pic related) that I want to make bigger, is it possible? What is the best solution?

False, it is possible. Use this tool:

Example is OP's image enlarged using this method. Enjoy.

Anonymous 11/18/15 (Wed) 06:03:44 No.1134

>>1124

You may use any program which supports bicubic or Lanczos resizing. They won't ruin any information which you have on thumbnail.

However, they won't introduce any new information either and your pic will still have resolution of a thumbnail just without square pixels showing.

If you want to upscale an image and make it look like it is it's own resolution you should redraw the textures and details manually...

... or search for a bigger image with Google.

The tool from >>1130 is suitable for solid-painted images (partcularly from cartoons), it won't be much better than upscaling if applied to a photograph.

Finally back home.

Sleeping in your own bed after 2 weeks is so nice.

There was some anon here considering getting his wife a m4/3. Pic related is a direct comparison between post-processing something properly and having the camera do it. Maybe that'll also help you decide.

I used the "vivid" setting on the in-camera converter and pushed the shadows a little bit, but other than that the photo was unchanged.

"Chestnut Autumn Wishes" fills my heart with the delightful joy of nostalgia for years gone by. The powwrful imagery of two chestnuts in an open hand supplies the viewer with an unprecedented view into the life of photographer anon. Anon's motive for this shot is obvious in the composition with a slightly dirty fingernail conjuring feelings of the unknown. Obviously Anon is a master photographer in her element and this is among her greatest work.

One does not open the aperture to brighten the background when using flash.

One should decrease shutter speed instead.

I know about that one should decrease shutter speed because it is somewhat common knowledge. I yet have to use flash for something more advanced than freezing water drops - I just did not get interested in a subject which required it.
