Photography Challenge: Spoopy edition
Hopefully a topic that's a bit less abstract this time.
Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to create a spooky image. If it evokes a sense of mystery or spookiness, or, in general, looks like a place you'd rather not be alone, let's see it. Spooky people, spooky landscapes, spooky cornerstore lots lit only by a long exposure for a dingy old streetlight's orange light.
Bonus points for having winter involved in any way.
Points doubled for it having been made after you see this thread.
Let's have this be less about critique and more about what kind of unique images you can create in some allotted amount of time for yourself. At least until we get bored of the topic.
This is the only image of relevance I've recently taken. Before shooting a graduation ceremony, I ducked into the abandoned halls and found a locked set of doors leading to a creepy hallway. Image is junk because the glass on the door was fogged and didn't allow much light through. Heavily processed to make it not worthless.
Announcement.
Please move all further posts to the new 8chan /p/ board: http://beta.8ch.net/p

Photography Challenge: Deadpan
The deadpan aesthetic portrays the subject in a deliberately emotionless and otherwise impassive, matter-of-fact manner. Photographs in this style are usually casual, monotone, devoid of emotion, centered, and sharply in focus.
Your challenge is to create a deadpan photo and post it on 8chan. I will start the thread with a few famous examples.
Is there a resource for finding pictures taken with certain camera/lenses besides google? All I can ever find are pictures taken by the companies themselves when I'm really just curious about what normal people have accomplished.
Picture related, damn short film dominates the search results for D7200
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.
Pretentious critiques
Let's post shitty photos and critique them like a fine art reviewer.
Rules:
1. You must critique at least one shitty photo before you post your own shitty photo.
2. Only shitty photos allowed.
3. Only pretentious critiques allowed.
4. You must title your photo and/or provide a description along with it.
5. Max one photo per post.
I'll start. I call this photo, "Chestnut Autumn Wishes".

Ruels? Wat r they?
Rules are good only if they correspond to interests of the community.What scanner to get?
Hey guys, glad to see traffic is starting to pick up around here.
Anyhoo, I have a couple of boxes of old family photos that I want to scan and digitize. Any recommendations on a good scanner?
I don't need anything state of the art, just something that can scan at a high quality and isn't to large.
Thanks!
Pinhole photography
Just hand developed a roll of pinhole photographs and scanned them in. These were taken with a holga 135 pinhole camera on tri-x 400 film. I developed them with fujifilm chemicals. 7 minutes in the developer, 1 minute in the stop bath, 9 minutes fixer, and a 10 minute water wash.
The roll was really overexposed because I miscalculated how long I should shoot each frame for (it was my first time shooting with a holga pinhole). Anyways, here they are.
Also, general pinhole photography thread.
How is a photo like this achieved?
I came across this photo on /fa and I'm curious as to how it came out so nice looking.
I'm assuming that it's from the composition and the color-grading.
There's also something else about it, almost like there's a filter placed on top of it that makes it appear almost like it's vector based. I've never seen a more soothing photo than this.
Does anyone else see what I'm talking about? Anymore photos like this?
I'll be in Dublin from late 14th June to early 19th June.
I'd love to have a beer with one of you if you happen to be there too.
I want to go shoot Bloomsday obviously but if you have other suggestions for must-see places or events please tell me.
This is the start of my plan to travel a lot more and worry a lot less.
Color thread
How would you achieve this kind of color?
>low quality ancient Streetview frame
Yes, I know.
I'm a color photographer. I am absolutely fascinated with colors and how they blend with shapes and light. I love films, edits, and processes that give a high contrast, deep over-saturation of colors. I also love weird and funky colors.
My favorite times to shoot are when the sun is in the middle of waxing and it happens to be a very bright day; sometimes, if the conditions are just right, and the exact perfect amount of particles are in the air, and the leaves are all in the right place, and you've sacrificed at least 20 beetles, you can get extremely bright colors and funky contrasts. The perfect time to shoot grainy film.
Aside from the question of the thread, what kinds of colors do you like? What kind of film produces your favorite colors? What about camera settings and photo edits?
This is a color thread, motherfucker.
Experimental photography thread
Kneel before the OTTER OF POWER!Where can I sell large antique photo prints?
I have a collection of original photo prints by Edward S Curtis, photographer of American West and Native Americans in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Are there any good niche places to sell them? I'm looking for something other than eBay, if possible.
Repeating photo thread #2
Depending on community you communicate in you may hear this never or quite oftenly: you can use not only wide angle lens to shoot landscapes!Dumping Light Painting Series
Hi 8chan /p/. Let me say that i mostly lurked /p/ over there and didn't like posting because people are unreasonable assholes (for the lulz) but I hated it./vid/ Video General - #1
A thread for those working with video or film. Be it Narrative, documentary, or videography. Feel free to discuss technique, share your work, and debate gear.Colour scheme
Do you ever aim at making the result of your work to represent the reality in terms of colour and tonality?/p/ on 8chan
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at The Art Institute of Chicago, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on art galleries, and I have over 300 confirmed picture sales. I am trained in gorilla photography and I’m the top black and white developer in the entire US. You are nothing to me but just another hipster photo wannabe. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your Instagram. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can photograph you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my iPhone. Not only am I extensively trained in large format photography, but I have access to the entire arsenal of medium format digital cameras from the local Art School and I will use them to their full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
