[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 year ago (1 child) What techniques do you use? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] shneancy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (2 children) oh various ones! what i pick always depends on the lighting conditions, if the subject is stationary or moving, and the vibe i want for the photo. i definitely prefer single thought out takes rather than rapid fire 20 photos with hope that one of them is the one (i don't shoot sports often). And overall i really like framing things with the foreground to give a feeling of depth to the photo. In post processing i focus on making the photos look like i remember them to have been, coloured by memory and all that, rather than try to recreate realism 1:1. i'm being kinda vague but my photos are mostly on my PC and i use lemmy on mobile so can't point to anything more specific, and tbf, a lot of my best takes are just patience and or luck above all though, i like experimenting with how i shoot or edit :) thanks for asking <3 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] FollyDolly@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago I'm the opposite, lots of rapid fire photos, but I do photo a lot of animals. I don't pose them either. I like candid shots of the pets doing there thing. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago I got to sit through a photos and editing class as a para last year and I learned so much about it! I really wish film was easier to get developed because I have this beautiful 60 year old agfamatic that I adore using and now I actually know how to adjust for lighting and angle, different framing techniques, and everything, but I still can't afford to develop the shots. permalink fedilink source parent
