you need to use the 3d as an effect that can add or be a gimmick, like bokeh or a small dof or film grain or split tone processing etc, not as a thing in itself to make a photo

The 3D is going to be the gimmick...

[Eltro102]

you don't have to use it as one

So...you're saying, take the photos with my DSLR? Non-3D? Where's the fun in that?

[QUOTE=blarghith;45249201]So...you're saying, take the photos with my DSLR? Non-3D? Where's the fun in that?[/QUOTE]

no, we're saying take interesting photos where the 3d compliments the scenario. if it doesn't help, what's the point?

[blarghith]

How's this for interesting?

On the positive side, I discovered I can upgrade to Lightroom 5 with a permanent license. :)

I don't think this is an issue. Or if it is, it shouldn't be.

calling anything in photography a gimmick is pointless

[lazy-E]

spent a few days down south with the family, took 104 photos and only liked 9 of them enough to post. most of these are SOOC, the only ones that aren't are the two with birds. ofcourse i edited the size of all of them, so i guess technically none of them are SOOC.. oh well, sorry for the big post guys.

a few of those seem somewhat underexposed/dark, especially the top 4. you should bring up your shadows a little bit. liking the top two otherwise, though

[Zeemlapje]

Do postprocess them because they are very flat.

[lazy-E]

redid the first four that were too dark, they came out better but i don't know how to get rid of the orange around the bottom. any ideas?

[QUOTE=Chubbles;45258933]completely non-edited. no post production at all. [/QUOTE]

Just curious, why are you stating this?

[samh]

you shouldn't be proud of no pp on digital

[Chubbles]

I was just stating it? I'm not on some high horse or proud of it at all. Jesus.

[editline]30th June 2014[/editline]

I know I'm not the best photographer and I'm not claiming to be. Fuck

[editline]30th June 2014[/editline]

fine. snipped it. whatever.

[codenamecueball]

can anyone start posting here, get asked a question and not go into full defensive mode?

[editline]1st July 2014[/editline]

like seriously we're here trying to understand you and get to know you as well as take your photos at face value and give you constructive crit. i guess it's difficult to understand coming from forums where everyones a dick but we're actually trying to help you improve.

[Chubbles]

because im not going to sit here and get berated by some dicks over a simple sentence I said when my whole point was the picture. I just wanted to say I didn't edit it, but that didn't mean I was being an over-pretentious dick about not editing it.

[editline]30th June 2014[/editline]

because I know I'm not good. and when I take a picture, edit it, sometimes I'm proud of it. But when I take a picture and am proud of it when have not edited it, then I'm happy with myself. that's all it was.

how do you expect to get any cc if you call us dicks? seriously, sort the attitude problem

[Chubbles]

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;45259101]how do you expect to get any cc if you call us dicks? seriously, sort the attitude problem[/QUOTE]

i didn't call YOU a dick.

clearly there is someone right above us who gave absolutely no cc and simply said "you shouldn't be proud of no pp in digital"

that's clearly just criticizing... for no reason?

and how are you going to tell me i have an attitude problem when you just called everyone a dick too?

[Uber|nooB]

whoa chillax everyone

and unsnip your picture, dude, nobody is being a dick

it's just that most people itt started a while ago and are used to cc that sounds harsh (but isn't really, it's just straight to the point, honestly)

it's a photography community, and "some dicks" is plural. don't be surprised if someone is going to take it personally.

he's giving his viewpoint, one that's shared quite widely. it can be seen as rude, but it's not offensive and certainly not meant to be an attack.

[editline]1st July 2014[/editline]

[QUOTE=Chubbles;45259128]and how are you going to tell me i have an attitude problem when you just called everyone a dick too?[/QUOTE]

i said it can be difficult to appreciate people are trying to help you when the rest of the internet and it's forums are generally full of dicks

[Uber|nooB]

i appreciate that it's sometimes difficult not to take it personally (i used to, and probably so did most people), but just roll with it for now, it will help in the long run
