proper camera or phone camera?



ps, I've removed all exif data for you #solutionshortcutters

Hard to call with a processed image that is saved on the web. I’m going to guess phone purely due to the dark areas exhibiting a good amount of noise and crushed blacks. This could also come from processing mind you.

This is peaceful. I really like the lighting.
Must have been tough shooting to get the exposure right. (and some pp, I guess?)
You could ask Ken if this is worth doing a 'How I did it' post - virtually dis that in my reply but could illustrate with intermediate steps if it was worth it.

well, okay, I'll say proper camera, just to be the voice of dissent. Plus, your angles are all pretty straight, which is hard to do with a phone.

Do it! I'd love to see what you did.

Ken is scary. Can't you ask him? I'll give you my lunch money
He's not scary. Just give him a Glasgow kiss if he steps out of line!

(That might not translate!).

OK then, I’ll give it a go (the post that is, not the Malkie). Parliamo Glasgow which also might not translate....

Not sure what the story behind the message is. Just wish the SS felt the same.

We went to a rally on Saturday in protest of the Trump administration's policies on immigration in general and specifically the separation of children from their parents. Don't want to spark a political debate, but including another pic from the rally below.

For the pic you referenced, it was a lucky moment that I happened to catch. Not my stroller. Not my kid. Not the kid who belongs with the stroller.

I was taking some pics of my son and his cousin who were playing near the stroller (and made friends with the girl who is connected with the family of the stroller). Confused yet?

It was one of those weird moments where I saw the girl walking towards the stroller and immediately saw the pic I wanted in my head. I waited for her to get to the right spot and pressed the shutter.

In context it tells a story (a softer story than some of the other pics I took at the rally, but still a powerful story). I think it also works out-of-context (as a broader message about keeping all families together).

The capitol building is in the background but it is fairly blown out with just the hint of lines that could represent a stone wall (border wall?). Would be easy enough to remove them completely, but I think I like them there. I used a green filter in Silver Efex Pro to lighten the grass to give it a bit of a surreal feel and to separate it from the dark tones of the stroller. This also darkened the ribbon on her hat which I also liked. The letters on the sign suffered a bit as they didn't stand out as strongly, but I prefer it that way as the sign is important for the image but it isn't the most important element.

Bleh, enough babbling :)

Here is another pic from Saturday. It also tells a story.

Apologies for the potentially controversial nature of these pics. Not trying to piss anyone off. I was there with my camera and shot what I saw. The majority of the keepers from the day were actually of my son and niece :)

Contrary to my political stance, but great pictures - both of them!

Nice. I'll play

Don't think she needs a beauty dish.

Not to make it a competition, but this one wins!

Thanks for thought, definitely NOT a competition. inkmich posts some great car stuff and I really like that arena so when I see someone else posting I add my .02. I can't hold a candle to the guys and gals that post on this thread but every now and then I get lucky.

Thanks for the background. Makes sense now.
As for political nature, to me this is just photo journalism. Albeit done well. Gone story telling picture.

As for today's, any idea why the woman is holding a paper plate?

Thanks AFB :) Just because a pic has it's own context, doesn't mean it can't speak to other situations (we are living in a post-modern world after all ;)).

She isn't holding a paper plate. But not sure what she is actually holding. It isn't clear in the original either.

Going to post one other pic from the rally (as I said before the keepers from the day are the kiddo pics which I'm not comfortable sharing).

New day here on the East Coast.

Another politically charged pic. Documenting what I saw.

Beautiful place.

Phone - I'll tell you how I know later ;)

Cheers :)

I’m gonna say phone too. Mostly a wild guess, but somewhat an educated guess.

Hard to call with a processed image that is saved on the web. I’m going to guess phone purely due to the dark areas exhibiting a good amount of noise and crushed blacks. This could also come from processing mind you.
