Taken with a Minolta 5000AF and a 50mm f1.7
Used a roll of shitty Kodak 200ASA.
Dropped the colours out with GIMP then brought some of them back.
Opinions? C&C welcomed.

Good pic, blackness in the bottom left is annoying as fuck though

wat. Gimp is one of, if not the most popular Free raster editor.
Also, I believe much of the ceiling could be done away with. Otherwise nice picture.

Yeah the poxy railing got in the way. Could have sworn I'd got it out of the frame when I was shooting. Evidently I was wrong.
Here's a crop. Not sure it's gonna work after this though...
Also now my ratios are fucked for printing. Bawwwww...

Like this?
Also thanks for the comments guys.
As an aside, I use GIMP 'cause I'm a freetard. Only just starting using it too, seems pretty good so far though.

Here's another one from today I've shooped a bit.
Can't make up my mind about whether it sucks balls or not. I think I'm leaning toward suck.
Make up my mind for me, /p/!

yup it sucks. No interesting subject, background sucks, lighting sucks.
Colors look really bland aswell.
>> HansMolemann !P4c.m6tagA

Yeah the more I look at it the more I hate it.
Ah well at least I got one decent shot today...

Do you recognise it?

is there a way to get GIMP to read PEF (pentax RAW) or just RAW in general?

Guaranteed #1 way to make your pix look like DeviantArt faggotry.

STOP WITH THE DESATURATION
STOP WITH THE NEXTGEN BROWNS

Seriously, this shit is a fad and it's going to make your portfolio look dated as fuck.

Thank you for your considered and well measured comments...

This is the original, unedited (apart from resize) image.
I like it too but for different reasons.
The location itself felt very bleak when I was there, I don't feel this picture captures that, so I fucked with it until it did.

Too saturated.

I hate that the upper "foreground" out of focus. It's distracting. The only hope for a shot like this is if you make the geometry interesting - you didn't. What's the subject? Is it the graffiti or is it the space or is it something else?

I agree with
>>264958
desaturating colors is just another tired trick attempting to make the uninteresting, interesting. It doesn't work.
You could have done something with this scene.

Go back to /b/ you'll fit in much better there.

I actually like that the upper foreground is out of focus. As for the 'geometry' I find the main line of the ceiling going diagonally left to right rather striking. I have crops that draw the focus to the far wall, but again it's a case of liking different things for different reasons.
The subject here was the overall scene. Like I say, when I walked around the corner and saw this place I was taken with how bleak it all was. The town I'm in at the moment has very few places like this, and I was glad to have found one.

>>265728
Agreed. That's why I've got the shooped up versions. In those I like that the grafitti really jumps off the wall at you, rather than in the original it's all a bit jumbled.

I will be going back here next time I get a day off (when the fuck does that happen these days) to see what else I can do with this place.
