a bit grainy. but nice WB
>> Anonymous
There's too much jpeg artifacting going on, but is that noise or grain? I'll assume grain since you've got stuff you'd only own if you were processing your own film.

The WB looks a little green to me, but I'm on an uncalibrated monitor in a poorly lit room.

I really like you DoF, focus, and exposure here. I just wish the hand of the thermometer didn't have the reflections at both ends. Maybe if you had rotated it slightly counter-clockwise? That's personal preference anyway.

Nice shot.

starbucks? or just some general steaming pitchers?

This is just from my work - a small coffee franchise in my local mall called "the coffee beanery"

Since its not like a starbucks or other big companies, I have the privalage to get my camera out when its slow and take some shots.

Looked a bit green to me too. Also resize and noise removal.

Hope you don't mind me editing your photo OP. I quite like it but like>>129094I find the reflections annoying/distracting.

Needed some lens flare and RED LIGHTNING, too. Okay, now who is fucked up and trying to create SERIOUS ARTS?

NOT ME. /sleep

fucking learn to control your specular highlights, or GTFO

also, when lighting shiney things, you dont light the object its self.... you light what reflects on its shiney surfaces.

haha, someone read strobist and feels like they're a smart guy. he pretty obviously shot this with available light, so it's not about lighting what reflects on its "shiney" surfaces. at best, he could use a polarizer, but he's already shooting at iso 1600.

protip: everyone and their mom (literally) reads strobist, don't try to pass off what you sorta kinda read there as your own intuition.

and that matters how? Sure, i read strobist.
ive learnt a lot from David, chase and a lot of the other guys putting stuff into the pool.

This is bad becouse?
The more people that read davids articles, and learn from them - the less we have to torture our eyes looking at rubbish.

PS: yes, i learnt about highlight control from David's Lighting 102, but, ive been shooting with speedlights for the last 20 years. During that time, i picked up a thing or 2 about lighting techniques. ( i hate how nowadays anyone who uses a flash off camera is considered a strobist )

Sure, i didnt have pocket wizards back then, and it was sync cord speghetti, but i managed with 2 old vivitars and a sunpak.

PPS: this is 4chan, even Ansel would get flamed and told his work was shit

We do that occasionally when someone posts famous work and none of us remember it and lay into it.

I prefer OPs colour balance, the green makes it look very clinical and sterile. The redder version doesnt look as heartless!

We have no problem with you reading strobist. The fact that he was able to point it out suggests that he does it too. And I thought the same thing reading your post, because I check it every day as well.

The reason he was mocking you is that you were spouting out info directly from strobist about how to deal with the specular highlights when taking flash pictures...on a shot that was clearly lit by the lights of the coffeeshop the OP works at, not by a flash. I.e., there's no way your suggestion:
>when lighting shiney things, you dont light the object its self.... you light what reflects on its shiney surfaces.
is helpful. Even if he's physically able to control those lights, I doubt if his superiors would be too keen on him doing so during work hours.

>We do that occasionally when someone posts famous work and none of us remember it and lay into it.
For the record, when I do that, it's for comedic effect.

(You can tell, 'cause I always do things like flaming Adams' shots with things like "Geez, what did you shoot this at, f/64?!?")

Wait, you want us to light the lights?

op here.
whats funny is how i probably could adjust the lights during work hours, but thats besides the point.

i get what your saying.

definitely film grain. the exif says so.
