After seeing other's photos, I decided to dig out my Konica Autoreflex T 35mm Camera and go brush up on my skills. This is what happened.

This is an HDR image of a truck that sits outside of my house. Most of the pictures were over exposed, so I did a lot of crap to it to make it look decent.

I hope you've enjoyed this presentation. Thank you.
um wow fuzz your photos are nice as hell
first and third are my favs
My favorite one is the 3rd one too
Just think how much better these would be if I wasn't using a camera from 1973!
actually the quality of photos from older cameras and film can be pretty charming
i like the one of the shop
Quote from: FuzzJust think how much better these would be if I wasn't using a camera from 1973!
i cant, they look nice as is
i mean the first one could look nicer yeah but predominantly these are fine (:
Well, I don't mean the quality of the picture would be better, but I wouldn't have to waste 6 exposures on the same picture just so I'm sure I have an acceptable shot. That and I wouldn't have to worry about the price of film and development, etc. I'd be able to compose my photos much better, and at least be able to preview the end result.
Forgot about some of these old ones...

Yes. I know. Nerd. GOI.
-Triple Post-
Is anyone going to give me any critique so I can make later pictures better?
yea
why are you savin em as jpg?
i feel like thats killin the quality
When I get them Developed, I save money and time by just getting digital copies. They come as jpgs. I might start using my scanner again to get higher resolution PNGs.
Thanks, I think that will actually help a lot.
no prob
i was wondering cuz the last batch you uploaded seem kinda pixelly

Digging up this old topic because I finally got a new camera!
It's not the best, but with my financial situation, it's better than using my Cellphone.
But first, I noticed there were a bunch I hadn't posted yet that I took with my old camera before I destroyed it.

Now, what can I do better?
If your using a digital camera and using the zoom feature, it may actually be best to take the picture and edit the part where you want focused.
I guess from what I've read is that its not a true zoom and it just crops it for you at the loss of quality.
Sorry if you already know this, sorta read into it a long time ago and figured you may be interested.
If you feel your picture is important to you, you may want to store it on another device which is in a safe place.
I lost 700 pictures from transferring files to another computer.
Take multiple pictures. Don't be afraid to snap from other angles.
The exit sign looks pretty neat.
The first 4 are film, and the others are digital. My camera has Optical zoom, so it actually does zoom. What you're thinking of is Digital Zoom which crops the pictures.
damn this made my browser freeze 58 (https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theinsoundfromwayout.com%2Fwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fpost-like-counter%2Fthumb_up.gif&hash=61b25e03ad3488f1ad3af87f8f074c7fe9813bef)

That building looks cool!
AND THOSE WASPS. They frighten me. Never seen those kinds before.
these are really nice
I still think you have a lot of photography potential. Practice and work with it and I could definitely see you as a professional.
Thanks Zhi! I really need to travel a little and find more interesting things to take pictures of. I've got tons of pictures of just crap laying around my house that I use for practice.
I was bored so I went in my back yard and took pictures of things.

I've got a lot of new photos from Hookahville. I'll get those up here as soon as I get the motivation to.
Oh wow, I really like that second one! It's so pretty! *3*
Some new ones... I went out with some friends and shot some stuff in Lima, Ohio. I really fucked up and deleted about 40 pictures... So these are the best of whats left of them.

I'm gonna jump back a bit and say that this photo looks really nice, even the perhaps unintended lady bug at the bottom adds a certain degree of thought to the image, quite nice, all the photos look pretty good.

great photos you got. i like your film pictures alot too, they give the picture an almost more mature appearance or more character even though you take them in modern times
I REALLY wish I hadn't fucked my camera up. I LOVED taking pictures with that so much more than digital. Feeling the movement of the parts, the smell of the film... I also knew how to use it a lot better than my digital, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

MORE TO COME!
i like it. is the light coming from the headlights of an incoming car or the sun or what
It's from a car. One night while I was driving down the highway, I saw some headlights coming up over the overpass and just thought to myself, "I have to get a picture of that". So I had a friend go to the other side and turn on his high beams. I was really afraid it wouldn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but it certainly did.
Here we go. I finally got around to uploading these.
Starting off strong!
