Don't know if there's a thread for this but ever since entering university, I had to sell my cameras and gear to sustain myself. I got to play around with one again after a few years and was feeling a little nostalgic.
This thread is for the community to share their favorite moments and sights as well as give each other feedback on how to improve and bring newcomers up to speed on this very expensive hobby.
Photos from long ago, recently, Polaroid, iPhone, Nikon, Canon, all of it's welcome.
If you can, try to provide your EXIF data such as your f/stop, aperture, exposure, focal distance, etc when possible so we can refine our skills and craft.
For photos that don't belong to you, give credit and link to the person who took them!
I had to sell off my Canon 600D, Nikon D5000, Nikon F90. SB-800 Flash, 50mm, 70-200, 70-300, 11-16 Tokina lens, and more.
Currently own a Polaroid and an iPhone 5S.

I can only post some older ones that I took or with friends from before I had to sell my gear.

All new photos are most likely going to be from my Polaroid or iPhone 5S. The iPhone Camera + the Camera+ app can take really nice pictures if you take the time to learn how to use the app and settings. A modern smartphone can take some really gorgeous shots, those Apple commercials are legit.

My computer is toast so I can't access the originals, so I'll pull some from my camera roll on my iPhone.

Good lighting is like the biggest difference maker in a good photography. Even the best scenes in the world can be ruined by bad light.
By reilo Go To PostGood lighting is like the biggest difference maker in a good photography. Even the best scenes in the world can be ruined by bad light.
It definitely does, especially for people and singular subjects. Less so for landscapes but lighting is extremely important for any kind of photo and is why external light sources and a strong, soft flash is almost a necessity at times.
It's much easier to manipulate lighting if you have the equipment, but figuring things out is part of the fun and learning process! It definitely helps you with your skills using both a Reflex Camera and a compact point and shoot camera. Both have their uses but can produce stunning visuals with the right skills and resources.
This video and GIF outlines how much of a drastic effect lighting can have on a subject.
Also for people who own iPhones, this app is the best Camera app I've used and I recommend it highly. There is no Android alternative so if anyone could recommend one as a resource it would be greatly appreciated.

By reilo Go To PostHow does Camera+ compare to VSCO's app?
I think VSCO is great for a free app and the interface is minimalistic but I feel that Camera+ is much more ergonomic and easier to learn and use. It's straightforward.
Camera+ has all the standard features of adjusting your focus, ISO, White Balance, Aperture, Shutter Speed, Zoom, etc. But it also has a built in photo processor akin to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom or Aperture on OS X.
I also find that the manual focus is easier and the macro mode works well for up close pictures. It's an extremely useful tool for someone like me who isn't always able take out my camera or go on my Mac and boot up Photoshop and Lightroom.
You get a range of filters, the ability to go and easily adjust your tints, saturation, color profiles, shadows, highlights, exposure, grain, temperature, and easy crop/resize for any aspect ratio you want. Editing and processing multiple photos and imports is very easy as well.
There were promotions where it was available for free and for ¥100 but it is worth it at it's price tag.
VSCO is adequate enough but I just like what Camera+ offers more.
As an amateur and enthusiast, I appreciate the flattery and wherever you are I would love to, especially if I had the proper equipment again.
This is definitely what this thread is for, for sharing your photos and for us to provide feedback and learn this hobby as a community.
Anyone can take stunning photos, whether with a digital/film reflex camera or your standard smartphone. Fancy gear helps but a true practitioner of this craft makes do with what tools they have available.
That said I'm kind of irritated at some NBA and other sports photos. I can't believe the people who took some of those photos actually think the oversaturated or greyed out look is visually pleasing...

I know barely anything about photography but here's a picture I took with my phone whilst halfway up a mountain:
I went swimming in that little lake at the bottom. Fucking freezing.

That's a beautiful view. Where was it?
If you don't mind me using your photo as an example, I can show you how much of a difference something as easy as changing your white balance can be in making your photo look more vibrant.
In this version, all I did was just adjust the white balance of your photo to make the colors a little more accurate and less greyed out. It's a basic option in most cameras and most people usually don't pay it mind and leave on auto for default. The WB setting I used for this is one meant for flash in concert settings.
I am unsure if Android phones have it in but for an iPhone, your white balance is automatic and is replaced by color filters. Most 3rd party camera apps allow you to at least adjust the white balance for your photo.
This version is the same as above with some slight adjustments made to give the scene a little bit more depth. It's a quick job and it might be a little too saturated for some people's taste but it's an example to show how much a difference subtle post processing can do to a photo. What I did with this is adjust the brightness and shadows as well as adjust some contrast so that the scene has less grey and more colour.

Wanted to share some older floral photos from a while back. All taken with my old equipment on a 50mm f/1.8
Try to guess the flower and where this was.

I am saving up to get a Nikon camera again but here are some phone picture the past couple weeks. Not the best since I don't want to damage my phone in the snow and -7C weather.
I was able to borrow a camera from a friend for a night and this is my hometown it was snowing a lot and it still is. I would share the original size but it's 16MB in size, I hope this 1.8MB compress works for you guys.
Sorry I don't have more, I will share soon once I separate private photos from the ones I was able to take.

That place is like Willy Wonka's factory for video/photo gear. Welp.
Adorama is in NY too, and I can get what I need there instead.

In honor of reilo new site layout, I will be cycling new topic cover photos every week or every two weeks to showcase photos from SL&ENT members.
In the case that no one has a photo for the week, I will use a photo from one of the photographers I look up to and follow. Or maybe some of my old photos.
But I want to update and showcase the sights and talents SL&ENT has to offer so hopefully this is incentive for member to take more photos and maybe for this to stay in the recommended topic section.
