#Photographers
ENGLISH toot @photography These days, #photographers often use #sociofinancing campaigns to launch their #books. And the work is often of superb quality... A great opportunity to support photographers, while surrounding yourself with photo books that make you think, stimulate, amaze... In the next few days, I'll be publishing some of these campaigns...
“After a long day of rain, the sky is finally clear and the sun is setting in a blaze of glory. It's the perfect reminder that even after the storm, there's always beauty to be found."
I wrote a little something for the Architectural Photography Almanac on value in the photo world, although it applies to all artists, IMO:

is anyone on my corner of the fediverse a fan of or themselves a #contentCreator (#youtube #twitch #tiktok #instagram #peertube #pixelfed etc-anything, really)? if so, please connect with me!
i know it's gauche to ask for boosts on the fediverse, and normally I never do. but every time I search for #contentcreator on my own instance I get NOTHING, and I don't want to have to make a half dozen accounts on other instances to find other creators either. if I could just establish a network of fellow #creators (preferably #videoCreators, but #artists, #writers, #photographers etc are fine also) here on my home account, that would be wonderful.
maybe I could even find some creators to say hello to at #anaheim #vidcon in three weeks 😁
@nathan hmm, image generation is a sticky subject. I sort of understand the draw, however, having done some graphic design in the past and having a sibling that is an artist, I have too much respect for those that do that as a profession to really be OK with promoting the image generation tools. #AI #art #artists #photography #photographers #WordPress
A spectacular good morning to the Fediverse and all the #writers and #photographers and #artists that grace this space.
And, yes, this is a sunrise, a quiet beginning of a very hot day in August.
Fellow #photographers on the #fediverse. Talk to me about where you are sharing your photos, how you are growing a following, and more importantly, how are you getting engagement on your shots?
I want to join a community that is supportive, and filled with people looking to better each other's skills. Instagram is filled with people trying to curate the perfect life. Reddit is filled with gear snobs and pixel peeping.
I personally like to do minimal editing to my shots, mainly because I have always been interested in presenting a real scene. I don't like removing or replacing things in the shot to present a moment of perfection that just didn't exist.
Finding a community of photographers who can appreciate that seems to be hard. I want to learn, grow, and discuss, but more often than not the response is "buy this $8,000 lens and then it might be good", which is not helpful at all.

#Amateur #photographers - keep taking photos whenever you feel the spark to create. Never let anyone tell you that your photo art isn't good enough - don't let anyone rob you of the joys of #photography ❤ We all see worlds with different eyes. That's the beauty of it - different perspectives of possibly same subjects.
If it helps - my first photos sold weren't professional but had content that was highly sought after. Your content matters a lot. I sold many non-pro photos for multiple usages.
New week and some new artists showing at Haddon Gatehouse Gallery.

which of you has a #pentax 67 and do you recommend it?
A note for other #photographers: though I don't post technical details here, such as camera, etc, you can always find that info by clicking over to the Flickr link.
Second YouTube video is up and ready https://youtu.be/HRyYR4MOGVc for those #photographers feeling a bit lost on how to grow their audience and find the right crowd for their work.
I hope you enjoy it.
Calling on all #photographers….
What’s your advice when taken your #camera abroad?
In a month I’m heading on holiday to #Menorca and while I’ll just be chilling I’ve managed to convince my partner to spend a day at the island’s #nature reserve. Would you advise taking my new camera (Lumix G9)? It is insured but how is it best to travel with expensive gear? Should I play it safe and just take the FZ330?
Any advice welcome and thanks in advance!!

« #Britain's #PrinceHarry, his wife, #Meghan, and her mother were involved in a "near catastrophic car chase" involving #paparazzi #photographers, a spokesperson for the prince said on Wednesday.
It occurred after the couple had attended an awards ceremony held in #NewYork by the #MsFoundationForWomen, where Meghan was honoured for her work.»

Dear Mastodonnnnnnner;
I would love to follow more photographers here, especially one doing people stuff or kinky, fetish photos.
I am looking for suggestions on who to follow.
Unfortunately, I am really not into nature stuff - animals, flowers etc.
#photography #photographers #photographyisart #portrait #kink #fetishart
#feet
I can’t tell if this is cringe or awesome. I’m going with both.
Any other #photographers take a lot of graveyard photos when you were first starting out?
I think I was just being edgy since I had no better ideas. My #Vampiresona was short lived.
I cranked the contrast up to L99 on this one. It made me look much older. I was only 23!

Below, a fledgling Anna's hummingbird that left the nest only hours before. My shots were taken with an 800mm lens from a distant concealed location.
But then other birders arrived, standing 2 meters away from the bird, using loud mechanical shutters. The mother panicked and stopped feeding.
I protested. One argued "they eat from my hand in my yard!" and stepped back to 3 meters. Useless.
#Photographers, respect your subjects. Learn their behavior. Your shots are not worth a bird's life.
#Photographers - are the new phone cameras starting to replace a good digital SLR?
My iPhone camera isn't great, but some of the newer ones seem phenomenal. What do you think?

@blurrybitsphoto I just confirmed (by translating a post with lots of hashtags) that DeepL.com, which my instance uses to translate posts, also translates hashtags. So it is NOT necessary to include #birds or #NaturePhotography or such in two or three different languages. One will suffice.

Dear other #photographers doing photos americans would describe as #nsfw what is a good alternative to patreon? With a membership area?
I currently use #Patreon and #WordPress connecting the Patreon API with the Patreon pro plugin from #codebard.
I am also managing another non photo membership site with the Simple WordPress Membership Plugin #swmp.
I also looked into #Ghost cms but their image galleries are limited to 12 photos a block and the integration would be more expensive in the end …

Hello #Photography #Mastodon users and professional #Photographers - when you want prints of some of your work, where do you typically get them from? Ideally with the options of adding frames too but just quality photography printing services are acceptable. I've looked at a few out there. I heard Costco was good but... RIP to that service.
I want to start hanging some of my photography around the house 📷 🙂
#Floral #photography is also an interest of both Heron and Fox (the #photographers), for example, this light pink #camellia #flower.
Camellias are native to #China and #Japan and other parts of #EastAsia. They have been spread around the world, including #Florida, by #gardeners. #CamelliaJaponica is a widely-spread #ornamental Camellia, and is related to #CamelliaSinesis, from which #tea is made.

#Artists, #Photographers, #Illustrators and #Designers, what features do you want from your website?
Is it about showing your work to its best advantage, or are some of the commercial aspects more important to you? If so, what things?
I'm building something partly to scratch my own itch, but I want to know what other people want, because I'm going to open-source it if it's any good.
Hey Mastodon #Photographers - I teach a photo class and need an app that does ONE thing. Can you help?
I need to be able to tether my camera to an app that shows me/the students the actual screen of the camera's viewfinder. I know Capture One can do it but I ain't paying $ 34/month for this *one* feature.
I have a Nikon Z fc but Lightroom doesn't support that camera yet via tethering. :(
Any ideas?

#Photographers of Mastodon
In my post on hashtags, I was called out (by a few) as elitist, and for denigrating (or downgrading) photos by using the term Snapshot. It was not my intent to offend so I reached out to several pro photographers looking for a better term. There isn’t one, it’s the proper term.
Snaphots are a technical term for a type of photography. A subset of Vernacular photography, an umbrella term used to distinguish artistic photographs from those made for a huge range of other purposes, including commercial, scientific, forensic, governmental, and personal. Snapshots capturing everyday life and subjects are a major form of vernacular photography (1).
Photos of a moment in time, person, place or thing, that aren’t journalistic, are snapshots. No judgment of quality, ability, or merit is implied. It is assumed by many that snapshots not edited for appearance (that would still make them vernacular, but many would consider them no longer snapshots). Snapshots often do not have relevance outside of the purpose of their capture, but are highly relevant within it.
Snapshots can also be (or become) artistic, can also be high quality photos (think candids by a wedding photographer). A more refined form of snapshots is Reportage (2).
Vernacular Photography (snapshots) are the subject of many museum exhibitions (3)
Universally the photographers I talked to say they frequently take snapshots, and none of them consider it a derogatory term.
@iBlame Thank you, and what a great #AltText description of this lovely photo.

Officials are tracking bobcats in #Tucson to study how we can coexist and some people have killed them, but some #wildlife #photographers are upset because the collars ruin their pictures?
Do we really need people?
–“They have basically ruined the photo ops at Sweetwater,” ... He doesn’t think the collars look very good in photographs, either. “It’s nothing I’d hang on my wall or be able to sell,” he said.–
