A few local photographers who use too many filters.


Recommended Posts

how bout you quite posting photographs you took last year and post a few new ones :p :shifty:

Well here are some other ones I took. The problem with this chick is she tans and she's as brown as rust.

Uninstall Instagram and stop posting these pictures please.

How did this fad come about? I've seen it for years now... but how did so many get so obsessed with it as it's still the same today across a number of forums. I also really detest what appears or gives me the impression that some people are applying inner shadows. It's always awful. It's like watching somebody discover bevels for the first time or fishbowl TV's. Even Lewis Hamilton is obsessed with Instagram. :/

Is anyone in this thread a pro, or just knowledgeable amateurs?

I'm an ok amateur but nothing more. It's just a hobby for me but I want to seriously take it up. But there's one thing that really bugs me a lot with some people and their DSLR's, they seem to be so obsessed with blur. So much blur that even their ears/edges are blurred rather than the whole subject crystal clear with background blurred.

I've been admiring this guys photography for sometime now. http://www.raymondlin.net/blog/

Lewis Hamilton needs to focus on his tyres, not Instagram.

I'd say you have a bigger problem with a too powerful DOF, makign it seems as if they're shot standing in front of a matte backdrop rather than actually outside.

Photographer #1 : Comments "I LOVE this one!"

Holy crap that's pure crap!

Inverted shadows... Takes your eyes off the subject so to speak. Feels like neon lights in your peripheral vision.

Indeed, if you stare long enough, your eyes begin to hurt!

I don't know why photographer #1 made that black and white. It's like she has to do something to EVERY photo she takes. That being said in Photographer #1 standards it's actually a good picture.

Agree'ed. i'll work on that.

Honestly WarWagon, I think you should focus more on showing off your own good photos instead of showing of other people's bad photography.

True, but the thread and thread title isn't focused on my good photography. I would be hijacking my own thread :D

Buuut to hold you over here is one I took of my aunt and uncle, for this posting I did crop the photo.

Actually I liked it, before disliking it. But hey the chick might give me a slightly used Samsung Galaxy S3 for $270!

The thing about portraits is always the skin tone. Worry about filter effects later. Skin tone first.

Only amateur photographer puts filter effect first.

Geez, change the clothes.

It is kind of sad how everyone these days is a "Photographer". It's so easy for someone to buy a DSLR and buy photoshop, offer crappy work and steal the jobs from those of us who have put out effort. I'm all for Photography being taken out of schools.

Actually the sad part is nobody is educated enough in Arts to identify good pictures from bad ones. That's exactly why instagram filter galore pictures are so popular.

Everyone just look at the colors and say "wow that's a great picture".

Same goes for musicians and painters.

Well at least with the new photoshop CC it will get harder, but then again, I don't think these effects were added with photoshop.

With more and more camera manufacturers start to add in-camera filters, I guess that's the future of photographing eh.

    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.
