Anybody else here use Instagram to share their photography? I've been using it more often lately and it seems like a really simple platform for exposing others to your work.

If you guys want, follow me and I'll follow you back.

Some stuff I've posted recently (not all three on my Instagram):

I'd totally be up for sharing my Flickr, and following anyone who follows me! I'm also up for any critique anyone has of my photos! I just can't be arsed to actually post them here, as I feel like this thread is more appropriate for people who make better photos than I do. :x
I've also noticed a few of you have already followed me!

Anyway, here's my Flickr (all photos may not be SFW, not sure how the filter works just yet but I have tried to apply them, nothing too crazy though), feel free to follow and be followed!

Hey everyone. My first post here in this thread.

I am very impressed by what so many of you are doing. Really beautiful.

I bought a Sony a5100 mostly for youtube video making, but I want to start learning a bit about taking stills.

I am wondering if any of you could recommend any good resources for a beginning photographer. Websites? Youtube channels? Books?

How do you get your stuff up on there? I've been thinking about doing it, but I'm not sure how I'd go about getting the exported pictures up there. :/

Thanks, mate! I wish I had a better camera for this kind of pic though. My old Sony H50 is showing signs of aging. =/

Here are 2 of mine. Not entirely happy with them, but it's more about the event itself.

Awesome! Much more crispier than mine, thats for sure.

Nice place, BTW.

 

[Lender]

Yeah, I live in a nice rural place. Sadly Belgium (well, Flanders to be more exact) is gravely suffering from Light pollution. I'd have to go to The Ardennes if I want to take some good astro photos.

Used the Zeiss on a living subject for the first time, and toddlers aren't that easy to photograph when you have no experience with MF. :-D Sharpness is lacking in the eyes, and it's a great example of why I still have quite a way to go with this lens. But it's so much fun to try and nail the shot. Colors, bokey, overall sharpness, lack of Ca,... is very good indeed. And that's understating it.

Everyone is welcome to post photos here from all types of cameras. You're also more likely to get feedback and critique if you post photos here and ask for it.

I suppose I could run through my favorite photos and see what might be worth critiquing.

I would totally be happy for *any* criticism. I know I'm not the best, and I wanna know how to git gud.

EDIT: I guess I'll throw this one in too, I wasn't too sure of if it's worth anything.

I'm not the best at critiquing photography, but I think if you crop the photo with the squirrel and make it vertical it looks better. Get rid of the left side. Put the leaping squirrel in the center/left of the frame and snip about half the table on the right...

I think that's your best photo of the bunch but IMO it oddly feels kind of lifeless until you crop it a bit. Others feel free to agree/disagree.

Considering selling my old Nikon D5000 because I finally have some money to upgrade if i sell it and i've had it since a late teenager and I'm no longer satisfied with the uality of pictures! Because I have a kit built around nikon, I was wondering what people's experience are with D3300, and whether its worth it or not (keeping in mind what i'm upgrading from). Any advice would be welcomed

I see what you're saying, but one factor here is that this was with a really old FD 1.8, which is not exactly the sharpest lens in the shed, so I was trying not to crop it down so much that it became apparent. Also I think it's already cropped down a good bit, but I'll see if I can't get it a bit closer.

I've tried cropping it, but cropping it vertically will mean I have to crop enough that the softness will really become apparent, so I think this is about as good as I can get it.

What specifically are you unhappy with regards to the quality of your photos?

My recommendation has always and will always to be look at new different lenses before the body. My other recommendation is to practice better technique to get better photos.

That said the D3300 is an all around better camera including sensor. And sometimes new equipment can encourage you to get better at photography, but I would make sure you are committed to getting better before upgrading.

Thx! Got my new Zeis 135mm F2.0 in the mail today.

So here come the obligatory 'I got a new lens so I'll head into the garden for a while' pictures. The MF is really smooth, but it'll take some getting used to to completely master it. But first impressions are awesome. I just love the way this lens feels. It's heavy, but it's so damn well built. Can't wait to try it out on some more alive subjects. It does help that there is focus confirmation.

my dream lens, already setting aside money to buy this as birthday present to myself later this year

So I just bought the Canon T5 rebel DSLR as my first ever DSLR, I got it on sale with 18mm to 55mm IS lens, and EF-S 75mm to 300mm lens kits for around 350, was this a good deal? I know it's not as great as some DSLR's but is it a great beginners camera? Accidentally posted in the old thread haha!
