looks like it
I do mostly B&W street and automotive and then some other random stuff
coral crescent
What do you guys shoot btw? Are most aus photographers into cars and wildlife?
I do wildlife, but thats just cause I don't have anything else to shoot
ember comet
I do wildlife, but thats just cause I don't have anything else to shoot
Yeah tbh I have nothing to shoot here :/ kinda hoping I can find some decent spots for street if I move to brisbane
coral crescent
where are you based?
ember comet
I may just end up being a travel photographer though unfortunately haha
I'm in cairns (far north queensland)
coral crescent
Ah Carins
yes I know where that is lmao, I lived in queensland most of my life 
Cairns has penty of stuff to shoot
you guys have a fuckin zoo thingy
ember comet
oh fair haha I just moved here for uni tbh I lived on the tablelands which was nice and pretty but a little isolating for people that don't love outdoor activities
ember comet
you guys have a fuckin zoo thingy
We had cairns tropical zoo but I think it shut down over covid 🥲
ember comet
😂 aw do you plan on staying there forever? Or do you have plans to move one day
coral crescent
Ah naturally
I graduate 2025
so plan is to move to Sydney for Uni
and then I'd probably wanna move to somewhere in Europe after I finish there
ember comet
oh nice ... yeah I'm currently stuck between doing my bachelor here in cairns after i finish my diploma next year or move to brisbane since I have some friends there and lack any social life rn lol and also more job opportunities
coral crescent
How old are you?
ember comet
If i stay here I can keep living at home so I don't have to work part time :p
21 haha I took a few years off after highschool
errant linden
damn I graduate 2024
errant linden
I also plan to take a gap year
aye same
ember comet
I was planning on just being a car detailer forever since It's good money here for the cost of living but idk I kinda want more out of life I think so thought i'd send it and go to uni
coral crescent
yeah my plan is to graduate from USYD (Probably Architecture or some form of Science) and then move to Europe
cost of living here is wild
While Europe isnt the best it's certainly better than here
errant linden
Im gonna graduate then take a gap year
idk if ill go to uni or for what
Im kind of just cruising rn
I dont have a set plan

I was also considering usyd too but I heard their curriculum was quite theory intensive whereas QUT at brisbane is much more practical so I'm a bit torn ... there are many more options for employment in sydney however :/ but also I have my auntie that lived in brisbane and she said I can live there so it's kinda hard to pass it up
coral crescent
oh yeah defo go for brisbane then
Syd market is wild
Who knows, photography might get me somewhere as well
¯_(ツ)_/¯
errant linden
Im trying to make this photography thing work
ive gotten a couple paid gigs before

errant linden

ember comet
yeah a lot of street
oh where at? in one of the bigger cities or
foggy steppe
mostly sydney and brisbane
ember comet
Because I think I like being in sydney more than brisbane from my 1 trip to both
also sydney has proportunately way more software dev jobs compared to brisbane :/
foggy steppe
sydney is a good place to work for cs
static ruin
If you do go to university, go with whatever works best for your goals, if it doesn't matter, I'd just go to brisbane if you have an option to live with someone, you'll appreciate it later in terms of actually having money to do things lol
Sydney is fine if it works better for you long term, just accomodation is basically going to absorb the bulk of your income, so you won't be doing much else
foggy steppe
yeah bris is cheaper for the duration of the degree for sure
tho also inconvenient if you want to go anywhere without a car lol
static ruin
yeah bris is cheaper for the duration of the degree for sure
he said he had an auntie in Brisbane to live with if needed, that's a huge drop in col
ember comet
If you do go to university, go with whatever works best for your goals, if it do...
Yeah I probably should tbh ... I also have the option to stay in cairns and study for 0 cost of living (would pay for food in bris) so I am a little torn but I probably should move so I can develop a life outside of games and study
foggy steppe
he said he had an auntie in Brisbane to live with if needed, that's a huge drop ...
ah thats hard to beat then yeah
static ruin
But yeah I just go back to my point, if a university in Sydney is going to be better for your long term goals, go to Sydney, otherwise I'd go with whatever makes it easier in terms of col if both work out the same for you
ember comet
Well it's hard to say ... like there are proportionally more jobs in my market in sydney compared to brisbane since it's the tech hub of aus but I am a little worried about balancing study with work life living there with the higher col I may just have to move there after my degree
static ruin
The job market is more relevant once you're done with study
With a CS degree you'll be fine in Sydney
ember comet
only problem would be the first 2/3 years of the degree before I start getting any internships though I'll be rocking that minimum wage probably and I suck at having a good life balance so the stress may affect my studying :/ ah well I shall just go with the flow
foggy steppe

i would def go brisbane under these circumstances
paying for just food is a light burden in comparison and brisbane has good opportunities and experiences
you can always move to syd after
static ruin
Yeah I feel that's probably the better option based on what I see, you'll also have a reasonable amount of savings being there, so you'll actually be able to do things
ember comet
internships wont pay you shit lol
haha ig but I'd be willing to take $23/hr internship over a $40/hr nonrelated job since so many swe jobs require x amount of experience rn even internships need 1yr or enough projects on github and like 4 programming languages 💀 seems rough but maybe in a few years it'll be ok
static ruin
The "x years" of whatever experience is often just a generic copy and paste companies use, as long as you can prove you know it, it doesn't really matter
foggy steppe
the other advice i have is high schoolers dont know how itll be so having strong conceptions of how finding work etc is will do nothing but scare you
just focus on having good experiences in uni
any uni will give you solid opportunities when you grad
static ruin
In terms of SWE, biggest thing you can do to get jobs earlier on is making your own little projects, goes down well on the resume
ember comet
I'm worried about next year since that's when my programming subjects start. This year I was lucky and only had data science/ML, maths and some mandatory weird subject teaching you how to prep for further study/employability
What if I just get to the subjects and i'm like oh dear I cannot do this haha
back to square 1 ig
foggy steppe
programming is just english with more steps
youll be fine
pointless to stress over it
coral crescent
programming is just english with more steps
god that one sentence is enough to start a war I swear
ember comet
yeahh thankfully I've been able to apply myself more than highschool since I only aimed to pass and did no study or homework however now I am kinda feeling the effects of it where my foundation might be weaker than other people and fundamentally I struggle more with picking up on new topics I am about to trial my first round of adhd meds though so maybe it'll help me out a little pft or maybe I'm being a little wishful
foggy steppe
the truth is offensive
coral crescent
if truth = offensive then offensive = truth
ember comet
Also I noticed everyone in my data science subject had done like multiple years of coding beforehand and so they said they did super well on the programming subjects whereas I have 0 experience
coral crescent

mm Ig but if I only got a pass for subjects though I would be a little concerned about how well suited I am for the job since it's a competitive market and my slow learning may result in me kinda being in limbo where I graduate without any job lineups and lack the motivation for self study to develop projects
Ah well I can't expect jobs to be handed to me without effort
foggy steppe
im not saying to like not aim for a high mark
im saying you should try to learn the concepts and study hard but dont concern yourself with your marks in relation to your peers
ember comet
ahh
coral crescent
Same degree in the end
ember comet
yeah that's true lol the one guy i talked to from my subjects was aiming for HDs 💀 so a bit of disparity considering I was aiming for a credit
He was on an international student scholarship though so fair enough

Really smart animals, they learn the patterns

t&o and just teal seems like a very modern trend
yeah it is
nothing wrong with any of those grading styles though
they all work well as complimentry colors

i tend to try follow traditional art so its not my thing at all
there isnt anything wrong with having your own taste tho

i enjoy that one way more
There was a time where a minor vignette was applied to every portrait ever as well

Black borders around landscapes with white text

why can't I have these damn places

Black borders around landscapes with white text
strong borders in general

Also oversharpened portraits for "drama"
foggy steppe
over contrasty black and white with no greys at all
fleet edge
Mist filters seem to be very slowly declining
coral crescent
where are you guys seeing all these trends 
fleet edge
When you shoot for over a decade you notice trends lol
coral crescent
On tt the most recent stuff has just been deep blues and t&o
foggy steppe
we look at a lot of photography
fleet edge
It's part of why I rib teal and orange
Just diving back and looking at photos from different eras you notice trends
foggy steppe
the trend that i miss is rim lit street everything
fleet edge
In the modern world, photography trends come and go in a matter of 2-5 years even

traditional art is the best for learning good compositions and light imo, modern photography is a lot like modern art and just chaotic

SELECTIVE COLOURS
foggy steppe
yeah but this is ALL we have haha
fleet edge
THAT ONE PERIOD OF LIKE 5 YEARS WHERE EVRYONE HAD A LONDON BUS SELECTIVE COLOURED
foggy steppe
SELECTIVE COLOURS
a million wildlife photos with the eye in colour
late parcel
yeah but this is ALL we have haha
Lmao true
coral crescent
a million wildlife photos with the eye in colour
foggy steppe
i also thought panning was a trend but it came back stronger than ever
fleet edge
yeah I've only been shooting for 1.7 years-ish so that explains it
I literally watched teal and orange arrive and grow
coral crescent
when did it arrive anyway?
foggy steppe
t&o is only a few years
fleet edge
I think it started getting big roughly 3 years ago?
It's hard to track
I just don't remember really seeing it in early uni 6 years ago
But my memory might be flawed
foggy steppe
pink and green and the other complimentary colours are nicer imo, more natural
teal is just a very unnatural odd colour in most of how its used now
fleet edge
T&O has always been around since complementary colour theory is ancient
Every photo being t&O is recent
fleet edge
I THINK (don't quite me on this), cinema having a T&O trend roughly around mid 2010's influenced new photographers a lot
foggy steppe
I THINK (don't quite me on this), cinema having a T&O trend roughly around mid 2...
there was that period after the matrix where fucking everything was green
coral crescent
fleet edge
Oh yeah
And bullet time
Christopher Nolan and his every movie is teal and orange
The batman trilogy basically only has two colours lol
foggy steppe
nolans more recent stuff is way more subtle
and more enjoyable to watch imo
cinema always influences photography tho
"wide crops are cinematic" and all
fleet edge
Is the whole going super out of your way to make photos "cinematic" still a thing
fleet edge
I'm so sick of people using the word cinematic and slapping anamorphic lenses on stills cameras
foggy steppe
i still kinda want to try that for landscapes
fleet edge
yes lmao
It's funny because making stuff "cinematic" is meaningless when cinema continually evolves
You can take inspiration from Kurosawa and describe it as cinematic
fleet edge
Yeah :P
Most modern cinema, but that's changing slightly too
My little silly ramble
foggy steppe
we need to go back to the charlie chaplin days
acoustic lark
what constitutes as 'cinematic photography'
fleet edge
what constitutes as 'cinematic photography'
That's the fun part, there's no exact definition
Usually it refers to taking a photo that looks like a still from a modern epic blockbuster
foggy steppe
a lot of people think of it as unnatural colours/flares/etc and wide aspect ratios
"dramatic"
fleet edge
Yeah that
The easiest definition is any photo that takes inspiration from cinema
But it's very loosey goosey
You got people slapping filters on their lenses that soften them and messes with light bloom and editing the photos to be super unlike natural colours and such
Teal and orange is a extension of this trend
fleet edge
we need to go back to the charlie chaplin days
I wonder what'll happen to the t&O/cinematic photographers when the trend starts dying
Think they'll adapt?
foggy steppe
i reckon most of them have enough fans to keep going
adapting is hard when thats all you know since its a fairly limited skill haha
coral crescent
what constitutes as 'cinematic photography'
To me it's always been a photo that tells an entire movie
as if you cut it out of the movie itself
foggy steppe
my favourite trend is impressionism lol

impressionism is fun but very hard to do right

i got a cool one of ben ngl

one of my own
a pretty imprecise composition in terms of rules, no rule of thirds and everything placed sort of randomly and heavily weighted right and no subject
but focused on the colours and lighting of the moment

some of them are like unironically nice too lmao

monet's impressionism was unmatched. something i love about the style of impressionism in painting is the idea of capturing the moment before the lighting fades, so the concept of painting en plein air, and that's just beautiful to me

I've never seen robins wildlife

Well not for how much I'd use it
coral crescent
16-35 f4 on canon is the way for just like 700
yep
if you want a wider f/ then you can go for the tokina 16-28
yes I'm being biased, shoot me
fleet edge
11-24 is sooo worth it
11-24 looks soooooo fun
Even just shooting cramped wedding venues with something like that would be a dream
foggy steppe
f2.8 is just not needed on wide angle except astro and vlogging tbh

you should 1000% buy one, its even fairly priced nowadays

16-35 and 24-70 and 70-200 is the best for a good reason

11-24 + a super tele for specific uses

My 85 shots impress couples to no end ofc
foggy steppe
portraiture i stick to 70-200 ranges, wide portraits arent my favourite
foggy steppe
its the standard

It's not so long you gotta shout, and nice and tight for the "generic good portrait look"
It's the most common portrait FL
foggy steppe
its like the workhorse of portraits lol
when youre shooting for clients its what most want
