Just found out Pixdaus went down. Damn, it was an archive of high quality photos of animals and places that had Booru-like tags.

question for b&w shooters: do you use the cameras default monochrome setting or do you extract the colors via lightroom or some other tool?

>>57269B&W is better on film, and it's easy to develop.

>>57281aye less toxic chemicals involved compared to color too right?

>>57282I'm not sure, but it would make sense. It's a simpler process.
No.57324
>>57282I started developing my own color film a few weeks ago. You need three chemicals compared to two. What makes b&w easier is that the temperature doesnt need to be so exact. While color, such as C41 has to be 38 celcius with a difference in heat of +- 0.1 celcius. Its a great hobby, shooting a roll then developing it.

>>57546Because accumulated dirt over time ruins the paint job and the protective layer of your car which eventually leads to rusting. Even if you don't care how it looks, you should still wash it. It's basic maintenance.
Now you know.

>>57547Maybe if you live in some humid intemperate climate. Pretty sure dirt around here won't do anything to it.

>>57548You're wrong. It definitely will in time, but that's off-topic. Not my vehicle anyway.

>>59980You would have a blast with this guy. It was at that translucid stage and I could see all the organs moving in there. It didn't came out in the picture at all. It was quite a challenge to get even these done. All I have is an old smartphone and a magnifying glass. It was around half cm long.

Is that RPGmaker? I like that cat, it would be cool if his eyes glowed in the dark
>>60152Is that a.. a ステーキケーキ??? What dark sorcery do I have to cast on my remaining living relatives for them to start cooking me these one a year?

>>60153Yeah, I'm working on a game.
My mom made this cat. It's made of two types of clay, one for the body and one for the eyes.

What's the point of photorealistic painting anymore if you can just take pictures?
No.60902
>>60886from afar they are no different really, but a painting has texture and if you get very close it is often messy and chaotic which is cool
No.60903
>>60886The same "points" there are in any creative or reproductive artistic endeavor. The act of painting still-life or portraits benefits the artist and end customer in ways photos can not. It's fun to paint anything, it's a fair challenge to reproduce a real thing accurately, skills learned from reproducing something can be applied to creative tasks, and the end product has a material presence that many people value.

>>60886>What's the point of photorealistic painting anymore if you can just take pictures?Namely that the human reproduction of reality and the camera's aren't the same, even when one can be substituted for another. Witness testimony is notoriously inaccurate, as the mind will fill in a gun just from the gesture of pulling a gun. All vision, to us, is filled with such gestures.
The camera simply emulates the human eye, which has little to do with perceiving reality. We know this because other animals employ different configurations of eyes, or no eyes at all.

>>60886You can videotape yourself doing photorealistic paintings. That video would in itself be a very valuable piece of art, and the painting almost only being a leftover relic of it.

I definitely prefer it over standard photorealism even if I am not a fan of the politics behind many of the works.
