Query: How can one tell when a photo is a fake? I see photos on the net that are probably bogus but can't be sure.
Trained eye and years of experience. One way to tell is looking for inconsistent lighting, the direction of the light and how it cast shadows.

As long as no money was/is exchanged, because that would be against Bill C51, living off the avails.

To start off, I'll read the EXIF information on the image, unless it's been stripped away from the image.
If that's not available then do an image search.
If nothing comes up, zoom up on the summma bitch and see if they "photographer" *cough* overkilled his clone stamp tool, or softening filters.
Anyone can tell, just a little practice and knowledge, it's not some huge secret for "photographers". I use quotes because ever since the digital age, everyone seems to be a photographer. lol

What is EXIF data -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchangeable_image_file_format

Not a huge fan of umbrellas. Often used by beginners to learn lighting. Out grown them, moved on to something more advanced. Photography can cost you $$$$$ because you always want to improve on something and that means buying new gear.
Spoken like a true pro, knocking a tool because it's not "pro" enough. lol

It's a TOOL, it has its purpose depending what you're shooting, where you're shooting and what's desired of the project. lol

Are you going to claim that only beginners use available light or window light? Because last I checked window light gives you a huge amount of soft light if you're shooting a person.
But that's only for beginners right? :rolleyes:

Natural light is the best light you can get. I find natural light can make pictures alot more interesting but again it all depends what kind of look you are going for. I always try to go for more natural look so I try to use natural light or umbrellas. For more glamorous pictures I agree ambrellas might not always be great. I could be wrong but I think K Bear uses umbrellas from what I can tell. I have known many pro photographers that use umbrellas but again they went for more natural look. Glamorphotographers pictures are more glamorous and more Photoshop oriented so perhaps umbrellas are not for him.

Had to fix my typos, but yeah, bunch of tools. Thank God for photoshop, that's the true savior of today's "photographer". lol


You can mimic natural light, but it varies on a few factors, the size of the source of light, the proximity of the source to the subject(s), amount of sources being used.

Unless I am shooting a wedding I pretty much never use flash. Natural light is what I crave. As for post work, photoshop, lightroom etc are just digital dark rooms. I tend to do very little post work.

:thumb: same here I love natural light, and what large aperture lenses do to a subject, its like they glow and have a sense of magic to them.

By low aperture lenses do you mean fast lenses? If so, fast lenses isolate a subject and turn the background in to bokeh. Some lenses do it better than others


Also, had a visitor last trip north

Actually,...no,...the lens aperture setting, is what controls depth of field.

After posting some of my work over on the "What do you do when you're bored at night?" thread, I have received various emails requesting more images. So, I decided to start a photography thread for the photogs of Terb, from amateur to pro. Display your work, ask questions, give advice.

I am a semi-professional photographer from Toronto, I say semi-professional as it is not what I do full time. I shoot just about everything from engagements/weddings, portraits, boudoir, fine art landscapes and wildlife to abandoned buildings.

On that note, here's some to get the thread started.

Cheers,
Zen








Great photo's
