Just came by to see if anyone is still around. I've seen you and Sugar pop their heads up the couple times I've lurked.

I miss Miki like you wouldn't believe and still have his photos framed in one of my rooms.

>>4491090
wow long time no see
it's basically just Burt and Sugar for OG posters, with some new people like doghair and corgifag

>>4491096
my frame of reference for OG is like Bass, 5hoe, Photoshop, Burke, Isi, etc

I'd be really interested in what Rubber goo, miki, d, and nouveau are up to. I swear i saw the latter post a thread here not too too long ago.

Back when I had social media I remember 5hoe got big into drone stuff and charlie was doing some sort of podcast or something.

I know there's a lot of people I'm forgetting, but way back when /p/ had the coolest community on the chans.

>>4491098
Some sound familiar, I was mostly active 2010-2015, then came back in 2020

>>4491100
>Rubber goo, d, and nouveau
Definitely remember these
5hoe was the only one I ever met IRL, and he's still just doing his thing + teaching + family now

>>4491100
The attitude has changed a lot. When I came in (2008ish?) Criticism was far more regular and aggressive - but in a way, helpful.
You learned more quickly because people pointed out little mistakes and tore you a new arsehole for it.
It was a way funnier board. Partly because moderation was far less strict. Comedic threads were regular. Posting gifs and funny images was far less regulated. Now its okay for dumping stuff to see what people think, but very few people try to make fun out of anything.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Have you seen the state of this site? There's nothing entertaining, informative, or worthwhile being posted. If you haven't been here since the 2000s and are clinging to the past like me, I can't imagine why you would waste your time here.

>>4491112
I've shifted to lurking FM instead when I want to see varieties of genuine example pics and practical gear discussions
Even their threads on stuff like "3d pop" is worlds better than anything here
p has sucked for a decent while

>>4491113
Huskyfag, cinefag, and cANON are all FM posters and they’re all cagey about posting good photos because they lead back to their FM accounts lol

FM schizos are the problem here. Full frame supremacist, pixel tech overanalyzing, 3d pop tonality theorycrafting, DSLR shilling…

I still lurk. I've been all hands on deck trying to save my business, trucking is rough right now and I'm not making any money and working 90 hours a week. I haven't really shot anything all year other than Bonneville. I haven't been home other than for a week to do legal shit and keep my head above water.

2025 has been the most crippling depression I have ever experienced in my adult life and I actually considered an hero but too many people depend on me and I can't leave them high and dry.

some day I'll be shooting again like I used to, but right now it's just all hands on deck to try to make a buck. was good seeing you again, I hope life treats you well. don't forget us.

It's starting to turn around, a lot of the fraud and cheap foreigners are being rooted out and the industry is squeezing out all the people who can't hack it. If I stick it out long enough we'll be fine. I had my first 3 dollar/mile load all year a couple weeks ago so it's coming around, it just takes time. Fuel is coming down I just need my insurance to get cheaper.

I didn't mean to thread hijack but thanks guys, I'm not going anywhere. I'm glad to see pant5uit back I really loved his work, old /p/ was awesome.

Nice to see some oldfags here. I only started coming here seriously around 2018-ish, and I'm sure the place had declined even by then, but lately it has been noticably less friendly and more actively hostile while the passion seems to be slowly dwindling. I'll still drop some photos here, but I know I'll likely lose my patience for this place soon if things don't start looking up.

>>4491137
To be fair, huskyfag was at least right about micro four thirds being trash, cANON was right about mirrorless being a downgrade that will eventually hamper stills photography and open the door to AI cameras, and cinefag was right about street photography being a front for talmudic money laundering. Of course cinefag turned out to be the dog fucker

You'd best keep skipping them, they've gone full schizo ever since EXIF data was removed from /p/ and can't tell what camera took what photo.

Just ain't feeling it. I even bought a digital camera but it's been sitting on the shelf since October. Too much effort to then just drop the shits in some discord channel or here, let alone some bot infested shithole like IG so they can be harvested for AI training.

>>4492559
I don't think so. I have so many fucked up shots but that's what makes them special

>>4492560
I feel you bro. Have you considered supplementing vitamin d? Sometimes that can help during the colder months. Other times a break can be good even if you feel like a failure if you take one.
I didn't take a single pic for the past three-ish weeks and I finally got back into it with a single picture taken and developed yesterday and I took another one today so I can dev it tommorow. Feels good to be back woth renewed vigor.

Been posting here since 2019 but never got a trip.
What kills me is the lack of interaction here. No one dares to critique or post photos because the zoomer generation is afraid of ridicule.

>>4492608
Most anons here don't understand what critsism is.
One one side you have the insufferable nophotos:
>phone pic
>this was taken with [brand]
>shit photo
>so blurry and unsharp and muh fringing (it's not)
With zero comment on other things that make a photograph nice.

And on the other you have the dogshit yesphotos.
>this photo where I missed focus is great
>yes I used [BRAND] and that means I take good photos!
>empty parking lot snapshit #317
>photo of pet at home
>photo of literally nothing
That will post honest to god horseshit nothingburgers and reeee the moment they're called out on it.

>>4492610
Brainrotted zoomers want instant gratification when viewing photographs. If a photo does not provide instant gratification it becomes a shit photo of nothing.

I thought it would be different if I setup a professional level studio in my house but it wasn't. :(

God tier: picture of dog
High tier: sexy woman or cool dude
Great tier: pretty landscape
Good tier: cool car, funny street scene, wildlife
Okay tier: building corner, macro, still life
Bad tier: street signs, tree branches, zoo animals
Really bad tier: cat pictures
Shit tier: oops all bokeh
Inexcusable garbage tier: anything diversity, punk rock, etc flavored
Kill yourself tier: anime dolls

>>4492720
Somewhat based, but you forgot to put horse pictures into high tier. Farm animals can go in great tier also. I don't mind anime doll if taken on large format film with attention to lighting and composition, but a lot of them are way too goofy yeah. Also egg based still lifes get to go in good or great tier.

The reward for your photos shouldn't be posting them but keeping them for yourself.
I have the same issue with nowhere to post my photos, zero interaction on social media plus they get harvested by some AI crawler. So I'm slowly printing out my favourites to go on my wall.
It may be retarded but I spend hundreds a year to take photos that mostly just sit on my hard drive, but it gets me outside at least.

>>4492608
I've posted critique here and directly asked for it multiple times. I'd say my generation are worse for just being extremely insincere due to cringe culture rather than afraid of ridicule, but I suppose it's two sides of same coin.

But also millenials on more mainstream social media platforms are far worse for posting extremely low effort garbage and requiring hand holding through entry level issues.
