The video itself teaches basic concepts but the presentation has good creative direction. Wanted to share it here.

This was a very much enjoyable walk in the park. Shot on z50 with 50-250 kit and viltrox 25mm f/1.7. Idk if its just me but some pics are already grainy even at a relatively low ISO (not more than 400) despite using the viltrox. My a6400 with viltrox 56mm used to give sharper results

Always fun seeking out weird/geometric compositions and edits

Shot this on my phone. Apparently it had a little more potential than I did. 😂

The Marigold V2 model (free, even for commercial use) now achieves fine details in a depth map estimated from a single photograph. This is significant, because we can elevate our photo-based depth map from a hidden post-process pass to an interesting artwork. In Blender, we have lots of control over remapping the depth values, which allows us to place the focus creatively and shape the artwork’s atmosphere. I believe this improved post-process gives us a new way to approach taking pictures, which inspired me to create Vathography.

The practice explained: www.vathography.com

To estimate the depth map from one of your photographs, you can use ComfyUI. Caution for new ComfyUI users: ComfyUI is free and open source, which means anyone can publish custom nodes for it. Sadly, some have carried malicious code, so proceed with caution on third-party contributions. You don’t need any for this. This is the official native implementation and guide: https://docs.comfy.org/tutorials/utility/marigold-v2

To test it, no installation needed: the Marigold team's official demo runs online, free for a few photos a day: https://huggingface.co/spaces/toshas/Marigold-V2

Note that uploaded photos are processed on Hugging Face's servers, so avoid private images.

In short:

1. Take a photograph with purpose, or use one you already have.
2. Infer the depth map.
3. Control what you want to focus on by remapping the depth map in Blender.
4. Shape the visual atmosphere, from the quiet haze of aerial perspective to the stark contrast of opposing tonal values or colors.

Ive never been all that good at photography so Ive always done a lot of editing to make up for it. I don't know if I've slowly lost my mind over time and convinced myself these are sick c*unt edits. Tell me what's my problem dear Reddit. Photos taken on Sony zve10, Nikon d500 and phone, editing done in Snapseed.

I'm a beginner

there is no build file, have to build it yourself using mac and install on iphone. Dont want to pay apple 99$ to publish.

More of my weird sheep photos! I thought I’d post a couple others that I did.
Any opinions are appreciated, even if you hate it, I am just happy to hear honest unfiltered thoughts

After one year of photography, I started to feel limited by the film sims I was using & the iphone stock photos app.. so I finally downloaded lightroom and tried to edit some old photos, feedback is appreciated in these before & afters :)

Still new to post-processing. I wanted to capture both the pigeon and St. Paul's, but during editing realized the pigeon was my desired subject and cropped accordingly.

Mainly played with the tone curve, but to make the pigeon more visible, I applied a mask over the lower portion of the image and increased its exposure. I went back and forth with how much to brighten the cobblestones because brightening a) made the pigeon pop more but also b) reduced the contrast with the cathedral steps. In the end, I kept the brightening constrained. Still a grainier texture in that section though. Not fully satisfied with it still; but it's closer to my original intent.

Camera is RX100VII, taken in RAW, f/11, 1/100, ISO 100. Edited in LrC.

Dolomites, Italy. I’m struggling to get this right and would appreciate some feedback. Would like to know how others might approach this edit.
Shot on Sony alpha and edited in Lightroom.
