to post something that isn't incredibly dark, as in, "what is that I am looking at, it is too dark to see." dark.

You can film with light. (not actual lights, the sun for example)

And overexposed windows in darkness doesn't count.

What?

I'm not sure.

That's why I said "what?" at the end.

Everything anyone ever posts is always disgustingly under-exposed.

Dark.

Everyone seems to have the same "style".

And I guess I'm not a fan.
 
Re: I challenge someone...

I agree that some of the things posted here are underexposed but also remember that Quicktime compression for the Web tends to darken the overall footage somewhat, giving the impression that it's underexposed.

On the other hand, there's plenty on here that does not suffer from underexposure so I take issue with your sweeping assumption.

Well it's not 100%, but everyday someone will post a video or screen shots and they will be very, very dark.

They may love them, but I tend to think that they aren't that great and I would like to see someone show off what their camera can do.
 
Re: I challenge someone...

I'll give you an example right now. I have a post called New Edit, right next to yours on this board, why don't you take a look at that and critque it?

Deal.
 
Re: I challenge someone...

Your video seems to suffer from the compression you mentioned above, but overall not bad. But, also not the best way to judge. How do I know if you wanted to shoot a dude talking to another dude in a kitchen that you wouldn't underexpose it? You clearly are more talented than most on this board, but who knows how you handle non-nature photography. You may have the same "style" as the others.
 
Re: I challenge someone...

I understand the concept of lighting all too well and there's no better way to learn it than by the challenge of available light.

You need to spend a little more time looking around at the examples on this board and you will find what you seek. Believe me, there are many talented people on this board...

i thoguht the same thing, then i callabritated my monitor and everything looks pretty great.

btw I think people like seeing "wow, theres alot of great talent on this board" posts alot more then, "wow, I am really unimpressed with the shooting of people on this board" posts.

Everyone here is very helpful and do not give useless critiques like this one.

In short, show us some of youre properly exposed shots so that we can critique them and tell you if they are up to par on our callibrated monitors
 
Re: I challenge someone...

this is a weird post.

There are some incredibly talented people on this board. I have seen some phenomenal looking movies here, which range from amazing natural photography like Disjecta's to Hi gloss music videos like Matt Mcdermott and everything in between.

I think your statement is generalized and misinformed.

What does saying "The world is a beautiful place, don't destroy it." have to do with anything. The least you can do is respond to Aaron's question to you without a programed responce.
