Photography

Just something from my boring life :P

First off I am not going to sugar coat my opinion so please don't get butt hurt. Just because you can use a filter doesn't mean it is photography. A good photographer can get a decent photo without having to edit and filter the fuck out of it.


This image isn't what I would call photography. All you have done is taken a snapshot of a set of posters and added a 3D effect to it. The image itself is from an awkward angle and it is hard to look at. There isn't any appeal to it at all.


This one has potential. The main issue is there isn't really any focus. I think it would look a lot better if you had a person facing the camera in the centre. That way there would be a focus point.


With this one it's okay as a snap shot. But the angle is awkward again and there isn't any real main focus. It's just not interesting.


Although I love cat's this image looks like you took one of your bad quality shots and cloned it with different filters. And it ruins the image completely.


I used to take pictures just like this one. The problem again is there is no real focus and the image is awkward again.

The best advice I can give you is play with camera angles, lighting, iso settings and don't be afraid to use coloured images. Also don't be afraid to leave your images raw. I leave all mine raw and I feel they are better then my past over edited photo's.

Well that's an interesting reply but actually I can see where you're going to..by the way I admit it's not professional pics but thank's anyway.I've put few different pic's than the old ones that you have rated.Maybe these are something that you would like to see

I don't think you're understanding me. I am trying to give you constructive criticism. My own images are no where near professional but I at least have an understanding of the elements of art. These images are much better but they still need work.


I do like the concept but I feel there is too much image if that makes sense. Maybe try playing with it and stuff. I also feel you have tried to accomplish the silhouette type of image. If so then I think that the focus should have been the background. That way there would be less details on the cat and it would look more silhouette like.


I'm not sure if this is just wrong angling or just in the wrong light but this image isn't working. If I were to try a landscape image I would try to make the horizontal line between the ground and the sky pretty much in the centre. i know different artists have different styles but this image just isn't working.


I like the idea of this image with the ground and the leaves but I feel you should play with more angles and even take the image more closely.


So I see you have discovered the fireworks button. The problem with this image is its way too busy. Too much is going on. Your eyes don't get drawn to one focus point.


Again this is the wrong lighting and I feel you should focus on angles a little more.

I'd be very happy if I would be able to see your photography, a bit curious i say.I want to see how you see things and surroundings in your life.Like I said it's not professional pictures it's just pictures that I wanted to be taken because i liked the idea.Oh and by the way I really appreciate for your constructive criticism, I really do it helps.
Thank you

P.S Don't think that I think about myself that I'm a great artist, because your wrong.
Personally I love this one _SSC0149.JPG

This is my gallery. I also post images I need help with or am experimenting with here for url purposes. I'm just beginning like you are but I have some knowledge on the theory side which helps with my work pieces.

I don't want to be rude but i think in my life I have seen lots of pictures like you have taken.I was expecting something unique and unseen because basically you gave me lots of criticism and maybe tried to look like your the best photographer in the world ,but I'm just saying.And I really missed all the advices you have given to me. Sorry if I hurt your feelings but it's just my opinion it's just how I see your art.But like you have mentioned that your a beginner just like me so i think it's good to experiment and put efforts in this stuff,learn something, get experience, cause i guess it's the only way to improve your knowledge and become better.

Oh, I'm just a beginner myself so no offence taken. I know my photo's are nothing special as I am just learning the basic's of my camera. I do have an Idea of a photography project coming up but that won't be until after November as I am focussing on completing my year 12. I don't mean to sound all pretentious or what not. I was just giving advice on how you could improve. You don't necessarily have to take it or not. Its just a suggestion. Others may have other and better suggestions too.
