Title: [Photography] A few thingummys (56k friendly)
Post by: Zeddy on 26 Aug 2007, 16:19
In the spirit of being a complete bastard, I figured I'd be greedy and make a whole topic for myself, even though there's already one there. I'm a bit of an attention-whore when it comes to my art, but that's the only way you'll get noticed! :D

Here are a few photos I've taken over about a year.

These were all taken (bar the 3rd, 4th and 5th) with a compact camera. Sony P-200. The others were taken with a recently-acquired Nikon D40. Score!

There are more, but I didn't wanna spam up the topic. The rest of 'em are here: http://t3ddykill3r.deviantart.com

Gimme crits! Constructive criticism is always accepted, and I don't mind being called a 't4l3ntl355 n00b ph4g!' either, but I'll probably just ignore you.

a) Kay. I'll bear that in mind next time. I feel like a puppy being told off for shitting everywhere. I had good intentions at heart, but I failed completely.

b) Thanks for the crits. I've stopped adding titles in the photograph itself now. I spent about 2 years trying to find a decent way of bordering my photos and adding a good title in it. Then I realised I just didn't know how to, so, I stopped. :D

Borders: check out this fella (http://wb-skinner.deviantart.com/) over at dA. He puts borders on all of his work, and he does it well.

Also, all of his photos are awesome. I've yet to find one I don't like.

Thanks for the link Caiphana!

Yeah, he uses the same one on all of them though, and it works! However I find that sometimes chunky borders work better than thin ones and vice versa. Same with black and white ones.

They are a little bit small to see...do you have a flickr? It's a good way to get noticed by other  photographers. Good way to get critiques and comments too. Love the cat one though, very nice job.

I forgot to add a grin to the end of that sentence I think Anyways. Then again, I've been known for flaming the hell out of people, so I guess I was kinda expecting to reap what I sowed when I came here. Thanks anyway, Anyways.

And I didn't know that... I've been using Imageshack since forever and none of that's ever happened to me. Ah well.

And uhh... Runs_With_Scissors... Click on the photo. : D

Ah, I did that AFTER I posted. I'm special that way  :roll:

Oh, and you can call me RWS...I forgot to post that in your welcome thread.

I MAEDS ANOTHER!

Yeah, I went out for a walk yesterday and came across an old boatyard. Something's up with my photoshop too... Everything in it seems so much brighter than the actual finished saved picture, also a lot sharper. Which sucks, 'cause then you get results like these (and yes, I was going for the whole 'desaturated' look. The title of the picture is Forgotten.

Don't feel bad about it, this is the best criticism I've recieved in a long time.

Thanks for that. And..did you mean the brown thing in the bottom left? I would have cropped it, but somehow it didn't look right.
