Photography (Large images, warning)

[Android-18]

Unedited, well, I rotated the canvas =P.

being a photography student for a few years now, i like see pics like these every once in a while.


But i like the middle one best, while the first one i think could have been shot at a different angle just to get more of the flower in and make it more viewable

I felt I'd leave them the default size, so the quality isnt changed.

That first spider one is magnificent.

I have to copy the style of Freeman Patterson, and I think it kinda looks similar. His photos are typically a little blurred or distorted. I'm going to see what my photography teacher thinks.

Can I shot that spider? >.>

It looks to me like you're using a Digital Camera. A lot of the effects created by professional photographers are on fully manual SLR cameras.

The first two are really good. They both make good use of the natural light. The first one's background is alittle bit too light, but you could darken it a tiny bit in PS. If it wasn't for the light in that one you couldn't tell what your subject matter was. It's harder to do with a automatic camera but you can also blur the background to give your subject more focus.

For low light pictures you really need a tripod. The lens is open for probably half a second on those pictures and you can't take those without camera shake. I would probably not have used the flash on those other dark pictures. They turn out much better when you bring external lights in. Although, that's often expensive and/or time consuming. I don't really like any of the night photos, the flash really washes them out and isn't helping the photo at all.

If I were you I'd try to take pictures on bright, overcast (cloud cover helps to reduce shadows) days. Again, you can't pick the weather always.

But you seem to be able to pick out good shots. Don't be afraid to manipulate the scene before you take the picture.

I'm going to be editing some of the white areas, but this will be my choice for the assignment.

I wish so much to have a really nice camera. The one I have is kind of shabby. It has duck tape on it because the battery cartridge is broken and won't stay down. I could have tried using the school studio, but I wanted to do nature.

It's been raining for 3 days x.x it's kinda sucky.

I like it cuz it looks like it's moving.

I'd like to see some photo manipulation via PhotoShop. For example, desaturating everything but the main thing, or w/e.


They are nice though. Keep it up.
