I don't hate kids...just the tangy aftertaste.
 |  |  | Some help and honest critiques
< on 2/28/2008 4:02 PM >
|  | | | Hey guys,
I know some of these pics are not UE related, but I'm looking to submit some stuff to a journal of arts and letters...you know publishing purposes and work up credentials for my work and portfolio.
So, anyhoo, I'd appreciate any honest and/or helpful critiques before I submit anything, because in addition to being explorers, we are also photographers.
(P.S. Keep in mind this is an artsy-journal)
#1 The Angry Dress
#2 Bus Station @ Night
#3 Conversational Dumps
#4 Fisheye Alley
#5 Frank
#6 Pioneer Face
#7 Night Chem

|  | | | I'm going to be honest here and say that art is more than fisheye lenses, blurry snapshots and photoshop effects. I don't know where you're submitting these, but I'd concentrate less on trying to look "arty" and more on taking pictures that actually say or show something of interest.
#5 is nice though. And the one with garbage bins is interesting, but that's due more to someone else's creativity than your own.

#1 doesnt do it for me
#2 is a little blurry
All the rest are good

ok. I agree, #2 is blown out, it was one of my first attempts at digital and I still struggle to shoot the bus station at night.

I agree with you. Before trying my hand at photography I was (and for the most part still am) an artist. I want to portray on film what I can create by hand, but at times find it difficult. The only 2 that I used photoshop with were the digital ones, the dumpsters and the chairs(of course). The first one was purely a mistake and caught quite candidly with a red side-marker light taken off of a radio tower. I really like the red, I didn't retouch this pic, and I feel like it comes closest in my attempt to recreate what I like to do with my art. I don't know, if it were a sharper image, it might be more pleasing.
Again, thanks for you guy's feedback

| | | | I'm a little bit of a day late and a dollar short on this, but hell... Two is blown out, but the picture has potential. I would suggest trying it as an HDR, you could get pretty much the same effect, but with a lot more clarity.
Number 4 would be more interesting if there was information on both sides of the picture... Perhaps number 7 would have been a better fisheye...
But number one... WOW awesome awesome shot!

| | | | i think your photos are interesting.
#1: i absolutely LOVE the color, creativity & content of this shot. and my only suggestion would be to maybe crop just that tiniest shadow of the underneath of her eyes out of the photo. it seems a bit odd just on the very edge of the photo.
#3 is very interesting. i think it's an interesting shot, especially with the text on the dumpsters.
#5 tried to tell a story about frank. i wonder what he's pointing/looking at. is he a building inspector? *wink*
#8 is very fun and very 'artsy." i like the colors and the symmetry in the photo.
great job!
