Photography Thread
 

any photographers on the board? I recently bought a d70, I have been using the hell out of it and enjoy it. Still paying it off though.

My gallery is www.decoygenocide.com/gallery.html

Damn I love your pictues.

Pretty cool pics i gotta say they were BOMB

im totally jealous of your pictures
ive always been interested in photography & think its pretty cool but unfortunately my photographic skills are...well there not even in existance
:(

Sweet pictures. I know Alex and Seth....

ermmz, i take pictures..ermm i would scan them on but they are cheap ass poloroids, cause mikey cant afford a decent camera

I like some photography, though I've never really understood what's so artistic about looking through a diminutive box and pushing a button.

In you 'Graffiti pictures' i liked numbers 5 and 8.. the others didn't really catch my eye.

I didn't really like any of the 'people pictures'. There not artistic enough, opr they are i just don't see it. They seem really real, and normal pictures that any one can take. I bet thats what you were going for tho? if so then good. If not then what were you going for?

in your 'Misc pictures' i found them all to be very intersting and well taken. Not sure about two or three of them tho, the blood and the rope.. there really cool but questionable :) . The other pictures like the angels were really well taken, from intersting angles and coloring.

i love really bright and colorful pictues, and or black and white, but nothing really normal in between.
all in all good job.

i'm also very interested in photography, and hope to some day go to school for it.

I am only 15, Just take a camera and go around a shoot. Thats the best way to learn.

i agree completely. Keep it up. :)

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Even your own bungalowbill is in the people section!

wow! my very own bungalowbill :laughing: yes i've noticed that picture there. the lighting in that one is kind of interesting, was it planned to be like that or did it just kind of happen? oh and you two know each other personally? interesting.

Wow dude those pictures are all really cool....Minus the one with Lame Alex :D

Have a camera saturday and we'll take some good pictures.

I slowwed the shutter speed down when he went to do a trick on his skateboard, thats all that happened :laughing:

me likey. you have my seal of approval. animal pics were swell.

Those were reall cool! I loved the animal ones, what cutsie doggies. I really liked the one of the little dog snarling!

thanks, that was the only dog that was actually mine.

That f*cking dog.

you know you love bizkit. :laughing:

Looks good! Who's the blonde?

If you really want to learn photography in the artistic sense you need to look into getting a 35mm SLR and a couple of black and white films and just experiment. Digital photography can only teach you so much, you need to know the original methods of photography.

It requires alot more than that. Firstly when you are taking the photographs you need to get the right appature for what you want, have the right shutter speed and setup a good composition. Then you have to process the film and then develop it and make some prints. You can then use a whole range of techniques while taking your film and making some prints, from using filters to masking, buring and dodging, to creating a movement burning effect to painting developer on your print. Those are just a few of the things you can use and the important thing is to see if you can do them well.

I really like them :)
and i agree with eimp. keep it up !
there are FAR too many people who claim to be photographers, or love photography, when all they really do is take a few pictures of themselves, and they're generally rubbish, but yours are ace, and you have a knack for it, so keep going !

Why don't you think I already know photography in the artistic sense. :rolleyes:

Because you saw some real art on a wall, pointed a digital camera at it, and pushed a button.

That does not require any artistic talent...whatsoever.

Haha, you're a fool.
So photography isn't art?

I thought the pictures were pretty good.

It doesn`t need to be artistic it`s a photography thread not an artistic photography thread.

Atleast he called graffiti real art.

Photography is artistic too.
Look at some of the picture in the Misc. section, even the people and animals.
I definitly couldn't take a picture like that.

Not always.

Sure could have fooled me.
I'm quite confidant that Ansel Adams would disagree with you there.

If only I cared what Ansel Adams had to say about anything.

Oh, because you know much more about photography than he does :rolleyes:

No, and I don't have to in order to state that quite a bit of photography fucking garbage and is not artistic at all.

Just because YOU think it's garbage doesn't make it any less art.
So if someone made a painting that YOU thought was sh*t, it isn't art?
