cause a lot of his shots are with DOF and I don't take many pictures like that every photographer has their strong and weak points in what type of photography they're good at. For example I'm very good with long exposure, but DOF isn't really what i'm best at. where as he can be good at macro, and not long exposure. i'm more of a general picture taking person which means i take of everything rather than just one subject (macro, action, etc) but theres certain things i'm best at taking pics of and things i'm not (like i hate taking portraits of people lol) so really it's not about who takes better pictures it's about who takes better pictures in a particular subject. he's prob got me beat @ macro but i prob got him beat @ long exposure. -> http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs12/i/20...tive122986.jpg ghost anyone?

 

thank you.
i agree. everyday i take pics i improve by a little bit. i think it's like that w/ everyone. i always try to learn something new after every shoot.
yeah, i have a canon 30D. there are photography courses you can take or just pick up a camera and learn first hand. don't get discouraged if you don't like what you shoot at first. keep taking pics and you will learn as time goes by.
thanks.
no filters were used on any of these exposures.
thanks eddie.
thank you.
wrong. no filters were used. i never claimed that these pictures were one of a kind originals or that my shooting style is L337. that's like me telling you, 'all you did was slow down your shutter speed.' anyone can do anything you and i can do w/ basic camera knowledge.
very nice.
it's a great place to visit. just wish they let me roam around freely.
thanks dude.
you should go visit again. i'm hoping to do all the tours by the end of the year.
i don't do macro photography. i'm not specifically good in any type of shooting. i'm well rounded and can shoot any scenery that is presented to me. i'm not saying it will be the greatest but pretty damn good above average. i agree w/ you that portrait photography is my least favorite but i do it for a living as i own a portrait studio and pays good money.


thanks everyone for your kind comments and constructive criticism.

 

Those pictures came out amazing. Nice work.

 

wow magazine type pcitures thoroughly enjoyed these thanks for sharing!

 

thanks for the kind words.

 

you mean how to use manual knowledge. ok no filters... so you uped the contrast in ps then

 

every single one of my photos is tweaked in PS. i don't know any photogs that don't.

 

fixed

there are lots of amatures that don't

 

haha, thanks for the fix. PP every pic is just automatic.

 

im very impressed DC. im slowly trying to get into this kind of deal!

 

dude... why are you trying to jack his thread and talk yourself up? Constructive criticism is one thing, but there's no need to get all "I'm better than you"... I do lots of my own amatuer stuff with my Nikon DSLR, but I'm not going to start posting all my pictures and claiming I'm better. Go do something productive, like taking off your gas cap decal.

 

pwned

 

thanks stu. i'll warn you that if you do get into it, you will get hooked. i stopped modding my car for it. well worth it though.

 

my gf just started a photography class

showed her these as an example of what she can one day hope to achieve. fantastic shots =)


I'd also love to see a thread that Chevy Cobalt 08 posts in without just looking like an ignorant *****. Jealous much?

 

very nice pics...I love the flower pics (no homo!)...the hallway too!

 

As it has been said....nice camera

 

i'm sure your gf will truly enjoy her photog class. is she doing the B/W film class? those are the classes offered here. my exposures are no work of art to be honest. i've been doing it for over 5 years now and not a day goes by that i don't learn something new every time i click the shutter.

i'm a sucker for flowers. i love shooting them. especially right after it rains in the early morning. sometimes i'll just cheat and take a spray bottle and mist the flowers before i shoot to give them the same effect.

i think you're the first one to say 'nice camera' in this thread.

thanks anyway. although, the camera is pretty much useless if the shooter doesn't know what he/she is doing.

 

Awesome shots man and the lady is HOT! Congrats on the engagement

 

tbh im not entirely sure WHAT her class covers...she just started a week ago, an elective that fulfills her art requirement (future med student, actually)

but she seems to enjoy it, and I know that they're doing B/W at this point so far...no idea what they'll get into in the long run though.

my photog skills are weak. sad weak. I can't even take a 1/2 decent pic of my car, in any lighting. lol.

 

If its a basic class, it's probably just going to be B&W film.

It's cheaper to make prints that way.

 

like ryan said, it's more than likely a B&W film class then. it's a great class to take for basic knowledge. there are plenty of books out there to help you w/ your photo taking skills. lmk if you're interested in reading them. i can PM you links to books that helped me out tremendously.

thanks man. my fiance actually read your post so now she has a big head. we've been engaged since late november.

 

And we haven't been the same since

Gabe, you should get some extension tubes

Dude I tottally went hehehe when you said she got a big head after reading what I typed

 

You only say that because she's around!!
