I am nothing more than a critic. I gotta say, nice work guys. I also gotta give L an Honorable Mention. L, your compositions are really coming together nicely and I must say that you're developing a good eye along with a strong technique. You've improved remarkably since you posted those first photos gee...what was that...2 years ago? 3? Nice work L.

I also like the Devin's diving photo as well as the dog hanging its head out the window. Actually Devin, those are all nice pieces. The two stage photos seem a bit too washed out to me but that's probably because they don't quite fit in with the some of the others that have a stronger emphasis on contrast and shadow. I know they'd work in a different setting/venue. The little girl picture makes me smile and the dog...well, he/shr makes me feel good.

I'm of the opinion, probably because I'm travelling as of tomorrow, that photos, in an artistic context, should evoke emotion(s) as opposed to depicting a subject as in person, place, or thing. As with any artistic endeavor, eliciting a compulsory response is what makes the artist, at least intrinsically, successful.

George, who is that? She's lovely. I love the comparison series.

We're all critics; everyone just brings their own perspective to the table.



You've got a point - You'd hope that the subject matter in your photos is able to convey those emotions. If they do not, or are in a poor position to do so, it falls upon the photographer to offer the right perspective upon the subject matter - as if saying, "Hey! This is cool, now look at it THIS way."

The viewer may never be where the photog is, esp at that specific point the moment is captured. Thus it's the "artist's" job to transport the viewer there effectively.

Thanks Civil! Yeah my style developed alot this past summer kinda sad my main lens crapped out on me :( I've been shooting since Feb 2011 btw.

I coudlnt agree more with your guys words more. One thing that i've been working in directing the eyes of the viewer. and this past summer im slowly realizing what I want to shoot is more of story type shots. if i can evoke emotion i can create these stories.

I wanted to add a section for photographers since we have a couple semi-professionals and professional photographers. I have been getting more and more into photography since it's about the only thing right now I can do that doesn't require a super amount of physical activity and makes time fly by when you are fixated on a photograph. So we don't have a hot mess of random photos please adhere to these rules:



  1. Must be a photo you have captured.
  2. explain the reason or reasons for the photographs
  3. Must be safe for work and families (no porn or nude photos) I know some nudes are considered art but workplaces really don't care what the photograph is meant for.
  4. if you edited the photograph, give a quick explanation of what you did to it
  5. if it's a portrait you can include the name, date and location but only if you want too
  6. Please make sure the photograph is unique in one way or another. No low res pictures of letters you made with pee in snow. Unique guys. Artsy, surreal,portraits, landscape you get what I'm saying.

POST YOU'RE NAME FIRST AND THEN ALL THE PHOTOS, AFTERWARDS; EXPLAIN PHOTO'S IN ORDER AS YOU HAVE PLACED THEM.

*EXAMPLE




  • NAME
  • photo1
  • photo 2
  • photo 3

WHAT WAS THE PHOTO FOR OR YOU'RE INSPIRATION FOR THE PHOTOGRAPH


Thats pretty much it, with photography; you're photo paints the scene, you're words give it life so be descriptive.

Glad you guys like it.

I was pre-editing some photos from today's hike and I got a few good ones. I'll have to do a final edit once I'm in the computer lab since my monitor blows.

Photos will be up on Monday.
