Quoted post whats going on in this picture?? Quoted post [/b] Sorry for my slowness. This was taken in February 2003 at the San Francisco Anti-War Rally. There was a small unpermited march down Market Street right in front of the hotel I was staying at. I got about 40+ photos of the confrontaion with the police and protestors. Fun. decu, I'm glad you like the Polaroid camera. Let me know if you need any help. Some more... *excuse the watermark Digital... Print.

stratodab Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Gawdang! This thread's so rad. There's so many hot photos since I clicked on here last... Yeah, I've seen photos on here recently I'd be down to trade for. For folks who're shooting digi or have access to a scanner prints via mail like mpix.com are cheap, archival, availible in/ lots of sizes... KTO8- You've got some great portraits. I agree that Ms.HelloKitty is most compelling, but the chick & dumpster and the air conditioner & straw hat guy are pretty interesting too. Got more? jbrsh- those misc. photos are all hot, the marble preist and car crash especially. Also, the corpse-man above the commuter train door is surreal, and sweet. and yes, yes jeff soto is very nasty. I just got my first Juxtapoz in the mail today since my old subscription ran out last summer- that mag is always so fresh. dear sas- nice studio shots, technically speaking, though they dont hold my attention after the 2 second check-out-the-girl moment. thanks for the feedback- i wasnt intentionally trying to portray a lifestyle, though I'm pleased they come across as cohesive. I take photos of what I see as interesting moments and so I suppose the photos I take are pretty reflective of my interests. On that note, what's up with all the interest in walls and flat architecutre? Seems like lots of posts are trying really hard to find design elements & beauty in really,really mundane & familiar settings. Like that kid in American Beauty filming the bag in the wind. I mean, sometimes they work, like but others end up still being pretty damn boring. A flat,unadorned wall doesn't command my interest when I walk by, so why does it become interesting when framed with a photo border? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A flat,unadorned wall doesn't command my interest when I walk by, so why does it become interesting when framed with a photo border? Quoted post "It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seeeeeeeeeeeen." :haha: I think we touched on this a few (dozen) pages ago, but you're right. Unless it's done "correctly," whatever that may mean, the shots of, essentially, nothing can get tired. I think a lot of it has to do with the appreciation people have for open space that comes from, in many cases on the board, writing and painting. Of course, like anything else, trying to convey what you see in the wall is the hardest part and, unfortunately, least likely to be successful. For every "good" image of a wall I shoot, there are probably 50 that have nothing interesting to say. I think a lot of younger, more inexperienced photogs (not that I'm all skills or anything) see the good "empty" shots of "nothing" and say "That's photography? Well shit, I could do that!". Then you get a load of unsuccessful images that, thanks to wholly innocent ignorance, suck. The whole "toy" metaphor carries over to here as well. Then again, people may just be boring.

ourladyqueenofsorrows Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 The last two pages of this thread are crazy good. Finally took my camera out yesterday. Only three shots of the same building but I like the way they came out. Do people here use tripods? I'm thinking I might need to start using one soon for my outdoor stuff. Any suggestions or recommendations for a good, portable tripod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issac Brock Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 For the above post, I like your 2nd picture, but the other two don't do much for me. No clear subject is apparent. However, I do really like the 2nd one. As for tripods, hit up ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODS-1 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 The Insider: That fire pic is pretty cool! Fuck I need to take pictures of more things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Insider Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 thanks ODS-1. ourladyqueenofsorrows: i agree with issac brock, your focus isnt very clear but the second one is pretty dope, i like the color's. as for the others, try to find a main focus point and componsate eather side with something very busy and then something empty too balance the pictures composition. also when taking a shot try not too include something in the back round that will take a way from the focus, for example, cars are a big distraction, unless the car is a focus. but try not too distract from the focus. Overall nice work. keep shooting. and keep posting i will post some more later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
