Your Photography

Unread post by Fruitcakes »

I like Photography. I didn't care about it much until just last year. Something in my mind just sparked while I was out playing basketball. Unique, or just out of the ordinary scenes just amaze me. I'm not really good at taking pictures, or editing them, but I'm interested on if you guys have anything good to share that you took?

Here's the original picture of my Avatar (I took it one day while I was rollerblading. I sat down on a fence and just snapped a picture from a weird angle. I just like it, not sure why.)

That's honestly like saying "Painting the Mona Lisa doesn't make Da Vinci an artist." It's just one photo I took of many.

No painting the Mona Lisa requires time and skill by an expert. That makes him an artist. Taking a random picture of skates is something anybody can do.

that can be photography sometimes, other times it takes hours to set something up, it really can be either.

seriously tampa, i dont think you have any say in anything art so please remove your douche ass self from the thread.

theres a lot more to photography than you'll ever know, and if fruitcakes wants to pursue this field this simple photo of his skates might be the beginning to that. don't freakin' down others with your stupid opinions.
keep taking photos, and research what would make the shot better.
keep painting pieces, and research what techniques will be useful to your skill.

Tampa is to art as Carrot Top is to art.

If Tampa attempts to argue, no matter how wrong he is, you ignore him. It's not worth it and it will only serve to annoy the people reading the thread.

So yeah, keep taking pictures, throw them in the established thread if only for consistency's sake.

You said anyone can take a picture of skates. Well. Example below. Anyone can take a picture of a sunset. Does that mean it's bad?

Photography is perspective. Anything can be beautiful in one perspective or in another.
