matthijs Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yay, I can finally make some money from bandphotos, €25 per photo. A local music and arts schools wants some promotional materials. I know it's rather cheap, but it'll be with my name. Happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthijs Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I would love to see that done with a zoom lens. I'm more for action and facial expression, rather than the 'nice surroundings' I just love glamrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more for action and facial expression, rather than the 'nice surroundings' Expressions aren't usually that great in those positions, to be honest. As demonstrated by my friend Ieuan: This was taken by a guy who just happened to be walking by the river Etive when we ran it, a couple of years ago. Quite often, proper actions shots are easier to achieve by taking screenshots of footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthijs Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 these are really freaking good! Thanks! Lost my job yesterday so went with my friend Jenni to take pictures for half an hour or so before it got dark. Muchos likos, the eye could've used a bit more light on it though.

Just shows that your body isn't everything, the lens does a lot more for your image quality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got Lightroom now but i'm still new to it and do most of my tinkering with Microsoft's own basic thing. I don't play too much so it does the job.

Don't get too strung up on unrealistic perfections or technicalities - it's not a glaring problem - or even a problem if you ask me. To me it's a characteristic of the feel of the piece/picture, which I think adequately reflects the (possible) feelings you were enduring at the time, re: job stuff. Also, sorry to hear about your job - hope you're good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Man, I think it's cool as it is! Don't get too strung up on unrealistic perfections or technicalities - it's not a glaring problem - or even a problem if you ask me. To me it's a characteristic of the feel of the piece/picture, which I think adequately reflects the (possible) feelings you were enduring at the time, re: job stuff. Also, sorry to hear about your job - hope you're good Ah don't get me wrong, I like it the way it is, but what Matthijs said was also something I'd missed because normally I do make copies of copies/edits to tinker with further as practice. I did show the eye up more and it looked about as good. More detail but the white made it a bit... alien? To be honest, I always like to get portraits and my friend Jenni is one of the few who allow it because she does photography too. It was really grey/wet weather so I felt black and white suited, but I guess maybe I did subconsciously go for a really moody edit because of the job On which note thanks. I'm okay ish. Sucks because it was a dream job - writing about geeky films/tv/games/tech and also doing all the site photography and going to conventions. Ah well. Time to move on.

minnie Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Does anyone do photos of small stuff? I've been playing around with 1 or 2 things only in the photo, but still learning. Not sure this will look good but here goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 was it on a black background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnie Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 No, the leaf was on a neutral colored rug and I filled in the black background with Photoshop . I still do not know how to post pix so they look bigger, but I guess I'll learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco345 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 what do you think? it's on the grassland behind our house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Nice depth of field, solid focus on the leaf... doesn't quite standout enough for me though. I'm glad you didn't black and white it else it would get lost in amongst the branches so I don't know, maybe a tighter crop to the image and then a boost of saturation would fix it. Not a bad shot though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 One of my pet peeves with some of the more recent photos is focus... They're somehow not very crisp... I do like the ideas, and it reminds me of the photography challenge... but I'm not going to try to resurrect it because I suck at keeping it going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
