Ness' Photography Dump

Omgg I love photography; I'm hoping to be a camerawoman one day haha

Just wanna wish you good luck! xD

The picture needs to be bigger for a better view. From what I can tell though shouldn't the background be more blurred so it shows more focus on the guitar?

Well, if you'd like the real image, it takes up the entire post and all you can see is the guitar pick. I resized it, but it came out a bit smaller and I didn't really feel up to resizing it again.

I was also trying to go for the focus on the guitar pick, with the distance of the neck to the guitar having a nice effect since the lighting from my window was giving of a perfect reflection of it. I could resize it if you'd like to see it better?

Wow. You're going be a professional as soon as you're 18? How old are you now if you've just started getting into it?

I'm currently 14, I want to try to go to a film academy somewhere, i've always been a big fan of some photography online.

Also can't tell if this is sarcasm but w/e

I started taking some photo's today but my camera ran out of batterys, so I had to settle with what I had for now. Anyway, this picture I think is the best one I took out of all that I took today, so some critique on it would be nice. I also tried a photo editor to try and blur out the backround for the first time, so I don't know if it will be that great. Anyway, heres the photo c:


Any advice or critique would be nice c:

I used to really be into photography, so this is pretty cool to see. For just starting out though, these are pretty good! The best tip is to just keep taking photos, and figuring out how you like to take them. Treat it like a form of art, and they'll surprisingly become better and better!

I hope to see more c:

I actually love photography and critique - so this is right up my alley!

Blurring is good, but it has to be gradual. In focusing on something in real life, you don't have one spot that's super crisp and everything else is suddenly one other level. You need to do more of a radial blur if you're going to blur route. Also, you need to be able to define your focus in other ways besides the blur. Having it take up a majority of your composition is a good way, but like in this example it's hard to tell if you want us to focus on the pot holding the plants (like the whole container) or just that individual plant.

You're also going to want any distractions gone from the picture. Like in this one, I know it wasn't your intention, but my focus keeps shifting to the yellow label at the bottom. Its a vibrant yellow, which is VERY good at catching attention. Unfortunately, I don't think that's quite what you want the viewer to pay attention to.

Finally, just a quick tip, but sometimes it adds to image variety if you have your focus (the thing you want people to focus on in the image) set to kind of a thirds thing, if that makes sense. Like if you offset it a 3rd of the image to the left or right, it adds more dimension. It just depends on what else you've got though. Like in your first picture, the flow of the piece was a vertical line, so center was good. In this one, there's a lot of diagonals that you could have played with when taking the shot, so I think setting it off would have perhaps been better.

But like Luca said, it's ultimately an expression of art. There's no right or wrong way to take photos - just some tips from the style I've developed ;u;

Thanks Miss Kat, i'll definitely work on it c:

I like the ideas, but the backgrounds are too distracting! Find some nice colored backgrounds that compliment (or nicely contrast) the focus object!

Or even just some backgrounds that aren't as interesting as the focus.
