If I had a time machine I would murder every man or woman that attempted to invent the skateboard.

You retarded?

Urgh. A pathetically defensive and easily butthurt OP retard to boot. What on Earth implied jealousy in that post? What on Earth is there to be jealous of? A shitty snapshot? No thanks.

My advice is for you to LURK MOAR. Anything anyone says is going to be the same thing said to the last dozen "first time I've used a camera LULZ!" visitors that vomit the fist thing that comes into their head and out of the camera onto this board without ever bothering to read first. If you had read previous threads you'd already have all the general advice and tips you could ever get through for months and know better than to post this shit FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME THIS WEEK.

I will admit I am being hard on you, but this same damn thread is posted time and again along with "WAT MY FIRST CAMERA SHOULD I GET????". The same advice is given time and again. It's fucking ignorant and pathetic not to lurk at least a little and my patience for helping those who don't care to put any effort in by themselves is gone thanks to the waves of idiots every week.

hey op don't worry about it these guys are just ball less cowards. they are afraid of your shot and the power it exudes. they are little girls too scared to put their subject right in the middle of the frame and shoot it at a boring as angle and shoot in the middle of the day and to shoot such a grand subject like some dumb high school kid trying to be edgy with a gay fad that died out ten years ago. fight the power!

op i hate you..... you took my dream of being an aspiring skate photographer, and made a mockery of it.... if you were in front of me. i would shit in a bag. give it to your dog to eat, then make him lick your face. then i would take your mom out to a nice dinner and never call her again. then i would dress up as som highschool girlfag, and ask you to prom. only to reveal that i am a guy at the end whenwe become prom queen and king...

RAGE!!!!!

Rule of thirds or some shit. Who the fuck knows, we can't be bothered to help you, because you suck.

Go buy a book or something.

idk, it just seems really bland and boring. not a horrible picture. try to learn as much as you can about photography meanwhile and try different things.

Lighting sucks. The thing about shooting skaters is you need unique lighting. Plain Jane lighitng makes your picture look like shit.

Also nothing is really being told in the picture. Bland lighting+bad positioning=fail :(

Try again though, atleast it didn't come out blurry.

Technically, the picture is fine (In focus, exposed properly, decently narrow DoF), and composition isn't bad, it just feels bland, lacks any drama of the moment. Anons who are bitching about rule of thirds are forgetting that it works vertically as well as horizontally.

Your main problem is location. A parking lot full of cars is both uninteresting, and too distracting. The bright sky is also causing some issues with getting a good exposure, either you'll overexpose it, or underexpose the skater.

My recommendation is to find a location with a relatively simple background, a tall wall or side of a building would work well, and to shoot from a low angle. The reason for using the wall is to block out the sky, letting you expose well while shooting upwards, as well as to avoid unnecessary distraction. That said, if it's a cool building or wall, like covered in tagging or something, that can work well, and I'd be interested to see a shot like this taken in front of a large tinted window, with a good reflection of the skater.

You're out shooting, you've got a good niche to work with, and you're working on photography rather than sitting around jacking off to your gear, so you're already a step ahead of most of the anons here.

Trust me, you have..

The point of this tripcode is not to post photos and ask the mighty /p/ for advice..

The point of this tripcode is to tell the truth, un alterd, my honest opinion.

If people cant deal with it, then they shouldn't post stuff here for review should they?

It makes no difference if i post my work here or not, as that would then make my replys relative to the stranded of my own work.

I could be the worst photographer this place has ever seen, then again, i could be the best... it dosnt matter

If more people acted like i did, we wouldent have topics like this, stupidly drawn out, over some bullshit photo, where a few try to stand up for a bullshit snap shot under the defense of "art"

So cry all you want little boy, am here to stay

I never said anything about not browsing any board other than /p/.
But taking the attitude of /b/ everywhere you go is why most boards here suck these days.
Not to say that I'm not being any different at the moment, but it makes me rage.
