I went out to play this weekend while I was back home for an otherwise unhappy reason, and got some decent shots - i've never tried these types of shots with a digital before, so thought id post em up for feedback.

No. This are the kind of shots some newbie with a new digital camera takes. Only first one is kinda decent.

go back to shooting porn.

>>238979
Cool!

The rest just don't really compare at all.. and I'm inclined to agree with....
>>238991
Except I'd change the word kinda with really.
They're just so random and like snapshots.

This is pretty normal though when anyone ventures into areas they have little experience in. Like how Vincent is normally fuckawesome.. but he tried to take abstract shots which were just plain awful.. even when he first shot a model they were just bland as hell.
So yea, just because they're not as great as your model stuff doesn't mean you should give up on other areas completely.

Hope this makes sense and isn't too offensive to you (sorry Vincent haha, I always use you as reference)

I love the first image, and I liked the other one that I linked.
>> I||ICIT !!mknjFN/v/49
*agrees with the general consensus*

that first one is great, however i wouldve moved her away so it doesnt look like a tree's coming out of her...

the rest are SOOOOOO bleh, which like beethy siad is prob cos its out of your comfort zone, which lucky for you is where most of us do feel comfortable (taking mundane snapshots...)
you should be glad that theyre shit and you still take good pics when you need to.

black and white insta fail in this case. this really isnt helped by black and white, i want to see the colors of her tatoos. but it looks like a lot of things are either blown or underexposed so i gues B&W was a crutch to save this?

could have been really awesome if there were some better clouds, but nice shot none the less

kinda cool. properly exposed and what not just not a WOAH LOOK AT THAT kind of subject

>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
I really like the Wings shot. Possibly just due to heterosexuality.

The rest were... Eh. Not bad, but not really that compelling either.
>> Liska !!LIVFOETqL8j
>>239037

but i did it with film- not digital- and its extremely different for both. So are the resulting shots. I still prefer film, but costs right now say digital.
>> Liska !!LIVFOETqL8j
>>239062

and her wings are b/w, there's no color in the tats. I changed it b/w, because that's what we decided we wanted it to be :)
>> Vincent !!8LCSE0Zp1mL
>>238997
Lol, Ya I agree, though for some reason I've had people really adore those same abstract shots everyone on 4chan hates.

But the leaves and whatnot are just too bland, With stuff like this you NEED interesting patterns, textures, lines, OOF areas, something other than just the subject to bring the picture together.

You do it really well with models, just apply that creative background / leading lines to these shots too.
>> Liska !!LIVFOETqL8j
>>238997

Beethy... you need to realize that for the last 15 + years, i've been doing no models at all and like a lot of the shots you see below- except with film instead of digital? :x

I guess maybe i should post some of my old film work in here as samples, because with velvia it worked out a lot better than it did with digital. ha!

Of course they are- i fucking hate digital but i'm stuck with it, so damn straight. i'm looking for better feedback than "just snapshots" and "boring".

Care to give it a try with some actual feedback like>>238997>>239029

so in other words, you're a troll with no outstanding knowledge of photography and no idea what you're doing. Thanks for the warning, i'll just ignore you.

Anyone else?

lol, you think so much of your photos, but they are only average (this ones are pretty bad), don't worry, women photographers are like that, and believe me i know quite allot of them, of course there are exceptions, but you aren't one.
>> feedback stickb0y7 !9FVrc11kpo
>>238979
my eye is drawn to her tattoos and shape of her curves, but i feel like the photo is too far away to focus on those things. i think it would benefit by cropping the top and bottom
>>238980
i remember seeing your work on velvia, but i think these shots just don't turn out the same on digital. the photo is good technically, maybe a little too shallow DOF, but the subject doesn't interest me. green leaves, one brown one, nice bokeh, the foreground almost blends into the background too much
>>238981
same for this one - looks good technically, but not that interesting. very nice colors, but i keep thinking, "it's just some brown leaves." also the sunlight highlighting around the stems makes it look a little funny, almost artificial
>>238983
too much sky in my opinion. especially for black and white, it's all grey and not interesting. the boats aren't bad, but wishing there was more to it. were the boats colorful? maybe better in color. i'm thinking a scene like this is colorful and bright and fun, summer day, but it's kind of depressing with that much grey sky.
>>238984
the texture and angle are sort of interesting on this one, but i wish there was actually more detail in the wood. shadows on the left make me want to move out of the way to see it more clearly in direct light.
>>238985
this one is more interesting to me - nice red fruit, green out of focus background. wish there was a little more light on the fruit, plus maybe a little bit more DOF, some of the highlights are out of focus, and the green ones aren't sharp either.
>>238987
the leaf with all the holes is a little more interesting, but otherwise, see>>238980

that's how it works irl though. people who have no idea about what you actually achieved will be judging your work. in the case of this guy though i doubt it's really the case he has no idea though.

im sure they have training or something, its not like some guy just got famous by saying "this movie sucks"out of no where they atleast have earned a reputation.

i guess its better to say its hard to take an anonyfag who has no hands on experience seriously. not to say your opinion doesn't count but if i was op i wouldn't take what you said to heart. especially when you offer no constructive criticism.

That's pretty much how it is. It's a fucking opinion, everyone has one, you don't need to learn about it. You'd need training to write a decent article if you want to be famous though. If you're going to ignore people's opinions that have no technical clue, then you're ignoring 98 to 99% of your possible audience, i.e. the world. Those people are anonymous, and give you no constructive feedback, and even if they do, that feedback probably will not reach you.
Welcome to the real world, you'd better learn to accept opinions and learn from then.

>>239475
its different when your in an environment like 4chan this isnt the real world. do you listen to every single person that insults you and take it to heart?
people dont come here so that they can get dumb fucks who know nothing to give there opinion at least not solely, they come for people who know something to give constructive criticism.
before you say something and call me naive again i know thats not how it happens but people do come here for that.

This is such a generic it could almost be copy/pasta.
Which basically almost makes your comment pointless. If you were more specific then it could be more helpful and you'd sound more believable.
Even if you do evaluate photos right now you sound like you're full of shit.

So elaborate or gtfo.
