what the fuck ,dude.

I like it. Could use some WB fixing but otherwise, I like this shot at least.

Also, never care what others say about your work if you enjoy it. Take constructive criticism into consideration perhaps, but ignore unjustified "this sucks" comments.

If people cant justify or explain an opinion, one might as well ignore it.

Fuck your teacher (take it how you want it)
Tree frogs are awesome. Have ahigher res of the pic?
>> Chib

I don't have a problem with this pic.

However, "P stands for Professional, lol" isn't the case. Try shooting in manual more.

Seconded, except I still dont know if I got flunked or not (yet)... and except this teacher has nothing to teach me but how to be a royal asshole.

Post more so we can get a better sense of your ability.
And any art teacher is stuck with trying to apply standards to creativity. Just take what you can from it.

with mine, she just hated everything i loved, and i fukken hated everything she liked! what killed me was that her photos sucked (and I do mean sucked). So i just finished the class, moved on, and did my own thing. It worked out quite well :-)

i know there not great but she diddont have to be so blunt as to say they sucked >.>

Ahh.. been there, kinda.. Except I'm not studying photo, I'm studying industrial design, so work usually involves actually building crap, some of it very very very time consuming...

This other one I had in mind first, though, has this 'rule' where you're not allowed to do anything for your project unless she authorizes the sketch...and the model... and the 3d rendering and... Yeah, she can lag you if she feels like it, cause it's 100% reliant on her own taste and preferences. Guess it's what sucks about subjective professions.

Nah, just kinda need a bit more practice. I kinda liked the crab too, but I think composition could have been a little better.

Tip: dont cram the little guy all the way against the frame border.

Is it a beginner class? Cause both of these are definitely a good start.

Well that's even cooler. Your teacher can sit on a dick. Good samples!

Froggy one has pretty nice composition, colour and WB off but nothing you shouldn't be able to fix in Photoshop. Crab one is blatant rip off of Prodigy's Fat of the Land album cover and their record company goons are probably en route to your house. But nice anyway- needs some light Photoshopping as well. Very good for first efforts!

Don't listen to this man, art colleges have generally pretty good marking systems that aren't totally reliant on teacher's taste.

Actually, don't pay much attention to anyone who says that you can't judge art. Relativism is ever the last defence of the talentless.

In that case you are fucked, high school art teachers are all tremendous failures and are terrible at all forms of art. And they also have worst taste than most NFL players. But high school is a good place to develop your bullshitting and justification skills!

Oh fuck yes. After three years of high school art I could bullshit a piece of brown construction paper into the new standard by which all other students' projects were judged.. when the assignment was to take a picture of a flower.

Moral of the story: Keep it up OP, just ignore your teacher or learn to BS until she thinks everything you do is gold.

post more, we can't really tell the extent of your skill from two photos that could have been flukes.

You're reading too much into my statement. I've had art classes I liked, but even regular classes get broken by a shitty instructor. The problem seems to be when they try to enforce their own style, rather than grading based on technical details and technique.
>> h0z !1Ludp8tyms
yeh i agree with a few people if its something you enjoy doing.. what does it matter if others (like your teacher thats prolly just following what the board of education sets for her) like it?

my photos are probably really bad and i do get the ocassional helpful hint on here you just gota look past all the trolls that have no idea except "shit sucks",

im doing this for a hobby because i like anything artistic..

if you have a decent reason for doing it. or you just want to learn more about it.. then stick to it and keep going.. after all i think your photos are pretty decent.. :)

ITT /P/ IS ALL WARM AND FUZZY!

But like actually, keep going with the shootery.
Both of these pictures are kinda simple shots of animals doing there thing. I mean, nice and all, but do you have examples of some other stuff you've shot?
