Arkansas.
Fucking fantastic shots, love them.
[QUOTE=MisterTickles;24674078]Hey guys, take a fucking breather.
Some people appreciate keeping their photos theirs with no risk of them being stolen. Maybe you think his images are shit, he thinks they're great and doesn't want even the slightest risk of them being stolen or reused. He doesn't want to share them and he doesn't have to. Take a chill pill, if you don't like it, don't look at them.[/QUOTE]
What are you on about? If I don't like em I shouldn't look at them? Fuck, I hate that statement.
He posted here to get critique.
Yes. If the watermarks bother you, don't take the time to contemplate his pictures. Whining about watermarks won't affect him just as much.
He posted to get critique, and people constantly bashing others who post here because they put watermarks on their images is really really silly in my opinion. It isn't critique.
Even moreso when his watermark actually has some artistic value.
Aight, I understand what you mean, just though it was a 'no negative comments or get out!' statement
His watermark had no artistic value. It had to be told, by that big of an amount people? Well, that's because they're so big you look at them instead of the pictures.

Agreed, my watermark doesn't have any artistic value lol, I whipped it up in Illustrator and turned it into a photoshop brush. It's just my name with a pre-stylized line running through it.
I'm fine with negative criticism, but 20 posts later I already get the point about my watermarks. Lesson learned.
Oh, so is anyone going to say anything about any of my pictures :P?
Dull and annoying watermarks
I mean who would want to steal them?

Wut?
Watermarks doesn't belong on your photographs unless you are an über hyped professional photographer who's photographs are in danger of being stolen. Damn my english isn't good.

Don't tell me to stop using black and white. It's our class assignment and I'm sticking with it for now. God my class is dumb. I overheard a girl telling another girl she thought we were supposed to be taking pictures of black and white things instead of shooting in black and white.
They are good looking shots, but its all lacking interesting subjecture.
Leaves and a pile of logs show nothing I have not seen before. To be frank, these pictures will not last more than a few hours in my mind.
You need an interesting subject man, or at least some way to make your current subjects look interesting. They're extremely cliche.

I see what you mean. All of these are out of my back yard, they're just things. It's a school assignment, and I'm trying to focus on making the picture as good as it can be right now with what I find in my yard. They're not my favorites but I'm really just getting a good understanding of dark and light values and the way they affect one another. I appreciate your words, and I'll try to find more interesting subject matter.
I was really inspired after viewing some Ansel Adams pieces in class so I've been doing lots of simple nature shots.
Yeah its not necessarily the subjects themselves, but the way they are presented. Ansel Adams mastered aesthetically pleasing composition, your shots rely almost entirely on the shallow depth of field to make them 'artistic'. Ansel Adams didn't use the macro crutch many young photographers lean on today, his shots are relatively wide angle, with deep depth of field. He didn't have to flip his camera upside down 3 inches away from a flower, he was able to 'paint' his composition with natural lines and shapes.
