Your pictures are bad. They're unsubstantial, they're boring and they're [I]badly[/I] done. This shtick is really getting old. I know this is thread for everyone, but you've been taking the piss for like 3 months now.

[Roll_Program]

It's not the pictures but it's how he dumps old pictures without much in them other than nostalgia for the photographer then leaves until the next dump without any interaction with the community.

I'm not saying stop, but maybe take some crit and try new things? Everyone likes different styles and if you love your pictures looking like they do, then keep doing it, but experiment a little with your style.

[lazy-E]

couple more from today. sorry for so many images!

i don't think your pictures are bad dr, hooves
but i don't really understand why you're posting them here
because they clearly have meaning to you, but you're not trying to spread that meaning to anyone else
so why do you post them here?

i don't really care if you continue or stop, it doesn't affect me at all,
i am curious

[PenguinKris]

Just a walk along the beach with my gf. Went to this particular beach a handful of times this summer.
There are a bunch of small caves as you walk along the beach too.
I'm also still really liking this 17-50 i got.

They're good but I think the contrast could be toned down slightly in my opinion, its teetering on going beyond looking extra sharp.

[codenamecueball]

yeah, i'd vote for less post grain, think it would look better a bit cleaner esp. cos the grain lives in the highlights

[.Lain]

that grain pattern looks particularly like static noise in the midtones, really noticeable in the last picture especially

It's been too long guys! I just got back from Seattle visiting a TF2 friend I known for 6 years for like a week and a half and I took a ton of photos and I'm finally home and edit all of them. This is what I have for now but I'll be posting a lot more in the following days again. cc is appreciated as always!

[chinatown]

I dont own a camera better than a point'n'shoot, so a friend of mine let me use his camera while we were in Budapest for a couple of days. I also don't have all that much experience in photography but I was just starting to shoot in Manual. Maybe because I want to look professional, or maybe because I can get more control over certain occasions, but it was generally fun to find the right settings for each situation so I guess thats enough reason.

So here's some shots, Im collecting them for a university project that I have ot hand in a couple of days so criticism is welcome.

You don't own this forum, if you don't like dr hooves's photos then scroll down or leave. The exact same could be said for your photos, how would that make you feel? The post specifically mentioned these photos were from 2012 and I can see clear improvement in dr hooves's photography since then. Show some maturity and be constructive.
