[QUOTE=Biscuit-Boy;37716521]Any editing? [/jokes][/QUOTE]
Not that much the only thing thats edited is the static for my college project ive hollowed out five tv's
can someone tl;dr [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/photoit/comments/xfqcg/how_to_take_double_exposure_portraits/"]this[/URL]
i think my camera is capable of it i'm just not entirely sure what it's asking me to do
Steve i get quite an old feel from your shots, as if they were taken in like 1980 or something, nice job!
I've taken this for a abstract photography assignment, what do you guys think?

Love that avatar.
Shiz aight, Abstract right now is mostly small scale stuff - which doesn't do anything for me, but you [i]should[/i] make the grade.
Not bad, not new.

It's a PSU fan if you haven't guessed, but thanks! I've just got into photography, with a nice Pentax k100d
[QUOTE=bopie;37718190]I disagree that those are Jake Stangel-y, but yeah very good stuff nonetheless, just not that particular style. Jake uses heavy but bright, contrasting tones and harsh flat light. Jake's stuff doesn't have shallowDOF-dreaminess like Marley's, either.

Anyway yeah, we had to shoot our mentors and their office doors for our first assignment at Calarts.

I'm sorry but you fucked up both.
You could've been creative/goofy and just shoot the fingernail of your mentors and get two chairs and shoot the door from really high above.
Instead you just pointed and clicked. Boring.
Taken at the festival, like the other recent shots. Not too happy with the photo itself - I was pretty drunk when I took it at about 6.30 in the morning after a very heavy night, but god, what a sunrise with that moon setting.

That said, thank you for challenging it. You might not have liked it, but that got you to think about it. That alone gives it more value than some artsy fingernails and zany angles that you would have just scrolled past.

Try looking at the composition of the photos.
Ehy guys I'm still alive in case anybody remembers me!
I've been busy being lazy!
I've got a cheap road bike to get myself back in shape and I'm modifying it a bit (it was used and came with a MTB drivetrain... silly I know) so I thought about taking a picture before doing any work, while I was at it I had another go at light painting/composite images, so this is really a bunch of photos put together since I don't have 4/5 flashes!
Also it was raining so I took the photo inside where I don't really have a proper uncluttered space, I quite like how it came out all in all, I really enjoy playing with lights.

I'm just another kid who's parents bought them a Canon Rebel and thinks they're an edgy photographer.

I thought you'd figure out that these were just examplary and that I was not telling you to shoot fingernails. I kinda expected you to think ahead that far.
Also not long ago when I criticized your "I stare into bushes " pictures as kind of boring and bland and not with any message or meaning at all, you were obviously thinking(and saying) that you took them while thinking " ah this will look kinda neat", people (and you) were ganging me about how creativity stands for itself and a picture can also be just nice to look at. Well yours are not nice to look at at all and frankly look like it took 15 seconds to take the all together. (yes yes time says nothing about quality if you are good at what you do yadda yadda you know what mean)
And now you are telling me that creativity for its own sake is weak and self indulgent. I don't want to take this as true, after all I learned something in this thread, but if you insist then , judging by your own standards, I'd have to tell you that so are most of your pictures, especially "bopie in the woods #134 to #498 I lost count.
I also don't see how my inexperience with analogue pictures has anything to say about my judgement of composition, scene and setup except for the technological part and you didn't even do that right in the first shot having a blurred blob in your picture so thanks for that.
Now if you want to say that analogue is a lot harder to do since you have to account for light and exposure yourself while caring for focus and scene, no sensors to help you, congradulations you just learned what photographers have done for the last however-many-years-it-might-havebeen-since-photography-was-invented years.
I guess it's a point of opinion but "artsy" fingernails and "zany angles" would at least have shown that you were willing to put [I] some [/I] thought into your pictures, and you should have, since [quote]Creativity for creativity's sake is weak and self-indulgent.[/quote]
The pictures sure do not look like you did. Else you might have notices that out of focus blob and the every-day-angle.
I was in no way "challenging" it. There is no challenging. Unless saying "this is a rock" somehow challeges the rock in what it is, a rock.
But then again, maybe there is something about those pictures that makes them not "I snapped a pic of two people" and "I pointed my cam at the hallway", in wich case please forget the upper part of this post and explain yourself. You missed doin so in your post up there when you posted about me stating the obvious in such a belittleing manner.
Cheers.

I disagree with your philosophy of photography. It doesn't need a message or meaning. It just needs to look good. His shots are well framed and exposed.
I don't think a photograph is solely judged on how much effort it takes either. When I look at a picture, I don't even consider how much time it took the photographer to set it up. Some of the coolest shots on this forum have been snapped by people sitting on a moving bus. I don't get why you're criticizing his "snapshot" look if you are saying time doesn't matter. Besides I don't "think" when I take a picture. All the framing and such is done automatically. I think that's what being a photographer is all about. It's looking at a scene and instantly knowing how to shoot it. Sometimes it comes out wrong and you might try it again, but that also means little to no time is taken on the "creativity" aspect of shooting. All my photographs pretty much exclusively consist of "I think this will look neat" shots. I don't sit around all day constructing elaborate sets. I walk around, see something I think looks interesting, fire off a handful of pictures, and then I sort through them later. Sometimes it turns out sweet, but other times it doesn't work out.

I think the important thing to take out of my post is that a picture doesn't need to be of a fire-breathing dragon to be interesting. Sometimes mundane little life moments can look really nice. A photo Blaze posted on this page is another example of this idea. It's a simple shot of a barbeque. I doubt he spent more than a handful of seconds lining it up before shooting, but it still turned out to be a really neat shot. It wasn't anything extraordinary, and yet it still managed to look nice artistically. It wasn't anything more than a photographer with a good eye taking a snapshot.
(oh god forgive me if you spent a shit load of time setting that one up :v:)
just my 2c on the whole matter. At the end of the day it's all about whether or not I think a picture looks good based on an infinite number of vague criteria. Bopie's first shot looks really neat.
[QUOTE=Killuah;37730942]It's bad in the first one and boring in the second one I really don't know what you are getting at but then again maybe I' missing something here please explain.[/QUOTE]
I think what you're missing is what has been left [i]out[/i] of the frame. In these photos, there is a tight feel to both subjects, as if they are closed off to you - but only a little bit. For me, this leaves my eye to search the frame for more, trying to figure out the story behind it and leaving it partially up to me to figure out what's going on. Don't get caught up in thinking you have to be very literal with how you present creativity and so on, it's an ancient and immature photographic mindset.
messing around with raw processing on my nex, because it's so new to me. went for a lighter toned image, away from the usually saturated and exaggerated images i normally take. trying to make more use of my 16mm lens with my UWA 0.75x converter as i don't use them much.
