This thread is part of a series of similar threads, all of which are meant to be a safe haven for all artists, nomatter if you're unsure of your ability and don't want to make a thread, are lazy and don't want to make a thread, or tend to get yelled at when you make a thread but feel like your work needs to be posted anyways.
Previous Thread List:
Creative Photography That Doesn't Deserve a Thread [v1.0]
The other threads are:
- Creative Work That Doesn't Deserve A Thread V5 <Dongery Penis Edition>
-- for drawing, photoshopping random stuff, scans of paintings, or unsteady cellphone cam shots of the tattoo you drew on your arm with a ballpoint pen.
- Creative Drawings that Don't Deserve a Thread
-- Same concept, but for MS Paint only. Don't shitpost.

Is there any criteria as to what I can post?
Your job here is to post pictures you're proud of, so long as they come from some sort of camera. This isn't a dumping ground for a batch of stuff from that party you got drunk at last night, posts still require some form of artistic integrity. If it's related to the discussion at hand, maybe, but, whatever. nobody wants to see fifty people they don't know holding three beers each and having trouble looking at the camera with both eyes.
WHY should I post here, and not make a new thread (or not post anything and cry in a corner)?
As opposed to individual threads, this thread is much more conducive to getting people talking back and forth about techniques and equipment, since derailing the conversation is kind of the point. Also, If you only have one picture to show, it's better not to make a whole thread about it unless it's fucking awesome.
:siren:RATINGS AND CRITIQUES HEAVILY ENCOURAGED:siren:
There's nothing like thinking your pic isn't worth posting, then finding out everyone loved it. Keep critiques friendly, but don't spare the details. If someone really messed up, tell them how you think it can be fixed, instead of bitching them out for not knowing something that you know/wish you knew and pretend you do.

Hey guys,
I guess I'll just do a repost from the last thread to start off with.
Just a few candid snaps of my friends here at Uni.
I love photographing people and think I'm getting better at it.

Just repost from end of last thread
-
I took this on a school trip. I think they turned out pretty well. What do you think?
-
May need to enlarge the aperture for this one.
Fresh, no reposts from last thread. Encouraging criticism please.

Some of my work that i'm kind of proud of, quite large images, but not excessively large. The newest ones are at the top, with the oldest at the bottom of the post. Photography is the only thing I can really see myself doing as a career, so i'm trying hard to improve my work.
Hope you liked them, they were all taken in either London or Brighton between June 2009 and May 2010 (Of course, i've taken others since then, they're just not in this post)
-
Here are some of mine.
Edited:
This is with my new Rebel EOS dslr

Reposting because it was on the last page of the previous thread.
I got this camera a week ago
I'm new to photographing.

All of those are post-processed far too much for my liking.Some of my work that i'm kind of proud of, quite large images, but not excessively large.

You're doing well though - some good, somewhat interesting content. Framing and stuff isn't too bad either.
From what I've seen above, photographing strangers. It takes a lot of courage. Keep practicing!
Keep working at it, and maybe slow down with processing your photos.
The time you spend doing that could be far better spent actually getting out and taking photos and becoming more confident with the camera.

Thanks for the tip, I do have a lot of other photos that I haven't done so much to in post, but they just didn't make it up here. With my more recent photography I have been trying to keep post processing to basic colour correction and stuff, and obviously with my darkroom work it's hard to do any post processing beyond leaving it in the developer for different amounts of time. Here are one or two images with minimal post done to them (The B&W one was just a desaturate and slight contrast adjustment)
-
Sweet.

I got a very similar shot to youThanks for the tip, I do have a lot of other photos that I haven't done so much to in post, but they just didn't make it up here.

Few photos from a school trip to London:
Sorry that a few seem a bit Facebookey. More on my flickr if you want.

http://snipurl.com/xa8s0 <- big picture!
caught this plane flying up there in the sky with my camera :D
-
That's nice and all, but why the watermark?

-
What kind of lens do you have? Really interesting DOF on those, while still being pretty wide angle.
Edited:
1, 2 and 3 are nice. Others are lacking subject matter IMO
Edited:
D'aw, cute. Nice lighting

Really like the composure and lighting on all of these (Especially the one in the field)Hey guys,

Except the last one.
-
Probably the best leaf photo i've ever seen.
-
Many thanks.

I took this last week with my dinky point and shoot. I'd have to say it turned out well, considering I did no editing of any kind.
Edited:
Forgot to post a warning for the huge ass image size. Click and be bombarded by pink.
-
Cool, they've taken a load of metal out the water since I took my one though, they're building that i360 thing there now.I got a very similar shot to you
-
I've been on a cross-Europe roadtrip for the past few weeks. Monaco was a few days ago.
Chilling in London right now (drove up through Switzerland and France). Any tips on stuff to do?

Loving the way every picture is clean and errm you could go to the london dungeon or the london eye or something?I've been on a cross-Europe roadtrip for the past few weeks. Monaco was a few days ago.

30mm f/1.4 Sigma. A 50mm f/1.4 nikon in some of them.
-
Yeah I'm definitively going to go to the London Eye. As far as everything else I suppose I'll just roam about London finding interesting things to do.
Some comments on your image, I like the post processing (color-wise), but I'm not feeling the overall theme. The pictures seem pretty unrelated and don't fit together. I still really like the flow of the car one and think it is the strongest of the bunch.
-
Get some good shots up there
and i get what you mean, i called the image 'home', mostly because it was sights i see everyday, they are all pretty much shots i've taken a hundred times and i was experimenting with post processing on them. But i'll take your advice too
-
Hot damn, new thread!
-
I only have a few from when I went to my uncles funeral last year.
All images are 24" x 36", but they got slimmed down by deviant art.

Im pretty new to photography
any tips?

from a recent adventure...
glow worms are awesome
-
Some slightly older ones, not sure if I posted some them or not. Though the Snow may be a repeat, it seems to be a favorite. Seeing as how it's a new thread I might as well put something on page one

walk around the city of London, walk along the thames from southwark to tower bridge, you'll see the mayor's office and stuff. Also go on the Jubilee line from waterloo to canary wharf, the architecture is absolutely stunning, especially canary wharf tube station. Look around canary wharf as well. (obviously you don't have time for all of these things they're just suggestions)

Canon's looking to change the way you take HDR pictures. Previously, in order to capture images like these, you'd have to combine photos in post. With a new patent, the process will be done in-camera, at the pixel level.
High Dynamic Range pictures are taken by capturing the same subject at varying exposure levels and then combining those images in photo editing software. The idea is to create something that's more detailed and potentially more representative of what your eye can see. You can see what HDR photos look like in one of our Shooting Challenges.
Canon's new patent wants to turn that sort of complicated process all in-camera. The way it works:
Other cameras, like the Sony A550 and A500, are capable of doing in-camera HDR but they're more of a quick chop method. Mapping out the exposure level by the pixel is far more detailed and if done correctly, has huge implications. HDR has its fair share of fans and haters but Canon's patent would give Canon cameras the ability to capture a much wider dynamic range in a single image and a stand out feature in the ever evolving camera wars. [PhotographyBay]According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, preliminary image capturing is performed using the image capturing unit, and the exposure time is assigned to each pixel based on the result of the preliminary image capturing. Image capturing can thus be performed with a wide dynamic range without a loss of highlight detail and a loss of shadow detail.

Strangely enough, I was just thinking earlier this morning about how cool it would be to be able to take more HDR-esque pictures with a camera, and then started thinking about how it would work. This kind of summed it up.
However, I have mixed feelings now that I've seen a proof-of-concept. Auto-HDR is convenient, but I feel HDR pictures should require tweaking by the photographer in post-production anyways to achieve the most aesthetic result, or at least a result to befit the artist's style.
Plus, it puts HDR in the hands of a lot of people who really don't understand HDR. I can't wait for the metric shit-ton of myspace pictures taken with the cheaper commercially available cameras with this technology.

...and isn't everything done "at the pixel level" with digital processing? :raise:

Ah, that makes sense. Looking back on it I suppose I didn't see it well. Still Post Processing was really nice, and did like the crops you got on each image.Get some good shots up there and i get what you mean, i called the image 'home', mostly because it was sights i see everyday, they are all pretty much shots i've taken a hundred times and i was experimenting with post processing on them. But i'll take your advice too
Haha, it's awesome because I'm actually a few streets away from the Canary Wharf station. The Jubilee Line is so nice, Waterloo-Canary Wharf is the best section of The Underground. I'd recommend anyone staying in London at least ride the this portion once (it's amazing).
Took a ton of pictures today, I'll be uploading some more later.

That's pretty cool, didn't know it was that advanced.

Oh and expect a flood of photos from me once I get my hands on the 500D.
