Ill keep this short since ive got just a few minutes, Im in Europe, i cant begin explain how great this place is, i'll detail that in a future post. Basically im traveling through England, Brussels, Amsterdamn, and France for the next month.

Ive been unable to answer a single message for the last week, but so you all know, ill try to answer back to everyone, for now consider this a post thanking you all for the favs, watches, messages and features. You all rock

soo i just uploaded my first person shot, i'll be doing much more of people shots this summer as i have decided that i want to try this type of photography too. Don't worry though i'll still be shooting everything else too.

I'd love to hear all your opinions on this shot, what do you all think of it ? Say what you want, i just want to get better, as long as the criticism isnt "this sucks" without some sort of advice then feel free to comment.


Please Full View, her face looks weird in the mini preview

Below are some of the photos that inspire me to take up people photography, you just cant capture such intense emotions any other way.












Also i'd like to thank Rykardo for featuring me in his recent news article, check it out it's the perfect dose of inspiration [link]

Dear readers, IM BACK! need i say anymore

I managed to make it a full week without checking the illustrious deviantart even once, this is probably the closest i'll ever feel to actual withdrawals. I opened my inbox to a few hundred messages so i'll be answering you all over the next few days, it's nice to see some of you still drop by my page.


Furthermore, i'd like to especially thank for recently featuring one of my pieces (golden skies [link] ) in his journal. I'm a huge fan of his work, so rad-ix, if you reading this, it made my day to open my inbox and see like 30 new favs becuase of you, thanks!

im going out of town tomorrow, no checking deviantart for entire week. It's a much needed break anyways, i think i've gotten to addicted to refreshing my messages

While i'm long gone, feast upon some of my recent photos, if you have time please take a look and feel free to comment!

Thanks everyone, and especially all my watchers

Please open this in full journal mode, it renders wrong if just viewed in my sidebar


Lately ive been scouring deviantart for some highly inspiring works of art. In light of getting a 40D, ive decided to understand photography, these featured works of inspiration all have a certain element i find fascinating. By glance you just think wow these are incredible, but ask yourself why are they incredible, ive begun to notice little photographic tricks by these artists that turn their works into masterpieces


Take foureyes

This photo is amazing (along with all his others), but imagine if that piece of clothing wasn't covering the sun, the photo would be over exposed and intense clipping of the highlights would occur, it's these little tricks amateur photographers don't take into consideration.


Another visual pleasing element seems to be color gradation and complimenting colors
Take my-shots and commander Dex

What makes these shots amazing is the color contrast between the sky and the foreground, if my-shots shot was pure orange, a certain feeling/meaning would be lost, likewise commander dex's color gradation just makes me happy, it's not oversaturated but deep and powerful, plus orange and green compliment very well, a blue and green wouldn't have worked as effectively in this shot.


Last one i'm going to explain, he's hougaard, if you haven't heard of him yet, you soon will, he's pretty new to deviantart, like me, but infinitely more popular. He's one of the best and i'm sure everyone on deviantart will soon know about his work. He's definitely someone you must watch and fav

Heres two of my favorites for two different reasons


Fav #1 keeps it in reality, it's possible to imagine this shot without the behind the scenes work of photoshop, yet this is still an amazing shot. It might looks easy at first, but look closely at how the clouds stretch across the whole picture, it feels like their pulling you right into the far right, into the center of the clouds, im sure this is no accident by hougaard. I also love the greenish blue of the water and the unique architecture, but i can go forever about this.

The other shot fav #2, isn't exactly based in reality, it seems to be an extension of what he imagined the shot should be, and proceeded to create that mental picture using photoshop and filters.






Anyways, enough explaining and enjoy these next amazing works, try to find why their such great photos







Hopefully you all enjoy my selection, i highly recommend watching every single one of these deviants, your work will get better just by looking at all their photography

-------------------

PS: ill probably be doing some more of these in the future, i'd like you to know if you all find this interesting, would you all like to see more of these, types of posts?
