Photography? Why not?

[Vanilla Iced Tea]

I'm not experienced in photography in any way. But I do enjoy taking a good picture. They're not really anything special. These were actually just ones that were sitting in a folder on my desktop. The truth of it is simply that I am bored.


This is my friend doing some sort of aerial maneuver on a skateboard.
I did some things to this in Photoshop.




These are sort of boring. I took them on campus.


This is also on campus.
I did some things to this in Photoshop.


This is a picture of a show my friends played at a pretty small place.


This is a music store.
I did some things to this in Photoshop.


This is a child playing a piano.

I like the third one and the piano ones the best.

The skateboarding one is also cool, but I would like to see an unphotoshoped version of it.

Photography is one of those things I always wished I was good at but really I'm terrible at it.

I do, however, play a mean game of Pokemon Snap.

You might want to leave kooky Photoshop effects out of it.

Nice pictures.

I have always wanted to take up photography as a leisure activity.

In reality, I only use effects on pictures that are screwy in some way. It's usually because I don't like the lighting.

Pictures, hooray.

Only thing about using Photoshop filters; people know you're using Photoshop filters. And to say the least, it's not impressive. If you don't like the photo by itself, don't bother 'touching it up' in Photoshop, just toss it.

I do like the two black and white ones of your campus though, simple but effective.

Re: Photography? Why not?

It doesn't have anything to do with trying to impress people with my mad Photoshop skillz. If I think it looks better after I've touched it up, then I'll do it. If people don't agree that it looks better... Oh, well.

EDIT: Here are some more things.


Same jump as above. Except it's on the other side of the stairs.


I think this is an ashtray for midgets.


This dog was trying to eat me.


Things hang from the ceiling in the building in which I work.



More around campus.


Ducks?

Re: Photography? Why not?

That new batch is terrific. I liked the other ones as well, but I agree that the added effects kinda detract from them a little.

The stuff around your campus is what appeals to me the most. I find that sort of setting to be very strange and often creepy when it's completely vacant.

Re: Photography? Why not?

The only one I actually used a filter on was that first one. The other two (campus shot and music store) just had a reduced number of colors.

I like going to campus late at night to take pictures when no one else around. Most other people I know seem pretty bored by those pictures though. I do not know why this is.

I love the 3rd pic, very nice. I love taking pics w/ my digi cam. I also am pretty studly now at photoshop, just sorta kept getting better w/ it. Here's one of my bro and his gf I edited obviously:

I like how her boobs also make you look through the guy.

Haha, well I was really too lazy to recreate my bro's arm and stuff. Here's basically what I did:

Cut around April, Copied, deleted, and pasted into new layer. Made layer 50% transparent. Then I used the stamp tool to recreate her background. I did this a long time ago too so it's not my best work. To be fair I did one the opposite way
