Art Photography [Image Heavy]

[Claire]

[FONT=Arial]I was taking photography at school, but I'm switching to a school that doesn't offer the course. I managed to learn a few nifty things I can do with a camera, though. I took a few cool-looking pictures, so I decided to post them. They may not be very good picture wise, but remember that I did all of them with a regular digital camera, and I didn't edit any of them.

Some tricks with lamps and glowing screens:

Some "ghosts" around my house:

It's not very hard to take pictures like this, but it is a little tricky to make them look the way you want them to. What I did in the "ghost" pictures was change the shutter speed to five or more seconds, set the camera down somewhere, press the shutter button, and move in an out of the field of the camera's view. I did the same for the light pictures, but instead I aimed at a TV and shook the camera everywhere.

This thread shouldn't be restricted to just my pictures, or just special effects pictures like mine. If you're a photographer, feel free to share your work.[/FONT]

[SIZE=1]Those are some nifty tricks you've picked up. I especially like the effect with the lights. It sucks you can't carry on with doing Photography as a course, though.

I like taking pictures of nature, mainly the sky, but my mum's garden is full of fun things to take pictures of, too.

^I tweaked the brightness/contrast on this a little to make it better. *slaps wrist*

I'm fascinated by close up shots, so I messed around with the macro settings on my digital camera. I spent about half an hour with these poor ants.

[size=1]First of all, nice photography I'm seeing here. Second of all, holy crap it took me forever to compile these shots and resize and upload. I'll probably post more tomorrow, but right now I need to crash.

I love distorted light photos. Your pictures are really nice - I love sky shots and city scapes, and NYC is my favorite place in the world (regardless that I've never been there). I just wish I could manage to take a really good light photo like that.

I don't really have anything new, but I'm trying to find some nice photos I've taken in the past.

This was in biology on after the final exam. Nothing special.

I really love taking candid pictures; while they may not always come out the best, they always look better than posed pictures. It's especially great if I get the subject making a weird face. I'd give an example, but I don't know if my friends would mind me posting them here.[/FONT]

[size=1]You know, I really like this one.

You have PaintShopPro/PhotoShop, no? Well, I do think this might look better sepia or *Cough* greyscale.

Just because it looks sort of... Dunno. Maybe lonely? And instrument lying there, alone, noone to play it.

And Gray = Sad.

Generally.

So meh. Maybe I'm just insane.

But I must say, I am quite impressed with the pictures I see here.

I use people and animals as my main focus, so it's difficult to post them places. My brother doesn't appreciate me posting pictures of him on the internet. Heh.
