I thought that there just wasn't enough photo art on this site so I dicided to put one on. This one is from around my high school and my assignment was to make it black and white which made the graffiti stand out way more... Hope you enjoy~!

Interesting style. You might want to fiddle around with the contrast, though. It seems a bit harsh. Other than that, I haven't seen a topic like this here before. Good photo.

I wanted it to be a little harsher and darker near the garbage can ^^ thanks for the compliment... I would have written more about it but my teacher was snooping around our computers and we could get in deep trouble for being on the internet with out permission. If you have any photos I'd love for them to be shared :3

No problem. I was also thinking of taking photography as a hobby. Here's one I took back in March when I was in Germany.



It's a very busy picture--loking at it agitates me. I liked the contrast of the shadows and the sunlight, but it's lacking something. I can't quite figure out what.

It needs some sort of focus point in it, other wise you have no idea where to look, I suggest making a layer mask of the back ground and forgrounds and then bluring the back ground so that it has a little more dimension to it.
Anyways... We had a surprise! And it's Snow! The first snowfall (real good one) in my city~! Hope you like this one too!

Ah, thank you for that. That's the most important rule in artistic photography, if I'm not mistaken, and I totally missed it.

That snowfall picture is pretty decent too. I like it better than the first one.

Jack, that's a beautiful photograph. Can I ask you what camera both you and Snow_fox use?

in fact, for that one i used a little peice of crap. a 'DXG' something or other; it was only $100, but it's horrible in dark places. actually, it's just plain horrible
