Need some critics to take a look
    #4864069 - 10/28/05 04:05 PM (18 years, 3 months ago)

I'm hopeing there's some good art critics out there who can help me out. I've been getting into photography lately and I think I might even take it up as a full time hobby outside work, and if I'm lucky make a little money on the side with it. But before that I have a lot of learning to do so please let me know what you think (even if you hate it) :wink:

I've kept them all links to save bandwidth on the forums.

A group of small yellow mushrooms growing on a rotting log.

Ghost Falls

One of my favorites. This one was taken at 2 am in complete darkness, exposure time of 20 minutes made the moonlight build up on the negative and caused the stars to swirl like they do.

Sarrail Falls. Exposure time was around 5 seconds, some spots are just a little too bright for my liking but I like it anyway.

The Doorway

And a couple other pieces of "art":

Beats me. I drew this one in Photoshop during a mushroom trip, I have no idea what it is, I just started drawing and this is what came out.

Mush Wallpaper

BSG Vipers on patrol. (from the only sci-fi show worth watching these days if you ask me)

Like I said, I only dabble :wink: There's something oddly therapeutic about just drawing something while you're tripping though, maybe not on a full blown trip but even after smoking a bowl or two just drawing whatever comes into your mind and listening to some good music is an adventure in itself. As for the photography, well I like to trip in nature and I usually take my camera along for the ride :wink:

Comments are welcome and very much appreciated =)

Well I'm no "serious art critic" but I don't have to be one to say I like your work. I've wanted to get into photography myself for awhile.

That third one is really cool. Did the stars blur because the earth was rotating?

I love that night-time exposure with the swirling stars.  Good job! :thumbup:

Yeah I think so, though I had no idea they would center around the tip of the tree like they did that was a nice little surprise :wink:

Night photography is definatly my favorite, you can get some really cool effects with just moonlight and long exposures. I opted for a good old Pentax K1000 film camera just for this, since digitals can't do long exposure shots =( The thing is a tank though, it's 20 years old, been dropped in streams and what not but still keeps on trucking.

Thanks for the comments guys, very encouraging to hear some positive feedback :smile:

Oh, and some of you might remember my Trips In Pictures post a while ago, I'll be doing another one of those very shortly. My little babies are almost ready =))

That is definitely good enough for someone to pay you a handsome sum of money.

nice scenic photography.

really, youve got a good eye. however, making a steady amount of money through photography can be harder than some people may think. just do it for the love of it! and if you can make a few bucks in the process then hallelujah. that's how i look at it anyway.

what kinda film do you usually shoot?



{Peace}
