Planesy's noob photography corner

[Planeswalker]

Photography isnt a huge hobby of mine...meaning its not something I really try to get better at. I just take my crappy digicam and snap.

I classify myself as a people photographer. If the picture doesnt have people in it then I usually find it boring. So I take interesting pictures of friends of mine in cosplay and get some cool results.

My favourite so far:

I just love this...I dont know how I got such a good shot. The background is just too perfect. It also refelects on the personalities of the characters rather well.

Heh... and those were just snap shots!?
All your photos tell a story ... and I think they're all great.
I like the last photo best, the 'scene' you chose work really well. :)

Thats because people in themselves tell a story. Another reason I like having them in photos. Its incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to get a story out of an object. People make you think and use your imagination more.

I think what makes the pictures good is just the people themselves, not my photography of them. Like you said...those are really just snap shots from a common camera.

Nice pics! Nothing wrong with them and you only just started. I already commented at DA XD

[mori]

you should take more photos :3

I think I like "The Darkness Within the Light" most, the contrast really lends itself to the character you are portraying. Its almost statuesque and the gothic type architecture on what looks possibly like an old church or cathedral behind you gives it a nice feel ^_^

a few suggestions for the other 2 emo series ones

"Emo Photography Fun With Roxas" - the emptiness around the subject is really nice and gives a solitary feel but I think it could have benefitted by having a contrast closer to "TDWTL" to give it a bit more impact.

"The Lonely Emo" - its a nice shot, nicely framed and a nice background setting, but I might have suggested opting for a black and white approach as the bright orange is a bit of a warm colour for the theme.

on the whole nice work and I hope you post some more up :3

I already commented on DA but I think your doing good with your photos!You have a good eye for composition which is really important.:)

[Planeswalker]

Haha Mori thats the stuff I really dont think about ^^. Using effects and adjusting stuff doesnt quite register with me. I dont have a knack for that sort of stuff xD.
