Why do you feel the need to title them? It's kind of embarrassing, man. |

I like sea of fur... it's cool to find little bits of art in everyday things, like cat fur. :) |

actually I liked more than just that one, but that one in particular stood out to me. |

I'd wager 99% of deviantart is filled with pictures exactly like yours, and trying to make them stand out by tacking on a "proverbial" here and a "mystic" there isn't going to work. It makes you look silly. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with taking time to find a style, my photos are every bit as nothing-y, but it is just fucking pretentious titling this kind of... stuff. I'm not trying to be any more of a dick than usual, it's honest advice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no it's not honest advice it's just you being a prick |
||||||||

thanks. I'm quite fond of that one too |

I like The End. Titles on photographs does come across a little self important though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm glad you like that one just one thing: so we shouldn't name tracks or paintings then? it's just a way of identifying a photo. these aren't just casual snaps. i'm serious about my photography. thanks for your comment even though I don't entirely agree |
||||||||

Theres no real reason but when i clicked on one and saw 'proverbial eye' I just thought WTF a little bit, it took something away from it. I mean they are good photos and all but the titles are a bit melodramatic. I guess Im fine with naming photos to identify them but if there was a realist painting of an eye called Proverbial Eye i'd feel the same way. |
||||||||

|
|
ok, so you don't like the name, fair enough. what name would you prefer? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
surely if it was just for identification you could just say what is on the picture, for example - "eye". you choose to do more than just that which implies that there's some kind of meaning or thought behind your pictures, as if there's supposed to be some deeper layer. the title becomes a guiding force, where as normally you'd expect the image or content to be able to speak for itself. and seeing as they're still "just" pictures makes the titles dangerously close to pretentious. the art of these pictures doesn't lie in hidden meaning (I think), but in choice of subject, or composition, or colouring, etc. |
||||||||

|
also try to learn to take criticism more lightly - you snapped at belb while wasn't even being mean in his wording. I mean, if you do take your photography serious and you thought that was bad you're in for a world full of hurt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i name a lot of my photogrpahy too... i guess i'm "pretentious". oh well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
none of the names imply anything other than what they obviously appear to be. take "mystic tree" for example. I named it that because to me it looked mystical. the photo "sky veins" looked like a sky of veins. I'm not trying to be fancy or pretentious. i think you seem to have got the wrong idea about my thought process. belb got snapped at for being pinickity and presumptuous. |

Did the eye look particularly proverbial that day? |

"proverbial adj Definition: conventional, traditional" put that in your pipe and smoke it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, wriggle all you like, you know you're talking bollocks :) so you thought you'd take a picture of your friend's eye because it looked so conventional/traditional that it was interesting enough to photograph? what |
||||||||

hush now |

thanks for checking them out, it's greatly appreciated |

My grandad names all his photographs and he's not a photogrpaher,he names them things that are easily registerd like 'mikigardenbw' or ''squirrelfence'' which would be my cousin michaela in the garden in black and white,or a squirrel on a fence..so i can see your thought process... BUT Sort of like captions on still life/profile pictures ,and such...it can be viewed as pretencious...l see this point also ,because you are dramatising something so simple..it's the simplicity that should dramatise the photo. but then again,you could only be trying to put an emphasis on something...maybe something you feell others would miss. i dunno...they're just captions...words..words are just words. they mean something differant to each of us. -A- |

|
P.s I really like you're photographs by the way,they're very good..i also like to take pictures of stark tree's and sky..It's a lovely view. -A- |

thanks for your opinion. i do love trees too |

don't you have to title your photos on deviant art anyways? |
||||||||
|
|

i havent bothered to read much of this thread. what i will say is naming the pictures takes away some of the mystery from them. you look at a picture, and you interpret it in your own way, and think your own thoughts, which is what makes it intertesting. by labelling it, you are putting a certain direction on it. i dont know. there is a picture of an egg, say. then you call the picture 'hard boiled egg' if you didnt name the piece 'hard boiled egg' nobody would have known that the egg was hard boiled. it is a rubbish example but do you understand? |
