I've tried to get a little better at photography. Out of
305 pictures today. Here are just a few. Some grafitti (for
Hanal). :)

Train one
Scene-Sien5
Unintelligible
In a railcar

I have some more decent ones, but not the time to
crop/upload them. Notice I didn't add any stupid effects
like in the past. I've figured out how to use this
clunky camera, somewhat effectively.

Thanks for stopping by.

Nice, I always enjoy your photography. It's really good.
Keep at it.

Ah, thanks. I think these turned out nicely. I'll post more
later.

Please do. The first one will be a great desktop-pic

There are going to be close to 100. Should I make a basic
web page archive for you all to browse?

Cool will do now. I took 305 total today. In 3 hours. :( Too
much.

No website making programs installed, so here's a ZIP file.
Maybe not 100 pictures, but I eliminated many.
Enjoy!

It's fun to "VIEW AS SLIDESHOW". I accidentally put one
image on twice, sorry. It's a grafitti image.

Hey, Jon!

I answered your email. Love 'house2' and many others.
Whatever you do, don't sell that camera. The colours you're
getting from it look awesome. The only bothering thing
really is the low resolution, it really shows in those
photos.

I hope you get a website going for those railroad photos.
Looking forward to more.

/Jonne

That's what I get for using a 1.2 Megapixel camera.

Scroll down for a ZIP file of 40 or so.

I might use "Train One" for album art.

honestly, these aren't very interesting photos. they're
clear, which is good... but just taking a photo of
something cool doesn't make a good photo, it just means you
can look at the cool thing later. these are the sort of
photos that you'd take on your vacation somewhere, but they
aren't interesting as art.

i have to agree with r40f here. you just documented some
stuff you saw, not really taking into account things such as
composition, contrast and colour.

low resolution pics are ok, until you see pixels as little
square blocks. If you're serious about photography, go for
something serious like a canon digital.

do you think art should primarily be interesting or
pleasing (yes, yes, the one doesn't exclude the
other, which is why I asked what the primary "effect"
(-ish.. can't find a better word) of art should be)?

Points: 35867 Status: Lurker | Show recordbag



onto the pics: the first one is great, but maybe you should
actually do some photoshopping on it.. a slight increase in
contrast (don't over-contrast it like the hype is today) and
maybe something to make the wall seem more white than
yellow?

in the two graff pics, the graff is awesome.. the last one
could've been kind of that tiltshift photography thingie
which apparently can be done in photoshop, and I think it'd
look nice, so try it out...

not to start some huge argument here, but i'm sure you agree
that you can hardly call photographing someone else's art,
art. Especially if nothing else was done except framing the
subject so that it shows virtually nothing else.

in my opinion, when you consider yourself a photographer (in
the artistic sense of the word), the primary goal IS indeed
to make the photo interesting, to distinguish it from an
'image' used only to document a particular subject.

on a different note, i think you have some interesting
photoshop ideas.

there's no correct answer to that question - it is different
for everyone. what someone gets out of art does and should
vary from person to person.

personally, i enjoy being affected by art the most,
regardless of whether it is a "pleasant" feeling or not.
sometimes great art makes you feel terrible.

well, yes, the graff pics are a bit "this is cool" and then
one is looking at the graff, not the pics, but what about
the two other pics?

r40f: if there ever was a correct answer, that would be it!

as for me, if we're talking visual art, it'll have to be
something I enjoy looking at; something I find visually
pleasing (which doesn't imply that what has been depicted
needs to be something "beautiful").. same goes for any art,
actually.. just subsitute "looking at" with "listening to"
or "tasting" or whatever...

Cool! I'll try for some more soon. Maybe within 2 or 3
weeks.
