They are nice, but some of that out of focus blur seem a little artificial to me, but I'm no photographer so what do I know :p

They're the worst, most anonymous photos I've ever seen. You can point and click, WELL DONE! Have a biscuit.

I rather enjoyed the blur in 'Blue Windows, Blue Sky' The only place it seemed a bit forced was 'Into the Heart'.

I hate photography.
Somebody else goes to enormous lengths to build an amazing piece of architecture but, oh *SNAP* I've taken a picture of it, am I not a GENIUS!!!!
Millions of years of evolution and planetary changes lead to a certain landscape but... oh *SNAP* I've taken a picture of it, am I not a GENIUS!!!!
A child is dying in a desert and his mother cannot feed him, there is pure pain in her eyes, but, wait up, *SNAP* I've taken a picture of it, am I not a GENIUS!!!!
A plastic bag, on a bit of wasteland, meanigless until... oh *SNAP* I've taken a picture of it, am I not a GENIUS!!!!

Not only have you shat in someones thread, you've also taken a bias outlook on photography. Nevermind this genius crap, allot of photography can envoke feelings. It's immersive, enjoyable to look at. But OH NO, the photographer has said to himself "I'm proud of that one". How dare he show feelings of self admiration!!! (btw swift_jams never even made such a statement so stop rambling)

seconded. these photos are nice but nothing special. swift isn't proclaiming to be some kind of prodigy, he just took some nice photos, which he didnt have to share with us, and if we didn't care we don't need to shit in this thread.
dan, you write music don't you? plenty of people don't care about that and probably think your music is shit. doesn't mean they have to go round saying it, just for kicks and cheap thrills, on a message board. think about that next time you write a track for grinning ape. leave swift alone.

looking at things is also an art.... so is nose-picking or blindfolding oneself with one's tongue extruding... my point : your statement is a fundamentally meaningless truism :)

I'll "shit" in anyone's thread I see fit, it's my way of expressing myself. Neither you nor _gwanker_ have made a cohernet point beyond "Swift Jams is a sentient being, he's alerted us to that fact by pointing a camera at some stuff and then fucking around with the result in Photoshop, RESPECT TO THAT" so fuck you, fuck your sub-par IDM-lite, fuck your mum, fuck your squalid ambition of being a middle manager for your local Tandy retail outlet, fuck your ideas which are all shit, fuck your piss poor little come back that'll go "im not bothered what u think, looser", fuck everything you said before, now and in the future, and I piss on your fucking chips.

funny how when someone uses words not found daily in The Sun they're attacked - are you a victim of the dumbing down of society so that you need to adopt post-moronic ironicism by way of trying to palm it off as humour or validation?

It's even more funny when someone analyzes someone wrongly. Thats not why I 'attacked' you (jokingly I might add) it was that headphase where everything is meaningless.

It's also funny the number of times someone inserts the disclaimer 'but I was joking!' or something similar to attempt to discredit what their replyee has writ. I was also referring to the very thing you seem to think I wasn't.

I find it vaunted and esoteric that I now have to treat my ontology with ostensible cogency. It's usually me who would make such a correlative statement like that to others, as I strongly represent the implicit syntax of an infinitum nature.

Try making the blur a bit more gradual in those. :-)
Once you do that they should be nice.

Yes, I will try that thanks. I'm just really learning about photography and editing and stuff. It's fun, and I like sharing my stuff with other people just to get my 2 bits in. I mean other people share their stuff here, why can't I? But I guess I shoudn't be angry for negative criticism. It's criticism either way, and that's what I'm really looking for.

You're right. We'll that depends on how you look at the replies., whether you like who is giving the replies or not. This is all too confusing so lets just say: "Hey, that kid took some pictures, they aren't bad, but they aren't necessarily good either, he took them though cause he liked the scene and uhh, xltronic is the place to be."

Not meaning to be over-critical here, but why not share something you're actually proud of, instead of your first few snaps? They look like you've cut up an on-the-edge corporate stock photography catalogue, added your own titles for no apparent reason, then hopped on the interweb to spread the good news.

my advice is stick w/ analog
digital pics / arts / design is flooded with hacks these days
older formats look so much nicer and are more fun / interesting to produce then simply pointing and clicking
but i do like the color in your pictures !
