My first attempt at Photography

Me, just fooling around

I had my brother take this pic. The 'glasses' were just for fun, lol ^_^



Dragon fan

The Huge dragon fan that hangs on a wall in my house



Revived.In.Paradise

I took this with my meagre 2mp Nokia camera which is quite ironic since the phone ceased to come alive just a few days later after taking this pic.



Speed of light!

I tried my hand with blur and it is amateur at best, but I'm quite fond of this pic.



In wait for the coming

This dog was just standing there obediently, as if it was waiting for something.



Radiate

Getting the sun to look as if it was rising from the mound was no easy task!



Solitary

Another picture taken from my now deceased phone *sniff*



The journey

I snapped this pic while walking along the ever-open road . It too was from my old phone's camera.

I really liked all of those pictures. You did a great job of capturing the beauty in them and I applaud you for that. Normally, when I look through other people's photography on here I see trees or flowers and that's just about it. You didn't do that. You included a lot of pictures that made me think of "Life" in general. Good job.

Your pictures are quite captivating. I like them all but i love three out of eight of your pictures. Speed of light!,
In wait for the coming, and Radiate
When i see In wait for the coming, it touched me instantly as if the dog in the picture represent the never ending waiting in our life. The color of the sky and the ocean also somehow connected. This picture looks natural, adding a real feeling in me.
The other pictures also hold some important moment in life. I am not a professional photographer but your pictures did caught me.

I feel like the glasses ruined the first picture, but I know that they were just for fun, and I'm sure you still have the first picture without them saved. It would have been nice to see both though.
The second one is okay, but I feel like it's at an odd angle and it makes the picture appear quite bright and unfocused.
I really love the third picture, it might be my favourite. There's just something so simple yet mysterious about it.
I also really like the "Speed of Light" image. It looks like you're traveling through time and it's just really bright and wonderful, if you catch my drift.
The next two seem to go together, although I'm sure you didn't intend to do this. The image with the dog is filled with cool colours, and the sunset image is filled with warm, and they contrast one another in a really great way. At the same time, they both give off a relaxed feel, as contrasted as they are, they're quite similar. I dig it.
I think the next two are nice, but I don't find them to be anything spectacular. The one called "Solitary" almost looks like someone painted it, which is neat, seeing as it's photography. It's like the meshing of arts.
I'm not really a photographer myself, but I love viewing photography. I hope my little comments were of some sort of help, some of these were mediocre, but some of them were great, so good friggin' job

Hi Murtuza! Here goes my first review. Please, don't mind if I'm a bit harsh. Its because I want you to improve.

Picture 2: I was able to recognize that it was 'The Huge dragon fan' only after reading its caption. You should have try experimenting with other angles too. Apart from that, there is too much yellow. I mean you have over saturated this photograph.

Picture 3:

Spoiler

I took this with my meagre 2mp Nokia camera which is quite ironic since the phone ceased to come alive just a few days later after taking this pic.

Haha! Maybe its because you took picture at cemetery. Ghost had entered in your phone causing its death.
This photograph is good but there isn't much variation in level of back and white which in fact is necessary for B&W photograph. Apart from that angle, frame, everything is great!

Picture 4: Awesome picture! So far the best click. You've succeeded dude. This blur effect makes me feel like I'm in the back of car and it also gives a sense of motion to the picture. Great!

Picture 5: Dude, color...Again you've over saturated this photograph with blue. That is not the original color of sky. Dog a the beach is great! Specially, position of dog in the frame.

Picture 6: Again too much of yellow. But here it's creating a good effect.

Picure 7: I think you've edited this picture in Nokia itself. Huh! Again too much of green in green. DISLIKE!

Murty!

I came to review and to try out my new A&P reviewing style. I said I'd be starting a reviewing frenzy, but I feel like I can't be bothered to. So I forced myself. I'm getting my laptop tomorrow, so it should help.

Anyway! Enough of the rambling. I'm not gonna review like this

Photo 1
Comments Yeah, you ARE fooling around! ;D I have to say, I like this pic. I love the effect - I dunno what it's called - where everything is in black and white but your hair is kind of shining ... yeah XD It's pretty cool. I love the contrast between that and the blue glasses.
Even Better If (EBI) About the blue glasses. They feel a bit out of place. Were they in the actual photo? Ah well. Suits 'messing around' pretty well.

Photo 2
Comments Now this is just gorgeous! ^_^ I'm such a big fan of super/digital macro - extreme close ups. I love taking photos of flowers and colour is such an important thing in my photos, which kinda explains why I like it. It's super bright and such an amazing shade of orange. It immediately catches your eye and I know straight where to look at.
EBI To be honest, this might be impossible - I know from experience when doing similar shots - but if the angle was slightly to the left so we could make sense of the black lines a bit. Ignore it if it WAS impossible - I can't judge from the screen

Photo 3
And will you look at THAT! I'm already really far in. I think. I think it's the music I'm playing that's helping a bit.
Comments This is -
Hold on. Is that a HEART in the background? I'll try and show what I mean here.

Anyway. This is pretty weird. I feel that it's got a lot of potential but I don't know how you could bring it out. It'd be a great scary photo, but not the way it is XD
EBI If you could make the whole photo more contrast-y so it looks a bit more ominous in a way

Photo 4
Comments Wow! I love this. It's not perfect but it's got some great potential. I certainly couldn't do something like that without making the whole thing blurry XD I feel like I'm in a car and I can feel the motion!
EBI This is great for a first attempt. Soon one day, you'll be able to make the lights - somehow - in straight lines like "Air Paint". Try that one day.

Photo 5
Comments As I said earlier, colour is something important in my work for me which is also why I loved it. It just looks amazing. Look at the SEA! THE SKY! It's amazing. It looks like a painting where the two are - nearly - one. I know Gawrav said it's not how the sky actually is, but I liked that! I like how the sky and sea are one. The dog made the picture complete.
EBI None.

Photo 6
Comments I love this. Such a brilliant idea. It looks really really cool and the colours are spectacular.
EBI More like a question. Is that cloud plugging - LOL. I wrote plug XDD That's a word that sounded like what I just heard on the music XDDDDD Once on the NumberJacks, when the number taker comes, (a kids TV), I swear the first time I heard it, it said the F-bomb instead of a "number mucker-upper" XDDDD - Is that cloud blocking the sun? Not that you could've done anything, but I have to say, if we could of seen the sun shining without it being blocked, it would've been parfait.

Photo 7
Comments Wow. I love your ideas. It looks like - I dunno if it's the camera - an architect's model. Y'know when you go to a shop and they're like "Ooh, look at our awesome plans for some zillion-dollar development for residents none other than Bill Gates, Oprah, Simon Cowell and Her Majesty The Queen!"? Like that. It looks great.
EBI I actually dunno whether the quality is a good or bad thing, but I think it'd have been great if it had been better quality. But if it loses the architect's model thing, then no XD

Photo 8
Comments I'll be honest, I didn't particularly like this photo. There was nothing interesting about it that gave it the 'ooh' or 'wow' factor. I think that there's a lot that could improve it
EBI Try experimenting with the angle. Worm's eye view - taking a photo from a low angle as if you're on the ground like the one with the mound - would make it so much more interesting. You could maybe put some leaves on the floor around the lens and give it a frame and if you had PHOTOSHOP ... well. Enhance the vanishing point.

Dude. I'm glad this started my frenzy of 37 reviews. I love your ideas, they're great and you've taken some lovely shots. You've got some epic potential, man Did you edit any of your photos? Maybe you should if you wanna mess around, like at picnik.com or something (free). If you have, well. They just made your photos better.

You make me wanna go to India now! (Actually, I went to an Indian restaurant few hours ago. I love your food! Paneer, Butter Chicken, the spring rolls, the coconut lagdoos stuff, the naan ... I wanna go back now. Heaven :3)

Keep snappin'!
Duckeh ;D

Nice work! First attempt, huh? Well, it's quite unbelievable because you seem like a pro!

I love you're snaps! It looked as if it came from an expert! 'The Fooling Around' is a great start-up because it speaks about how creative you were. The second one seemed simple at first, but then shows the difference from right and left perspectives.

Following that is one of my favorites. The black and white phenomena is really right for the theme. The title really brings out an idea to the viewer. This, sir, is a very important quality of a multimedia artist, and I think you've got what it takes!

The excitement continues in 'Speed of Light'. This type of photos are getting cliche, but seeing that this is your first time, I think its very remarkable! Also, I never get tired of these photos because they bring the excitement out! The image with the dog turns the scene to subtle. This works great since it contemplates the upper images. I also like the radiate, but it seems to common especially at brochures and magazines.

The tree in solitary is very emotional. Loneliness and longing can be seeped from the tree. This effect works very great for me. The journey seemed less edited. It was natural, but it's quite to real to fit with the others in this album.

Photo Rating:
Wowee! Y'know, photographers with this rating are told to be great Multimedia artists . I really like your photos! They exude different emotions from different time and scene but are coherent and united. Just try to check-up on your order of images to make a story out of your album.

Good luck on Photography!
