Hey guys!
So, I attempted more photography. I was on a six hour bus ride up to Muskoka with my class for a field trip, and I got extremely bored. I was playing around with my digital macro/photoshop, so tell me what you think!

We left at 6am, and this was taken out the bus window, so excuse the poor quality.

I was thinking about the song Emergency by Paramore when I shot this. :)

Our cabin's theme was "Lady Gaga Disco Dancers". I got to keep those, a disco ball, and this really cool purple siren.

Ah hahah, this is my friend's eye. He was sitting next to me, so I was like, "Hey Dante, can I take a shot of your eye?" And he's like, "Uh....Sure?"

Fragile! Heylo! June here!


Sweet! More photos of yours! Let's have a shot at this. :P


• First photo:

I love the colors and silhouetted looks of the trees here, but we can see the edge of the bus window, as well as the blur from a moving vehicle, and that's a bit distracting. If your camera has manual settings (also defined as PASM) then, you can edit your Aperture speed/shutter speed to about 1/800 so that it catches the shot in the blink of an eye or less. Thus, you will eliminate the high blur, and have a clean shot.

Also! I would zoom in a bit, or reposition the camera so that we do not have the edge of the window frame in there, dear. :)


• Second photo:


While the concept of shooting an emergency sign is rather cool, this photo isn't striking me as interesting, dear. I don't know how the surrounding area was, but! If you could have come in at an angle where the words appear to either be moving towards or away from you, then you could give this a rather artsy touch. Even, you could come in from the bottom; it'd be nice to be able to see the whole "warning" word, dearie. :)


• Third!


I love this one! :P You can see your reflection in the beads (which is neat!). Love the vivid colors-- brilliant shot.


• Fourth!

The eye looks unamused. :P Maybe you should have excited your friend so that the eye looked more awake, haha. There's a bit of a glare there, which is kind of distracting, but sweet macro!


Keep up the good work! Hope to see more from you, dear. :)

Hi Fragile heart! Nice photos! I remember bus photos... ah yes. Let's not get into that. So, here's some comments~

1) I actually like that picture. It has nice red and black contrast.

2) Nice sign. All of your pictures are really clear for being shot on a bus.

3) Oh that's so cool. I love the colour and then the black and white. So cool!!

4) Your friend's eye is really green. I like it.

All in all, great photos. I can't shoot a picture not blurry and you're able to do it on a moving bus. Lucky... But anyhow, nice random photos.

Peace, Love and Sugar Packets~

I love all of the photo's! The randomness is unique. It shows what traveling on a bus is like. Try using action fast shots when taking pictures of thing outside of windows that are going buy. Some of the colors were good but a little blurry. I really like them though!

Hey there! Wonderful pictures!

I: I agree with Starleene. It just makes it very difficult for the person who is looking at the picture to keep their attention. It just seems too busy with the blurred lines and colours. However, I love the background that you decided to attempt a photo of; it's gorgeous!

II: The song 'Emergency' by Paramore is a wonderful song, isn't it? I think what would've made this picutre better is if you had the whole--what I'm assuming to be-- word 'WARNING' in there. I think it would've made a cool effect.

III: I especially like this one. I love the angle and view that you got it on. I also love the effect that you made for it, making the beads the only colour, basically, in the photo. It just makes it pop even more.

OVERALL:
Wonderful!

Okie, dokie!

The first picture is pretty, but there is a glare in it, and you can see the border around the bus window...
In the second picture, the colors are deffinatly eye-poping with the bright orange-on-gray.
In the third picture, I love angle you picked for this picture.

Also, these are really good, so keep up the good work...
