photographies

It has been ages since I've posted anything on here, and I felt it was high time, but since my writerly side still hasn't recovered from NaNoSlaughter I thought I'd post some photos instead. I've been experimenting with photographyage a bit lately, and I've tried to pick some here that sort of have a similar theme.

As with most things, I have no idea at all what I'm doing when it comes to photography, so please, criticize away!

Bigfoot! :lol:
First off, I want to know how you layered the pictures or whatever (second and third). Was it computer editing or was that a camera setting? Either way, it was pretty awesome.
It may just be me, but I would want to see the second one more crisply. Maybe it's my love for photoshopped pictures that contain impossible gravity, but it might look better that way.
The blurry/fadiness is totally amazing on the third one, though. Kinda creepy, but not as creepy as it would have been had you filled in the whites of her eyes with black.
Curious about the titles.
Anywhoo, awesome stuff, Azi!

Hi Azila!
I'm here to review! Let's get started.

So, all three photos are incredibly interesting! I love all three of them - partly because they're all amazing even in black and white.

'Dusk and Shiver'


Comments: I love this one! I really like it being fuzzy as it feels like you're in a dream which makes it look very, very cool, and not really clear. The figure seems to be someone or something that's not supposed to be there. It gives it a feel that there's a sort of story behind the photo, which I like.
Even Better If (EBI): For me, I can't really tell if it's getting away or just walking around. Perhaps if the figure looked like it was looking back while running away, it could be a bit clearer? If there is a story behind the photo and that the figure *shouldn't* be there, maybe if you sharpened the figure it would seem as if you'd like to point that bit out (that they're not supposed to be there). Just a suggestion.

'Quorum'


Comments:I like 'Quorum'! The dark planes and the light planes next to each other along with a sort of faint, ghost-like one there look great, in my opinion! I also love the vignette too.
EBI: A bit picky, but on the far left, you can see the stick that's holding up the plane but not the plane it self. Perhaps it'd be better if you moved the camera out of the way.
Also, I'm not sure if it's just me, but I can't see the vignette in the right hand corner.

'We all fall down'

Comments: I love this. It's my favourite, by far! I love the background and the young boy in front that seems ghost-like and unreal.His expression is almost... empty, for me, and that's what I love about it! (Also, his eyes. I think that if they weren't in the photo, it wouldn't have been as good).
EBI:My one critique is that the face and the fingers towards the left side aren't as defined and you can't see them as well against the background.

That's it from me! I hope I helped in anyway. I absolutely love all the photos. I think they're great!

PM me with any questions you might have, and keep snappin'! ;)

Hello Azila! Dogs here with your review! I typically don't review photography much but I did take a photo class for a trimester and I know a thing or two. So lets start with the first one:

Personally I'm not a huge fan of this because it's a little bit blurry which typically I don't like so much. Maybe if the figure and the tree's were sharper then it would look better. The contrast is good tho.

Ok so the second photo, I really like this. Just the abstractness in here and how one airplane is shadowy and the other one's in the back are light. That looks absolutely amazing! My only criticism is that maybe it's a little two light, make it darker just a tiny bit.

The last one, don't change anything please! It is absolutely perfect!!! I don't even know how you did that. It looks sooooooo good and I absolutism love it! It's like WOW!!!!!!

So all and all I really love these pics, I'm sorry I'm not much of a help, thank you for bearing with me through my first photo comment :) Keep up the good work!!!
